TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
From Hawaii.

LONDON, Jan. "a dispatch from
Auckland, New Zealand, states that
Hawaiian advices to December % have
been received there. A number of po-
licemen in Honolulu, who had been re-
quested to bear arms in defense of The
provisional government had refused to
do so, and been dismissed from the
service. 1t is further stated that Min
lister Willis had written to the provis-
ional government declaring that they
must surrender Office, as the United
States had decided in favor of Queen
Lilioukalani, who hadagreed to grant
amnesty to the men who had over
thrown her government and to gov
ern the islands according to the pres
ent constitution. The provisional
government was preparing long re-
ply to Minister Willis's letter. The
Commercial ADVERTISER of Honolulu de-
clares that the action Of the US Con-
gress in asking for the papers had prac-
tically taken the entire affair into its
hands and President Cleveland's wish
es in the matter were not likely to car
ry. The article concludes that the pro-
visional government will not step down
unless force is used and this is not e1-
pected by any one on the islands now.

plauded this remark, but Mr.. Boutelle
persisted that it was his privilege to
make the point oforder. The Speaker
brushed aside this demand and put the
question on ordering the previous ques-
ton on the adoption of the report of
the committee on rules. On a stand
ing vote there were but 1873 affirmative
votes and no negative ones. Then the
yeas and nays were called. The yea
and nay vote on ordering the previous
question on the report of the commit
tee on rules resulted in disclosure of
the absence of quorum-every re-
publican member declining to answer
and one populist (Bell of Col) voting
no. The result asannounced was yeas,
1863; nays, 1-nine less than quorum.
A call of the House was then ordered.
The call was responded to by 273
members, and then the question wheth-
er all further proceedings under the
call should be dispensed with was put
by the Speaker who announced the
result as ayes, IA nays, 40, but Mr..
Reed thought that the vote had better
be taken by tellers, and he and Mr..
Catchings conducted the vote, which
was summed as 1876 to 10. AS the vote
did not require quorum, further pro-
ceedings under the call were dispensed
with and then another attempt was
made to get an effective. vote by yeas
and nays on securing the previous
question on the report of the committee
on rules.
The second vote on seconding the
previous question on the report of the
committee on rules proved to be as
abortive as the frst-falling short of a
quorum by 10. No republicans voted
and the democrats only mustered 1863.
The House then begun its third at
tempt to get vote by yeas and nays
on seconding the previous question on
the report of the committee on rules.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 5, 1894.

WASHINGTON. Jan. ., 1894.
The Honolulu news to December
22nd transmitted by way of Auckland,
New Zealand, and conveyed to that
point by the officers of the steamer AL
ameda. was discussed at the State
Department with much more interest
than credence this morning. The in
formation given out by the Alameda's
officers as to Mr.. Willis having at that
late date made a formal demand for the
surrender of the provisional govern
ment was almost doubted. Still, up to
December ODD, when the Alameda left
Honolulu, Mr.. Willis was acting under
instructions from Secretary Gresham
which left San Francisco by the revenue
cutter Corwin on December 18th. There
was nothing in these instructions to
prevent Mr.. Willis from asking the pro- Q,
yisional government to abdicate. All
that was necessary towards taking this
action was the consent of the Queen to
an act of amnesty. All interest now
cepters in the cutter Corwin, whose ar
rival at San Francisco has been expect
ed for several days. The Corwin is at
the disposal of Mr.. Willis and will sail
from Honolulu at his pleasure. Her

HOUSE.
There being no session of the Senate
to-day, all public interest in Congress
was transferred to the popular branch
and there was large attendance in
the galleries when the House met. No
sooner had yesterdays journal been
read than 31r. Boutelle was on his feet
putting questions to the Speaker as to
what had become of his privileged res
olution in relation to Hawaii. The
Speakers replies were not satisfactory
to Mr.. Boutelle, who continued to press
his point and was finally ignored by
the Speaker, who recognized Mr.. Catch
ings to present report from the COM
mittee on rules. The report was read
1t provides for sessions beginning at II
o'clock; that Immediately after the call
of committees each day the House shall
90 into committee of the whole to con-
slider the tariff bill; that general debate
shall close January 10th; that the bill
shall then be open to amendment
and the previous question on bill and
amendments shall be ordered at noon
January 25th. Provision is made for
night sessions and printing remarks.
When the order was read Mr.. Bur
rows, member of the committee on
rules, raised the question of cousidera-
ton; but the Speaker decided that the
question of consideration could not be
raised against a report of the committee
on rules.
Mr.. Boutelle said that he would ap-
peal from that decision, but the Speak
er declined peremptorily to entertain
the appeal. Mr.. Burrows, however,
proceeded to argue that, as the matter
had not been specially referred to the
committee on rules, that committee
was not authorized to report code of
rules for the House. That point was
also overruled by the Speaker, on pre-
cedents heretofore established.
That matter having been disposed of,
Mr.. Boutelle demanded that the Speak
err should inform him under what rule
the Speaker had declined to entertain
his appeal, and was told very pointed
ly that it was not the duty Of the Chair,
on the demand or request of the gentle
man from Maine, to furnish him with
any information. The democrats APP

LEGISLATIVE CAUCUs.-There was a
caucus held in Richmond last night to
decide as to the manner in which the
judge of the Court of Appeals should
be nominated. Senator Little, of
Fredericksburg, introduced aresolution
with this object in view, which in sub
stance had the following provision :
That all candidates for nomination
shall be placed in nomination before
the first bnllot is taken, and no further
nominations shall be made that when
the roll is called the members shall
vote for five candidates on first ballot,
and on subsequent ballots that they
shall vote for as many candidates as
places remain untitled that those can
didates receiving the highest vote, being
a majority of the caucus, shall be de-
clared the nominees of the caucus
that on any ballot on which there is no
nomination the lowest candidate shall
be dropped. Mr.. Saunders, of Frank
lin, introduced an amendment to this
resolution, which was defeated after
long argument and debate, and Mr..
Little's resolution was adopted with
out an amendment.

FRIDAY EVENING. JAN. 5, 1894.

ATTORNEY GENERAL OLNEY having
ruled that under a law passed by the
extra session of the present democratic
Congress and approved by democratic
President, fraudulent pensions must
continue to be paid during the investi-
CATION thereof, the democratic Commits
sioner of Pensions, northern man and
an ex-federal soldier, had nothing else to
do except toreverse his own rightful de-
cision to the contrary, and to sit
quietly and witness the plundering of
the Treasury without further protest.
The law referred to was passed in con-
sequence of the clamor of the G. a.
R., partisan and sectional organiza
ton. How can party whose leaders
have so little moral courage expect TO
retain the support of majority of the
people of the county?

Then, why, in the name Of democracy,

that protection, at the expense OF the
Virginia coal miners, by removing the
tax on their coal, in order that the
manufacturers referred to may import
their fuel free from Nova Scotia? Let
alone democracy, and the promises
upon which democratic majority in
Congress was elected, where is the nat

ton? and how can N'irginia's repre-
sentatives in Congress be expected to
support Mr.. Wilson's bill unless it be

SOME PARTISAN republican congress
men and newspapers say the democrats
in Congress are afraid to attempt the
discussion of the Hawaiian affair. If
they be, they are sorry set, for all the
rights, legality, justice and precedents
involved in the case are on their side
and no orators could have fairer field
oil which to display their talents.
When the time comes for arguing the
case it will doubtless be found that the
statement to which reference is made,
like many others from the same source,
has no other foundation than the i'll
imaginings of its authors.
