Mr. Louis Cuvillier of Alexandria,
counsel for DOMAIN, the crank letter
writer. says he has withdrawn his ap-
plication for the discharge OF the prs,
oner on writ of habeas corpus, and
will move for his discharge upon the
ground that the letters, for writing
which he was arrested, were not writ
ten within the jurisdiction of the DIS
t.ict Court, and that consequently his
crime was Tot committed here.
Understanding that large reduction
would soon be made in the census bu-
reau, Representative Meredith of tho
Alexandria, Virginia, district, called
there this morning to do what he could
to save the people from his district who
arr employed therein.
Some of the District democrats at the
Capitol to-day, in talking about the re-
cent District appointees and those that
are foreshadowed, said they were not
unexpected, as they all belong to the
Cleveland wing of the democratic party.
Congressman Meredith says he be-
lieves all his colleagues from his State
except one will vote for cut in the
duty on coal and against putting that
article on the free list; but so anxious
are they that something shall be done
with the tariff, that all of them Till vote Z. t.e
for the hill s s,Sal # coal be retained on
the free list. He also says he believes
all of them will vote for the income tax.
Colonel Anderson. attorney for the
Washington, Alexandria and Mount
Vernon railroad company, says the
Commissioners of the District of Co.
lumbia have not yet reported ON the
bill for the admission of that road into
Washington, for the reason that they
are preparing a general railroad bill
which has not yet been completed. 1t
will require three bills to accomplish
the object of his road, one for the use OF
certain streets of this city, one for right
of way through the government reser-
vation at Arlington, and one for a
bridge across the Potomac.
The house committee on invalid pen
sions to-day agreed to report favoraoly

LETTER FROM RICHMOND.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
RICHMOND, Va, Jan. s, 1894.

RICHMOND, Va, JAMS, 1894.
Adiutant General Anderson received
his commission to-day and qualified:
The concensus of opinion is that he will
make an excellent officer. He has been
the recipient of many congratulations
upon his appointment.
Mr.. r. Muscoe Giazebrook, who was
last week appointed Fish Inspector Of
Richmond. to-day requested Governor
O'Ferrall not to commission him. 1t
seems that Mr.. Glazebrook is in the
employ Of mercantile house that
handles fish and as he would have &C
cess to the books of all parties buying
and selling the piscatory article, it
would Of course give him knowledge
of the business that the other mer-
chants objected to. The merchants
would have made no objection if Mr..
Glazebrook had been willing to devote
his entire time to the matter.
In the House of Delegates to-day Mr..
Utz offered bill providing for the tax
alton of dogs. The measure will find
friends both pro and con. Mr.. Utz will
no doubt find himself famous in short
while as it has been often said that no
one could be found with sufficient cour-
age to offer such measure. The farm
er who desires to raise sheep, and he
who wants only good watch dog or
hunter will receive the measure with
open arms, but the vagabond who
usually keeps a pack of half-starved
cnrs will of course not like it and some
politicians who want such votes as
these people can give will join with
them in the objection.
The contest in the seventh district
for the democratic nomination for Con-
gress to fill the vacancy occasioned by
the resignation of Congressman OFFER
rail- is Just now attracting considerable
attention. There are six Iicandidates
as follows; Basil B. Gordon, of Kappa
hammock; Micajah Woods and Jetfer-
son NJ. Levy, of Albemarle; NJ. L.
Walton, of Shenandoah S. S. Turner,
of Warren: and A. Moore, jr., of
Clark. AS the convention meets in two
weeks the contest will necessarily be
short, and it is presumed an interest
ing, ifnot an exciting one. 4 gentle
man, who is somewhat familiar with
the politics Of the district pre-
diets that Gordon will go into the con-
vention with Rappahannock solid and
with a part of the Rockingham and
Page delegates: Woods with Char
lottesvlle and Greene, and with all of
the delegates of Albemarle except about
half dozen that Mr.. Levy may secure;
Walton with Shenandoah and por-
ton of Rockingham and Page; Moore
with Clarke and probably Frederick
and Winchester, and portion of Rock
ingham, and Turner with Warren and
possibly some of the delegates of Page
and Frederick, and nearly ell of Madi-
son and a part of Rockingham. He
predicts that there will be many bal
lots taken before nomination is
made.

Shocking Murder.

MARIETTA, Ga, Jan. 9.-Henry San
err German, and his wife were MUIR
dered last night in their home near
Pinchtown, and their son is missing.
Their barn was burned aud the house
had been set on fire. Mr.. and Mrs.
Saner lay on the kitchen floor, with
their clothing burned from their bodies,
itlhaving been saturated with oil. The
floor was covered with blood, which
ebbed from eight bullet holes in Mrs.
Saner's head and from wound caused
by heavy blow in the back of Mr..
Saner's head. Near Saner lay the bar
rels of the gun, which were bent
as If from heavy blows. A visit to the
fire at the barn revealed nothing ex-
cept burnt carcasses of horses, COWS
and other stock. Many suppose the
boy was burned in the barn. 1t is be-
lieved the entire family was murdered
and that robbery was the object.

of the democracy in Congress Was
strongly opposed to the Presidents
Hawaiian policy. 1t was only the sur
face froth of tie party that stood by
him, but what action, if any, under the
constitution would be taken was quite
another matter. He did not believe
that, however antagonistic the leaders
might be to the Presidents policy and
unheard assumption of authority, they
would permit the passage of an i'm
parchment resolution. This, neverthe-
less, WAS only conjecture. He did
not know to what extent the democra-
cy would go in patriotic defense of the
nations honor.
Mr.. Perkins.-''If were President
Dole would give Mr.. Willis his papers
and send him home. During the previous
administration of Mr.. Cleveland he
sent Sackville West home for writing a
letter on political economy to private
citizen, and I believe Mr.. Dole would
have good precedent for his act if he
We've 70 give Mr.. Willis his passports
and ask him to go.home."
"If the news be true" said Mr.. PEI
fer, ''it is an outrage. If troops have
been landed, be they American. English
or any other kind, they should be re-
PEELED"
The members of the cabinet say that
as the provisional government of Ha-
wall knows that Mr.. Willis is not to
use force in restoring the ex-Queen,
the chances for hostilities are mini
mized.

THE EMPLOYEES in the Brussels car
pet factory at Lowell, Massachusetts,
have accepted a reduction OF twenty
per cent. in their wages, rather than so
on q strike this winter and leave those
dependent upon them without support.
They acted upon the common sense
idea that half a loaf is better than no
bread, and are consequently wise. But,
it is observed, that their employers
have not made reduction of twenty
per cent. in the price of the products of
tneir labor.

TUESDAY EVENING, JAN. 9, 1894.


ALREADY frauds to the amount of a
hundred million dollars have been dis
covered in the accounts of one pension
agent alone-one in Buffalo, \. y.
Wherever pension Investigations have
been made, enormous frauds have been
detected. But still, by a law of a
democratic Congress, approved by a
democratic President, the payment OF
fraudulent pensions must not be sus-
pended during the investigation OF the
frauds. If pensions were only paid to
those entitled t9 ' them there would be
no need either for an income tax or for
tax on sugar.

From Hawaii.


The steamer Warrimoo, which ar
rived at Victoria last night, brings adj
vices from Honolulu under date of jan
uary /. All is quiet at Honolulu. The
provisional government have force of
men under arms and the palace is
strongly fortified. Minister Willis re-
ceived bulky batch ofdispatches by the
Corwin. He Immediately entered upon
renewed intercourse with Liliuokalani.
Houses in Honolulu are being searched
for concealed arms. On the 10th, the
alarm was revived by the British min
lister receiving permission from the gov
eminent to land marines from H. NJ. S.
Champion, for the protection of British
interests. Capt. Rookie stated that he
expected the Queen to be restored by
American forces and he would land 80
marines. On Dec. Is last President Dole
addressed communication to Minister
Willis saying he was informed that the
minister was in communication with
Liliuokalani, ex-Queen, with view of
establishing the monarchy in the
Hawaiian Islands, and of supporting
her pretensions to the sovereignty, and
asking Minister Willis to inform him if
this report was true or if he was acting
in any way hostile to the government.
To this communication Minister Willis
replied that he had communication
from his government which he desired
to submit to the President and minis
tiers of the hawaiian government. The
interview took place in the foreign office
in the afternoon of the same day.
Minister Willis stated that the Presi-
dent of the United States had very
much regretted the delay in the Hawa-
iian question, but it had been unavoida-
BILE. He further stated that the Presi
dents action had been upon the die
tates of honor and duty, and had been
from the beginning absolutely free from
prejudice and resentment, and entirely
consistent with long established friend
ship and treaty ties which have so close
" bound together the two governments.
The President deemed it his duty to
withdraw frt N the Senate the treaty of
annexation which had been signed by
luC SeCIeldiN VI CldtC auu ns5Cheo VI tdS
Hawaiian government, and to dispatch
trusted representative to Hawaii to
impartially investigate the causes of the
revolution, and to ascertain and report
the true situation in these islands.
This information Mr.. Willis said, was
needed the better to enable the Presi-
dent to discharge delicate and import
ant duty. Upon the facts embodied in
Mr.. Blount's report, the President had
arrived at certain conclusions and de-
termined upon certain course of &C
ton, with which it becomes the Minis
ter's duty to acquaint the Hawaiian
The provisional government, he said,
was not established by the Hawaiian
people, or with their consent or acqui-
essence; nor has it since existed with
their consent.
President Dole spoke for the provis-
ional government. He denied the right
of the United States to interfere in the
affairs of Hawaii, and vigorously COM
batted the statement of the American
minister that the present government
had no foundation in justice and right.
He would never consent to the restora-
ton of the eX-Queen.

THE NEW YORK Herald says Mr..
Cleveland's reported anxiety to have
income tax dropped, indicates that he
realizes the force of the popular senti-
ment against that odious measure.
As. of the nearly seventy million peo-
pie of the country, only about eighty
five thousand would be assessed for an
income tax, the popular sentiment re-
ferred to, that is if Americans are hui
man creatures, is mirage only visible
to that few who would have to pay
the tax.
