ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.
Not Likely to Take Place Before the
Eighth of June.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The Re-
publican Senatorial steering committee
met to-day to consider the order OF
business and to arrange for the closing
of the session. There is a difference of
opinion among the members of the
committee as to what should be done
with the bill to repeal the free alcohol
clause Of the present Tariff Act, but the
best information is that the majority
of the committee will recommend to the
Republican caucus that the bill be
passed. immigration, bankruptcy, re-
funding of the Pacific roads and several
other measures are being championed
by various Senators, but it is not
thought that any of these will be taken
up unless it be for the purpose of max
ing speeches while appropriation bills
are in conference. Owing to delay in
passing the river and harbor bill, the
adjournment of the session. by mutual
consent, appears to have been advanced
week, and the leaders now say that
the end will hardly come before the
Sth of June.

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.
JAPANESE A DISTURBING ELE-
MENT ON THE ISLANDS.
Needs of Cable Communication With
the United States Set
Forth.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE fol-
lowing correspondence of the United
Press, under date of Honolulu, May 9th,
was received per steamship China to-
day:
OF late this Government has felt
measureably relieved of it's recent seri-
Gus apprehensions of interference from
Japan with view of establishing au-
thority over Hawaii with the aid of her
$4,000 subjects already located here
such views appear to have been not
long ago entertained by Japan, but
their present severe complications with
Russia and embarrassments with Corea
and Formosa have latterly led that
Government to confine it's attention to
affairs nearer home. Much uneasi-
ness is still felt on account Of this large
Japanese population in Hawaii, COM
prising a larger number of men than
any other nationality here, the native
Hawaiians not excepted. Such an ele-
ment might prove formidable, if well
organized, against the Government
considering the well-proved political
and military ability of the japanese
No present apprehensions, however, of
any such trouble appear to be called
for. A very great and important Sc
curity against such dangers will bave
been created whenever cable commune
ca ton shall have been established with
the United States enabling indications
of trouble to be promptly reported to
our protecting power.
In an interview with the United Press
representative this afternoon w. r.
Castle, ex-Minister at Washington
said with emphasis: II consider the
japanese question altogether the most
menacing one before this Government.
This large japanese population is rest
less, uncertain in temper, and liable at
any time to break out in impossible de-
mands and disorderly action. In case
of any such disturbance our dealing
with them is liable to be displeasing to
their Government and to lead to de-
rnands for redress. Such demands are
liable to result in peremptory occupa-
ton of the island by Japanese. On this
account we certainly need the earliest
possible cable connection with the
United States"
Several of the excursionists to the
Mauna Loa eruption made successful
ascent to the scene of action, spending
the night of the Doth on the brink of
the great caldera. No outbreak has
occurred on the outside of the mount

expended towards filling the interior of
the pit. four square miles in area. 1t
was estimated that half that space had
been covered thirty feet in depth. An
open fire lake existed of 900 by 1,400
feet as measured. In this lake many
fountains of lava We're playing. The
largest fountain was 80 feet in diam
eter and 25o feet high, in constant ac-
tion with terrific roar. The state
ment sent May 1st proves to have been
inaccurate that Kilauea had resumed
action. Only dense clouds of vapor are
seen in the pit.
