ALEXAIST DEIA, "V.A.. WEDNESDAY EVENING. FEB. 1, 1893. The New York which si ems to have usurped the place of the Tri? bune as the acknowledged organ of the protection wing of the republican party, says, "first annex Hawaii, then Canada, then Cuba." Why.

certainly No pent up Utica contracts the benefits of free trade to a protectionist when it rea? sons with his rhyme: it takes in the whole entire hemisphere. But if the products of the low-waged laborers of the three countries referred to come in free to compete with those of American lahorers. what difference would it make to the latter whether the American Hag lly over the former or not Would not the effect office coal from Canada upon the Pennsylvania coal miner be the same, whether the American or British flag fly over Canadian soil Then, too, if free trade with Hawaii, Canada and Cuba would be advantageous to Ameri? can laborers, why wouldn't it be more so with European countries, which im? port from the United States in a week more than Hawaii, Canada and Cuba do in a year One of the Washington newspapers says that tit yesterday's Cabinet meet? ing "there was practically a unanimous expression of opinion in favor of the an? nexation of Hawaii." Well, no matter how unanimous Mr. Harrison and bis cabinet may be in favor of the annex? ation of the wich Islands, Congress alone has power to act hi the ease, and absurd as some of its actions may be. it certainly cannot be so entirely daft as to essay the experiment of annexing a foreign country, with which this one is at peace, at the simple request of a fewdisnaturalized Americans who.with the assistance of United States forces, have temporarily displaced the legiti? mate government thereof.

As stated in yesterday's Gazette, the anti-option bill passed the Senate on that day by a vote of 40 to Strange to say, among those who voted in the affirmative were 1- democrats. And yet the Constitution nowhere pro? vides that Congress shall have anything to do with commerce in the States, and democrats, it' republicans do not, tit least profess to abide by the Constitu? tion and to believe in States' rights. lint there are democrats and democrats. IT is proposed in New York that legislative counsellors be appointed lo scrutinize every bill before it pass the legislature of tiial State, so that after its passage it may not be discovered to be unconstitutional. From the number of bills passed by ly decided by the U.

S. Supreme Court tobe unconstitutional, ii would seem that the appointment of congressional counsellors would be even more advisa? ble. John S. Wish, formerly of Vir? ginia but now of New York, has with? drawn from t'ne membership of the Southern Club in the latter city. He didn't have to take that trouble in the case of the Westmoreland Club of Rich? mond.

It is hoped that Congress may not be so stupid as to be induced by the repub? lican protectionists' absurd cry of "Ha? waii or fight," to increase appropria? tions either for the navy or army. FROM WASHINGTON. of the Alexandria Washington, Feb. is93. Funeral services were held over the remains of Major-General S.

S. Carroll at St. John's Episcopal Church this morning. The cavalry from Fort Myers and the light battery from the barracks escorted the remains to the i church. Among the pall bearers were Gen.

P. M. B.YouugofGeorgia,andGen. i Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia. At the con? clusion of the services at the church the funeral cortege made its way to Ar? lington cemetery.

Senator Platt of Connecticut, chair? man of the Senate committee on terri? tories, says the Sandwich Islands and the Nicaragua Canal are the two things the United States should control. Messrs. Hiue, Lacey, Hume and Bod fish gave their reasons to the House District committee to-day why the Washington. Alexandria and Fairfax Railroad bill should be passed. This bill provides for a road from this city io Alexandria, with a branch from Ar? lington to Fails Church, and to cross the Potomac by a ferry boat.

The bill has been favorably reported in the Sen site and is now on the calendar of that body. The "-sports" who play the horses and fight the tiger at "Monte Carlo," the south end of the Long Bridge, were considerably riled to-day when the rail? road company raised the price of round trip tickets to that place and back from 17 to '20 cents. The former rate im? posed additional work on the ticket sellers in the matter of change-making. The sports recognized that fact, but thought the trouble could be obviated by reducing the fare to 15 cents. The railroad company, however, thought change could be made better with 20 cents as the fare, und fixed it at that price.

As no metallic casket could be obtain? ed in Colon, one has been sent there from New York for the remains of the Sate American Consul at that port, Col. W. E. Sims of and they will soon be brought here for interment. I The government pays all the expense of bringing back the remains of iis of? ficials who die abroad.

A. W. Earles was to-day appointed postmaster at Narcott, county, vice D. W. Williams, resigned.

Representative Meredith ol ihe Alex? andria district introduced a bill in the House to-day to repeal tbe civil service law. It is said at the Capitol that he never did a more popular thing, aud that if the other members he sincere enough to vote in accordance with their convictions, which, however, is not ex? pected, the bill will pass, and be ap? proved by nine-tcnlhs of the voters of all panic-. Duriug the debate in tin- House late yesterday evening on tbe sundry civil bill, Mr. Bianchard, of Louisiana, insist? ed that Mr, Holman had taken an un? fair advantage, aud read from the Re curd to prove that Mr. Holman himself had urged the 'insertion of similar para? graphs in previous sundry civil bills: and tapping his desk with his glasses for emphasis, be said is no se? cret about this opposition led by Mr.

Butler, of Iowa. The whole move was inspired by Mr. Mr. Butler jumped to bis feet and, facing Mr. Blau chard, said with a threatening shake of his band "I do not think it proper for the member from Louisiana to question my motives.

You are no gentleman to make the statement you have made." Every member was on the Moor in an instant and crowding toward the two men, who stood only two rows of seats apart. The House, which had been in a turmoil of confusion, became sudden? ly stilled. Every eye was on Mr. Bianchard, who turned sharply, and af? ter bowing politely to the chairman, said in a mild but earnest voice "Mr. Chairman, this is neither the time nor the place to resent stielt an insult.

At a more appropriate time and in a more appropriate place the gentleman from Iowa will be called to account." Mr. Bianchard then continued his argument against tbe point. 31 r. Butler's sharp words and the sharper words of Mr. Bianchard caused great excitement in tbe House.

It was known that if the quarrel were not set? tled, and speedily, too, Mr. Butler would be placed in a ticklish position. Friends immediately surrounded Mr. Butler and advised him to modify his statement. A few moments later Mr.

Butler arose aud said that he bad made the remark about Mr. Bianchard in the excitement of debate and that he apolo? gized to the House and to the gentle? man from Louisiana. Mr. Bianchard was recognized when Mr. Butler had tiuished and said that as Mr.

Butler bad Apologized liolli the House and himself, he accepted his explanation. A delegation of Alexandrians com? posed of Messrs. Reed, Harlow. Ag uew, Caton and Cooper, and Col. An? derson, of this city, appeared before the House District committee to-day and argued in favor of the Washington, Al? exandria and Mt.

Vernon Electric Kail road bill, a bill that provides for a bridge across the Potomac at Arlington, to be completed in five months and at the cost of tbe company, and not of the government. From the questions asked by the members of the committee, and the satisfactory replies.it seems probable that tbe bill will receive a favorable re? port, though the Georgetown people have announced their intention of op? posing it with every means in their power. The bill introduced in the Senate last Monday and referred to the I riet committee of that body, and, ii is said, lias tin-support of Mr. chairman of that committee. A poll of the Senate on tbe proposed repeal of the Sherman silver act has been made and the result shows that there are only about eight members on the democratic side who can be de? pended upon to vote for the re? peal is even more discouraging on the republican side and that there is a ma? jority of seven or eight on the republi? can side of the chamber even against bringing the measure a vote.

The debt statement for January is? sued this afternoon shows a decrease in cash in the Treasury during the month of about $3,000,000, making the cash about $20,000,000, against $29,000,000 on the Grst day of January, IS93. The republican Senatorial caucus this morning decided to admit Arizona to? gether with the other three territories previously decided upon. In the Senate to-day Mr. Hunton in? troduced an amendment to the sundry civil bill making an appropriation for the purchase of a chronological history of the State Department. There are no indications of any ma? terial increase to be made in the num? ber of U.

S. naval vessels in Hawaiian waters, and no devcloments that will lead to bloodshed in Honolulu or else? where in the islands have come to light. A clash in the House over the amend? ed anti-option bill will probably come to-morrow when the opponents of hat measure will endeavor to have a show of strength made by moving its refer? ence to the ways and means committee. The Senate District committee had the Norfolk and Western Railroad bill before them this morning, but were un? able to agree upon a report and ad? journed until to-morrow. It is the unex? pected that always happens, but if this bill shall pass at this session the most knowing men in the Senate and even in the committee which has it under consideration will be greatly surprised.

The amendments proposed by Chair? man McMillan to the bill permit any other roads to connect with and use the new bridge. The committee appears to be about equally divided on the bill. The Hawaiian Affair. There were no new developments in the Hawaiian matter in Washington yesterday. It is understood that Presi? dent Harrison and Secretary of State Foster are considering a plan of action.

It is not probable anything definite will be done until the arrival of tbe commis? sioners from the Hawaiian provisional government. While the annexation sentiment is strong in Congress, the impresaiou prevails that the President only con? templates establishing a protectorate at present.

Sinoot and a friend were walking by side along the wagon road lying between the railroad and river at Rapidah station, on Saturday afternoon lust, they were shockingly near being run down by the malicious negro driver of Mr. Henry Holliday's double carriage. The acream of Miss Fernival, (God bless her) who was in the carriage at the time, was the only sound that warned the two gentlemen and instinctively they stepped aside as the two horses fairly flew between them. No slow ing up or warning from the driver nor the man, Lewis Holliday, who was riding with the lady, and but for her there would certainly have lu-en two cripples if nothing more se I rious. The river and mill-dam at this place have quite, an arctic appearance and are sufficiently picturesque to compensate those to the grand and beautiful in? clined who do not choose to avail them? selves of the excursion rates to view the ice-bridge at Niagara.

Thus far it has been a terrible winter on the wheat crop and unless more and la-ting snows or genial weather pre? vails it must of necessity cause a poor yield; Squire W.

Last night she forced a sharp cornstalk in some unac? countable way up one of her nostrils, from which she bled to death. Her half-brother, of the same age, belong? ing; to a gentleman near Cnlpeper, sold for $600 only a short time ago. This mare was more valuable.

The ice harvest induced many to fill their cellars; others had ice bouses dug and the ice gotten out and banked on the creek sides and ice ponds until the bouses are completed.

Congress. In the Senate yesterday alter the pas? sage of the anti-option bill, mention of which was made in the GAZETTE of that day, a motion for conference with the House on the hill went over. Mr.

Huoton voted for the anti-option bill, Mr. Daniel against it. The fortifica? tions appropriation bill was then taken up. Mr. Sherman moved to have the Nicaragua bill taken up so as to make it the Unfinished business after the ap? propriation bill.

After some discussion the motion was rejected. Senator Dolph then his argument on the question of Hawaiian annexation. lie yielded the floor temporarily to per? mit notices to be given of memorial services on Friday next, at '2 p. for the late Senator Harbour, of Virginia, and on Saturday, after 4 p. for the late Representatives Gamble, of South Dakota Ford, of Michigan, and Stack house, of South Carolina.

The anti-option bill passed by the Senate is the one passed by the House of Representatives on June 9, 1S92, with various Senate amendments thereto, and is intended to prevent the sale of futures in all kinds of farm prc? ducts. The House in committee of the whole on the sundry civil bill adopted an amendment reducing to $160,000 the appropriation for public printing and binding. The committee was discus? sing a question of order raised against the consideration of a river and harbor amendment when the House adjourned. Norfolk and Nor? folk and Western bill will not have a smooth passage through the Senate District committee, even with the amendments added to it to make the bridge at the Three Sisters a highway for all roads that desire to use it and re? quiring first-class terminal facilities. The subcommittee having the bill in charge, composed of Senators Faulkner, McMillin and Gibson, held a protracted meeting Monday afternoon, and finally agreed to disagree.

Each member of the subcommittee has a different opin? ion regarding the measure and they were unable to reach a compromise. Senator Faulkner advocates the re? porting of the bill to the Senate with? out amendment, or. in other words, in the same form in which it passed the House. Senator McMillau favors the plan mentioned above to make the bridge available to all roads and require the best of terminal facilities, and Sen? ator Gibson wishes an amendment made to the bill so as to protect the in? terests of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, in which the State of Maryland is interested to the extent of several millions of dollars. A special meeting of the full commit? tee has been called for to-day.

wlieu the sub-committee will roport their dis? agreement to the full committee and endeavor to reach some compromise.

The cause was an episode in the club house a fevc weeks ago. In a speech at Cooper Union Mr. Wise bad made a comparison between the democratic platform of to-day upon the tariff and the Confederate constitu? tion of war times. Mr. Wilton Ran? dolph, a Virginian, was one of the southern democrats who objected to the analogy.

Mr. Randolph afterward re? fused to shake bands with a friend of Mr. Wise who was taken to the club. Tbe matter came up before the bouse committee aud Mr. Wise, as a conse? quence, handed in bis resignation.

Mr. Wise and Mr. Randolph represent two of tbe most distinguished of Virginia families, the one being a son of the late Henry A. Wise, the Other being a lineal descendant of Thomas Jefferson. A slightly different story of tbe inci? dent at the club bouse is told by a prominent member.

He says that as Captain Wise was passing out of the Southern Club with Iiis friend he was accosted by Mr. Wilton Randolph who said ''John Wise, bow can you belong to the Southern Club and make republi? can speeches Mr. Wise is reported to have re? sponded appointed you to criticise The matter came up before the exec? utive committee who passed, as the re? porter was told, a severe censure on Mr. Randolph and a "mild" censure on Captain Wise. When asked why any censure was passed on Captain Wise, the member said it was threatened, if Mr.

Randolph was censured and Mr. Wise was not, that fifty or more of the members would at once resign. Cap? tain Wise, it was added, has not been in tbe club since the day he was inter? viewed on bis politics by Mr. Ran? dolph. Mr.

Wilton Randolph was seen and was delightfully graceful in manner. He very chivalrously declined to speak of Mr. Wise in Mr. Wise's ab? sence. He was ignorant of the (act that Mr.

Wise bad resigned, be said. Captain Wise is iu Europe. Mrs. Wise, at her home. No.

"Yes, and I have the acceptance of bis resignation up stairs." That is absolutely all Mrs. Wise would say. dispatch from Athens says the island of Zante was shaken early yesterday morning by an earthquake.

Many houses were wreck? ed aud the occupants ran in their night clothes into the streets. The roof of the prison fell in and mnny prisoners were wounded. Two hours later the I town was shaken by repeated shocks, houses fell in all quarters and the pris on became so unsafe that many prison? ers were removed. Scores of families left the town to camp in the fields on tbe outskirts. Many dead bodies have been found in the ruius and a hundred or more are reported to have been in? jured severely.

The people of Hackensack have heen talking a good deal for the past two weeks about their new Baptist minister. Rev. D. D. Read.

Mr. Read is deliver? ing a course of lectures on "Heaven Its Locality, Inhabitants, Occupations, and Life." He believes in a material heaven, built on the plau of an earthly city, and he locates it in the star Al? cyone. When asked for a brief explan? ation of hi3 ideas on the subject of heaven. Mr. Read said: soul is an entity and must have a dwelling place somewhere.

There is no reason why it should not have a ma? terial dwelling place, since we know that there are material bodies in heav? en, as, for instance, Christ, Enoch, Elijah and Moses. The teaching of Christ is explicit that heaven is a place, and in the verse which I took for my text, Hebrews it is written: be has prepared for them a "It is settled in my mind that heaven is a place, but where is it? Some say it is in the sky. others that it will be the earth purified by lire; bul weknowtbat heaven is already in existence, since Christ and the angels came from hea? ven. "Both the Scriptures and astronomy ofier us light on the location of heaven. There is no conflict here between sci? ence and religion on the contrary, to my mind they harmouizc.

We know that the earth not only moves around the sun. but that the whole solar sys? tem is traveling through space at au in? credible rate oi' speed. Some astrono? mer has figured it out that we are mov? ing in the direction of the star I'i, in the constellation Hercules, at a rate of 33,350,000 miles a year. There are oth? er solar systems in space moving like? wise. Maedler has shown that the mo? tion of all stars is around Alcyone, and that this fixed star is therefore the cen? tre of the material heavens.

The earth moves about it in an orbit of 20,000,000 of years. Alcyone shines with a light equal to 12,000 of our own suns ami is the brightest star knowu to us. It takes light Too years to travel thence to the earth. What if there, at the centre of gravity, should be the place where the King eternal, immortal and invisible, I he only wise tod, reigns Why should it not be so "In Fourth Ephesians, 10. it is written: "Christ ascended far above all the heavens." and Paul says be was caught up "into the third heaven." The Hebrews believed in three heav? ens.

The first was that where the birds and clouds fly through the air; the second wa- the stellar heaven, and the beyond our Wems to me that it is -m ima point that scientific and religi? ous teachings converge. "All these theories of astronomy may be true, and. if they are, Alcyone is a most fitting place for the eternal city but reinembcr. 1 am not speaking dogmatically. I am feeling for the truth.

I believe in a material heaven, where we shall enjoy eternal lite and recognize our friends whom we loved on "Do you believe in a maternal bell?" "Well, I don't know. I don't say that do, but I have material enough collected to warrant me in delivering a series of sermons on the subject, and I may do that when I have finished with heaven." Mr. Head went on to say that, hav? ing demonstrated to his satisfaction that heaven might be in the star Al? cyone, he would in bis next sermon de? scribe the life and occupations of the the heavenly inhabitants.

She wanted to go on the stage ami got a place in the bal? let of the "Black Crook" company. Later on she danced in Reilly Woods's combination.

On Sunday night Agnes was walking on Sixth ave? nue when she met another aunt, Annie llilliary, who is employed as a servant at lo west Hi'd street. Her aunt Annie began to upbraid her for dancing ou tho stage. "You are disgracing the said. "I'm almost 18 ami I can do as I like," retorted Agnes. The quarrel continued, and the aunt called on Policeman Moran toarresf the girl.

Moran did so and arraigned her in Jcfierson Market police court Monday morning on a charge of disor? derly conduct. The aunt appeared as complainant. Agnes's mother was in court, too, and admitted to Justice Voorhis that Agnes was of age and therefore had a right to do as she pleased. The aunt withdrew the com? plaint and the girl was Y. Sun.
