WEATHER BULLETIN.
Fosters Forecasts For December an,
 January.

January.
 W. T.. Foster, the weather prophet, writes: A storm wave will cross the conti- nent from December 18th to 18th, and another will reach the Pacific coast about the 20th, cross the western mountains by close of 21st, the great central valleys from 22d to 24th, and the eastern states about the 18th.
 The disturbing influences at date of this storm wave will be favorable to earth quakes in earthquake countries. About December 22d the earth will receive a large amount of electrical force and this may result in severe earthquakes or the force may pass to the earth through the high barometers, in which case we will have a severe cold wave.
 This overcharge of electricity will pass from the earth again about the 29th and January 9th and we will experience se- were storms about these dates.
 The last storm wave of December will reach the Pacific coast about the 26th. cross the western mountains by close of the 27th, the great central valleys from 2Sth to 30th and the eastern states about the 31st. This will be a very severe win ter storm in the Mississippi valley about the 29th.
 Warm waves will cross the western mountains about goth and 26th, the great central valleys about 22d and 2Sth and the eastern states about 24th and 30th.
 Cool waves will cross the western noun tains about the 23rd and 29th, the great central valleys about 25th and 31st and the eastern states about 27th and Jan 2nd.

Many Democrats Oppose the Re Commendation of a Corporate
 Income Tax.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The Torrey bankruptcy bill was strangled unex- pectedly by the house just as the con- sideration of the bill under the five minute rule was about to begin. Oates, the champion of the measure, had de- clined to permit the house to vote on Bailey's substitute providing simply for voluntary system of bankruptcy whereupon Bland precipitated the en- tire question by moving to strike out the enacting clause. Valnly the advo- cates of the measure protested that it was unfair to reject the bill before the house had had chance to perfect il by amend nent. Their pleadings were unavailing. The vote was decisive and Bland's motion. was carried by ma jority of 142 to III.
 Judge Torrey, the author of the measure, who has been here ten years promoting the interests of the bill, sal disconsolately in the gallery. The vots was strict party one. An analysi: shows that 115 Democrats, Is Repub bli cans and Populists voted to strike on the enacting clause and GA Republican and 47 Democrats voted against it.

Informed at Honolulu,

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 8.-It is known positively here by the Associated Press that the plan of action as outlined by Minister Thurston to his friends in Washington before he left for Honolulu is identical with the instructions for warded to Honolulu on November Is by the Warrimoo. It will be remem- bered that Cleveland's policy regarding Hawaii was made public only few days before the Warrimoo sailed from Vancouver. Thurston immediately sent dispatch to Vancouver and had it forwarded by the Warrimoo to Hono- lulu where it WAS delivered to the pro- visional government on Novem Der 23. In that dispatch Thurston gave the substance of a conversation he had with Gresham on various points and also advised the provisional govern
 ment as indicated in the Associated Press dispatch from Washington today.

A STAR-BEAM Thrown on the Private
 Life of Queen Lii. Hawaiian Affairs Fur ther Complicated By a Threatened Libel Suit by
 the Queens Paramour. The Provisional Government Still Stands Solid as a Rock at Honolulu.
By the Associated Press.

By the AssOcldleQ Press.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 8.-The schooner Transit arrived tonight from Honolulu bringing Associated Press advices up to November 19. Nothing of importance had occurred up to the time the Tran sit sailed and the news brought is only zorro borative of that received at Port Townsend by the barkentine Klickitat.
 Notwithstanding Minister Willis an- nouncement, that nothing would be done by him at present, in order to allay the unsettled feeling, it las had an opposite effect. He divulged just eRQugh to excite speculation and as both sides interpret his explanation as favorable to them fuel has been added to the political fire.
 Ex- Marshal 0. B. Wilson has brought two suits for libel against Walter G. Smith, editor of the Star, for publish ing articles exposing Wilson's immoral relations with the exqueen. The de- fense declares that the truth of the statements can be proved and says the ex-queen will be called as a witness if the case is pushed.
 Americans here say that no restora- tion shall take place and that any attempt to do so would have to be &C., compllshed by force on the part of the United States. From source directly in touch with the American legation, the Associated Press correspondent learns that the contingency which has caused the delay in Hawaiian affairs until Washington is heard from, is the fact that the provisional government and.resident Americans would openly resist either a compromise or restora- | tion

Urged to Be Firm.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-Thurston's state ment as to the plan of the provisional government tallies with the advces sent by him, after reading Gresham's letter to the president, urging President Dole to stand firm and yield to nothing but actual force. The friends of the prov isional government feel confident that Dole has been firmly entrenched in his determination by what he heard from Thurston. It seems altogether unlikely the provisional government has been distur bed in it's hold.
 A gentleman entitled to speak with authority says Gresham's letter to the president was published in the confident belief that moral suasion alone would suffice to effect the queens restoration. The misbelief was based on an explicit statement in Blount's report. It is not believed the administration has ano in- tentlon of using force. It will likely be several days before the whole history of the matter is laid before the senate.
 At cabinet meeting today the situa- tion came in for a share of attention but owing to meagre news from the isl- ands the discussion was necessarily short of definite results. No exact time was fixed for sending to congress the correspondence and papers. The de. parture of Thurston was not comment ed upon at the cabinet meeting and the indifference felt as to the minister's movements is shown by remark of 6 cabinet officer after the meeting that he had not even heard of Thurston's leay- ing Washington.
 It can be stated explicitly there was no understanding arrived at between Gresham and Mir. Thurston before the latter's departure from Washington as to the course the United States would pursue in Hawaii.

 Regarding the Washington dispatch outlining the policy said to have been agreed upon by the provisional govern ment, Thurston said: "Such state ment is unauthorlzed.
