Washington, Jan. 5
THE United State cutter Corwin
briugs the latest nows from Hon
olulu. The dispatches from
Honolulu announcing that Mr.
Willis has demanded that the Provis
isnal government surrender tneir au
thority to the queen has caused con
siderable of a sensation at the capital.
There is some difTerenos of opinion
as to its accuracy, tbo friends of the
administration, especially those of the
foreign affairs committee of the house,
expressing doubt as to its truth, Out the
general opinion is that, if it is true, it
will change the faco of things in con
Kress and that there will be immediate
action in the matter. Apparently if
Mr. Willis has requested the pro
visional government to step down and
out, the administration has been taken
by surprise
STATEMENTS ARE DOUBTED.
The understanding of those men in
congress who have been acting for the
ad-.iuistratiou is that the instructions
sent by tne Corwin, which arrived in
Houolulu on Use. 11, were for Mr.
Willis to take uo further action pend
ing tbe consideration of the question
by congress. Upon tliis information
tiiev are inclined to doubt tbe state
ment in the dispatch. These instrue
tions, however, were based on the re
fusal of the queen to grant amnesty or
to ascend the throne without the sup
port of the United States to uiaintaiu
her.
Therefore, if tbe queen has changed
her mind and decided to accept the of
fer of Mr. Cleveland to the conditions
imposed, it is entirely within the scodb
of possibility that Mr. Willis would act
upon bis original instructions us apply
ing only to conditions existing while
the qUMn was obdurate.
CORRESPONDENCE WITH WILLIS.
Revised, corrected and complete
copies of the Hawaiian correspondence
transmitted to congress with the
president's message of Dec. 18, have at
hist been laid before the house commit
tee on foreign affairs. The volume in
its completed and corrected form, con
tains a number of interesting and im
portant communications from and to
Minister Willis heretofore Unpub
lished. A confidential dispatch from
Mr. Willis to Secretary Greshaui,
datod Nov. 11. lS'JU, reads as follows:
Nov. 7 at 11 o'clock I presented to the
urovlsional tfoverumeut Mr. Blount's
letter of recall and the letter accrediting
me as his successor. 1 lie time siuce then
has been occupied with the receptiou of
executive, judicial and diplomatic repre
sentatives of the provisional and foreign
governments. 1 have not, therefore, bad
an opportunity of executing more fully
your instructions-, nor was fuller action ad
Visablo while this excitement was so
great. 1 expect next Monday morniuir, Nov-
13. to have an interview with the queen,
which If satisfactory, will bo followed
immediately bv one with the provisional
government. 1 huve therefore enclosed a
tejegram to your dispatch agent ut San
Francisco as follows: "Heportcanbe sent
to concress Nov. 19, it being my under
standing that you desired to have all tbe
facts presented before any decisive action
here. The Alameda, the next vessel leav
ing hereafter next Mondiy, will not reach
tan rrancisco uutu -Nov. 'is, during which
interval it is hoped some definite result
may be secured.
The interview with the queen, first
nad, was evidently not ''satisfactory
for Nov. 16 Mr. Willis telegraphed
secretary liresham as follows
Views of first party so extreme as to re
quire instructions.
This was doubtless the dispatch
which called forth from Secretary
(ireshaiu that reply which has been
published, but without being accom
pnnied by the message to which it was
an answer, and is as follows, under
date of Nov. 24;
The brevity nnd uncertainty of your tel
egrams are embarrassing. You will insist
upon amnesty and recognition of obliga
tions of the provisional government uses
eontial conditions of restoration. All in
terests will be promoted by prompt ac
tion.
TO PROTECT THE QCTUUf,
Mr. Willis in bis confidential dispatch
of Nov. 11 intimated that the question
as to whether tne United htatos was
prepared to protect the person of the
queen has been officially asked nf him
by the British minister, Major Wood-
house. Mr. Willis says:
1 replied tto tbe British ministon that
witliciut reference to her royal claims, tho
queen stood in such relations to in United
Mates tuat she was entitieu to anu would
receive tho amplest protection at their
hands. Asa matter of act, I hud already
ascertained that, at presout, she did not
desire our protection. After next Monday
and eailierif necessary, I shall lusist on
coming to the legation.
The domiciling of Queen Liliuokalanl
in Ihe American legation appears to
have been another of Mr. Willis' orig
inal intentions which he left unexe.

change of mind opens up a wide li -Id
of conjecture, which the correspond
ence. even as now extended, fuils to

WOMEN ACTIVE IN POLITICS.
Washington, Jan. 5
HE house of representatives gave
another remarkable demonstra
tion totlay of its inability to
transact public business against
the will of an active and hostile min
ority. After a session of nearly four
hours Hpent iu an attempt to reach a
vole on a report of tne committee on
rules, it was realized that, in the ab
sence of some fortv or fifty Democratic
members, and with the It publiotus.to
a man, declining to vote, it was im
possible tomaltoany progress, and there
WO nothing left but to adjourn.
The report on which the fight was
made came from the committee ou
rules, and was to the etfoct that the
house should meet daily at U a. in.,
sit till 0 ')0 p. in. and then take a re
cess till S p. in , ami the house should
sit as in committee of the whole on the
tariff bill, that general debate should
close Wednesday, Jan. 10, that the
bill should then be open to amend

on the bill and amendments should be
ordered Jau. 25 at noon.

Stroudsuuro, Pa., Jan. 5.
NE of the most daring anil sensa
tional feats of grave robbers ever
undertaken iu Monroe county
came to light this morning,
wneu visitors to the cemetery here die
covered that an attempt hail beeu made
to euter the imp sing family vault of
Colonel E. E Norton. This vault,
which is one of the most notable pieces
of masonry in the Strondsbiirg burying
grouud, is built of heavy limestone,
with granite facings It is thirty-five
feet hu'h and twenty feet wide, and
cost ; '- i. ! '. It was specially designed
to keep out iulruders, and was consid
ered invulnerable against possible at
tack. Massive steel burs guarded its
entrance, and the imur apartments
were ho arranged, it was thought, as to
baffl the hardest ell'orts of possible de -spoilers.
Holes bad been drilled in the stone,
however, and dynamite charges ex
ploded, shattering the masonry and
permitting the door to be forced open
by means of crowbars. O.ice inside,
the ghouls had expected, it is sup
posed, to discover valu ible jewelry
upon the remains of the colonel's wife,
lately deceused. It had been gener
ally believed that when the body of
Mrs. Norton was placed in the vault,
handsome family jewels were placed
beside it. Iu this hope they forced the
outer door and drew thj cisket from
its resting place down to the flaor of
tbe vault, where it was opened aud
searched.
THE OHOTJL8 RAFF LED.
A earful scrutiny revealed that their
quest had beeu a vain one. No valua
aolus were found, uud the intruders
gut nothing. The noise of the explo
sion of dyuamitti brouglit residents in
the vicini'y of the cemetery to the spot
aud frightened the thieves away, 'ihe
casket yet lay ou tbe floor, where the
robbers had "left it, with the glass bro
ken ; and beside it lay the bars and other
implements whereby the thieves had
gained entrance.
There is no clue to tbe identity of
the ghouls. The appearance of the
vault indicates that the outrage was
the work of professionals. Much skill
was manifested iu the blowing opeu of
tie door. A reward will bo paid for
information leading to tbe capture of
the miscreants.

title you to $7;! pr month. Said rate
will, therefore, be reduced to 50 per
mouth, unless satisfactory evidence

lar aud constant personal aid aud at

A Chance Now to Teat the Legality of

New York, Jan. 5. The presidents
of 1 he railroads in the Trunk Line and
the Central Traffic associations met
this afternoon to act upon au agree
ment for tbe formation of a pool
on all dead freight, live stock
dressed beef and traffic east of
Chicago. Such an agreement was
draWU up and adopted by the
joint committee of the two assoei
tioni some time ago, and was later
acted upon by the presidents of both
associations. This was adopted this
afternoon, as all tbe roads aru iu favor
of it.
it is plainly a violation of the in
terstate commerce law, hut that is pre
cisely what the railroad managers ar
after. They want to bring the matter
to an issue and have the question settled
once for all. The adoption of the pool
agreement assures a legal fight over
the constitutionality of the interstate
commerce law. Perhaps, when the
receivers of the Erie road ask permis
sion of the court to enter the agree
ment, the question will be precipitated.
