CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION.

eral parties in the house OF representa.
tives OF the Eifty-third congress has
not been materially changed
from the estimate sen,
out by the United Press
pected gains of republican congress-
men in Ohio have not been fully roal-
lied and the result in Illinois gives tho
democrats n greater number than
was estimated. But these have
been offset by increased gains
in Iowa and Massachusetts, in
each OF which states the republicans
will have five more members than in
the present house The totals, from
present indications are as follows:
Democrats 2l9, republicans 127, Farm.
ers' alliance and silveritcs %. The
doubtful districts arc more likely to
increase the democratic vote than
otherwise.
In the senate the democrats will
gain senators from New York, Wiscon-
sin and Wyoming, giving them forty.
two. Nevada will return Senator Stew
art, who has separated from the repub-
lican party and who will represent fret
of all free coinage of silver. North
Dakota will probably send a Farmers
alliance senator, and the managers OF
the party also claim senators from Ne.
braska and Kansas. The balance OF
power seems to be firmly held in the
grasp of the third party.

A Protectorate Possible.

ing from Washington:
Advices from San Francisco giving
the latest new about the situation ia
the Hawaiin islands formed one OF the
topics of discussion at yesterdays
cabinet meeting. The turning down
OF the cabinet for the third time
and the other particulars given in the
dispatches have been confirmed Off.
cially by wire from San Francisco
The announcement that Paul New
man, formerly encouragement of the
queens cabinet, is cnroute to Wash
ington on a secret mission for the
queen is not n surprise TO tho state de-
partment. The department not only
knows he is coming, but also what ho
is coming for. IL was probably
in anticipation of his visit that
Hawaiian affairs were discussed Mt the
cabinet meeting yesterday. 1t is we'll
known TO naval officers here who have
n personal acquaintance with Mr..
Newman hat he Is strongly in favor
of the United States assuming n pro-
tectorate over the Hawaiian is
lands and there can be no
doubt that the object of his mission
here at the present time is to bring
nbout such a result There is every
reason to believe too that he will be
met more than half way by our state
department. An official of that de-
partment made the statement yester-
day that one of the most important
acts of the closing days of the present
administration would be the establish
lnent OF a protectorate over the lIa.
waiian islands.

TROUBLE IN HONOLULU
"A Strong 0Iigarcby Trying To Control q
Government.


Government.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IA letter
FROM Honolulu of October 81, says: Bush
ness is at a standstill, the government
Is aluiost bankrupt, tho government en-
ployes have not been paid for tho
last month, tho appropriation bill Ia
not through the second reading and tho
queen and the legislature arc ut log
gerheads. That is the situation as the
Gaelic leaves this evening. The queen
insists on the appointment OF her own
cabinet The last cabinet, consisting
Of Cornwall. Gu,ick, Creighton and
Nawahi, was removed in just two
hours and twenty minutes after 1t was
announced. The opposition will not
allow an enabling act passed to pay
current expenses The opposition, COM
posed OF at lenst twenty-six members,
will recognize no cabinet that Is not
formed by one of the majority, and,
furthermore, any cabinet formed must
first be submitted to the members OF
the opposition for approval. This
means that all matters are to bc at a
standstill until the queen accedes to
the principle laid down by tho opposi-
ton.
Personally the members OF the oppo-
sition are distasteful to tho queen. She
Is reported to have said that before
she would acknowledge this principle
she would cede the Kingdom to the
United States. 1t is asserted that III
tho opposition continues TO hinder
business in the house the Legislature
will be p%rorogued and tho constitution
prolonged. Under a new constitution
allowing universal suffrage the queen
would receive an overw helming In.
dorsement. The opposition is COM
posed Of the loading men in the king
dom. and the action Of the queen Is
roundiy denounced by them On the
other hand the ministerial party as
serts that the opposition proposes TO
rule or ruin. There is an undercurrent
of bad feeling The government has
been buying arms and powder. 1t Is
also said that tho opposition has
200, 600 rounds of ammunition. vii.
och, the agitator. and Bush are active
supporters OF the opposition. The sol
diers from the war ships today pa.
raded in full force, with field pieces
and machine guns-a rather ostenta-
tious display. 1t is hardly possible
That either party win overstcp consti.
tutiopal grounds, but 1t can not be de-
MED that the feeling oil both sides is
bitter. Paul Newman, formerly attor
ney-general, has left for Washington
on a secret mission, supposed to be In

II Was "a Tariff Reform Victory,

WASHINGTON, Nov 10. Secretary oil
State Foster attributes the republican
defeat to the tariff issue. The party
he says, challenged the judgment OF
the country on the Mckinley bill and
the verdict must be accepted as the
viii of the people that q different pol.
icy should be adopted. Other ques-
tons entered somewhat into the con-
test, but not to such an extent as TO
materially affect the result. Nor
would it have been different il other
candidates had been selected or other
leaders had managed the campaign.
No administration ever went before
the country with n cleaner record. 1t
is the policy, not the personnel of the
administration that has been con.
dcmned In this view the secretary
was gratiic d that Cleveland was likely
to be sustained by n party majority in
both branches of congress, SO that the
new policy will have a fair trial.
