the objections raised against the other bill

THE CAPITOL POLICE.
senator Brice's Resolution to In
crease the Force by Twelve.

Senator Brice today introduced a Joint
resolution. which was referred to the COM
mittee on contingent expenses Of the Senate
providing for the appointment of twelve sd-
oitlonai policemen for service in the Capitol
building and grounds. to be paid 81 100 a
year apiece. One-half of this is to be paid
py the secretary Of the Senate and one-half
py the clerk of the House out of appropri-
ATOMS Tor miscellaneous items OF the re-
spectVe houses until permanent provisions
can De made for the salaries. The present
police force of the Capitol consists of twenty
privates, divided into three reliefs worl.iny
eIght hours each There are seven stations
IN the building that should be guarded
by one policeman each all the time. It
mas been found that there are on .he aver
age only five men on duty at once. This
Is caused py necessary absences on leave or
account of sickness.
No Guardianship of the Grounds.
There is absolutely no guardianship over
the grounds outside of the building, ana II is
a notorious fact that the grounds have he
come the rendezvous Of disreputable char
acters at night, and many complaints have
been made by persons who have had to pass
through the grounds. and the walks ard
paths are frequented by noisy and bolster
Gus groups of men and women. The metro
politan police have no Jurisdiction over this
territory, and there is a great deal of con-
fusion and misapprehension In regard TO the
duties OF the city policeman and the Capttol
policeman in reference to this matter II is
thought that with twelve additional privates
there will be enough men to fill ali OF the
seven stations in the building and 10 put
at least two men on duty In the grounds
Pending action on the resolution Col.
Bright, sergeant-at-arms OF the Senate, has
had twelve of his messengers sworn in as
special policemen of the metropolitan force
They are provided with badges but no uni
forms. and have the power to make arrests.
1t Is probable that IL the resolution increas-
ing the force should be obtained. these
twelve specials will be retained on duty
for emergency.

DEMOCRATS AND HAWAII.
Tired Of the Mauling They Are Getting
From the Republicans.
Alleged Instructions to Minister
Quiry Modified and Adopted.

The democrats Of both the House and the
Senate and especially of the Senate are
getting very weary of the mauling, which
they are getting from Mr.. Hoar and other
republicans on the Hawaiian question.
Aside from the two or three men, who are
willing to run the risk of sacrificing them
selves by defending the administration
while they themselves are being kept in the
dark, the democrats are keeping very quiet
The general disposition among them is not
10 take any responsibility in this matter
and not attempt to aid the administration
unless Mr.. Cleveland and himself can sat
isfy them and the country that the i'm
preston given in his message and in Mr..
Greshams letter of the intention as to the
restoration Of the queen was erroneous.
1t Is SAID by those who pretend to have in
formation on the subject that there is no
question that Mr.. Cleveland has modified
his policy and that the written instruc-
tons to Mr.. Willis will be found to be quite
different from what the public has reason
to believe his full instructions amounted
10. After the meeting of the foreign affairs
committee in the House today il was de-
cided that the chairman of the committee
should see Mr.. Cleveland and try ito induce
him to send in to Congress a COPY of the
instructions to Willis before the Hit reso-
luton is adopted by the House ana before
the genera! correspondence is transmitted
to Congress.
MIR. Willis Instructions.
A gentleman who is in position to know
about these matters stated today that the
instructions to Minister Willis would be
found to encompass the following propo-
sitions merely: That he informed the queen
that the United States withdrew from the
provisional government any support which
1t might be supposed to exercise ann that
AZ she resumed her throne the United States
government would recognize her. and would
try to preserve order for the time being, but
would use no force. The queen declined
TINS oner outright stating Notwithstanding
Mr.. Blount's theories on the subjecU that
she could not preserve herself in power
without the aid of the United States The
committee today decided to report favor
ANY the resolution calling for Information
and to call 1t up in the House for consid-

moved to make the report Immediately. but

The House is to have up the question of
the admission of Utah as a state during

practically certain that the bill will be
adopted. The expectation is to follow this
with bills admitting Arizona and New
Mexico. The democrats in the Senate how
ever, are afraid of the admission of these
territories, lest they should turn out to be
republican, and sending republicans to the
Senate should change the complexion Of
that body. 1t is likely, therefore that the

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
The Bill Not to Come Up Before the
Holidays,

The committee on ways and means went
into session this morning for the purpose of
continuing their work all day and late into
the night, II necessary. to get through with
the bill. so as to be able to report it tomor-
row. Nothing has yet been done on the
internal revenue question, and the belief
OF some of the members of the committee
Is though no action on the subject has
been taken, that the consideration of the
whole question will be delayed in the House
until the internal revenue features have
been decided on. 1t Is expected, therefore,
that the bill will not come up in the House
before the holidays.
