WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-The re-
vised tariff bill was laid before the
ways and means committee yesterday
morning, the changes most important
being the pearl button and tin plate
schedules. Members of the majority
of the committee say the changes
were mostly from ad valorem to spe-
cifc duties. where such changes were
necessary from a business standpoint.
The bill was taken up by the full
committee by sections, and the
republican members offered amend
ments and discussed the bill
from time to time. 1t is the inten-
ton Of the majority members to vote
down all amendments offered by the
Republicans and report the bill as
soon as possible in its present revised
condition The committee reached
the sugar schedule before adjourn
ment, but no vote was taken, neither
was there any amendment offered,
1t is likely an amendment will be
offered this morning. but no change
viii be made. The majority members
say that the bill as it now stands will
be reported to the house. 1t is expect
ed the committee viii be able to get
through with the consideration of the
bill to-day and it viii be reported to
the house Wednesday or Thursday.
During the discussion of the bill Mr..
Reed offered a resolution that as it
was shown that under the proposed
bill the revenue would be $72, 600. 900
short, it was desirable that the com
mittee be informed in what way the
deficiency was to be met. Mr.. Wilson
replied that the deficiency was to be
met by internal revenue taxation, but
the schedules were not completed.

nients b. Mr.. Morgan of Alabama and
Mr.. Frye of Maine reported favorably
the joint resolution of Representative
Doolittle Of Washington for the sp-
pointment Of a joint commission Of
three senators and six members to in
vestigate the present states of the
Nicaragua canal project Senator
Morgan recited at length the past his
terry of the enterprise and its struggle
TO obtain government recognition.
He thought the time had come when
it should be decided whether the
United States would aid the project
or abandon it altogether. He declared
the world was determined to have the
canal, and il the United States should
not build II some other nation would.
He pointed out the advantages of the
control of the canal by the United
States. and earnestly hoped the reso-
luton would be adopted. Mr.. Frye
also spoke in favor of the resolution.
He stated that the government which
controls the Nicaragua canal would
also control the Hawaiian islands and
it would be useless for this country to
annex those islands unless the control
Of the canal was assumed.

It seems from the writing of this card
that the parties that did the robbery
are safely concealed in Dallas. Mr.
Jasper. cashier of the hank, on being
interviewed last night, stated the
amount of losses as published Is cor
rect; at least the bank was short that
much, and if the man who signed the

confer a favor upon the bank by Civ
ing the amount he did get, as some
one else might have made a haul
after he got what he wanted, and he
certainly got enough to make the

he shot and fired on him, inficting a
slight wound in the knee. While the

Warimo was received 1900 determined
Annexationists assembled at the drill
shed OF the barracks, behind the
executive building. The meeting as
short, but wildly enthusiastic. The
spirit of '76' prevailed and those
who heard the ringing cheers which
welcomed the speech of President
Hatch of the annexation club and the
presentation of the following resolu-
tions knew that the monarchy, even
though restored by superior force of
the United States, would be short
lived. Since this mass meeting the
spirit of enthusiasm which first pre-
vailed among the royalists has been
in state of fiuctuation. and some of
the clearest headed leaders admit
that the success Of restoration in the
present or future depends on the
armed protection of the monarchy by
the United States. Following are the
resolutions adopted by the mass meet
ing, November 25:
Resolved l. That we have read
with surprise and regret the recon-
mendation of the secretary OF state of
the United States to the president to
restore the monarchy lately existing
in Hawaii.
?. That we condemn the assump-
ton Of the secretary that the right of
the provisional government to exist
terminated by his refusal to resubmit
to the senate the treaty of union
pending between the two countries
and also his assumption that the pro-
yisiOnal government had at that very
time submitted the question of its
continued existence to the arbitration
of the president or any other power.
3. That we support to the best of our
ability the provisional government in
resisting any attack upon it which
may be contrary TO the usage of ma
lions. There are over 20O0 men ready
for service. Orders have been issued
that no nation would be allowed to
land troops without consent OF the
provisional government. Active prep
arations both for defense and agrees
sion if necessary, began on the arrival
men were put to work fortifying the
executive building. The verandas
were fortified with three tiers of
sandbags. Thereof will be similarly
treated. Companies of sharpshOoters,
all trained men, will occupy the four
corner towers from the basement to
the roof. The preparations thus far
male viii allow the government to
handle with great resistance forces OF
$50 to 800 troops in the executive
buildings and ammunition and stores
have been provided to withstand a
continuous attack for month or more
should hOstilities break out. The
water supply cannot be cut of, as the
executive building is supplied by an
artesian well on the grounds.

The French Bomb rhrswsr

PARIS. France, Dec. 11.-After a
day of great excitement following the
explosion OF the bomb in the chamber
of deputies. the authorities have an
nounced that they have the bomb
thrower in custody. The miscreant
is named Marchal, alias Valiant. He
has made a full confession. News to
the effect that the bomb thrower is in
the hands of the police was circulated
at noon yesterday, but the report was
not confirmed until the official an
nouncement was made yesterday
evening. Marchal, so it ap-
pears, was among the injured
persons taken to the Hotel Dieu,
a large hospital on the north of the
place du Parvis Notre Dame. Marchal
soon fell under suspicion of the au-
thorities and pressed by the project of
police, decided to made full confess
sion and did so. glOrying in the das-
tardly crime. When questioned as to
his reasons for attempting to take the
lives of so many people, he replied: II
wished to deal a thoroughly dramatic
blow at institutions and cause a great
SENSATION. l endeavored to aim the
bomb at Dupuv, president of the
chamber. I glory in the act and only
regret my hand swerved and the bomb
did not explode near the mark.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-In an inter
view yesterday Minister Mendonca OF
Brazil, said; INSTEAD Of having only
5000 men, as a London cable says.
President Peixoto has 1870 men at
Rio well armed, drilled and equipped.
The cOntemptuous reference to their
being unframed mulattOes and negroes
might be applied to the heroic garri-
son which defended Nictheroy three
months. That garrison was made up
of about eighty mulattoes, and yet
they drove off the rebel ironclad and
held the town. If eighty mulattoes
did this for Nitcheroy it can be judged
what sort OF defense President Peix-
OTTO can make with 16, 900 of the same
class Of fighters.

Mexico was well under way, when a
