Washington, .Tan. 15. From out regular Correspondent. President Cleveland is an honest man. and I believe he was sincere when he said he had referred the whole matter to Congress and would be giad to co-operate with it in the execution of any plan that was consistent with the honor, in¬ tegrity and morality of the United States and for the best interest of Hawaii. That was the comment made by chairman McCreary ofthe House committee on Foreign Af¬ fairs on the Hawaiian correspon¬ dence laid before the House Satur¬ day and the Senate today. Mr. Mc¬ Creary said the committee on Rules had promised him the right of way and that just as soon as the tariff bill was disposed of he proposed to call up this Hawaiian business - That will make it likely to get before the House before it is taken tip by the Senate as it is not expect, ed that tbs investigation of tho Sen¬ ate committee on Foreign Relations will he completed by the 29, when the House will pass the tariff bill. Much has been said concerning the abandonment by President Cleveland of his Hawaiian policy. I can state upon unquestioned au¬ thority that the President has not changed his opinion on the subject, on the contrary, he is now more strongly convinced than ever that it would bo both wise and just to restore the government which was wrongfully overthrown by a misuse of the power of the United States in the hands of an intriguing Minis¬ ter, arid he believes that if Congress will divest the subject of sentiment and prejudice and place it on the high ground of plain right and wrong it will eventually arrive at the same conclusion. That is just the point. Congress seems to be utterly unable to divest it of sen¬ timent and prejudice, ami for that reason, if for no other, is not likely to decide in favor of a restoration of the former government of Haw- aii. Secretary Carlisle has directed that the clerical force of the sixth Auditor’s office be at once organ¬ ized. The reorganization includes the abolishment ofthe examining divi ion and the division of review and numerous changes in the oth¬ er divisions, all in accordance with the recommendations of the report, ofthe Dockery committee to Cong¬ ress. Some employees will have to be dropped and the republicans ia i bo < fliue have an idea, probably a cot re ct one, that they will all bo republicans. Other thin s being eq¬ ual, Secretary Carlisle will give the democrats the preference every lime. The decision of the democrats ou the Ways and Means committee to report the income tax as a separate bill was obtained’ like the decision in favor of the income tax itself, by a majority of only one vote. There is considerable talk among demo¬ crats about calling a democratic caucus for tbe special puspose of deciding whether the bill shall be made a party measure, as the tar¬ iff bill is. There is no douot about the income tax being favored by a large majority of the democrats of the House, but there are still e- ntmgh demt orats opposed to defeat it if the votes of ail the republicans could he counted upon, nut if the republicans follow Tom Reed, they will refuse to vote when an attempt is made to take up lire bill, just as they did when the House was lour days in getting a quorum of democrats together to take up the tariff bill. 11 tin y do that and the democrats oppose to tho bill ,(l-o refuse to vote there will ho no quorum and the bill cannot be ta¬ ken up. The approval of the demo¬ cratic caucus would certainly make t o (measure more likely to pass. Tim House coinage committee has authoriz ‘d a fav .ruble report in uhaiunti) Bland’s (fill providin'? ‘or the issue pi once to meet, the current needs of the Treasury of silver certificates for the seignor¬ age of silver bullion now on hand, amounting to more thee $55 000, 0G0. The bill will be reported after the tariff is disposed of. The democrat,e of the House came out of tqe week’s general debate ou tho Wilson tariff bill with fiyiog they roet the arguementsof republicans at every point, and votes of the House upon the u- which will pe submitted democratic me rubers who are opposed to this or that schedule will not meet the objections within the party. These amendments will be voted upon during the five-m’r- utes debate which will go on until time for taking the votes is The final result is a fore¬ conclusion. Secretary Carlisle is once more victim of the rumor mongers. Every act is misrepresented. For iuetance, Senator Sher¬ man called at the Treasury Satur¬ afternoon and immediately the telegraph wire weres made hot by the sensational stories sent out his having been sent for to aid the Secretary in preparing for issue of bonds under the law of Your correspondent does not to say by autherity that Carlisle has or has not to issue bonds, but he does moat emphatically that what¬ he has decided to do he has asked either aid nor advice John Sherman.
