Big Four Co is anxious that
the work of rebuilding be com

the Phoenix Co, who will not likely
wait upon the government to clear the

cause it is thought that the United

on the work, considering the fact that

not be commenced until after the Juno

Section !. That all of the silver bull
lion now owned by the United States

law, which shall be legal tender
in payment OF all debts, public and

being IN the minority, that will not
avail them anything. However,
1T is very likely that two of
the ways and means democrats
Will in the committee oppose the
proposition, and these two are Stevens
and Cochran. Mr.. Stevens assured a
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette CORE
spondent Wednesday that he weuld do
SO, and from Mr. Cockran's talk before
the income tax had been determined
upon it can be judged that he will do
the same thing. When the income tax
comes to be referred TO the house as the
ways and means amendment to the bill
Mr.. Stevens will oppose il, and Mr..
IF two members OF the ways and means
committee opposing it's report, made
by their own partisans, will be an odd
one.
The income tax proposition is more
and more unpopular the more it is dis
cussed, and hardly anything else was
talked of Wednesday. Every democrat

from the state of New York
proper. unless they represent agricul-
tural committees, will. Democrats in
Pennsylvania will be found against it,
as will democrats in Ohio. The demo-
Gratis from Chicago will probably fight
it. Therefore its fate is matter of
serious doubt. The impression now is
that it will be Incorporated into the
bill before the house by n close vote.
The populists will vote for il as one
man, and perhaps one or two Western
republicans will do the same thing
The unpopularity of the income tax
in some cases will cause democrats to
fight the entire tariff bill, il il is adopt-
ed as revenue provision. Mr. Stevens
is now in doubt as TO what his action
will be II this is added to the bill, and
1t is probable that he will vigorously
fight IT. Others will be found in the
same position, and the chances for de-
feating the bill in the house are vastly
increased by this policy. 1t is likely.
though, that the bill will be forced
through, for the democrats have a ma
1ority of nearly hundred, ana to OBJ
tain enough votes to defeat il in the
house, seems an almost utter impossi-
bility.

he was assured that Great Britain had

the present government. and TO govern
faithfully in accordance with the pres
eut constitution. The government was
preparing long reply TO the minister.
The Commercial Advertiser, of Hon
olulu, in an article supporting the gov
eminent, declares that the United
States congress has taken the matter
out of President Cleveland's hands by
calling for the papers in the Hawaiian
correspondence, and asserts that the
provisional government will not retire
from power unless 1t is compelled To by
force, and says that this is not likely to
be employed.
The officers Of the Alameda reported
that the excitement in Honolulu over
the political situation was growing in
intensity. The provisional government
was as firm as ever in its determine.
ton TO maintain its position, and was
continuing its prepare tons to resist
any efforts that might be made To re.
