Howo''on Question d stood that
Still Vexot;oue the Islands were
due for union with
the United States but there were many
complaints over the methods used. The
Star OF January 9, 1894, reported. in a
wire from Victoria, British Columbia:
The steamship Warrimo of the Cana
dian Australian line arrived at o'clock
last evening, seven days from Honolulu.
Press representatives boarded her in the
straits from pilot boat, and placed the
first news of the situation in Hawaii in
the hands of the papers" As a local
story, The Star Of the same date
claimed: Despite their efforts to appear
unconcerned at the situation in Hawaii,
the members Of the administration are
man1festly very much excited over the
news brought from Honolulu by the
steamer Warrimo. They no longer ex-
press any doubt as to the correctness OF
the report that Minister Willis demanded
the abdication of President Dole in favor
OF Queen Liliuokalani and that President
Dole has positively refused to accede to
his demands"
Members of Congress who decided to
extended their holiday and remain away
from session got a rude shock
- Nuoe when they were actually
Shork arrested for AWOL. The
account in The Star of Janu-
airy 8, 1894, ran: IT arrest you in the
name of the House of Representatives.
VIII you accept service or shall I read
the warrant to you?' The Speaker was
deputy sergeant at arms and the
person addressed was a somewhat sur
prised and startled member of the
House. whose presence was very much
desired at the Capitol. - Last Satur-
day evening (January g. the sergeant
at arms OF the House started out with
warrants for the arrest of A members,
whose apprehension had been ordered by
resolution adopted by the House. They
were guilty of being absent from their
seats and the House had authority to
cause their forcible return to the Capitol
If they should refuse to come any other
way"
Tariff representatives who were on the
job spent much time in the perpetual
Toriff versus Renublicans
Dehot. over the tariff There
had been q high
tariff under the Harrison administra-
ton; with Cleveland in, this was en-
dangered. "The opening of the debate
in opposition to the Wilson tariff BILL"
said The Star of January 9, 1894, was
accorded to Representative ]. c. Bur-
rows of Michigan, q member of the
Committee on Ways and Means" His
speech was given in full. He clarified in
a few words the different attitudes to
the tariff held by the two principal
parties. The Democrats, he said, re-
garded the sole purpose of tariff as a
way to raise revenue; the Republicans
regarded it as not only a money getter,
but also as a protection to American
labor and capital.
