ml HAWAIIAN TREATY

It Is Soon to Be Sent to the United
States Senate.

 

ANNEXATION IS ASSURED.

'Enough Senators Favor Taking the Little
Republic In to Make. the Ratification
of the Treaty Certain—The Doo-

umcnt Already Drawn. ‘

Washington, June 15.——A treaty for
the annexation of Hawaii to the Unit-
ed States will be sent to the senate soon
after the return of the president, unless
present plans are altered. The treaty
has been written and all its details
were fully agreed upon before the pres-
ident and Secretary Sherman left for
the south. There is no doubt, it is
said, of the president’s acquiescence in
the terms of the treaty, for the reason
that he was made fully aware of them
before he left.

The treaty is on the general lines of

the treaty negotiated during the ad-
ministration of President Harrison and
withdrawn by President Cleveland. It
provides for annexation without the

exaction of conditions on the part of,

the Hawaiians as to the form of gov-
ernment to be vouchsafed to Hawaii,
leaving that question to be entirely dis—
posed of by the government of the
United States.

The United States will agree, how-
ever, to assume thedebt of the present
Hawaiian government, but will come
into possession of all the Hawaiian
crown lands and other possessions.

To Follow the Tarifl' Bill.

Several senators have received defi-
nite information concerning the exist-
ence of the treaty, and are well ac-
quainted with its terms, though they
refuse to discuss the matter, having re-
ceived the information in confidence.
The knowledge of the existence of the
treaty has_been communicated to mem—
bers of the committee on foreign rela-
tions and also to members of the finance
committee. In the Republican caucuses
the subject of the treaty had been hint-
ed at, but in rather a vague manner.
Senators asserted that there were in
progress negotiations looking to the an-
nexation, but they would not aver that
they knew a treaty had been drawn,
nor would they give any assurances
that it would soon be sent to the senate.
In private conversation with other sen—
ators, however, they gave information
that was definite enough to satisfy
those with whom they talked that the
treaty was not only to be sent in, but
that it was now already drawn and only
awaiting the signatures of the officers
of the two governments to complete it.
It is known that the approval of the
committee on foreign relations is as-
sured, as eight members of the commit~
tee have approved its terms. This will
enable the committee to speedily report
the treaty to the senate, so that it may
be taken up immediately after the tariff
bill is' disposed of.

Ratification Quite Certain.

The senate has been canvassed to a
certain extent by senators favoring anu
nexation. and while there are some
senators who are noncommittal, the
supporters of the proposition say they
believe that they can count upon the
two-thirds vote necessary to secure rat-
ification. The special friends of the
president about the senate say that the
treaty has been made in accordance
with his views, and that it would have
been sent in some time ago but for his
exactions as to details.

Monster Petition For Cuba.

Washington, June 15.—In the area in
front of the speaker’s rostrum when
the house met was a. monster petition
appealing to congress to recognize the
Cuban insurgents as belligerents. It
contained over 6,000,000 signatures. The
petition was wound about the hub of a
wheel framed so as to allow it to freely
revolve. It had been in circulation
throughout the United States for about
six months, and was sent to Congress-
man Sulzer of New York for presenta-
tion to congress by Franz Mayer, a resi-
dent of his district.

Flower Sees Returning Prosperity.
New York, June 15.—Former Govern-
or Roswell P. Flower, who has been in
the west on a tour of inspection of sev-
eral railroads in which he is interested,
spoke of the signs~of brightening busi-
ness that he had observed while on his
trip. He visited the cities of Chicago
and Duluth and made an inspection of
the Minnesota iron mining interests.
Crops are looking well, and it appears
as if fair prices will be realized. The
movement of merchandise westward is
increasing and railroad earnings are
improving. The indications, he said,

point to a gradual business revival.

Unrequited Love Prompts Suicide.

Washington, June 15.—Edwin Doren,
son of the late Paymaster Doren of the
navy department, is confined in a
strong room at the Emergency hospital.
He is, said to be suffering from mental
aberration, caused by his infatuation
for a Washington young lady who re-
fused to return her love for his. This
has led the young man to make several
efforts to commit suicide, the last at—
tempt having been made Friday even-
ing, when, his friends say, he took 150
grains of chloral.

 

Tammany illay Run \Varing.

New York, June 15.—Colone1 George
E. Waring, commissioner of street
cleaning, may be the Tammany candi-
date for mayor. The Tammany leaders
have been speaking very kindly of the
colonel recently, and the colonel has
also intimated that he expected to re-
tain his place in the event of Tammany
winning at the polls.

 

A New Door Combination.

Chicago, June 15.——A new door com-
bination has been formed. It is known
as the Western Door company, with
$1,000,000 capital and headquarters at
Rock Island, Ills. Frank Adams of
Dubuque is the organizer. The plan is
to practically form a door trust on a
new plan.

The Late Baron de Hirsch’s Bounty.

New York, June 15.—Lucien Bonheur.
residing at 114 East Fifty-sixth street,
who returned from Paris on the St.
Paul, brought a $2,500 check for the
Montefiore home from the Baron de
Hirsch estate. It is to be an annual
subscription as long as the institution
lasts.

THE ELLIS ISLAND FIRE.

the Property Loss Is Now Estimated st
About $1,000,000.

New York, June 16.—No lives were
lost at the fire that broke. out on Ellis
Island at a very early hour today. That
was asserted positively at the barge of-
fice, where the immigrants were gath-
ered, counted, questioned as to their
friends and accounted for. One boy had
his foot crushed, and a woman was sent
to a hospital, ill with a fever. Battery
park looked as though the old Castle
Garden had been restored, but on the
island there was a scene of desolation.
The fire was out, and the fireboat New
York had been called off at 6 o’clock.
Over the island, however, a heavy
brown smoke hung, and several streams
of water were pouring on the burning
debris from tugs. Only three whole
buildings and a part of a fourth were
standing. The loss was about $1,000,000.
besides all the records of the immigra-
tion bureau.

The buildings that remained were the
great engine house and electric light
and steam plant and Dr. White’s house,
which is the old Mason mansion. The
lower portion of the hospital stands.
The walls were 31,12 feet thick. The up—
per structure of woodwork was entirely
destroyed.

Utterly gone are the main building,
which was 1:30 by 250 feet and three
stories high; the detention pen, which
was recently constructed; the restau—
rant, the laundry building, the record
building and storage house and the
new disinfecting plant. A conservative
estimate of the loss, including build-

 

‘lngs, supplies, railroad tickets and cash

is $1,000,000. Dr. Senner said he thought
the loss would be over that, and it
might be less.

The disinfecting plant, which was not
yet complete, had cost $25,000, expended
since Dr. Senner’s return from Europe,
and contained machinery recently
brought from Camp Lowe, at Fire Is—
land, which had cost $15,000, and was de—
stroyed. The southwest landing pier,
which had recently been reconstructed
and covered at great expense, was en-
tirely demolished. Only the lower old
stone portion of the hospital and the
lower portion of the detention pen re-
main. The morgue is a, mass of ruins.
Two months ago the government built
a crib, which was filled in at an ex—
pense of $25,000, and which added nine
acres to the original two acres of the
island. That is damaged. Felix Liv—
ingstone and Emile Schwab, the con-
cessionaries, place their loss of supplies
and equipment in the restaurant and
culinary department at $2,000. F. J.
Scully, who has the privilege of the
money exchange on the island, places
his loss at $10,000 in paper and gold, al-
though it may be less when the safe,
which has been discovered, is recovered
and opened. Thomas S. Faulkner,
agent of the Immigrant Clearing house
of the Trunk Line association, had two
safes, one of which was recovered this
morning. It had been burst open, appar-
ently, and about $300 was missing. The
safe under the ruins'contains several
thousand dollars' worth of tickets.

British Steamer Sultan Lost.

Colombo, Island of Ceylon, June 16.—
The British steamer Sultan, from Jid-
dah for Calcutta, with a large number
of Mecca pilgrims on board, has foun—
dered near the island of Socotra, 120
miles east of Cape Guardafui. the east-
ern extremity of Africa. Ten natives
were drowned, but all the crew of the
Sultan and the rest of the pilgrims
have been landed here.

The Trial of John S. Shriver.
W'ashington, June 16,—The trial of
John S. Shriver, correspondent of the
New York Mail and Express, the fourth
of the recusant witnesses before the
senate sugar investigating committee
of 1894, began before Judge Bradley to-
day. Practically the same ground was

gone over as in the previous trials.

McKinley Back In the thite House.

Washington, June 16,—The president
and party arrived today on schedule
time over the Southern railway from
Asheville, N. C;, and were driven at
once to the White House. Mr. McKin-
ley had not suffered at all from the fa-
tigue of the night’s journey and was in
his ofiice soon after his arrival.

India’s Great Earthquake.

Calcutta, June 15.——The disastrous ef-
fects of the earthquake which occurred
on Saturday are widespread, the seis—
mic disturbance having extended far
into the central provinces. The dam-
age to property is almost incalculable,
and the sufferings of the people are
terrible. At Manipur the ground open-
ed and a railway train on the Assam
and Bengal line was overturned. The
condition of the poor Europeans, Eura-
sians and natives is pitiful. Thousands
of them are homeless and starving.

IIurderer Scott Electrocuted.

Sing Sing, June 15.——-Murderer How-
ard A. Scott, a negro, ‘was executed at
11:08 a. m. Three shocks were admin—
istered. Scott was killed by the first.
The execution was a success. Scott
died bravely and without protest. He
killed his wife, Margaret, Oct. 26, 1896.

 

Banker Kelly's \Vidow Robbed.

Orange, N. J., June 15.—The summer
residence of Mrs. Eugene Kelly, widow
of the millionaire banker, in South
Orange, was entered by burglars and
robbed of clothing and jewelry to the
value of $1,000. The only clew to the
thieves is a battered black derby hat.

Accident to the Navahoe.

Newport, R. 1., June 15.——Royal Phelps
Carroll’s yacht Navahoe drifted into
the fishing schooner William Keene of
Gloucester, Mass, tearing the latter’s
foresails into shreds and damaging her
bulwarks. The Navahoe escaped with
a. bent anchor and slight injuries to her
bobstay.

Destructive Cloudburst.

Franklin, Pa., June 15.——A cloudburst
in an oilfield two miles from this city
has caused such a rise in Two-Mile run
that ten derricks have been washed
out. Two of them were carried" directly
across the Lake Shore railroad tracks

Senator Allen Thinks That the Courts
Have the Power.

MR. PETTIGREW’S ODD PLAN.

He Proposes That All Articles on the
Dutiable List the Subject of 8-
Trust Be Admitted Free
of All Duty.

Washington, June 15.—The tariff de-
bate is not proving a strong attraction
in the senate, and the attendance in the
galleries was small. The tariff bill was
taken up with little delay for morning
business, and Mr. Allison in charge of
the bill, asked for an agreement that
the daily sessions of the senate begin
at 11 a. m. on and after Wednesday
next.

Mr. Vest (Mo.) preferred to have the
agreement conditioned on an under-
standing for daily adjournments at 5
p. In. Mr. Allison stated that there
would be no difficulty about that, and
the agreement for early sessions was
effected.

Mr. Allen (Neb.) then reverted to the
:olloquy last Saturday in which he held
that it was the right and duty of the

government to take legal steps to dis-

solve the Sugar trust. He argued that.
injunction, quo warranto and other
legal process could be invoked against
the trust.

A Remedy In the Courts.

He declared that the rights of the
federal courts to oust a state corpora—
tion engaged in interstate or interna—
tional trade was undoubted. If Have-
meyer and his associates went to New
Jersey to procure a charter as a mere
shield to improper procedure, and not
to conduct business in that state, the
act was fraudulent, the charter void
and the federal courts had jurisdiction
over the subject. Why, therefore.
shbuld the senate waste time and hag-
gle over the sugar schedule and the
Sugar trust when the courts offered a
real remedy for dissolving this gigan-
tic monopoly? Mr. Allen next spoke in
favor of abrogating the Hawaiian
treaty.

The senator said the sugar investiga-
tion, in which he took part, disclosed
that Havemeyer, head of the Sugar
trust, and Claus Spreckels, king of the
sugar trade of the Hawaiian islands,
had an agreement by which Spreckels
controlled the territory west of the
Missouri river, while the territory east
of the Missouri was “subject to the
forays” of the American Sugar trust.
His vote, and, he believed, the votes of
the Populist senators, would be cast to
cancel the Hawaiian treaty as a means
of developing the beet sugar industry
of this country.

Free List For Trusts.

Mr. Pettigrcw (S. D.) followed in sup-
port of his amendment proposing that
articles made by a trust be put on the
free list. He asserted that it was a
serious question how the present ”gov-
ernment by the trusts and for the
trusts” could be thrown off. There
were trusts in coal, sugar, oil, glass,
steel, chemicals, crockery and all other
great staples, stifling competition and
setting up the rule of the monopoly.
No tariff bill would be successful, he
said, without some defense of the people
against the trusts, and such a bill would
meet with popular condemnation. As
a protectionist he offered this amend-
ment, believing that with it the tariff
bill could be defended against assaults.

He contended that the amendment
would not seriously diminish revenues,
as the bill Was not framed to get rev-
enue from trust articles, the American
markets being, in effect, turned over to
the trusts.

Mr. Pettlgrew gave the details of the
organization of the many extensive
trusts, beginning with the Sugar trust.

The senator figured out profits of
$51,098 daily by the Sugar trust, or over
$15,000,000 annually, most of which, he
urged, was due to favorable legislation.
While the price of sugar was less under
the present law than it was under the
act of 1890, he continued, it was higher
than it was in 1886 before the trust was
formed.

Mr. Pettigrcw then branched off into
the discussion of other trusts. The
Anthracite Coal trust came in for a
share of his attention. It appeared
from the evidence before the Lexow
committee, he said, that the price of
coal had been increased $1 a ton in 1896,
and as 40,000,000 tons were sold last year
it cost the consumers $40,000,000. He
was glad, he said, that he had support-
ed in the last campaign a man who
had the courage to avow his opposition
to trusts.

MAY 13?. no Winnoonrnsr.

But Millionaire Richardson’s Second \Vll'o
Will Have Her Share.

New York, June 15.——VVheeler H.
Peckham. counsel for Miss Della Grace
Richardson, said that it had not been
decided whether there would be a con-
test of the will of her father, Joseph
Richardson, the wealthy retired con-
tractor who died last week leaving an
estate of about $20,000,000. The filing of
the earlier dated will, which left the
entire estate to his daughter and son,
George Richardson, ignoring Mr. Rich-
ardson’s second wife, Mr. Peckham
said, did not necessarily mean a con-
test of the later will.

“There have been no legal proceed-
ings looking to a contest so far ascw'e
are concerned," said he. “The will was
filed because it was the proper and safe
thing to do with it.”

“Will there be no contest by the chil-
dren?” was asked.

“\‘Vell, that is not decided,” was the
reply.

It was said by representatives of
Mrs. Emma Jane Richardson that no
contest of the will would be instituted
by her unless her son and daughter
should take the initial step. If, how-
ever, George Richardson and Della
Richardson, the children. should make
an attempt to have declared as valid
Richardson’s first will, by which the
widow was cut off, Mrs. Richardson
would institute a contesr. basing her
claim upon the later will, by which the
property is divided between widow, son.
and daughter in equal parts. As for
the other claimants for a share in the
estate, all the legatees under both wills
have decided to ignore them. Mrs.
Richardson’s lawyer was unable to‘ tell
why Richardson had cut his wife off in
the first will. The relations between
the children and their stepmother had
always been friendly, he said. Should,
however, a contest result over the two
wills it would be fought to the end by
each side.

General Porter Congratulates M. Faure.
Paris, June 15.—The United States
embassador, General Horace Porter,

sentatives who are on their way to at-
tend the diamond jubilee of Queen Vic-
loria. General Porter has presented his
congratulations to President Faure up-
on the latter’s escape from what ap—
peared to be an attempt upon his life.

A Countess’ Brother Insane.

Baltimore, June 14.—An insane man
supposed to be William Hayward of
London, brother to the late Countess de
Limburg Stirums of Holland, is in the
Central Police station here. Letters

Flag Day Reception at Saratoga.

THE TRIAL or SERIVBB.

Continuation of the Argument by the Do-
fense For a Dismissal.

Washington, June 17.———Judge Ditten-
hoefer today resumed his argument on
the motion to order an acquittal in the
trial of John S. Shriver. Washington
correspondent of the New York Mail and
Express, charged with rccusancy be-
fore the senate sugar investigation
from the committee of 1894. As it was
evident that the arguments on the mo-
tion would consume the entire day, the
jury was excused. District Attorney
Davis’ argument will not be submitted
until tomorrow.

Judge Dittenhoefer devoted most of
his time today to the exposition of the
preposition that Mr. Shriver, as a news-
paper man, was privileged not to dis-
close the sources or his information.

The vilest wretch on earth, said Judge
Dittenhoefer, was he who won a
man’s confidence and then betrayed it.
“In my long experience in public life
and at the bar,” said he, “I have had
occasion many times to give my con-
fidence to newspaper men, and, what-
ever other sins they may have been
guilty of. not one ever was guilty of
violation of confidence."

“You do not mean to say, judge,” in-
terrupted Judge Bradley, “that the vi-
olation of a promise to comply with le-
gal duty would degrade or dishonor a
witness?"

“A newspaper man," replied Judge
Dittenhoefer, “who would reveal the
source of. his information with regard
to a matter of public moment would
disgrace and degrade himself within
the meaning of the law.”

Judge Dittenhoefer said that .this
question had not as yet received much
attention at the hands of the courts,

yet it was one that affected a large es-,

tate and had a most important bear-
ing on the public welfare. “Thomas
Jefferson,” he said dramatically, “said
that it were better to have a free press
without a free government than a free
government without a free press.”

“I don’t see how we could have a
free government without a free press,”
observed Judge Bradley rather sarcas-

tically.
“Certainly not, certainly not,” replied
Judge Dittenhoefer quickly. “That

was merely Mr. Jefferson’s epigram-
matic way of asserting that fact.”

A SLIGHT FOR JUDGE GARY.

Be “'as Not Chosen as One of the Ap-
pellate Judges In Illinois.

Springfield, 1115., June 17.—An unusu-
al incident occurred in the supreme
court yesterday when appellate judges
were assigned. Judge Gary, who pre-
sided at the anarchist trials, was not
assigned. Judge Magruder protested.
He said:

“The distinguished services of Mr.
Justice Gary for nearly 34 years de-
served a more fitting recognition.
Wherever modern civilization has ex—
tended its light and its blessings his
name stands as a synonym for law and
order. With his life in his hand he has
staid and suppressed the onsets of law-
lessness and disorder, and I enter my
solemn protest against the slight thus
put upon this just and fearless judge.”

Chief Justice Phillips, in his reply,
said, “With the fullest recognition of
these qualities, the majority of this
court reserved to itself the right and
discharged the duty of selecting other
judges for that place, equally learned,
industrious and able, who can and will,
with equal earnestness and as high
sense of justice, discharge these du-
ties.” -

 

Monument to Indian Warriors.

Rapid City, S. D., June 17.——The re-
maining braves of the Sioux tribes have

desired to have appropriate epitaphs in
their own language.

ing as mayor and probate judge. He

ter, who was then secretary of state, to
the fact that German citizens in this
country were held liable for military
iuty in Germany.

To Reduce a Bank’s Stock.
