SOUND TALK OF THE TALL SYCAMORE,

Washington, Jan. Ga delegation
which yesterday called upon Senator
voorhees,, chairman OF the senate COM
mittee on finance, in the einterest of higher
duties on the metal schedule, received
very little or no encouragement, and the
senator took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to express himself freely and for
chilly upon the subject of tho tariff in a
general way.
"If protection we're a Chinese WALL"
said the senator, "you manufacturers,
who believe in it, would not he satisfied
with any height to which it might be
raised, but would keep up the demand for
an increased elevation. You are con-
stantly demanding more from one con-
gress to another, until you have got it so
high you are ashamed to ask 1T in your
own name, but put it in the names of
those who you employ as laborers, when
as matter of fact, after the Mckinley
Ibill became law the wages of EN- ployes
were reduced in manufacturing institu-
tions in various parts of the county.
II see there are reports current that
the finance committee will report sub
stitute for the bill. I do not consider
this probable. This committee may
make changes in some of the schedules,
but the Wilson bill will be the basis of
its recommendation and will be the bill
which the senate will consider and pass"
To-DAY's HOUSE.
The Democrats are again without
quorum, and lacked dozen votes to-day
to take up the rules committee report on
the Wilson bill.
A second roll call in the house again
showed no quorum, eleven votes being
lacking.
TROUBLES IN HONOLULU.
Great reticence is shown in government
circles concerning the advices from Homo
lulu received by the Corwin. 1t was
learned, however, from official sources
that the dispatches practically confirm
everything stated in the cablegram re-
ceived by the Associated Pressf rom Aux
land and published exclusively on Friday
morning by papers receiving it's reports.
Officials of the state and navy depart
ments now accept the cable advices as
accurate.
In Capt. Munger's report to the treas
ury department on the arrival of the
revenue cutter Corwin at San Francisco,
he stated that the vessel sailed from
Honolulu, on the Gath of December. The
captains report contains nothing else of
interest. If the vessel left on the oath
she bring news from that place two days
later than that reported In the Associated
Press dispatch from Aukland.
Nothing can be learned as to the ex-
rE = l-Ii
action Of Minister Willis in his attempt
to restore the queen, but that there is a
condition of tension and great excite.
ment in Honolulu is certain.
