Gresham declines TO impsrt any infcrma-

OF the policy toward Hawaii at the eaoi-
net meeting Tuesday seems to have given
information TO some members Of the si-
ninsstration. and bits Of talk on the sub
Iect have triekled through 20 the public
since then. IL is evident the admins
iFation policy is not friendly 10 the pro-
visionai government OF the islands or for
annexation to the United States. There 10
reason to believe the provisional govern
ment in Hawaii is regarded a. result Of
the landing Of marines from the Boston in
Honolulu. Well informed person who
comment on these facts point our the diff
hcuity Of the United States government
deposing the provisional government in q
diplomatic way after having formally
recognized IL as the lawful government of
the islands, received its accredited diplo-
matte representatives and accredited O
United States minister 20 it.
There seems no authority for believing
the United States minister has been given
power 10 exercise anything more than
moral influence to secure re-establishment
OF the condition in the islands that OBJ
tanned before the recent revolution. but
such influence is to be tried. Those we'll
acquainted with the islands believe no
mere moral suasion will ever serve TO de-
pose the provisional government.
The United States navy will view the
effort to restore Qneen Liliuokalani with
little satisfaction. The officers of the navy
have been ardent annexationists. and the
opinion has prevailed among them that
Queen Liiiuokalani represented British
interests in the islands. Today was diplo-
matte day at the state department. and
among the secretary's callers was Frank
@ Hastings. Hawaiian charge d'affaires.

WAsHIxsroN CIrr, Nov. e.-The commit
tee appointed by the convention of the
tobacco manufacturers of the United
States to appear before the ways and
means committee and protest against any
increase In the tax on Manufactured to-
bacco was accorded hearing this after
noon by Chairman McMillin, of the SUBJ
committee on internal revenue. Mr..
Spence, of Cincinnati, acted as spokes-
man. He said any increase OF the tax on
manufactured tobacco would be inimical
20 the interests of both manufacturers and
growers of tobacco by reason of lessening
the consumption. The committee recon-
meuded repeal of the law of 1890. which
permits the sale of leaf tobacco to the con-
sumner without payment of taxes. They
argued that repeal of this law would
largely increase the governments revenue
from tobacco.
McMiliin gave no intimation of the In
tentions of the committee on ways and
means with reference to the tobacco sched-
ule, but 1t has been frequently rumored
that majority of the committee fayors
increase of the tobacco tax as a means of
supplying the necessary revenues of the
government Messrs. McMiIlin, Turner,
Breckenridge, Bynum and Montgomery, of
the ways and means committee, today had
a conferences with Secretary Carlisle with
reference to tobacco and other schedules.

took occasion to protest against the new
