TIE SECOND INTERVIEW

Unproductive of Results, but tho Com-
mfssioners Feel Encouraged.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The second in
terview between the Hawaiian anncxa-
ton commissioners and the secretary Of
state held at the state department at
O'Clock this afternoon, was even shorter
than tho conference this morning and
quite as unproductive in results.
There was some informal talk
over tho annexation proposition.
and this was concluded by
au agreement that Secretary Foster
should again meet the commissioners
Tuesday morning next for conference.
The commissioners are saying very little
on the subject OF the ultimate accom-
plishment OF their object, but intimate
that they feel very much encouraged.
No arrangement has been made for their
reception by President Harrison, as the
recognition OF the new government by
this country removes any hesitation the
president might feel in giving the COM
missioners formal audience.

Tho Boot Sugar King Doesn't Want

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 4.-Henry Ok

who has just returned from Honolalu,
in an interview said tonight:
"By the treaties with Hawaii all
sugars ale admitted duty free. In this
manner they really obtained bounty
Of cents per pound on every pound of
sugar sent to the United States. This
2 cents per pound did not go into the
United States treasury, as did the 2
cents on all sugar imported by the
United States, but went directly
to the pockets Of these very
Hawaiian planters who today
are asking the United States to annex
the Sandwich islands. Hawaii annexed
and they will enjoy the same privileges
as American home sugar producers. It
will greatly injure the new American in
dustry of beet sugar which is just Begin
ming to develop itself, and which will in
few years, if not stopped by adverse
legislation, find every home in every
state in the union, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, supplied with sorghum or

"They have strong lobby at Wash

an economic standpoint, the United
States will want to burden itself with q
territory which has already cost us over

pv tho Assoo,stoa proas1

By the Associated Press1
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Secretary Fos-
ter made public today the full text Of
the dispatch announcing the Hawaiian
revolution received by him from Minis
ter Stevens on the 28th of January by
telegraph from San Francisco, and the
answer to be sent to the minister. The
information contained in the dispatch
sent by Stevens has already been made
public, but the reply OF Secretary Foster
is herewith given for the first time. 1t
is addressed to John L. Stevens, United
States minister, Honolulu, and reads !:
Your dispatch, telegraphed from San
Francisco, announcing revolution and
the establishment of provisional gov
ernment, received today. Your course
in recognizing the unopposed de facto
government appears to have been dis
Greet and in accordance with the facts.
The rule of this government has uni
formly been to recognize and enter into
relation with any actual gov
ernment in full possession of
the effective power, and with
the assent of the people. You will con-
tinue to recognize the new government
under such conditions. It ia trusted
that the change, besides conducting to
the tranquility and welfare of the
Hawaiian Islands, will tend to draw
closer the intimate ties of amity and
common interests which 80 conspicu-
ously and necessarily link them to the
United States. You will keep in con-
stant communication with the COM
mander of the United States naval force
at Honolulu with view to acting, if
need be, for the protection OF the inter-
ests and property of American citizens,
and aiding in the preservation of good
order under the changed condition re-
ported.
(Signed) JOHN w. FOSTER.
Secretary Foster also gave out for pub
lication statement defending the land
ing of the United States marines at
Honolulu.
The official announcement contained
in Minister Stevens's dispatch to Secre-
tary Foster that the representatives OF
sll the foreign governments would recog-
nize the provisional government OF
Hawaii, was evidently as much of sur
prise to the commissioners now here, as
it was to the general public, as it may
properly be construed to include the
representative of Great Britain. The
commissioners say it is probable
the British minister met the
United States minister and COM
municated verbally to him the informa-
ton that he just before notified the Off
cials of the new government of his
recognition, or that he intended doing
SO, which gave to Mr.. Stevens grounds
for the statement contained in the dis.
patch.
The commissioners say they have full
power to negotiate treaty of annexa-
ton with the United States, and al
though they have not been officially
recognized by the government yet, they
are encouraged to believe from the man
ner in which they have been treated
that formal recognition will soon fol.
low.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
A Different Story OF tho Killing of the
Cowboys.

Cowboys.
ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. "A Hot
Springs, S. D., special to the Pioneer
Press gives different story of the cause
of the trouble leading up to the killing
of white men by Indians from that pre-
viously told. 1t seems that four men
named George Hadewsy, John
Bennett, Rodney Royce and
Ed Cochrane, herders, belonging
to Stinger & Humphreys outfit, were
found dead in their cabin yesterday.
They had caught the Indians the day
before killing steer belonging to a herd
being held at the agency for delivery at
Pine Ridge. They threatened to report
the depredators to the agent, and this
so exasperated the Indians that they
made threats, which it seems they car
ried into execution several hours later.
1t is hardly probable any general trouble
will follow, and the people about the
agency are not alarmed.

1t is understood that the imperial for

American protectorate over Hawaii on
condition that Germany receives some
compensation in Samoa. The present
situation in Samoa can not be long toll

Brulee, who are a turbulen lot, hard to
keep in bounds and who really do not
belong to the Pine Ridge agency, where
they settled after the trou BILE of 1890.
The fellows figure that the concessions
which resulted in their being allowed to
remain there instead of being sent back
to Rosebud is sign that they can se-
cure greater favors by demanding them,
and they have leaders who foster this
idea.
The most significant thing, however,
is the fact that there has been commun-
ication between the various Indian
tribes all during the past year of
secret and apparently important nature.
There is also line OF communication
we'll established and constantly used be-
tween Indian Territory and British
America and the Indians all along the
line understand that the other bands
are kept posted on the movements.
ONE SOURCE OF TROUBLE.
One trouble at Pine Ridge is that
Captain Brown of the Eleventh infantry,
who is now here, ia not permanent
agent, and the Indians are inclined to
build on the possibility of his being
taken away any time. Captain Brown
has the affairs of the agency in good
shape, said DR.. McGillicuddy, but it
would not take much of a mistake to
start worse outbreak in the spring
than the one two years ago.

1t Was Two Sticks, Not Two Strikes,
Who Was Killed.
OMAHA, Feb. 4.-The Bees special
from Pine Ridge agency tonight says:
First Sergeant Joe Bush of the Indian
police, in charge of detachment sent
out this morning by Agent Brown, re.
turned this afternoon and told the
story OF the overtaking of the MUIR
derers. He was instructed by Agent
Brown to bring them in whether they re-
sisted or not. He said they were camped
near No Water camp. When the police
came up the murderers at once fred
and the police returned the fire. They
killed three of the party. Two Sticks
and one of his boys got away. 1t was
thought Two Sticks was seriously
wounded. The Indian police were high
ly complimented by Captains Brown
and Clsney. Captain Brown has an
other squad of men out after the miss-
ing two, with instructions to bring
them in. Captain Brown and Inspector
Cisney of the interior department do
not anticipate any further trouble.
The story of the trouble leading to the
killing of the whites, as near as can be
learned, is: Thursday number of cow
boys belonging to the beef camp OF
Isaac Humphreys, government con-
tractor, on the White river, at the mouth
of White Clay creek, 25 miles north OF
Pine Ridge, returned from town drunk.
During the evening they mistreated an
Indian named Two Sticks, finally driv-
ing from the camp and firing revolvers
at him. Two Sticks returned later at
night with a number of friends and
commenced a deadly fire on the cowboy
camp, killing three and mortally wound
ing fourth, who has since died.

leading soprano at the Second Pres

sembled at the Second Presbyterian
church yesterday morning, heard with
deep regret the last sacred song from
Miss Flemming, as leading soprano Of
this church. For nearly five years,
this bright, vivacious and very popu-
lar young lady has sung to this con-
gregation, always giving a satisfaction
that a leading soprano rarely does.
But it is gratifying to her hosts of ad-
mirers to know that she has given up
her post of duty so faithfully served in
this church to go to New York to
have her voice further cultivated by a
master. 1t is stated she will leave
this week, going via the Worlds
