WASHINGTON, D. c., November 12.-
Unless he has met with some delay,
United States Minister Willis has now
been in Honolulu a week, and it is not
improbable that he has carried into
effect the instructions he took with
him and which have been so we'll kept
a secret on this side of the Pacific. If
he has done so, the steamer which left
Honolulu Yesterday will bring the news
OF the consequent events and will reach
an outlet to the rest OF the world with
1t on next Saturday.
Whatever recourse the administra-
tion may have determined upon to Sc
cure the restoration Of Queen Liliouka-
lani, it is very evident that Secretary
Gresham does not expect that extreme
measures will have to be resOrted to.
The course proposed to be pursued
seems TO be TO request the present gov
ernment in the name of the United
States to give way quietly to the restor-
alton of the Queen. The Hawaiians In
this city are very firm in their conyic-
tion that the government will refuse TO
yield TO any such geRtle persuasion as
that They assert their earnest belief
that 1t will require at least.a show OF
force to induce them to resign the reins
Of authority. By others the hope is en-
tertained that any sort Of assurance
from Minister Willis that the moral In
fuence of the United States government
would be exsrted to maintain in sta
BILE government by the Queen and TO re-
strain it from such vagaries and eX-
cesses as that Of the constitution she
sought to have adopted in January last,
might tempt the members OF the Pro-
visioual government to step aside and
trust to the United States to preserve
their interests In its own way.
This is what Preiident Cleveland and
Secretary Gresham hope for, though
what assurances they have authorized
the Minister TO give as to future influ-
ence by this government in the islands
Is not known.

Mr.. Wilson receives daily hundreds OF
letters and postal cards containing all

and the best means Of raising revenue
for the government. Most OF these are
from persons who plainly know
little or nothing about the sub
iect on which they write
aud their communications are OF char
acter that require little attention and
no answer. These communications Mr..

If the Fight Was to Come Oh'-Hss Re-
fused Many Tempting OGers In Order
to Meet COrbett.
New YORK, November 12.-Bowden
and Mason, who are the representatives
of the sporting element in Florida, were
expected to arrive in this city some
time to-day. They telegraphed to Mr..
]. E. Rouse, who is Mr.. r. X. Fox's
representative. that they would arrive
this morning at the Cosmopolitan.
Mr.. Rouse awaited their arrival from
an early hour to-day, but about four
o'clock In the afternoon he went up
town in company with an Associated
Press reporter. After several careful
inquiries at the up town hotels, 1t was
found that the Jacksonville sports had
not reached the city.
Billy Thompson, who Is Charley
MitcheIrs manager, was seen on
Broad dway this afternoon. he seemed
highly insulted when asked II he
thought the fight would come of.
Look here" said he, "Mitchell has
received many tempting offers within
the last few weeks and he has declined
them all, because they would interfere
with his coming fight with Corbett.
Manager w. A. Edwards offered
Mitchell 500, 900 for ten-weeks tour
with the 'Romany Rye Company and
produced SIS, 900 in cash and the
other SIS, 900 to be put up the next day
in a certified check, but Mitchell would
not accept il.
"This looks as If Mitchell wants to
fight when ne refused such tempting
offer"
"Wlll you positively fight at Jackson
yilleY" was asked Mr.. Thompson.
"Why, certainly" he replied, 1--WE
are ready at any moment to sign arti-
cles of agreement and all we require is
five weeks to prepare for the encoun-
ter"
"a meeting will be held tomorrow
afteroon at 3 o'clock to complete the
arrangements for the Corbett-Mitchell
fight. Until the Jacksonville represen-
tatives have had q conversation with
Corpett and Mitchell or their managers,
the latter will not consider the proposal
of Fisky Barnett, who offers by wire a
purse OF $50, 600 for the proposed fight
to take place at Butte City, Montana.

The Mayor of Jacksonville Wants to
Know II He Can Prevent It Taking
Place There.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, November II.
Mayor Fletcher has asked City Atter-
ney Barr for an opinion as to whether
or not the city Of Jacksonville has, un-
der it's charter, the power to prevent
the Corbett-Mitchell fghttrom taking
place here, and the Attorney General
has informed him that it has not. In
an interview tonight the City Attorney
said the Mayor had instructed
him that should there be no sufficient
act now in force, to prepare an ordl-
nance covering the matter, and II nee
essary be will call special meeting OF
the city council at which the ordinance
may be made law.
But the Jurisdiction of the municipal
government does not extend beyond the
city limits and there are at least half
dozen available spots within easy access
of the city. Right across the ST. johns
river, in South Jacksonville, with
ferryboat and railroad bridge connect
ing il with the city, and from there
three lines Of railroad extend to May
port, Pablo Beach and down the east
coast three hundred miles. SU the pros
pectlve action Of the city government
OF little significance as regards the
fight. Every possible means will be
employed to keep the contest from be-
ing held in Jacksonville.
Meanwhile Governor Mitchell says
nothing and the sheriff of this county is
understood to be awaiting some word
from the Chief Executive indicating his
Interpretation of the law.

WASHINGTON, d. c., November H.
1t is learned tonight that the Demo-
cratic members of the Ways and Means
Committee are determined that the
forthcoming tariff bill shall not be sub
mitted to a caucus before 1t comes up
in the House. for the reason that they
want any opposition which may exist to
tariff reductions TO show itself openly
and not be allowed to skulk behind the
closed doors of caucus.
If there are Democrats not in sympa-
thy with the party policy the Ways and
Means Committee wants to compel them
to show their attitude publicly.
1t also seems settled that the plan OF
imposing an income tax will be adopted
because it is clear that under the revis-
ed tariff the revenues will fall far short
Of meeting the expenses of the govern
ment. The income tax will meet what
ever deficiencies occur from year to
year and it can be changed by each
Congress without the business disturb
ance which changes In the tariff might
cause.

BosToN, Mass, Nov. ls.-James H.
Eckels, Comptroller Of the Currency,
came to Boston to-day, and is stopping
at the Parker House. he is is 10 ad-
dress the bankers OF Boston tomorrow
evening. To a reporter of the Asso-
ciated Press be said in conversation this
evening concerning the late financial
depression and its consequences:
"You can imagine my position when
mention the fact that there are usual
ly from eight to ten failures of national
banks year, while / had assumed my
position when they began, one after
another until in four months there
were $50. ! am glad TO say that OF this
number about ninety have resumed
business. The withdrawal OF money on
deposit went steadily on for six months
and when tell you that
over $3.50, 100000 were Withdrawn
In that time from national banks alone.
not including the amounts withdrawn
from State and private Institutions, you
can appreciate what contraction OF
the currency there has been. The repeal
OF the Sherman silver act has be much
to do with alleviating the situation.
There was change for the better even
when IL passed the House. All business
men will agree that confidence inereas-
ed as the prospects OF repeal grew
brighter.
"At present the country is Ia the con-
dition OF man who has been sick. He
is recovering. but IL Is slowly. Silver
repeal was prolonged so long that II is
not recuperating with the repidity II
would otherwise have. look for de-
cided Advancement about the first OF
January"
In regard to the tariff and the depres-
sion he called attention 10 the fact that
those industries which would be most
affected by the tariff are those reviving
most rapidly.
"In New England" he self ..take
the Amoskeag mills in MSdchester fof
example, aud In Pennsylvania, II Is
the iron and steel industry which Is
recovering first from the effects Of the
stagnaton In business"
Regarding the recent elections be
said:
"There is always q reaction against
an administration when II mas been 10
power a year, and this yevr 10 no ex-
ception."

Probable Action OF Congress on the

COLUMBUS, O., November 12.-Mr.
Cultivate, member OF Congress from
this district, being asked what effect the
results OF the election will have upon
tariff legislation said:
''They will no doubt have some 10
1uence upon members when they come
to consider the details OF the bill, but
the tariff will be revised In thu direc-
tion of the pledges of the Democratic
party. OF course, the conditions OF the
business of the country will be careful
ly considered by Congress while framing
such legislation"
Mr.. Cultivate says 1t would be CIV
ing the big Republican majorities q
wrong significance to say that the peo-
ple who voted for reduction OF the
tariff last fall have changed their
minds. He attributes the result In this
State to dissatisfaction, as claimed, OF
soldiers with the pension department.;
disgust over the neglect OF the admins
tration to promptly change federal
officers, and the delay of the Senate to
act on the silver purchase clause.
Many of the material increases OF the
Mckinley bill will be reduced. Some
of them will be wiped out entirely.
Wool and some Of the raw materials
will be placed on the free list. We
must, bear in mind, frame bill TO pro-
vide ample revenues, bearing as lightly
as possible upon the tax payers. or
course the uncertainty as to what kind
of tariff or how much OF cut In the
rates OF duty there is to be, will affect
business somewhat, but hundreds of the
manufactures that were closed four
months ago have resumed operation.
The sooner some revision is made, the
better it will be for the people.

New YORK, November 1e.--The
FeruJd's Montevidso dispatch says:
Word aas just been received from Rio
Janeiro that all the banks were closed
to-d,.y and that bombardment Of the
city By Admiral MellO was renewed.
There was some heavy fighting be-
tween the rebel forces under Admiral
MeHo and President PeiEOto's loyal
tr> ops at Nictheroy, the most populous
suburb Of the island, Wednesday.
The principal point Of attack was
for the Uncaughne, but the fire from
the fort finally sank a rebel torpedo
boat, though not before the insurgents
guns had inflicted considerable damage
upon the buildings Of Nictheroy.
The Republican newspaper Of Rio re-
ported that the royal troops have been
defeated in MarcOa.
Later reports from Rio say that every
two or three days for some time past
there has been an artillery duel between
the loyal and rebel forts in which the
ships Of MellO's squadron rarely join.
The revOlutiOnists have gained a foot
hold on land In the suburb Of Saretta,
and have held IL In spite Of considerable
skirmiShng. Their white flag can be
seen from Rio at several points.
e, One OF PeixotO's land batteries has
zen silenced also.
An Ex-Governor of the State Of Rio
Janelro has promised that if Mello's
men succeed in Wrestling the possession
Of Nictheroy from the loyal troops he
will furnish the rebels with a large
quantity Of arms and ammunition with
which 20 equip a land force. he has
