WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 5.-The
state department received no advices
from Hawaii by barkentine Klicklai
which arrived at Port Townsend
yesterday. They are inclined to ques-
ton the accuracy of the purported inter

so.
LONDON, Dec. Sin connection
with the arrest of the man at Hamp-
stead yesterday, the Police searched

ed fuse and all apparatus necessary for
an explosion and that it would have
had terribly destructive effect. The
police expect to make large number
of arrests in connection with the affair,

genuine plot.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The general
drift of opinion upon democratic mem
bers OF the house seems to be that the
tariff bill must be passed and as speedily
as possible. There are some who say
they will make the attempt to have it
modified ia certain points in interest Of
their constituents, but failing in that,
will vote for the bill. 1t is understood
to be the intention not to allow much
time for debate even if cloture has to
be applied, with the object of getting
the measure before the senate as quickly
as possible.
IN THE HOSE.
The house met with but light attend
ance below and aloft. Twenty-thousand
copies of the presidents message we're
ordered printed. After the morning
hour the senate took up the Hawaiian
question and Dolph spoke against the
presidents proposed action.
At i: 40 on motion of Oates, the house
went into committee on the whole on
the bankruptcy bill

Dolph presented a petition from the

ing $4,000 for the employment OF ad-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Views of the
members OF both houses concerning the
presidents message are very freely ex-
pressed. Ex-Speaker Reed said:
ut Is exceedingly disappointing, both
in matter and manner. On the Hawaiian
question We are left as much in the
dark as ever and must wait for the news
on the next steamer, just as we have
been waiting so long.
THAT part of the message which re
lates to the tariff asserts that the house
in charge of the subject has
formulated plans and devised methods
OF taxation, which, as member of that
have not even heard pro-
posed. 1t is rather an unusual sensation
to learn of a committee, not in the COM
mittee room but from the president of
the United States. Has that committee
ceased in form to be composed of both
parties, and has il, without even the for
nality of word IN open commit tee, in
formed the president of its determine
ion in such u way that the president
IAN officially communicate 1t to the
house?
''How long has it been a part that a
,ommittee-aD above all, a committee
which controls the purse-shall report
% congress through the president? Is
his result, rumored, a blending of the
lppointive with legislative power?
at is bad enough to have the tariff
ill nads up by little coterie; but to
lave it communicated to the president
before it reaches even the committee.
