THEY WILL KILL IT.
BLAND HAS NO HOPE FOR SILVER.


Washington, Dec, 26-Among the few
members OF the house who were at the
capitol to-day the prevailing opinion
seemed 10 be that the republicans had
1t In their power 10 pass or defeat the
currency bill. The democratic vote, Il
Is said by one who has fully canvassed
the situation, VIII be about evenly di-
vlded. The republicans are generally
expected to vote against the measure.
While the currency bill is far from
satisfactory 10 many democratic mem
bers who viii support II, they will. they
say vote for II because II will improve.
In their opinion. the present situation.
Judge culbertson put It this way: I'VE
nre like a tramp" said he, "who has
been ordered out of town. 1t don't
matter whether we go TO New York.
Baltimore or Richmond. but move we
must. The situation Of the treasury is
Identical. Something must be done TO
relieve 1t, II this bill does not accom-
pllsh all II should. II will at least ac-
complish something"
Representative Bland, who has the
free coinage substitute pending. is very
doubtful Of his ability to secure even "A
record making vote upon 1t. Chairman
Springer has already given notice that
he will make a point OF order against
the substitute on the ground that Il is
not germane. and Bland believes that
the point OF order Will be sustained In
the event IL Is not sustained, however,
he says that inasmuch as that substi-
tute will be defeated In committee OF
the whole, that fact will preclude the
possibility OF securing a record making
vote on this proposition in the house.

Washington, Dec. 26.-No concern or
alarm Is felt at the Hawaii legation
here over the rebellion TO overthrow the

queen. Mr.. Hastings, charge d'affaires
of the legation, received telegraphic re-
ports from his government via San
Francisco, after the arrival of the Aus
tralia, about ten days ago. and the
Arawa, a week later, which say every
thing Is quiet. He says the natives are
peaceful and willing to accept the new
government as IL is. and have never
been infiamed or stirred up since its

the band OF men who are now reported
as having designs against the govern
ment, and says there is but one full
native born Ia It's list, and asserts that
there is no lighting mood among them.
The result of the revolution would cause
needless bloodshed and defeat.

Of the conspirators were made six days
