the employees of the Toledo. 81. Louis and
Kansas City Railroad, which has been in
the hands of a receiver since May 90. The

appointment of Receiver Galloway wages
have been systemati caly reduced until at
present it is impossible to provide for
their families. This is the first action Of

CLEVELAND is SORE.
He Thought He Would Find a
Defender in Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-The admins
tration makes no attempt to conceal its
dissatisfaction at the half-hearted support
which its Hawaiian policy receives in the
House, as well as in the Senate. Presl-
dent Cleveland was amazed and disap-
pointed on Tuesday when the Democratic
majority, simply by its force of numbers.
overruled Boutelle and put an end to the
Hawaiian discussion for the day. He had
hoped that there would be found some
Democratic members who would be loyal
enough TO the administration TO repel the
attacks of the Republicans, instead of
which he found to his dismay an un-
willingness on the part of his supporters
in the House to do anything.
He is SO anxious that the Hawaiian
policy shall be defended and ultimately In
dorsed by his party that he desires the
question to be brought up immediately
after the reassembling Of Congress next
year. and he even has authorized Secre-
tary Carlisle to confer with Chairman
Wilson Of the Ways and Means Commit
tee for the arrangement of some pro-
gramme by which the McCreary resolu-
tions shall take precedence of the tariff
bill in the House. Up to the present time
Wilson has displayed an unaccountable
obstinacy and has refused Carlisle's re-
quest that Wednesday and Thursday after
New Year, the two first days of the ses-
sion after the holidays, shall be given over
TO the Hawaiian question. bu: Congress
man McCreary was able 10 announce to-
day that he would call up his resolution
within the first ten days after the HOLIDAYS
and that two days would be set aside for
full discussion. and this indicates that
Chairman Wilson has yielded to some ex.
tent to Secretary Carlisle's imporrup tiles.

President Cleveland does not entertain a
very high estimate Of his chairman of the

McCreary. and instead OF communicating
with the members of the committee through
McCreary, the President displays fiatter-
ing preference for Congressman Rayner of
Maryland. The programme of the admin
istratioD's defense, when the McCreary
resolution comes up, accords to McCreary
the empty honor due his position as chair

statement to an exhaustive review of the

Rayner will assume the burden OF the
