THE MATTER REFERRED TO COHGRESS The Head of th Provisional Oovaramant AeaaseMiafliafleetlag oa tfa president of the United Btatee Tha Lata JJawallaa Corraspoadeae Trass salt ted to Congress by tba Presldeot. WASimtOTOK, Jan, 22. The president in a brief note transmitted to-day submitted to congress the latest cor respondence relating to Hawaii. It comprises some brief notes from Min ister Willis to Secretary Cresbam which are unimportant, but the chief features of which are letters between Minister Willis and President Dole, in one of which the minister com plained of an utterance of President Dole as reflecting on the president of the United States and a letter from President Dole in which he specifically Inquired If Minister Willis's instruc tions authorized the use of force. Both these matters appear to have been settled by the receipt of the last message of the'president to congress and the Instructions of Secretary Oresham to Minister Willis. The most important part of the cor respondence consists of a long letter from Minister Willis to Secretary Creshnm containing enclosures of the correspondence between President Dole and himself. Letter No. 20f, dated January 5, to Secretary Grcsham says: On Wednesday, the 27th ulk, at 12 a. m., th steamship Oceania arrived with newspapers containing the presi dent's special message in full, to gether with the instructions to Mr. Blount and myself, The message was reproduced in the afternoon papers ander conspicuous headlines. At 4 o'clock the same day I received four page, closely written letter, which I inclose, from Mr. Dole, minis ter of foreign affairs, asking to be in formed "with the least delay whether you (I) held instructions to enforce your policy with the use of arms in any event." The information desired, although fully embodied in the president's message, might have been asked for, and except for the remarkable state ments contained in the letter, would have been promptly and satisfactorily given in a few words. Confident that the charges so sur prisingly and unjustly made could not be sustained, an answer, herewith en closed, was on the following (Thurs day) morning, sent to Minister Dole, asking that they be made more direct and specific On Friday morning, 29th ult., I re ceived a letter from Mr. Dole, here with enclosed, saying: "The special message of the president lias rendered any further correspondence on the subject of my letter of the 27th of De cember unnecessary, as the message satisfactorily answers the question. But," he added, "if you still desire the specifications requested, I will be ready to furnish them." The instructions to me from the president had been strictly followed, or If departed from at all It had been in favor of the beneficiaries of our wrong doing. I felt, therefore, that the statements contained in the letter of Mr. Dole of the 27th ultimo were di rected, not to me personally, but at the president, and should be qualified or absolutely withdrawn. Believincr from the high character and sense of justice of Mr. Dole that.il he re-examined his letter such would be the result, I wrote him a note which I enclose This note was delivered at hia resi dence on the evening of the same day (Friday, December 29,J upon which his second letter was received. Hav ing no- answer up to Sunday night, December 31, and having occasion to communicate with his collegue, Mr. Damon, upon another matter, I called his attention to the failure of Mr. Dole to reply to my note, which I ex. plained to him was written with no unfriendly purpose, but as by itself declared "for the best interests of all." He informed me that the "ad visory council met the next day at noon and he thought the subject would then receive attention." At 3 p. m. of that day, January 1, I received the letter from the Hon. 8. B. DoU, herewith inclosed, in which he states: "It is not my intention to withdraw any of my letters." This, of course, left every charge and state ment in full force as of that date. Be lieving that these charges, whether so Intended or not, reflected very unjustly upon the president, whose agent I was, at 6 p. m. of the same day (Mon day, January 1,) 1 replied in the in closed letter that the "desired speci fications be furnished at the earliest convenience." I'p to this hour (Friday, January 5.) no reply has been received to this request nor hare I any intimation when on may U ex pected. My request for specttlcstions Las been in the hand of uiluUtrr of foreign affair since Monday, January I, at a o'clock. had hoped to re ceive it in time to answer 'e strainer Peking, Waving to-day at t o'clock, and espeeially a Mr. Thurtn and Mr. faith, lata tic president of the provisional governmat, leave to morrow on the Australia for the t'nitad States, This delay in answer In la a rrest surprint and regret. lam fully prepared t show that very Up taken by the rpr tenta tive, of our government ha baen in thn directum of paee and gwl order.

Very respectfully, Aleeb? 8. Willis. mb. pole's rote. The note to Mr. Willis from Presi dent Dole, referred to above, was as follows: DEPABTMK3TT OT FoRKIOV ArFAIBS, IIosolclc, Dec. 87, 1893. Sir: Pend ing the further action of the govern ment of the United States upon the matters in the communication of De cember 19 and my reply to the same dated December 23, I desire to call your excellency's most serious con sideration to the dangerous, critical condition of this community, arising, I must respectfully submit, out of the attitude which you have assumed and the language which you have used in public and in communications to this government, and also out of the pub lihhed letter of the secretary of state of the United States and the presi dent's letter on the subject of restora tion of the monarchy. I do not, how ever, claim or intimate that this un fortunate situation has been inten tionally created by you or by the gov ernment which you represent, but arises from a natural construction of your attitude and due to the am biguous terms of the statements re ferred to. Under these circumstances there arose at once a trcneral feeling of dis quiet. The natural inference from your attitude, language and refusal to disclose your purpose and from Mr. Oresham letter and the president's message was, and is, that you in tended to use lores in maintaining your policy. The apprehensions of both political parties as well as per sons who remain neutral in these mat ters is that you hold instructions to use physical force for the restoration of the monarchy. I am not prepared to state that this government enter tains this opinion, although its want of information to the contrary has compelled it to act as if it were cor rect Bumors o Intended landing of your forces for offensive purposes have agitated the community for many days. The situation for weeks has been one of warfare, without the incident of actual combat. Even the ex-queen has called upon this govern ment lor protection, which was awarded her. Owing to your atitude the public has been compelled by pub lic apprehension to largly increase its military force at great expense: its oflices have been placed and still con tinue in a condition of defense and preparation for siege and the commu nity has been put into a state of mind bordering on terrorism. The government has most earnestly sought from you and through our rep resentatives at Washington from your government some assurance that force would not be used and has failed to obtain It. Your action has unfortunately arous ed the passions of all parties and it may be possible that disturbances may be created at any moment. I am in formed by military authorities that, while the force at your command is sufficient to destroy this city, it is in sufficient to suppress any general rising and conflict of armed forces and insurrections or to prevent the loss of life and property. This government is reluctant to believe that this con dition of affairs was contemplated or expected by yourself or by the presi dent of the United States, I have, therefore, to ask you to in form me without the least delay whether you hold instructions to en force your policy with the use of arms. In any event I trust that you will be able to reply to give assurances that will tend to allay the apprehensions existing in the community. I have the honor to be, with the greatest consideration, your excellen cy's obedient servant, San ford B. Dole, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The remainder of the correspon dence consists of communications be tween Minister Willis and President Dole, referred to in the letter of Sec retary Ureshara. COAL MINES SHUT DOWN.

Da Declaree That the Propoaad Law Is a Manifest Injustice Congressman Hall of Mlesoorl Defend tha Measure Very Energetically ad Explains Its Provis ion Quite f ully. WAsnrsGTOx, Jan. 22. Congrcsfcman S perry, Democrat of Connecticut, who is one of the most active opponents of the income tax idea, declares that the committee has in no way overcome the objection that an income tax is in quisitorial. They do not pry into the incomes of citizens, but leave it for the citizen having an income of over 3,500 to voluntarily make a report as to whether his income exceeds $4,000. This "voluntary" proposition gives no protection to the citizen. The gov ernment assessors will select such citizens as have not made a voluntary statement and will pry into their af fairs. The voluntary system also "puts a premium on liars." Mr. Sperry points out that it will be absolutely impossible for business men to make a voluntary statement as to the amount of their income. He cites an actual case which has come to his attention of a man who has used a large stock of raw wool to make wool en hose without expecting to sell the goods and merely for the purpose of keeping his men employed. The trans action resulted in a net loss of $30,000. He also says that large commercial j concerns will never be able to make an estimate of their incomes, They are in the habit of giving credit at from four to six months and their book accounts seldom or nev r show what their income is. If the book accounts are paid it represents income, other: wise it represents loss. There is no practical means of obviating this dif ficulty. In the plan to have the disbursing officer of firms or corporations pay the tax on salaries of employes. Mr, Sperry said that the proposed law shows its manifest injustice. A salary is ascertainable and it is not like the uncertain profits of a business firm. And yet the employer is compelled to do the bookkeeping and assume the burden of looking after the taxes on all the salaries of his employes. Mr. Hall of Missouri, on whose bill the income tax measure was based, said to-day: "1 find there is much apprehension as to the amount of in come which will be subject to a tax. If, for instance, a man receives a salary of 85,000 a year, the opinion seems to prevail that this entire salary is subjected to a two per cent tax. As a matter of fact, how ever, all classes of incomes have an exemption of 94,000 so that the man receiving a salary of 85,000 would pay a tax on only $1,000. One of the most inexplicable things to me is the opposition to this income tax bill, as passed by the ways and means com mittee, from the wealthy classes of the United States. This bill should have been entitled "A bill to suppress demagoguery and the growth of an archy and socialism." One of the objections urged against the income tax is that it is inquisitorial in its character. So is the custom house inquisitorial. The danger arising from an investiga tion of the operation and methods of business men is entirely destroyed by the first part of section 10 of the bill which punishes severely any collector or deputy collector who divulges any information regarding a person's finan cial condition. I asked the members of the ways and means committee if they could even theoretically frame a tariff bill without an income tax that would yield a sufficient revenue for the years of 1895 and 1806 and not have a deficit of 825,000,000 for 1897 and 1898. They said it could not be done." THE SUGAR SCHEDULE. The Hottest Fight on the New Tariff Hill Yet to Come. Wasih.ngton, Jan. 22. The most determined fight of all those produced or likely to be produced by the Wil son tariff bill will be inaugur ated Monday whpii. accordiR" to agreement, the sugar schedule will engross the attention of the house. It is a question whether even the income tax proposition will be as sharply fought, for that scheme is dependent to a large degree upon the sugar matter. If the proposal to tax imported sugar one cent per pound shall be received with favor, it is probable that the income tax idea will be dropped because of Eastern opposition and because the sugar tax will supply the deficiency, to meet which It has been proposed to tax in comes. Mr. Harter of Ohio, a Democratic leader of highest lighting ability, will on Monday move an amendment to the Wilson bill doing away with the sugar bounty and putting a tax of one cent per pound on sugar. This pro posed amendment I for the purpose of revenue only, he say. lleprescnUtive Juhoaon of Ohio will champion absolute fres sugar without bounty or duty. Mr. MclUe of Arkansas, iVmorral, to day cave notice In h hu that he would on Monday offer an aiurndmrnt to lrtk out the auirar bounty, tSVr far Heads, WAiRt.itro, Jsn. n Fcrtry Carllal' mail yesterday brought a Rttnttar of additional offer ti talis I percent bond, to b Utued by ths govtrament February L Tht pvtcv offered wars regarded garlly a good, en It t .!! rhluf t I bat Hefat Ilia fcasattae) Htfe.

Tba Business world Pleased With the Boad Call. Kew York, Jan. 22. R. O. Dun & Ca's Weekly Review of Trade says: The event of the week is the offer of t5O.00O.C00 United States fire per t ent ten-year bonds. The decision of the secretary gives much satisfaction to all who care for a sound currency, be cause the necessities of the treasury were dangerously strengthening those who urged the issue of 850,000,000 more silver certificates and the coinage of silver seigniorage. The gold represented by certificates has fallen below $70,000,tO0. The revenue continues to fall behind that of last year about $5,000,000 per month, and action in congress on various financial measures is liable at any time to ex cite doubts whether gold payments can be maintained; hence replenish ment of the gold reserve was neces sary to a restoration of confidence and a revival of business. The immediate effects were not great, though it is hoped improvement mav be hastened. "While the industrial improvement, continues the gain is slow, and in crease in the purchasing power of the people by enlargement of the force at work is in a measure counterbalanced by the loss in purchasing power of the people through reduction in wages paid. During the past week, dis patches haw told of reductions averag ing 13 per cent in fifteen iron and steel works, and averaging 15J per cent in eleven textile works, five em ployin?thousandsof bands each having reduced wa?es 20 percent Meanwhile twenty-five textile and eleven iron and steel concerns resumed wholly or in part, against seventeen textile and four iron concerns stopping or reducing force. The volume of busi ness done has increased in leading branches, but not largely. Textile works resuming are mostly calico roods concerns, with some worsted works SOVEREIGN'S PROPOSED ACTION. Specific Claims Which Ha Will Make iu Asking: a Restraining- Order. Dks Moinfs, la., Jan. 22. General Master Workman Sovereign was seen last night in regard to the proposed injunction against Secretary Carlisle. "It may be a g jod deal like a mouse tackling a lion," he said, "but wo are going to do it." The following specific claims are made by the persons seeking injunc tion against the bond issue: "There is nothing in the law pro viding for a reserve fund at this time in the United States treasury of $100, 000,000. There is no provision in the law for any special reserve as construed by the present government The fact that th secretary of the treasury is to offer for salo a greater amount of bonds than the so-called legal reserve indicates that he is not offering them for the purpose of redemption, and it further shows that he has not offered them for sale for any of the purposes specified in the law of January 14,1875, the resumption act The secretary of the treasury has no authority to offer bonds for sale for any purpose. There is no deficit in the United States re serve fund, for the silver at present in the treasury is more than double the the so-called deficit in the so-called legal reserve. A MISER MURDERED.
