THE PROFESSIONALS ANSWER.
1t is Probable That the Matter Rests
With Congress.

San Francisco, Jan. By the exer-
else of a little brief authority, Captain
Munger. of the United States revenue
cutter Corwin, has made himself today
one of the most unpopular men on the
Pacific coast. Especially has the rev.
enue officer Disguised the newspaper
men by his churlishness.
AS a rule. navy men and officers
connected with the revenue service
cheerfullv impart information not in
conflict with naval etiquette to news
paper men, and the action of Munger
today stands out in dark relief against
the white background of years OF cour-
teous demeanor on the part OF other
officers of his profession.
The reason for Munger's action in
refusing to allow any communication
with the vessel is probably the chagrin
at the fact that the sailing of the Cor
win for Honolulu from here, was an
nounced in the newspapers two days
before she sailed. Munger made siren
uous efforts to conceal the fact that
he was going to Honolulu, and even
after the newspapers published the
news, he emphatically denied that Hon
olulu was the destination. This time,
he evidently intends to get even with
the newspapers and the public and is
taking no chances that will allow in
formation of any kind to leak out. Nc
one would think of asking Munger the
contents of the official dispatches, even
Iif he knew them, which is not prob
able, but people here wonder why a
man whose salary they help to pay
should be so cavalier in his treatment
of them. They argue that news OF
what has happened at Honolulu, ex
cept that transmitted in the govern
ment dispatches, is not the private
property of the state department OF
| the Corwin's officers. and should mo-
| be withheld from them.
1t is believed the Corwin brought the
answer of the provisional government
to Willis demand for surrender. Tina
reply is undoubtedly already in the
hands of the state department a
Washington, and from present indica
tons Washington will have to be looked
to for the news.
| Hawaiian Consul Wilder tonight ex
pressed the belief that the Corwin haC
| his governments answer, and wheI
asked what he thought that answe
was, said:

has informed Willis it considers TIL

Keokuk Ia. Jan. 81. H. Willis
and ]. A Bell are held under $1,000
bonds to appear before the federal
grand jury on the charge of using the
mails for fraudulent purposes. Will
lis father was captain of merchant
ship between San Francisco and China.
His son was educated in Japan. The
father spent at least $1,000 on him. His
son established the first Chinese news
paper in America, published in San
Francisco.
The scheme worked by Willis and
Bell was to enter into correspondence
with the owners of patents pretending
they had the offer Of a farm to ex-
change for a patent. A fee of $25 was
REQUIRED for examination of title, etc.
When the money had been sent, the
owner of the patent was notified that
the farm property was very poor, and
closed the correspondence. A large
number of letters of this sort were Sc
cured by the government officers to be
used as evidence

Washington, Jan. 5.-The Associated
Press cable from Auckland, announc-
ing that Minister Willis had notified
the provisional government to retire, as
the queen had agreed to grant amnesty
has been the absorbing topic in congress
sional circles today. Word came from
the state department to the foreign
affairs committee, but no mention was
made of the minister's reported action.
The information is doubted by Chair
man McCreary, Raynor and others OF
the foreign affairs committee.
McCreary said it would give most
startling turn to the situation if it
proved true.
Hit, Republican leader of the for
eign affairs committee, said if Willis
had taken the action reported. it would
precipitate a tempest. The president
had turned the whole subject over to
Congress, and yet before Willis had
learned this course, he had executed
the policy already abandoned. This
would be particularly serious if the
minister's action had led to bloodshed-
There is intense anxiety in congress
sional circles for further news of the
reported course of the minister, and
lit has led to the circulation of wild
and boundlesS rumorS on the floor OF
the House that rioting had begun IN
the streets of Honolulu. The state de-
partment is not inclined to credit the
statements as to Willis actions. Such
action is said to be totally contrary to
the instructions sent to Willis by the
Corwin, and received by him on De
cember II. That he could have written
to the provisional government after ne
,,..{s ncfir 20
they surrender the Office, is denied
with strong emphasis at the state de
partment, and the expressions in the
presidents message in this connection
are pointed to as refuting the state
ment.
The statements contained in the dis
patch seemed to cause no uneasiness
or excitement at the Hawaiian lega'
ttion. They are not inclined to believe
that Willis has taken further steps
to restore the queen. The Hawafians
| do not think the eX-queen's argeemen1
to grant amnesty to the provisional
government would make any d1fIerenct

nothing in the instructions to preclud
Willis from having proceeded on thes

PROMPT ACTION IS DESIRABLE.
Willis Intended to Afford Protection
to the Queen.


Washington, Jan. 5.-The printing
office today issued volume containing
the presidents special message on Ha-
wall, with the accompanying cores
pondence asked by the Senate resolu-
ton.
1t contains reports from Minister
Willis not yet published, among them
one dated Honolulu, Nov II, in which
Willis expresses his intention of af-
fording protection to the queen.
Neither side" says Willis, has the
vaguest idea of the attitude of our
government and consequently no out
break has yet occurred, though every
night is filled with rumors.'
Willis says he declined to give adj
vice to the Japanese consul-general, as
to sending to his government for a
man-of-war, but told him if requested
the United States would extend pro-
lection to the japanese people, provid-
ed they were n-participants in the
trouble. In a letter on Nov 16, Willis
tells of visit from a committee repre-
senting the American League, to whom
he said it was the duty of all Ameri-
cans at home or abroad to cooperate
in executing the will of their govern
ment. Nothing was said, however, as
to the instructions of our government.
The last message from Willis was
dated Dec. f. After having received
Gresham's second set of instruction
based upon the defiant attitude of the
provisional government, Willis says:
There have been active defensive cp-
erationS for several days; otherwise the
situation is about the same The feel
ling is intense, but I hope to preserve
this status until further instructions
The government last Wednesday in
quired as to the authenticity of ycul
published letter, and the intentions OF
the president. have declined, today
to answer. Prompt action is desirable

ABOARD THE MoHICAN.
Preparations That are of Decid-
eddy WarIiIxe Tendency.

Vallejo, Cal, Jan. 5.-A naval officer,
when asked when the Corwin left Homo
lulu, said the Corwin was considered
a speedy cutter and should make it
from Honolulu easy in eleven days.
''She is a faster boat than the Rush
and my conviction is Willis held the
Corwin at least two days after the
Alameda sailed for New Zealand. This
being the situation, it is more than
probable clash has occurred between
the powers and that the mission of the
Corwin is to tell the tale of the rejec-
ton of Cleveland's overtureS by the
provisional government. 1t would not
surprise us, for letters from the officers
of the Philadelphia and Adams, which
are there, indicate that if that policy
is forced on Dole, he will resort to
arms
On board the Mohican, everything is
in readiness to sail in one days time,
should it be required. All that remains
to be done on the Mexican is to re-
place the ships galley. The Mohican
men are being thoroughly drilled and
today Captain Clark had the landing
party fully equipped for field service,
supported by the hospital corps, and
the field pieces of the landing party

usual occurrence here, and since the
news of the Corwins advent, it is
whispered there is more in the landing
than a mere drill.
The Mohican magazines were replen-
ished yesterday and the coal bunkers
are full to overlooking. The significant
fact remains, that the navy depart
ment apprehends trouble, and that they
are on the alert is conveyed in the fact
that while repairs could be made on
the cruiser Boston, which recently went
out of commission, nothing has been
done and her complement of sailors
are being held ready on board

sICILY,s STATE OF SIEGE.
Rioters Attack the Town Hall, Doing
Great Damage.

Treat damage.
Rome, Jan. 5.-The decree proclaim
ing Sicily in a state of siege was pre-
faced by the report of the ministers
to the king, which shows the deplor-
able neglect and growing evils Of the
recent year have led to a serious stu
alton, requiring exceptional treatment.
The ignorant and deluded populace,
led by individuals addicted to every
kind of crime, have fomented pillage,
incenoia-ism, murder and rapine. It
is evident an organizing committee
exists that it is responsible for the dis
orders. The committee meets daily at
Palermo.
A dispatch from the correspondent
OF a Neapolitan paper at Palermo an
nounces a serious riot at Marinoo, a
town of 5000 The rioters attacked
the town hall; thirty OF the rioters
were killed and fifty wounded by the
troops.
At Caltinesetta there was a demon
stration under the auspices of Fasci
Del Lavoratori. One of the soldiers
was wounded by a peasant and the
troops fired a volley into the rioters,
killing ten and Wounding Others
A telegram from Palermo says the
central committee of the Easel Del
Javoratori, has issued a, manifesto de-
manding concessions from the govern
ment in order to test the genuineness
of the humanitarian declarations of
the Bourgeois. This is the manifesto
which led to the arrest of the leaders
of the FaSci Del LaV0ratori. The
police of Palermo have dissolved the
local branch Of the Easel Del Lavoro-
tori and seized important documents
which will be used in the prosecution
of the men now in custody.

NOW A QUESTION OF ROUNDS.
Bets That Mitchell VIII Not Respond
in the Tyyenty-frst.

Jacksonville, Jan. 5.--Another gang
of men today was put to work on the
arena, and from this it is inferred the
club is very confident of pulling off the
fight in this city The officials say they
will, on Monday, issue a statement,
disclosing their plans. BOwden recently
wired Governor Mitchell regarding his
position in the matter of the contest.
Yesterday he received an answer, but
Bowden denies it has any reference to
the fight 1t was of sufficient import
ance to call a special meeting Of the
club, and it is evident the news Bow
den communicated to the club officials
was not very unfavorabIe. The club
people are now more positive than ever
that the fight will take place. Even
money is now offered that Mitchell will
not respond in the twenty-first round.
Some of this has been taken, as il is
the general opinion the Englishman
will make a longer fight.
Sheriff Broward today declared the
club people were mistaken if they
thought ne would stand quietly by and
allow a fight to occur in DuvaI county.

to the effect that charges have been
preferred before the general executive
board of the Knights of Labor. against
ex-General Master Workman Terence
V. Powderly, and ex-General Worthy

The charges against Powderly are
that since his displacement as the
head of the order he has, in published

deavored to discredit the order and has
entered into a conspiracy with prom
inent members of the Republican party
for the purposes of disrupting the sill

Prospects for Very Lively Time in

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 5.-There
will be another contest in the Senate
over the confirmation of the man ap-
pointed from an eastern state as In

special session of Congress there was
a protracted fight in the Senate
against the confirmation of this class

IS any objection to the men personally,
but because the principle was opposed.

Oregon appointment, and both Dolph
