HAWAIIAN QUESTION MUST WAIT.
Washington, Jan. 5.--Mr. McCreary
chairman of the house committee on for
eign relations, was very doubtful, wher
the house opened to-day, Of the prospect
of taking up the Hawaiian question. 81
have not been able to secure time from
the ways and means committee" said he
"as they are anxious to push the tariff
bill to vote without any interruption. :.
"Does that mean that He waii will be re.
tired from the house at presentf" "Prob.
ably" said the governor. II have done
my best to secure consideration for it,
and, having done that much, don't
know as l am called upon to push the
question"
OPPOSING GARRETT -BAadEns.
There will be another contest in the
senate over the confirmation of persons
appointed from the eastern states as In
dian agents and other Offices in the west.
During the present session of congress
there will be q protracted fight in the
senate against the confirmation Of this
class of appointments, not because there
are any objections to the men personally,
but because the principle is opposed.
Senator Hill, of New York, is one of few
! Democ who supported the Repub-
licans in the fight. Every man sent from
one state to hold a settled appointment in
another state or territory was opposed in
executive session by Senator Hill. The
| fight was led by many senator's from the
west as it is generally to the west that
some eastern man was sent.
REPUBLICAN SENATORS WILL NOT FILL
The policy of the Republicans on the
election repeal bill in the senate is not to
be to antagonize the measure by filibus-
terlng. Several speeches will be made
against the repeal, and Republican SEN
ators will insist on having sufficient time
to make their speeches. A Republican
member of the committee ON privileges
and elections says he thinks the bill will
pass after ten days debate.
MRS. cooKRELL VERY ILL.
Mrs. F. NJ. Cockrell, wife of Senator
Cockrell, of Missouri, is seriously ill of
pneumonia. She is not expected to re-
cover. The disease was contracted on
the occasion of her daughters debut on
Wednesday of last week, but was not con-
sidered serious until yesterday, when the
symptoms became alarming and 50 have
continued ever since.
To-DAYs HOUSE,
The house opened in an uproar. Gen.
Catchings, of Mississippi, is trying to re-
port from the committee on rules and
Mr.. Boutelle, of Maine, is demanding a
vote on his question Of privilege.
The house committee on r5ss has de-
cided to report rule for a final vote on
the tariff bill on January 25.
At o'clock the chances of securing
quorum in the house to take up the tariff
bill was 80 small that Gen. Wheeler con-
fessed with Speaker Crisp and Chairman
Holman that it would probably 20 over
to next week.
On unofficial vote the Democrat lacked
eight CT quorum of the caucus commit
tee and it was agreed that if Democratic
quorum could not at once be found an
adjournment would be taken and that the
house caucus would be set for O'Clock
p. m. tonight, and something should be
done at once and continue until some
Several absentees are expected on the
afternoon trains and instead of adjourn
ing to hold the caucns this afternoon if
quorum is not procured on the pending
vote, it has been concluded to continue
the fight for an hour or two longer.
The house is still without voting
quorum lacking twelve votes at 8 D. m.
The Populists offer to furnish quorum
provided they are permitted to have
week of general debate.
MUCH ANXIETY
There is great anxiety about the state
department over unofficial reports from
Auckland relative to Hawaiian matters.
All sorts of rumors are afoat that blood
has already been spilled in Honolulu.
THE BANK TAX.
Representative Hall, of Missouri, who
has been one of the most earnest ad-
vocates of the repeal of the 10 per cent
tax on state bank circulation and who
was one of the sub-committee who pre-.
pared plan for repeal, including federal |
supervision, now says that he could not |
even guess what will be done by the bank
ing committee with this matter when they
meet again. The regular meeting Of the
committee is to-day, but it is probable
that action will be postponed until Tues
day next.

of the act of congress, that it is NO longer
