INTERNAL REVENUE.
The Whole Scheme Will Probably Be
Referred to a Caucus.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The Democratic
members of the Ways and Means Commit
tee considered the internal revenue bill to-
daY. The meeting was a spirited one,
many unexpected motions being made, so
that at one time the friends of the income
tax feared they were defeated. At the
outset Tarsney moved that the question
whether the internal revenue features
be reported in an independent bill
be referred to the Democratic caucus.
Aftor an animated discussion vote was
taken aud the motion prevailed by a vote
of 6 to 5. ByDum moved 10 reconsider the
entire revenue bill as practically agreed
on at the meeting some time ago, aud this
motion also prevailed by a vote of to 5.
Bynum voted with the opponents of the
income tax, and the affirmative vote was
cast by Wilson. Breckinridge. Bynum,
Cochran, Stevens and Montgomery. The
negative was by McMillin, Bryan, Whit
ing, Tarsney and Turner.
After some discussion as to the status
vote was again taken on the other inter-
nal revenue features and they were agreed
to as previously decided upon. The DEM
| ocrats who were opposing the income tax.
led by Wilson, then forced a direct vote
upon the question of submitting all the in
ternal revenue features 10 the House as
separate measure and motion to so re-
port the internal revenue bill was agreed
to by a vote of to 5. Bynum voting in the
affirmative. 1t was finally agreed infor-
mally that if caucus to consider the in
cume tax should be called by anv member
outside of the Ways and Means Committee,

Authority Under Which the
American Minister Acted.

.WASHINGTO j an. 12.-PresidenrCleve-
lands Hawaiian message was not sent to
Congress to-day, it being found impossible
TO yet it ready in time, and as the Senate
had adjourned over Sunday the message
will be held now until next week. Uu-
doubtedly the steamer Mariposa. which
leaves San Francisco tonight. will carry
final Instructions to Willis, outlining to
him his conduct in view of the refusal of
the Provisional Government to comply
with his demand. 1t is expected in Con-
gress that these instructions will be in
cluded in what is transmitted TO Congress.
Constitutional lawyers of the House
have detected most interesting legal COM
pication in connection with the Hawaiian
situation which may result in bringing in
question the authority IF Minister Wills
TO make a demand on President Dole to
retire. Up to December Is Cleveland and
the executive branch of the Government
we're directing the course OF Hawaiian af-
fairs. but on that day Cleveland's message
was sent to Congress stating that he wOu i'd
turn the subject over 10 the broader au-
tbority Of Congress. and would thereafter
cooperate IN any just solution which Con-
greSs might propose. The Presidents
course in turning the subject over TO Con-
gress was undoubtedly communicated to
Minister Willis at once. with instructions
of non-action. No steamer left this cOun-
try for Hawaii until December 10, so that
the Presidents conclusion to leave the
matter with Congress could not have
reached Minister Willis until December
IS. Under THESE circumstances there is
n hiatus of eight DAYS from Decem-
ber Is to 26, during which the
authority of Willis TO act is most OBJ
scuTe. It happeus that the date on which
Willis made the demand on President
Dole to retire was December 10, after
Cleveland had given the subject 70 the
broader authority of Congress. Under
these circumstances the lawyers of Con-
gress are asking as TO the authority of Will
lis to act during the hiatus, and particu-
larly as to the validity of his action on
December Il. two days after Congress
received authority to direct his actions.
Judge Cul5ertson. chairman OF the Ju-
dietary Committee. an u'horty on legal
questions, said Minister Willis was bound
by his early instructions until he received
notice that they were changed. 1t made
no difference, ne said, that the President
turned over the subject to Congress Decem-
ber Is. as this fact did not become known
to Willis until December p. so that up to
the latter date he bad authority to execute
his early instructions.

Gus than at first stated. The explosion in
the fort. is variously reported as that of
gun and of a magazine. Fifteen soldiers
were killed and the fort badly damaged.
The explosion of gun on the Tamandare
killed six marines and wounded eight.
The rebels are reported much disheart-
ened by these accidents and PeixOio's ad-
herents are encouraged. The rumor that
an agent of PeixOto caused the explosion
in the fort is denied by the rebels.
The reported refusal of the Nictheroy's
crew to sail is not due 10 the non-pay-
ment of wages, but they demand payment
in advance. The Government refuses this.
and says the Nictheroy, America, Aurora
and other vessels at Pernambuco will sail
south as soon as the entire fleet is gathered
there. 1t is likewise asserted and con-
tradicted that the rebels contemplate at
lacking the Government fleet and then Rio
itself. PeixOto is confident of his ability
to successfully defend the city.

THROUGH HIS HAT.
Secretary Gresham Does a Little
More Talking,

H1OiC L
NEW YORK. Jan. 12.-The Suns Wash
ingtOn special says: Secretary Gresham
has again been talking through his hat.
Yesterday he sent for the news spaper re-
porters, and broke his long silence on the
Hawaiian question By telling them that
the administration would take the public
into its confidence, and TO that end would
send to Congress To-day the contents Of
Minister Willis dispatches. Yesterday
the State Department clerks were put to
work with such haste as they are capable
Of TO prepare the documents for publica-
ton. At to-day's cabinet meeting it was
decided by the President ana his advisers
that the public.should be kept in the dark
little longer. and no message would
be sent to Congress until after the next
steamer arrives from Honolulu.
The public Will not be in ignorance,
however, of what the situation is, even if
the official documents are held back. for
the newspapers have already told the story
fully. Everything is known except the
exact language of President Dole's replv
TO Minister Willis. This document will be
much more interesting than The extracts
which have been published would indicate.
An official of the State Department who
has read the text of President DOle's re-
ply says that it is a very peppery paper
and that it caused much surprise to the
Secretary OF State and probably to Min
lister Willis, for they could not have been
prepared for the very vigorous and deter
mined way in which the Provisional Gov.
rDment declines to step down and out at
the request of Willis.

sugar and alcoholic spirits will be eliml-
mated. The California wine-growerS have
neen urging their Representatives in Con-
gress to have this done, as Eastern wine
merchants under the Wilson provision
could manufacture so-cailed wine by using
sugar and alcoholic spirits very freely with
very little pure grape Juice. Representa-
tive Whiting of Michigan, a member of
the Ways and Means, Committee has been
looking carefully after the interests of
Eastern wine manufacturers. lie caused
an expert on Wne-making, A. j. SwitZer
of New York, to come to Washington and
testify before the committee, and Switzer's
expert testimony, together with Writings
active efforts, induced the committee to
incorporate the provision allowing this
adulteration.
California wine-dealers. vineyardists and
many others interested adopted such
strong resolutions against this provision
that the California R5prese natives IN Con-
gresS have in response to their petition
been using their combined influence TO-
ward having it eliminated from the bill.
They have been trying to convince Repre-
sentative Whiting that the passage of such
provision would be an unjust dscrimiDa-
ton In favor OF Eastern manufacturers as
against those in California making pure
wine. After showing Whiting that the
use of such sugar and alcoholic spirits
was wrong that gentleman promised to
Law the matter before his committee for re-
consideration. He sent for SwitZer, who
was expected to be here to-day and again
testify, but he did not materialze. 1t is
expected he will arrive tomorrow or next
dav.
Messrs. Mcguire and Caminetti say they
believe the obnoxious provision will be
stricken ont. 1t seems that Whiting has a
river in his district upon which he desires
an appropriation to be expended for i'm
prOvement. and as Caminetti is a member
Of the River and Harbor Committee Whit
ing's sudden determination that no injus-
tice shall be done California wine-gro wers
may be prompted by selfish motives.

SOUTHAMPTON. Jan. 12.-Lieutenant
Conway and forty seamen who sailed

Nictheroy arrived here to-day from Per-

sailor named Wilson dropped dead. All
the men seem to be in great distress, and
the utmost discomfort prevails among
them. They declare that Lieutenant Con-
way wants ;hem to return TO America on
the steamer New York, which sails to-
morrow, but several say they will not 60.
All the seamen speak in strong terms of

money due them, so they can return nome.
