HENRI Minority Report of the Ways and Means Committee. THE PRODUCT OF REED'S MIND The Wilson BilLCarcfully Dissected and its Inconsistencies Pointed out. Associated Press. Washington, Dec. 21. In the senate today Proctor Introduced a bill to an nex Utah to Nevada. At 3:45 the sen ate adjourned until January 3d. Washington, L'ec. 21. The house com mittee on foreign rotations have agreed to report a substitute for J ho Hitt Ha waiian resolution. The substitute con demns the action of Minister Stevens. The report of the minority members of the ways and means committee was submitted to the house this afternoon, The portion of the report discussing the bill was generally prepared by Reed. The report says: The most surprising thing about this bill is the fact that there Is a proposition to raise the revo nues in 1S93, which are only $2,000,000 above expenses. This fact, and the fact that by this bill a larger part of the burden of taxation is traneferr from foreigners and brought to our own citizens, should always be 1ej. mind. Had the bill been for revenue only, the people of the country might have seen at a glance whatever they detlred, one policy or the other, and the question might have been settled onte for all and the country attain that repose and stability on which our prosperity so much, depends. Going' tntp the details of the bill, the minority report says: "Although lumber passes through the same plant as boards, workmen who manage saws are un protected,', while workmen who run planes are shielded by protective t'ui- taxes. "The new method also involves a method of encouraging manufactur- rs by giving them, what Is called "free raw materials," bq that what, goes Into the mills has no tax, and what goes finto consumption has all taxes. Un- ortunately, however, It happens also that free raw material is another man's inished product. This bill pretends to be a revenue tariff, and does not raise revenue; it pretends to give protection, but destroys it in every way. It says 'to the manufacturer, 'for you we furnlth ree coal, iron ore, wool, and the mar kets of the world.' - Instead, it fur nishes a new lot of enemies, men who ig in mines and raise sheep for it really creates what its enemies falf-ely barge against republican protection privileged class against which the mines and the Held will both arrav Ihemsolves, and a privileged clana does not care to be privileged. The New Mexico statehood bill goes over the holiday recess, the democrats being unable to get a quorum In the house to take It up today. Boutelle sent to the clerk's desk, and had read a resolution questioning the authority of Blount to command Amer ican naval officers at Honolulu. The vice-president declined to allow him to discuss the resolution wit .hunt unani mous consent, which he could not ob tain. The resolution was rpfnrrprl t: the committee on naval affairs. At 3:10 the hcuse adjourned until January 3d. LATEST FUOMxHAWAlI. The Idea of Forming a Commonwealth Taking Deep Root. San Francisco, Dec. 21. Conespond- nce Associated Press Honolulu, H. I , Dec. 14. The last advices received fioin 'he United States came by the bnn;- ntine G. L. Perkins. Among thcEe as the ex-queen's statement MRdi! to Blount. Prominent royalists state this statement is reliable, and sets forth in succinct manner the claims of the royalists. Political affairs are in 11 state of abeyance awaiting the ntv.s hich is expected on the" A!anuu;i, due l.ere on December 21st. The pro. 'is lonal government is carrying out lis line of defense, and the woii. of forti fying the executive building is still pro gressing. As a result of the at.Uon of he advisory council, quii-j a number more of the royalist aympathtzers have been removed from public office. Min- ALE fter Willis hat .i.iIJiItiu to r.n situation beyond that he is awaiting further Instructions from Washington. All efforts to find out the position that will be taken by the British In me case mat trouble should arise-, has eo far failed. It Is generally under stood that the ex-queen's policy, sh uid the be restored, would be one of genor al amnesty with the exception of a few men at the head of tha provisional government. Annexationists claim tht the ex-queen will never have a ehunco to display either good will or iiatrcd towards these men so lon'g as there Is an American alive In Hawaii. The Ill-health of President Dole is caur.'ng mush anxiety. Among the ahnexationlste the idea of forming a commonwealth in Hawaii In case the present government is lei ft on Its own resources, is taking dec root. This afternoon the minister finance presented his report, wl.i shows that the financial condition the government Is in a most proisnerous condition. The revenue cutiti Corwln arrived unexpectedly this morning Is understood that Capt. Mungor lias delivered executive dispatches to Mln later Willis. Interviews with the members of th cabinet show that the government inter. prets Cleveland's mesraga to congress to mean: I will restore the ex -queen peaceably if possible, and In c.-.sa find this cannot be done, I will refer the matter to congress for settlement The royalists ire very uneasy fit lb prospect, and annexationists deelur that if they are fated io go dn, i will be with colors flying, ani uivi the "pomp and circumstance" of actual war. WAITE MEANS TO STAY. ile Expresses His Intention of Fight . lug Ad Infinitum. Denver, Dec. 21. Six hundred dele Bates, representing nearly every mu i.icipallty in the state, attended the bus. iness men's convention today. Gov Waite was present by invitation. H promises to give a careful considera tion to any reasons the convention might advance agaln3t calling the k'g. Isiature In special session as proposed by him.' "I am in favor," he said, "of fighting1' for the free coinage of silver nl 16 to 1, not all summer, but till hell freezes over." Resolutions were adopt. cd denying that there was sufficient reason for calling an extra session of the legislature, and declaring such rourse would do the state more harm than good. Reasons were also recited io show that Colorado had almost en tlrely recovered from the panic, and while the state haB been grievously wounded by the demonetization of sil ver, our other resources, such as gold, coal and agriculture, were developing wonderfully.

The rase win nave i w HIT Terrible Experience in a Burn ing Mine. BUT ONE FATALITY REPORTED Scenes of Anguish Around the Shaft while the Work of Rescue Progressed. Associated Press. Mlnonk, Ills, Dee. 21, At 5 o'clock this afternoon, a fire broke out in the mine operated by the Chicago and Mlnonk Coal Mining Co., situated one mile from this city. For a while the flames held 200 miners in deadly peril of their lives. All escaped, however, and but few were Injured. The man most ser iously hurt was George Erbland, who caused the disaster by attempting to light a torch while standing near a can of kerosene. The oil flamed up, and In his effort to extlnxuish the fire, Erblund upset ' the can of kerosene, which at once gave the flames great Impetus. The dry timber lining the walls of the main shaft were ablaze In an Instant and the fire Bpread with such appalling rapidity that it Bcemed as though the men In the shaft must perish. About a hundred of them es caped through the main shaft befor the Are rendered it impassable. Two hundred men were still at the bottom of the shaft and the fire was spreading furiously. The wildest kind of panic prevailed around the mouth of the shaft, where the families of the Im prisoned miners were gathered. It was found that there was not sufficient hose to reach far enough down the shaft, and..consquently It " was of no use in extinguishing the flamej; the Illinois Central at once despatched an engine to Eureka for1 more hose. It ctme in remarkably short time, and two gallant fellows made an attempt to descend the shaft. The smoke, how ever, was pouring out In Buch clouds that the men were dragged bock half sufflcated, and two others seized the hose and started down. They were also drawn back nearly dead, and a third equally unsuccessfully, attempt was made. It then seemed that unless the men succeeded In escaping by 'way of the ventilating shafts, their hope was gone. There were three ventllal- ng shafts and to two of these the men n' the mine had ruslHd, crazed Willi fear, burned with fallen timbers, and choked and blinded by smoke, which was rapidly filling the mine. Fortunate ly, however, every man reiU'.Ml ihu foot of one of these vemi'.iiliiig shafts, RESTORED TO DUTY. Washington, Dec. 21.
