As soon as he could I report by wire to Washington, a dis- | patch was received from that city by ' the commander of the cruiser Mohican, ’ which was folk wed by a great bustle on that vessel and preparations for instant departure. The C; rwin's officers were silent as the grave. But it is surmised that the gravest condition exists at Honolulu. It is even hinted that there .has been collision between United States and provisional government forces, with bloodshed. and that the Corwins commander has on board prisoners. No one was allowed to board her, and for several hours telegrams flew thick and fast to and from Washington. London advices say the severe cold continues throughout Great Britain, in many places the thermometer registering the lowest point known. While the lowest reported temperature is 5 t > 10 above, it involves as much suffering as would a temperature 20 degree-; below zero in the United States. The people are entirely unprepared for such a terribly cold wave, and the n^u't is that the suffering among th ■ poor is intense. Many cases of death irom exposure are already reported and outdoor w >rk has been entirely suspended.

the murder, Sunday night, of Henry Saner’s entire family, living about three miles from the city. Henry Saner, wife and one son composed the family. Saner and his wife are dead and the son missing. Outside of the house were pools of blood, and the stock of Saner’s gun was lying in the kitchen with the barrel bent out of shape. The clothes were partially burned off and the faces of both more or less burned. The barn is burned with its contents, being full of hay. Three horses and four or five head of cattle perished. The evident purpose was to burn the house, as the 1 victims we; e saturated with oil. But I neighbors came in time to save the house.

In a fierce whirlwind of flame that for a time threatened to destroy all the huge buildings that graced the World's Fair, the music hall and casino. with thee nneet ing arches of the peristvie and the huge manufactures and liberal arts building, were burned i ■ Monday night. For a time it seemed j ' as if it would be impossible to save the ; Mines. Horticulture, or Agriculture j Buildings, and it was only by desperate i efforts of the firemen that the flames were checked. As it was they were not subdued until damage aggregating ever $l,O iO.OOO had been done. The life of ore fireman was also sacrificed and one fireman, one employe of the French section of the Horticultural Building and a teamster were injured. The blaze is believed, to have been started by tramps camping out in one of the buildings, who lighted kindling to keep warm. Roughly estimated, when the breathing spell came, it is claimed that the Uss en buildings will reach about SBOO,OOO, while the estimate of losses on the exhibits cannot be accurately formed until the eases containing the stored goods can be examined. The lines insurance carried are varied. Vast quantities of exhibits were carried out, but hundreds i f thousands of dollars' w rth burned. — Dale Still in l o ver.

FROM WASHINGTON. WILSON TARIFF BILL AND THE PROPOSED BOND ISSUE. Chief Topics at the National CapitalFree Stiver People Against Bonds—lt Is Believed the Wilson Kill Will Become a Law. Bones of Contention. Washington correspondence:

UT^HE two c’ lief topics I of discussion at the JL capital are the 5 Wilson tariff bill

and the proposed, bond issue. The free silver people are decidedly against any issue of bonds, taking the position that all > that is neede l is a ^plentiful coinage of sthe white metal nd its use as money. The Texas -delegation will lie l&solidly against any ‘issue of bonds. Representative Me-

i -

Millin, of Tennessee, I elieves a measure should at once b • passed providing for the use of the teignior- . a^^^^^^^^sißer bullion. This

thinks, and possibly obviate the necessity of issuing bonds. It has been asserted that until the silver bullion now in the treasuiy is coined there can be no seigniorage, but the men who favor its use argue that when it is knotvn the bullion will coin fifty million dollars more than was paid for it there can be no reason to ■ hesitating about it. They do not believe it necessary to coin the seigniorage, but that certificates may lx? issued against it. The Wilson Bill. As t > the Wilson tariff bill, the general opinion is that it will pull through l in some shape or other. Representative Tarnsey, a member of the Ways and Mean- Committee, who has just returned from his home in Missouri, -ays he found no one among his constituents dissatisfied with . the tariff bill. Representative Hayes, of lowa, says the bill will becon ea law in time, and that all differences about it will be adjusted within the party. so that there will be no fatal break over it. Representative Stevens, of Massachusetts, who is a member of the Ways and Means Committee, and an extensive woolen manufacturer, says the bill will pass the House unchanged, and that whatever changes are made b?fo e the mea ure becomes a law will be made in the Senate. Representative Cousins of lowa, on the other hand, viewing the situation from a Republican standpoint, says that if all the Democratic members of the House that he has heard express themselv s against the bill actually vote as they talk now, the bill will cetainly be I eaten in the House, to say nothing of the Senate where its chances are at least doubtful. However, he says, i is pretty hard to get a Dem crat to kick out of the party traces, so you cannot just tiguie on tesults when Democratic b Iting becomes an essential element in the calculation. Routine Since the reassembling of Congress after the holidays but 11:tie Las been done. Filibustering on tne Hawaiian matter and the Wilson tariff bill has been the rule in both houses. It has been almost impossible to accomplish anything more than the confirmation of appointments.
