-e ENGLISH DICTATION.
Tho London Times Undertakes "a
StiRen Cleveland's Back.

Sttnen Clevelan0'0 hack.
LONDON. Jan. 1O.-The Times, comment
ing on the advices from Hawaii which
reached Victoria. B. c.. last night. says:
Notwithstanding the illusions Of Presi-
dent Dole to the rights Of Hawaii as q
sovereign state. 1t is indeed probable that
he and his associates place their chief
hopes in the exigencies Of American poll
tics rather than In the wishes OF the popu-
lation Of Hawaii. That the provisional gov
ernment Is well advised in assuming an at
titude OF defiance toward the President Of
the United States may indeed be doubted
Although 1t has been rumored that he will
accept a compromise, Mr.. Cleveland has
shown that he has a stiff back, and he
thinks that his countrymen admire 1t, and
1t Is quite possible that in the long run he
may show himself as resolute and deter
mined in his Hawaiian policy as he was
upon the silver question. II the report that
Senator Turpie's resolution represents the
present views Of the administration should
turn out to be well founded II will be an
interesting and instructive exercise even to
those best versed in American politics to
observe by what conceivable sophistry Mr.
Cleveland will try to reconcile his recogni-
tion in January OF the government he at
tempted to depose in December. We are
inclined to discredit the rumor. II anything
could make such a retreat harder than his
own emphatic assurances that the pro-
vtstonal government is In the wrong, it
would be the circumstance that the MEM
bers Of that government openly defied
him"

TO GET BACK AT HILL.
The President May Veto the New York
Bridge Bill.

There was AN interesting rumor af1oat
at the Capitol today. 1t was to the effect
that the President sees in the Hudson river
bridge bill an excellent opportunity to Sc
cure revenge upon Senator Hill for his on
position to the Hornblower nomina ton.
This bill. which was finally signed by the
presiding officers of the two houses of Con-
gress yesterday, Is now in the hands of the
President for his approval or rejection, and
the story goes that he has let 1t become
known that he does not intend to act upon
the bill until the Senate acts upon the nom
ination Of Mr.. Hornblower. Should the
name be finally rejected by the Senate, 1t
is rumored, he will veto the bill and de-
pend upon his friends in the Senate to pre-
vent its passage over the veto. This, II is
thought. would be a particularly effective
form of revenge, as Senator Hill is very
directly interested in the project and fought
for its passage with unusual energy at the
last session: There are commercial and
engineering reasons that the President
might summon to his aid in vetoing such
measure without exposing himself to
criticism for having vetoed the bill as
mere matter of vengeance. OF course, no
confirmation or denial Of this story is to
be had at present The Hornblower nomi-
nation is sure to be acted upon by the SEN
ate long before the ten-day limit on the bill
has expired.

MIR. McMillin has concluded his bill pro-
viding for methods of collecting an income
TAX and there Is to be a meeting of the
democrats Of the committee on ways and
means late this afternoon to consider the
matter. The committee having already ap-
proved the principle Of the bill the formal
measure Will probably be adopted without
any change. The serious question before
ihe committee is whether 1t shall be brought
IN as a part Of the regular tariff bill or
tsSd.eo as separate measure. The proba-
oLnues appear to be that 1t will be adopted
as a separate measure The situation is

MUST HAVE FIRE ESCAPES.
A Bill Introduced by Senator Harris Ot
Local Interest.


Senator Harris today by request Of the
District Commissioners introduced a bill
amending the act approved January 26,
1881. for the protection Of property and life
from destruction by fire. This bill is the
result of an inquiry recently inaugurated
by the Commissioners as to their power
under the law to enforce the regulations
as to the erection Of fire escapes. A letter
from Attorney Thomas accompanies the
bill. showing that, in his opinion, the exist
ing law is defective In that there is no pro-
vision which enables the Commissioners to
enforce the provision and urging the adop-
ton Of a new section to the bill which RENE
dies this defect The bill consists, therefore,
of the following new section 3:
THAT it shall be unlawful to issue a
building in the District of Columbia used
as a hotel. factory. mandatory, theater
or tenement house, hall or place of amuse-
ment or other building used for a business
for which a license is required, unless the
application for such license Is accompanied
with the certificate of the inspector of
buildings that such building is provided
with fire escapes. standpipes. ladders, lights
alarm gongs and descriptive notices as re-
quired by sections 1 and 2 of said act-act
of January 26, 1887.
That on the failure or neglect after thirty
days notice Of the owner or lessee of any
tenement house, or to the trustee of any
building used as seminary. college, academy
hospital or asylum In the District OF Co.
lumbia to provide fire escapes, stand
pipes. and SO forth, such persons shall be
liable to a fine Of not less than $50 nor
more than $lOU for each day he or they
shall fail to provide the same; such fine
to be collected by prosecution In the Police
Court in the name Of the District OF Co.
lumbia- And in default of lessees trus-
tees. or owners in putting up said fire
escapes, said District Commissioners are
empowered, and 1t is their duty, to cause
such fire escapes to be erected, and they
are hereby authorized to assess the cost
thereof as tax against the buildings on
which they are erected and the ground on
which the same stands. and to issue tax
lein certificates against such buildings
and grounds for the amount of such as
sessment, bearing interest at 10 per cent
per annum, which certificates may be turn
ed over by the Commissioners to the con-
tractors for doing the work. Provided,
also, that lessee, owner or trustee OF
any building who shall fail to erect fire
escapes. &c, as In said act provided. shall
be liable to an action for damages in case
OF debt or personal Injury resulting from
fire in buildings not provided with fire
escapes as required by said act; and that
such action may be maintained by any
person or persons now authorized by law
to sue as in other cases of injury or death
by wrongful act"

Ex-Commissioner Blount. In an interview
published this morning is reported to have
said:
''The members Of the provisional govern
ment must recognize the desperate charac-
ter OF their case. They know perfectly well
that IT was intended as a bridge to carry
them over into the United States. But an
nexation did not come. They know perfect
ly well that their government could not pos
sibly last If submitted to a popular decis-
ion. They have taken the leap. and realize
perfectly well that they have got to land
somewhere. and the question is where do
they propose TO land?'
Replying to these remarks. Prof Alexan-
der formerly surveyor general Of Hawaii.
says Col. Blount certainly has been .nisled.
