EASTERN DISPATCHES.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The trial of
Michael Finnerty for killing the Irish
Giant Ned O'Baldwin resulted in dis
agreement of the Jury and they were dis
charged.
CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-The Tribune's
Washington special says the Committee
on Ways and Means has not finally
voted on the report Of the Sub Commit
tee upon the Hawaiian treaty. This
report in substance says that the Secre.
.sry of the Treasury does not attach
great Importance to any loss of revenue
that may result from this treaty but
believes its ratification will be beneficial
to the country. The committee says:
When we take into consideration the
prospective commerce of the Pacific it
can not be disputed that it il of much
greater advantage to Us than to other
parties. This treaty authorizes the ex.
change of products of the soil such as
sugar, rice and semi-tropioal fruits for
humber, -four and the manufactures OF
the United States. The Pacific States
are to receive from these island what
they do not produce, and the Hawaiin
Islands will receive from the Pacific
States in exchange what they do not
produce. As sugar is the principal
article released from duty the committee
considers especially the facts in relation
! to it and concludes that the admission of
Hawaiian sugar will not have the least in
fuence on the market in Atlantic States,
as it is impossible for this sugar to come
into competition. The committee con-
siders it very important not to lose sight
of probable diversion OF trade of the
Hawaiian Islands in another direction,
if this bill fails, and shows that a
very large proportion OF it has been
attracted by the British Colonies in the
Pacific. The English Government and
people being always on tho alert to in
crease their commercial advantages and
having already Pacific possessions of in
calculable value requiring larger supply
of sugar than can be obtained elsewhere,
on this account have evinced great in
forest in securing n monopoly OF this
trade. It is believed that the treaty
will give new impetus to the business
OF the Islands and that the United States
will secure their trade, il we only take
the proper means to encourage it.
The committee thinks that aside
form the advantages OF trade with
the Hawaiian Islands, there are
political considerations of suffi-
cient magnitude to warrant the United
States in making the treaty. The geo.
graphical position of these islands,
their relation to our Pacific Coast, thei,
history, area and capabilities of produc
ton, the character Of their harbors, the
present and future commerce and tha,
OF the ocean that surrounds them, tn,
, problem as to their future political
: status. together with the certainty tina
! they cannot maintain an autonomy OF
8 hold their place as separate nation
' without being absorbed by some othe
power, are to be considered in the ques
n ton as to the policy Of this treaty. Tn
K committee calls attention to the fact tina
Q the importance of these islands has Ion,
8 been acknowledged by the Government
. of the United States, and cites sewers
n State papers that are in support Of thi
assertion.
