WANT a Special REARING.


The Commercial Club Of Birmingham,
Ala, Wants tO Present its RePresentA-
tivss to the Ways and Means Commit
tee.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November Is
The iron and coal men of Alabama will
not be accorded formal hearing by
the Ways aud Means Committee. For
a sweek OF two past Congressman
Wheeler, Senator Pugh and others have
been interviewing members Of the Ways
and Means Committee with view of
having hearing accorded to the rep
resentatiVes of the Commercial Club Of
Birmingham, who desired TO protest
against the proposition now pending In
the committee to place iron ore and coal
on the free list.
At recent meeting of the CONNER
eial Club Of Birmingham, which is COM
posed Of capitalists and manufacturers
OF that city, resolutions were adopted
calling upon the Alabama Senators and
Represen tatives in Congress 10 vote
against any bill reported by the Ways
and Means Committee TO place iron ore
and coal on the free list. Birmingham
is the greatest manufacturing city In
the new South. The stand taken by
these manufacturers is having consid
erable weight upon the Alabama mem
bers iu Congress. Congressman Wheel
er has had several conferences with
Chairman Wilson OF the Ways and
Means Committee and Senator Pugh
has been telegraphed by the CONNER
cial Club to request that a delegation
from that body be accorded hearing
before the Ways and Means Com
mittee on the 2lst Instant. But the
Alabamians will be disappointed, for
after consultation with other Demo-
cratic members Of the committee,
Chairman Wilson had declined TO ac-
cord any formal hearings TO the Birm-
ingham manufacturers, stating that
the committee has long ago closed its
public hearings and that now 10 make
an exception of the Commercial Club
of Birmingham would be to open the
way for numerous other gentlemen and
delegations which are demanding To be
heard in apprehension of the legislation
that may effect their interests. A
telegram to this effect has been sent by
Senator Pugh to Secretary Chappell
Cory, Of the Commercial Club. II the
delegation still persists in coming to
Washington they will have to content
themselves with informal interviews
with the various members of the
committee instead Of receiving a public
hearing.

Meet To-day TO Discuss Matters of I'm
Portanee.
WASHINGTON, d. c., November 10
The full Democratic membership of the
Ways and Means Committee has been
called TO meet tomorrow morning in
general conference, and IL is expected
the meeting will have the effect
Of clearing up the uncer-
tainty that has existed for some
time with reference TO several Of the
important schedules to the new tariff
bill. The members of the committee
who have been favoring the provision
for an income tax feel confident that the
result Of the series of conferences to be-
gin tomorrow will prove that the ma
iority of the committee favOTS such a
plan.
The iron, ore and coal schedules will
be discussed and the question OF placing
these two articles on the free list prob
ably finally settled in the atll rmative.
Tobacco, beer and whiSkey schedules
are also expected to be considered 10
full committe, aud there now appears
little doubt there will be mate
rial increase 10 tax on whisky
aud on other distillery outputs. The
proposition for increase of 35 cents a
gallon on whisky is now being informal
ly discussed, and some members Of the
committee even mention an increase as
high as go cents a gallon. The United
States Association Of Brewers have
fled with the committee a long argu-
ment Of the members showing why no
increase should De made in the present
internal revenue tax on beer.
Chairman Wilson to-day had under
consideration the question of the revi-
sion of the administrative act. Among
importers there is much complaint
against the classification clauses of this
measure aud committee Of New York
importers, consisting Of p. d. WOrrall
aud d. McKeever, presented their views
on the subject 10 Chairman Wilson and
the Treasury officials. 1t was suggest
ed, among other matters that the classi-
fcation question be taken out Of the
hands of the general appraisers, leay-
ing them to act as appraisers on ques-
tionS OF value only.

WASHINGTON, d. c., November 10
an official Of the administration who
knows all that has been done about
Hawaii and speaks by the card as TO
the sentiments and opinions Of those
who have brought about the changes
said TO an Associated Press reporter to-
day that "the action of the administra-
ton would 90 dowa in history as one
Of the glorious acts of the United
States, the righting of wrong
..But II this restoration OF tue Queen
has TO be maintained by force Of arm;
woulo 10 not subject the administration
TO severe criticism, even II the justice
Of the restoration had 20 be ackuOwl'
edged?"
That feature Of the affair / do not
feel az liberty 20 discuss, but there Is q
phase OF the letter which has not been
carefully anayzed, and when 10 Is the
public NAV look differently upon the
case. Now, how did the provisional
government come here and how was u
established? IL was founded for what
and for how long? Until such time as
the islands should be annexed 20 the
Tinted States. This government has
rejected the treaty of anueXatiOn-haS
refused 10 annex the islands, and the
provisional government has ended. lt
has been in existence until 10 had
found out that this government would
not annex the islands. The provisional
government mas no longer reasons for
existence when the declared purpose Of
its existence has been solved. Would
Il not fall? acknowledging 10 was de
factO government, when 10 was accom-
plished the object for which il was
creaaed, or as in this case found that
this object cannot be mplished, is
itoaot at an end?'
FThis statement is explanatory Of the
understanding that Minister Willis has
two sets Of credentials. one 20 the Pro-
vislonal government and the other TO
the Queen. The Provisional govern
ment is recognized until the treaty OF
annexation is rejected, when 10 is as
sumed it ceased TO exist and the Old
status must necessarily be resumed.
The Provisional government will have
no knowledge n the intentiOus of the
government until informed by Minister
Willis.
Although the State Department ex-
poets TO hear nothing from Hawaii until
Saturday. there is general expectancy
that everything is settled 10 the Islands.
Further than this il is believed that she
restoration Of the queen has been ac-
complished without bIOOdShed. There
has been some anxiety about the treat
meDt the people Instrumental 10 form
ing the provisional government would
receive az the hands of the queen when
she was restored. Its understood that
Minister Willis instructions provide
for their protection and that part OF
the arrangement is that the queen shall
grant amnesty 20 all who we're engaged
i'm her overthrow, and that this cOudi-
tion will be vigorously insisted upon.
The position of the Tinted States in
taking such a course is explained by the
statement that this government through
Minister Stevens led them into the re-
volt and is bound TO protect them 20 the
extent OF having the queen grant am
nesty when she assumes control Of the
government.

No One Has Any Definite Information,

Ground.
WASHINGTON, d. c., November Is
The chief interest in the Hawaiian sit
nation now surrounds the instructions
given to Minister Willis, and the con-
tents Of the cipher message which was
received after the arrival OF the steamer
China. While the same answer regard
ing instructions to foreign Ministers
is made at the State Department "such
instructions are never made pub
lie" yet it seems that from time
20 time something does come out,
Anumber Of people are now quite
familiar with some important features
OF the Instructions. There Is no doubt
of Minister Willis being instructed 70
make The restoration OF LIluO6alani
conditional upon full amnesty being
prauted 90 men who engaged in the
revolution and overthrow OF the Queen.
Minister Willis, it is understood, was
insist upon this, because the President
felt that the revolution would not have
occurred had it not been for the assist
ance and cooperation OF this Govern
ment through
THE LATE MINISTER STEVENS.
Mr.. Willis was instructed 10 say TO
these members Of the provisional gov
ernment that the President felt thar he
ought 20 protect them 20 this extent,
because he believed that had it not
been for the authority of the United
states, used by Minister Stevens, they
would never have been lead into the
revolution. The instructions, it is
thought, requested the Minister 20 first
,all upon the Queen and tell her the
President believed a great wrong had
been d5ne her, and after in-
iiSting upon amnesty, declare the
Intention 20 again place her in control
of the government. She was also 70 be
informed that it was the desire OF the
President that she should p.acate those
who had been instrumental in her over
throw and sustain herself ia authority
without the assistance Of the United
States. From the cipher despatch il is
believed that the State Department has
been informed that these conditions are
satisfactory to the Queen and had been
accepted by her az the time the
China sailed. To President Dole
