THE HAWAIIAN COMMISSION
The Object of Their Visit Still Yelled in
Mystery.
They Have Talked With Congressmen
but Have Not Disclosed What
Their Purpose L..

There is some curiosity manifested in con-
gressional circles to know the exact pur-
pose Of the visit of Messrs. Parker, Cum
n-ins and Wideman, the royalist ENJOYS
from Hawaii While they have talked with
several members of Congress they have not
conveyed to any one a definite impression
Of the ends which they hope to accomplish
by their mission. In a general way they
have reviewed the wrongs attending the
overthrow of the monarchy, from their
standpoint, and they have complained of
the interference of Minister Stevens, which
they say brought about the downfall. They
represent that the present government can
not be considered a republic, and are not
satisfied with the attitude of Minister Willis
no Is said to be friendly to the Ameri-
can element as was his predecessor. But
they do not ask the members to do any
thing In behalf of the deposed queen, nor
do they state definitely why they are here
One OF two objects is suggested by men,
bers OF Congress to have brought the dele
gation-to urge the administration to carry
out its abandoned ioea of the restoration of
the queer, or to make arrangements for
pecuniary redress for her. The commits
sicners however, have expressly disclaimed
either OF these purposes, and their objects
ere veiled in mystery

Omnibus Railroad Blll.
just before the Senate adjourned this af-
ternoon the Vice President called up the
conference report from the bill amending
the charter Of the Great Falls Railway
Company. which was agreed to by the
House yesterday. This bill, which will
change the route of the Great Falls, Wash
ington and Georgetown and lexington
roads, is probably the last strictly local
street railway bill that will be passed by
Congress this session, except, probably, the
Mount Vernon bill, which merely grants a
city terminus for the road now constructed
In Virginia. There was no objection i'm the
senate today to the conference report and
1t was agreed to without division The bill
now goes to the President for approval.
