Washington, February 10.' ? This
afternoon's developments in the
Hawaiian natter bare been important
To-night the commissioners from the
islands are hopeful, if not confident,
that to-morrow will see the practical,
if not formal, conclusion of their la
bors. * * j.
This afternoon after office hours
Secretary Foster held a conference
with t^ie comnagBioners at the State
department, which lasted until 6
o'clock. The commissioners were in
formed that arrangements had been
made for their reception by President
Harrison to-morrow, proably at noon.
This announcement, of course, gave
them great pleasure, as it marked the
determination of the Administration
to recognize them officially and to en
ter upon formal negotiations regard
ing the object of tl&ir mission. In
previous conferences the whole situa
tion has been^considered orally with
only memoranda in writing of the
points J to be covered.
The officials of the Stat$ depart
ment and the commissioners have pre
pared from these the texts, of agree
ments which may be exchanged to.
morrow. ?hat there is practical uni
formity in these documents is shown
By the statement of one of the . Haw- 1
aiians this evening that he hoped to
get thro&gh with their business to
morrow. The probabilities upon this
latter point, however, are that he is
too sanguine, for it is not considered
likely that any determination will be
reached by this Government until the
representatives of the deposedf Queen
shall have presented their side of the
case. This, of course, cannot be done
before the latter part of next week., j
A published interview witfi Paul
Neumari, the Queen's commissioner to
the United States, gave the represent
atives of the Provisional Government
much satisfaction. uIt disposes of the
sentimental side of the question/' said
one of therj this morning, "of which
the opponents of annexation made so
nkich. According to 'Neuman he
bears an agreement prepared in trip
licate, in which the Queen proposes to
sell the islands to the United States.
We propose to give them to this
country, but, the end once attained,
the natives will be in exactly the same
position whichever propositions ? ac

pleasant incident took place upon the
occasion of the discharge of the jurors

Columbia* Feb. 8. ? The following
circular letters from the executive de
partment of the State; the letters of
the railroad attorneys and the per
> sonal statements of Gov Tillman, and
the newspaper comments, etc., give to
some extent the present situation of
the railroad tax controversy that is
going on between the State, the rail
roads and the United States Court:

execution for 91 and 92 is -less than

from you by force, then submit to
arrest. We will take the case to the
United States Supreme Court -on
habeas corpus proceedings and make
this federal judge- obey the decree of
that court"
TILLMAN BREATHES DEFIANCE.
When the Governor's office was
rvisited yesterday tbrere was a council
of war in progress in the executive
chamber, attended by the Governor,
the Attorney General, the Assistant
Attorney General and the chief clerk
of th^ ^GomptrolIer's office. This last
ed along time, and when it was ovjer
many big law books had to be remov
ed. The Governor was Visited soon
after, and the following * interview
may be interesting: jr
Governor Tillman said: "We pro
pose to see that South Carolina -Col
lects her taxes. Our present purpose j
is to hold all the property we .have
levied on at all hazards, and let'Judge
Simonton do his worst. T have .tele
graphed the county officials to this
effect Judge Simonton, we consider,
is. in contempt of the State govern
ment, and 'we want him to act so we
can get the case to the Supreme Court
at Washington as soon as possible to
prove this contempt I think we can
prove that , he is j# contempt
"We want hijpto arrest our sheriffs
so that we can get to the Sixpreme
Court at Washington on habeas
corpus proceedings, so that it we are
wrong, and the State can't collect, the
sooner we know it the better.
"I have telegraphed to the- sheriffs
to hold the fort at all hazards and not
surrender the property. In our be
lief the State has certain rights, and
we want to make the test as soon as
possible and with as little trouble as
possible. \
"We are not going JxMriake any
additional levies till Judge Simonton
renders his decision*. * andlLall subse
quent movements depend on^t4^ ac
tion on the 20th.
"Judge Simonton has just been told
by the United States . Supreme Court
that he has no jurisdiction in any
cases where the amount involved is
not $2,000, so we will resist this tyran
ny or ignorance, whichever it may be,
and will endeavor to Bring the matter
ti)t a tocus, and have our rights
established."
"the attention of the Governor was
ealled to the fact that the railroads
were now basing this action in the
United States Court on the fact that
they were in the hands of receJffcw
appointed by the United States Court
He said: "We will whip him on
that, too (referring to Judge Simon
ton). All we want him to do is to
take hold, and I will take a bigger
hold and caCrry him into -the United
States Supreme Court - If he don't
arrest our officers we will fevy on
every road in the State. All we want
if to get the case in the United States
Siforeme Court as quick as possible,
and^we do not intend the case to hang
in the District Courts for twelve
months and go through a regular
docket We are determined to see
the matter through to the end>"^
In conclusion the Governor said:
"I am the only one that is in contempt
of the court I really wish that they
would arrest me. I issued the orders
to the sheriffs and treasurer to proceed
with the tevies. I wish they would
pull me. Hie sheriffs were merely
acting under my instructions, and
obeying the State laws which prescribe
their duties."

PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT OFFERED.
Yesterday Judge Cothrttn telegraphed
from Charleston to Attorney General
Townsend:
"I am informed that the levies
made by sheriffs on the property of
tbfc Richmond and Danville Railroad
for taxes has not been released upon
the service of Judge Simonton's
orders. Our desire is to avoidall
.^possible conflict or. friction in this
matter, which is instituted solely for
the purpose of settling a legal right
in a legal way. Superintendent Mc
Bee advises me that great injury has
already been done in the blocking of
trains and suspension of business.
Kindly advise me if you approve the
sheriffs' action in tins behalf, or will
you direct the release of the levies?

It ties been impressible to ascertain
what reply, if any^ was sent to this
offeri of the - lading eounselofthe

that the sheriff of Aiken had levied
on its property and refused to give it

care to say anything more than that
the property would be held and would

P. ?ML J| suftgard is seriously ill
at his hoe & in Esplanade street.
Heart disease is the trouble, abd whale
he-was reported somewhat better at
2.45 this morning the complaint is
dangerous, especially to a man of the
General's age. Yesterday he was un
able to attend to- his official dudes,
and at alate hour last night rumors of
his death were prevalent which, how
ever, were without foundation.
NO IMMEDIATE DANGER.
,Gen Beauregard, who was reported
very ill last night, is in no-vimmediate
danger. He is suffering front* *ttg?.ra
vated heart disease, brought on by
excessive smoking. I)octors are hope
ful of his recovery, but heart disease
will be a constant menace.

HOKE 8MlTH's VAST AMBITION.
Accompanying the positive" an
nouncement that Judge Gresham, of ]
Illinois, is to be Secretary of State
comes the report that Jlr Cleveland
has decided to appoint Mr Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, Secretary of the
Interior. I made every eflbrt to trace
the rumor to a reliable source, but
without success. Mr Smith's sudden
visit to Washington last Wednesday
and his hurried conference with Don
M. Dickinson is/probably the founda
tion for the report. It "has been un
derstood .here that Mr Smith desired
to be Attorney General, and the an
nouncement that he has been slated
for the interior department occasions
much surprise. Those wlio know Mr
Smith say he is qualified tfr filT ac
ceptably any position under Mr
Cleveland's Administration.
ILW FKELING AROUSED BY THE <iRES
HAM 8TORY.
There is considerable wild and ill
tempered criticism among- the v South
ern and Western Democrats in Con
gress over the announcemeutof Judge .

State. The Illinois Congressmen are
especially severe in their denuncia
tion of the appointment because they
wanted William R. Morrison ohosen
to represent their State in
Senator Voorbees
Hoi man, Bynum
.diana commend 'appointment as :
sagacious and strong from every point J
of view. They claim that Judge '
Gresham has a large following in the !
West, who made it possible Tor Mr t
Cleveland to carry Illinois and Wist
consin. Not one word is said against
Judge Gresbam's ability, hut the
