WASHINGTON, May Probably few
members in congress realize just how
strained the situation in Hawaii is to-
day. A letter dated April s. received
by c. G. Mareno from r. Wilcox OF Hon
olulu, puts the case in this way:
Every Hawaiian expects to learn Of
the final decision of the Hawaiian ques-
ton on arrival OF the steamer Mariposa,
which is expected Oh the 18th of May.
They look only for fair play on the part
of the senate. They ask simply that
the senate support Cleveland's policy for
the restoration OF the statu.quo, which
on the 10th of January, 1892, when
Stevens, the lingo representative of the
United States overthrow the legitimate
government and established mission
airy oligarchy, which is a curse to us and
a disgrace to modern civilization. The
Hawailans are keeping the peace, not
withstanding the insults they have re-
ceived from the prIvisic nal government,
for they wish to show every regard and
courtesy to President Cleveland and his
policy, A bloody revolution will follow
however, il the senate fails in its duty
and throws contempt upon the honor,
intee rity and justice of the policy of the
chief magistrate of the United States
toward Hawaii. Whatever tho senate
may do, you may be assured that l will
do my duty to my country and that
very soon. H. M. Damon, minister of
finance of the provisional government,
has given his assurance to Samuel Parker
that the provisional government would
retire in body and surrender control
of the kingdom to the queen as soon as
it is learned that the senate approves of
Cleveland's policy. The scheme of the
provisional government for inducing the
Hawaiians TO forswear their independ-
ence and iorsake their queen turns out
a complete failure. The Chinese have
organized as body to secure the restor-
alton of the queen in case the United
States senate fails to do justice. The
japanese have taken the same course.
These, bear in mind, are all apart from
the Hawaiians themselves and from
white foreigners. The Hawaiians are
going to hold mass meeting next Mon
day to denounce the fraudulent coAsti-
tutional convention and the mock re-
public set up by the missionaries"

WASHINGTON, May To-day Senator
Jones presented about 400 amendments
to the tariff bill, which have been con-
sidered and agreed to by the democratic
senators. There is a general crease IN
the bill, and in some schedules the in
crease is very marked. Senator Harris
announced that he would oppose execu-
tive sessions on the passage of any bills
during the morning hours until after
the tariff bill was disposed OF, Some of
tie changes in the tariff bill by amend
ments introdL ced in the senate as a re-
suit OF the democratic compromise are
as follows:
The new sugar schedule provides

shall DO levied, collected and paid on all

ad valorem, and upon all sugars above

duty of ! Of a cent; imported from
countries which pay bounty, l 10 of a

with Hawaiian reciprocity arrangements.
Few paragraphs are inserted of drugs
such as banks, beans, berries and roots,
10 per cent, ad valorem. The duty is
raised on common glass of all kinds;
pigiron and manufactures thereof are

Tnere is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies,
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con-

famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-

unless the inflammation can be taken

Some interesting experiments were late
~ made by DR. Mesmer, Gays the London
News. by way of solving the question
whether or not rifle bullets are liable 10
carry infection with them in their course
of entry into the body. He made his
trial with bullets which had been Infected
with germs of particular kind. and the
injected bullets We're shot into tin boxes
from distances varying from 20 to 30
meters-a meter being nearly feet 81
inches. Inside the boxes were placed
gelatin peptone in sterilized or germless
condition, SO that whatever germ devei-
cpments We're found In the peptone (Which
is a great growing medium for microbes)
would be presumed TO have come from the
bullets. The tracks of the bullets through
the gelatinc were duly scrutinized, with
the result that IN each case. germ growth
took place corresponding TO the particular
microbes with which the bullets had been
respectively infected. In another series OF
investigations the bullets ere made to
pass through infected flannel before pene-
trating the gelatine, the bullets being
OF the ordinary kind. Here, again, micro
bic growth appeared in the gelatine
showing that the flannel had yielded up Its
microbes 10 the bullets as they trayersed
it, III non-infected and ordinary bullets
were used, the gelatine developed only
the ordinary germ life. such as the air
contains. The bullet is. therefore, "a germ
carrier of very decided kind, and IL is
also clear that il clothing is penetrated
by bullet prior 10 its entrance into the
tissues. the missile will be liable TO carry
into the wound it makes the bacteria
resident on the clothes.

Saturn and His Rings.

Every one who has given even the least
attention possible TO astronomical enriOs,
says the st. Louis Republic, knows that
Saturn presents a phenomenon 10 when
there is nothing analogous in the whole
of the solar system-two broad, fiat and
very thin rings being his constant atten-
dants in his trips around the sun. Calico
first noticed a popularity in the appear
ance of this ringed planet, which he said
appeared like large body placed bet
ween two smaller ones" Huygens first
described the rings, and figured them Tor
the benefit of those not fortunate enough
10 own "a telescope. The breadth OF these
rings from the outer diameter Of the larg-
or to the inner edge Of the smaller has
been computed at $500 miles total dia-
meter OF the outer ring, 1896 miles; and
d space Of 1900 miles Is supposed TO inter-
vene between the inner edge Of the small
ring and the surface of the planet itself.
The composition of these rings, or rather
this system of rings (some authors mem
ton three and even four, although two
seems to be the number accorded by the
majority of wrters). Is simply a. matter
of conjecture. Some astronomers claim
that they are composed Of material SINH
lar to that of the planet itself, while
others are sure that they are composed
Of numerous satellites lmoons) mingled
with vaporous matter travelling in planes"
Maxwell says: "The rings must be formed
Of separate particles moving around the
planet as independent satellites" Accord
ing to Otto Strive, observations on the
rings for a period Of over two hundred
years prove beyond a doubt that they are
widening and that the lower edge Of the
inner one is slowly but certainly approach
ing the body of the planet.
