The hat manufacturers have commenced to move out of Danbury. Beckerle & Co.,, who have the largest hat factory in Con- necticut and who employ 800 hands, will remove to Newark, N. J. Shipments of machinery have been made and the re- moval will be done as expeditiously as possible, as the firm want to get located in their new quarters in time to start work on spring goods. For the past five years the pay roll of this firm has exceeded $400, ,000 annually, and the loss to Dan- bury by it's removal will be incalculable. In Newark the firm will run it's factory independently of trades union, something it has found impossible to do in Danbury. Many of the other manufacturers have their arrangements nearly completed for removing elsewhere. For week past third party has been making efforts to bring committees of hat manufacturers and the locked out matters together
 In the course of the tariff debate in the house Tuesday afternoon, MT. Wilson said that the workingmen's petition against the Wilson bill had been obtained by du- ress. MT. Apsley, (rep., Mass.) denied this. MT. Wilson, in reply, read letter from workingman in Lewiston, Me. , which he said was but a sample of many others of the same tenor which he had re- ceived, in which the writer stated that pe- titions had been sent around to all the mills, and all the men, women and chil- dren has been compelled to sign it. The petition, coming from the bosses, was equivalent to a command to sign it. Mr. Doolittle (rep., Washn, asked MT. Wilson if he meant to compare the intelligence of the American laborer with the intelligence of the slave-laborer of the south before the war. Mir. Wilson replied that no one with intelligence above that of the slave laborer would ask such question. Gong ocratic side. j. MT. Wilson soon afterwards stated that he wished to be courteous in everything, and he therefore withdrew his remarks about the gentleman from Wash ington. Daughter and applause.) Mir. Reed inquired sarcastically of MT. Wilson if he would withdraw democratic approval of his remark. Republican applause.)
 -(Hartford Times, Jan 9th)
 Important news comes to-day from Ha- waii. Minister Willis had made formal request of the provisional government that it resign in favor of the restoration of the overthrown queen. This request is squarely refused by the provisional government. They say this was the first official intimation they have ever had of Mir. CleEeland's policy concerning the islands; and add that they have never given any authority to the United States to control the government of Hawaii. They deny that they even asked ex-Min- ister Stevens to land any marines last January to aid in overthrowing the cor rupt monarchy. The discredited ex-queen has signed the agreement sent to her from Washington (concerning amnesty, etc. ), and would be very glad to get back to the overturned throne, if President Cleveland will only set it up for her. But congress will have a word to say about that. Mean time, Minister Willis does not even tell Admiral Irwin what his secret instruc- tions are, and these are to come as the first news to the United States in one of his dispatches to Secretary Gresham. The officers of the United States marines in the harbor of Honolulu have signed an agreement that they will execute any or der to act as force, only under written protest. Mir. Cleveland has not made a creditable piece of work in this Hawaii plan of his, and it will probably never be carried out.
