He Chance the Cliaie Concerning Com-
mlssioners and Olvea the Majority
to Clatsop County. "
Associated Pros.
Washington, ' Feb. 10. This afternoon
there was an Important development In
the Hawaiian matter. Tonight the cora-
mlsslonera from, the Islands are hopeful
If not confident that tomorrow will see
the practical, If not the formal conclusion
of their labors. This afternoon Secretary
Foster had a conference with the com
mlssioners at th state department which
lasted until 8 o'clock. In the course of the
proceedings the- commissioners were In
formed that arrangements had been made
for their reception by; President Harrison,
tomorrow. One of the" Hawailans said
this evening that he hoped to get through
with the business tomorrow. probably on
mis latter point, nowever, ne was too
sanguine, for it Is not considered likely
that any determination will be reached
by this government until the representa-
tives of the deposed queen shall have pre- DolpB reconsidered and all the amend
sented their side of the case. This, of merits adopted by the senate rejected and
course, cannot be done before the latter the bill passed without amendment, lust
part of the week. A published Interview
with Paul Newmann the queen's commis
sioner, to the United States, gives the
representatives of the provisional gov
ernment much satisfaction.
"It disposes of the sentimental idea
of the question," said one of them, this
evening, "of which so much has been
said by opponents of annexation. Accord
Ing -to Neumann, he hears that an asree-
ment is prepared In triplicate which the
'queen proposes to sell the Islands to the
United States. We propose to give them
this country but the end aimed at, Is the
same,' and the natives win be exactly in
the same position whichever proposition
Is accepted.".
WILL BE PROSECUTED.
All the Auditors of Illinois for Twenty-
1 Twd Years Past.
Springfield, Ills., Feb. 10. Acting gov
ernor Gill this afternoon ordered the
prosecution of all state treasurers and
auditors since the adoption of the consti
tution in 1870, for irregularities in ofQce
In pocketing interest, on public funds,
misappropriating Insurance fees and
other perquisites which should have been
turned Into the- state treasury. Twelve
ex-s.tate officials and nearly one hundred
bondsmen running through a period of
over twenty years are concerned in the
proceedings ordered. The acting governor
In an official communication to Attorney
General Moloney declared that $2,000,000
had been Illegally sequestered from the
public treasury. . The officials against
whom he directs the attorney general to
commence prosecutions are all republi
cans with one exception.' -
MORE GOLD GONE OUT,
Another Enormous Shipment for the
. Bonks of Europe. .
New York, Feb. 10. The gold shipments
by tomorrow's steamers will aggregate
13, 250,000. The original estimate Is re
duced because one house preferred to
ship bonds. Orders are already received
to consign $5,600,000 next week, provided
a large sterling loan due on February 15th
Is not renewed. Of this amount at least
$2,000,000 will be forwarded on Tuesday
and the balance on Saturday.
Secretary Foster is now issuing bonds
ln order to replenish the gold stock In
the treasury. Over $50,000,000 are to be Is-
sued, starting with fifty millions. The
plan contemplates the issue of as much
more as circumstances demand, even up'
to the limit of the entire amount of out
standing greenbacks.

Is authority for the statement that the

ured a legal battle for the posaeRsion of

Washington, Feb, ; 10.-Gallinger from
the select committee appointed by the
senate; to Investigate and report to. the
senate the facts in relation to the em
ployment for private purposes of armed
bodies of men or detectives In connection
with differences btwecn worklngmen and
employers, submitted a report lo the
eommltteee today. The report expresses
the oplnloni that if firms and corporations
would discontinue the employment of
armed men on the occasion of present or
existing strikes their Interests would be
better subserved, Th committed declares
that the employment of a private armed
guard at Homestead was necessary, but
at thesame time there seemed to be no
excuse for the strikers themelves. In con
clusion the committee says the Investiga
tion led it to conclude that the fault did
not rest, wholly on one side and that the
middle fround seems to be In the dlree
Oon cJ arbitra tion. The committee makes
no recommendations,
p i, the senate the vote on the house
bill providing for sundry llchthouses and
other, kids to navigation which passel
sonve'davs aro wn on motion nt Rnator
as it came from the house.

poration may be sued In any district
where it may be found.

was disposed of It proceeded In committee
of the whole to consideration of the In-
valid pension appropriation and recom
mended $106,400,000. It proposdd to amend
the measure so that the amount would
be reduced to $166,090,000. This Is the
heaviest appropriation bill that has ever
beeh before the American congress. The
comoiitteee on appropriations came to
the conclusion that there should be some
retrenchment and recommended severcU
amendments which it thought would In
stitute reform:
First Providing for the transfer of the
pension bureau from the Interior depart
ment to the war department.lt was the
opinion that the pension bureau could
not be taken out of politics until It was
put where political Influence did not
count. '
Without closing th general debate, the
committee rose and the house took a re
cess till tomorrow.
GETTING HIMSELF READY.
Carlisle Is Acquainting Himself with the
Business of the Treasury.
Washington, Feb. 10. Carlisle within
lost few days has given much attention
and study to treasury affairs and Is ac
quainting himself with the business pend
ing In the department which Is likely to

tions Is the recent heavy absorption of
gold. Some of the treasury officials ad

tion. , -
