A MOTION 10 RECOhMIT.
The BIZ May be sent Back to the Ways and
Means Committee

WASHINGTON, d. C., Jan. 2S.-Tie
present understanding IS that when the
Wilson tariff bin comes into the House
proper from the Committee Of the Whole
next Monday, q motion will be made 70
recommit II to the Committee on Ways
and Means. with instructions which are
not yet fully outlined.
Mr. Sperry, of Connecticut, and Mr..
Haines, OF New York, are quoted as
saying that there are sixty Democrats
who will support this motion. But these
members will not be sufficient TO make
any change in the programme. The mo-
tion will receive no Republican votes,
for two reasons. as stated by one Of the
leaders First. the Republicans do not
believe it to be a good policy 10 interfere
in a decisive way in the factonal contro-
versies among the Democrats; and sec
ond, they believe that the tariff question,
even if II cannot be settled the way they
want TO have it settled, should be disposed
Of for the benefit Of the business interest,
which suffers because Of the agitation of
the question in Congress.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Representa-

Committee on Foreign Affairs, has pre-
pared and to-day introduced in the House
resolution defining the attitude of Com
gress towards Hawaii. The resolution
was referred 10 the Committee on For

says that the resolution represents the
sentiments Of the nine Democratic mcm-
bers Of the committee and he expects it
will be reported 10 the House and form
the basis OF the discussion which will begin
Immediately after the disposition of the
tariff bill The text Of the resolution is
as follows.

this House that the action Of the United
States Minister in employing United
States naval forces and i'm Illegally aid
ing i'm overthrowing the constitutional
government OF the Hawaiian Islands in
January, 1855. and I'm setting up in ITS
place a'provisional government. not Tee

will Of the majority of the people was
contrary 10 the traditions OF our repub-
lic and spirit of our constitution, and
should De and is condemned.
= THAT We heartily approve of the prin-
cipios announced 10y the President OF the
United States. that Interference with the
domestic affairs of an independent nation
IL contrary 10 the spirit Of American IN
siituuons; and It is furthcr the sense OF
this House that the annexation OF the
hawaiian Islands TO our country or the
assumption OF "a protcctorate over them by
our Government, IS uncalled for and is in-
eXpcdient That the people Of the country
should have absolute freedom and indie
pcndcnce in pursuing their own policy,
and that foreign Intervention in The poli-
teal affairs I'm the islands will not be re-
garded with indifference by the govern
ment OF the United States.
