The House Foreign Affairs Committee

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-The House Com

considered the resolutions introduced by
Hit and B0uteile relative to the Hawaiian
policy OF the administration and decided
TO report substitute. which. when re-
ported ty Chairman McCreary of the COM
mttee. caused scene in the House. Only
three Republican members of the commit
tee were present and the meeting was not
marked by any lively demonstration. Fol-
lowing is the substitute for Eitts and Bou-
telle's resolutions:
WHEREAS, 1t appears from the execu-
tive communications sent to the House of
Representatives that the United States
Minister and United States naval force at
Hon exceeded their authority in
January, 1893. and illegally aided In over

Hawaii and setting up in its place ProvI-

Nevertheless, the Business Men of

Up in 1t.

DENVER, Dec. 21.-Six hundred dele
gates. representing nearly every munich
pality in the State. attended the business
mems convention to-day. Governor
Waite, who was present by invitation,
promised to give careful consideration to
any reasons the convention might advance
against the calling of the Legsla in
special session, as proposed by him.

Resolutions were adopted denying that
sufficient reasons existed for calling an
extra session of the Legislature, and de-
claring that such a course would do the
State more harm than good. The resolu-
tions also recited that Colorado had almost
entirely recovered from the effect of the
panic, and while the State had been
grievously wounded by the demonetiz
of silver her other resources, such as gold.
coal and agriculture, were developing
wonderfully.

England Must Still Help to Support
the German Duke.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-In the House of Com
mons tonight Gladstone announced that
the Duke of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha. the Duke
of Edinburgh, had renounced the English
annuity of 915,000 conferred upon him by
the act of 1866, and retained the annuity of
e10, 900 conferred upon him on his mar
riage in 1873. The announcement was
greeted with loud cries of "OhW Con-
tinuiDg. Gladstone said the Duke maintains
his domestic connection with the English
royal family, and would stay in England
three mouths of each year, therefore the
Government would accept the renounce-
meut of the el5.000 conferred upon him in
1866. and the House of Lords would decide
whether the Duke would retain his seat in
that house.
Labouchere asked whether opportunity
would be given to discuss the Dukes re-
tention of the $4,000 yearly, but Glad
stone declined to grant such opportunity.
and Labouchere asked leave to move an
adjournment. The motion was rejected by
vote of 1T to So.

Consul General Mills paid a visit to the

on board about half an hour. He then re-

here as Minister Willis messenger-boy.
and he probably carried the dispatches to
the officers for translation.
At the meeting of the Executive and
Advisory Councils this afternoon at 2
o'clock. the question was asked direct by
Councilman Cecil Brown of President
Dole:
Has the Government received any ad-
vices or dispatches by the Corwin?"
1T has not" answered the President.
HAS the Government received any Off
cial communication from the American
Minister since the arrival of the Corwin ?"
was again asked.
'It has not. None whatever" replied
the President.
The weekly financial statement pre-
sented by Minister Damon showed an in
crease of S35 600 over last week.
At noon it was reported from royalist
sources that Admiral Irwin and his staff
were to report to Minister Willis at 3
o'clock. At that hour Admiral Irwin and
his staff were at the American Legation.
This shows that the rOyallsts have now
better sources of information than the
Provisional Government people, and peo-
pie are asking why is this SO?
The British Minister has paid two visits
to the cruiser Champion to-day, and it is
evident that something is up.
Prior to the arrival of the Corwin and
the sudden return OF the Champion there
was little news of note. Several royalists
have been removed from Office, especially

EXCITEMENT AT HONOLULU.
All Business Suspended Pending
Some Kind of Settlement.

Several passengers who arrived on the
steamer Mariposa yesterday were inter

the situation In the islands. Most of them
at the hotels were residents of Australia.
who went ashore while the steamer
stopped at Honolulu.
The first thing that was noticeable on
getting ashore and trying to find news was
the difficulty of doing so. Everybody seems
to know everything, ana yet nobody seems
10 know anything. Rumors of the widest
nature are floating around and obtain
credence for only few hours. when some
thing else bobs up to take off the interest.
One day the principal item was a story
to the effect that Queen Liluokalani had
gone insane. ana the same day people were
told that President Dole was dying, Those
are the kind of facts the people have to
put up with. and when reliable news does
come it Is great relief.
Mr.. Schaffer. who was ashore most of the
time the steamer lay at Honolulu, saws the
people seem to be crazy with excitement
and the dreadful uncertainty. They don't
know what day will bring In the way of
a surprise and are ready to believe any,
thing.
Another thing noticeable is the firmness
of the Provisional Government It's safe
to say every man connected with il would
fight before he would allow the Queen 10
be put back on the throne. Business is
only a word, and the wonder is how peo-
pie exist. There is no work OF any kind
going on, and the stores only open their
doors in the morning and close them again

PERNAMBUCo, Dec. 21.-There is great

report that the Republica. the most formi-
dable ship in the Brazilian insurgent feet,
accompanied by the AQuidaban. has been
sighted heading noTthward. apparently for
this port. As the Nlctheroy sailed south

off this harbor fierce naval battle between
the Government and the revolutionary
warships seems imminent
NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Word was re-
ceived here to-day that the Pirsting. in
tow of the Santuit, had arrived at Saint
Pierre. Martinique, in a disabled cOndi-
ti0n. Her super structure had been badly
damaged and her rudder carried away.
She will proceed to Brazil as soon as re-
pairs are made. There are rumors of an
intent on the part of Flint & Co. to fit out
otner vessels here for Brazil, but so far
nothing has been done in the matter.
The Herald's st. Thomas special says:
The Brazilian submarine torpedo-boat
Pirsting, which arrived at Martinique in
tow of the Santuit yesterday. sailed for
Brazil in tow of her escort to-day. This is
the last of the Brazilian feet expected on
this coast.
The Worlds Pernambuco special says
Sixty NictherOy sailors Will return to
New York by the steamer Hersehel. which
sailed on Saturday. Forty-five were dis
charged for bad conduct. They got drunk
and assaulted Lieutenant Hill, and this is
all there was in the mutiny story that has
| obtained currency. Lieutenant Hill was
not hurt. American Consul Burke, being
requested by the World correspondent to
make a statement concerning the mutiny
story. wrote as follows:
"As far as l am able to learn the story
of mutiny on board the Nichtheroy Is un-
founded. DAVID n. BURKE,

STRIKES AT ALL INDUSTRIES.
Both the Farmer and the Miner
Are Injured.
A PRIVILEGED CLASS.
The Burden of Taxation Transferred
From Foreigners to the People
of America.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 81. - The report
OF the minority members of the Ways and
Means Committee was submitted to the
House this af ernoOn. That portion of the
report discussing the Wilson bill generally
was prepared by Reed. and the other men,
bers OF the minority, Burrows, Payne,
Dalzell. Hopkins and Gear, prepared those
portions dealing with special features.
The report says:
The most surprising thing about this bill
is the fact that it is proposition to raise
the revenues of 1893. which were only
S2,O00.OO0 above the expenses. This fact
and the fact that by this bill the larger part
OF the burden of taxation is rausferred
from foreigners and brought to our own
citizens should always be kept in mind.
Had the committee followed the uncom-
promising declaration of the party and
abolished protection. giving US tariff for
revenue only. our task in commenting upon
the results of the majority of the commit
tees efforts would have been much more
simple. So far. however. have the major
lty departed from the demands of their
national convention that we would be
much tempted to borrow a phrase from
their own platform and designate the bill
result is already too serious for mere
epithets.
The majority of the committee have pre-
sented another tinkering tariff bill. the
like of which has disturbed business SO
many times in the last thirty years. Had
the bill been for revenue only the people
OF the country might have seen at glance
whether they desired one policy or the
0t tho
settled once for all and the country have
attained that repose and stability on
which our prosperity so much depends.
Going into the details of the bill the
minority says: Although lumber passes
through the same Splant as boards the
workmen who manage saws are unpro-
tected, while w0rkmen who run planes are
shielded by protective tariff taxes. The
new plan also involves a method OF en-
couraging manufactures by giving them
what is called free raw materials" so
that what goes into the mill pays no taxes
and what goes into consumption pays all
the taxes. Unfortunately it happens also
that free raw material is another mans
finished produtc.
This bill pretends TO be revenue tariff,
and does not raise revenue; it pretends to
s''o PIo'oSsions oue uoobIoSS ID IN every
way. Ii says to the manufacturer, for you
we furnish free coal, free iron-ore, free
wool and the markets of the world. In
stead, 1t furnishes new crop of enemies
TO the men who dig in mines and raise
sheep. TOR it really creates what its ene-
mics falsely charge against Republican
protection "a privileged class against
which the miners and farmers will both
array themselves, and that privileged class
does not care TO be privileged. What exac.
effect the proposed duties would have on
the general rate of wages of the country
can only be determined by actual test, but
it is not difficult to see that it will be very
depressing.
An ad valorem duty. it prices could be
exactly determined, would be the fairest,

Two Political Meetings in New York
That May Have Significant
Results

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.-Cooper Union was
crowded tonight at the meeting of the
New York State Democracy to perfect
plans for the overthrow of Tammany. Ex-
Secretary Fairchild was chosen chairman.
Resolutions were passed authorizing Chair
man Fairchild to appoint an executive
committee, not exceeding 100. which shall
constitute the general committee of the
new movement. The committee will be
charged with perfecting the organization
in this county of the State Democracy and
shall strengthen and pOpularize the Demo
cratic party throughout the State. Speeches
were made by John w. Coff, Theodore
Sutro and Augustus A. Healy.
Representatives of Tammany Hall NJ ct
tonight and fixed December so as the date
for holding the primaries. The new gen.
eral committee will meet on January IL,
when the new organization committee
will be formed. This resolution, offered
by Croker. was passed unanimously:
ReS0Ired, That the severe depression
now existing in business and labor circles
presents a condition which demands the
prompt determination by Congress of such
changes in the tariff taxes as are con-
templated. The prevailing doubt and un-
certainty as TO the outcome of such tariff
legislation should not be permitted to fur
ther harass business ventures to the great
injury and suffering of both employer and
workingman. The imperative duty of the
national Legislature is to afford without
delay all possible relief to the vast and
increasing number OF those who, willing
to work. are denied employment by reason
OF the hazardous conditions now affecting
the investment of capital in and the prose-
cution of business enterprises

and the spirit of our constitution, and
should be and is emphatically condemned.
Representative Storer of the committee
offered substitute for the resolution
adopted by the majority which was re-
jected, and which Storer wished to SUBJ
stitute as a minority report. Following is
the resolution, which embodies the votes
of the minority:
WHEREAS, Executive communications
to Congress disclose that the Executive De-
partment has been furnishing to Minis
ter Plenipotentiary Of the United States
secret Instructions to conspire with repre-
sentatives and agents of deposed
and discarded monarchy for the over
throw of a friendly republican Gov
ernment. duly recognized by all civilized
nations to which said Minister is accred-
tied. and to which his public instructions
pledged the good faith and sympathy of
the President. the Government and people
of the United States
ReSOtUed. 1t is the sense of this House
that any such Intervention by the execu-
tive of the United States, its civil or mill
tary representatives or officers, without
the authority of Congress. is dangerous,
unwarranted and an invasion of the rights
and dignities of the Congress of the
United States. is in violation OF the law Of
nations; and further, that the manner of
such attempted Intervention by the execu-
tive and the methods used are unworthy
Of the Executive Department of the
United States. while the confessed intent
of such Intervention is contrary to the
policy and traditions of the republic and
the spirit of the constitution,
