Doubts az to Pnrentace.

Tacoma, Wash, Special, Feb. 4.-The
local Hawaiian colony is at loggerheads
because of statement at a meeting of
citizens to discuss the annexation pro-
position that Princess Kaiauani heir
plysumptive to the throne of Hawaii. an
kingdom, is the daughter of lieutenant
in the United States navy. This declara-
tlon, was precipitated by an objection
made to annexing the island because of
the fear that the princess reputed faith
err, Scotchman named Cleghorn, having
influence with the English government,
would rouse England to protecting the
prospective rights of the princess. Prof
Barlow, principal of one of the public
ss1cholls, expressed this fear, whereupon
". -; Simpson, who has just returned
from Honolulu, said Cleghorn could have
no influence with any government. He
was at the island and staid about for a
time, a child being born to the sister of
the deposed Queen Liliuokalani abont
a. month after he left for Scotland.
While he is the reputed father Of the
PRINCESS, Simpson said it was also gen.
orally understoodon the islands that a
lieutenant in the American navy was the
real father of Princess Kaiaulani.

FILIBUSTERING TACTICS.
WASHBURN'S BILL MEETS WITH
AN OBSTACLE.
A Motion to Refer the Bill to the
Agricultural Committee Pre-
walls. and This Is Con-
sidered an Antt-Op-
ton Victory.
The House Dal,ies With 1t.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE friends of
the anti-option bill obtained victory
in the house to-day. When the speaker
laid before the house the bill with the
senate amendments thereto he delivered
his decision on the point of order that
the amendments must first be considered
in committee of the whole. He staed
that the bill was laid before the house
for reference only, unless it be a house
bill with senate amendments, which did
not require consideration in the COM
mittee of the whole. The question was
one Of fact as to whether the senate
amendments to this bill required such
consideration. In the senate amend
ments the article of flour" was men,
toned. This was new and distinct
subject matter of taxation; and it seemed
to the chair that this amendment at least
must have its first consideration in COM
mittee of the whole. This bill was before
the house for reference to standing
or select committee. and not for pres
ent consideration. The Judgment of the
chair was that the bill should be re-
ferred to a standing or select committee
He therefore sustained the point of
order against Mr.. Hatch's motion to
non-concur in the senate amendments
and to agree to Il conference
Mr.. Hatch did not appeal, but moved
to refer the bill to the committee on
agriculture, and on that motion demand
ed the revious question. Mr.. Boatner
made a point of order that the bill did
not belong to the committee on agri-
culture, but to the committee on ways
and means. The speaker suggested that
it was in the power of the house to refer
the bill to whatever committee it wished.
MIR. kilgore made the further point that
the bill, having been originally reported
by the committee on agriculture. that was
its natural reference now, and the chair
had not the right to entertain motion
to refer it to that committee. If mo-
ton to refer was made, it should be
made for reference to some other COM
mittee. The speaker overruled the points
of order and held Mr. Hntch's motion
to be proper one. The question was
tkcn on Mr.. Hatch's demand for the
previous question. On a division the vote
stood 40 to G5, and Mr.. Cummings de-
manded the yeas and nays, which We're
ordered. The previous question was or
dered-yeas ISL, nays 49, and the bill
was referred to the committee on agri-
culture without division.
