Senator Morgan Gives .His Opin-
ion of the Ex-President.

- HAWAIIANiREGORD SGORED

Says Cleveland is Quite Capable of Double
Dealing-.u'l‘eller Resolution, Making
Gold or Silver Optional, Argued in the
Senate by Mr. Turpie.

Washington, Jan. 25.—Mr. Morgan, of
personal statement in. reference to
Alabama, gave notice yesterday that
he would ask permission to make a
personal statement _in reference to
what he conceived to be an attack
made upon‘ his veracity and character
by ex-President of the United States
Cleveland. He said that he wanted to
set himself fight and do himself jus-
tice on that subject.

Mr. Teller’ s concurrent resolution de—
claring United States bonds payable
either in gold or silver at the option of
the Government, was taken up and Mr.
Turpie (Dem., Ind.) made an argument
in its support.

He thought it not only in derogation
of the national honor, but in affirm-
ance of the public faith, that the two
houses should declare, and repeat the
declaration, that United States bonds
were payable in ‘coin,” not in “gold,’
and 'that the free coinage of standard
silver dollars should be favored.

He said that he would vote for it, and
that he thought its introduction timely
and opportune, especially when Con—

«gress was'confronted with a measure
purposing to increase the national debt
by $300,000,000 or $400,00,0000 by retiring
Treasury notes and funding them into
national bonds.

The subject of Senator Morgan’s
personal statement was ex-President
Cleveland’s published statement, deny—
ing that he had at any time contem-
plated the restoration of the Hawaiian
monarchy. The Senator was chairman
of the Committee on Foreign Relations
during the Cleveland Administration,
and he is well posted as to its acts
and intentions.

Mr. Morgan, risng to a personal ex-
planation, read from a Washington
newspaper a denial by ex- -President
Cleveland of his (Mr. ”Morgan s) report:
ed assertion in the legislative session
that Mr. Cleveland was in favor of the
annexation of Hawaii.

One paragraph in Mr. Cleveland's de-
nial is in these words:
knows me or anything connected with
my Administration is well aware that I
always opposed the annexation of Ha-
wall. I have been utterly and constant-
ly opposed to it.” After criticising the
want of courtesy in Mr. Cleveland’s
making this statement without calling
the matter to his attention, Mr. Mor-
gan, said, in reference to that explicit
denial, “I do not believe that is true.”

He accused Cleveland of “intrigue
and duplicity, without reason or ex-
cuse.” in connection with the mission
of Mr. Blount to Hawaii, and he read

at great length from Minister Willis"

dispatches to the State Department, de-
tailing interviews with the Queen in
Honolulu, in which she expressed her
intention of having the leaders of the
insurrection punished by decapitation
and confiscation of property.

Mr. Morgan said he believed that ex-
President Cleveland was quite capable'
of entertaining one purpose and declar-
ing another; of attempting to restore
the monarchy while expressing friend-
ship for the republic.

CLEVELAND DENIES THE STORY.

 

He Regards the Annexation of Hawaii as
a Perversion of Our National Policy.

Princeton, N. J., Jan. 25.—“It is one
of the strangest things of these strange
times that my position upon the Ha-
waiian question should be misunder-
stood.” That is the way ex-President
Grover Cleveland expressed himself
when shown the statement of Senator
Morgan in the Senate yesterday rela-
tive to his position.

In order that there could be no mis-
understanding of his position on the
part of the public, he authorized the
following statement:

“I do not believe in discussing mat-
ters of. this kind as a private citizen. I
do not care, however, to be misrepre-
sented. I will therefore say that ever
since the question of Hawaiian annex-
ation was presented I have been ut-
terly and constantly opposed to it.

“The first thing I did after my inau-
guration in March, 1893, was to recall
from the Federal Senate an annexation
treaty then pending before that body.
I regarded and still regard the pro-
posed annexation of these islands as
not only opposed to our national pol-
icy, but as a perversion of our national
mission. The mission of our nation is
to build up and make a greater coun-
try out of what we already have, in-
stead of annexing islands.

“In regard to the Cuban question my
position was fully made known to Con-
gress in the various messages in which
the subject: was discussed. I was op-
oppOSed to the recognition of the bel-
ligerency of the island, and my posi-
tion was perfectly well known. Indeed,
so very unmistakable were my Views
on the subject that I was time and
again threatened by frenzied men and
women with dire calamities to be vis-
ited upon myself and children because
of what they saw fit to assert as my
enmity'to the Cuban cause.

“My position on all the questions was
made perfectly clear in the official doc—
uments of the time, and there can be
no possible mistanke

“It is very difficult for me to under-
stand Senator Morgan’s evidently
wrong impressions in regard to my po—
sition. Indeed, it is one of the strang-
est things of these strangest times that
my position in these matters should be
called in question.”

 

‘ Dole’s Reception in Washington.

Washington, Jan. 25. ——President Dole
is expected here to- mbrrow, and all ar—
rangements for his reception have been
completed. He will stop at the Arling-
ton Hotel, and will be escorted from
the depot by a. detachment of United
States troops from Fort Meyer. Satur-
day night the Hawaiian President will
he the guest at the White House of
i"resident and Mrs. McKinley. The fu-
vure plans of the Hawaiian ruler are
1 ct known, but if the vote in the Sen-
; re is long delayed, it is not thought
‘ a will remain in Vlashington until ac-
1:011 is bad. . . .

MONETARY COMMISSIONERS.

The National Convention of. Currency

Reformers to Meet in Indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Jan. 25.—The Monetary
Convention will be called to order at
the Grand Opera House' to-day by
Hugh H. Hanna, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee. Gov. Leslie M.
Shaw, of Iowa, will be permanent chair-
inan.

A large number of delegates from the
lea ding commercial boards of trade and
of commercial clubs of the United
dates have arrived and the attendance
is far in excess of the meeting of busi—
ness men- which considered the mone-

question at Indianapolis last Jan-

 

the main work which will come up‘

re this convention is the considera-

. ;1 1 f the report of the monetary com-

. 9:011 which was appointed last Sep-

" lei and which held a. meeting in
1 :...ington in January. -

'lhe commission met at the Arling-
:< 11 Hotel on January 3 and submitted
:1 Expert to the Executive Committee of
315- Monetary Convention, who had full
rower to receivethe report, present it
to Congress and endeavor to secure the
adoption of the plan of currency reform
\ hich it embodied. The report as a

 

 

common SHAW.

whole was signed by all the members
of the commission except Louis A. Gar-
nett, who did not accept the provision
relating to metallic currency and cer—
tificates issued thereon, and Prof.
Laughlin, who disapproved of empow—
ering the Secretary of the Treasury to
issue United States notes in the pur-
chase of bonds.

The report of the commission will be
thoroughly discussed at this conven-
It demands the preservation of
the present gold standard and all obli-
gations for the payment- of money to be
in conformity with this standard. It
advises the dis<-onti11uance of the coin-
age of silver dollars except for subsid-
iary purposes. The commission pro-
poses a department of issue and re-
demption to be a. part of the United
States T1 easu1y, which shall have
cha1ge of the issue and redemption of
notes, certificates and banknotes and
the exchange of coin.

The results of the monetary conven—
tion now here in session will be re-
ceived with considerable interest by the
Banking Committee of the House of
Representatives, as that body in De-
cember decided to postpone the con-
siderationof legislation until the re-
port of the Monetary Commission was
received.

 

Reciprocity With Cuba.

Washington, Jan. 25.—Minister Dupuy
de Lome has received advices that the
Cuban Cabinet, after several days’ de-
liberation, has decided to appoint a
delegate to the United States for the
purpose of negotiating a. new commer—
cial treaty in accordance with the re-
ciprocity feature of the Dingley Tariff
law. The delegatewill come to the Unit-
ed States within a. few days, and the
details of the negotiations will be car-
ried on with Special Reciprocity Com-
missioner Kasson. It is hoped that a
successful issue of the contemplated
negotiations will have an important
bearing in the direction of a compro-
mise between the insurgents and the
Spanish Government.

Talmage’s Associate Resigns His Place.

Washington, Jan. 25.—Almost simul-
taneously with the announcement of
the marriage of the Rev. T. DeWitt
Talmage to his third wife—in fact, on
the very day that the marriage of the
prominent divine was made public——
Dr. Byron Sunderland, who is associ-
ated with Dr. Talmage in the pastor-
ate of the First Presbyterian Church
of this city, announced his intention to
resign his charge. As Dr. Sunderland
has been connected with the church
for over forty years and is greatly be-
loved by his congregation, his proposed
resignation, which he made known
from the pulpit, caused great surprise
and much comment.

Roberts for Director of Mint.

Washington, Jan. 25.—George, E. Rob.
erts, of Iowa, was nominated by the
President yesterday to be Director of
the Mint, vice R. E. Preston, resigned.
This appointment was determined so
suddenly that it surprised the Iowa
Senators. While everything is satis—
factory as to Mr. Roberts’s ability,
there is considerable gossip over the re-
moval of Mr. Preston. It is said that
if a place can be provided for the ex-
Director he' will be appointed in a su-
bordinate capacity. Preston has been
in the service for more than twenty-five
years.

Appointed Commissioner of Patents.

Washington, Jan. 25.—The President
has decided to give the place of Com-
missioner of Patents, left vacant by
the death of Benjamin Butterworth,
of Ohio, to New York. Charles H.
Duell, of Syracuse, is the successful
man, and his appointment was made

yesterday. Mr. Duell is a well-
known patent attorney, his fath-
er having been Commissioner of

Patents in the early seventies. Be-
fore Major Butterworth was appointed
Mr. Duell was strongly pressed for the
place.

Germany’s Policy in China.

Berlin, Germany, Jan. 25.—,—The fol-
lowing semi-ojcial announcement was
made yesterday:
garding Germany’s intention to open
the port of Kiao-Chou to the commerce
of the" world are practically correct.
Germany desires that its policy in

China should be of a. liberal character,
not interfering with the commerce of
other nations”:
