AN INTERVIEW WITH M. C.. HAW-
 LEY. ac. -~"-~
A TRIP TO THE PACIFIC SLOPE.

A TRIP TO THE PACIFIC SLOPE.
 Thinking a word from NJ. c. Hawley on the condition of business in the Golden West, with a description of his recent Western trip, would be inter estiDg at this time, reporter of THE BEE called for an interview and was cor dially received. Probably among our numerous readers none are more reluc- tant to be interviewed than the subject of this article and frequently Mir Hawley makes trip to the Pacific coast and re- turn without mention of same being made in this paper. But this week our report CT met MT Hawley on the train between Bridgeport and this place, returning from one of his daily trips from New York, and persuaded MT Hawley to favor THE BEE readers, as intimated above, by giv- ing some incidents connected with his 46th round trip from the Atlantic to the Pacific. MT Hawley started West November P, taking the Chicago limited'' to Chicago, and then the Atchi- son & Topeka to San Francisco, arriving
  made a continuous passage of five and half days. MT Hawley found busi- ness in the West better than he had an- ticipated, especially in Lower California. In the vicinity of Los Angeles, trade has
 improved quite little, numerous build ings being erected there and at Pasadena. The same improvement is noticed at San Diego. But on reaching San Francisco. Mir Hawley found there had not been much improvement in general business, but they were looking for improvement with the advent of the new year. After fortnight's sojourn at San Francisco, he took trip down to Los Angeles, and there found the statements previously made verified. The climate at this seas- on of the year, at Los Angeles, MT flaw l ley found to be delightful. The hotel l table where he stopped was furnished 1 with ripe strawberries, picked in the open field, and flowers in great profusion were noticed. Meeting his represents
 tive from San Diego at Los Angeles, Nil
 Hawley did not make his usual trip tt that place. People throughout the West
 said Mr HaWley, are very hopeful tha
 things have seen their worst. In conver
 sation with leading men of Los Angeles : he found they were confident that busi
 ness had seen it's worst, so far as the,
 were concerned. This statement vii
 hardly be borne out with regard to al
 the cities of Southern California, partie
 ularly Riverside. Some of the bank
 there that were crippled in the recen
 panic, have not been resuscitated, whic
 naturally throws somewhat of dampe
 on the enterprise of that place. The pee
 pie of the Pacific slope are deeply intel
 ested just now in the Hawaiian question
 as they are more nearly identified wit
 those islands on account of trade rels
 tions. Claus Spreckles, as you know, ], deeply interested in the restoration of u queen to the throne, He is resident
 San Francisco, and has millions investe
 in those islands. The general feelir , tbere is very strong in favor of the Pr ? visional governments. The Sunday b 7 fore Christmas is observed, as you knos q by Congregational and Presbyteris id churches. I had the pleasure of atten \ ing the Christmas festival of the CoEgr

THE lTTNORlTY REPORT.

The republican minority of the ways
and means committee, through Con-
gresham Reed, have presented their
report on the Wilson tariff bill. 1t is
a severe arraignment Of the measure
and points out it's defects in an un-
sparing manner. What is said about
the revenue to be derived from the
proposed act will especially attract
attention. "The most surprising thing
about this bil1,'' says the report, "is
the fact that this proposition to raise
revenue will lower the revenue Of
this country $74 600, 900 below the rev
enue of 1898, which was only 81, O00,-
900 above our expenses. This fact and
the other fact that by this bill the
larger part Of the burden Of taxation
is transferred from foreigners and
borne by our citizens should always
be kept in mind during the discussion.
Had the committee, in making what
the chairman on the floor Of the
house has called political bill, fol-
lowed the plain, unccmpromising dec
laration Of the party which they rep
resent, and abolished protection, Civ
ing us a tariff for revenue only, nor
task in commenting on the result Of
the committees efforts would have
been much more simple.o
The report then proceeds to skillful-
ly pick the bill to pieces in the light
of history and experience, and to
point out it's prospective damaging
effect upon the finances and indus
tries of the nation. 1t is a strong
presentation of the views of the OPP
position to the bill, and can not fail to
have weight throughout the country,
if not with the majority in the halls of
congress.
