THE HAWAIIAN NEWS.
Comment at the Capitol and at the
State Department.

Although Secretary Gresham studiously
refuses to discuss the Hawaiian question
some Of his associates in the department
became q little more communicative this
afternoon than they were In the morning
In regard to the latest reports about the
situation. Several authoritative statements
were made, one that the State Department
had not received any advices from Homo
lulu via Auckland: another was that Il
had Received no advices from Honolulu
since the last steamer from there arrived
at San Francisco; stin another was that
Minister Willis instructions. per CorwTtn.
have been communicated to Congress and
are known to the public. and still another
was that the State Department has no
knowledge Of any change in the situation
az Honolulu and that IL has no information
since the Corwtn arrived at Honolulu
Senator Hoar's Views.
Senator Hoar remarked that Il showed
that Mr.. Fryes fears that the President
would not carry out the suggestions con-
tanned in the closing paragraph Of his mes
sage were well grounded. and that the reso-
luton he introduced, requesting the Presi-
dent to direct the Representatives Of the
United states TO remain strictly neutral in
all things and take no further part In the
business until Congress had acted, was Q
speak.
prominent member OF the committee of
foreign relations of the Senate said that
the news looked very much as IL, despite
the Presidents reference OF the whole sub
5ect to Congress. Mr.. Willis had been in
structed to 60 ahead soon as the queen
agreed to the conditions Mr.. Cleveland i'm
posed, and exercise the moral force of the
United States In urging the provisional gov.
eminent to retire from power.
Mfsdtrected Diplomacy.
Mr.. Chandler looks upon the act OF Mr.
Willis as the last scene in this chapter OF
''misdirected diplomacy and says that he
il inclined to think that IL Mr.. Willis has
made this demand he has done It In a for
NAL manner. and that the provisional gov
eminent will no doubt take the papers, file
them away and preserve their own lives
without regard to the queens offer OF am
nesty and. while they are about II. preserve
their form Of government too.
Mr. Hastings. charge d. affairs OF the Ha-
waiian legation during the absence OF Min
lister Thureton, was at the Capitol TIN
afternoon, but he declined to discuss the
news. He expects advices from his gov.
eminent on a steamer that will arrive AZ
Victoria on the eth. bringing news from
Honolulu up to January 2.

She OuIt pealIng wIth HIm.

A South Side storekeeper played a
Joke on customer few days ago.
This customer was woman who would
order twenty-six pounds OF sugar fire.
quently at one time. She would very
frequently not have the money 10 pay,
and the grocer would have to carry the
sugar back to his store, A day or two
ago the woman ordered twenty-six
pounds Of sugar, as usual. The grocer
thought he would not be fooled again,
so he filled paper -four sack with snow
and went TO the customers house with 1t,
and she said as was her custom mostly,
she hadn't the money then TO pay for
it, The grocer said he would leave the
sugar that time. The customer was
overjoyed and proceeded to open the
sack. She found the snow, and at
once became wrathy and sent smooth
ing iron al the Rrocer's head. The
storekeeper made his escape out at the
back door and over paling face.
Now the woman passes his store, bnt
looks dsggers at the grocer as she
passes.
