A fl iWAII AN MESSAGE T is likely to be forth 1 COMING.

Hawaiian Affair*. Washington. Jan. 13. — The Ha waiian dispatches xvera not sent to confess to-day. Undoubtedly tho stemncr Mariposa, which left San Francisco to-night, will cafrv tho Snal instructions to Minister Willis, outlining to him his conduct in view of the refusal of the provisional government to comply with his de mand. It is expected in congress that these instructions will be in cluded in what is to be transmitted to congress. Secretary Gresham said the other day that all further instructions sept to Minister Willis would be sent to congress immediately upon being dis patched. They had to be dispatched to dav in order to catch the Maripo sa. This would leave time for them to be included in the papers sent to congress and thus bring the whole ■matter up to date and make it complete. The dispatches from Minister Willis were the subject of discussion by a full cabinet meeting to-day and it was expected that a budget would be ready for congress after the meeting, hut the copy and comparison will take some time. The dispatches are said to contain 12,000 words, President Dole’s reply to Minister Willis being 5,000 words long. The constitutional lawyers of the house are discussing the question whether the action of Minister Willis in requesting the Hawaiian provision al government December 19. to retire will stand, President Cleveland hav ing referred the entire subject to con gress December 18. Judge Culberson, chairman of the judiciary committee and an authority on legal questions, holds that Minister Willis was bound by early instructions until' he received notice that they were changed. It made no difference that the president turned over the subject to congress December 18, as this fact did not be come known to Minister Willis until December 26, so that up to that timo he had no authority but to carry out his early instructions. A DOUBLE TRAGEDY. A Sensational Harder Mystery In St. Loale. St. Lovrs, Ma, Jan. 13.—The police of this city have suddenly been con fronted by one of the most mysteri ous cases they have ever tried to solve. Yesterday morning a man named Steve K. Wilsko applied at a^boarding house, 1412 Olive street, for a room, finally engaging a room for a week, paying therefore in . advance. He then left tne house, returning late in the afternoon and going, instead of to his own room, to one on the same floor oec upied by Miss Josie Steven son. Late last night a man called at the house to see Miss Stevenson. Going to her room to call her, the landlady found the door open. Miss Stevenson was lying on the floor dead with a bullet hole through her forehead. VVilsko was on the bed some six feet distant, shot twice through the heart Between the two was a revolver, all five chambers of which were empty. The first theory was that murder had been followed by suicide, but af ter examination of the room and the wounds, the police say neither of the dead persons could have fired the fatal shots. The two additional shots fhom the revolver were fired at the man, but missed. Although there were several Persons in the house on both the same floor and the one above, all afternoon, no one heard any shooting or unusual noise. The man who called for Miss etevenson has disappeared and' can not be found. His name has been ascertained to be H. G. Mason, nothing is known of Wilsko and but "i . °? Miss Stevenson. The whole affair js shrouded in mystery and much of a sensational nature is ex pected in its disentanglement. the buying of wives. the Federal Authorities Determined to Stop It In Alaska, Portland, Ore., Jan. 13.—The num ber of white men id Alaska lawfully married to women of their own race “ confined principally to a handful of government officials and naval men stationed there. Nearly all the rest °f the white male population have Purchased native wives, their union with whom is not recognized in law. ,ear>y every grand jury in Alaska as been instructed from the bench to quire into this evil and indict all lolators of the law, but this charge generally a dead letter, as the erage Alaska grand juryman is Jo bringing in a true bill bgaioat himself. _ night the steamer Topeka, " arrived from the north,brought that United States Mar ti.. ,,orter had instructed his depu o ’ thr°ughout the territory to at tM„eiarrost every white man violating is law.

Washington, Jan. 13—Tho advo cates of tho income tax and tho inter nal revenue features of the tariff bill suffered an unexpected reverse at the “***{“£ of the Democratio Mitten” °f the "ays and “»«»“» com doi-8^u0f di’cusslnir the bill as was 7« ? the committee, it was voted (8 to 5) to reconsider the entire deter mination reached at the treasury de partment some time ago. Mr. Bynum ijInd ana made the motion to recon sider and it was his vote which was decisive in securing tho change. Mr. Tarsney followed with a motion torefer the entire subject to a Demo cratic caucus of the house, and this also carried by a vote of 6 to 5. THE TARIFF DEBATE. It Goes Merrily on In the Home-Jerry Simpson Launches In a Broadside. Washington, Jan. 13.—After the reading of the jonrnal in the house to-day the senate amendthonts to the house resolution for the appointment of a joint commission to examine into all questions relating to the personnel of the nary were agreed to. Then Mr. McCreary presented from the foreign affairs committee the Hitt resolution calling upon the president, if not inconsistent with the public in terest, for all information re lating to the Hawaiian affair received since the. transmission of his recent message. He asked unanimous consent for the considera tion of the resolution, but Mr. Rich ardson, Democrat, of Tennessee, ol^ jected. As. he did so Mr.*Boutelie, who had just entered the hall, inter posed to remark that if Mr. Richard son had not objected he should have done so since unanimous consent had been refused to him for the consideration of the naval resolu tion. A house, under the rule of three men, might just as well be held up by one man, he remarked sarcastically. This closed the incident and the tar iff debate was resumed, and Mr. liro sius, of Pennsylvania, completed his speech against the bill begun yester day. Mr. Pendleton, Democrat, of Vir ginia, followed Mr. Black of Pennsyl vania, who sroke after Mr. Everett of Massachusetts. Coming from a terri tory protesting against placing coal on the free list, his speech was espe cially significant. He denounced those of his party who now shirked the responsibility of reforming the tariff and who wanted to hold back in the traces Mr. Payne of New York, one of the Republican members of the ways and means committee, then spoke on the bill Jerry Simpson of Kansas, the leader of the Populists, took the floor and loosed a broadside against protection and trusts. MOB LAW IN OHIO. A Ketro Boy Lynched for Murder of aa Old Couple—Innocence Protested. Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 13.— Roscoe Parker, the negro boy who brutally murdered the aged Mr. Rhine and his wife December 11, was hanged 'by a mob of the best citizens of Winches ter and adjacent points in Adams county at 1 o’clock this morning, about four miles from Winchester. The murder was for money and only $10 was obtained. Parker, who was only 16 years old, had worded for the old couple and had known of Mr. Rhine receiving money from the sale of some stock. The boy confessed his crime, but implicated Sam Johnson, who easily proved his innocence. Lynching was threatened and Parker was taken to Portsmouth for safe keeping. Meantime a secret organization was formed and when it was learned yes terday that Sheriff Dunlap would bring Parker to Adams county for a preliminary hearing and keep him over night in the West Union jail mes sengers were sent out and a band of 400 men met at the Panhandle crossing and rode to West Union. At the jail they tried the ruse of pretending that they had a prisoner, but Sheriff Dun lap, seeing a mask, shut the door and fastened it securely. The mob then used force, and de spite the sheriff’s manly defense soon had Parker and was on its way toward Winchester. The colored boy still maintained that Johnson did the murder and finally when the place agreed upon for the hanging was reached and the rope was around his neck he said he was not at the place of the murder that night and could tell nothing whatever about it He re fused to pray and was hanged after one or two efforts by the somewhat unskillful executioners, who loft him after firing cullots into his body.

Lease to-day appl led to State Auditor Prather for her voucher for last month’s salary as president of the state board of charities, but Mr. Prather declined to comply with her request on account of the action taken by Governor Le welling to secure her removal.

Washixgtox, Jan. 11.—The definite news from Hawaii brought a flood o( inquiries to the state department. Senator Mills of Toxas, was one of the earliest to appear.. Soon after him came James H. Blount, ex-com missioner to Hawaii. He declinod to discuss the news from Honolulu or to talk on the Hawaiian question at all. Mr. Blount said among the people there was a good opinion of the queen, and the sensational stories concerning her found little credence. He referred to the fact that stntoo he had arrived In Washington he had met a lady, the wifo of a congressman from Mississippi, who had been in Hawaii, and knew the queen. The lady stated that at the time of her visit to Hawaii, which was prior to Liluokalani's ascension to the throne, people were honored at receiving at tention from her, and at being privileged to associate with her. FINANCIAL LEGISLATION. Coatmimn O'Neill or MassaohtuetU Proposes Revenue Loan CerttQcntes. Washington, Jan. 11.—Tho bill of Representative O'Neill of Massachu setts authorizing the secretary of the treasury to borrow money up to $100, 000,000, in anticipation of rev enues, ' and . to issue there for loan certificates bearing three per cent interest, is attracting much attention in the financial circles of congress and of the administration. It is regarded os something more than the expression of Mr. O'Neill's personal views as he discussed the subject with Secretary Carlisle and Assistant Secretary Hamlin before in troducing the bill. While giving the measure no dis tinct administration approval, the treasury officials noted the fact that Secretary Carlisle’s recent report sug gested not only an issue of bonds but an alternate plan should congress not authorize bonds Mr. O'Neill’s bill was looked upon as in line with this alternative proposition. BOUTELLE’3 RESOLUTION It Is Favorably Reported by the Naval Committee and Cautes Surprise* Washington, Jan. 11.—A surprise was furnished in the Hawaiian matter 4)y the action of the house committee on naval affairs, which voted to favor ably report the Uoutelle resolution to the house. This resolution is an iron clad one, calling upon the secretary of the navy to inform the house by what authority instructions were issued placing the naval forces under the orders of Minister lllount, and to furnish copies of ail orders or sugges tions issued by himself or any officer of the navy since March 4, 1893, con cerning the naval forces at the Hawaiian islands. An amendment was made changing the date to March 4, 1893, so the operations of the navy in Hawaii under the Harrison administration will be included. The secretary of the navy is instructed to furnish the information, aDd is given no option to withhold documents which he might consider secret or the publicity of which at this time might be regarded as contrary to public poliev. French. Los.ee Not Heavy. Chicago, Jan. 11.—The commission ers and special agents in charge of the French exhibits in the Manufactures building at the world's fair—the sec tion most seriously damaged by the fire of Monday night—declared yes terday that the total damage in that section would not exceed $40,000. No estimates have been made a« to the damage in the other sections. No Strip luveatlga Ion. Washington, Jan. 11.—Those who were interested in securing an investigation of the Cherokee strip opening may as well bury their hopes. There will not be one.

F*-«peelaI Commliiloner AikN to Tall What Ha Kiowa Rtffardloi Bata* tlona of Thla Country With Hawaii— Ha Explains Hit Hauling Down of tho American Fla* and Dafaada It at a Proper Proeaadln* Under the Condition of Affaire Found to Exist. Investigating Hnnallnn Affair*. Washington, Jan. 18.—Contrary to previous announcement, ex-Special Commissioner Blount was this morn ing before the senate committee which is Investigating the relations of this country with Hawaii under the resolution of Senator Morgan. Senator Frye, who' is regarded as the special champion on the commit tee of ex-Mlnlster Stevens and who it had been supposed would have been pleased to have an opportunity to ex amine Mr. Blount, appeared soon after 10 o’clock, the hour of meeting, but excused himself for the time to at tend a meeting of the senate commit tee on commerce. Mr. Dolph sat with the sub-committee. 'The efforts of the committee were directed more t.o securing an explana tion from Mr. Blount of his various acts while in Honolulu than toobtaln ing from him un accurate account of his mission, of which the committee was already sufficiently well informed through his official report. The cx plantion necessary, however, involved direct allusion to, and in some in stances a full account of his proceed ings Mr. Blount told briefly of his ap pointment March 10, 1893, by the f(resident, as special commissioner to nvestigate the condition of affairs on the Hawaiian islands, which had been developed by the revolution of last January. The part the American troops bad taken in the revolution, the fact that the American minister had established an American protectorate over - the islands, and that a provisional govern ment had been formed and was seeking to havo the islands annexed to the United States, caused the presi dent to have the whole matter inves tigated by some one who had no con nection with the islands, and he had been selected for this mission. He considered the appointment within bounds of propriety and precedent The trip to the islands on the Bush, the landing in Honolulu on the 29th of March and Mr. Blount's reception by the people on both sides of the question were passed over almost without mention, as was the fact that both the Annexationists and the Royalists were apparently exceeding ly anxious to make his stay as pleas ant as possible. The decision to have the American ensign taken down and the American soldiers returned to the man-of-war was next revived. Mr. Blount said that he had found the islands and the government entirely under the control or protection of the United States troops. The American flag floated over the government building in which the officers of the provisional government conducted their business. Everywlie^i was no ticed the influence of tuis country upon the people of the islands it was evident that it would bo difficult to secure an impartial account or opinion uninfluenced by the surroundings as long as this state of affairs continued. Consequently, he de cided March 31, two days after his arrival, that, in accordance with the spirit of his instructions in the interest of fair play, the flag should be taken down and the Ameri can troops removed. Of this decision he informed President Dole and on the following day ended the temporary protectorate and had the flag lowered. This proceeding he defended as within the scope of his mission and as an entirely proper proceeding under the circumstances. The subsequ-nt events, he said, proved that the pres ence of the American troops was not necessary to preserve order or protect the life and property of either Ameri cans or natives. KANSAS FARMERS MEET. rapem’of Interest Head by Leading Men 1 —President Smith on the Outlook. Topeka, K n., Jan. 13.—The twen ty-third annual meeting of the state board of agriculture began in Repre sentative hall last night and was at tended by about 309 members. In the absence of Governor Lewelling, the address of welcome was delivered by W. S. Hanna, president of the Farm ers’ Alliance and Industrial union of Kansas. A. W. Smith, president of the board, responded. He said in clos ing: “There is a condition now pre vailing in this state that is hopeful, even though it may not be as satisfac tory as could be wished at present. Not a person in Kansas is suffering for bread, nor are there many persons willing but unable to obtain employ ment As one of the tillers of the soil, I think we have every reason to be encouraged at the prospect for the future." A TRAIN HELD UP. The Robb era. However. Do Not Hake Mach of a Hanl. St. Joseph, Mo., Jan. 13.—The Bur lington “Eli,” leaving’ this city at 6:35 was held up by three masked men about three miles outside of this city last evening, and the safe in the ex press car rifled of its cos tents. The “Eli” is the fast tram between this city and Chicago and makes but few stops, all the local business being done by the St Louis train which follows it shortly afterward. Last evening just as the train was get ting under good headway the engineer was startled to hear the explosion of three torpedoes, which had been placed on the track at the same time a red lantern was swung across the track in the regular style of a brake j man. The wheels of the locomotive had hardly ceased revolving when the engineer and fireman heard a gruff voice from someone beneath the cab, saying: “Come dow n from there, w'e want to use you for a little while." The train men got off the cab and ivi were at once covered by several re* voWere in the hands of masked men. There were five of the robbers, for anch they were, and one of them aatd: “Come along with us and have your friend, the express messenger, open the door; he knows you better than he does us, aud we want to make a call." , Thus covered by tho weapons the en gineer and fireman walked baek to the express car and asked the mes senger to open the door. Having no suspicion as to the cause of the delay the ' messenger readily compiled and was at once coverod with a long rifle in the bands of one of the masked men. Two more of the robbers fol lowed the one with the rifle into tho car, each of them having a pistol i n each hand. "Well, I guess you had better open the safe, and be inlghty quick about it. for we want what's in It," said one of the men, and the safe was opened as requested. The robber then took all , the valuables in the sufe, and wanted to know if that was all that was to be had. Upon being assured that it was they climbed out of the cor and told the trainmen to proceed. Then firing their revolvers In the air they disap peared in the darkness, tho whole af fair occupying only a few minutes. All of the trainmen are of the opinion that the robbers were ama teurs, for during the whole proceed ings they appeared nervous and very much excited, and all of their work seemed very much bungled. From Cameron Junction the express messen ger, who had time to look over his bills, telegraphed to W. II. Morley of the Adams Express company that the total amount secured was but 847. A BOLD, BAD MAN. Ha Order! Nina Men to Throw Up Tlielr Hand! nnd - All Comply. Fresxo, Cal., Jan. IS.—George Leon, the station agent, and three men em ployed as seotion hands were In the depot at Fowler at 7 o'clock last night just after the Los Angeles express had passed, when a masked man with a revolver In each hand, appeared at the open door and ordered them to throw up their hands. Not one of them hesitated to obey. At this juncture Howard Harris and A. Vincent^ prominent business men of Fowler, stepped upon the depot platform and took in the situation, and were about to run away and give the alarm when the robber espied them through a window, and, still keeping the other men covered, backed slowly out of the door and ordered Harris and Vincent into the depot, Saying he would kill them if they re fused. They obeyed. The masked man then stood the six citizens up along the wall covering them with one revolver and went through their pockets. He secured a little over #70. The daring freebooter then ordered his six prisoners into the street and made tnem walk down town through the principal thoroughfares into Kutner Goldstein's grocery. It was evidently his intention alone and single handed, to loot the grocery. However, just as the bandit ordered three men in tho store to throw up their hands, Constables Ochs and Nel son appeared and a shooting affray began. Ochs, with pistol, drawn, rushed into the Btore. The bandit turned upon him and fired, and Ochs fell and rolled out through the door, firing at the robber from the floor. His aim was wild, however, and he shot one citizen through the arm and and another in the breast. The man hit in the breast was struck by aspect bullet and not seriously hurt, though knocked down. During the general fusiiade the rob ber escaped and disappeared in the darkness. During tho battle in the grocery, a wagon dashed up to the door and the driver began shooting at Constable Ochs, thus aiding in the es cape of the robber within. Tho man in the wagon then drove rapidly away. This man answers the de scription of Chris Evans. In the other robber, who wore a bandana hand kerchief over his face, the men at tacked believe they recognized Ed Morrell. The robber told them, also, that his name was Morrell. It is believed here that the bandits, becoming pressed for food and money, came down from tho mountains de termined to makea raid. A posse left this city last night to organize a pur suit from Fowler. Constable Charles Ochs, who Is badly wounded in the right thigh and groin, was one of the jueors who con victed Chris Evans of the murder of Deputy United States Marshal Vie Wilson. Ochs declares that he wound ed the younger of the two robbers. MISSED TWO FORTUNES. Th< Men Who Bald Up the Burlington Did Not Know Their ltuslneM. St. Josefu, Mo., Jan. 12.—The bandits who held np the Burlington's “Eli” train last night made a great mess o( the job. Express Messenger Wetzel was busy with his packages at the time and, when the knocks came, he instinctively suspected that mis chief was on foot. When the robbers fired two or three shots ho was cer tain and he kicked a package of $10, 000 in bills consigned to the Commer cial National bank of Chicago under the stove of the car. Then he opened the door and the robbers entered. There was only one small safe in the car and this contained only 847.80. The men covered Wetzel with rifles and revolvers. After they had cleaned out the safe, with oaths and grumbling they asked if that was all there was in the car. The messen ger assured them that it was and they climbed down without looking about the car. In the meantime Postal Clerk Gage had barred the doors of his car, and, revolver in hand, was ready for the bandits. The outlaws, however, merely tried the door and did not at attempt to break in. In consequence, they missed another rich prize, for the registered pouches were the most valuable sent from this city for months. Strangers fight a Dae!. Bait Lake, Utah, Jan. 13.—Frank Joyce and Tim Crow met at Park City yesterday morning and Joyce opened fire on Crow, mistaking him for a man against whom he had a grudge. Crow responded promptly, and a number of shots were fired. Joyce was fatally wounded in the abdomen. Crow was shot in the breast and leg. The men are strangers. THE TARIFF DERATE. % Hr. Dll»|l*7 Of Ho Ido Bitterly DoooooooO the WUaoo HUk Washifotof, Jon. 13.—In tho tariff > debate to-day Mr. Breckenrldge, Dem ocratof Kentucky, took the floor and delevered a brilliant plea for the Wll» son bill. v! Mr. Dingley followed with a bitter attack on.tariff reform. He laid that . the pending tariff bill purported to bo ' a bill to provide fot revenue but wm in fact a bill to abol- ■ lsh revenue. The Demooratio majority who had reported it had been accustomed to charge that Republican tariffs ignored revenue In order to protect home Industrie*. ', They presented a so-called revenue bill as a substitute which if* K, nored revenue in order to v destroy protection. The revenue • bill would yield 18,000,000 less than %!. the tariff of 1800. This largo surren* dor of revenue was to be made, too, at ‘ ' a time when there was a deficit of <:J 338,000,000, in the first half jf of the present fiscal year,1 which would be inoreased to more than 360,000,000 by July ' next, oaused by the distrust induoea . by the apprehension of the revolu- . tionary tariff changes proposed and when the secretary of the treasury in- ; ' formed congress that if tho present revenue laws should be unchanged .there would bo sufficient revenue for the next fiscal year, just as there was In the fiscal years 1803 and 1803. In short the proposed tariff was not a bill for revenue only, but for a deficiency also. There was a surrender ; of about 31+, ooo,000 In duties on imported liquors, Havana and * other foreign cigars end leaf tobacco, silks and laces and embroideries, kid ":J gloves, ostrich feathers, eto., artl* > eles of luxury or voluntary use con sumed mainly by the well to da: >4 The poor people must be greatly: ii relieved at such reductions Of the St’.uoo.uou of revenue surrendered in reduced duties on imported manu-' factures of wool more than half was on fine goods, oonsumed by men of : means, who wanted something "Eng lish you know," and who were will ing to pay for it Tbs same was true of half of the 8,000,000 ' of revenue surrendered on im ported fine cotfons and manyi=" other goods. Not far from 30,000,000 of duties are surrendered on imported & V luxuries or articles of voluntary use. Then about 0,000,000 of revenue is sur rendered by a reduction of the duty 1 on tin plate, one cent per pound, which Is now in large part practically paid by the Welsh manufecturer. MUST HAVE BONDS, Carlisle Bo DioUm Btfm the but* v Finance Commute*. i1} ■ Washington, Jan. 12.—Secretary 'j Carlisle appeared before the senate . finance committee yesterday after-, noon and asked for authority to issue ; bonds. He thinks an issue of bonds the best way to meet the apparently.' rapidly approaching crisis in the ‘ treasury. , The secretary dwelt briefly upon the steadily diminishing gold reserve, and stated that, instead of increasing as be had hoped the government re- ' ceipts would do, they had continned to diminish until there was coming to be a monthly gap of about fil0,000,000 -: between the receipts and expendi- ‘ turea He said the act of 1875 for the resumption of specie payments, which ' also authorised a bond .issue, should be so amended as to permit this issuance for a shorter time and at a' lower rate of interest than provided in that act. The country would not1 ; ju stify the secretary in taking advan-j tage of the old authority because United States bonds could be disposed) of at a much lower rate of interest! \ and for far shorter time. He thought ' it would be a very easy matter to sell1 bonds en ough to tide over the present urgency—to meet the prospective de* * ficicncy of the present fiscal year—at t ? 3 per cent, interest and running for, three, four or five years. 1 There was a general interchange of opinion among the members of the .. committee and enough was developed : to show that it is going to be very difficult for the committee to agree . upon a bill. The meeting diapered' without any action.
