CURIOUS COMPLICATIONS.

CURIOUS CoMpLe CATIONS.
Washington, Jan. 2O.-The situation
arising from the resignation of Senator
Walthall, Of Mississippi, is curious. There
seems to be no doubt that, even if he
were anxious to do 30, he could not ten
der his resignation including the term
for which he had iuat been elected, but
which does not begin until March 4,
1895 He could resign this pfsition as
soon as it has begun, but in tt&a case the
appointment would have to be made by
the governor, a condition which neither
the senator nor the people Of his state
regard with favor. His friends are uTg-
ing him to plan to resume his seat in the
senate in March, 1895, and, should his
health improve in the meantime, it is
thought likely he will do SO at least for q
time.
PROPOSED FOE REVENUE ONLY.
The contest over the sugar schedule is
likely to be precipi:atsd on Monday net
by Representative Harter, of Ohio. He
will on that day move an amendment to
the Wilson bill doing away with the sugar
bounty and putting tax of ] cent per
pound on sugar. This proposed duty is
intended for revenue only. Representa-
tive Johnson, of OHIO, will cham pion alb
solute free sugar without bounty or duty.
The Louisiana interests are preparing for
a hot discussion.
MINISTER TuUEsToN's RETURN.
Minister Thurston, from Hawaii, mr.
rived in Washington this afternoon. He
was met in Pittsburg by reporter of the
Associated Press who rode with him 1876
miles. Concerning the news fram Hawaii
published this morning, he said that while
the news brought by the Monowai was
later than anything he had, the dispatches
contained nothing gofimportance. He knew
nothing of the demand alleged to have
been made by Minister Willis or Presi-
dent Dole for the return of all correspon-
dencs on the bject of restoration, and
preferred not to comment on mere rumor.
To-pAY's HOUSE.
At IL to-day the consideration of the
tariff bill WAS resumed in the house, the
pending amendment being that offered
by Representative Henderson, of Iowa, TO
substitute the existing rates or agricul-
tural products for the agricultural
schedule of the Wileon bill. Representa-.
tive Wilson asked ananimous consent
that on Tuesday three hours be set aside
for the discussion Of the coal schedule
and three hours for the iron schedule.
After some parleying this was agreed TO.
Representative MoRae, Domccrat, of
Arkgneae, gave noti 70 that he would cn
Monday offer an amendment TO strike out
the sugar bounty.
The amendment of Henderson TO sub
stitute the present law for the agricultut-
raj schedule, was lost by a vote OF 1lS
to So.
FAVORABLE TO CHICAGO.
The house sub committee on public
buildings to-day agreed to report favor

tive McCann's bill for the erection Of &

NogE CORRESPONDENCE.
The president, in brief note of trans
initial, to-day submitted to congress tha
attest correspondence relating to Hawaii.
[t comprises some brief notes of Minister |
Willis to Sec. Gresham, which are unim-
portant, but the chief features of which are
;he letters passing between Minister Willis
md President Dole. In one the minister
of the ntterances of President /
Dole as rejecting on the president Of the
United States. Another letter from Prest.
Dole, in is one which he specially in
