About Hazardous Risks.
The report suggests that provision
should be made for placing with compan-
les not authorized TO do business in this
state hazardous risks which authorized
companies will not take, upon such CON-
panies making to the insurance depart
ment sworn statement of their fnan-
cial condition. Such provision would
be advanta Seous TO many business and
manufacturing men. The report renews
the recommendations Of two years ago
with respect to more stringent legisla
tion with regard TO so-called Sc.
cret, benevolent, charitable and
fraternal organizations aud asso-
ciaJions which are doing a
life insurance business pure and simple
with grain Of a secret benevolent.
charitable and fraternal thrown in for
the sole purpose of evading the insurance
laws. The aggregate amount of insur-
ance carried by such organizations is
large and the state thereby is being de
frauded Of revenue and the citizens Of
that protection and safeguard which the
insurance laws were designed to give
them. On this point the report says:
All Termed Insurance Companies"
81 therefore recommend such amend
ment of the insurance lawsas will define
any secret, benevolent, charitable or
fraternal organization or association
which shall issue any policy or death
benefit certificate or promise of any kind
to pay any benefit of any kind, other than
sick benefits to its members and the burial
charges of deceased members to be an
insurance company within the meaning
Of and subject TO the insurance laws of
the state; and in recommending this
am not seeking in any way to injure the
purely secret, benevolent charitable and
fraternal institutions Of the state.
The report closes with the suggestion
that the law be so amended that com.
panies desiring to do business in the
state may pass lump sum for license
in lieu Of licenses for their agents. and
when so licensed their agents should be
required simply TO procure certificates
OF their appointment by such companies

the treaty for annexation, this being
the form in which it is believed the
final result of the negotiations will
find expression, is to be signed and
transmitted to the President. The
probability, therefore, is in day or
two, at any rate before the close of the
week, the whole matter will be before
the Senate in the shape of a treaty 10
be ratified, amended or rejected. In
the present temper of the Senate and
in view OF the almost unanimous pub
lie sentiment in favor of annexation
there is little or no doubt that body
will give its assent promptly to the
arrangement concluded by the adj
ministration. 1t may be there will
be some amendments suggested in
the minor and non-essential details,
but broadly speaking there seems to
be no serious opposition to the prin-
ciple of annexation.

Admiral Brown Talks OF the Conditions
on the Islands.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 14.-Admiral
Brown, U. S. N, who is visiting in
this city after his return from Ha-
wall, where he was in command OF
the Pacific squadron, to-day received
about a dozen letters from Honolulu,
under date of February LIST, two weeks
after the Provisional Government
was established.
He says: 'rThese letters serve to
make the whole question of the re-
cent revolution in Hawaii clear to
me, coming as they do from both
Americans and Hawaiians. 1t is evil
dent to my mind that the only people
in Hawaii who oppose annexation to
the United States are Queen Liliuo-
kalani, her Ministers, the royal fam
lily, two members of the last Cabinet
and some natives who have lost all
hope of political preferment. The
question of annexation was discussed
in the islands for the last two or three
years. The desire for annexation has
spread rapidly during the last year,
am OhO OhiS HACSIAOh bG shAA III uOuoA
was as to how it could be brought
about. The oldest men recognized
that the United States could not well
encourage or support any government
looking toward annexation until
there was n radical change in the
form of government, and while many
plans for bringing about the desired
change from a constitutional mon
archy were discussed, nothing definite
was agreed upon. At one time it ap-
peared as if the Queen would consent
to change the form of government,
provided she and the other members
of the royal family should be literally
pensioned. She was badly advised
when she, on the 18th of January, so
far forgot her oath of Office as to re-
sort to unconstitutional methods and
declared that she would promulgate a
new constitution. / cannot but think
that her advisers were disloyal to her
and had in view the conditions which
followed so closely.
"The Queen became a revolutionist,
and had she not been checked and de-
throned she would have made herself
and the commercial inter
ests and all foreign interests would
have been jeopardiZed. The opium
and lottery advocates would, by their
large gains and profits, have had COM
plete control OF the islands by reason
Of their money power.n

1t VIII Be Sent to the Senate Probably
To-day.
WASHINGTON, Feb. HIT is I'M
derstood tonight that the treaty pro-
viding for the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands will be sent to the
beyond possibility that its transmits
sion may be delayed. The treaty, it
is said, is not very long document,
and covers the subject matter only so
far as necessary to secure the object
sought with as little delay as posi-
BILE.
A well-informed authority says the
treaty contains a provision for its
reference to the Provisional Govern
ment of Hawaii after its ratification
by the United States Senate, to be re-
turned to this country with the APP
proval of the Hawaiian Government
within two months after its arrival
in Honolulu. Then, upon the treaty,
if Congress should be in session, or as
soon thereafter as Congress convenes.
the legislation will be had necessary
to provide form of government for
the new Territory and to carry out
the financial obligations imposed by
the treaty.
1t contains no reference to the sugar
bounty at all.
1t will be transmitted to the Senate,
accompanied by a message from the
President, who, it is said, will cover
the historic features of the annexa-
ton movement from the beginning,
fifty years ago, and make strong
in favor of annexation.

the matter was to some extent left
open, but the steamer that sails to-
morrow will convey to Stevens the
fullest assurances of the Administra-
TONS respect for him, and the infor-
nation that this act has met the
approval of his superiors. There will
also be sent to Commander Wiltse a
warm note of approval from Secretary
Tracy.

it is the only Milwaukee Beer

LINCOLN AND DOUGLAS.
Period of Formative Anti-S layery Thought
Treated by Professor Woodburn

The ninth lecture OF the university ex-
tension course was given last night In the
library of HIgh-school No. l on the subject
of THE Lincoln Douglas Debate and the
Contest of 1s6O.' DR.. Woodburn reviewed
briefly the political events leading up to
this He spoke In part as follows:
From 1913 to 1858 the question as to the pow
er OF Congress over slavery in the Territories
the dominant political question before the Ma
tion AT last the question had been settled by
deliverance from the highest court In the realm
in the bred Scott dicsiOn. Settledl 1t was all
but settled. The court had merely succeeded in
putting into legal language the true character of
the great issue on two sides OF which
the cOntending forces Of the Nation
were to be arrayed. 1t made clear for the first
time that there were arrayed in an Urepressiblo
conflict antagonistic and enduring forces, and as
between these forces the mandate of revered
court might demand peace. but there could be no
peace. Americans are prOverbial for their spirit
OF law and order, but the duty to the form OF
law. the weight of influence of one OF their own
institutions. the mandamus OF their own jul
dietary. could not quiet or suppress the strug-
gle OF people. Public and political policies
not determined by court decisions. Two
civilizations were in conflict The will of q SOW
ereign people was not to be determined by the
Judgment of an institution of their own creation.
Was this decision law! Hard as it was to an en-
hgntened conscience and to human hearts, it in
Dictated law. But 1t was not the Interpretation of
the conscious thoughts and intention of that day
and generation. but the legal and public lnindiOf
another and former age transplanted TO that.
Was agitation in opposition TO such decision. or
In favor iof reversal illegitimare unpatriOticl
1t was the inevitable spirit of the aCe
A protest against the decision and the public
policy which an acceptance OF 1t involved was
but plea that the march of civilization should
not be stayed. The bred Scott decision marks
the last effort to settle the slavery controversy
within the then interpreted powers of the Con-
stitution and the law. 1t had risen for settle
ment to a higher tribunal. The statement
or the issue was made In two great
speeches. one made by Lincoln in Spring
field. June Il, 1858, and one made
by Douglas at Chicago. July 9. 1853. 1t was
in this speech of LincOln's that he used the fam
Gus expression "A house divided against itself
cannot stand etc. Later in the year Seward,
in speech at Rochester, came to the sa me con-
clusion as Lincoln, although entirely independ-
ent of him."

of the arrayal of the party forces in 1880

WING MURDER CASE.

Hendricks County Court Crowded This
Week to Hear the Evidence.
speciaI TO the Indianapolis journal
DASvILLx, Ind, Jan. 20.-The Wing
murder trial has been occupying the time
OF the Hendricks Circuit Coart since
Wednesday. 1t will be remembered that
last June Is Wing shot and killed Francis
N. adams, a neighbor, one mile north of
Brownsburg In the preliminary trial. o
few days afterward. Wing testified that he
did the killing in self-defense claiming
tina the deceased tried TO ride over him on
a horse; that he was knocked down several
times, and then threw his gun over his
shoulder and fired either to kill or scare.
The defendent stated at the time that
he had his gun with him
for the purpose of hunting squirrels.
The theory of the State is that Wing was
IN ambush awaiting for the arrival of Adj
ans. Tor the week previous TO the killing
Adams. who was thought to be demented.
had been turning his cattle into an oats
field of the defendant. and IL was while at
tenn ting TO drive the cattle out that the
shooting was done. By the testimony OF a
number of witnesses who made close ex-
amin alton, there were between 200 and $50
shot entered the face of Adams. There are
over q hundred witnesses TO testify In the
case. Considerable interest is manifested
and the courtroom at Danville has been
we'll rlIed since the trial began.
TIE jury In the case of the state VS.. Ben
Wing, charged with the murder of Frank
Adams. returned a verdict tins morning.
after being out twelve hours, hxlng the
punishment at two years In prison. The
verdict was evidently much of a compro-
mise. as for many ballots the Jury stood six
for conviction and six for acauittel. Wing
confidently expected acquittal, and cried
like child when the verdict wes read.
