Preliminaries Settled at the Extra Session. }) Both Houses Will Promptly Get Down to Business. A Number of Important Subjects to Ba Legislated ou Besides the Tariff. The Hawaiian Question Will Come Dp Karly. By the Associated Press. Washington, Dec. S. — The extra session disposed ol ail the preliminaries generally necessary at tbe opening ol a long session, consequently there will be none of tbe usual reasons why congress may not begin business promptly upon convening tomorrow. Between 50 and 60 bills and resolutions are on tbe senate calendar, so it can begin legislating immediately alter the receipt of tbe president's message. There are a few bills of general importance, such as tbe federal elections bill; the bill reported by Voorhees to increase tbe circulation of notes of national banks; Morgan's concurrent .solution for tbe appoint ment of a joint committee to consider financial questions; Stewart's resolu tions, first, for a committee to inquire if any senators are stockholders in national banks; second, relating to tbe co-ordinate department of tbe govern ment; Peffer'a resolution concerning interstate commerce; and Palmer's, re garding pensions to non-residents. It is considered probable that none of these will receive as much attention as tbe Hawaiian question, which is not now before tbe senate in any shape, but which is almost sure to be brought before it in some way before tbe close of tbe week. There will probably be very little business attempted tomorrow beyond the receipt of the president's message. Probably the senate will adjourn Thurs day until Monday of next week. In the house, as coon aB the docks are cleared, the tariff will have tbe right of way. The extraordinary session showed tbe purpose not only of eliminating the silver question, but advancing the tariff ptoblem four months on tbe road of so lution. Tbe Wilson bill will be intro duced in the bouse tbe latter part of the week, probably Thursday. The estimates of the revenue to be de rived from the ranll' bill are completed and will be submitted tomorrow. They show tbat the deficit in revenues will be increased to $60,000,000 which must be raised from increased internal revenue taxes or an income tax. Although at one time last week it was practically decided to impose a tax on tbe incomes of corporations and lega cies, it is now almost certain tbat a tax on incomes over $5000 will be recom mended. It may be that the Hawaiian affair will cut come figure in the proceedings. A resolution calling for the papers in the caße is almost sure to be intro duced, and might come up in still another way if tbe news from Hawaii expected via Auckland, December 7th, ehould be of a sensational nature. Although the extra cession succeeded in getting tbe Chinese question out of tbe way for six months at least, by ex tending tbe period of registration tbat length of time, it promises to bob up again. It is broadly hinted that tbe Chinese do not intend to register now eny more than before the extension of the law. INTERSTATE COUUEBOI, What the Commissioners Raoommend In Their Annual Report. Washington, Dec. 3.—The report of the interstate commerce commission pays special attention to court decisions wherein the word "line" ie given in a different meaning from that held by the commission, which maintains that "line" means a physical line; tbe track of one or more railroad, and a line may be extended over other roads by simply connecting tbe tracks. A recommendation is made for an amendment so as to bring water carriers under tbe law. Tbe commission recommends addi tional legislation on the following sub jects : With respect to proceedings to enforce tbe lawful orders of tbe com mission ; give tbe legislative construc tion of the word "line" in the statute; provide for establishing through routes and joint through rates; give the com mission power to prescribe minimum as well as maximum rates to competitive points; provide for the adoption of a uniform freight classification ; make cor porations subject to tbe act liablo to indictment for violations oi the law; provide a penalty for failure on tbe part of carriers to file tbeir annual reports, witbin tbe specified time.

Since the visit of the Kearsarge in 1875 and the Atlanta in October, there have been no United Statea war veseels in the Atlan tic porta of Costa Rica. Hence the con clusion that Mr. Cleveland is more in timately acquainted with affairs than appears on the surface. Tho political situation is critical.

MR, ECKELS' FIGURES. ANNUAL REPORT OP THE COMP TROLLER OP CURRENCY. Operations of National Banks Daring the I.ant Fiscal rear—The Issuing of Clearing Hnuse Certifi cates Defended. Washinoton, Dec. 3. —The annual re port of the comptroller of the currency ahows that 3796 national banka were in operation at tbe close of the fiec.nl year. Their capital stock, $605,658,120, was hold by 300,000 stockholders. The total resources of the banka were $3,109,563, 284; total circulation, $209,311,993, a net increase during the year of $36,888,962. Dnring the year 119 banks were or ganized with a capital stock of $11,230, 000 ; 44 in tho eastern states, capital, $5,136,000; 41 west of tho Mississippi river, capital $2,840,000; 24 in the cen tral and southern states, capital $3,755, 000. Banks suspended, 158; capital, $30, 300,000. Thirty-six resumed, capital, $18,206,000 and 65 passed into the handB of receivers; capital, $10,885,090. At tbe close of the year seven remained in charge of examiners pending resump tion. Tbe shrinkage in liabilities during the year was $400,531,613, caused by a decrease in capital stock. $8,022,677 ; in dividual deposits, $314,21)8,653; banks and bankers deposits, $181,338,125; de crease in resources, $465,427,144 Caoh of all kinds increased $30,968 606, in cluding $8,410,315 in gold. The United States bonds held for all purposes in creased $40,000,000. The comptroller followed tb' policy of giving all suspended banka a oppor tunity to resume business with tbe moat satisfactory results. He defends tbe policy of issuing clear ing house certificates by banka laet sum mer, aa preventing an acute panic and tending to restore public confidence. He recommends amendments to the law as follows: Every bank may issue circulating notes equal to the par value of the bonds deposited. Reduce to % per cent per annum the tax on circulation. The comptroller, with the approval of the secretary of the treasury, shall be empowered to remove bank officers and directors for violation of the law. No executive officer or bank employee shall be permitted to borrow a bank's funds, except on tbe approval of the board of directors. Bank examiners shall be required to take the oath of office and file such a bond as the comptroller may require. The comptroller shall be authorized to appoint, with the approval oi the secretary of the treasury, two general examiners to assist and supervise the various examiners. He is of tbe opinion that, apart from the above.no radical change in the pro visions of tbe present law should be made. In view of tho fact there is a very great abundance of unemployed cur rency iu the country, it would seem, that whatever needs appeared some months since for the enlargement to any marked extent of the circulating medium, has now csased to exist, and therefore congress is afforded an oppor tunity of giving the whole subject care ful research and investigation; mean time it is respectfully suggested that congress, either through a monetary commission created for such purpose, or through appropriate committees, ob tain detailed information of the various systems of bank issues now in opera tion, and also such information as may be ascertained from skilled students ot finance and practical financiers, as may be able to formulate a system complete and harmonious.

Exciting Scenes in Trafalgar Square Yesterday. Reds Congregate In Great Numbers in Spite of the Police. Repeated Charges Made by the Officers and the Mobs Finally Dispersed. An Attempted Raid on Soot land Yard. By the Associated Press. London, Dec. 3. —Anarchy today bade defiance to the law, while the authori ties made an imposing display of police. It was known for some time that the anarchists intended to hold a meeting in Trafalgar square. Sir Henry Aa quith, home eecretary, ordered Sir Ed ward Bradford, chief commissioner of police, to prevent the meeting. Tbe anarchists announced their intention to hold the meeting in spite oi the author ities. The anarchists had on several previous Sundays held meetings on Tra falgar square, and had been tolerated by tbe authorities on the ground that tbey were not dangerous, and that thu mere fact of suppressing them would call undue attention to a class of peo ple whose vaporings were only dangerous when brought to public notice by an attempt to prevent them,but the attention of the house of commons was called to the fact that the anar chists' last meeting in Trafalgar square openly advocated the policy of blood and dynamite and held up for glorifica tion the dynamite outrages at Barcelona, Marseilles and other places. Tbe re sult waa that the home secretary did not dare to allow any further rope to the "rede" of London, and tbe police thie afternoon mustered a Btrong force about Trafalgar square, while reserves were stationed in Regent etreet, Waterloo place. Charing cross road, Northumber land avenue and on tbe embankment. The anarchists began to muster at 3 o'clock! The display of force caused many thousands to flock to the neigh borhood. One male and one female an archist mixed among tbe people as sembled about the square and began hawking anarchist literature which found ready sale among the people. Copiea of the Commonwealth, tbe organ of the anarcbiats of London, found a j ready sale, its frontispiece being an il- 1 I lustration of labor ac Samßon pulling down the pillars of the church and etate. It also contained an article headed "Bombs" in which the writer welcomed the Barcelona bomb outrage aa a "great and good act." Anarchist and socialist manifestos were also dis tributed broadcaet among the crowds. Gradually the number of anarchists and socialists was bo augmented that they gained courage enough to push towards the center of tbe square. Finally a large and excited crowd of anarchists and socialists collected inside the square. The police were compelled to tell the rede to move on. This caused the an archists to wave their hats and hoot the police, while come spectators cheered and othere hisßed. At exactly 10 minutes past 3 a num ber of anarchists made a rush for the steps at the foot of tbe Gordon etatue, and one immediately began to make a wild address to those who bad rushed up to the steps with him, but the an archist orator had hardly uttered hie first sentence before a number of police men charged up to the spot and dis lodged the reds from the steps. The attempt ot the anarchists to hold this meeting was followed by similar attempte, which resulted in a number of lively brushes with the police. Dur ing the dispersing of these anarchist groups a number of reds were pretty roughly handled by policemen, who threw them from tbe steps. Eventually the anarchists on the square became so demonstrative that a further detach ment of 50 policemen was sent to tbe square. Suddenly an anarchist rushed through the lines of police, scaled a monument, and began to address the crowd around him, but bad only uttered a few words when a policeman seized and threw him bodily into the crowd. As the anarchist still tried to speak, he was seized by two policemen and bustled off to tbe station, followed by a shouting crowd. Shortly before 3:30 a further detach ment of mounted police was summoned to Trafalgar rquaie. and after drawing up in line, charged upon the mob, scat tering them iv all directions, after which the horsemen took np a position ou the south aide, facing the sqii..'" ami police on foot began to disperse the tnuij, .. made but slight resistance. About 4:30 a large body of anarchists made a rush down Parliament street, with the intention of reaching Scotland yard; the headquarters of the police were said to have been left with only a small guard oi policemon, but the super intendent of n division of policemen prompt.y dispatched a ationg force of mounted and foot, police to Scotland yard, the horsemen reaching the point before the anarchists, and with the as sistance of the police on foot the mob was scattered, after much scuffling. Iv other parta of Trafalgar square the police bad their hands full keeping the crowds in movement. Additional rein forcemente of mounted police were sent for and made several charges down Northumberland avenue, past the Vie toria hotel and Grand hotel. Mounted police also charged through Pall Mail, driving the anarchists before them. The police made a number of arrests, the prisoners being followed to the station by angry and excited crowda of anar chists, who loudly cursed the home secretary, Henry Afquith. Death or Col. .1.

THE RELATIONS STRAINED. A Report That the TCurtembnrg's Rep resentatives May Resign. London, Dec. 2.—A Berlin dispatch to the News says thst it iB reported from Stuttgart that the relations between Wurtemburg and the empire have been strained since last summer, when the Wurtemburg government yielded to the urgings of in diet, abandoned its man euvers, owing to the scarcity of fodder. This wbb taken amiss iv military quart ers at Berlin, and it was believed that the Wurteiabtiiggovernment had inthis matter submitted to the dictation of the democrats in diet; also stated that Emperor William, during ins last visit to Stuttgart, showed displeasure at thie action of the Wurtemburg government, and hie comments on the Wurtemburg army corps were not Mattering. He blamed the leadership, in consequence of which the resignations of Commander General Woelcker and the Wurtemburg minister of war are expected, and per haps the premier may retire. It is an open secret that Wurtemburg opposes the wine tax. BRAZILIAN ADVICES. President Peixoto In Good Health—Es cape ot the Aciuldaban. Paris, Dec. 8.—An agent of tbe Bra zilian government in thia city received the following dispatch from Rio de Janeiro Saturday afternoon: "Presi dent Peixoto ia in good health. The capture of Coritiba ia false. The whole etate of Parana is tranquil. The Aquid iban succeeded in escaping, owing to tbe fact that a spy indicated to tbe rebel admiral tbe location of tbe gov ernment torpedoes. Mello feared the arrival of Presidont Peixoto's squadron." THE LEHIGH STRIKERS. CHIEF ARTHUR TAKES A HAND IN THE DIFFICULTY. Tba Striker*' Banks Augmented—ir a Compromise Is Not Beached Soon The Jersey Central Will Be Tied Up. Philadelphia, Dec. 3.—M. P. Arthur, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Lo comotive Engineers, arrived thiß even ing from Cleveland. He and Chairman Clark had a long interview, in which the latter outlined the work in hand and plans for the future conduct of the Lehigh valley strike. Arthur said : "The work of my representative, Mr. Young, has been satisfactory to me in thie fight and I will in no wise interfere j with his plans. He io simply able to conduct the affairs of the engineers in thiß question." "Will you seek an audience with Pres dent Wilbur?" "No; the men who had a right to such an audience have been refused. I will certainly not attempt to see him. I will be in tbe east for a short time and if he desires to see me be will have to send word to that effect." Arthur refused at thie time to further discuss tbe strike situation. Young hgß left Bethlehem and will meet bim here tonight. The Lehigh Valley has issued a notice in which ia offered a reward for the arrest and conviction of the men who cut the freight train at White Haven. The issuance of such a notice had the •tt'eot of making Chairman Clark very angry. He said the company ehould be certain that tbe train bad been bo cut before its officials made euch grave charges. Chi»f Arthur will leave tomorrow morning for Wilkeabarre, from which point the strike will hereafter be con ducted. Clark confirms the report that a conference between the Jersey Cen tral and Lehigh Valley grievance com mittees will be held in Bethlehem to morrow, when another effort will be made to have President Wilbur receive the strikers' committee, failing in which a Btrike may be ordered on the Jersey Central. Wilkesbabrk, Pa., Dec. 3.—The Le 'high valley strikers had a mammoth meeting at Music hall thiß afternoon. L. S. Coffin, ex-railroad commissioner ol lowa, was elected temporary chairman and W. L. Wilkinson, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, perma nent chairman. Coffin made an earnest pica for the observance of tbe Babbath among railroad men. He said no rail road should insist on its employees working 365 days in the year, and the day was coming when the God-fearing people of this country will demand that railway employees be given rest on the Bahbata day. Allbntown, Dec. 3. —Recorder Steph ens aud hia clerk were busy all day re cording the commissions and certificates of 25 newly appointed Bpecial police for Lehigh Valley.

VAN ALEN BACKS DOWN. He Doesn't Want the Italian Ambassadorship. His Resignation in the Hands of the President. Cleveland Insists on His Retaining tlie Appointment The Appointee Yields to Public Senti ment and Decides to Htaud From Coder—That 550.000 Contribntlon. By the Associated Presa. Washington, Dec. 3. —J. J. Van Alen will not go to Italy ac United States am basse dor. He respectfully declines to accept the appointment, and in spite of the president's request tbat he recon sider this determination, he firmly de clines. The correspondence was made public. Under date of Newport, Novem ber 20th, Van Alen writes Secretary Uresham acknowledging the great honor conferred, but after Berioua and careful reflection decides not to accept. In hie letter Van Alen refers to the publio charge that he received the appoint ment in return for a $50,000 contribu tion to the Democratic campaign fund. He does not deny having contributed, not $50,000, but a considerable sum of money, but always insisted tbat it cre ated no obligation whatever to him. He feels confident tbat President Cleveland, who waa kind enough to cay to the Rhode Island Democrats that his per sonal acquaintance enabled him to con sider the appointment solely on personal merits, will bear him out in this state ment. Under date of November 22 J the pres* ident writes as follows: Hon. J. J. Alen: My Dear Sir—The secretary of state haa submitted to me your letter of the 20th instant, in which you tender your resignation aB ambassador to Italy. I hasten to express my earnest wish that you will reconsider thiß conclusion. The Bentimentß contained in your letter do credit to your conscience and Ameri canism, but yon must allow me to dis sent from their application in this case. I did not select you for nomination to tbe Italian mission without satisfying myself of your entire fitness for the place. I am now better convinced ot your fitness than ever. You know, and I know, that all the malignant criticism that has been indulged in regarding this appointment haa no justification, and that decent people who have doubt ed its propriety have been misled or have missed ths actual considerations npon which it rests. We ehould not yield to the noise and clamor which have arisen frcm those conditions. My personal preference should enter very slightly into your final determination, but so far aa I have euch preference it is that you accept the honorable effice con ferred upon you, and vindicate by the discharge of its duties the wisdom aud propriety of your selection. Awaiting your early reply, I am, youra sincerely, Ghover Cleveland. November 26th Van Alen writes from Newport, thanking the president for tbe very kind and flattering sentiment expressed, but stating that, for the rea son already given in hi* former letter, and after long and serious consideration, feels he cannot accept the appointment. Van Alen concludes his letter ac follows: "My only regret in this decision, which ' I must beg you to coneider final, is that it is contrary to the personal preference which you bo kindly express. Bnt I cannot think it would be advisable for me to invite further misrepresentation! by taking advantage of your genorosity. Again thanking you for your most gra cious words, and with the earnest hope for a continuance of the successes which have already marked your second ad ministration, I beg to remain, etc." THE HAWAIIAN SITUATION. Some Views Expressed on the ;81tuat*on by Prominent Men. New York, Dec. 3.—The "Hawaiian situation," ia the auhject of an import ant symposium in the December num ber of the North American Review. Eugene Tyler Chamberlain contributes an article entitled "Invasion of Hawaii" in which he maintains the broad princi ples laid down in Daniel Webster's in structions to the United States repre sentative at Honolulu in 1851, were the rule of conduct of tbe government in ita relation with the government of Hawaii up to January 16, 1893. Honor able William M. Springer in an article entitled "Our Pre*en' Duty," contends the only honorable course open to the United States is to restore the queen to the throne, inasmuch as sne was dis placed only by a superior force of Amer ican trooDS. New York, Dec. 3.—The Hawaiian eymjioßium of ex-Minieter Stevens makea a powerful plea for annexation. The right solution to the question now before the American people, he says, will deeply arfeu. the moral standing of the United States before tbe world. The Hawaiian islands have been made what they are by Americana. A Oood Woman Uone. Sonoma. Cal., Dec. 3. —Mrs. Robert Johnson died of pneumonia at her hoa.e at Buena Viata Park this morning.
