Crisu Captured the Caucus

w ASAlNG1ON, Jan. b.-In Democratic caucus met in the hall of the house of rep resentatives at 8 o'clock last night to con- slider the Wilson tariff bill. There was a good attendance. Judge Holman was chairman and MT. Alderson secretary of the caucus. There were 147 Democrats in attendance when the proceedings began. There are 216 Democrats in the house. and a caucus quorum is 10S. The attendance indicated that in the neighborhood of 40 who are in the city remained away. As soon as the roll had been called it was de cided to limit the speeches to five minutes each. General Wheeler, who was one of the prime movers in the caucus project, then took the floor and made vigorous speech against the proposition to place coal and iron ore on the free list Speaker Crisp followed He offered resolution dcclar- ing that it was the duty of every Democrat to vote for the consideration of the tariff bill, and also that it was the duty of all Democrats to attend the sessions of the house and maintain a quorum until the tariff bill is disposed of.
 In ringing speech the speaker took oc casion rather sharply to reprimand Demo crats who had been responsible for the in action of the house during the past three days. There were several other speakers.
 The caucus lasted for two hours only Practically nothing was accomplished Only two amendments looking to a change of the bill were formally proposed, both re- lating to the sugar tax, but neither of them was voted on.
 The only result of the caucus was the strengthening of the hands of those favor ing the bill by the passage of the resolu- tion offered by Speaker Crisp declaring it to be the duty of Democrats to vote to con- sider the bill. This resolution was made the peg on which those opposed to certain features of the bill hung their objections Most of their opposition was directed against the income tax, and its opponents gained slight victory in an additional all lowance of two days for general debate should this proposition be presented by the committee. The caucus was much more harmonious than was expected.

Cipher Dispatches From Willis,

WASHINGTON, Jan. G.-The state depart ment received in cipher form dispatches forwarded from Minister Willis to the au- thorities in this city by the revenue cutter Corwin, which arrived at San Francisco on Friday. The officials of the department refuse absolutely to make any statement regarding the contents of the advices re ceived and are even reticent in acknowledg- ing that they have yet secured any tele- graphic news since the Corwin reached San Francisco.
 The dispatches were immediately trans lated on reaching here. The department has declined to give the purport of their advices, but it is now generally accepted that they fully confirm the cable received from Auckland.
 Since the receipt of this cablegram from Auckland those who are best informed on the Hawaiian situation have been carefully studying Minister Willis latest instruc- tions and are inclined more strongly to be- lieve that the situation at Honolulu is eX- actly as reported in the news from Auck- land.
 A theory which gains most support is based on the belief that the last instruc. tions sent to Minister Willis contemplated further action by the administration.
 Think the Queen Accepted.
 It is thought that the queen, finally see ing that her cause would be lost unless she accepted the conditions imposed by Minister Willis for her restoration, accept ed them as contained in his published in structions and notified him that she would grant amnesty Go members of the provi- sional government if she again became queen. Minister Willis thereupon carried out his instructions and notified President Dole that it was the desire of the United States government that the provisional government should surrender in favor of Liliuokalani. President Dole promptly re- fused to accede to this request.
 The advices sent from time to time by Minister Thurston to President Dole no doubt strengthened the provisional gov ernment in its stand, and the arrival of Mir. Thurston at Honolulu probably oc- cured before MT. Willis asked President Dole to surrender.
 His presence with his thorough acquaint- ance of the public sentiment in this coun- try on the Hawaiian question, has cement ed the determination of the provisional gov ernment to hold out against every attempt toward the restoration of the queen.
 It can be stated definitely that the Cor win sailed from Honolulu on the 23rd of December, which is one day later than the Alameda departed The cable stated that Mir. Dole was preparing a document, and it is believed now that this statement was his reply to the request of Minister Willis to surrender. The reply having been com l pleted and forwarded to Nr. Willis the next day, the latter immediately dispatched it to this country by the Corwin.
 Secretary Gresham said that he would receive Minister Willis report by mail and that it would probably reach here next | Wednesday evening. It is believed that this mailed document is the reply of Presi- | dent Dole to Minister Willis
