Business in Shanghai and Hong Kong is

The Globe says the Indian financial
prospects are in state OF chaos and

also means that Gladstone's government

BILE list of incomes exceeding $1,000. The
committee deemed it expedient 10 leave
this margin Of $500 below the exemption
point in order that the returns might be

In case a person having an income OF

ton OF the sugar schedule of the tariff
bill. The pending amendment by Rob.
ertson, imposing a duty on raw sugar
and increasing the duty on refined sugar,
as amended by Warner placing both raw

amendment as a substitute, and it was
carried by l6l to 38. The effect Of this
is to place all raw and refined sugars on
the free list. The great mass of demo.
Gratis and practically all the republicans

full Of democrats, including Wilson and
several other democrats of the ways and
means committee, voted against it.
HAWAIIAN RESOLUTION.
The senate committee on foreign affairs
has reported favorably the following res
olution
Resolved, From the facts and papers
laid before the senate, it is unwise and
inexpedent, under existing conditions,
to consider at this time any project for
the anne xation of the Hawaiian islands
to the United States. International in.
terests require that the provisional gov
eminent shall pursue its own line of
policy. Foreign Intervention in the po-
litical affairs OF these islands would be
regarded as an act unfriendly to the gov
eminent of the United States.
The resolution went over. The resolu.
ton does not affect the investigation in
progress.
