The Deadlock Over Séigniorage Has at Last Been Broken. Representatives Failto Keep Up the Filt- buster Against Mr. Bland—Senator .Frye Makes a. Long Speech on the Subj ect'of Hawaii. ' ‘l WASHINGTON, March 1.—-After the‘openi ingot the session Mr. Geissenhainer (Dem., N. J.) tried to secure unanimous consent for consideration of the bill making an ap. propriation to save the armament of the wrecked Kearsarge. But Mr. Bland de- manded the regular order. Mr. Geissenhainer is one of the Demo- crats who. have refused to vote on Mr. Bland’s motion. ‘ After the calls of committees for reports Mr. Kilgore (Denn, Tex.) presented the fol- lowing resolution as. a question of privi- ege: Whereas, The laws of the United States, sec- tion 40. chapter 4. ol the revised statutes pm vide that when any member of the house of representatives shall be absent for any cause except that of sickness of himself or his family it shall be the duty of the sergeant-acorns to deduct from the monthly salary the amount dug him each day he is absent from such cause, an ' Whereas, During the present session many members have been absent. as appears from the record, for causes other than those named in the statute: therefore be it . . Resolved, That the sergeant-at-armsbe re- quiredto report to this house without delay the names of such absentecs. and whether or not the law in such cases made and provided has been by him complied with. and that if it has not been complied with to report his rea- sons why he has been derelict in his duty in that regard, and if in his judgment the law cannot be complied with that he be required to give his reasons why it cannot be enforced. Mr. Reed made the point of order that the resolution was not privileged. “It is not a question of privilege,” said he sar- casticaliy, f‘to ask the sergeant-staring mit that the temptation to take advice from anybody in the present emergency is great, but I don’t think we should public- ly acknowledge that we are driven to such straits.” _ . Mr. Kilgore said this was not a matter to be jeered at, and Mr. Sickles (N. Y.) suggested that the resolution should go to the committee on grievances. The speaker decided that the resolution as drawn was not privileged, but if it con. tained an allegation to the effect that an officer of the house had been derilict in his duty it would be clearly of that character. Accordingly Mr. Kilgore withdrew it to make the change suggested. ' Selgniorage Again. Thereupon Mr. Bland moved that the. house go into committee of the whole for consideration of the seigniorage bill, and pending that that general debate close at 3 o’clock tomorrow. On the latter motion he demanded the previous question. The vote was the sig- nal fora break in the New York delega- tion, Messrs. Cummings, Clancey and Magner declining longer to give counte- nance to the filibuster of their colleagues by not voting. During the progress of the roll call Mr. Johnson (Dem., 0.) rose to a point of or- der. He called attention to the fact that the rules required members to vote and that the member whose name the clerk had just called (Mr. Bingham) had refused to answer to his name. The speaker said the roll call could not be interrupted. Mr. Johnson then reserved the point of orderLand the roll call pro- ceeded. _ At its conclusion Mr. Livingston (Ga) renewed the point of order made by Mr. Johnson and read rule 8, which is as fol— lows: “Every member shall be present within the hall of the house during its sitting un- less excused or necessarily prevented and shall vote on each question put unless on motion made by division or the commence- ment of roll call he shall be excused, or unless he has a direct personal or primary interest in the event of such question.” Under that rule he demanded that Mr. Tracey, who had refused to vote, be held in contempt of the house. Mr. Johnson said he had a list of 25 members who had vice lated the rnlc. The deadlock in the house wins finally‘ broken and a quorum secured on the Bland seigniorage bill proposition. In the Senate. ' In the senate today Mr. Vcorhees (Dem., Ind.) offered a resolution appointing Sen- ator Mills to the finance committee in place of Senator Vance. Mr. Hoar object- ed to its immediate consideration, and un- der the rules it went over until tomorrow. Immediately after the reading of the journal Mr. Frye (Rep, Me.) addressed the senate on the Hawaiian testimony taken before the senate com mittee on foreign re- lations. He said that events had been re- cently enacted in the Hawaiian Islands in which the American people were deeply in- terested, and which :were humiliating to this country. The relations between the islands and the United States were peculiar. He sketched the civilization of the is- and women had played in their evangeliza— American men and women had sought to penetrate the dark cloud of the barbarism and paganism which hung over them, and they had reaped .a rich harvest by. their missionary work. The chiefs of royal .blood had died out in After that for a time there was peace on the islands. But he named his sister Lil- iuokalaui as successor to the throne, and she immediately. began scheming for the overthrow of her brother. She was unsuc- cessful, but death made her ruler of Ha- tvaii. The Louisiana lottery to get a foothold in Hawaii offered the queen $500,000 and an annuity if she would get the company established on theislands. She yielded to the temptation and made every efiort to this end. Her constitutional power was not sufficient to accomplish this while the legislature was opposed to it, so she endea- vored to‘ assume absolute power by over- throwing the constitution. . Maddened by her success, Liliuokalaui took the final step which forever ended the monarchy on the islands, said Mr. Frye. She undertook to promulgate a new con- stitution,» taking from the people the right of suffrage, depriving the White men of their property and reducing the best men‘ and women in the islands to abject slavery.

Owen Re- lated to a Blade Rep- 1 ' resentative. ‘ Most Excruclating Pain Endured-- Physicians Helpless-.—A Remark- able and interesting Narrative. [From the Toledo, 0., Blade 1 During the past few months there have appeared in the newspapers of the . country accounts of marvelous cures from the use of a medicine dis- covered by Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y., and known as Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. ‘ These cases, many of them held by the medical profession asiucurable, have been so frequently discussed in the newspapers that it has led to many people using this preparation, and they invariably have had a similar statement to make. Many of these people have been told by their attending physwian that “ there was no'hope; recovery was impossible,” and a little later was an- nounced their restoration .to health and Remedy. Recently the following letter from a well-known citizen of East To- ledo attracted the attention of the Blade: "No. 428 Euclid Ave., East Toledo, 0., Dr. David Kennedy, Dear Sin—I feel it a duty to write you_of the bene- fit your medicine, Favorite Remedy, has been to my wife and myself. I suf- fered for years with kidney trouble, complicated with gravel in the bladder, and gall stones; at times I endured the most excruciating pain, so bad that I would have to be carried home from help me in the least; I kept growing worse. Finally Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy was brought to _my notice. I used it regularly. and in a short time after that I was a well man; have never felta return of the old tron. bles since. My wife, who had been a sufi‘erer from sickness peculiar tcher Iex,found no relief from any medicine she had ever used, until she bevan the use of Favorite Remedy, and that cured her. I haven’ language to express the high esteem in which we hold Favorite Rem- edy; I have recommended it .to dozens of people about here, and in no 1n- stance has it failed to benefit and cure. Yours trul , . HENR C. OWEN. The above letter was so remarkable as to be worthy of the fullest investi- nmion, and the Blade determined to place the facts before the public for the benefit of other sufi'erers, and, 1f un- founded, to let their readers know it. With these instructions, a reporter was sent to the residence of Mr. Owen. In response to a ring of the door-bell, Mrs. Owen appeared. .When your re- porter made his missron known, she said she would gladly tell him about . the good Favorite Remedy has been to their family. “For yetirs Mr. Owen had been the victim of gall stones, complicated with kidney trouble and gravel in the bladder. 11 spite of the efforts of physicians, he did not 1m- prove. I, too, had suffered with sick- ness peculiar to women, and one day I clipped from a newspaper an article re- ferring to Dr. David Kennedy’s Favor- ite Remedy. I told my husband that I thought it would help my trouble, and we immediately bought a bottle. I did not take many doses before I noticed improvmnent, and 'then I suggested to my husband to try the remedy for his sickness. . He did so and felt the effects almost ltke magic. Mr. Owen continued to use FavoriteRemedy until he has be- come permanently cured.” Before go- ing into further detail, it might be well to give in Mr. Owen’s own words a statement as to what it did for him. Mr. Owen, who is a man about 42 years of age, with hair tinged with gray, was found at work as fore- man for the ,Chesborough Bros.’ Lumber Company, and in response to an in uirv as to the merits of Favorite Reine y and the genuineness; of the letter published, Mr. Owen said: .“I have not language to express the high esteem in which I hold Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. I suffered for years with kidney trouble and gall stones; at times I endured pains which sci-med almost unbearable. I used Various prescriptions, and like everyone who Is sick, took everything that my friends suggested. .At last my wife told me of the good Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Rem- edy had done her, and I concluded to try it. I used it and it cured me, and there is no mistake about that. I Can refer you to many of our neighbors who have used it with the same results. One young man, a friend of mine, had been sick for months, and was doctoriug with one of these $5 a week physmians. They did him no: good, and_I told him about Favorite Remedy. He had paid for a week’s treatment, but left them, and followed my directions. .I saw him afterwards and he was feeling better and thanked me for ‘my advrce.” “Mrs. Owen has a similar story to re- late. No human tongue can tell how she suffered, until she commenced to use Favorite Remedy. She had doc. tored with several physicians. and was about to give up in despair when this came to her relief. I am confident that if she had not taken Dr. Kennedy‘s Favorite Remedy, she would have been in her grave to-day.” . Mr. Owen has lived in Toledo, and has been the head man at Chcsbrough Bros. for years, and is prominently connected with the East Side M. ,E. Church. In communicating to the re. porter in reference to his trouble, Mr. Owen said further that the pun he had was of a boring, burning, lacerating character, and radiated through the abdomen and chest. He complained, when ill, of intense nausea accompany. ing the pain after repeated retchmg, Only some mucus acid and watery mat- ter were expelled from his stomach. The action of the heart was feeble, and the circulation was correspondingly depressed. “I am now,” said Mr. Owen, “a perfectly well man; If it had not been for Dr. David Kennedy’s Fav- ‘orite Remedy I don’t know'what-the present condition of Mrs. Owen and. myself would havebeen.” . . -'Mr. and Mrs. Owen’s friends and neighbors confirm the accounts of their sickness and theirremarkable re- covery, and it was, also found that there were many bther people in their, I’ Read thefGazurfrn; , I vicinity who, had been cured of various, strength through the use of Favorite . my business.
