VISIT A MYSTERY
Representative Hatch of Hawaii Put
zled Over It
HER MISSION IS DISCUSSED
No Olfiicinl Notice of Her Coming
Was Sent by His GovernmentSaid
to Desire AunciationThe Dele
gate From the Island Republic is
Waiting for News From Honolulu.
Washington. Dec. 11. While no of
ficial Information has been received as
to the purpose of ex-Queen Lllluokal
anl's visit to this country, her arrival
at this time occasions much comment
in official quarters. She will be met
here, it Is understood, by Princess Kal
ulanl, who has been sojourning in Italy,
and will come here for this meeting.
Minister Hatch, of Hawaii, is now In
New York, and Mr. Cooper, the Hawaii
an minister of foreign affairs. Is en
route to San Francisco, to take the
steamer for Hawaii on the 16th Inst.
This will brine him Into close proxim
ity to the ex-queen at San Francisco.
In the event of the ex-queen and
princess coming to Washington, their
visit, It Is believed, could not be regard
ed by the authorities here as official,
for the United States has formally rec
ognized the Republic of Hawaii, and Its
diplomatic representatives receive full
otlicial credit here.
HATCH SURPniSED.
New York. Dec. 11. Minister Hatch,
when seen today at his house, No. 49
East Sixty-fourth Street, said:
"I was surprised to learn of the ex
queen's landing In San Francisco by
the morning papers, which Is all that
I have heard or know in relation to the
matter. No Intimation reached me of
any Intention on her part to visit the
I'nlted States or of any motive that
she might have in coming here. As to
whether she Is making the trip for po
litical purposes or not, I am sure I
don't know. I have never heard of
any offer to her of $3,000 a year pen
sion, such as is mentioned In the San
Francisco dispatches. In fact, I have
no knowledge that she has been offered
anything at all.
"If the government had promised her
$10,000 on condition that she should
come to the United States and secure
the annexation of Hawaii I should
probably have heard something of it..
"I shall probably have dispatches and
letters from Honolulu In the course of
a few days, and will then know whether
or not Lilloukulunl's mission here is
at the instance of the government or
whether she has made the trip for pri
vate reasons. I am inclined to think,
however, that there Is little founda
tion for the statements that she is to
act In any way for the Hawaiian gov
ernment toward obtaining the annexa
tion of the islands. I am rather in
clined to think that she Is here simply
for reasons of her own, and in a purely
private capacity." ,
KX-Ql'EEN LIL RETICENT. '
San Frnnclscrt, Chl Dec. 11. Ex
Queen LUlunkalonl is extremely reti
cent. To all questions as to her Inten
tions she replies: "I have not matured
my plans." She would not even say
why she had left Honolulu. The Ha
waiian consul, however, has received
advices from the covernment statin?
that on the mornlnsr of her departure
j.inoiiKainm caneu on President Dole
and Informed hhn that she was going
to Boston to see relatives of her hus
band, the late John Dominis.
Representatives of Hawaii In this
country have been instructed to show
the ex-queen every courtesy while she
is In the United States.
AN EYE ON THE VAM30SE.
The New York Journal's Croft Will
He Closely Watched.
Washington. Dec. 11. Vigilance on
the part of the authorities of the gov
ernment acalnst any violation of in
ternational law of United States sta
tutes received another illustration to
day when Secretary Carlisle ordered
the collector of customs at Wilming
ton, N. C. to thoroughly Investigate
the purposes of the yacht Vamoose
(the fast news flyer of the New York
Journal) in. her cruise to the Cuban
coast. The department has not con
sidered It necessary to seize the yacht;
but such have been the advices of the
department of justice and the conse
quent avowed principles of the gov
ernment on the subject of filibustering
that the treasury department is not
willing to permit the slightest devia
tion from what it considers a direct
course to pursue concerning vessels
plying between bur harbors and the
Cuban coasts.
The peacefulness of the Vatnoose's
mission (that of conveying news to
and fro for a prominent metropolitan
journal) Is not questioned. The only
theory the treasury department is act
ing upon is that of taking every pre
caution against violations of interna
tional law and treaty obligations.
SPAIN IS SATISFIED.
Has no Fault to Find With Presi
dent Cleveland's Rhetoric.
Washington. Dec. 11. Somi-offlnlal ad
vices from Madrid state that government
circles as well as the conservative element
generally are entirely satisfied with that
feature of the president's message which
related to Cuba. The first Impression
created by the meagre reports cabled to
Spain was not satisfactory and produced
some Irritation.
When the full text of the Cuban chapter
appeared In the leading papers of the
kingdom there was. It is reported, a com
plete revolution of sentiment and the
president's courteous and considerate
treatment of the subject received general
approval.
RED CROSS FOR CUBA.
An Appeal is Made by the Junta for
Volunteers.)
Philadelphla.Dec. 11. A special meet
ing of the Pennsylvania Red Cross as
sociation was held this afternoon at
which Dr. John Ouiteras, representing
the Cuban Junta, and E. Frank Carson,
of this city, sought to enlist the ser
vices of the Red Cross society in behalf
of the 'sick and wounded soldiers of the
opposing armies In Cuba.
Dr. J. Wilk O'Neil, secretary of tha
meeting, suggested that the appeal for
aid was out of place, as the. Pennsyl
vania association did not have a right
to extend operations beyond the borders
of the state, and that any help desired
for Cuba would come under the direc
tion of the International society.
However all the members present as
sured Dr. Ouiteras and Mr. Carson of
their willingness to co-operate In secur
ing as prompt action as possible, and
as a result of the meetlns some more
definite action will no doubt be taken
shortly. Some one asked If Spain
might not object to the Red Cross so
ciety sending representative! to her
rebellious province. Dr. O'Neill re
plied: "Spain has signed the Geneva treaty,
agreeing with the rest of the civilized
world to welcome the Red Cross so
ciety In its mission of mercy wherever
required, and every nation of the world
has a right to pour a perfect deluge of
Red Cross assistance into the island.
Spain would not dare to object." -

NEW TARIFF BILL.
"A moderate measure" is the charac
terization which leading Republicans
of the house elve to the new tariff bill
which It Is proposed to frame this
winter in anticipation of an extra ses
sion of congress. It is explained that
what Is desired. Is a bill which will
provide a sulllclent revenue to cover the
deficit now existing, furnishing proper
protection to home Industries. It Is
pointed out that conditions have con
siderably changed since what Is known
as the McKinley bill became a law and
that rates of duty that were justified
then are unnecessary at present. It Is
stated, for example, that the tin plato
Industry, which was enormously stimu
lated by the duty of two cents a pound
Imposed In the McKinley law. Is now
so well established that a return to the
former rate Is unnecessary. The sugar
schedule promises to cause more em
barrassment than any other In the bill.
Some of the Republican members of the
committee on ways and means, snys
that three states which produce sugar
Louisiana, Texas and Nebraska
gave their vote last month to Mr. Bry
an, and this in connection with the
position which the members of the con
gress lrom Louisiana and Texas have
always taken with respect to the tur
irl',' vill be. It is asserted, as strong
inllticiice against protecting this indus
try any further than the necessities of
the case require.
PROTECTION TO WOOL.
The agricultural schedule will prob
ably be fixed at the former rate of du
ty, twhile the woolen schedule. It Is
said, will receive sulllclent protection to
satisfy the manufacturers. The cotton
and steel and iron schedules are not
likely to be changed. TJhe present ad
vulorem' system will be changed to a
system of specific duties.
The bill, It Is said, will contain a
provision that goods In bonds will,
when taken out, pay the rate duty in
force and not the lower rate which
they were originally brought to th's
country. An arrangement will be made
whereby dates will be assigned to cer
tain Interests to be heard so that there
may be some systematic method of
giving the hearing without embarrass
ment. The date upon which the hear
ings will begin will be made public
when the full committee meets.

accepted It. I don't see why Fitzsim
mons don't."
"We are sure of the money out there
and besides, we can fight Inside of four
or six weeks. If we accept Stuart's lf
fer. then we will have to go down south,
und might possibly be chased all
around the country for several weeks
and not fisiht after all.
"If Fitzsimmons will only accept
that offer of $15,000 In Sun Francisco, I
will agree to stop him In fifteen rounds,
and If I should fail I will turn over the
entire purse to him."
"Uut suppose he won't fight for a lim
ited number of rounds?"
"Then I will have to fight him to a
finish," replied Corbett, "but I think
the San Francisco offer is an excellent
one and If Fitzsimmons will only ac
cept I will pack up my trunk imme
diately and start west. I shall consider
Stuart's offer and will give him a de
cided answer In a few days."

HALE BREAKS RECORDS.
Tbe Leader In the Bicycle Race Also
Forces tbe Other Riders to Lower
the Schedule at Madison Square.
New York, Dec. 11. One minute after
8 o'clock tonight, Teddy Hale, the Irish
hero of the six days' bicycle race at
Madison Square garden, passed the
previous record for six days made by
Shock in 181)3 1,600 miles by four laps,
and hud twenty-five hours, fifty-nine
minutes to the good. He not only
broke the records himself, but forced
the six men following on his tracks to
break the previous best for 116 hours
1,457 miles, eight laps. Hule was
sprinting miles in 2.24 at 7 o'clock this
evening and appeared so fresh and well
that he is looked upon as the winner
of the contest. The battle for second
honors was waged again today between
Forster and Rice. At noon the Dutch
man had a bit the best of the Wilkes
Barre boy and led him by a few miles,
but later on Rice had retained the
leud. For a time It looked as If Rice's
weakened frame would scarcely sup
port his wonderful pluck. He wu.4
very wenk at times and the nervous
strain was makin? him irritable. Mo
was poorly handled up to lust night
when "ete" Golden, the old timer, who
was hired by the committee of Wilkes
Barre citizens to look after the man
who is tilling the Pennsylvania town
with admirution. Golden humored the
wenried and nervous rider In great
shape and in the evening Rice was go
ing much better, .though still a bit
weak. The pace was tolling oiiForstcr
also, and he went oft pretty frequent
ly during the day.
Reading, Schock, Smith, Taylor,
Moore and Pierce kept in about the
same relative position after the lead
ers all day. Ashlnger, Maddox and
Cassldy made the third division about
forty miles behind Pierce, while of the
other four Gannon and McLeod are
likely to get tho tail end of the eleven
prizes If they keep on at the same rate.
A tremendous burst of applause
greeted Hale when the announcement
was made at 8 o'clock that he had
