Items of General Interest that are Occur¬ ring at the Capital City. The joint Senate and House Com¬ mission to look into the methods of conducting business in the executive departments is likely to recommend some important changes in the work¬ ing of the postoffice department. Some of these changes involves the lopping ofl' of several bureau chiefs, matter finally determined upon is that the postal note must go. That kes been agreed to with unanimi¬ ty. It is considered by the commis¬ sion as a useless tiling entailing upon tho department the expense of print¬ ing without giving the people any compensating benefit. There is nothing to prevent tiie theft of the postal note and its being cashed by persons other thun the one to whom it is sent. The commission is of the opinion that paper money ean be 6ent with equal security through the mails. Senator Hill’* Hill. Senator Hill has completed his bill for the imposition of a collateral in¬ heritance, legacy or succession tax. The bill provides that all property, real and personal, which will pass by will or by the interstate laws, of any state or territory, to any persons or to any body, politic or corporate, in trust or otherwise, in excess of $5,000 shall be sabject to a tax of duty. 1. As lineal issue or ancestor at $1 per $100 in value. 2. As brother or sister or descendent of suoh, $2 per $100 in value. 8 . As brother or sister of the father or mother of the deceased, $4 per $100. 4. As brother or sister of the grand, father or grandmother of descendant thereof, $5 per $100. 5. In any other degree of collateral consanguinity or stranger in blood, body politic oreorporate, $10 per $100. Provided, that all property passing to husbands’s wife shall be exempt from tax or duty, unless such duty shall exceed $50,000 value when the excess shall be liable to taxation. Postponed Until January, The house committee on coinage, weights and measures has postponed all consideration of the bill until the second Thursday in January. When the committee met Mr. Bland asked to have the time fixed to take a vote. Mr. Kilgore of Texas said that he was a free coinage man and wanted to do all he could, but was not anxious to make any better record than he had. This hint that the bill was being pressed for a record caused Mr. Bjand to say that if there was any opposition among (he free coinage men he would not pretend to press it, and the bill was then postponed. Tke Knight* of Pythias are to hold a giaud conclave and en¬ campment iu Washington in August, 1894. The House some time ago adopted » joint resolution authorizing ihc Secretary of War to permit the nse of the monument lot and other reservations in the city for that pur¬ pose. Tiie Senate took up the resolu¬ tion on Monday and it was passed at once. The Knights splendid will be there by the thousands and campign grounds arc thus reserved. A Pudding for Cleveland. There are at the presnt time 475 ex¬ isting vacancies among Presidential postmasters, caused by expirations and resignations. December 19, 20 and 21 will be the red-letter days iti the his¬ tory of the department. Four hun¬ dred and sixty-live commissions expire during those days. This makes a total of 940 Presidential posioffices to lie filled by appointment this month. There is a contest, in nearly every one of the entire list. The (Jitfarelte Schedule of the custom bill was increased today for the purpose of allowing an iucrese of internal revenue taxes on cigarettes. It is thought that the increase will yield about $4,500,000 revenue from this source. New Chinese Treaty. Ly Wing York, Chinese consul gen- eral at San Francisco, has been sum¬ moned to Washington to confer the Chinese minister regarding a new treaty soon to be submitted by China to the United States. He left Washiugton last night. He would say only when interviewed shat the pres- ent treaty is far from satisfactory, and that the Chinese have not settled on the terms of the treaty which they in- lend to propose as a substitute. For one thing, however, the Chinese gov- ernment will not oppose the new regis- tration law. The Nevr Tariff Bill. It is considered certain that (he Wilson bill will be sent to the Senate before the first of February. It iu now the hopes of tho great bulk of Democrats that the bill can be submit¬ ted to 11m President for his signature by the 4th of March so that it can be¬ come a law one year from the begin¬ ning of bis administration. If the Senate sees proper to be ngly about it, under existing rules a vote can be de¬ layed a Jong time. There is some un¬ certainty as to how Senators Jones, Stewart, Peffer and Allen, all now ic- garded as populists will vole. They were all Republicans and have been protectionists in the past. If “In Union, Strength and Prosperity Abound.” the men classed as Democrats all vote for the bill, however, there will be no trouble in securing its adoption in the Senate The two Louisiana Sena¬ tors are opposed to the sugar features and the two Alabama Senators have expres-ed their opposition to free iron ore and coal and possibly lumber. None of them, however, would allow opposition to these features of the rneasuie to cause them to vote against it in case they could not amend it to suit their views. Throe New State*. There seems to be no doubt that Utah, Now Mexico and Arizona will become states very soon. Bills for their admission have already passed the house of representatives, and will probably find no serious opposition in tho senate. Secretary Carlisle’* Report. Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle sent in his report to Congress on Wednesday, lie says: During the first live months of the present fiscal year, I lie expenditures of the govern¬ ment have exceeded its receipts to tiie amount of $29,918,096,66. There has been not ouly a deorease of receipts, but also an increase of ex¬ penditures during this period, as com¬ pared with the corresponding five months of the last fiscal year. The revenues from customs have fallen oil $23,589,829,74: from internal taxes, $7,866,667,96, and from miscellaneous receipts, $324,152,30, Some New Bills. A bill to admit to the mails as second class matter periodical publications is¬ sued under the auspices of benevolent and fraternal societies and institutions of learning has been introduced. The house committee on public laud ha> reported favorably a bill to amend the land act of March's, 1891. The bill reported is to validate the rights of any person who had instituted a conte t prior to the passage of that act, if he was at that time qualified to make an entry for the tract. Senator Cockrell’s bill to promote aerial navigation authorizes the appro¬ priation of $100,000 for payment to any inventor from anv part of tiie world who shall at any time prior to the first of January, 1900, construct a vessel that will demonstrate the safety of navigating the air at a speed of thirty miles au hour and capable of carrying passengers aud freight at the extent of five tons.

In The Senate. 15th Day.—I n the Senate today a good part of the time was devoted to executive business and many nomina¬ tions were confirmed. During the brief legislative session Mr. Mitchell of Oregon took occasion, in securing an order for the reprinting bankruptcy, of a me¬ morial on the subject of to say that there was no justification for the impression throughout 1 he country that all hope of bankruptcy legislation was now dead. Mr. Proc¬ tor, republican, of Vermont, intro¬ duced a bill to annex the territory of Utah to the state of Nevada. At 3:35 p. m. the Senate adjourned until Wednesday, January 3, 1894. In The House. 15th Day.— The Hawaiian matter figured prominently in the last session of the house before the holiday recess. Mr. Boutelle and Mr. Blair each off¬ ered resolutions, the former calling on the secretary of the navy for the in¬ structions whereby the admiral in charge of the navy forces at Honolulu was placed uuder the command of Commissioner Blount and the warrant therefore; the later instructing the foreign affairs committees to investi- gate the question of fact relative to the Hawaiian resolution. The substi- tute for the Hitt and Boutelle resolu- tion was also presented by tho chair- man of the foreign affairs committee, Debate on each of these resolutions was avoided by the prompt action of the speaker in referring them before adjournment. Mr. Wilson gave notice that the debate on the Wilson bill would begin the day of the reconven- ing of Congress, At 3:16 the house adjourned for the holidays.

A special dispatch to the Atlanta Constitution from Columbus, Ga., says: “Parties in Columbus today from Hurtsboro, Ala., tell of the nar¬ row escai e that Rev. Mr. Andrews, of the Seale circuit, had from a relig¬ ious crank a few days ago. Mr. Andrews, while on his regular appointment at Hurtsboro, had a call from a vei y well-dressed and nice- looking white man who asked him to take a walk. The preacher, supposing that the man wanted to converse on religions matters, consented to the walk. They strolled until the cemetery was reached and tiie crank, who up to that time had been perfectly natural and rational in his remarks, suggested that they pass inside and finish their conversation. The preacher, all uu- suspecting, agreed to this also and the two walked in at the gate. Mr. An¬ drews observed that his companion was careful to close the gate securely and for the iiist time grew just a little bit suspicious and wary. They walk¬ ed along, however, until the middle of the cemetery was reached, when the crank stopped suddenly, and facing the preacher, told him that he and all the people in that town and section must stop eating meat, or he (the speaker) would make them. The preacher now realized that he was walking and talking with a crazy man, who was likely to do him harm unless he humored him and he saw that lie must act quickly. “Well,” said Mr. Andrews, “I’ve plenty of money, so I shall buy up all the meat and destroy it.” This seem¬ ed to satisfy the crank at first and they were about to turn their steps back to the town when the crank ptiiled from his pocket a pistol and a knife and demanded that tiie minister promise to say nothing about his in¬ tention to purchase all the meat in that section. Mr. Andrews assured the man that lie would keep the whole matter dark. “I am afraid to trust you,” whis¬ pered the crank excitedly and hesitat- ingly, “and expect I bad better kill you.” All the time the pistol was at. most against the minister. Mr. Au- drews was unarmed and of course was frightened. He finally persuaded the man that the secret would be kept aud it was best for them to return to the town. That night Mr. Andrews found the man prowling around his house with that same ugly pistol and knife in his hand. Mr. Andrews then went for an officer and had the man arrested. A Curious Phenomenon. A press dispatch dated at Wilming ton, N. C., says: “A curious phe nomenon was seen in the heavens here frm 6:30 to 7 this morning. It made a magnificent display, but no one seonts able to determine just what it was, some describing it as a meteor and others as a comet. One eye wit- ness says it had tiie appearance of a large star with a tail which to the na¬ ked eye seemed about 100 yards burst, long. The business end of it finally leaving a trail of fire behiud, of mauy and beautiful colors. A colored as- tronotner says he saw tho letters “VV W” distinctly outlined, while another says the word “Prepare” was there plain as day.

VOL,IV, NO. 33. SECOND MESSAGE Jm President Cleveland Lays the Hawaii* Question Before Congressr. The message is six thousand word* in length. lie gives tho history of event* 1* Hawaii in conformity with the fact* as reported by Mr. Blount, and com¬ mends future dealing with tho ex» tended power and wide discretion ol Congress. lie says:, By an act of war, com¬ mitted witlfthe participation of th* diplomatic representative of the Unit¬ ed States, lin'd without authority o* Congress, < c Government of a feebi* but friendly people has been over¬ thrown. The Provisional Government he; not assumed a Republican or a Constt- tutional form, but has remained * mere executive council or oligarchy, set up without the assentof the people It lias not •mght to find permanent basis or popular support, and has gin- en no evidence of intention to do ro, Indeed representatives of that Govern ment assert that the people of Ilawa# are unfit for popular Government, an# can be best ruled by arbitrary or den potic power. The President says lie had hoped, !» view of the fact that both the Queen and the Provisional Government had at one time uquiesced in (lie refetenc# of the entire case to the United Slate* Government, and considering th* further fact that the Provisional Gov¬ ernment, by its own declared limita¬ tions, was only “to exist until th* terms of union with the United State# have been negotiated and agreed up* on,” that after giving assurance t# members of that Government tha* such a union could not be consumma¬ ted, lie might have been able to cor* pass a peaceful adjustment of the di<$- culties. “Not unmindful of the perplexities of the situation and of limitation ot my powers,” says the president, “I instructed Minister Willis to advis# tlie queen and iter supporters of mf desire to aid in the restoration of th# status existing before the lawles* landing of the United States January.* force* at Honolulu ou the 16th of He says that he desires that such restoration should be effected on th# terms providing for clemency as well as justice to all parties concerned. The conditions suggested were am¬ nesty to all those who had in any wap participated in setting up the provi¬ sional government and recognition o# all bona fide acts and obligation* These conditions have not proved a* ceptable to the queer,, although sb* has been informed that they will b* insisted upon, and that unless accede# to, the efforts of the president to ai# in the restoration of her governmen* will cease. The president says that lie has no* yet learned that tiie queen has delaye# yielde# her acquiescence, and this has his efforts to bring about a settlement. lie adds that unfortunate publi* misrepresentations of the sentiment* of our people have obviously hindered the prospects of a successful executiv# mediation. He therefore subrn. the corre. spondence and instructions to emigres* and closed by saying: the “in commending this subject to extended powers and wide discretion of congress, I desire to add the assur¬ ance that l shall be much gratified to co-operate in any legislative plan which may be devised for the solution of the problem before us, which is consistent with American honor, in¬ tegrity and morality.” THERE IS a eoOTSCRIPT. The President’s Hawaiian message consists of two printed documents and one in writing. The important part of the document submitted iu writing (which has not yet been read to the Senate) contains instructions issued to Minister Willis under date of December 3. Two points, having special bearing upon the situation in Hawaii, are sel forth. Minister Willis is instructed to say to the Queen that the condition# relative to amnesty must be acquiesced iu by her, or he will do nothing. I# the Queen should ask what the United States will do in the way of restoring her to power and maintaining be* upon her throne, the minister i* di¬ rected to reply that the President wiB not authorize the use of the Unite# States troops, either to restore her o* maintain her upon her throne, Min’ ister Willis was told to inform th# Queen that the use of troops could only be authorized by Congress. Min. ister Willis was then directed to toll the provisional government, should they ask the same question, that he will do all that he can under execn* tivc authority to restore the Queen. The distinction noted between these two auswers to tiie same question ie the absence of the very important matter of detni) as to what tiie Presi¬ dent can do and will do under the term “executive authority.” Chicago's New Mayor. John P. Hopkins, democrat, hae been elected Mayor of Chicago, to fill die iincxpired term of Carter H. Har¬ rison.
