Associated Press Dispatches [

Associated Press Dispatches
ship Australia arrived from Honolulu
today, bringing advices to June 9th. In
the legislative assembly, June 5th, the
committee on foreign affairs, acting
under instruction to inquire whether
the negotiations for the renewal of the
present treaty with the United States on
the part of the cabinet or any officer Of
the Hawaiian government were calcu-
lated to prejudice or jeopardize the polit-
ical or commercial independence, re-
ported four charges against Minister of
Foreign Affairs Austin, accusing him OF
not fully complying with the instructions
of the house to communicate all cores
pondence on the treaty, in having alb
stracted or caused to be abstracted one
of tie most important documents in the
shape of a letter from Minister Garter,
containing valuable suggestions about
the treaty, and in having retained other
letters from Carter touching on the sub
ject, on the plea that they were private
personal communications. They also
charged that the minister refused to
transmit the minutes OF numerous cab
net meetings between April and Septem-
Der, 1889. at which the proposed treaty
was discussed. The committee held
Minister Austin to be guilty of disrespect
to the house.
The committee, continuing it's report,
stated that owing to the policy of the
minister of foreign affairs, it was unable
to decide the question as to whether the
ministers had been instigated in the
first starting OF treaty negotiations, by
the hope OF Fastening the annexation
of Hawaii to the United States. The
legislature would, therefore, be con-
strained to accept the assurance of the
ministry that they never intended any
thing against the independence of the
country. In the same way the COM
mittee maintained that the real wish
OF the American government of preserv-
ing the independence of Hawaii, would
have been better established if it had
been possible to prove who was the
originator of the clause concerning the
landing of troops, which had been the
subject OF contrary statements from
members of the Hawaiian cabinet.
No discussion was had by members of
the legislature on the statements con-
tanned in the report, but the whole mat
Ter was tabled until the minority report
could be presented.
The action of the congress of the
United States in regard to tariff legisla-
ton, especially in the matter OF the
sugar schedule, is watched with interest
by the residents of the islands, The
abolition of the duty on sugar it is
claimed, would take away many of the
commercial advantages which Hawaii
now enjoys.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill
Under Discussion.

Under Discussion.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-The house to-
day went into committee of the whole
on the sundry civil bill
Cannon said the appropriation carried
by the measure was $2S,000,000, one
million less than the regular estimates,
and thirteen millions less than the reg
ular and special estimates. The sundry
civil law for the current year provided
for the expenditure of $25 900, 900. The
apparent excess in this bill was more
than accounted for by certain extraor-
dinary items. The fourteen regular ap-
preparation bills reported to the house
aggregated $306, 1000, 900, showing an ex-
cess of $35,O00,0O0 over the ap-
propriations for the current year.
This excess was nearly all ac-
counted for in three bills-pen-
sions, $1S,000,OO0; postoffices, $12,-
100000, and naval, $2,160,00O. The
other $4,000, 900 resulted from the ex-
pansion incident to the growth of the
country. The only bill not now reported
to the house was the general deficiency
bill, and this would be reported before
the close of the fiscal year. There are
pending the sundry civil and Indian
bills. In the senate committee on ap-
preparations are the agricultural, dlplo-
matte and postoffice bills, and in the
senate committee on commerce, the
river and harbor bills Pending in the
senate is the legislative bill. The forti-
fication bill has passed both houses.
The District of Columbia naval and
pension bills are in conference.
The army and military academy bills
are in the hands Of the president. This
was favorable showing compared with
the condition of the bills two years ago.
The following amendments were
adopted: Appropriating $4,000 for a
public building at Cedar Rapids, Iowa );
$4,000 for an elevator in the public
building at Peoria, Ill.
A motion by Goodnight to strike out
the appropriation for an irrigation sur
vey was defeated.
The committee rose and the house
took a recess.
At the evening session thirty private
pc 4 bills were advanced to third
but none passed
Los Angeles herald., 1890-06-14
that copy of the report and testimony
be submitted TO the president

that copy of the report and testimony
be submitted to the president.
Regarding the case of Alexander
Campbell, Commissioner Lyman's broth
er-in-law, the committee says it was
clear that Campbell copied the questions
furnished Finn, who gave instructions
to persons desiring examination; and
that the questions were not obsolete.
Campbell should have been dismissed.
His retention indicated gross laxity in
discipline, and his promotion would
seem not to have been defensible. The
committee cannot accept as satisfactory
the answers of Messrs. Oberly, Lyman
and Doyle that they considered the ques-
tions obsolete. Omission to ascertain
the truth was as reprehensible as to
have disregarded it after it had been
ascertained.
The committee does not share the
view that Commissioners Roosevelt and
Thompson are deserving of censure for
not having taken action in the Camp
bell case when their attention was called
to 1T. There was concurrence in the
statement to them that the matter had
been fully investigated, and in not
taking further action the committee
thinks they were thoroughly justified.
Respecting the course of the commits
sion in the case of Shidy, the Milwaukee
postoffice employee who was discharged
by ex-Postmaster Paul for exposing
frauds, the committee says it was APP
parent to the commission that Shidy
was being punished for disclosing the
truth. They felt it their duty to aid
him by their influence in securing en-
ployment, and thereupon recommended
him for appointment in the census
office. The committee is unable to find
anything to criticise in that behalf. The
investigation of the alleged irregulari-
ties in the Milwaukee postoffice, con-
Quoted by Doyle and Webster, disclosed
an utter disregard of the civil service
law in that office. Failure to submit
the result of that investigation to the
president, indicates either disinclination
to discharge an obvious duty, or fear
that such report would subject the COM
missioners to censure. On the re-organ-
ization of the commission by the ap-
pointment of Roosevelt and Thompson,
a thorough investigation into the abuses
and Irregularities of the Milwaukee post
office was held at once.
1t is learned that Alexander Campbell
has resigned his position as clerk to the
commission.

CITY HALL SCANDAL.
Are the Contractors or Informer Hanks
the Guilty Culprits?

JIG Uullby
SAN Francisco, June 13.-At meet
ing of the city hall commissioners today,
Architect Wright, appointed to inquire
into the condition of the contract work
performed ON the walls of the northwest
wing Of the new city hall, presented his
report. He stated that forty-three open
ings had been made in different parts of
the wing, and about one-fourth of these
were found to be filled with rubbish
instead of solid brick work.
In about one-ffth defective brick
work was also found. Most seri-
Gus defects were found in four great
piers supporting heavy iron girders, and
which would have to carry weight of
$50 tons each. The piers are filled with
rubbish for part of their height, and
would have to be taken down. An arch
was also found defective.
A communication from Contractors
Mccain and Riddell was read,
in which they expressed their will
ingness to put the work in per-
ect condition, and claimed to have
information that George Hanks, who
pointed out the defective work to the
commissioners, caused two barrels of
stuffing to be placed in few separate
places within the walls, and intimated
to some of his fellow-workmen that he
intended to profit thereby by selling the
information to the newspapers.
Mccain testified that he thought $500
would cover the cost of the necessary re-
pairs.
A number of workmen testified that
Hanks had told them the walls were
stuffed by him, and he intended to make
money out of the matter.

BUCKS IN WAR PAINT,
Hostile Demonstrations of the Chey
ennes in Montana,

HOstiIe Dem0nstrat1Ons of the Chey-
ennes in Montana.
MILES CTTY, Mont, June 13.-Colonel
Curtis, aid-de-camp to Governor Toole,
arrived yesterday with arms and am
munition for the settlers. He had a
consultation with Sheriff Jones and citi-
zens of Miles City, and some settlers
who have left their ranches, and ex-
planned that the governors instructions
were to find out the facts in the case,
and the state simply desired to aid the
United States authorities in case the
resources of the latter were not suffi-
cient. A committee of eight, with
Colonel Curtis, drove to Fort Keogh.
where conference was held with Col
Swaine, commander.
Colonel Bryan, one of the settlers ex-
planned the situation, saying number
of settlers with their families had left
their homes, owing to a threatened out
break of the Cheyennes; that Indians
were burning signal fires on the hills,
and friendly Indians had warned the
settlers to leave the country, as war was
soon to be inaugurated. The Indians
who had adopted a civilized garb had
thrown it off, and were out in full In
dian rig.
Lum Holt, another settler who has
also come into Miles City, had been
warned by an Indian boy to 90, as
messenger had been sent to Standing
Rock agency to get help from the Sioux,
and they were going to take Agent U.
P. Shaw's scalp, and would take SOL
diers' scalps, too.
Colonel Bryan said the Indians had
ammunition and the best made guns !;
that the cowboys had deserted the
ranges, and the spring roundup had
ceased.
Colonel Swaine said there were two
troops of cavalry at the agency, three of
infantry and one of cavalry on the way
to the scattered settlements; but owing
to the lack OF transportation facilities he
could not place troops at all the points
desired by the committee.
During the conference it developed
that sixty-five young Cheyennes with
guns were in hiding near the Catholic
mission, fourteen miles from the agency,
and that Major Carroll, in charge OF the
troops at the agency, knew nothing ofit.
Colonel Curtis suggested that COM
mlttee go to the agency to tell Major
Carroll OF the facts, and have him dis
erm the reds and return them to the
reservation. Colonel Swaine indorsed
the idea, and suggested that Colonel
Curtis and settler make the trip. This
will be done.
While Frame does not concede that
there is any great danger, he advised the
settlers to take their women and chill
dren out of the country.
The Indians have been driven to des-
peration by lack of food The young
bucks are tired of it, and it is stated
desire war. The danger is not all at the
agency where the troops are, but be-
tween the fort and the agency where the
Indians are lurking, and where the set
tiers are scattered.

BUTTERWORTH'S BILL
To Fix a Uniform Standard for Classify
ing and Grading Cereals.

WASHINGTON, June 13-Representa-
tive Butterworth today introduced bill
providing for the fixing of a uniform
standard of classifyinn and grading
wheat, corn and other cereals. The bill
authorizes and directs the secretary of
agriculture to fix according to such
standards as he may prescribe, the
classifications of cereals as in his udg-
ment the usages of trade warrant and
permit, having reference to the stand
ards and grades now recognized by the
chambers of commerce and boards of
trade. When such standard is fixed, it
shall be made matter of record in the
agricultural department, and notice
given that such grades shall be known
as the United States standard.

THE BIG CRUISER,
Chances in Favor of the Contract Com
ing to the Coast.

WAsHINGToN, June 13.-The award of
the contract for the construction of the
S,100-ton armored cruiser was one of the
questions considered at today's cabinet
meeting. There are but two.competitors,
the Union Iron Works, of San Fran
cisco, and Cramp & Co., of Philadelphia,
and each is working hard to secure the
contract. The Union Iron Works made
the lowest bid on the plans prepared by
the navy department, while the Cramps
made the lowest bid for the ship under
modified department plans. Secretary
Tracy said today the matter would be
settled in a few days, but declined to
commit himself further. Naval officers
conversant with the matter are inclined
to the belief that the chances are in
favor of the Union Iron Works.

wards the mountains. A number of

LYMAN CENSURED.
Report of the House Committee on Civil
Service Reform.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-The house
committee on reform in the civil service,
which conducted the investigation into
charges against the civil service com
missioner, held meeting today ard
agreed upon report. The committee
says: 1--WE find, first, that Commits
sioners Roosevelt and Thompson dis
charged their duties with entire fidelity
and integrity; second, the official con-
duct of Commissioner Lyman has been
characterized by laxity of discipline in
the administration of the affairs of the
commission, and is therefore censurable.
Your committee will at once investigate
the workings of the system, and present
a subsequent report when the investiga-
tion is completed"

An Iron Fence.

The county court made an appro-
priation Tuesday to have the court
yard enclosed by a substantial iron
fence. There was some opposi-
ton to the measure by some of the
magistrates, but when they consid-
cred the fact that an enclosure OF
some kind had to be provided they
readily saw the economy of having
a fence that would prove everlast-
ing. A committee was appointed
to purchase and erect the structure
which they will proceed to do al
once. The fence will be set out {
few feet from the present one, anC
the yard leveled down to it, thus
further improving the looks Of thc
square.

About 9.l5 o'clock Friday even
