In the senate storday Senator Dolph addressed that ,ily on that part of the president's essago relating to Hawaii. He iH-'gan v expressing his surprise at the utter re of the president in his message, ilph suid lie could not conceive it pos e the administration had determined urn the forcible overthrow of the exist- Jif government and the restoration of a orr ii pt and licentious iieen. If such .id ln'cn the intention of the adminis- ration, tlie expression by the press of iie country of almost unanimous public pinion against such a course, be be- i'Ved, would have chunged the purpose the administration and have caused ie president to modify his instructions the American minister to Hawaii, ilph read a part of the reference of the esident in his message to Hawaii and i-ked whether the report of tlie personal liresentntive of the president acting inler secret instructions and conducting ex parte examination was entitled to lure credence than the official report of f former American minister to Haw ail, il of American naval officers and rep- entatives of the Hawaiian govern- tit to this : country ,tand ;of informa .1 received from the Christian and in ligent persons of Hawaii since the volution. Truitpa on the Italian Frontier. Homk, Dec. 0. Kifornia publishes a Vir which Affirms that there are 40,000 l""ch troops echeloned between Nice Weelonnette, with large advance within a few yards of the Italian '""tier. Along the same line the ranch forces are being: gradually ad duced toward the frontier. There are "iens quantities of war material nt "'ir disposal, and they appear to be ''pared for a sudden uttack. The r'ter calls the attention of the Italian eminent ,to the seriousness of this mtion. WASHINGTON LETTER. " UUaster that Would Kesnlt from the Tarlfl lull. "i inir Regular (.'nrrcsHiiulcut. Wahiunuton, Doc. 1, 18!'.'!. I'lio Cleveland turifl bill has been be- ii the public four days and the most 'fill study fails to find one single ro- 'iiiiug feature therein. It would, if ictec! a law, turn over the cream of American market, the finest in the rld, to Americans in exchange there- are glittering promises of an increase the foreign trade of the United States, uses which are not believed in even tlioso who have mado them. It is 'litted that free wool would nut an ' to the production of wool in this "try and that free iron ore and coal I cause forelirn coal and iron ore to lie H exclusively in the neighliorhood of fry Atlantic seaport and that Ameri- ron ore and coal will be used no- "r except at places so far in the I n terior that the freight rates will allow them to compete with foreign products. These are only specimens of the man ner in which American industries have been treated by this bill. Tlie same holds good throughout tho bill. There is hardly a single industry of any con sequence in the I'nited States that is not (struck at in some way. And as if that were not evil enough to be con tained in a single bill, this one changes the method of imposing the duty upon many of the articles which it leaves upon the dutiable list from specific to ad valorem, a system which has been con demned by nearly every secretary of the treasury tlie country bus had as one that encourages fraud and puts a pre mium upon deception. The bill is dis honest in every way. While purporting to le a turiir for revenue its makers es timute that it would produce 150,000,000 a year less than the McKinley law. It leaves the sugar bounty, which the dem ocrats claimed to oppose on constitu tional grounds and provides for its con tinuance eight yeurs, dropping a quarter of a cent euch year. The question natu rally arises, how can a bounty of 134 cents lie constitutional if a bounty of 2 cents was unconstitutional? There is, however, one consoling thing about this bill. It is so utterly bad and vicious that it cannot possibly become a law in its present shape, although Mr. Cleveland's power may be sufficiently strong to force it through the house without 'amendment, but of that there are doubts. The constituents of demo cratic members who will feel the reduc tions in watres and loss of employment will make themselves heard and felt as soon as they are brought to a realizing sense of the injury to themselves that is contained in the bill. Many believe thnt the bill bus been made public in its present shape shne to feel the pub lic pulse and that the feature which prove most obnoxious will later on be eliminated or modified by a democratic caucus. The report of the republican minority of the house ways and means committee, upon which work is now being pushed, promises to be a docu ment that will make republican con verts by the thousand. It will proba bly be ready by the last of next or the first of the week after. The democrats of the ways and means committee are still undecided about a sinirle feature of the internal revenue bill, which they will have to prepare to meet the big deficiency created by their turifl' bill. They wish to include the income tax, but so many vigorous pro tests have lieen filed against it by lead ing democrats that it is not certain they will. Secretary Herlmrt, not huving a son to take care of, has introduced a new variety of nepotism by appointing his son-in-law chief clerk of the navy de partment. ' It is certain that Mr. G. D. Johnson, of Louisiana, who was the only demo cratic member of the civil service com mission, did not enjoy his Thanksgiving dinner. Cause why? He was pre emptorily removed from office by Mr. Cleveland this week. Mr. Johnson has ever since the democratic administration came into office acted as though he thought it was his duty to stand by the most outrageous violations of the civil service law, in favor of democrats, rather than to enforce that law. He has been going from bad to worse in that direc tion, and when the time came to prepare tlie annual report of the commission, which is now in the hands of Mr. Cleve land, there was an open rupture between him and his republican colleagues, and he refused to sign their report and wrote one of his own. That brought matters to a crisis and Commissioner Rosevelt told Mr. Cleveland that he would not re main on the commission if Johnson did. And Johnson didn't. Prof. Proctor, of Kentucky, has been appointed to the vacancy. Cas, Admiral Mellu Heard From. Washington, Dec. 6. A dispatch from Ministar Thurston says Admiral Mello arrived at the Isla Grande, on the south coast of Kio Janeiro. Thedisputch lurther says Mello pil laged the town of llila Grande and then sailed away toward the south. A Word to Ladles.

NEW INSTRUCTION SEXT WILLIS President Will Lay the Entire Mat ter Before Congress with Full Information. San Fhancisco, Dec. 6. The Exam iner's Washington correspondent tele graphs that he has succeeded in secur ing some Inside information in reference to the administration's plans in dealing with the Hawaiian question. The pur pose of President Cleveland and Secre tary (iresham now is not to attempt to restore Queen Liliuokalani by force, but to lay the entire question before con gress and secure the sanction of the leg islative branch to any new move on the islands. Definite instructions have been sent to Minister Willis not to tuke any decided action until further instructions are sent him. It seems certain that new instructions have been sent him to this effect by the Corwiu. It is be lieved now that the president and sec retary of state, from information re ceived from Willis, have decided that the queon cannot be restored without force and that this course cannot be followed without the sanction of con gress. ' Groper and Hl Instruction. San Fkancisco, Dec. C. In its e.Ii toriul comment on the Hawaiian situa tion this morning, the Chronicle says: "All that we can see and judge is that Mr. Willis has found that he cannot carry out his orders, and that he is awaiting further instructions. But it waB Mr. Cleveland's duty to have told congress as much ; to have communicated the nature if not the text of his instruc tions, and for his neglect in this regard he should be called to account." Tlie Call has this to eay : "Sugges tion was made some days ago that Min ister Willis needs reefing. He spreads over too much space. When be assumes that G rover Cleveland holds the fate of the islands in his hands, he forgets that G rover Cleveland voluntarily relin quished the right of control over the islands which was offered the govern ment of the Vnited States. Undoubt edly the minister may order the marines to be landed to protect the lives and property of American residents, but if this force is so directed as to pull down one government and set up another, somebody will have to answer." llltt'a Hawaiian Resolution. Washington, Dec. C. Hitt, ex-chairman of the house committee on foreign affairs, today introduced two resolutions bearing on the Hawaiian policy of the government, the first calling for the papers in the case and the second as follows : "It is the sense of the house that in tervention by the government of the United States, its representatives or armed forces in the affairs of a friendly and recognized government, to disturb or overthrow it and to substitute a mon archy therefor, is contrary to the policy and traditions of the republic and the spirit of the constitution." Hot In Fern. New Vokk, Dei:. 6. A cable from Lima says: "The legation of Ecuador, as w ell as the consulates of that repub lic here and at Callao, have been closed, and the minister of Fcuador and the consul at Lima have taken refuge on board the British ship Hyacinth. Citi zens of Ecuador now in Peru have been placed under German protection. The delimitation of the frontier of Ecuador and Peru will be submitted to arbitra tion." He Maw the Hea Serpent.

Judgo Bellinger has thrown a cannon ball into the smugglers' camp by an nouncing in open court that he is con vinced he erred in the ruling niaae in tlie PunU.7 trial that conviction could not be had on the evidence of accom plices without corroborative testimony. The court smd : "In that case I ruled that there would be no conviction without the testimony of other than accomplices. I did this without investigation. I have since in vestigated it, and I find the testimony of an accomplice is sufficient evidence for the jury to convict if they believe the testimony is true. I make this state ment now so that counsel will not be taken by surprise. I am satisfied I made a mistake in that ruling, and I hasten to correct it at the earliest possi ble moment." The ruling, which Judgo Bellinger stated was made in error, was that on which he based the instructions in his charge to the jury that conviction could not be had on eight of the fourteen counts in the indictments against Dun bar, because there was no testimony corroborating that of Blum, Gartbome, Jackling and Berg, who were accom plices, and ; it was on the remaining six counts in the two Indictments that the jury returned the verdict of guilty against Dunbar. NEWS NOTES. The president has nominated J. B. Doe of Wisconsin to be assistant secre tary of war. The Brazilian cruiBer America, bound for Rio from New York, was disabled by some unknown member of its crew and will be delayed several weeks. A heroic statue of Gen. James Shields was unveiled in Statuary hall in the na tional capital yesterday. General Shields was a hero in the Mexican war, and also in the rebellion. When Ore gon was s territory in the early 50s he was apuointed governor of the territory by Franklin Pierce. The annual report of Attorney-Gen. Olney was admitted to congress yester day. It calls attention to the rapidly increasing business of the federal courts, and says the two most important decis ions of the supreme court during the year were those on the Chinese exclu sion act and hat trimming cases, the former as establishing a principle, the latter on account of the claims which may arise under it against the govern ment, estimated at from $10,000,000 to $80,000,000. The UniteU States grand jury in Port land have made a report to the court, that they have found nineteen indict ments in addition to those reported, against opium smugglers. Among them are Attorney Glum, O. Holman, Major John Wilson, who is now in British Columbia, Captain John Ross, of the steamer Wilmington and lately of the steamer Haytian Republic, Attorney P. J. Bannon, J. K. Marks, l;iw student in Holman's office, C. J. Mulkey, ex-special agent of the U. S. treasury department. After 10 days' confinement in the county jail, O. P. Mason and Ben P. Watson were released yesterday on $7000 boiids furnished by Mary Mason and George Ham. The imprisoned publishers of the Mercury did not look any the worse for their confinement. The bonds on appeal to the supreme court for a new trial weie in each case $1000, and $1000 each on the last indict ment returned against them, wherein they were charged with publishing a malciious article upon C. .. S. Wood. The total amount of bonds furnished there was $4000, Too Much Salary. Omaha, Neb., Dec. 6.

ALL C0RRESP0XDEXCE TO BE GIYEX Theories Advanced That the President Will Recommend Forcible Restoration. Washington-, Dec. 7. It is not certain yet what course the executive will take in response to the resolution of the sen ate calling for information on the Hawaiian episode. The information will be given, but whether as a formal response to the senate resolution or in a special message from the president, which takes no note of the resolution has not yet been determined. The in formation is prepared and can be sent in at any time. It was apparently put in shape to accompany the president's forthcoming special message before the resolution passed the senate yesterday. There is excellent authority for saying that Minister Willis' present orders are to employ no force of arms. It is prob able the instructions by the Corwin are for him to proceed in his effort to per suade the provisional government to allow Liliuokalani to be restored. It is intimated from a responsible source that the ex-queen declines to go back on the throne unless by consent of the pro visional government leaders, or a guar antee of protection by the United States. There had been theories advanced that after hearing again from Minister Willis, and learning positively that the queen cannot be restored, except by the use of the United States troops, the president will present to congress the case of the queen as a wronged monarch, whose government was overthrown by this government, and assert that it is now the duty of the United States to re store the former condition even by using force. This is the idea advanced by the friends of the administration. A TRAGEDY ON SHIPBOARD. An Obnoxious Holly Killed by I'tah Stockman San Francisco, Dec. 7. Advice9 have just been received by mail from San Bias, Mexico, to the effect that on the afternoon of the 18th of last November, James F. Culty, a steerage passenger on board the steamer City of Sydney, from San Francisco for Panama, was shot through the brain with a revolver by Albert Spincb, a stockman of Utah, who was also a steerage passenger. It ap pears that Culty was of a very obnox ious, bullying disposition, and took of fense because Spinch wore spectacles. After abusing Spinch he started up from the supper table saying, "And you with the glasses I'll fix ;" advancing at tlie same time in a threatening manner. Spinch immediately backed away, draw ing his revolver as be did so, and when Culty was within striking distance he fired. The captain of the vessel exon erated Spinch from all blame, and Culty's remains were buried at sea the following morning. On the day after the burial Jose Jacintho de Brun Costa, an elderly passenger, became a raving maniac in consequence of having wit nessed the tragedy, and when the steamer reached Mazatlan he sprang overboard and tried to swim ashore. He was with difficulty rescued and taken back to the vessel. Thousand of People In Chicago With out Food or Shelter. CmcAtio, Dec. 7. The distress among the unemployed Is so great that every night 600 find lodgings on the cold floors in the corridor of the city hall. These are only a few of the great number who i have no place to sleep. Five hundred sleep in the chairs in the Pacific Garden mission. From 1,400 to 1,500 find lodg ing on the stone floors in the cells In the police stations. Last night it was an nounced that eight churches will be thrown open to furnish lodgings for those who have no other. The men will be given a cup of coffee and rolls in the morning. This action was forced upon Christian people by the fact that for the last month the unemployed and unsheltered thousands have been crowding around engine rooms in build ings and other places where there was heat and shelter, begging for a place where they might be protected from the cold. Hcrry Monroe, superintendent of the Pacific Harden mission, brought these facts to the attention of the churches with the result above stated. Nicaragua and Houdura Flg-hUiifc Sas Salvadok, Dec. 6.
