In an interview published in the Even

have said:
You ate authorized to *Ute that no
change in the present situation will take
place for several weeks. I brought with
ine certain instructions from the United
States government on the Hawaiian git-
nation. but ilnce my arrival contingen

I have thought best to submit these
matters to Washington before proceed

At gave the annexation
ists much satisfaction, and the royalists
were much displeased. On account of
the many rumors current of the con
templated action of the queen's support
ers, the provisional government fonnd it
necessary to keep two companies of sol
diers under anus for several night* “
the Alameda tailed.
Continuing, Minister Willis said:
"I mean that until the time comes for
e to carry out my intentions, the
pence and good order of thin community
will be kept undisturbed in the interest
of humanity, and that any attempt
to make
made by any person or person* to make
trouble will lie promptly checked and
punished. You may put the matter
more plainly and say that, even if the
provisional government discharged all
its troops today, no lawlesmess would
be allowed for one moment under the
present situation of affairs.
•The whole Hawaiian question is now
In abeyance, and nothing that the news
papers can say or do will alter this state
ment one iota. I make this statement
on my own responsibility and in the hope
that ft will allay the preeent excitement.
No one need fear trouble, and no
lawlessness will be permitted."
After this statement minors began to

Washington, Deo. 5.—After
routine morning businees, Senator Hoar
introduced a resolution calling on the
president for copies of the instructions
#o Minister Willis and Admiral Irwin

The meeting of the senate finance com
be no financial legislation at this cession,
at least until long after the tariff is dis
posed of.
No positive action was taken, but the
geoeral drift of the talk of the senators
who Joined forest In securing the repeal
of the Sherman silver purchase act
■bowed plainly that there waa to be no
resurrection of silver legislation and no
pushing of financial measure* of any
sort or character.
The tariff was the principal topic of
discussion at the meeting.
Should there be headings on the tariff
when the bill comes before theasuate.
or should these hearings be comma

Washington, Dec. 5.—One of the most
Important incidents of tho coming con
gress will be the introduction by one or
more inflnential eastern
a series of resolutions having for their
object the recovery by the United States
of the vast sums of money—estimated at
over #100,000,000—which for many years
have been withheld illegally by the
Pacific railroads.
There resolutions are now being pre
pared, and will be presented without lose
of time. Their chief importance just
now hinges upon the fact that they are
intended not only to secure from the
railroads themselves such funds and
properties re may yet be available, bat

Frederick L. Ann*, Elisha Atkins, Mark
Hopkins, Leland Stanford and Charles
Crocker for the many million *
which they, wile managing an ,
the Union and CentralPadfie railroads,

The story of the huge debt to the gov

has been told many times, and need not
be repeated at length here. It was in
