iii Hill/ALAN TREATY It IS 330011 to De Sent to the United States Senate. ANNEXATION IS ASSURED. Enoughicnators Favor Taking the Little Republiclu to Make the Ratification of the Treaty Certain—The Doc- ument Already Drawn. V’ashing‘ton, fJune 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 agreedhpon 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 The treaty is on :the general lines of the treaty negotiated during the ad- ministration of President Harrison and withdrawn by President Cleveland. provides for annexation without the exaczio-n of condition-s on the part of the Hawaiians .as to the ,form of gov- ernnient to be vouchsafed to Hawaii, leaving that question to beentirely dis- posed of by the government of the United States. The United States will .agree, how— ever, to assume the debt of the present Hawaiian government, but will come into possession of all the Hawaiian crown lands and other possessions. To Follow the Tariff 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 relatiorls 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 an- 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.

I. : '> MAY SE NO WILL CONTEST But Millionaire Richardson’s Second \Vifo \Vili Have nel- Share. New York, June l5.—Wheeler H. Peckham. counsel for Miss Della Grace Richardson, saidthat it had not been decided whethergthere would be a con- test of the will of her father, Joseph Richardson, the wealthy retired con— ractor who died last week leaving an estate of about $26,000,000. 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 as we 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 con-teat. basing her claim upon the later will, by which the taproperty 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 tw0 wills it would be fought to the end by each side. General Porter Congratulates M. Faure.

New York, June 14.—The New York Herald has started a fund for Mark Twain,.th~e celebrated American humor- ist, opening the list with a subscription of $1.000. The Herald makes known its plan in the following words: ' Alzhough natural delicacy prevents Mr. Samuel L. Clemens, who has made the pseudonym of Mark Twain 3. house- hold word, from unveiling his private affairs to the public, it is well known that he is at present in sore pecuniary straitsfi Therefore The Herald today opens a subscription for him with the sum of $1,000. It trusts that many will be glad to have this opportunity of tes— tifying to the feelings of esteem, grati- tude and sympathy which they feel for him. ‘ There is a peculiar pathos in the situ- ation which has overtaken the greatest merrymaker of the day. He who has lightened the load of life for an entire generation is himself bowed down by care. Mark Twain is more than a mere jester. His fun is of the superior kind that is based on truth. He has a hatred of sham and humbug so keen that it can only find relief in the uproarious laughter that helps to clear the air of cant. He is above all an American, im- bued with the American spirit. He is a democrat in love mith democracy, and the gospel which he preaches is one with that which is preached by the history of the American republic. All good Americans should therefore lend him a helping hand, and all readers of English should wish to make some re- turn for the many hours of enjoyment which he has given them.
