pEIsDYrER1AN CONFERENCE
i Secret Session but a Hint of What Was
Done.

Done.
CLEVELAND, ONO, Nov. 9.-The Pres
byterian conference concluded its ses.
sions in Calvary church this afternoon
and the conclusions reached have made
this gathering a historical one.
The liberal gentlemen who compose
the conference have taken belligerent
stand against their more orthodox
brethren and are determined to fight
for their rights in the church OF their
choice. The conference OF today was
surrounded with same air ofmystery and
secrecy which pervaded tine gathering
at tile first day of its meeting. No one
seemed to be authorized to give the
simplest routine features OF the cenfer.
ence. 1t was learned that paper was
prepared and will be given out for pub:
lication Friday morning which shall
announce the position OF the lib
eral ministers upon theological ques-
tions and more especially the
logical position OF its clergy upon the
issues recently raised by The heresy
trial OF Rev. DR.. Briggs. The paper an.
nounces that the place for Liberal
Presbyterians is in the church, and that
because they have new ideas it is not
necessary that they should resign.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 9.-It is
evident that there is much to be told in
the Hawaiian matter yet. Secretary
Gresham declines to impart any in
formation on the subject Whatever.
His office gives no ray OF light upon it.
The discussion OF the policy towards
Hawaii at the cabinet meeting on
Tuesday seems to have given intorma-
ton to some members OF the admins
tration that have lacked it heretofore.
Bits OF talk on the subject have trickled
through to the public since then in a
way that does not indicate that the
source of the information is friendly to
the policy. 1t is evident that the policy
is unfriendly to the present provisional
government OF the islands, or the pur-
pose tor which it was formed, which
was the annexation to the United
States. There is reason to believe that
the present provisional government in
Hawaii is regarded as the result OF the
landing of marines from the Boston in
Honolulu at the time OF tho revolution,
and, as already stated in these dis
patches, the desire oil this administra-
ton is to go back over all the steps
taken by the last administration and
undo them.
Well informed persons who comment
on these facts point out thediflioulty for
the United States government in a dip
lomatic way, after having formally rec
ognized it as the lawful government OF
the islands, received its accredited dip
lomatic and representatives and accred-
tied United States minister toit. There
seems no authority for believing that
the United States minister has been
given the power to exercise anything
more than moral influence to secure
a re-establishment OF the conditions in
the islands that obtained before the re-
cent revolution. The fact that such an
influence is to be tried, indicates that
there is some hope that 1t
will succeed. But there is prac-
tical unanimity ong those
well acquainted with the islands that
no moral suasion will ever serve to de.
poge the provisional government and
re-establish the queen. The future
policy to be pursued must then pro-
badly wait for furthori instructions.
The United States navy will view with
little satisfaction any effort to restore
Queen Liloukalani in Honolulu. Of
ficers in the navy have been ardent an
nexationists and the opinion has pre-
vailed among them that Queen Lilouka-
lani represented the British interests
in the islauds. Just at present they
are very discreet about expressing any
opinions on the subject.

covered from it, not at least until after
the next Presidential election.

RESULT OF THE ELECTION.
Improved Conditions In the Iron and stes
Trade AlreaIy Apparent.

Improved Conditions in the Iron and Steel
Trade Already Apparent.
CLEVELAND, o., Nov, 9.-The Iron
Trade Rcricw this week says: There is
an improved condition in the iron and
steel trade in consequence of Tuesdays
election results, a sentimental improve
ment at least. 1t may not show itself
in any advance in prices, but in a
greater willingness to trade. Iron and
steel manufacturers are protectionists,
and their business practice conforms to
their belief. The hesitancy about con-
Guiding pending negotiations for large
amounts OF iron which we chronicled
after the result OF the election Of 1892,
was the result OF fear that values
which had advanced % cents in the case
of raw iron would recede. To-day, as
reports from number OF sources indi-
cate, there is a feeling that buyers, who
have been predicting slight change for
the better in the event OF emphatic ma
jorities in protest against free trade,
will enter the market for larger pur.
chnses than they have been making the
past four or five months OF depression.

TOBACCO MANUFACTURERS
Enter Protest Against m Increase of the
Tobncco Tax.

Enter n Protest Against uh Iucreuso OL INC
Tobacco Tax.
WASHINGTON, D. @. Nov. 9-The COM
nittee appointed by the convention OF
tobacco manufacturers OF the United
States will appear before the ways and
means committee and protest against
any increase of the tax on manufactured
tobacco, was accorded hearing this
afternoon by Chairman McMillin, of
the subcommittee on internal revenue,
and Mr.. Spence, OF Cincinnati, acted as
speaker. He said they represented
eighty Of the most prominent tobacco
manufacturers OF the country, and had
been unanimously instructed at a meet
ing OF these manufacturers to state that
an increase OF the tax on manufactured
tobacco would be inimical to the inter.
ests OF both the manufacturers and
growers OF tobacco by reason OF the
lessenlng of the consumption.
The committee recommended that ii
any legislation will ever be enacted al
feCting the tobacco interests, it be the
repeal OF the law OF 1890, which per-
mits the sale OF leaf tobacco to the con-
sumer without the payment of taxes.
They argued that the repeal OF this law
would largely increase the government
revenues on tobacco.
Mr. McMillin gave no intimation OF
the intentions OF the committee on
ways and means with reference to the
tobacco tax, but it had been frequently
reported that the majority OF the com
mittee favors an increase OF the tobacco
tax as a means Of supplying the neces-
sary revenues.
