WHO NAMED REID /?
MOrtOn's Failure to Secure the
Nomination.
An Unjust AccusatIOn--New York
Delegates, Not the President,
ResPOnsibIe--OneO of the Cabinet
Officers Gives His Version.

ResPOnsible--One of the Cabinet
Officers Gives His Version.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1.-THE ma
tional convention having substituted the
name of Mr.. Reid for vice president in
place of Mr.. Morton, the report became
current that the change was made at the
suggestion OF President Harrison. Friends
Of the president do not think it Just to
make him responsible in any way for the
action of the New York state delegation.
Thevote of the convention is final, and he
is glad to have associated with him a gen.
tleman distinguished as a journalist and
eminent as a diplomatist, nevertheless
this action of the convention was a COM
plete surprise to the president and every
member of his cabinet.
Mr.. Morton, il is said, had never init
mated that he would not cheerfully allow
his name to go on the ticket with Mr.. Har-
rison. The action of the followers of Mr..
Platt i'll the New York delegation is re-
garded with suspicion by friends of the
administration. Mr.. Blaine has wired Mr.
Reid his congratulations, but has not sent
similar telegram to Mr.. Harrison, though
he has said in his published message that
lit is the common duty of every republi-
can to do all in his power to elect the tick
ct nominated by the national republican
| convention"
WHAT CABINET OFFICER SAYS.
The explanation given by a member of
the cabinet for Mr.. Platt's course is that
he is under such obligations to Mr.. Morton
for his support and help in times past, that
had he allowed the ticket of 1888 to stand
he would in honor have been obliged to
do all in his power in the state of New
York to secure its success. He is under no
such obligations to Mr. Reid, but on the
contrary there are, it is alleged, reasons
why he would not support him.
1t is deeply regretted that personal ami
mostly should have beed carried thus far
but intimate friends of the president pro-
test that it is unfair to Mr.. Reid, to Mr.
Morton, and to the cause of the party, that
Mr. Harrison should be made in any way
responsible for not having Mr.. Morton's
name on the ticket.
| The action of the Tribune in arranging
/ its difficulties with the Typographical
union was, it is understood, only busi-
ness matter, and Mr.. Reid is quoted as
saying that 1t was merely coincidence and
had no relation whatever to his possible
nomination for the vice presidency.
Mr.. Morton saw Mr.. Harrison and heard
from him how much surprised he was at
what had happened.
Mr.. Depew's explanation telegraphed
here is that Mr.. Reid was put on the ticket
because New York asked, and the choice of
a vice president was offered to the leaders
OF the opposition to Harrison, who, it was
announced, would be satisfied with any
one New York would name; so Mr.. Reid
was chosen to placate the opposition.

Next MONDAY Night.

Carroll Johnson the actor who appears
in the play of the Gossoon at the Olympia
Theater next Monday night has a singing
voice which is bird-like in its quality, and
his acting has charm that is characteris-
tically his own. He is the incarnation of
graceful reWose, and his smile has that
something in it that reminds one of sunny
summer day. While dancing it would
seem as if his feet barely kissed the boards,
and when he gives one of his hearty Irish
laughs the effect on an audience is pleas
antly contagious.

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.
The Case Of Treason Against the
Government =,

Movement Against the United
states MinIster--The Question of
AnnexatiOn--The United states
Vessels in Honolulu.
HONOLULU, June 7.-Justice Dole, of the
supreme court Of Hawaii, denied the mo-
tion June for discharge of the persons
arrested for treason, finding III his decision
that according to the Hawaiian laws plot
ting was an overt act of treason. Five de-
PENDANTS were released, however, as the
evidence was insufficient to hold them, and
the trial of the others was resumed, testi-
mony being taken for the defense. Just be-
fore the steamer Colima left for San Fran
cisco, Volney Ashford, one of the defend
ants, was placed on the stand and denied
statements that had been made concerning
the proposed attack on the palace on June
2. Noble Mscfarlane, during the session,
asked Minister of Foreign Affairs Parker
whether any measures had been taken for
rebuking United States Minister Stevens
for utterances on a recent public occasion.
Minister Parker replied that the govern
ment was investigating the affair. Mac
fsrlane's reference was to Minister Stevens
alleged interference in Hawaiian local af-
fairs in Stevens Memorial day grafton.
The legislature, by vote of So to 13, de-
cided Macfarlane's language uncalled for
and ordered all reference to the matter ex-
plunged from the record of the house. The
ministry voted with the minority.
Minister Parker, on the third instant, re-
plying to the resolution of inquiry, said
the Hawaiian government had not author
lied Minister ] Mott Smith, at Washing
ton, to enter into any treaty looking to the
annexation Of the islands to the United
States, and that the treaty of 1887 gave the
United States the sole right to maintain
coaling station at Pearl Harbor, he said the
right being cO-existent with the life of the
treaty.

An Important Move.

Probably the most important financial
question that agitates the mind of the av-
erage business Of today is; What are we
to do with constantly increasing list of
delinquent debtors What legitimate
means can we use to force them to deal
honorably with their creditors The busi-
ness men of Olympia are taking steps TO or
ganize a local branch of the American
Commercial and Collection agency, which
will be combination of the business men
botn for local advancement and for deci-
siYe move against dishonest debtors. Sim
liar organizations are being made through
out the state and the merchants speak in
highest praise Of the success of the system
wherever it is in ure. 1t is against the pol
icy of this OrganizOtion to Oppress a man
that deals honorable, even though he may
be poor, but the business men propose to
exercise their legal rights and refuse credit
to the "beats." That such a move is nee
essary and will be beneficial to the cOmmu-
nifty goes without saying and it is hoped
that the merchants of Olympia will lose
no time but begin the good work at once.
The Action of the Humane society.
There was special meeting Of the exec
utive board of the humane society Thurs
day to consider the complaint of violent
treatment suffered recently by a ten-vear-
old child at the hands of his religious in.
structor. From the testimony offered the
| board was convinced that a case could be
made out against the offender. But as its
policy is to first try persuasion before pros
ecution, it will make no arrests unless
similar violence is repated. The child was
in attendance at the school controlled by
the religious denomination with which the
ohenper is officially connected. Two other
cases Of similar nature are charged against
! the same person.

AARON'S QUIETUS.
JUDGE WADE SETTLES HIS CLAIM
FOR COMMISSION,
The Judge Gives Number of Good Rea-
sons for Denying the Complaint-Good
Sense and Good Law.

Judge Wade put quietus on the
$4,000 claim of Aaron Smith by sustain
ing the demurrer offered by Deputy
District Attorneys Marble and Yorke
on behalf of the county.
The points of the judges ruling are
epitomized below:
The complaint fails to show the bid
procured by plaintiff would not have
been made but for his intervention.
The complaint fails to show that as
good bid as that procured by plaintiff
was rot made, or as good a sale could
not have been effected, if the bid pro-
cured by plaintiff had not been made.
The supervisors had no authority to
employ plaintiff to procure o bid and
thereby create a liability against the
county.
By the act under which the bonds are
issued, the board of supervisors issues
the bonds, delivers them to the
treasurer, the sale being made
under it's direction and with it's
approval. On the delivery of the
bonds to the treasurer, he gives his re-
ceipt for, and is charged with them on
his official bond. The treasurer sells
them, keeps record of the bonds sold
by him, and reports his sales to the
board of supervisors; the sales being
made on the most available terms for
not less than par and accrued interest
to the highest bidder after advertise
ment of not less than three weeks, the
right being reserved to reject any and
all bids.
It thus appears not only is the sale
made by the treasurer, but he also pro-
cures the bids, the means of procure
ment being by advertisement, as afore-
said.
The supervisors have nothing to do
with the bonds from the time OF their
delivery to the treasurer until the time
of the consummation of the sale; the
sale being consummated under their di-
rection and approval.
1t appears from the complaint that
the advertisement had once been made
and was running a second time, the
time therein set for the opening OF the
bids being March IA, 1891, and that
subsequent to the delivery to the treas
urer and prior to said March IA, 1891,
to-wit, November 8, 1890, the board of
supervisors undertook to perform acts
in relation to the disposal Of the bonds
by employing plaintiff to perform the
duties of the treasurer, such act on the
part of the board of supervisors was
therefore void one. If the board of
supervisors had any power at all to en-
ploy plaintiff, it could have been only
with the concurrence of the treasurer,
and even then such employment would
not have been valid unless it appeared
that the treasurer had exhausted all the
means at his command for the procur-
ing of bids and the sale of the bonds.
This the complaint does not show, it
showing merely that one advertisement

and Hoover streets, from Alvarado to
Jefferson streets, opened.

HERE IS KICK.
Council was about to adjourn when
Councilman Innes said that E. B. Moore
desired to address the legislators. Mr..
Moore was granted the floor and came
out with flushed countenance and a
slightly unsteady gait, probably due
to suppressed excitement. The follow
ing interesting remarks were then in
dulged in:
Mr.. Moore-I suppose you gentlemen
have all read the articles in the papers.
Mr.. Rees-What articles?
| Mr.. Moore-Why, the articles about
the street superintendent.
The President we know
nothing about such matters. We can
not take cogniZance of newspaper ar
ticles that are anonymous.
Mr.. NOore-I want a committee of
council to investigate the street superin-
tendents Office. That's what Pm here
for.
Mr.. Rees--Have you any written
charges to file? We would like to have
something tangible before us; some.
thing we could take long look at.
| Mr.. Moore-I didn't think it was ne
cessary after what I said to Mr.. Innes.
Mr.. Innes-The gentleman seems to
insinuate that have something to do
with this business. He only asked me
to get him the privilege of the floor, and
did it.
Mr.. Moore-Well, I'm perfectly will
ling to write out charges and go right
down to the city clerks Office and file
them, too.
The President-That's what you had
better do.
Mr.. Rhoades-I should like to ask the
gentleman whether he was ever EN-.
ployed by the street superintendent.
The President-I don't think that
would be proper question. Let him
fix up his written charges and we'll talk
| to him next Monday.
Mr.. Moore collapsed and council ad-
| iourned.
