AUCKLAND, n. T.. Dec. 9-The steamer
Nonuwai has arrived here. She left Hon
elulu on Novem Der "a. Ali was quiet there.
The news that President Cleveland in
tended to restore the Queen caused great
excitement. It was discussed by excited
knots of people on the streets and was gen.
orally condemned.
A rumor was published in the Honolulu
papers that the Queen was not willing to
accept a restoration unless assured of the
armed support of the United States.
The Hawaiian Gazette of November "a
says: ''1n the meantime the monarchy is
not restored, and will not be unless by
armed forces of the United States. whose
forces must then continue to support the
ox-Queen.
There may be small differences in the
ranks of the party of reform, but we are
to-day more united and determined on the
main issue than ever before. Let every
reformer put aside all other and minor
things"

THEY Do NOT COUNT.
Republicans to Be Given No Time
to Consider the Tariff.
Wilson Will Report His Bill at
Once and Try to Rush 1t
Through.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Chairman Will
son hopes to report the tariff bill within
three days from the time il is presented
and considered by the full committee on
next Monday, and the ten days asked for
by the Republicans in case the bill be re-
ported during recess will not now be
granted. Wilson even hopes to secure the
consideration of the bill before the holiday
recess. The internal revenue bill will
probably be reported as a separate meas
ure. The Presidents recommendation Of
tax on corporate incomes is not salts
factory to many Democrats, who claim
that such tax would increase the rate of
interest and the rates charged by common
carriers.
The Democratic members OF the Ways
and Means Committee have changed the
tin-plate schedule of the tariff bill from an
ad valorem to a specific duty. fixing the
rate at ! 1-5 cents per pound, or l cent
lower than the present tariff.
Minister Zeballos of the Argentine Re-
public has informed Secretary Gresham
that the Argentine Government is hopeful
that the present tariff law may be changed
so as 10 permit greater commercial inter-
course between that country and this.
Argentine wools have heretofore been
absorbed by France and England, the
trade amounting to S90. .O00, 900 annually.

PEACE AND QUIET.
A Honolulu Merchant Says There
Will Be No Bioodshed.

On board the schooner Transit, which
arrived from Honolulu yesterday, was T.
w. Robinson. for several years a merchant
at Honolulu. In speaking of the situation
in Honolulu when the Transit left Mr..
Robinson said: 1.-The idea of there being
any danger of the kanakas making
fight for the restoration of the Queen is too
absurd. In the first place they are not in
position to show fight If they wanted to.
They have no arms. they all being in the
possession of the Provisional Government.
Again the kanaka is not a lighter from
war point of view.
"Of course interest increases daily and
more particularly since the news reached
the islands that the United States intended
to restore the Queen to the throne. The
feeling among both natives and whites is
that Minister Willis is disposed to be fair
There has been no demonstration of any
serious nature, whatsoever, and it is my
opinion that there will be none. If the
United States so decides that the Queen
must be restored l do not think the Pro-
visional Government will make any fight.
We have all felt that when that time come
there would be nothing left to do but to
lay down arms and surrender the reins
of government to the Queen. / do not
mean TO say that would be the end of the
controversy. for l do not think it would. l
mean to say that in any event l do not
think there will be clash OF arms or blood
shed in Honolulu"

GOLD FOR GERMANY.
Is This Another Attempt to Pull
Down the Surplus i?

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Half million dol
lars In gold has been engaged for export
to Germany. The announcement this gold
would be shipped on the steamship Trave
tomorrow was not unexpected. AS a
matter Of fact it was thought the amount
would be million, and it is not improb-
able that another half million will be en-
gagged. Sterling exchange Is shade
higher. which lends color to the report
that one of the banking-houses with
foreign connections is arranging to send
S1.0Oo,00O in gold by Tuesdays steamer.
The high rate of money on the CONT
nent is one of the main inducements to
ship gold. the rate in Berlin being AZ,
while here money on call is in greater sup
ply than demand at 1 to IL. 1t is looked
upon in certain quarters as not an unfavor-
aDle factor of the financial situation here.
the expectation OF gold, If it should not
reach large proportion, and no fears are
expressed that the drain will be in any
way dangerous.

DRIVEN BACK WITH LOSS.
The Government Troops Were
Too rlany for Them.
STILL FIGHTING IN RIO BAY.
insurgents Occupy an Island Which
Had Been Abandoned by the
Troops of Peixoto.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-The Herald's Mon
tevideo special says: The town of Bage
was attacked on Wednesday By rebel
forces from Rio Grande do Sui under Gen
eral Tavares. AS soon as the advancing
troops reached the houses on the outskirts
of the town the local forces opened fire
with such telling effect tnat the attack was
quickly repelled with great loss to the in
surgents.
The Herald's correspondent, writing
from Rio de Janelro under date of Novem-
Der 20. says that the naval training brig
has been sunk by shot from one Of the
Government forts. Cobras Island, aban-
doned by Peixoto's men. is now held by
Mello. The Tamandare has been made
ready for sea. She can steam five knots
an hour. Mello's flagship. the AQuidaban,
lad made tour around the harbor on
November 27 and anchored near the
Nictheroy shore.
During the night Mello attempted to
land force by means Of launches and
boats under cover of the guns of she
Aquida ban. Trajano and Jupiter. Peixoto's
men, however, were able to prevent the
landing. for Mello's gunners fired badly.
They also regained Armacao, whence
Mello took large part OF his stores, and
they moved the rest of the stores from the
island. This has proved a serious loss to
the insurgents.
The forts and ships continue their long
standing duel. On the night OF No
vember 29 Villegaignon's upper works
were practically reduced to ruins.
The gunnery is distinctly improving
on both sides as the fight drags along,
and yet the situation is unchanged,
but the tension is intense. and the public
is keenly anxious to know Mello's inten-
tons. Rumors were afloat that the rebel
admiral intended to set fire 20 the war
arsenal and to other points on the city's
water front.
Several residents of Botofogo have sent
crosses to Mello TO distribute amoug his
men as token of their sympathy with his
cause.
Arrests of political spspc. = re taking
place daily in Rio. and only two news
papers have escaped suppression. They
are both Government organs. The censor
ship over kilograms out of Rio is being
more vigorously imposed than ever.
A German shin loaded with coal Is re-
ported ashore on Ortez banks and aid has
been sent to her by Admiral Mello.

RUSSIA IN AFRICA.
The White Gar Reaching Out for
the Southern Continent.

LONDON, Dec. S.--The Chronicles vi
emma correspondent says: The announced
intention of the Russian Government to
dispatch a permanent resident agent to
Abyssinia Is regarded by diplomats in
Vienna as an undisguised act of hostility
toward Italy, as Russia has no interests
in Abyssinia. Ii Russia persists in car
rying out her threat complications are GER
tain to arise.
A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from
st. Petersburg says the Proc1rator of the
Holy Synod advocates the establishment
OF diplomatic relations with Abysslnia
because Italy's protectorate would substi-
tute Catholicism for the orthodox Greek
religion. In political circles it is consid-
cred that the advantages aimed at by Rus
sia are the acquisition of status in Africa
and the consequent right to be heard upon
all questions affecting Egypt, Soudan and
the SueZ canal. The Abyssinian heir
apparent. in messages which he sent to the
Gar through Lieutenant Maskdoff, who
recently arrived at st. Petersburg. ex-
pressed fears for the continuance of the
political independence of Abyssnia unless
Russia gave her aid. He also thanked the
Gar for refusing to acknowledge the
Italo- a Abyssinian convention.

THREATEN TO STRIKE.
There Is Trouble Ahead for the
Northern Pacific.
The Men Will Object to the Cut to
Be Made in Their
Wages.

ST. PAUL, Dec. S.-A special to the
Pioneer Press from Fargo, n. D., says:
The employees of the Northern Pacific are
preparing for monster meeting tonight
to protest against the reductions in wages
to go into effect on January 1. They will
send committee to st. Paul to interview
the receivers and general officers. The
temper of the men is ugly, and strike is
almost inevitable, as they believe that the
peculiarities Of the service are such that
new men cannot successfully handle the
trains. as the engineers will not be accus-
toned 10 the alkai water. and further
west the grades would trouble those not
acquainted with them.
The reduction to which the men object
was that ordered all along the line when
the road passed under the receivership.
and there was some muttering against it
at the time it was ordered. Since then
the discomfort has spread, and there is
little doubt now that every employe will
go out if the order to strike comes. If
they do it will inaugurate the bitterest
hight ever known in the railroad history of
the West. The men are strongly in
trenched, have large fund on hand and
will have the sympathies of the people
living along the line, but at the same time
there can be no question that there will be
bitter hardship and suffering attendant
upon strike on the system in winter. It
is upon this fact that the receivers will
rely to win. should it come to fight, but
it is equally certain that the cold weather
would help the men in that it would have
a tendency TO keep stranger railroad men
out of the country. The Northern Pacific
is difficult line to operate at best and
it could not be operated in winter at all by
men not familiar with the line. On the
whole. the outlook is decidedly blue for
both sides.

About six months ago my little son, aged

effected were about as large as silver dollar,

blisters. The child suffered considerably, and
was naturally very fretful. Itried several rene
