N0 WARSHIPS ON THE LAKES Secretary Herbert Makes a Decision Ir. Which He Follows the Precedent Established by Secretary Tracy. ‘ Olney Chops Of! a Head. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—The state de- partment is keenly interested in the new treaty between France and Madagascar, an outline of which has just been pub- lished. The Officials expressed much con- corn in the question, but declined to be quoted in the absence Of the full text. . It may be given, however, as the gen. eral opinion in the department that ac- cording to the terms of the agreements so far as given the French have succeeded in making their own terms with Madagascar, and that the protectorate for which it .provides really amounts to making Mada- gascar a dependency of the French repubv lic. It confirms and extends the claims oi the French under the treaty of 1886 and absolutely nullifles the protocol to that agreement, which the Malagassy claimed so modified the treaty as to give them ab. solute control over their internal affairs. The French government never recognized the binding effect of this protocol, not- withstanding it was negotiated by the French plenipctentiary. The United States has remained neutral on this point, apparently leaving the course to be pursued largely to the Amer- ican consul in Madagascar. Consul Wal- ler accepted his exequator from the native government, while Mr. Wetter applied for his through the French resident, on which account the queen refused to recognize him. He is therefore only acting consul at this time. This protocol expressly re- newed to the Hova government the right to control the internal affairs of the island without French interference. The queen of the island acted under the terms of the protocol in making the Waller concession. The department Officials are very guard- ed in discussing the probable effect of the annullment of the protocol. It is pointed out, however, that it is usual for this ”gov- ernment to insist upon recognition of her own treaties regardless of changes Of ad- ministration in other countries, from which it may be inferred that the United States will demand that property rights acquired by American citizens in Mada- gascar under the former treaty will be protected. It is not believed under the circumstances that if Waller should be re- stored to the possession of the grant he would find its occupancy either pleasant or profitable, and it is supposed on this account that he would prefer accepting an indemnity from France in lieu of the land itself. In diplomatic circles this treaty, con- cluding the French conquest of Madagas- car, is regarded as an important Step in the policy of European colonization and aggrandizement in South Africa. No W'arships on the Lakes. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.——Secretary Her- bert has decided not to award the contract for building two of the proposed gunboats to the Detroit Dry Dock company, not- withstanding the bid of that firm was the lowest made. Discussing the decision, the secretary said: “My determination of the matter was controlled wholly by my in; terpretation of our treaty with Great Britain prohibiting either nation from building war vessels on the great lakes. Secretary Tracy, about three years ago, rendered a similar decision in a 'case very much like the present. I have examined his decision carefully and have adopted it as a precedent. I did not take this course, however, until .1 had made a very thor- ough investigation of the question for my- self.” The secretary said that he had not de‘ cided, in view of the determination to have none of the-work done on the lakes, to whom he would award the contracts. It is supposed, however, from the way the bids range that the contract for two-of the vessels will now go to the Union iron works of San Francisco, for- two more to the works at Bath, Me, and for one each to Nixon of Elizabeth, N. J., and Diu- logue of Camden. N. J. Navy depart- ment officials think this would be an equitable distribution of the building. Kieckhoefi‘er Resigns. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—+Mr. Francis J. Kieckhoefler,disbursing Officer of the state department, has tendered his resignation. It is learned that Mr. Kieckhoefl’er re- signed at the'request of Secretary Olney. This is believed to be the outcome of an investigation of the disbursing Officer’s accounts which has been in progress for some time, and it is rumored that irregu- . . . I . . larities in his accounts were discovered, but no ofiicial statement to this effect can be obtained. It is said that the discrep- ancies cover a long period and involve a large sum. The system of bookkeeping in the department has been long known as lax and peculiar, and there is among other items a contingency fund of $75,000 for which no vouchers whatever are required. Mr. Kieckhoefier has held the office for the past ten years. The place pays $2,100 a year. Mr. Kieckhoeffer was appointed from the District of Columbia. Garlisle Undecided.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28.—The trial of Theodore Durant is nearing its close, and the case will probably go to the .jury next Friday. Attorney Dickinson, for the de- fense, has said he will conclude on Tues- day morning, and Attorney Duprey, also for the defense, will probably finish' for Durant on Tuesday afternoon. District Attorney Barnes expects to begin his ar- gument on Wednesday morning and to complete his closing address the same day. Judge Murphy’s charge will belong and exhaustive, and its delivery may occupy a day. The exhibits are numerous, and in the case of some will require much study on the part Of the jury. This is particu- larly true of the comparison ”of the notes of Durant and those made by Student ‘Glazer, with whom Durant quizzed. The jury will be asked to judge for itself as to the alleged similarity between the handwriting of Rev. J. George Gibson and that on the package inclosing Blanche Lamont’s rings. The defense abandoned its intention of placing experts on the stand to endeavor to show this alleged similarity. ' The Examiner says that the mysterious statement which Durant addressed to his attorneys and over which there has been so much speculation was placed in the hands Of the attorneys for the defense be- fore Mr. Duprey made his opening state- ment to the jury. _ - In giving his sealed statement to his attorneys, 'Durant made a special written request that it was not to be opened until after the trial, and then only after convic- tion, If the jury brought in a verdict of acquittal, or if there was a disagreement, then the document, with the seals un- broken, was to be returned.‘ The attorneys did not know quite what to do. They sought the advice of others, and finally determined to Open the letter, and did so, notwithstanding the injunc- tion which Durant had placed upon them. What they read was a revelation. Their client had told them nothing Of what he wrote in his letter. If what he said were true, he should be the leading witness for the state in a case against two murderers instead of a man defending his own life against tremendous odds. _ He told his attorneys that he knew the murderers of Blanche Lamont, for there were more than one. He said that when he ascended to the upper galleries of Em- manuel church he saw the last details of a murder. He wrote in his letter that he saw the Rev. J. George Gibson and a. young man prominent in the affairs of the church bending over the body of Blanche Lamont. MISSING PACIFIC OCEAN SHIPS. The Overdue Fleet Represents About Two Hundred Lives and $6,000,000. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28.—The list of missing and overdue ships is increasing. The Lord Brassey, 81 days out from Hong- kong for San Francisco, is reinsured at 15 per cent.. Other vessels concerning which there is anxiety are the Lady Lawrence, form Newcastle for Valparaiso; tho Nod- dleburn, Newcastle for Tocopilla; the Soudan‘, Cardiff for Callao, and the Tim-' ura. Melbourne for London. The vessels in which the San Franciscans are most in- terested are the Star of Austria and Lord Spencer, which are considered as good as lost, and to these have been added the Earl of Hopetoun, the Nordlysel and the Caadena. On heard those of the overdue fleet for which there is no real cause to feel anx- ious are about 190 men and Officers. On board vessels overdue for which there is cause for some but not serious anxiety are about as many more. On vessels that are posted as missing the last eight months and for which there is no hope are about 150 souls. The amount of prop- erty represented by the overdue fleet is valued at about $6,000,000, including val- ues of ships and cargoes. ROCKEI‘ELLER’S SCHEME. A Report That He Is After the W'isconsin Central Railroad. MILWAUKEE, Oct. 28.—It is reported that John D. Rockefeller, the Standard oil magnate and multimillionaire, is back- ing the plan of. reorganization of the Wis— consin Central lines in the hope 'Of ulti- mately securing control of the property. If Mr. Rockefeller’s plans carry, he will furnish the necessary money to put the line in excellent shape and on a basis where it will be able to compete success fully not only for through traflic between St. Paul and Chicago, but also for eastern traffic. There are several good reasons, it is said, why Mr. Rockefeller is anxious to secure the Central property. He is the owner of Mesba Range property, and he owns the railroad which runs through the range and which he is about to extend to West Superior. The Central’s ferries across Lake Michigan and its connections at Chicago would give him the means necessary to send his ore to all parts of the world, together with the finished product which he would like to manufac- ture. ' Pennsylvania Forest Fires. WILLIAMSPORT, Pa, Oct. 28.-——Exten- sive forest fires are raging on the moun- tains lying along the Beech Creek rail- road, Between Gillintown and Mapes, where, for a distance of about 25 miles, the flames have, caused much damage. Fires are also burning between Clearfield ' and Mitchell. A number of small build- ings have already been consumed, as well as much timber. ' Reservation Evictions.

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—Revolution has broken out in Hayti, and President Hyp- polite is now in his palace in Port~au- Prince guarded by the majority of the army which he brought down from the north with him when he overthrew Legi- time. The commercial houses here which do business with Hayti have been expecting this outbreak for several weeks. When dispatches came yesterday saying that Hyppolite-had proclaimed a state of siege in Port-au-Prince, they were not unpre- PRESIDENT HYI’I’OLITE. pared for the news. Their private dis- patches were to the effect that several of the leading men of Port-au-Prince had been arrested, as well as many Of those who had come in from the country to help swell the army‘of the revolution. ‘ Information has reached New York that Hyppolite proclaimed the state of siege on Wednesday and immediately ordered out a certain number of his prisoners to be shot. They were taken to the plaza and executed by a company Of soldiers who had come down from the north with Hyppolite when he entered Port-au—Prinee. ' The Executions. For the last three months Hyppolite has not left his place except under the guard of soldiers. . Every Sunday he attends mass at the cathedral. and soldiers with fixed bayoncts stand guard at the door and allow no one to pass who is not known to be a friend of the president. So far ten men have been shot, and about 20 are in the military prison. ‘ No United States man-of-war is in any Haytian port to look out for American in- terests, but a French man-Of-war is now in the harbor of Port-au-Prince. A cen- sorship has been placed on all - dispatches sent from Hayti, and the only way that a cipher dispatch can got through is by means known only to those who send them. Though the old friends of Legitime are concerned in the present movement, it is said that General Marrigat is not at the head of it. The army of Hyppolite has been con- centrated about his palace, and he intends to make his final fight in Port-au-Prince. 'Hyppolite and Gherardi. The United States made H yppolite pres- ident under the promise of the coding of Mole St. Nicholas for a naval station. He did not dare to enter the city in which he is now cooped up until Admiral Gherardi took Legitimo from the palace in his car- riage and drove him to the quay and put him on board a steamer for Europe. As soon as Hyppolite was in power he refused the ccssion. The last time Ad. iniral Gherardi was in Port-au-Prince the American minister, in a. conversation with Hyppolite, accidentally said something about the Obligations to the United States under which, he, the president, stood. Hyppolite flew into a rage and declared that the Americans had not made him president, and that he was under no obli- gations to them. ' Hearing of this, the admiral went to the palace and said in cflect: “Mr. President, I understand that you say you are under no obligations to the United States. Is that so?" , Hyppolitc replied: “I never said any such thing. I am conscious that I am un- der deep obligations to the United States. ” The next day Hyppolite left Port-au- Prince and Would not return until the American fleet had sailed from the port.
