WASHINGTON , Jan. 0. The power of the
committee on rules was involved today to
break down the obstruction in thu path of
the tariff bill. An ironclad order was
brought In , setting out tlio program of the
tariff debate , and fixing January 25 as the
day for taking Iho Until vote. This resulted
only in sidetracking Mr. Uoutollo and his
Hawaiian resolution , ns when the vote came
to bo taken on the adoption of the order the
democrats lacked nlno votes of n quorum.
At least twenty democrats at the capltol
cither absented themselves from the hall or
refused to answer to their names when
called. For four hours the democratic
leaders tried with roll call after roll call to
bring tholr men into line , but instead of
gaining they lost votes on each successive
roll call. The populists , with Iho cxcopllon
of Mr. Bell of Colorado , also declined to aid
the democrats to pel iho tariff bill before
the house , giving ns the reason for their
action Iho short limit It was proposed to sot
upon thu debate. Their votes would have
made UP a quorum.
Today's proceedings are , therefore , of ad
ditional importr.nco ns marking tiio first
time in the history of either branch of con
gress since the organisation of the third
party that its members hnvo held the
balance of power.
When the Trouble Started.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal the row began. Mr. Boutcllc of
Maine was on his feet clamoring for recogni
tion to call up ills Hawaiian resolution , but
the speaker recognized Mr. Catchings from
the committee on rules to present | he
ipcclal order adopted just before the house
convened.
Mr. Boutcllo loudly Insisted upon knowing
what had become of his privileged resolu
tion , which had been called up yesterday.
Tnc speaker replied rather sharply that
yesterday's proceedings had fallen with the
adjournment , and that iho report called up
from the committee on rules was u matter of
the highest privilege.
Mr. BUITOWL , amid great confusion , re
served nil points of order , nnd when Mr.
Catchings demanded the previous , question
on the report from the rules committee Mr.
Boutcllo raised the question of considera
tion. The speaker decided Mr. Boutcllo was
out of order. Tlio latter appealed from the
decision of the chair , and the speaker , amid
some evidence of satisfaction on the demo
cratic side , promptly refused to entertain
the appeal.
The spoalier was about to state the ques
tion op Mr. Catchings' demand for the pre
vious question when Mr. Burrows made the
point of order that the special.order pre
sented by Mr. Catchings had originated In
tne committee instead of tlio liouso , atid , as
It carried with it n change of existing ru es
( giving leave to print to all members whoso
dcsia'd ) , it should , according to existing
rules , have had its inception in the house in
stead of tlio committee.
After some debate und discussion of prece
dents the speaker overruled iho point of
order.
Lacked n Quorum.
The vote was ihcn taken on the demand
for the previous question on the adoption of
the report of the committee on rules. The
republicans declined- vote and several
democrats who are known to bo opposed to
tlio tariff bill also remained mute. The vote
resulted 1UU to 1 , nlno less than a quorum.
A3 soon as the announcement was made of
no quorum , on motion of Mr. Catchings , a
call of the house was ordered. The call de
veloped the presence otTil members.
The motion then recurred on the dcman d
for the previous question on Iho adoption of
the special order. Tno republicans sat
Rilent in their scats nnd the small coterie of
democrats declined to aid their democratic
brethren in tholr effort to secure a quorum.
The vole resulted : 10U to 0. instead of
gaining , the democrats lost on this toll calL ,
Mr. Outhwaltu moved a call of tlio hpinVo.
Mr , Heed demanded u division and the call'
was ordered , 101 to ! )1. )
The call developed the presence of ! J.)9
members. Further proceedings under the
call wore dispensed with , nnd the vote again
taken on the demand for the previous ques
tion. On tills roll call only HW votes wore
cast , n loss of ono .since the last voto. The
democratic leaders decided to continue , however -
over , if , for no otlior purpose , than to im
press upon absentees iho necessity of attend-
unco as a measure of parly discipline.
Lost on iviiy lliillot TuUrn ,
Accordingly , on motion of Mu , Cntchlngs ,
another call of tlio house was had. It de
veloped Iho presence of71 members and
again the roll was called on the motion to
order the previous question. This vote re
united 1IV5 to 0 n loss of two compared with
the last voto.
It having become manifest n democratic
quorum could not be secured today , General
Cntchlngs moved an adjournment at U : , * > U p. in.

the republican side in the opposition to prog-

"It la the llrst positive stop in opposition

iis the republicans uro concerned , tin tnu
line * of opposition will p.ivo to bo shaped to

failure to vote Is a protest against the unjusl
rule which the majority seeks to pans , bi
which general debate Is limited to live days
beginning today. This day is already con
sumcd nnd Saturday is not llknly to brine
much action , no that the rule , If passed , will
limit thn general debate on this grcnl

WASHINGTON , Jan. C. The democratic cau
cus met In the hall of the liouso at 8 o'clock
tonight consider ihe Wilson tariff bill
Thcro was a good attendance. Judga IIol-
man was chairman and Mr. Aldcrson score-
tnr.vof the caucus. Although the roll call
showed only 1S1 members present , ninnj
came in during the call , and it was said
there were 117 democrats in attendance
when the proceedings began. There nro10
democrats In the bouse , and n caucus quo
rum Is 103. The attendance indicated that
In the neighborhood of forty In the clly re
mained away. Tncro were no conspicuous
absentees among the "kickers. "
As soon as the roll had been called , or
motion , it was decided to limit the speeches
* , o five minutes each. General Wheeler , vvhc
was ono of iho prime movers in the caucus
project , then'look ihu floor nnd made r
vigorous speech against the projiosltlon tc
place coal und iron ere on iho free list.
Speaker Crisp followed. Ho offered n
resolution declaring U iho duty foroveri
democrat lo vote for , the consideration ol
the tariff bill and , also , ii was iho duty
of all democrats to attend iho sessions ol
Iho house and maintain a quorum until
the tariff bill Is disposed of. In a ringing
speech the speaker look occasion to rather
sharply reprimand democrats who had been
responsible for the Inaction of the house
during the p.'ist tlirco days. He said the
proper way to r.ct for these who were ( Its.
sntlsllcd would bo to take the bill up and
have It considered. Thov would then bo
given nn opportunity to offer their amend
ments , nnd thcso amendments , under
the terms of the resolution of the
committee on rules , could bo voted upon.
The majority could decide. No ineinbot
would lose any of his rights nnd it would be
to the honor and credit of the party to gc
forward nnd legislate. The party had been
given n commission from iho people nnd it
was its duty to carry it out. The spectacle
of tno past three days would bo a disgrace
to iho largo democratic majority in the
house and lie hoped it was not to bo re
pealed.
The words of the speaker were loudlj
cheered. y
Denounced MH Undemocratic.
General Sickels of New York. In replying
to the spoalier , declared that it was no part
of the duly of any dcmocral to vote for the
consideration of a revenue bill , some of the
features of which had not yet been reported
by the committee. Hu directed his assault
chiefly against the proposition for an income
tux , which ho declared undemo"ratic , un
popular nnd impolitic.
Mr. Sparry of Connecticut followed on the
same lines , justifying his courss In refusing
to vote on practically the same grounds. He
carefully avoided mention of the tobacco
schedule , winch is understood to bo the
chief ground of his objection to Iho Wilson
bill.
bill.Mr.
Mr. Outhwnito followed in support of the
speaker's resolution , declaring the time al-
lotcd for debate was enough and more than
enough. What the country wanted , ho said ,
was action.
Mr. Slbloy of Pennsylvania , contended
there was not llmo onousrh. Mr. Robertson
of Louisiana , who refrained from voting for
thn last three days except on the last vote
today and who Is opposing free sugar , created
something of a sensation by a riugfng speech
in support of Iho resolution. Ho wanted a
democratic tariff bill passed and he
thought the Wilson bill discriminated
against his stato. Ho had started out to
oppose its consideration , but when ho be
held the.republicans in solid phijlunx chnrg-
inu thu broken lines of Iho , denfoqralic party
his democratic blood rosc'nnd ho. resolved to
support the democratic measure , wlto the
hope that his'liarty would override Ihu com
mittee on the sitL'ar proposition.
Mr. Uowitt Warner of Kentucky also
warmly supported the speaker's Resolution.
After further debate the Crisp resolution
was then adopted without a division. It is
'
'
us follows : ,
UcRolvcd , That It ! the sense of thli caucus
that It Is the duty of every democratic mem
ber of tne honsu lo vote for the pnndliiB reso
lution providing for tlio consideration of the
tariff lilll , In eider that the liousii.may have
an opportunity to reduum thu pledges ot the
purty respecting tariff reform.
Resolved , further , That It Is the duty ot
every democratic member of thn housu to
attend Its dally Mission , and wo hereby ex
press Iho oulnlon that these members who are
absent ewe It to the parly and these who nro
hero to Immediately return In order that
pressing public business may bo attended to.
Another resolution was adopted thai it Is
the sense of the caucus that if any proposi
tion for an income tax was reported for iho
committee that two days addition should bo
given for debate.
After thcso resolutions had been adopted
Mr. Ilnrteiof Ohio and Mr. Kobinsonof
Louisiana , introduced amendments provid
ing for u duty on sugar. butN before a vote
was had on cither of tlio amendments.
Chairman Holinnn recognized Mr. Black of
Georgia , to move to ndjqm'n. It was carried
and al 10 o'clock Iho caucus adjourned.
After the adjournment Chairman Wilson
of the ways nnd means committee said iho
Riuctts was entirely satisfactory to him.
"It has shown that the great , democratic
heart la beating for iho people , " ho said.
"TUc resolutions passed oxprosi the sense of
the party in thu fullest. "

WASHINGTON , Jan. C. Governor McCroary ,
chairman of vlio committee on foreign rela
tions , was vary doubtful when the house
opened today on the prospect of taking up
thu Hawaiian question.
"I have nor been able to secure time from
the ways and means committee , said he , "as
they uro anxious to push the tariff bill to n
vote without any interruption. "
"Docs that mean Hawaii will bo retired
from the liouso at present1 !
"Probably , " said the governor. "I have
dona my best to secure consideration for it ,
anil having done that much I don't know
that 1 nm called upon to push the question. "
From the current sentiment among iho
house leaders it appears as If they would
nol have a hearing in the house for some
days or wccka to come.

WASniNOTO.v , Jan. 5. The Assoclatcil
press cable from Auckland , nnnounclng-thnt
Minister Willis had notllleil the provisional
government to retire , as the queen had
agreed to grant iimncsty , has been an ab
sorbing topic In congressional circles today.
Word came to the foreign affairs committee
from the State department , but as no men
tion was made of the minister's reported
action the information was doubted by
Chairman McCro.iry , Mr. Hayner and others
of the foreign ulTalrs committee. Mr. Me-
Crcary said it would give a most startling
turn to the situation if It proved truo.
Representative Hitt , the republican leader
of the foreign affairs committee , said II
Minister Willis had taken the action re
ported it would precipitate u tempest. The
president had turned the whole subject over
to congress , and bcforo Mr. Willis had
learned of this course ho had executed a
policy already abandoned. Mr. Illtt said
this would bo particularly serious if the
minister's action had led to bloodshed.
There is intense anxiety In congressional
circles for further news on the reported
course of the minister , and It led to the cir
culation of wild and groundless rumors that
rioting had begun in the streets of Hone
lulu.
Jfot Credited nt tlio Slnte Department.
The State department is not Inclined to
credit the statements as to Minister Willis'
action nt Honolulu contained In the cable
dispatch from Auckland received by the As
sociated press yesterday. Such action , It is
said , is totally contrary to the Instructions
sent Mr. Willis by the Corwin and received
by him December 11. That he could have
written to the provisional government , after
he received these instructions , requests that
they surrender ofllco Is denied with strong
emphasis at the State department , and tlio
expressions in the president's message in
this connection are pointed to as refuting
the statement. The selling afloat of such a
report in Honolulu is attributed to u malign
purpose to impugn the good faith of the
president.
The statements contained in the dispatch
seemed to cause no uneasiness or excitement
nt the Hawaiian legation. They are not in
clined to believe at this time that Minister
Willis has takonuny further stops to restore
the queen. Ilnwailans in the city are not
Inclined to think that the ox-queen's agree
ment to grant amnesty to the provisional
government would make any difference in
the status of affairs at Honolulu. Thov have
important information leading to the belief
that Lllluoknlanl would fear to accept a
restoration without a guarantee of protec
tion , and they feel perfectly confident that
such a guarantee is'now impossible ,
Urcslmm'g Instruction * .
In connection with the Hawaiian news
from AucKland the language of Secretary
Gresham's Instructions to Minister Willis by
the Corwiu may bo noted. These wcro
dated Washington , December 8. and con
tained the following :
Your disputed , which was answered by
steamer on the 27th of November , scums to
call for additional Instructions. Should the
queen rofnso to assent to tlio wrltlon condi
tions yon will at once Inform her the presi
dent will conio Interposition In her behalf and
that , whllo hu dooms It his duty to endeavor
to rustoro to the sovereign the constitu
tional government of the Islands , Ills
further efforts In that direction will
depend upon the quoon's tinntmlillod
agreement Unit all obligations crontcd hy the
provisional covorninont. In a proper course of
administration , ahull bo assumed , and upon
such pludsos by hur as will prevent the ndou-
tlon of nnyimuii.snro of prosecution or punish
ment for what has boon done In the past by
th'oso setting up or supporting the provisional
government.
Should thunnccn ask whether. If she accedes
to the conditions , actlvo steps will bo taken
by the United States to effect her restoration
or to maintain hur authority thereafter , you
will say the president cannot nso force with
out tlio authority of congress.
Should the-quuen accupftho conditions nnd
the provisional government 1'ef nso to surren
der , you will bo governed by previous Instruc
tions.
It will bo seen from this that if the provi
sional government has refused to yielu with
out forco.-Willls' latest instructions prevent
his going further. In the event the queen
should accept tho-coudltlons , however , the
minister is to bo governed by previous in
structions.
The previous instructions were to notify
'
the provisional government , which had no't
yet been done , if the queen acceded to con
ditions. So far as the public is informed
there is nothing in tlio instructions to pro-
elude Minister Willis from having proceeded
on these lines towards the provisional gov
ernment.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 5. There was issued
from the government printing oftico the
special message of the president on Hawaii
and the accompanying eorresnonuonco , which
the semite had asked for by resolution. In
the printed copies are some reports of
Minister Willis which have not before boon
published and which are qf esnsclnl interest
at this time.
Under date of November tl from Honolulu
lulu Minister Willis announces to Secretary
Oresham the presentation of his letter
accrediting him ns Mr. mount's successor.
'I ho document then continues :
"On the afternoon of the Oth the British
minister. Major Wodohouso , called my at
tention to the following paragraph in the
Hawaiian Star of the same date : 'It would
servo the ox-queen to pray to her gods
that the restoration will never
coma to her , ' which ho interpreted
to bo a throat of assassination , and
Inquired whether our government was
ready and willing to extend to her its pro
tection. 1 replied , with reference to her
royal claims , that shu stood in such relations
to the United States that she was entitled
to and would receive the amplest protection
ni our hands. AH u matter of fact , I had
already ascertained that at present she did
not dcsiro our protection. After next Mon
day , however , and curlier If necessary , 1
shall Insist on her coming to tlio legation.

ono. who claimed to bo a member Informed
mo , was 000 strong , well armed with W in-
Chester rllles and would never Permit Jho

SAN FIIANCISCO , Jan. 5. The United
States cutter Corwin has been sighted eight
miles out at seal She brings the

arrival > s being anxiously awaited.
Unless there were special efforts
to make a fast run , it Is probable the Corwin
has been nt least twelve .days' on the voyage ,
'
which would malto' thoidate of her d'enar-
turo December 24 , only two days later than
the advices received by the Associated press
trom Auk land last night ,

soon as the cutter was..sighted , made an at
tempt to board her nt jtno entrance to the
harbor. Captain Muu'ger of the Corwiu
shouted to him roughly fromtho bridge , and
not only refused to give him any informa
tion , but also refused to permit his boat to
tie alongside the cutter , ' .leaving the
messenger to return againstv the strong
tide. A few miles furthers up the bav the
Corwin sent an onlcev ashore"in a small boat
and then proceeded town'rd Mare island.

The only thlug in the yrny of news from
Honolulu is a statement said to have been
made by a sailoron the Corwin to a reporter
who tried to board the vessel and was re

that the young fellow had played u sharp

To open the booits lor inspection would

the case of Charles E. Bowman. Bowman
was indicted for manslaughter in having
caused the death of Mrs. Henrietta Bratton
of Dell Uapids September 25 , 1801 , by u crim
inal operation. The dismissal of the case
was upon the application of State's Attorney
D. H. Bailey , who recently received n letter
from ti sister of Mrs. Bratten stating that
she would not testify in the matter.
A decision has Just oeon. made by Judge
Jones , the now Judge of the second Judicial
circuit , which will prove a serious handicap
to the cause of prohibition in this stato.
The decision was In the case 'Of M. E. Col
lins , a druggist of Dell Uapids , who has been
selling intoxicating liquors without a
liconso. His place was closed about two
weeks ago on an injunction issued by the re
tiring Judge , F. It. Aikons. A motion was
made to have the injunction vacated under
the proviso of section 18 , which provides
that iho owner can scc.uro the vacation of

the nuisance will bo abated for ono j car.
Judge Jones signed an order in accordance
with the motion. Under this ruling the
