special order fixing the limits Of debate
proceeded Mr.. Wilson's opening speech.
The chairman of the ways and means
committee began at 3,15, and after speak
ing one hour and a half was so exhausted
that he asked the indulgence Of the house
10 complete his remarks today. He was
frequently interrupted with applause,
and his speech evidently made deep i'm
preston. The evening session was de-
voted to general debate on the bill.

score Of resolutions have already been In
troduced on the subject, but the end is not

Secretary Gresham Denies knowledge

, NEW YORK, Jan. 0.--The New York
Press publishes the following. 1.-THE
Hawaiian mystery may be solved today.
A key to the riddle comes to The Press In
q private letter from Honolulu, dated
Dec IA, ten days before the Corwin's
sudden departure. The letter Is from DIR.
~. r. Crossman, well known citizen at
Honolulu, whose information has always
been highly trustworthy.
DIR. Crossman's letter unfolds the plans
OF the royalists and the British parties in
Honolulu few days before Minister
Willis expected demand, in the name OF
the United States, for the surrender of the
provisional government. DR.. Crossman
snoloses memorandum In writing by
one OF the petty officers on board the Brit
fsh gunboat Champion, now at Honolulu.
The memorandum Ia as follows:
III. M. s. Champion is preparing to
hoist the British ensign over Hawaii. On
Tuesday, Dec, 2, when off shore, she had
gun drill and sighting on the buildings
where the provisional government troops
are stationed and their ammunition
stored, and on the police headquarters. 1t
Ii the intention that az soon as the queen
shall be restored by the United States
troops and they may retire, the queen Is
to appeal to the British minister, Major
Woodhouse, for protection. The English
nag is to be hoisted and n protectorate de-
clared over Hawaii. Troops will be landed
from the Champion under the protection
OF the British guns"
DIR. Crossmnn writes that such a plan
should not be surprise to anybody be-
cause 1t is quite in accord with all previ-
Gus ideas of British seizure, and neither
more or less than the execution Of ideas
for many years cultivated by the British
interests. The letter proceeds:
at is well known that Mr.. Theophilus
H. Davies has been intriguing for upward
of twelve months to attain such result,
and 1t is evident that subsequent to the
queens first refusal to Minister Willis to
submit TO a restora tion to her throne un-
less sustained there by the force of Ameri-
can arms, her British friends have been
advising her to accept Minister Willis
proposal, and thus gain her restoration by
the power of the United States diplomacy
and arms, after which, the provisional
government being out, she could promptly
apply to Great Britain for support and
turn the islands and their dependencies
over to Great Britain. /.
This could not be regarded in the light
Of an affront to the United States by
Great Britain, because President Cleve-
land, had, for the United States, with
drawn the treaty and rejected all overtures
looking for annexation"
