HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, May Is.


The house met at 1890 in the
continuance of Wednesdays session.
The speaker announced the ap-
pointment Of Culbereon, of Texas,
as member of the committee, to
investigate the alleged corroption
in the contested election Of Donnel-
ly against Washburn, in the place
of Mr.. Reagan Tex who resigns
ed. The house then went into
committee of the whole, Mr.. Cox,
Of New York, in the chair, on the
legislative, executive, and judicial
appropriation bills. Owing, per-
haps, to a small attendance of
members the reading Of the bill was
not interrupted until the clause was
read relating to the Office of
the commissioner of Internal
Revenue. At this point
Mr.. Dibrell (Tenn.) offered an
amendment providing that the salaa
ries of s'orekeepers and gaugers at
all distilleries that mash less than
sixty bushels of grain per day, shall
not exceed Fifty dollars u month
while the distiIleries are in opera
ton, and thirty Eve dollars per
month while not in operation; and
at all other distilleries storekeepers
aud gaugers shall not receive ex>
ceeding fifty dollars per month,
while distllleries are not in opera
ton.
Mr.. Baker (Ind) opposed the
amendment, asserting the effect of
it would be to injure the faithful
and honest administration of the
internal revenue service. The vote
on the amendment resulted, ayes
81, noes 32; and at this point no
quorum was raised by Mr.. Baker.
The call of the roll was then
ordered, which showed the presence
Of quorum. The question re-
Cured upon the amendment, which
Mr.. Garfield char acterized as the
''moonshine amendment" and it
was agreed to. ayes 81, noes 6S.
Pending further debate, the com>
mittee rose, and the session of
Wednesday having coming to a
close that of Thursday commenced.
Mr.. Herbert, of Alabama, asked
unanimous consent to take
from the speakers table senate
bilI,appropr;ating $4,000 for the
erection of a public building at Mont
gomery, Ala. A requestof this char
acter is very readily granted, when
it relates to bill Of this impor-
tance, and Mr.. Herbert felt much
complimented when his request was
granted and the bill passed,
At 3.15 the house went into COM
mittee of the whole on the Legislative
appropriation bill. After consider
ing the bill as far as the fourteenth
page without making any changes,
the committee rose and the house
took recess until 7.30, the evening
session to be devoted to the consid'
Grafton of reports from the commit
tee on Indian affairs.

Thomas r. Gould, the American sculptor ct Florence,
has exhibited ct Paris his bronze statue OF Ksmehsmeha,
the first King Of the Hawaiian Islands. It IL described a.
work of much merit which will literally sstonish the
natives Of Honolulu"
We clip the above from our exchanges, and
learn from private sdvices that Gen. Noyes the
American Minister has taken a great interest in
our statue. Artists Of Europe have admired the
magnificent physique Of the Hawaiian hero as
exhibited in bronze. French legislators and
statesmen. and foreign diplomats have conceived
a new interest in the little nation, which COM
memorates its progress by a noble work of art.
And people of Paris have now q better knowl-
edge of the Hawaiian Kingdom, derived from the
exhibition and discussion OF this statue, than had.
been obtained previously from histories and &C.
counts Of travellers.
We understand that the monument Committee
have given orders for the erection of q pedestal to
receive the statue, and as it is now on its way to
this country, the Hawaiian people will erelong
behold their great hero in everlasting bronze,
standing up in their midst, to illustrate Hawai-
ian courage and intelligence. and to inspire hope
in the perpetuity of Hawaiian Independence.

BURNING OF THE VICTORIA THEATRE. SYDNEY
About half past IL O'Clock on the night OF 22nd
July, dense volumes of smoke were seen issuing
from the centre of a block of buildings in Pitt
street near the corner of King street. The Victor
ia Theatre was on fire. In a short time the rear
part of the building was a dense mass of flames
which soon communicated to the entire structure.
The fire broke out shortly after the company had
left the building. When the fire brigades arrived
there was no water available. and it was an hour
before engines got to work. The company have
lost heavily. On the morning of the oath of July,
nothing but bare blackened walls, remained OF the
Victoria Theatre. The theatre was uninsured, and
Messrs. Bennett, JOsephson. and Moses are very
heavy losers by its destruction. The whole OF the
scenery. properties, library, wardrobe and theatre
cal effects were destroyed. together with a lot of
Photographic fittings and apparatus of Mr.. Cane. car
rying on business in the We stibule of the theatre.
The loss is estimated at Gl2. 900. The Royal Ho-
tel was in imminent danger at one time. The
foundation of the old +" Vic. " as it was affection
ately termed by its frequenters. was laid with
Masonic honors on September 7th. 1886. 1t was
opened on March Goth. 1888, the piece produced
being Othello. the last piece performed was on
July 23rd. 1880. being Josh the Yankee.

great drawback, and that is the deficiency OF
labor. However, relief is perhaps near at hand
in this matter. The Government has now four
ventures out for immigrants and laborers, which
are expected to bring US, say 500 Portuguese
and 500 or 600 Pacific islanders in a few months;
and it is estimated that the appropriation Tor
immigration, ought to enable the Government to
add, 1000 more people of the laboring class to
our plantations and our population during the
biennial period. Our three immigrant cruisers
may be delayed or not be as speedily successful
as expected. But we are assured, that the Gov
eminent will devote a faithful attention to the
great measure of immigration and will see to
it, that Hawaiian good faith and name be main
tanned among Southern and Western Pacific
Islands; and will conduct Polynesian or other
immigration in a way. that will command the
approval of enlightened maritime states.

Our immigration Field.

Apropos of the New Hebrides and Solomon
Islands native labour, towards which field the
Pomare has been dispatched by our Board of
immigration, it may be interesting to our readers
to note the undoubted fact that this field is, to
say the least. at present somewhat overworked.
In our FIJI exchanges, We discover up to 28th
July last, no less than fourteen vessels under
British Government regulation. each carrying a
certified agent. under sailing orders for New
Hebrides and Solomon Isles. in quest of these
I" woolly heads"
Again, no fewer than seven full-sized craft are
stated to be about among those islands recruit
ing nor is there a nook or corner unworked
whence recruits could be drawn.
On the other hand, not one vessel is on the
berth for the other isles of the Kingsmill and
Gilbert groups, from where our full supply of
the past season has been obtained. The want of
success in the latter groups of the FIJI vessels is
attributable to the popularity of the Hawaiian
service, and the presence in those waters of our
cruisers.
Messrs. Godefroy and Son, of Samoa, have
fitted out the steamer Sndsee and four other
vessels. with the view of opposing more success
fully the Hawaiian service, and this enterprising
firm has also several craft (their own property
and chartered) cruising for labour among the
Solomon. New Britain, and New Hebrides
groups.
return of the POmare from that far-off region
with anything like a full load of people is, to say
the least, p~roblemstieal.
