SILVER BUYING TO STOP.
A Straw Vote Shows Repeal Of the

come Tax and Repeal OF the state
Bank Tax.
New York, June S.-The World has In
terviewed nearly all the members Of con-
gress by telegraph on the following ques-
tions
l. Do you, with thepresent information,
favor repeal of the Sherman silver law7
2. Do you favor an income taxi
3. DO you favor repeal Of the state bank
taxi
The World in reporting their answers,
says; "Many of the answers deyiate 50
far from tho plain yes or mo- aud in-
volve SO many qualifications that no tabu-
lar statement would fairly represent the
opinions they express. Important facts
shown are that to tho first question: do
you, with your present information,
favor repeal of the Sherman
sentatives who say practically yes, while
only 18 say mo- OF tho rest many
who qualify their answer so strongly that
they cannot fairly be placed in the afiirni-
ative column show plainly that tlieia in
clinations are in favor of repeal. The
sentiment of the lower house on that
question seems to be overwhelming.
HOW THE SENATE STANDS.
The World had already polled the Sem
ate on the silver bill, and on March last
printed table showing that the body
stood, for repeal 80, against repeal 2s, nom
committal l6. II viii be noticed that
several who were non-committal then arc
now in favor Of repeal. There seems to
be no doubt that nearly two-9hirds of the
Senate will vote that way.
"1'he newer question of on income tax
develops an interesting situation. Many
who speak freely as to the Sherman bill
evade or ignore this questions but 45 say
squarely that they favor it and 42 that
they do not Southern and western con-
gressInen are the most numerous advo-
Gates Of such tax.
"On the state bank tax question the
opinion Is almost as one-sidod as in regard
TO the sherman bill Many dodge it en-
tirely, but 90 say positively that they are
against repeating the tax, while only 30
favor repeal. y

whether this was a contract or a dona-
tlon. The corporation accepted the gift
and conditions and passed a rule closing
the fair on Sundays. Then the government
withheld Sl,140,000 of the 100000 coins
II had agreed to give the corporation.
Who knows that the cor
poradOn would have accepted the
gift and surrendered its views
on Sunday closing if it had known that
part Of the appropriation was to be with
held. This law was passed by congress
after the acceptance of the former CON
ditional gift. 1t was a new condition inn
posed without the consent of the other
party, The construction placed on this
act by the law officers of the government
attributes to congress purity Of purpose
Tho national commission was intrusted
with the task of providing Jurors Of award
and this was as clearly a portion of its
duties as anything else that it had done
and the expense should be borne by the
commission as well as the cost of classify
ing the exhibits. This expense should
not be saddled on the local corporation by
congress Congress has no power to ere
ate Indebtedness for the local corporation,
and the act of March 3, 1898 was uniusti-
fable The government has broken faith
with the corporation, and no court Of
equity could insist on the corporation ob
serving the hard conditions imposed by
the government. The government has no
more right than private individual and,
whether as contractor or donor. it should
be compelled to live up to its promises.
When congress withheld Sl,140000 in
souvenir coins the situation changed It's

AN APPEAL.
Edwin Walker, counsel for the worlds
fair directory, addressed the court and
prayed for an appeal to the appellate
court which, he said, is in scs-
sion. The matter could be definitely
decided in a few days. He asked
also that the court fix a bond which
would act as a supersedeas. He said the
gravity Of the situation was increased by
the decision of the state court on this
same question, being opposed to the de-
cision of the federal courts There was
danger of an unpleasant conflict of au-
thority between the courts. He suggested
that it could be arranged to have the case
from the state court taken to the state
appellate court, and that both appellate
courts might by their action definitely
settle the matter.
District Attorney Milchrist said he
would ask that the order of injunction
prayed for by the government be issued
Judge Woods finally said the court
would announce its decision on the sub
ject of the appeal and supersedeas at 30
o'clock tomorrow morning.

SLAYER OF THE rwE1rmANs.
.Johnson's Attempt to Pass Off as In
sane Fails to Succeed.

sane Fails to Succeed.
Charleston, S. c., June 2s.-Oscar
johnson, the negro who is charged with
the butchering of Mr. and Mrs. Tweit-
man at Lincolnville two months ago, was
put on trial at the Berkeley session to-
day for murder He refused to plead to
the indictment and played insanity,
whereupon a special jury was impan-
cled to pass upon his sanity. Among
the witnesses examined was Dr. w. A.
O'Daniel one Of the medical staff of the
Georgia state lunatic asylum. DIR.
O'Daniel testified that in April, 1891,
Johnson was sent from the Georgia pen
itentiary TO the lunatic asylum.
He had been serving a life
sentence in the penitentiary
for numbering his wife in Augusta.
While in the asylum he made q PROPOSE
ton to one Of the colored attendants to
assist him to escape. The attendant,
however, informed DR.. O'Daniel and 1t
was then discovered that he had been
feigning insanity. Despite the warning,
Johnson. after being in the asylum for a
year, escaped by making a rope with his
bed clothing and lowering himself from
his window to the ground. Several other
witnesses testified as to the sanity of
the accused 1t was only after
his arrest for the murder of the
Tweitmans that he resumed the insanity
demeanOr. The special jury found that
johnson was not insane and that he was
capable Of understanding the charge
against him, pleading to the Indictment.
Upon this a jury was impaneled and
Johnson was put upon trlal FOR murder.
The case was clearly proved. The ac-
cu5ed during its continuance maintained
the demeanoP of an insane man and to all
appearance was totally unconscious Of
what was going on. The case viii be
given to the jury tomorrow.

BLoUNT REPORTED RESIGNED.
Inc state Department Not Informed
of the Fact if It is True.


Washington, JuneS.-If Minister Blount
has resigned his Office as minister to Ha-
waii, as stated in a San Francisco dis
patch published to-day, the fact is not
known at the state department. 1t is said
TO be improbable that such a communica-
lion would be sent by telegraph, and the
Hawaiian mail, which arrived at san
FRANCISCO on the steamer Australia yes
terday. will not reach the state depart
nehJ before next week. A telegram from
Minister Blount was received a few days
ago simply stating that he had received
ms credentials and had taken the oath of
once, so that if Mr. Blount has resigned
his action will surprise the department.
PROTECToRATE EXPECTED.
Honolulu, June Mo one knows how
or why, but the fact remains that the an
neXatlon party of Hawaii have settled in
their own minds that the United States
IS going to establish aprotectorate over the
islands. Annexation, except as something
IN the future, is not now discussed. The
cry annexation" or nothing is no longer
heard. 1t is reported that Minister
Blount has dropped a hint that pro-
tectorate is the proper thing to look for.
II the constant protestatiOns Of the
royahsts are to be believed, they have no
the decision of the United States is
known.
So far Claus Spreckels has not gained
much by his efforts to embarrass the gov
eminent financially Minister of Finance
Damon betrayS no concern about the mat
ter. Retaliation is now being discussed.
There is talk of stopping the subsidy of
$1,000 per month paid to Spreckels'
Oceanic steamship line. There was a
time when the Oceanic line was of great
value to Hawaii, but now that the new
Canadian Pacific line and the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company make Honolulu
port of call the anneXationists do not
deem the Oceanic line essential to their
prosperity.
A DYNAMITE SCARE.
Honolulu had a genuine dynamite scare
last night. During a concert at the Ha-
waiian palace, at which most of the peo-
pie of the town were assembled, the police
officers saw three men acting in a suspi-
clOus manner near the ex-queen's resi-
dence. When ordered to halt two of them
drove away in a hack and the third
ran away in the darkness. Near where
the man who ran away was standing the
officers discovered three dynamite bombs
and a small bottle of illuminate mercury
Company Fl of the volunteers was called
Oub luIu6ulaGelN ana guarded the pdIdCe
and barracks all night. 1t is thought by
the officers of the provisional govern
ment that the bombs were to have
been used to blow up the barracks in
which the provisional army was sleeping.
President Dole stated that he thought
that the finding of the bombs was proof
of the reported conspiracy to restore the
queen, as did Attorney General
Smith. The royalists are indig-
nant at the assertion. The govern
ment has quietly been organizing three
more companies Of volunteer soldiers.
Although no official news has yet been
made public, it is stated that the govern
ment has received a private letter from
Washington, assuring them that pro-
tectorato will be declared by the United
States.
