Stevens' Vigorous Response to the President. 1 - CLEVELAND IS CONTRADICTED Harrison's Administration Upheld and the Cause of Lil's Fall Made Plain. Associated Press. Augusta, Me., Dee. 20. Ex-Mlnlster Stevens la out in a reply to President Cleveland's severe strictures upon him In his Hawaiian message. Stevens says the president's criticism is but a feeble repetition of Gresham's statement pre viously published. "President Clove. land's grossly untrue and shamefully 1 njust allegation against myself and the naval commander rests entirely cn the statements of notoriously corrupt ministers of the fallen queen, of AVI1- ton, the queens favorite, and other thoroughly discredited testimony," say'B .Stevens. "1 repeat here what 1ms been amply verliled again and again, thai neither by force or by threat of fvnjc, or by any action of mine, was the fail of the monarchy precipitated. For months prior to November;- 1892, there had been a continual struggle between concern for each other. How many idle workmen now see It is not safe to as sume the employers' interest and theirs are wholly antagonistic? Is not the conclusion too clear to escape the most sluggish understanding that hard times for the employer cannot be good times for the employe? A brisk and regulir demand for the products of labor at fair prices is the only safe support for the wage scale, as It Is of dividends." Ihe ej:-president also spoke on the tub- Ject of corporate trusts and monopolies, and of the epidemic of lyp.blngs as alculated to propagate rather than to repress crime. Tomorrow ou-r.lng the ex-prt'Bident'rf recsylm at ihe Ui Ion League takes place. Two tl'oueand In itatlons have been sent out."'"

Believeing that there was no prospect of a difficulty Stevens left Honolulu January 4th on a trip to Hilo. .Return ing January 14th in company with Cap- lain Wiltz, he says he found liio city In great excitement, and the tide of revolution ready to surge. Stevens at tempted to tain access to the queen and try by friendly advice to urrtbt the revolution, but he was too late to prevent the carrying out her plan of overturning the constitution. What took place the afternoon of the 14th of January ended the monarchy forever. That the Hawaiian monarchy was over turned by the United States forces was, and Is, put forth for the sole purpose of bringing discredit on- the preceding administration at Washington, and on the action of the foreign relations com mittee of the United States senate , favor of annexation.

The Globe criticises Gladstone's slurring remarks regarding Gen. Tracy, ex-secretary of the navy In last night's debate In the commons These remarks were in response to an allusion by Lord George Hamilton to the judgment of the American ex-secre tary of the navy. Gladstone said: do not suppose Gen Tracy acquired such knowledge that the whole pallia ment has to defer to the opinion he sent across the Atlantic." The Globe soys Gladstone's sneer was unprovoked and utterly unjustified. Liot to Build a Home, for $2 The Packers of Choice olumbia River Salmon Their I!randa and Locations. KAJIF. LOCATION. AGESTS.

CREATED A SENSATION'. Chicago, Doc. 20. In the Prendergnst trial, the counsel for the defense created a sensation by announcing that any verdict short of hanging vouid be accepted. Associated Press. Washington, Dec. 20.-The Hawaiian question was disposed of for the pres. ent In the senate, when, after Hoar's argument, the message and the accom panying documents were referred ' to the committee on foreign relations That committee was directed to inquire and report whether, and if so, what ir regularities have occurred In the diplo matic or other intercourse between the United States and Hawaii In relation to the recent revolution In those is lands. The resolution for a Joint committee of three senators and three members to examine and report to congress upon the maritime canal company of Nlca ragua, with authority to visit Nicara gua, was agreed to. The senate also concurred in the i.ouse resolution for a holiday recess from tomorrow until Jnnuary 3, 1894. The resolution offered yesterday ly Mr. Frye, calling upon the secretary of state for information whether he had granted to any foreign cable telegraph compariy permission to land a line on the coast of j!Unlted states since March 1, 189'.'. i whether Rtich per mission hid,1 refused such. com pany prlot'iW date,, was taken up and agreed to. . , ,- Mr. Hoar addressed the senate on the Hawaiian question., He reviewed the events In Hawaii up to the Inaugu ration of Cleveland, and said "that there took place a certain transaction which suggested to Americans the ques tion, who Is the United States of Amer ica? Who represents, In great national and International affairs, its purposes, Its honor, Its policy, as to foreign rela tions? The question as to the legulity of the proceedings as to Blount's ap pointment was the question which It was the duty of the senate to deal with. The president, when he under took to decide that question and with hold from the people of tho United States what was doing until it was settled one way or another, seem.'d to have supposed he was the United States of America, and that whatever that' phrase meant It was but a synonym foi Mm. There was but one parallel for Willis' Instructions; that was Dogber ry's instructions to the watch: " 'You are thought here to be the most senseless and fit man for the const.-.ble of the watch; therefore, bear you the lantern. This Is your charge: You shall comprehend all vagrom men; you are to bid any man stand, In the prince's name.' " 'Watchman How if a' will not bland?' " 'Dogberry Why, then, take no note cf him, but let hlnl go.' " The quotation evoked a wave of laughter. At the conclusion of Hoar's remarks the message of the president and the information sent In response to Mr. Hoar's resolution some days ago. w-erc crdered printed and referred the committee on foreign relations. Mr. Morgan, chairman of the commit lee on foreign relations, submitted a resolution for the purpose of the fettle men', of the charges made against this and the former admlst ration regarding the Hawaiian policy. The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. Cockrell reported the urgency deficiency bill. "Mr. Peffer moved to strike out the item allowing mileage to senators and members for the present session. Ha argued that in the pres.'iit depressed condition of the country. It was wrong for senators and representa tives to take money to which their r'ght at least was in doubt. Mr. Dolph wished to remind the senator that some thing had escaped his attentlon-tliat no one was obliged to take the mlloagn, and if the bill passed and the senator from Kansas or any other senator had compunctions of conscience about It, they could leave the money in the treas- t'ly. After some debate, by a vote of 12 yeas to 41 nays, the motion .to striko cut was rejected and the bill passed. CARLISLE'S REPORT. Several Important Recommendations Made to Congress. . Washington, DecP 20. The annuul eport of the socretary of th treasury ' was sent to congress today. It slwwu during the first five months of the pres ent fiscal year that , the expenditures the government exceeded the re ceipts by $29,918,095. The secretary as sumes that the worst effect of the re cent financial troubles and business depression is past; that the remainder of the year will show better results, and he estimates the deficiency at the close of the year at $28,000,000. To meet this he recommends the amendment of Bpede payments, the resumption of the act of 1875 to authorize him to sell thrce-per-cent bonds not exceeding ; J200.000.000 In amount, at not less than par, saying, however, in his opinion, only the great pressing financial emer gency Justifies such a course. He sug gests that the bonds be' Issued In de nominations of 26 and multiples there of, to be sold through sub-treasuries and postofflces. In case congress should decline to follow this course, he recom mends that the secretary be empower ed to execute the obligations of the government not to exceed $50,000,000, bearing three per cent, to be sold or Irculated In payment of government obligations. He points out the necessi ty for an extension of the power of the secretary to maintain a large reserve for the redemption of United States cur- ency. The secretary adds: "As long as the government pursues the unwise policy of keeping its own notes out standing to .circulate as currency, and ndertakes to provide for their redemp tion in coin at presentation, it will be, In my opinion, essential for the secre tary of the treasury to possess tho means to meet such emergencies as the one which recently occurred in our financial affairs." He says the repeal of the silver purchase act makes such radical change in the currency policy of the government that until its effect Is more fully developed he does not con cider it advisable to recommend fur- , ther specific legislation on that sub ject. He says the great Increase In the bank reserve in the monetary cen tres of the country show conclusively that the amount of money in the coun try is greater than is required foi the ransactlon of business. He finds one f the principal difficulties of the treas ury results from the Indisposition of the public to retain silver dollars ana stiver certificates in circulation. He hail sought to remedy It by increasing the number of silver certificates of less de nominations than ten dollars, retiring the larger ones and substituting for them large notes of other kinds of cur rency. The report then deals at length wlta the tariff laws. He figures In favor of ad valorem duties. He also urges (Continued on Fourth Page.) mm Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S.
