The house today determined the abolition of the duty upon refined sugar , which was passed upon just before the house adjourned last night as an amendment to an amendment of Air. Robert son of Louisiana. A way out of the confusion which existed upon the effect of the amend ment adopted lust night was found after a two hours' discussion of the parliamentary situation , by submitting the question to the house , as to whether the Warner amend ment placing rellncd sugar on the free list , should be considered as a substitute for the Robertson amendment. This was decided nfllrmatlvely , and then , by an overwhelming vote , In which the republicans joined with the radical democrats against the sugar men nnd several memoers ot the ways and moans committee , the substitute was adopted. \Vlth regard to the sugar schedule , there fore , the committee of the whole has abolished the bounty and placed all sugar , both refined and raw , upon the frco list. Vigorous l'rotc t from Southcrneri * . When It came to consider the coal schedule toJny , however , the committee fared much batter , and all four of the amendments , de signed to place a duty of from -10 to 70 cents per ton upon coal , were beaten. The debate on the ctfal schedule developed a great deal of fcclinc among the southern members , es pecially thosn from Virginia , West Virginia , Tennessee and Alabama , whoso states are in terested either In coal or iron ore. The general oral impression is that the defeat of the sugar men and of those who are interested in retaining a duty upon coal will result in strengthening the movement developed on the democratic sldo to recommit the bill. If the iron men are defeated tomorrow , and especially if the ir.como tax should bo placed upon tlio bill as a rider later In the week , another stronc faction on the democratic side will ba added to this movement. The republicans will also vote for the motion to recommit , and the republicans who dare not -voto on the . bill outright.bjtwbonra not satisfied .with it in 'its' in-osaut form may end It back to the committee. This is now admitted to bo the chief danger. If the bill could be brought to a direct vote thcro is no question about its passage. * JtofrrrtMt to n Committee. At the opening of the house this morning , on motion of Air. "Wise , the president's veto of the New York and Now.Jcrsoy bridge bill was referred to ho committee on interstate and foreign commerce. A few minutes later , when the house went Into committee of the whole to resume the consideration of the tariff bill , Air. Oates of Alabama called attention to tne peculiar complication that had arisen owing to the failure of the committee to complete the consideration of the sugar schedule. It came over as unfinished busi- r.css , while by the special arrangement last Saturday today was sot aside for the coal aud iron Ecnodulcs. Some discussion followed us to the parliamentary status , and It was llnally decided by unanimous consent to go ahead with the vote on the sugar schedule , nnd after that was disposed of to take up coafand iron. The pond in ; ; question was the Robertson amendment Imposing a duty on raw sugar nnd Increasing tlm duty on rellned sugar as amended by Air.Vurncr , placing both raw and refined stigur on thofrcojist. The conf tinlcii entailed by thcso two Incon gruous amendments had lirst to bo straight ened out. Air. Dlugley claimed that the Warner amendment was utterly inconsistent with the Robertson amendment and should bo considered as a substitute , Air. Robertson took issuu with him , main taining that the effect of Air. Warner's amendment simply was to place refined ugar on the free list , leaving so much of his amendment as imposed a duty upon sugar below 10 Dutch standard unaffected. Finally the Warner amendment , as a substitute ] to place all raw sugar and re- llncd sugar on the frco list , was carried 101 to'US. Tallied for un Hour nnd n Half. The debate on the point of order consumed over an hour and a half. . The chairman llnally stated that the Warner amendment was voted upon as an amendment to thu Rob ertson amendment. Ho was now nskcd , ho aid , to decide that it should have been . voted upon as a substitute. Ho declined to rule and submitted the question to the house to determine whether it should bo considered n substitute or nmcndmcnt. Without divi sion it was decided to treat the Warner amendment us a substitute , The committee ' was then called upon to vote upon it as n substitute , its effect if adopted being to place all sugars , raw anil refined , on thu frco list. The great mass of democrats nnd practically all the republicans voted for the proposition , only n handful of democrats , in cluding Mr. Wilson and several others of the ways and means committee , Mr. ISvcrotts , Combs and the members of the Louisiana delegation voting uculnst It. It was carried by \otoof 101 loW. The coal schedule was then taken up. The first amendment was made by Air. Oates of Aiabanm , as follows : "Stviko out of the free list frco coal , etc. , and Insert coal , bitum inous and shnlo , 40 cents per ton of twenty- night bushels , eighty pounds to the bushel ; coal , slack or culls , such ns will pass through a half Inch screen , 20 cents per ton of twenty-eight bushels , eighty pounds , to the bushel. " Air , Wise of Virginia followed with nn nimmdmont to the amendment , striking nut 40 cents and Inserting CO cents. Air , AlcKulg of Aluryland then offered a substitute pro viding for a duty of 75 cents per ton on bituminous coal , 30 cents on coal , slack or culls , nnd striking bituminous co/il from the free list , llltt'a .YmctiilmaiU. Mr. Hilt of Illinois offered an amend ment to the substitute as follows : "Insert ut the end of coal paragraph , provided that If any article ou the frco list in imported , the product of any country \\hlch imposes a duty on said article exported from the t'nltcd States , then there shall bo levied , collected nnd paid upon said Imported arti de the rale of duty existing prior to the pas sage of this act.1' Mr , WiUon made thu point ot order that Mr , Hilt's reciprocity nniendmcut was not &t Rcrmnno nnd , therefore , not In order , It CA. was n proposition for general reciprocity ou * the whole turlfT bill , or rather rcttaltallon upon ourselves for the follies of other piople. The chair sustained iho point of order and Air. Hill modified the amendment so m to restrict it to articles on the frco list. Mr lurro\T& , republican , of Michigan made the point that , as modified , the amend. meat was not germane , and the chair also sustained the point of order. Opposed Free < 'iml. Air. AtcKnlg , democrat , of Maryland was first recognized In support of his substitute. ills constituents , ho snld , were vitally Inter ested In preserving the duty on coaL Ho Insisted that the miner was entitled to a continuation of this protection. Mr. Urossius opposed free coal. Ills state produced 1)0,000,000 ) tons a year. Free coal would luavo his constituents naked anil de fenseless , Mr.VIso supported the proposition to place a duty on coal. Mr. Tucker , democrat , of Virginia advo cated nit amendment to plnco a duty of 40 cents on coal , . Mr. Allcrcon , democrat , of West Virginia nalil the democrats xvcro elected to reform the tariff and this they would do. This was the tlmu to measure democracy , and no tlmo to bicker. Mr. Inccy , republican , of Iowa said ho had supposed the lust of the Randall demo crats bad ROIIO , bu : hu was glad to sco so many democrats on the other side appealing for protection to their Interests. Mr. CSrosvcnor , republican , of Ohio said his stuto was third in the production of coal , and that his district produced three-eighths of ihe production of slate. I'Yco ' coal meant thn destruction of the coal Industry of Ohio. Mr. Wheeler , democrat , of Alabama orlti- clseu the frees trado.cbaracter . ofjthc bill , and said It put the burdens on the south , and Now Kncland IB to enjoy Its benefits. Mr. I'erklus , republican , of Iowa I Judge that the gentleman will vote against such a ' nefarious' measure ! Mr. Wheeler No. I will vote for it. [ I/uightcr. | Mr. Hicks , republican , of Pennsylvania said his state stood at the bead of the coal producing states. It produced last year over 100,000,000 tons. Many people were dependent unon it for support , numbering at least JtOO.OOO. while another t , 000,000 were inulrocai.v affected. Fifty per ccntoftlio freight of the state was coal transpot tatlon. Mr. Walker , republican , of Massachusetts declared that Massachusetts would vote for a duty of 75 cents on coal , nothing less , nothing more. tiocl : the Debate. Mr. Wilson , democrat , of West Virginia closed the debate in support of the frco coal proposition in the pending bill. The voting then began upon the pending amendments. The first vote was on an amendment of Air. Wise to the amendment of Air. Dates , to make the duty on coal 50 cents instead of 40. It was lost without a division. The next vote was upon an amendment to Air. AIcKaig's substitute , reducing the duty , by a sliding scale , ISJrf cents each year for six .years , tne duty to cease entirely at the end of that time. Upon this proposition the re publicans refused to vote. Lost by a vote of 2 to 171) ) . Tins vote then recurred upon the AIcKnifi substitute , practically to restore the present law , imposing " > cents per ton. Upon this proposition the republicans voted almost solidly with several democrats in favor of it , while the rest of > the democrats voted against it. It was lost. The Html vote was then taken upon Air. Dates' amendment , placing the duty at 40 cents. The republicans divided oa this. Alessro. Gates , Outhwuitc , Tuclcer , Coffccn , Ulanchard , Pendlcton , Wise , Brickncr , Alycr , Weadock and the Pennsylvania demo crats and others voting in favor of it , while the vast majority of the democrats supported t'no position taken by the committee and voted against it.

HAWAII AGAIN IN THE SENATE Bittsr Words of Criticism Directed Toward the Administration. CLEVELAND ARRAIGNED BY MR. CULLOM Ho Clmritctcrlzei tlm Course of the Government Toward the ImnniU an blminofnl tin Well as Oltenslvo to u Friendly 1'ower. WASHINGTON , Jan. 23. In the senate today Mr. Turplo , democrat , of Indiana , from the foreign relations committee , reported favor ably the following : ItPMilvcd , Tliat from some of the facts and papers laid before the sotmto It Is unwise and Inexpedient to consider at tills tlmo any pro ject of anni'xatlon of Ilio Hawaiian Islands to the I'liltod States ; that the provisional gov ernment there , having boon duty rccoRiil/od , the blithest International Interest requires It shall imr.suu Its own line of policy , and foreign Intervention In thoipolltical affairs of thuso Islands would bo regarded as an act unfriendly to thu government of thu United States. Senator Turplo asked Immediate consider ation of the resolution. Sonntor Teller Objected. Senator Teller objected vigorously and the resolution wont over under the rules. A bill for an American commission at the Antwerp , Belgium , international exposition was presented by Senator Alandcrson , repub lican , of Nebraska. Senator Pcffer's resolution , denying the authority of the secretary of the treasury to Issue the bonds now.contcmplated vas taken up and Senator Stewart took the lloor favoring the resolution. When Senator Stewart concluded the bill repealing the federal elections law was taken up. Senator Wilson , republican , of Iowa ad dressed the senate in opposition to the bill. At the end of Mr. Wilson's remarks , Sena tor Culloin asked consent to take up the reso lution of Senator Fryc declaring against in terference In Hawaiian affairs. Senator Chandler of the republican side was quito willing to extend the tlmo to Senator Cullom for that purpose and allow the elections bill to BO over. "In fact , " said he , " 1 will make even a broader proposition. I will suggest the bill repealing the elections law bo allowed to go over until the 1st of December next , in the absence of any recommendation by the president of the United States that this bill should pass. I infer the president of the United States would bo very willing to let thcso laws remain on the statute books and bo tested at another election. Therefore , I suggest to tbo senate that the bill bo al lowed to go over until the first Alonday of December. " Senator Gray , however , objected , and Sen ator Chandler then yielded to Senator Cul lom. The elections bill being temporarily laid aside , the Illinois senator spoke on Air. Frye's Hawaiian resolution of noninterfer ence. Cllllom's Severn Criticism. In his opening remarks Senator Cullom reviewed briefly the history of Hawaii and the incidents which led to the revolution of last year , occasioned , ho asserted , by the queen when she attempted , to revoke the constitution of 18S7. He spoke In sharp terms of this action and then directly at tacked , the policy , of the. administration. Abundant testimony , he said , had been fur nished upon every hand in controvcrsion of the assumed theory of the president and the secretary of state and the reported declara tion of Minister Willis that the revolution was primarily incited and fostered by United States Alinister Stevens and by Captain Wlltze , who was in command of the Boston. That theory had been completely disprovbn , not only by the combination of circumstan tial and corroborative evidence , but by di rect and conclusive testimony. This testi mony bad boon accepted by the mass of the American people as ample and sufficient , and it would'oe an imposition upon the pa tience of the scnat'n as well as upon the pub lic to present , it again on this occasion. "But suppose the Americans had ( which I deny ) committed the acts alleged , what difference would that make us regards Air. Cleveland's act in attempting to rccrovvn Airs. Donilnis ? Air. Cleveland found there an established covornmont you may call it what you will , but it still is a government in possession and in operation. Where did the president of the United States find precedent or authority for the most singular action which we have scon. ltliindur.4 of F.ilHinlll.-ui Diplomacy. "Passing by some of the intermediate steps taken by the United States govern ment , such as the withdrawal of the pending ing treaty from the senate , the sending of a special commissioner us a dotcctivo to act us a spy upon a foreign government without the advice and consent of the senate then in session , and other equally ridiculous blun ders of Falstaftlan diplomacy , wo have found a trovornment In Hawaii recognized by the world in full control of affairs. Acting um or instructions this American spy per formed his duty by frequent secret reports to the secretary of the state as to what he found and what ho did. which included the singular Incident of pulling down the Ameri can flag. "A distinguished American issued the order - dor : 'If any man pull down the American flag shoot him on the spot.1 At a later Oay , by the order if I mistake" not of Gen eral Butler at Now Orleans , ono man wis shot for the same act for which another now receives the thanks of the executive of the United States. ' Another event in revolutionary history has a certain parallel to the story of the president's detective in Hawaii. Some thing over 100 years ago a British ofllccr of undoubted character and reputation uns selected as the special commissioner of hh government to act the part of what would complete the betrayal of West Point and other American forts Into the hands of the British. Major Andre , the distinguished spy , was apprehended , and paid the penalty with his life. ' 'Whatever may bo said of deserting our flag In Honolulu that was only humiliating to Americans and a self-Indicting disgrace to this administration. But the sending of an American spy into Hawaii with creden tials to thu head of the recognized govern ment addressed : "Aly great and good friend , " for the simple purpose of plotting and ncgotlalliiK with Mrs. Dominls , then an enemy of tlio government , and secretly and stealthily endeavoring to arrange for her re- enthronement upon the ruins of the temporary ary or provisional government , wns such an offensive net that the pro visional govern ment would have been fully Justified , under the rules of war In declaring him a public enemy and treat ing him accordingly.

But thcso reports were denied. It is understood that feelers have been sent out by the government of President Polxoto and that the reply to these feelers was that the United States officers were not in a position to arbitrate any dispute so long as only one of the parties directly inter ested Intimated that It was oivctrto concilia tion under the advice of a third party. Today , however , the Associated Press cor respondent lu Hio was Informed upon good authority that Admiral do Oaina , the rebel admiral in command of the insurgent licet , has made a rcuucst to Admiral Bcnrmm , the American admiral , asking that the latter would bo kina enough to act as mediator between the Insurgents and the government of Peixoto with the view of bringing about sc mo understanding. The Associated pi-ess correspondent has been unaUlu to sco Admiral licnham and ob tain a continuation or denial of this report , but It may bo safely bald that thcro is little or no doubt of its truth. When the news that Admiral do Gama was communicating with Admiral Benhain reached this shore the greatest satisfaction was expressed by everybody at the prospect of an ending to the wearisome civil war which has been clogging the wheels of busi ness for months past. Nobody seems to doubt that the admiral will soon be able to patch up a peace , but both sides , all admit , are heartily tired of the distressing bombardment and attacks and counter attacits which have been going on for so long with little or no advantage to either side.

The Times tomorrow will publish the following cable dispatch , dated Hio do Janeiro , January 20 , via Alontc- vi'.lco : Since the arrival of the Aquldaban , the in surgents have been gaining ground steadily. They appear to bo more confident and public opinion asliore is becoming more favorable to the revolution. The people condemn se verely the action of the government in not adopting decisive measures. On the morning of the 10th the rebels at tacked Alccungua islands. While the Aquldaban inado preparations to advance , she kept up a heavy lire % vith the niuehilic and.onick.Hriag uns. until half pastBolclock. Then at 4 o'clock tho-irisurgou't launches" advanced , covering the landing of three parties of twenty-seven men , each with n reserve of tnirty-elght men , who were placed on Mocangua islands. J'he insurgents landed just at daybreak ; and1at once charged the government bat tery , capturing its Krifpp field pieces , one heavy Whltworth and a large supply of ammunition. The insur gents then turned the battery against the government troops stationed at Alorro d' ' Armacao and Punta Arcia. A sharp hand-to-hand light took place on the island and was maintained for half an hour. At the expiration of this time the govern ment troops sin-rendered. The total loss to the government on Mocangua islands was as follows : The commanding officer and ten men killed , fifteen men wounded and three ofllccrs and 100 men taken prisoners. The government loss on tlio mainland is un known. The rebels lost five men. iloth sides showed pluck , but the determined rush of the sailors overcame all resistance. Advices from Desterro say the insurgent : * have occupied the town of Paranagua. After two hours sharp lighting the garrison sur rendered , the creator part agreeing to join the revolution. The insurgent ! ! captured a largo supply of rifles and ammunition , six Krupp Held pieces and 20,000 rounds of am munition. General Lima , commanding troops nt Paranagua , together with the governor of that state , fled to Sao Paulo. The government's now warships are still at Poruambuco. The man-of-war Tlradentcs and the Bahla remain at Montevideo. The government continues to arrest many persons on suspicion of their sympathy with the revolution. It also keo-.s ; on sending strong reinforcements to Mutheroy , where the garrison now amounts to about 1,500 men. The insurgents report they have received notice of the consignment of 5,000 rifles , 2,000,000 cartridges , forty-eight Krupp guns and a large supply of ammunition for their use. There is no confirmation of the report that tlio presence of live warships in this harbor is duo to tlio proposal by the United States to Interfere in the present quarrel. No such proposal has as yet been made cither to the government or Insurgents. The epidemic of yellow fever hero is increasing - creasing in virulence. s\ii.ii : ) rcm TIM ; soum.

Kmporor William lias apparently become reconciled to Prltu-o Bismarck and the latter will In all proba bility visit the emperor In Berlin shortly after the lattcr's birthday celebration of Sunday next. The greatest Importance is attached in tills city and throughout Germany to the reconciliation between Prince Bismarck and Kmpcror William. Special attention is paid to the effect which it will hr.ve upon the Internal polby of the empire , much comment being made upon thu announce ment that Blsm.irck , in addition to being reconciled to the emperor , la ajso In full ac cord with Chancellor von Caprlvl and the imperial secretary of state for foreisn af fairs , Huron Alariclnll von Biobcrstoiu. 1 Heroines \Vllllim'n : Poimlurltv. It has also Increased the emperor's popu larity and strengthened tlio government. There is no doubt a very great number of people ple in tiermany objected to the practical exil ing from Berlin and from the participating in the affairs of the empire , of the great Ger man statesman who laid the foundation of German unity and who built up on them the umpire of Germany. On the other hand , the Agrarians , who re lied upon Prince Bismarck's support against the Russo-German treaty , are downcast and apparently convinced that tboro is no longer much strength in their opposition to this measure. The effect of the news of the rcconcilla- - tion between the emperor nnd the ox-chan cellor was most marked. There was a gen eral rise in stocks and bonds on tbo bourse and a much stronger and moro.hculthy feel ing ou all sides. Uoll IUs in Surprises. Emperor William delights In surprises and thus it was , according to the story , that lit * allowed no Intimation of his Intention to seek n reconciliation wltlV/Pi'lhco Bts"murclc to leak out until after'tho.recQneilintlon > yas an fait accompli. Ijlttlo by little iho facts in the case are gaining publicity , and it would seem the reconciliation was brought about entirely by the cmpcrur himself and that ho accomplished it in a most graceful manner. The nid-dc-camp of Emperor William , Colonel Count von Aloltkc , arrived at Fried- nchsruho yesterday and sought an inter view. with Prince Bismarck , which was readily granted. Colonel von AIoltKo , it ap pears , was the bearer of an autograph letter from Kmpcror William to the ex-chancellor , containing congratulations on the recovery from his recent attack of influenza , and beg ging him to accept ti bottle of old and very valuable wino from the imperial cellars , which Colonel von Aloltko was also charged to convoy" to the distinguished German statesman. Prince Bismarck Is said to have been much affected by the kind messages con voyed to him by the emperor's aid-do-camp and the best of feeling is reported to havu been displayed on both sides. I'leaaeil the Kx-L'huticullor. Colonel von Aloltko was so successful In pleasing Prince Bismarck that the lai tor not only Invited him to take a drive about the neighborhood ot Friedrlchsruhe , but also Invited him to dine at the castle. The emperor's aid-do-camp accepted both these Invitations and returned to Berlin bearing , it is said , an autograph letter from Prince Bismarck to the emperor , in which the .iron chancellor thanked his imperial majesty for his extreme kindness and thouchtfnlnrss and assured the emperor that ho , Prince lilsmarck , would bo most pleased to wait upon his majesty after the lattcr's ' birthday celebration. Newspapers hail the reconciliation as the happiest event In Germany for a long while , aiid the people everywhere give ovldenco of joyful excitement and thanksgiving , Thu seml-olllcial North German Gazette says Colonel Von Aloltko's. . visit to i'rinco Bis marck was duo to the emperor's own Initia tive , and the same paper quotes Prince Bis marck as snylng ho would pay his respect to the emperor at Berlin immediately after Emperor William's ' birthday. The Colopnu Gazette , referring to the prosnnt of the wine , says Prince Bismarck , replying to Colonel Von Aloltkc , said ho would -wait upon the emperor at Berlin at the beginning of next week , In tie ! Itel In the Reichstag the statement of Hcrr KardorlT , imperialist , who said the existing distress could only be relieved by thq pro tection of national labor , which , nu added. Prince Bismarck initiated , was greeted with loud cheers , and prolonged appluusa was oc casioned by Herr Kardorff's announcement that ho felt the greatest satisfaction ut Prince Bismarck's impending journey to Berlin , Ono of the results of the reconciliation ho- twceii the emperor nnd Prince lllsmarck Is that preparations to celebrate the ompuror's brthday [ on Saturday next have been multi plied , and that this event will now probably bo made the blgnal fur a general outburst of patriotic enthusiasm throughout Germany. The excitement and r.atlsf.ictlon is not confined to political circles , In the army , among the hourgcolso , among the clergy , among the aristocracy and among the peas ants , bore and thcro and everywhere , all ranks and all ages , as well as all runditfons of people rojolco to hoar that there Is no longer that angry feeling between the rulur of the Gorman empire and the renowned servant of the country. Thus it in , thu approaching preaching meeting botyyceu Kmpnror Wil liam and Prince BtsrnarcK will bo a memor able ono In the history of Germany , and ono which will lln 1 an echo of sympathy In every patriotic German heart , not only throughout thu German umpire , hut wher ever the German language Is spoken , The Dlmnurck incident was the principal topic of conversation In the lobbies of thii Reichstag today.
