Germany's Commercial Arrange
ment With spain Discussed in
tho Reichstag.
BERLIN, Jan. 1l.-In the reichstag
today the provisional commercial ar
rangement with Spain received its Sec
ond reading.
Count Pcsadowsky, secretary OF the
imperial treasury. in n two-hour speech.
proposed the first reading of the new
tobacco tax bill. Discussing alternative
schemes Of taxation. he stated that the
institution of an imperial income tax
would deprive the federal states of their
sovereign power to impose taxation and
reduce them to the rank of mere prov
lnceS of the empire. The only possible
means to meet the wants of the state
WAS by Indirect taxation, and tobacco
was especially fitted for the purpose.
line bill would neither increase con-
sumption nor deprive worSmen of EN-
pi0yment. He concluded by stating
that The federal governments were
against any weakening of the bill.
Her Fritzen. on behalf of the Cen
trlSts, declared that the bill was not ac-
cep.abie. lie contended that a requisite
financial reform has already been rem
uered impossible by the collapse of the
wine tax.
Other members took part in the dis
cussiOn. 1T is considered that Herr
Erltzens declaration has settled the
fate Of the bill.

by the Special Senate COM
mittee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.--Interest in
the Hawaiian question ceuters in the
dispatches from Mr.. Willis by the Cor
win. which were in the hands of the
state department today. Secretaries
Gresham, Lamont and Carlisle visited
the White honse today, and were in con-
Terence with MIR. Cleveland. ATTORNEY
General Olney came later, and remained
closeted with the president and Secre-
tary Gresham some time, for the pur-
pose. it is said, of giving advice OH some
OF the points Involved i'll the news Min
lister Willis sent. ALI that could be
learned Of the dispatches was that the
matter they contain is about $4,000
words; President Doie's letter in reply
TO Minister Willis containing about
5000 words.
1t was thought that che matter would
be sent to congress. but the perusal of
1t by the president occupied consider
able time. and it was found that the
preparation Of the copies to be sent to
the capitol would occupy much more.
1t is thought tonight, however. that the
matter will go in tomorrow upon the
assembling OF congress.
Secretary Gresham, when asked if he
would say when it will likely go to
congress. replied that it would not be
courteous to that body for him to say.
No explicit information can be obtained
as to whether the president intends to
send to congress with these papers any
thing more than message of trans
initial.
In agreemedt with the policy leaving
the matter now entirely in the hands OF
congress. announced by Secretary Ores
ham IN an interview of the Associated
Press of yesterday, it is to be assumed
that the message will be Il mere formal
note Ut the transmittal.

BLOUNT's STORY.
He Reviews Some Hawaiian III
tory Before a Senate COMMITTEE

He Reviews Some Hawaiian His
tory Before a Senate Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. I1.-Contrary to
previous announcement, eX-Commis-
Sioner Blount this morning was before
the senate committee which was investi-
eating the relations OF this country with
Hawaii under the resolution of Senator
Morgan. Senator Frye,who is regarded
as the special champion on the commit
tee of cx-Minister Stevens. and who it
has been supposed would be pleased to
have all opportunity to examine Mr..
Blount, appeared soon after 10 O'Clock,
the hour of meeting, but excused HIM
self, for the time, to attend meeting Of
the senate committee on commerce.
Senator Dolph sat with the subcommit-
tee. The efforts Of the committee were
directed more to securing an eXplana-
ton from Mr.. Blount of his various acts
while i'll Honolulu than to obtaining
from him an accurate account Of his
mission. which the committee was al
ready sufficiently Informed through his
official report. The explanation neces-
sary, however, involved direct allusion
to and in some Instances full account
of hist proceedings. - -s
T Phe examination Of Mr.. Biount also
went into the various questions con-
corning the landing of the American
troops during the revolution, and his
reasons for concluding that there had
been conspiracy to dethrone the queen
and annex the islands to the United
States.
He was reminded of the charge that
his investigation had been partial, and
that his report showed upon its face
that he had been prejudiced against the
annexation from the beginning. This.
Mir. Blount said, was untrue, and he
cOntended that the report was impartial
and the Investigation was without
pref udice or favor.
Mr.. BlOunt was examined in regard
to statements made by the HawaiianS to
the effect that his examination had
been partial and his method of conduct
ing it had been apparently in the dlrec-
ton of obtaining information against
the provisional government and in favor
OF the royalists. To this he replied that
he took the testimony in his own way
and acted upon his own judgment. He
had been selected to make this eXamina-
ton and had been given entire author
lty to conduct it in any manner he saw
fit, and to obtain the most accurate and
best information concerning the revolu-
ton.
At the conclusion of the examination
OF Mr.. Blount he had long conference
in the committee room with Senator
Morgan.

declared there was no occasion for an
extraordinary session, and recommended
all adjournment at SONS hour tolnOr-
tow. In regard to the proposition to
have Colorado silver bullion coined into
Mexican dollars, which should circulate
within the state as legal tender. the
committee stated that they were com-

adopted.
The house, from present indications,
will not agree to an immediate adjourn
ment, and. as the senate will refuse TO
transact any business, there will be a
deadlock until one gives up the fight.
In the house today many petitions for
and against an immediate adjournment
ware read. Many resolutions were pre-
Sented, and work enough laid out to
keep the house in session for a month.
A member from Ell PaSo county created
sensation by Introducing the follow

The Republican members Of the

this city today and secretly trans

of the meeting was to demonstrate
against the discrimination shown the
Illinois coal fields by the Chicago IL

Coal is hauled from Illinois fields to
Chicago for 70 cents per ton. while 81. 1OL
is charged from the Indiana fields.
1t is further said that the operators dis
cussed the question of reducing the
price of mining coal after the expiration
of the scale, May 1. 1t is claimed that
Ohio and Illinois operators have cut the
toscale 45 and 80 cents, while so cents is
paid in the Indiana fields, which makes
the Indiana operators at 7O-cent dis
advantage in placing their coal on the
Chicago market, an obstacle too great
