WAsHiNGToN, January 7.-Congress-
man Anderson has introduced in the
House bill directing the Secretary of
tho Treasury to pay ont OF any moneys
not otherwise appropriated, the sum OF
S51b 10 Chas. l.. Pyles, OF Wost VIr-
giuia, in satisfaction OF claim growing
out OF the war. MIR. Pyles' claim was
passed on and allowed by the United
States Court OF Claims, but Congress
must now appropriate the money To
satisfy the judgment.
Congressman Wilson has not yet re-
commended for appointment any of the
candidates for the Keyser postmaster
ship. H. is understood that MIR. Wilson
i8 averss TO deciding between the claims
OF the several rival candidates for the
place and desires them to settle amorg
themselves who shall have the Office.
Mr.. Wilson said to-day that he had had
no time the past week to give the mat
ter any attention.
BY a typographical error the other
day Washington dispatch 10 the REG
lSTER was made TO say that Congress
man Capehart "insisted" that Con-
gresham Anderson should aid him I'm
securing the Insertion In the River and
Haroor bill OF an item appropriating
money Tor survey OF the locks and
dams on the Little kanawha river with
view TO their purchase by the gov
ernment. What the correspondent
wrote was that Mr.. Capehart expected
the cooperation OF Mr.. Anderson. who
is on the River and Harbor Committee,
In the matter. Mr.. Capehart does not
try To bulldoze his colleagues, and Of
course he will have the aid OF Mr.. Al
derson In the matter. But there is not
much chance Of inducing the River and
Harbor Committee to grant any appro-
priations for new works at this session.
The disposition OF the committee is to
cut ali appropriations down to tbs low
est notch.
Congressman Pendleton called on the
President yesterday, accompanied by
Mr.. Andrew Edmiston, OF Weston, and
Or. w. Il. Newton. OF Sutton, who
wished TO shake the hand Of Grover aud
give him a new years greeting. The
President was very cordial To the West
Virginians, and when the Republican
talk OF carrying the State was mem
toned he said that after a dozen years
OF that sort OF talk he didn't think the
Democracy OF the State ought TO be
frightened by 10.

REPUBLICANS CONFER
To Decide what They win DO Abont the
Hawaiian Muddle

hawaiian Muddle.
WAsHSGToN, January "A confer
ence was held this afternoon at which a
number OF prominent Republicans were
present to decide II possible a course Of
proceedings by that party in Congress on
the Hawaiian question, due 20 the latest
advices from Honolulu giving the action
OF Minister Willis, in which he called
upon the provisional government 70
surrender.
IL is understood that some verv rad o.
iCal views were given expression to and
that the question OF the imueachment
Of President Cleveland for his course
was brought MP. This course, however,
was not seriously considered by any
one, and the cooler headed members
advocated conservative stand and
their views finally prevailed They
argued that 10 would be much wiser
for the Republicans 20 wait a
day or 90 until absolute and
definite Information was received from
Hawaii, which would probably be not
later than next Wednesday.
The conference finally adjourned
without taking any definite action. ex-
cept 90 agree that there should be no
concerted movement for the present.
House 10 would De impossible for inn
peachmaut proceedings 90 be begun a.
this time. Speaker Crisp has decided
that nothing is in order until decision
is reached regarding the order brought
I'm from the Committee on Rules for the
consideration of the Wilson bill I'm
parchment proceedings must originate
IN the House, and therefore 10 would
seem that this course must Oe blocked
until the question now before the House
! IS decided.
Secretary Gresham was seen a. a late
| hour tonight and stated that there vas
| absolutely nothing 90 be given out On
| the Hawaiian question and that there
would not be until the arrival Of the
mail advices. This would seem % cOu-
trovert the theory that the President
/ intends 10 send a special message to
/ Congress tomorrow on the Hawaiian
/ question, including the correspondence
received from the COrwin.
10 is understood nOT that the dis
: patches obtained are rather meagre aud
| that the adj ministratiOn prefers 20 walt
/ for full advices before making anything
public.
