Departs for tho weSt-A Belief that he has
Conc to Hawaii.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 7.-Minister
Thurston, the representative of the
provisional government OF Hawaii, fur
nished the surprise in Hawaiian affairs
to-day by quietly departing from the
city for the west, and tits surmised that
he is quite likely to go to Honolulu be-
fore returning to Washington. His
secret departure excited considerable
comment, and there was much specula-
ton as to its significance. 1t can be
stated, however, that his departure
does not mean any break in the recogni-
ton this government heretofore has al
ways accorded him as the. accredited
representative Of the de tdcto government
of Hawaii. Mr.. Thurston was not given
his passports, nor was there any inter-
ruption in the amenities which have
been observed in the outer diplomatic
relations between the minister and Sec
retary Gresham.
When the attention OF Secretary
Hastings, in charge at the Hawaiian
legation, was called to the comment ex-
cited by Minister rhurston's sudden de-
parture, he expressed surprise that the
minister'a movements should attract
attention.
'If he has gone to Honolulu" said
he, I'VE are not aware Of it here, and
he said nothing to me about it. He
goes first to Chicago and thence to San
Francisco. Possibly he may see fit
when he reaches San Francisco to sail
for Hawaii, but that is mere conjecture.
1t is quite natural for him to 20 to San
Francisco as the Hawaiian government
is taking an active part in the Mid
winter Exposition which soon opens
there"
Opinion is freely expressed that the
action OF the senate calling upon the
President for the Hawaiian correspond
ence has satisfied the minister the sub
ject will take care OF itself in this coun-
try, and that his energies can be direct.
ed with better results in advising and
helping the provisional government to
hold their ground.

PROVIDENCE, Dec. 7--The conference
between the business men and the ex-
ecutive committee of the strikers and
mill owners this afternoon lasted four
hours and resulted in further complica-
tions. The strikers were anxious that
the little differences existing between
them and the manufacturers should be
adjusted. They signifed their viii
lingness to return to work on
the same basis as did the oper-
atives OF the Saxon mill last
Monday, but this the owners OF the
Providence, National, saranac, Taft,
Weeden and Weybosset mills would
not accede to. The business men re-
ouested that tho manufacturers grant q
slight concession, but this they would
not agree TO, and, as result, the COM
mittee, when they returned, stated they
would not take any further action in
the matter OF trying to bring about a
Bettlement

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 7.-The strikers
at GastonvilIe met today and decided to
return to work at 65 cents per ton, pro-
vided the iron clad agreement was aboi-
ished. This is the rate the operators
offered at Tuesdays convention.
This afternoon the Pittsburgh and
Chicago Gas Coal Company notified the
deputy shorids that their services would
be dis pensed with. The works are now
running without protection, but the
men have no fear OF being molested.
There is now little doubt but what
the miners at their convention to-mor-
row will agree to accept the sixty-fve
cent mining rate. National Secretary
McBryde and other officials while de-
plorlng the fact that reduction must
be made, feel that it IS to the best inter-
ests of the men.

Briillnnt speech.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. 7.-Upon
the announcement OF the expiration OF
the morning, hour, the house resolved
itself into the committee OF the whole
for the further consideration Of the
bankruptcy bill. Mr.. Bailey, of Texas,
in charge OF the opposition, antagonized
it in brilliant speech. He began BY
referring to the many acute financial
perturbations in the history OF the
country, which stranded many thou
sands OF our citizens and left as their
only refuge from their only creditors
the bankruptcy court. 1t was the only
hope OF releasing and unfettering their
energies so that they could begin life
anew.
Mr.. Bailey's eloquent peroration
evoked much applause.
In closing the general debate for the
advocates OF the bill Colonel Oates
divided the house into bulls and bears
of legislation. The former the creator
OF the legislation, the latter the OPP
ponents of all new legislation. He de-
MED that the bill had any harsh pro-
visions and expressed his Willingness to
accept any amendments proposed in
good faith and sustained by honest ar
gument ,
During a dialogue between Colonel
Oates and Mr.. benson, OF Alabama,
which drifted into the money question,
the latter, who was an ardent free coin
age man, spoke OF the time when the
house would remonetize silver.

think this is u Democratic house"

money. ii it had been the house would
not have Internationally repealed the
Sherman law"
Having delivered himself Of this shot,
whereat tho house laughed, Mr.. Reed
took his seat, and Mr.. Oates continued
his advocacy OF ihe bankruptcy bill.
At the conclusion OF his speech the
committee rose, and at p. m. the
house adjourned.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 1.-The general as
sembly committee of the Presbyterian
Church on the relations OF the church
to the theological seminaries closed a
three-days' session here this evening,
having considered several plans by
which, it is hoped, the church will in
the future have greater security in the
administration OF the property OF the
seminarles and funds which may be
given for theological education.
The understanding is that all rights
OF the semin0ries under all compacts
are to be sacredly recognized. The com.
mittee suggests that the seminaries ask
the respective state legislatures to make
such changes in their charters rs will
enable them to declare their trust in
favor OF general assembly in case Of
ceasing to exist, and to give TO the as

the trustees elected before they enter
on their duties. Also in like manner

PITrsDuRGH, Dec. THE Commercial
Gazette will say tomorrow:
Definite information was obtained to-
day that tho big steel making project Of
the Rockefeller-Merritt syndicate has
been declared off for the present on ac-
count of the pending Wilson bill and
the existing depression Of business. A
test was made of the Adams process for
producing steel aa announced some time
ago, and the big capitalists were salts
fed with the results SO far as obtained.
So we'll satisfied, in fact. they have de-
eiied to adopt the process in mill in
Cleveland, where the band iron is made
with which the Standard Oil Company
hoops its barrels.
The original arrangement was to
make test at the Cleveland plant, and
if satisfactory the syndicate would erect
a plant at one OF the Lake Erie ports
and buy the process outright.
The syndicate proposes to await tho
passage Of whatever legislation Congress
can agree upon and the readjustment OF
wages and conditions under such legis-
lation before 1t will make any move to
work its property.

ocratic members OF the ways and means
committee were busy this morning
working on the tariff bill and making
the corrections found necessary.
The subcommittee on the internal
revenue is still at work, but has not per-
fected its work. Representative Bryan,
member OF the committee, denies that
there is any truth in the report that
that committee had decided to tax
matches and patent medicines. Repre-
sentative Harter, Of Ohio, has been try
ing to get the sentiment Of the house,
or at least OF the Democratic members,
on the subject OF duty on sugar. Mr..
Harter would like TO have the tariff
bill carry duty OF one cent pound on
sugar, and thinks that this would yield
S30,OO0,O0O a year and obviate the neces-
sity OF an income tax, which he thinks
will be unpopular.
