was an important conference at the
White House Yesterday in regard tc
the Hawaiian affair. it started about
10 o'clock with consultation between
the President and Secretary Lamont
Half an hour later Secretary Gree
haD joined them, and soon.after Sec
rotary Carlisle and Attorney General
Olney entered the cabinet-room. The
conference lasted several hours and
was devoted exclusively to the consid-
Grafton of the Hawaiian complication,
as fully disclosed in the official report
of Minister Willis, which arrived
Thursday night. The matter is now
before Congress, and will be disposed
with by that body, the President
having exhausted his powers.
The Tariff Bill was taken up Mon
day in the House, and is being debated
The Republicans are fighting Il for all
they are worth, but il is generally be-
lieved that the bill will be passed by
The House, with very few changes.
But when it gets to the Senate it is
thought that it will be very materially
cut up. The bill has some weak
points as we'll as all other measures,
but as whole il is an instrument of
vital importance and benefit to the
masses. One member of the House,
Democrat, steel manufacturer, will
make strong fight to get steel put on
the tree list. The sugar bounty will
also be handled without gloves, and
an effort made to wipe it out alto
gether.
Mr.. Lisle, our new member from
the Tehth District, is not only becoH-
lug very popular, but he is gaining a
reputation as worker. He was sick
all during the holidays; but as soon
as Congress reconvened he was one OF
the first to be there, He is not in his
A. b. C.'s by no means. He is already
gaining the reputation of being one of
the brainest men in the House. When
he speaks his words are felt, and they
count. Kentucky and the Tenth dis
lrict should we'll feel proud of their
selection of Mr.. Lisle, as their Repre-
sentative.
In the opinion of your correspond
ent, it will not be many moons before
there will be a and post-office building
in the city OF Mt Sterling. II
has been pushed by different Repre-
sentatives ;sbut it is now in the hands
of man, whom your cores ondent
thinks will get it through, not dIscred-
iting his predecessors, however, in
their labers to that end.
Within the next year I think there
will be quite change in the appear
ance of some of the vacant lots in Mt.
Sterling, and in the Tenth district as a
whole.
1t is thought, and 1 get it from good
that Mr.. Cleveland will APP
