THE WILSON BILL PASSED
TIE MEASURE ADOPTED BY A
VOTE OF 2O4 TO l4O.
One of the Most Remarkable Scenes
Ever Witnessed in Congress-The
Galleries Packed to Overlooking
-Messrs. Reed, Crisp and Wilson
Close the Debate.

Ever Witnessed in Congress-The
Galleries Packed to Overlooking
-Messrs. Reed, Crisp and Wilson
Close the Debate.
After four weeks of brilliant debate, at the
conclusion of one of the grandest, most i'm
posing and most impressive scenes ever wit
messed in the American Capitol, the Wilson
Tariff bill passed the House of Representa-
tives by vote of 204 to 40.
The closing scenes of the great tariff baltic
o. 1894 in the House will everbe remembered
by the vast throng that witness sd them.
Seldom have the ceremonies attending the
Inauguration of President attracted to the
Capitol such crowds as thronged its corri-
dOrs. The session of the House be-
gan at II a.. NJ, but long before that hour
the House end of the Capitol was packed
with a surgin2 mass of humanity, every in
dividual IN it struggling for a chance to Sc
cure point of vantage from which the
scenes on the floor could be witnessed.
The public galleries were quickly filed to
overflowing. Every seat was occupied, and
all the available standing room in the aisles
was filled with men and women.
The Capitol police were powerless to handle
the crowd, and a detail from the city police
force had 10 be called in to prevent a crush
in the corridors on the gallery floor that
might have resulted in fatalities.
The pressure for admission to the private
galleries was so great that soon after the
House was called to order, the doorkeapers
were instructed to admit the families OF
members to the floor, aud soon every avail
able inch of space back of the seats was
occupied. Many members gave up their
seats, and the gay dresses of women gave an
unwonted color to the scene.
Proceedings in the Senate lost attraction
for members of that body, and the re We're
more Senators in the House than in their
own chamber.

More Correspondence Sent to Con-

The President sent in short message to
Congress about Hawaiian matters.
He transmitted letter receives from
Minister Willis in reference to the reply of
President Dole to Mr.. Wiliis's request for
specific answers to what Mr.. Cleveland
termed Mr.. DOle's "moS extraordinary
document.
In forwarding the letter to the President
Secretary Gresham says that dispatches 25.
&c and 27, received from Mr.. Willis, are not
inclosed. They relate solely t0 routine lega-
tion matters and the Minister'S accounts.
The letter of Mr.. Willis to Mr.. Gresham
follows
''LEGATIoN OF THE UNITED STATES,
Honolulu, H. l., January II, 1893.
"Hon. w. Q. Gresham, Secretary of State
''Sir-On yesterday, at $50 D. M, I re-
ceived the Hon. S. B. DOles answer to my
letter Of January 1, requesting him, at his
earliest convenience to give mo the specifl-
cations contained in prior letter. His an
swer is about fifty pages of closely-written
official paper, and has been delivered to me
too late to either copy or reply to in time for
the steamer leaving at 2 a. m. to-day.
'There is one extract, however, to which
think your attention should be called where
in it is stated this Government has been and
watchfulness. and large additional expense
which but for such attitude, would have been
unnecessary.
THE emphasis above is mine. In a
previous letter of December 9th Minister
Dole had stated that the Government Of
flcers have been placed and still continue in
a condition of defense and preparation for
siege, and the community has been put into
a state of mind bordering on terrorism The
emphasis above Is mine. Some portions of
the letters from which these extracts are
made confirm the above statements while
others seem to negative them. With this
explanation I submit them for your consid-
Grafton.
''The next steamer leaves here February
Sd, which would place you in possession of
Mr.. Dole's letter and my purposed reply
thereto about February 18th. Very respect
fully, ALBERT 8. WILLIS"
Immediately after the reading Of the jO"r
nal n the House Mr.. Catchings brought in a
special order for the consideration of the
Hawaiian resolutions.

OH, 'RAsTUs!
A Big New Yorker in Jail on Very
Grave Charge-In Murder
efs' Row.

New York, Feb. 22.-Erastus Wiman
capitalist,and railroad magnate, was ar.
rested late yesterday afternoon, at the in-
stance of r. G. Dun, and in default of
$25,O00 bail was committed to the tombs.
The grand jury has returned indictments
against him. for forgery.
A SENSATION.
When the town this morning read the
startling head lines telling of the arrest
and imprisonment of Erastus Wiman
they naturally expected to learn that by
some means or another, which seem ac-
cessible to men of standing under arrest,
that Wiman had been comfortably
roomed by the warden during the night.
The shock of the announcement of his
arrest was therefore increased when it be-
came known that,
LIKE A COMMON FELoN,
he had been locked up in quarters in
murderers' row. note was sent to
Wiman, who is well known upon News pa
per Row, asking him for some expression
as to the charges against him and the
situation in which he finds himself placed.
The communication also asked Wiman if
he would care to see his newspaper &C.
quaintances. In response the prisoner
sent the following reply:
CAN'T SEE EN-.
II would be glad to do so,..but acti, O
under the advice of Gen. Ben njamin q.
Tracey, my counsel, will make no sta,1-
ment until my turn comes. am sorry to
deny anything to newspaper men, but
must adhere to that determination for
the present. When the ammunition of
the moving powers against me is ex-
hausted and they are done arraigning and
trying me in the newspapers it will then
be time for me to report"
NOT ANXIOUS TO GET OUT.
It looks now as if Wiman is not very
anxious to procure bail. About 10 o'clock
this morning he was visited by his son,
Hensy D. Wiman, son-in-law, Norman s.
Walker, jr., and another gentleman who
gave his name as Morrow. They re-
mained in consultation until II o'clock,
when Wiman, 1r., came out of the prison.
When asked by reporters if his father
would procure bail to-day young Wlman
replied:
II don't think he will. This is holi-
day, and don't think bail can be pro.
cured legally. My father seems to be
bearing up very well considering every
thing and efforts may be made tomorrow
to procure bail for him."
