PROPOSITION OF TDE POPDLISTS To Supply a Quorum If Their Demands Are Hot. Hawaiian News. Washington, Jan. 6. The State department is inclined to discredit the Auckland despatch to the Associated Press of last night saying that Minister Willis bad made a demand on the Provisional Government of Hawaii to abdicate in favor of the Queen, on the ground that such action is dtrectly contrary to instructions sent by the Corwlu and received by Wlllla Dec. 11, nearly two months before the date of Auckland advices. There is intense anxiety however in Congressional cir cles and all sorts of humors afloat that blood has already been spilled at Honolulu. A Tariff Caucus. Washington, Jan. 5. Chairman Holman, of the house Democratic cau cus, had issued a call for a caucus to night at 7 o'clock. Forty-seven Demo crats slgued the request for the call. The purpose of the call is toconsldT the merits of the tariff bill. This is ac cepted as the first open demonstration of opposition to the bill in its present form. No member of the ways and means committee signed the call. The internal reveauo feature and income tax will receive consideration. Chair man Wilson's associates express a will ingness to go into the caucus. Wilson said his understanding is that the cus toms features and all the other sections of the bill will be considered. Many Democrats deprecate a caucus, as they see In it the prospects of a disagreeable clash within the party. no quorum. The house opened in an uproar, The Democrats lacked eight of having a quorum at one o'clock this afternoon. Committee ou rules decided to report a rule for the final voto on the tarlft bill, January 25th. Several absentees are expected on the afternoon trains and it has been decided to continue to tight for an hour or two at least, instead of adjourning to go into caucus in the hope that ar rivals will give a quorum. Intha Home. The Democrats still laoked 12 votes of a quorum at 3 p. m. Populists who re frained from voting say they do so be cause they want more time for debate. They insist on having all next week for general debate. They have in formed the Democrats that they will furnish a quorum If their demands are granted. Cherokee Bonds Bought. Chicago, III., Jan. 6.

Chicago, Jan, 3. Walter H. Camp bell, a promoter, came to Chicago with the world's fair wave aud floated away with a lot of money dishonestly ob tained. It is said he got away with be tween $100,000 and (150,000 in cash. Campbell represented himself as a mll l'oualro from California. He took a lively interest in the Boston company that bad an electrical forging exhibit at the fair. Campbell declared that the process of forging by electricity was destined to make fabulous wealth for the men controlling the patent. He set about securing the rights for Illinois and organizing a stock company to es tablish a plant in Chicago. A stock company was organized with a capital of $2,000,dop. Ie was known as the Illinois Electrical Forging Company. Campbell" was the president in fact, he was the whole concern. All the money was turned over to him, Campbell, visited his old home at Lewiston, III., where, it is said, he secured $116,000 in notes from Henry Phtlps, a banker, and $45,000 in cash from a wealthy farmer. Campbell wanted, to get that money, and he went to the West Pullman Land Company nnd negotiated for a big building that bad been erected by a watch company but was never occupied . To secure an option on this property, Campbell put up $5000 in cash in lieu of a bond. An office was established IntheTitlods Trust building aud the promoter sold that stock. One day Campbell went 'to see the Boston com pany about getting the machinery.' He never came back. SOME OREGON CONTEST. Mitchell and Dolph Will Oppose Eastern Men for Indian Agents. Washington, Jan. 5. There will be another contest- in the senate over the confirmation of appointees from Eastern states as Indian agents in the West. The fight will open with Ore gon appointments, aud both Djlph and Mitchell have said they intend to object to Beudlng'i.bjipolntees-from the East and South into their state. It is belieyed all western men will support them, and it is claimed by those who support the administration in the mat ter that Indian agencies are purely un der federal control, and that appointees cau be sent from any section of the country to government agencies. RINGING RESOLUTIONS. At a meeting of the Portland oham berof commerce the following resolu tions were prepared, but have not yet been adepted: Whereas, On Christmas day Sylves ter Pen noyer, governor of Oregon, ad dressed an open letter to the president of the United States, in which he said: 'Today Is the Hist Christmas iu the biBtory of Oregon when moie than two thirds of its people are out of employ ment, and more than one-third with out sufficient means of support;' nnd 'the debtors are powerless to avoid the seizure of their property aud their homes to satisfy, at a small per centage of their value, the claims of creditors.' Now, therefore, as these statements have been given widespread distribu tion by the American Press, and buy ing emanated from the governor, the highest official of the state, may be j taken by those unacquainted with me couuuious exiauu in uregon as authentic, and thus do an in jury wholly untimely and unwarranted in every particular, but which, never theless, would be paralyzing In its ef fects and influence alike upon the pro. ducing, manufacturing, commercial and financial interests of the state, and, Whereas, Investigation throughout the state, except Portland, docs not show any material percentage of un employed or destitute, and investiga tion in the city of Portland, the largest center of population in the Pacltlo Northwest, as made by the Bradstreet Commercial Agency, gives 1500 wage earners as unemployed and 2000 de pendent upon them; also the city board of charities gives as a result of their in vestigation not to exceed 1000 as partly destitute, and, Resolved, by the chamber of com merce of Portland, Or., In special ses sion assembled, that, In defense of the fair name of our state, we declare Ore eon has not yet become the exclusive home of poverty nnd paupers, and that we condemn the statements of the gov ernor and brand them an -erroneous, misleading, injurious and not war ranted nor substantiated In any man ner by the facts or conditions In any section of the stale or throughout the 8tateasa whole. Whkhkab, the resultof investigation shows Portland has In reality the third lowest percentage of unemployed and destitute of 50 clllw from various mo tions of the United States as publiohed by Bradstreel's on Dec. 23, 1803: and, Wheukas, In the matter of the Ini- Filled persecution of debtor by cred tors in the statement of the Kovernor, Inquiry has developed the f.iet that the records of tlii courts of the state show a comparatively leu percentage of forced collections and foreclosures than at any previous time la the history of the tttate; therefore b It Resolved, that these resolutions be given our delegation iu congress for presentation to the president of the United States aud also to the Associa ted Press for general publication. COLD WAVJ3 CONTINUES. All Europe Suffering from the Coldest Weather Known. London, Jan. 5. The severe cold continues throughout Great Britain. The temperature in many places is the lowest ever known, and though the thermometer registers 5 to 10 abovo zero, the Buffering is as great as at 20 below in the United States. People are entirely unprepared for It, and suffering among poor is intense. Many deaths havo occurred from ex posure, and a heavy snow storm pre vails. Reports from Spain say the most in tense cold- prevails there. At Burges several people were frozen to death. Suow is still falling and the cold is in creasing. The same conditions also prevail in Russia. Young Recruits. Lima, Peru, Jan. 5. Tho govern ment authorities here are going to great lengths in their efforts to levy soldiers to serve in the regular army. Even boys 12 years old have been salzed in the streets by recruiting de tails and dragged to tho barracks, where they are forced to enter the ranks. Those classes of citizens who have been exempt from forced enlistment do not escape at this time, but even firemen aud national guardsmen are made to join the regular forces. It was Impos sible to bury some corpses which had been taken to the cemeteries for inter ment Tuesday, as the gravediggers em ployed at these places had been forcibly taken away from their work, and with out a moment's warning hustled oil to become soldiers. Closing India's Mints. London, Jan. 5. The Pall Mall Ga zette publishes an interview with Sir James Mackay, late president of the Indian Currency Association. Ho says: "I have not yet had time to judge If ttie closing of the mints is a success. Speculation led to abnormal importa tions of silver. The banks imported largely of coin In order to be ready to meet bids already lodged by specu lators who were hoping for u rise. Iu consequence, there were fewer bills than usual on the market, aud specu lators were compelled to buy sterling and largely cover their sales. This will be entirely stopped shortly, aud there is no doubt tho measure will eventually be a suece." Bank of England. London, Jan. 5. Tho statement of the Bank of England: Bullion increase during the week, 301,077; reserve, in crease 61,000; circulation, increase 297,000; soeuritles, lucre iso 2,100,000; other deposits, increase 1, 80S 000; publlo deposits, Increase 1,751,000; notes, reservu, increase 81,000; gov ernment securities, Increase 1,600,000; proportion of reserve to liability, 41,47 per cent. Bank rate unchanged. A Sad Change. London, Jan. 5. Tho Westminster Quzette, referring to tho annual report of Carlisle, says it seems clear that the United States will shortly raise a loan. It adds that the financial position of the United States has changed strange ly since a few years ago when tho gov ernment scarcely knew how to dispose of the enormous annual surplus. A King's Millions. Milan, Jan. 5. Secola declares the private fortuuo of King .Humbert, amounting to about 100,009,000 lire, has been deposited with tha London house of Rothchllds.

New Youk, Jan. 6. Tho Commer cial Advertiser's Washington special says that the incomo tax Is almost cer tain to be knocked out of the Wilson bill by tho senate If retained by the house. If the Republicans will vote with tho Eastern Democrats In the bouse, the chances aro the proposition will never reach the senate. The Democrats who want to fight against tho ways and means commltte on this proposition have been making au esti mate of their strength, nnd have come to the conclusion the committee cau bo defeated in the house if the Republicans will cast practically a solid vote against the Income tax. It is proposed to hold meetings of tho Eastern delegations and make a thorough cauvass of tho matter, uueor the most influential Southern men in the houso said today that, as he figured, tho Republicans would be almost solidly opposed to the lucome tax, tho Democrats of the East will oppose it almost to a man, nnd there will be a serious division among tho Democrats of tho South and West on tho question, If the opposition can be brought to act together, tho commit tee will be defeated. A Crook Caught. Seattle, Jan. 5. W. M. Parker, wanted at Salem, Or., on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, was arrested at Ballard by Sheriff Woolery, and is now a prisoner in tho county Jail. It appears that Parker, until recently, traveled through Orogoo purchasing produce which he would sell through the whole salo commission houso of Rlchet, Roberts & Kern of Portland. While so engaged he drew a sight draft upon the firm, which ho cashed at Salem upon the strength of the Indorsement of M. P. Town send. The draft was int honored by Ricbet, Roberts & Kern, and In consequence Townsend had to make good the money ndynucod. When Parker heard of this ho fled from the state, aud since ho arrived at Ballard has gone under an assumed name. He was Joined Sunday last by his wife, Who oamo on from Mlohlgau. Parker Is interested In tha Ashing sohooner Oiprey, wbioh Is now flltlug out at Ballard for a cruise in Alaskau waters. It was presumably his Inten tion to leavo with tho vessel for Alaska, but an olllcer will be here today for tbo purpose of taking the prisoner back to Salem. Election Contest Settlement. Walla WALLA,Jan.5 Walla Walla county will have a Democratlo auditor after uoxt Monday, The election last year resulted In a tie between W. B. Hawley, Republican, and J. H, Huff man, Demoorat. Instead of deciding tho matter by lot the contestants com promised in this way: Hawley to be auditor the first year and Huffman deputy, and their positions to bo ro versed tho second year.

O'Brien, of tha federated trades, has compiled figures showing the num ber of unemployed In Portland, Basing tha population at eighty thou -sand, he estimates tweuty thousand wage earners. Of these, sixty-three per cent aro unemployed, seventeen per cent employed on full tluin aud twenty per cent on reduced time. Wine Growers' Kick Han Fra.vcisoo, Jan. 6. In the Wilson bill, as reported to the house by the ways aud man committee, the duly on still wines is fixed at 60 cents a gallon In wo d; but since the bll was Bakincr Powder so reported an additional clause has been Insorted to the effect that the duty on still wines shall in no case exceed 100 per cont of tho invoice value of the goods. This clause practically kills the tariff so far as It might be beneficial to California wine producers. Under such a provision It is possible to deliver French wines (which come into compe tition with California "vln ordinaire") at 18 cents a gallon in New York; whereas the least figure nt which Cali fornia produota can be sold for there is 22 cents; and oven at this prlco there is only a soant marirln for the nroducer. The state board of viticulture baa de cided to tako steps immediately to fight the adoption of tbo objeotionable olause. Fair Name Slandered. Spokane, Jan. 5.-Herman L.
