Guess LII Is Queen.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Officers Of
the state department fully believe
that the Hawaiian queen is by this
time restored to the throne. While
they do not fix any precise time as to
when the installment took place, they
believe that force was not necessary.
1t seems. however, while actual force
may not be authorized, there was 10
be such a show of force as would
make the provisional government be-
lieve that the United States would use
all the power at its command to bring
about the restoration. The statement
is also made that if Dole refused
to accede to the demands of Minister
Willis he would be thrust aside and
the queen restored, even if the admin
istration would have to 90 to congress
for authority. At the same time II
was claimed that there would be nc
necessity for any such action, as in
formation from the islands was to the
effect that everything was working
precisely as expected. One reason
for the belief in some quarters that
the restoration took place Tuesday OF
would take place about that time was
because of the assertion often made
that unless the restoration took place
before the arrival OF the first steamer
from the United States since the atti-
tude of this administration was made
public it would not be made at all.
because the sentiment OF the United
States and the report OF Thurston to
the provisional government would
have a tendency to sustain them and
cause them to resist Willis efforts at
restoration. This phase of the case
was suggested to the state depart
ment yesterday, and the reply was
received that it made no difference
whether Thurston has been able to
communicate with the provisional
government or not, or whether that
government offers any resistance, the
restoration will go on Just the same.

THE TARIFF MEASURE.
The Disagreement Of The Committee is De-
elded, and The Bill Unfinished.
SOME FOR SOME AGAINST INCOME TAX.
Great Pressure Ia Being Brought te Bear Upon the
Members Of the Committee BY RspFssen-sd8
tatiVes Of Different Interests.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The Dem
ocratic members of the ways and
means committee are experiencing
much difficulty in their endeaEors to
complete the new tariff bill and have
it ready for submission to their Re-
publican colleagues at the meeting of
the full committee Monday next.
There is still considerable difference
of opinion in the committee upon GER
tain items of the bill, and at this stage
the details of the internal revenue
schedulezand the income tax provis-
ions are yet incomplete and somewhat
indefinite. Indeed strong influence
has been brought to bear within
forty-eight hours to induce the COM
mittee to abandon altogether the in
come tax provision, but the position
of Messrs. McMillin, Bryan, Whiting
and others has been so resolute in
favor OF this policy that it appears
impossible for the committee to aban-
don the income tax fully without
hopelessly dividing the Democratic
party. Such action on the part of
the committee would result in a mi
nority report being presented to the
house. 1t seems probable. however,
that the income tax provision ws4BSz
be of the sweeping character at first
contemplated. The present plans
are to impose a tax on legacies, on
income of large corporations, on
incomes OF real estate and other
property in this country owned
or controlled by aliens, as well
as to require the stamping of GER
tain documents and the special Ii
censing of certain classes of business.
The members freely admit that the
details Of the income tax provision
will be the last agreed upon. As the
work of the committee nears a close
the pressure of various industries
likely to be affected for some infor-
nation of the character of the meas
ure, or for a hearing in protest
against the contemplated legislation,
becomes more and more intense.
Most of them, however. are unsuc-
cessful in getting the ear of Chairman
Wilson or any other of the committee,
as the sessions are held behind closed
doors and the officers of the commit
tee are instructed to permit no cards
to be handed in.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Secretary
Gresham received a cipher message
yesterday afternoon from Willis, Civ
ing a complete report of the Hawaiian
situation up to the time of the depart
ure of the Alameda from Honolulu.
The message was put on the wire at
San Francisco as soon as it arrived
there and was delivered at the
state department shortly after noon
Being in cipher il required several
hours to translate it, and then it was
taken at once to President Cleveland,
who read and discussed it with the
members OF his cabinet. AS yet the
exact contents Of the message no one
outside OF the president and his cab
met knows. 1t is a closely guarded
state secret and will be held until the
president desires it to be made public.
The message is Interpreted by OIL
cials outside the cabinet to mean that
Willis had completed all arrangements
for the restoration oil Lillioukalani to
the throne. 1t is also claimed by
those who stand to the administra-
ton that should Willis continue to be
successful in carrying out his instruc-
tions as he had been up to the day
the Alameda sailed the vast majority
OF the American people will take sides
with the president and sustain him
in the course he has pursued when
they become appraised of all the facts.

morrow, will bring information as TO
the reinstatement of the queen. It is
thought here that if the queen went
on the throne she did so after that
vessel left the islands. Therefore
nothing of a sensational nature is ex-
pected by her. though she may have
interesting news. Another boat is ex-
pected by Saturday or Sunday, and
this is the one expected to bring news
1t is whispered here that ii the queen
is to 90 back on the throne, and there
is not the least reason to doubt this.
the event took place about the
18th or goth of this month.
The consideration of the letter
of Gresham and the declarations OF
Willis as brought to America by the
last Honolulu vessel have resulted in
a general opinion that the govern
ment will be as follows: That Willis
is instructed to request the present
provisional government to dissolve.
II this is not complied with Mr.. Cleve-
land will lay the matter before con-
gress and ask that it force such dis
solution. This conclusion comes from
the idea that to overthrow the pro-
visional government would be an act
of war and cannot and will not be
done by any power but congress.
Unless the administration recedes the
queen Will be reinstated without any
submission to congress of any propo-
sition, because the administration is
proceeding on the principle that it
can right wrong just as the govern
ment committed il.

ing out the seizure of a barrel of beer
by two state dispensarY constables.
As a result Governor Tillmsn may
place Beaufort under martial law.
Two constables boarded a steamer on
her arrival from Savannah for the pur-
pose of Selling a barrel Of whisky.
The negroes got wind of the fact
and crowded about the steamer to
the number of 800. When they
learned that the barrel on the
ship was beer and not whisky the
crowd began 10 guy the constables
and finally began a vigorous assault
on the constables with bricks. No
body was seriously hurt, however.

of Labor balloting for the new general
executive board commenced. T. B.
Mcclure of New York was chosen.
Ballot after ballot was taken for the
other members, but no result was
reached The election had to be de-
clared suspended until this morning.
After the adjournment there was a
great gathering of the claimants and
the claims of each nominee were
pressed in the most effective manner.
This was kept up even during the
dinner hour, and at the reception at
the Knights of Labor headquarters last
night the festivities did not deter the
delegates from arguing the pros and
cons of the question and the qualifca-
tions of candidates for Office. 1t is
said by those on the inside that if
peace could be declared for a short
time between the hostile factions the
affairs of the order might be better
looked after. 1t was enacted during
the day that hereafter that the secre-
y-treasurer shall act as secretary
OF the general assembly. At the hour
of adjournment the delegates showed
a determination to keep on with the
fight against POwderly.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Nov. 24.-The
body of William II. Parvin, aged 81,
president of the Eastland National
bank OF Eastland, was found In his
room at the Pickwick last night with
a pistol wound in the right temple,
showing cause of death. No explana-
ton was left in the room, not word
of writing being found, and nothing
but his personal effects, some jewelry
he had bought for his grand children
and the pistol with which the fatal
wound was inflicted. Wednesday
night about 9 o'clock the shot was
heard and though it attracted atten-
tion it could not be located and its
source was not found till the body
was discovered last night. Mr.. Par
win had been here for several DAYS
and was in excellent spirits. Wednes-
day night he wrote a long letter
that he mailed himself This may
furnish some explanation. He was
talking to J. H. Milliken about some
Mexican investments, and these two
and Captain Deveraux were in Dallas
on business Tuesday. They came back
here and Mr.. Parviu intended TO go
home Wednesday morning. He missed
his train, aud twelve hours after he
intended to start for home was in his
final rest. During the day he talked
clearly, calmly and nationally about
business matters, went out and bought
the articles found in his room. and
among them the pistol with which the
death wound was inflicted. Several
efforts were made to gain admission
to the room during the day, and at
last the persistent silence excited sus-
picion. An entrance was effected and
the discovery made. He leaves sew
eral children. The body is held await
inc orders.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The trou-
bles on the Mexican border have as
sumed more serious proportions than
the officials here at first anticipated.
Saturday Senior Romero. Mexican
minister, informed the state depart
ment that he had received word from
his government that a band of 2500
were organizing or the Texas side OF
the Rio Grande for the purpose of
crossing into Mexico at u point near
san Elizario. The matter was imme-
diately referred to the war depart
ment and Gen. Wheaton, commander
of the department of Texas, was tele-
grsphed to take steps to prevent them
from crossing. He replied that he
had sent Major Hinton to San
Elizario with company of infantry
with wagons and that : troop
of thirty cavalrymen also left
for the same point from another part,
but no trace of the band had been
found. 1t appears from later iufor-
nation that the troops were misled.
Inc MeA4cdu MINISTER cdllcu dt tue
state department again yesterday and
informed the secretary that he had
received advices that another band OF
sixty-five men had crossed near Ell
Paso. He also complained that the
Texas authorities had taken no steps
to prevent the violation of the neu-
trality law, although they had infor-
nation of the fact that the band was
organized. This information was tel
egraphed to Gen. Wheaton and it is
probable that he will at once take
steps to patrol the frontier and put a
stop TO any further violations of the
law

morning James Mitchell, many years
a resident of Austin, and in the en-
ploy of Joseph Male for several years,
was run over by the incoming Houston
and Texas Central passenger train at
the freight depot in this city. His
head was severed from his body and
his limbs fearfully mangled. One ac-
count of it is that he deliberately
threw himself on the track in front Of
the engine, and in that connection it
is remembered that he threw himself
from bridge into the Colorado river
some months ago, but was rescued.
His son, however, contends that he
was driving his COWS off the track and
slipped, falling on the track. The en-
CINE was too near at hand for him to
get out of the way The first account
is substantiated by the engineer and
fireman. The coroner is investigating
the case.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The prs
poets are now that the Democratic
members of the ways and means com
mittee will give their bill to the Re
publican minority of the committee on
Monday and it will also be given the
public at that time. A part of the
committee is at the house of Mr.. Tom
johnson of Ohio, the great single tax
and income tax man. and this is taken
as evidence that the income tax pro-
position viii be put in the bill. For
the past week there seems to be a
universal opinion that there will be
some kind of an income tax put in the

SINNER, Tex, Nov. 22.-Sunday
night between and 9 o'clock at this
place Navaca county, some unknown
parties fired about dozen shots into
the house of Andrew Jackson, colored.
There were about a dozen people in
the house at the time, but luckily no
one was struck A few minutes after
the shooting Jim Wood and Hayward
Hanna, two negroes, were going home
and when opposite the X. of P. hall
were fired upon from ambush and Jim
Wood was shot above the right knee,
shattering the bone. The wounded
man was carried to Andrew Jackson's
house. While DIR. Nave was dressing
the wounded mans leg, some more
shots were fired into Jackson's house
and one of them struck DR.. Nave in
the right leg above the knee, making
a slight flesh wound. Matters
began to take serious turn and
several citizens armed themselves and
began to look for the shooters, but
could find nobody Later on when
returning from the useless hunt, Mr..
John Blohm had the misfortune to
drop his pistol on the floor in NJ. Rich
ter's saloon, when the pistol fired and
the ball struck MIR. Richter In the
thigh, making quite a serious wound.
The ball has not been found up to this
writing, but Mr.. Richter is resting
as easy as possible under the circum-
stances. The parties who done all
the shooting are supposed to be the
same who robbed the two farmers a
few weeks ago and cracked Mr.. Hueb-
ner's safe, but have met with very
little success so far. The leg of the
negro Jim Wood had to be amputated,
as there was danger of gangrene set
ting in. His recovery is very doubt
