TIE MESSAGE.
1t win Endeavor to Show That Lii Was,
Cyerthrown.
Ey Acts. sanctioned by Minister Stevens;
That Il Received the Approval OF tho
United States-CieyeIand Thinks It -
Wrong, and 1t Should 30 Undone.

WASHINGTON, Dec 15-It is under
stood that the presidents message on
the Hawaiian affair will be sent into
congress after the cabinet meeting FRI
day and the sailing of the Alameda
from San Francisco.
Secretary Gresham was equally reti-
cent on the subject Thursday when
questioned about the message. and
said he had no.informa ton in that con-
nection to impart.
The message had been prepared, and
the correspondence was at the white
house, ready for transmission with it.
At Tuesdays cabinet meeting it was
discussed, and it was decided that it go
to the senate practically in the same
form as originally prepared, there hav-
ing been no change In Hawaii of i'm
portance which would in any way
effect the tenor of the presidents state
ments
The president will attempt to show
that the queen was overthrown by acts
sanctioned by Minister Stevens; that,
as they received the approval OF the
United States, and are considered by
the present administration unjustifed
and unfricndly, they must be undone.
The president will say that Minister
Willis was instructed to first decline
formally the proposition Of annexation,
and to then announce that the United
States demanded that the queen be re-
stored to power peacefully. That if
she was unwilling to be seated without
the assurance of this government that
she would be protected from harm, then,
to take no steps, but await instructions
from the United States
The president will say that Minister
Willis has found the provisional gov
eminent much stronger than stated.
ALI conditions are such as to prevent
the carrying out of his instructions
The president having exhausted the
prerogativcs Of his Office to bring about
a settlement with Hawaii without call
ing upon the naval force to assist it,
there is no other resort for the presi-
dent but to leave the question for the
further action of congress.

Are Interested in the Proposed Tariff
Changcs--Ambnssadors and ministers In
Washington Keeping Wntchful Eye.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1o.-The proposed
tariff changes will very much affect the
trade with other countries. Ambassa-
doris and ministers located at Wishing
ton are keeping watchful eye On
every phase of the tariff Development.
Most Of the foreign Representatives
have secured copies Of the bill reported
by the ways and means committee for
transmission to their respective gov
ernments 1t will Interfere with conn
lnercial treaties and compel an entire
REIMBURSEMENT of our treaty relations.
This is the true case of the Brazil
reciprocity treaty negotiated by Nj:
Blaine; Spain, with which Gen. Foster
affected q treaty and other South
American republics.
Senior Don E,Delnuruaga, Spanish
minister sa i'd the treaty conferred, n1niiy
commercial benefits TO The United
States. American -four was admitted
into Cuba at much lower rate of duty
the shipment Of thousands Of barrels Of
American -four to Cuba. Many other
articles Of American production were
also admitted to Cuba and other Span
ish colonies either free OF duty CT ut re-
duced duties. On the other hand Cuba
received benefit by the remission Of
duty on raw sugar.
AS to tobacco also, the commercial
relations between the countries will
undoubtedly he aided by reduction Of
duties.
The japanese minister is Interested
in the progress Of the tariff bill. Atsthe
legation it is said japanese silks are
used in enormous quantities in this
country. As tho silk schedule Of the
tariff bill is very lightly touched there
is likely to be little change in the Jap
anese expectation.

Coin Disappearance.

Nobody ever stops to find out
what becomes Of all the pennies
annually coined by the government,
but, as a matter Of fact they are be-
ing continually turned out at the
rate Of several millions a month.
Being of such small value little
care is taken of them and the gov
eminent is called upon for more.
The demand is a source of profit to
the government, as it buys the
pennies in blank form from a Con-
necticut firm at the rate Of 1000
for 81 and merely has to coin them
at the Philadelphia mint. Among
the millions of small coins which
have mysteriously disappeared are
100000 old copper pennies,
100000 bronze two-cent pieces,
100000 three-cent nickle pieces,
and 5000 of the old copper half
cents, Of which not one has ever
been returned to the government.
Samples of these coins turn up once
in while, but they are extremely
rare.
