any Known untu aasi evemng,
when the attending physicians
announced that bis malady was
Bright's disease of the kidneys
and urraemia. Kalakaua s visit
here was made on account of his
failing health. He commenced to
gain soon after his arrival here,
but the improvement was only
temporary and soon after his re
turn from a trip to Southern Call
fornia last week, his condition
became much worse. During
few days he was unconscious
nearly all the time. His life was
prolonged bv use of stimulants
At 2 :30 p. m. Medical Inspector
Woods, who was bending over the
king announced that the last
spark of life had fled. King Kala
kaua's remains will be embalmed
at once. It is probable that ser
vices will be held in the Trinity
Episcopal church on Thursday
and the remains will leave here
for Honolulu on the United .States
flag ship Charleston before the
close of the week. The next regu
lar passenger steamer for Hono
lulu will not leave here until
January 27, and it is probable that
the first intelligence of the king's
death, which will be received by
the Hawaiian people, win be
when the Charleston arrives at
Honolulu with the remains of the
king aboard. The flags on all
public buildings here were placed
at half-mast to-day, and the
Hawaiian ensign is also at half
mast above the Palace hotel.
Kalakaua became king of Hawai-
ia in February 1874. His successor
will he his sister Princess Jiuuo-
kalani.

profound silence prevailed througl

and the house adjourned until 8

Shortly after the house adjourn

committee met. Representative
Metcalfe was the first witness
called. He said: "I got $200 last

said tlirtt he told McGraw from

he (Metcalfe) had better follow

said, showed him the money i.fter

Judge Calkins said that if
Clarke paid Metcalfe money to
vote for him, he knew nothing of
it. He did not believe the state

Harry Clarke, the accused, was
called. He admitted that he had
been working in the interest of

as of very great importance, second

Repairing the Bridges,
According to the Salmi States
man the spirit of repair has struck
the narrow-gauge railway, as well
as the Southern Pacific and that
part of the Oregonian railway
A'hich has just been widened to a
standard guage. Frequent wrecks
drove the Southern Pacific to the
thorough repair of its bridges,
trestles and track. Heavier rolling
stock and numerous instances of
spreading rails were the incentives
prompting the widened narrow
gauge to it, while fearof accidents
made such action incumbent uion

Dundee and Airlie are now five
gangs of bridge carpenters, aggre

Appropriation! (or Orsfon.
Washington, Jan. 20. In pur
suance of the policy of the demo
crats of the house, Bland this
morning demanded the reading
of the journal of yesterday in ex
tensu. The clerk having con-
cinaea ne "e, man marts. .
point that the journal was not
read fully, and demanded that a
description of the various com
munications, resolutions, bills and
petitions (which were referred un
der rules, and not in open house)
be read. The speaker ordered the
clerk to read this portion of the
journal. Its reading was not com
pleted until 1 o'clock.
Then ensued one of the wildest
scenes of confusion the house has
seen during the present congress.
The speaker having stated the
question to be the approval of the
journal, and having counted and
stated an affirmative vote, Mills,
of Texas, rising to a parliamentary
question, asked whether the prop
er question was not on ordering
the previous question. Thia query
was based on the fact that when
the clerk had finished the reading
of the first part of the journal (the
portion usually read) McKinley of
Ohio, had demanded the previous
question. The speaker in response
to inquiry stated this fact, but
said the demand was not renewed
after the reading was completed.
AIcKinley corroborated the
statement of the speaker.
Mills then expressed a wish to
debate the question of approving
the journal, but the speaker de
clined to recognize him, on the
ground of the house dividing.
then a storm-cloud burst. Vt ltn
excited gestures Mills strode down
aud, shaking his fist at the speak
er, roared out a volume of de
nunciation, accusing him of prac
ticing fraud in the house.
xou are perpetrating- fraud
upon the house," he thundered,
''and you know it!:' His party col
leagues burst into a round ot ap
plause and cheers, and- gathered
around tte champion, but the.
speaker was immovable, and amid
excitement requested those ep-
posed to approving the journal
to nee. Pli legmatical ly be counted
one, two, three," and announced
the motion carried, t7 to 3. The
yeas and nays demanded by dem
ocrats, and ordered, and as the
clerk proceeded to call the roll,
Mills poured out his denuncia
tions. Again be accused the
speaker of perpetrating fraud upon -the
house, and referring to Mckin
ley, said "we do not expect the
gentleman from Ohio to lend him
se.f to such proceeding; we rely
on the gentleman from Ohio, for
we believed him an honorable
gentleman, and we know he (in
dicating speaker) is not."
