A GENERAL RAID.
The Police Pull all the Houses of III Fame

The Police Pull all the Houses or III fame
Mt Once.
Thirteen was the unlucky number of
houses raided by the police last night.
This included all in town but three
caught before this week and two whose
inmates caught wind of the raid and
scattered. The houses were those of
Kittie Leo, where besides herself six
girls and no men were found; Jessie
Monticello. three girls and two men:
Nellie White, four girls aud two men;
Georgia Frank, five girls and one
man; Ida Blake. three girls
and three men; Lucy Belmont, two girls
and one man; Maggie Conroy, two girls
and one man; Rhea Gray, three girls;
Julia Chisnell, six girls and two men
Ada Foster, three girls and one man
Ann Keim, two girls; Josephine Boyd,
two girls and one man; Annie Tice, for
merly Wiedebusch, two men.
Mrs. Tice locked the door of her house
on Fifteenth street, and the officers
broke in the door, causing much excite
ment in that hitherto peaceful quarter.
She and the two men and six others
were locked up and the rest deposited
cash to cover their fines. There were
seventy in all, OF whom but sixteen
were men.

Yesterday afternoon City Clerk
Thoner paid off the men on the board
of public works roll, $50 in number,
with those having carts. Somewhat
over 5000 was paid out, the amount
going to each man ranging from 60
cents to $40. The scene in the clerks
office lobby was exceedingly pictur-
esque, the men being wedged in like
sardines.
Only few men were worked by the
board yesterday, and at 4:30 p. m. in
the police court room tickets were reis-
sued to thirty-five men who had re-
ceived them before, but had not got to
work. Tho usual crowd was present
and most of those in it had to be dis
appointed.
The present almost sunprecedently
mild weather makes the condition of
the demand tor coal and warmer cloth
ing. A cold spell just now would add
to the bad features of the situation.
Last evening the relief executive COM
mittee met at the chamber of COM
merce. The special committee appoint
ed to confer with the city boards re-
ported that it had met the gas board
and board of public works, but had not
yet had an opportunity to see the water
board. The result of its conferences
was stated, substantially as in yester-
terday's papers, and it was said that
in response to suggestion of the board
of public works, Chairman Maxwell, of
the council finance committee, had
agreed to call that mmittee to meet
this evening to prepare an ordinance ap-
propriating the ten cent levy fund, and
it is thought there will be no difficulty
in getting an ordinance passed by coun-
Gil to that effect. SO that the proceeds of
that fund may be used at once and adj
ditionaI employment furnished. on sew
ers or other work which may be done
out of the fund.
a suggestion was offered that to fur
nish labor and coal at once, the city's
coal in the hill about Seventh street
might be opened again. This was
worked on a lease not very long ago.
The mayor was appointed committee
of one to look into this matter.
There was talk of other devices to
furnish work, but the problem is where.
it may be done. The committee is now
awaiting the action of the city boards,
but meantime recommends to house
holders and business men that they i'm
prove the hygienic conditions and at
the same time furnish needed employ
ment by cleaning their cellars and
premises generally. This need not al
ways involve the hiring OF carts, for
often the men could carry or wheel the
collected dirt to a dumping place.
Capt. Joseph a. Faris has presented
the committee with a fne oil painting,
q very handsome fruit piece. in a neat
gilt frame. This will be displayed to-
day at B. F. Caldwell & Co.'s. on Mar
ket street. The plan is to rattle it off,
each. This ought to. put $lO0 into the
treasury in short order, as it presents

out their end of the agreement right in
that spot. By continuing the work they
hope to convince Governor Mitchell that
the fight will take place in the place
which they are now preparing. Accord

intention at present is quite the con-
trary, provided the opposition of the
authorities remains as strong The
new arrangements include the charter

will be placed Mt the disposal of the
club forty-eight hours previous to the

the contest has been scheduled to take

AUCKLAND, N. u, Jan. 4.-Adyices
from Honolulu to December % have
been received here by the steamer
Alamada which has Just arrived from
San Francisco. The officers of the yea-
sci stated TO an Associated Press re-
porter that the excitement in Homo
lulu over the political situation was
growing in intensity.
The Hawaiian provisional govern
ments was as strong as ever in its deter
mination to maintain its position and
was continuing preparations to resist
any effort that might be made to restore
the monarchy.
The members of the police force of
the islands had been notified that they
would be ex xpected to take arms in de-
fense of the government, and number
of them had been dismissed from the
service for refusing to obey. this order.
The officers further stated to the in
terviewer that the minister of the
United States had written to the pro-
visional government requesting that
they surrender office, as the United
States government had decided in favor
of the restoration of the queen. The
minister, in his communication, In
formed the government that Lilluoka-
lani had agreed to grant amnesty to all
those who had taken part in the revo-g
luton, to ratify the obligations of the
present government and to govern
faithfully in accordance with the pres
ent constitution. The government was
preparing long reply to the minister.
The Commercial Adrertiser, of Homo
lula. in an article supporting the gov
ernment, 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 assert that the
provisional government Will not retire
from power unless it is compelled by
force, and says that this is not likely to
be employed.
Temporary repairs have been made
to the Canadian and Australian Steam
ship Company's steamer Mowers,
which stranded at Honolula last Ooto-
Der. and she will proceed to San Fran
cisco.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 4.-The
Democrats to-day suffered repetition
of their experience of yesterday. Again
theyzwere unable to produce a Demo-
cratic quorum, which the Republicans
insisted they should have before the
tariff debate could proceed. The high
water mark to-day was $50, twelve more
than yesterday, but twenty-nine less
than the requisite number. It was
claimed by the Democratic whip that
over $50 Dem ocrats were in the city and
that some of these who did not appear
to-day are lukewarm in their support of
the Wilson bill, or openly fighting some
of its features, and have deliberately de-
cided to offer no aid toward getting the
bill before the house. One Democrat,
Mr.. Sperry, of Connecticut, although
present. acted with the Republicans to-
day, and refused to answer to his name.
The Democratic leaders are very
much disgusted over yesterdays and to-
days proceedings and assert most yehe-
mently that there is no excuse for the
heavy absenteeism at this important
time, saying that every Democrat un-
derstood when the holiday recess was
taken that the programme was to take
up the tariff bill the day Congress re-
convened
The Republicans are naturally very
jubilant over the success that has at
tended their efforts to block progress
up to this time.
KICKING DEMOCRATS.
Itis almost certain that the Demo-
Gratis will have a quorum present to-
morrow, but two days have already been
wasted and this will probably necessi-
tate an extension of the limit OF the be-
) yond j January II on which day the pro-
gramme contemplated final vote.
There was some talk to-day of carry
ing out the original programme to vote
on January IL and reducing the time
for general debate to four days and de-
bate under the five minutes rules to
seven days With this idea in view
some OF the Democrats who desired to
speak very briefly with the privilege of
extending their remarks in the Record
were in harmony, but several OF them
Threatened to vote against the bill un-
I less they were given the opportunity to
tell the house in open session why they
opposed it in part, or as q whole. It is
likely, therefore, that the time of debate
will be extended at least two days to
make up for the two days that have.
been wasted. The committee on rules
will consider the question tomorrow
morning.

IN THE SENATE.

Senator Honr Calls on tho Treasury to.
Know What Paramount Blounts Ex-
penses We're.
WASHINGTON. D. O., Jan. 4.-The ses-
s sion of the senate to-day was significant
in two respects. Senator Hoar, of the
Republican side, introduced resolu-
tion calling on the secretary of the
treasury for his authority for the pay
ment.of Special Commissioner Blount
for his Hawaiian services, and Senator
Gray, of the Dem ocratic side, served no.
tice that on Tuesday next the Dem ocrats
would insist u pom taking up the federal
election bill and continuing with its con-
sideration until the measure should be
finally disposed of. The object of Sem
ator Hoar's resolution is manifestly to
call into question the right OF the Presi-
dent to send n personal commissioner
to Hawaii, or indeed any commissioner
without the concurrence of the senate
being first obtained by the confirmation
OF his nomina ton and this object is of
course most effectively reached by de-
manding the authority of the secretary
of the treasury for the payment of Com
missioner Blount for his service and eX-
spenses.
Senator zHoar's resolution was as fol-
lows, and was accompanied with re-
quest that it lie on the table for the
present: e
sResolped, That the secretary OF the
treasury be requested to inform the
senate of what sums have been paid to.
the Hon. James II. . BlountE for salary,
services or other expenses as a special
