( PRESIDENTIAL SURPRISE.
Cleveland withdraws the Ha-
waiian Treaty.
THE MESSAGE A SHORT ONE.
Reason for the Withdrawal, Opposition
to the Form Of Treaty.
The President Will Suggest Either by
Message, or Personally to Senators,
That Committee Be Appointed
to Visit Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Cleveland's
first executive communication to the
Senate came this afternoon, and proved a
surprise, not only to Republicans, but to
many Democrats. In a communication
Mr.. Cleveland withdrew the treaty with
Hawaii, sent to the Senate few weeks
ago by Harrison. The message was short,
simply requesting the Senate to transmit
to the executive the proposed treaty with
Hawaii. The message was received with
out comment on the floor of the Senate.
Republican senators regard this action
as in line with the course pursued by
President Cleveland in withdrawing the
Nicaraguan treaty sent to the Senate by
Arthur in the closing days OF his admin
istration. Democratic senators look upon
the act from two-fold point of view,
some taking the ground that it shows that
Cleveland is against annexation or Amer
lean domination OF any sort in the Ha-
waiian islands. while others hold he will
send in another treaty more to his liking.
1t is understood the reason for the with
drawal is because he was opposed to the
treaty in its present form. Whether or
not he will favor making another treaty
and whether it will be an annexation
treaty or not cannot be said on authority
at this time. but q gentleman who has
talked with the president On the subject
said this afternoon that another treaty
will be made
1t is lntimated the president will sug-
gest. either by message or personally to
senators, that a committee be appointed
to visit the Hawaiian islands this year
during the interval between adjournment
OF the special session of the Senate and
reconvening of the next Congress. Cleye-
land heretofore has been quite SOLICITORS
on this point, and made Inquiries as to
whether or not resolutions providing ior
such commission had gone through.
He learned they had not, but that the
Senate had authority alone to provide for
such commission, probably to consist of
Senators, and that the contingent fund of
the Senate could be drawn on for that
purpose
Nominations sent in today were re-
ceived and laid over inasmuch as they
could not be referred until the committees
had been organized.
None of the Hawaiian commissioners
are ready to express an opinion upon the
meaning OF the withdrawal of the treaty.
we are W1lling,'' said one, to discuss
the matter with a new secretary OF state
and endeayor to meet the views of the
present administration, but whether we
would discuss a treaty looking to any
other form OF union with the United
States l cannot say at present."
Secretary Gresham was asked whether
or not there was any explanation to be
made OF the withdrawal.
No. he replied, sat least, not at

now, amt it?' Fitzsimmons said moth
ing, though joining IN the laugh the re-
mark provoked. This was taken as per-
sonal affront by Abingdon, who spoke
his mind freely, Netting Fitzsimmons
considerably.
The latter arose and declared his will
ingness to do anything in the way of
making things lively for anybody con-
cerned. Mitchell then took hand in the
argument and declared that every man in
the Hall party was gentleman. At this
juncture the president came in and the

Fitzsimmons said the only thing that de-
tered him from acting rashly was the
fact that he was a guest.of the club.
Later Fitzsimmons made q statement

USING THE GOLD RESDRTE.
Solicitor-General Aldrich Looks
Up the Matter.
HE FILES A BRIEF OPINION.
All Bonds and Legal Tender Redeem.
able in Coin.
That Means Either Gold and Silver Now
and Did So Mean at the Time
of the Passage of the
Law

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Some time ago
when the question of the power OF the Sec
rotary of the treasury TO use any part OF
the 100000, 600 gold reserve was under
consideration, Solicitor General AIdrich
was instructed by the attorney general to
look up the matter. Aldrich' s opinion in
brief is:
First-The secretary of the treasury has
continuing power to issue bonds to re-
deem the legal tender OF 1862 and 1868, and
re-issued under the act OF May 81, 1878,
but am of the opinion it is not at all
necessary.
Second-There is no requirement of the
redemption of legal tender to be made in
gold. As to the policy OF using silver,
am not prepared to urge this action. II
might cause a panic, but 1t could I'M
doubtedly be done.
Third-The Secretary of the Treasury
has no power to issue bonds redeemable
in either gold or silver. The law stipu-
lates they shall be redeemed in coin,
and did 50 mean at the time Of the pas
sage of the law.
This opinion while asked and pre-
pared, was not delivered, owing to the
fact that the occasion did not demand il.
Mr. Aldrich says: s'The belief that there
is no positive provision of law requiring
that 500, OO0, 600 reserveIshall be kept, as,
in my opinion, is correct. 1t is also true
that under the law, as l understand it,
all legal tender notes may be redeemed in
coin. This was the case at the period
fixed for the resumption of specie pay
ments, to-wit: Jan. l, 1879, under the
law of 1879

He Tells Washington People That Utah
Is Ready for Statehood
WASHINGTON, March Especial J.
In an Interview here today, Hon. Henry
c. Lett, who is candidate for governor
of Utah, said the party in that territory
was organized on a solid Democratic
basis, the population was steadily in :
creasing and Utah was ready for state
hood and no longer needed the services of
a commission.
People OF the states are making applica-
tions for places in the territory. Presi-
dent Cleveland is understood to already
have given them plain talk by declaring
that he will bestow territorial offices only
on bona fde residents. The case was
brought up by Virginia man who wants
to be attorney for New Mexico.
Colonel Sam Merritt who has been here
for the past ten days, has left town, but
will soon return.
Ex-Judge Anderson and D. S. Murray
of Salt Lake are here.

STAY OF PROCEEDINGS.

An Order Which Prevents the Southern
Pacific Taking Texas Line.
WASHINGTON, March9 --Judge Jackson
OF the Supreme Court in chambers signed
an order granting stay of further pro-
ceedings in the circuit court of New Or
leans, in the case of Carey ct al. VS.. the
Houston and Texas Central road. Fore
closure proceedings were Instituted some
time ago in the United States circuit
court at Galveston TO sell the road and a
large land grant amounting in the aggre-
gate to about $4,000. 600. Stockholders
interviewed alleging the proceedings were
without jurisdiction and were fraudulent.
and designed to turn the property over
to the Southern Pacific company.
Notwithstanding this appeal, motion
was made in the court below to turn the
property over to the alleged purchaser at
the foreclosure suit and it is to prevent
this that the order of Judge jackson was
made. The order allows proceedings
against the receiver for an accounting
and for his removal.

Interests of the People of Salt Lake
Looked After by The Herald-Mr-
Green Was Interviewed in Denver
by a Herald Correspondent.

DESvER, March g. Especial. The
HERALD correspondent here has left moth
ing undone to protect the interests OF the
people of Salt Lake in the contemplated
deal for the erection of a copper smelter-
Mr.. Green said to THE HERALD CORE
spondent Monday night. on the corner of
Broadway and Fifteenth street, within a
hall block OF the Broadway theatre, that
she smelter plant be proposed to erect in
Salt Lake would cost $500, 900.
This enormous amount caused your
correspondent to investigate. Everybody
IN Denver was interviewed that was sup
posed to know anything about the bust
ness, and since Mr.. Green has denied his
interview with your correspondent the
wires between here and Bridgeport,
Conn, aud Newark, n. J., have been
kept hot.
Your correspondent is now in posses
sion of sufficient reliable information to
state that the Bridgeport Copper COM
pany, which has the greatest electrolytic
plant in the world, with all the latest i'm
proYements, cost only S5O.OOO Charles
H. Payne is the treasurer, and is author
lty for the statement. The plant was
erected two years ago.
The BaIbach Smelling and Refining
company Of Newark. n. j., erected their
plant at the same time at a cost OF $S5, 0OO-
This plant is also an electrolytic plant,
but the Bridgeport plant is the largest in
the world.
To erect the largest matte furnace in the
world cost at the outside S15, 900, and for
the largest anode plant $40 900 would be
the outside. So allowing that Mr.. Green
would erect the largest IN the world, it
should not cost over S75, 900 exclusive of
the value of the ground.
The HERALD correspondent is in receipt
of telegram from Durango which states
bbat the foreman of the smelter there, of
which S. NJ. Green is president, employs
an average of 100 men per day. Mr.
Green stated to a HERALD correspondent
Monday night that be had lbs men work
ing regular. 1t is understood that Mr..
Green promised the people of Durango
that the smelters would require the SER
vices of at least 400 men on an average the
year round.
At Trinidad, Colo. 1t is stated that he
was at the head of the smelter scheme
that erected a smelter there some time
ago but which never run for single
hour.
The schemers at the time they received
the bonus, gave verbal agreement to the
people OF Trinidad that they would en-
ploy 600 men per day
This was absolutely false as they never
employed a man since the smelter was
constructed.

AN INDIAN OUTBREAK.
Ranchmen Moving Their Wives and

Open Warfare Between Settlers and
Indians on the Newly Opened Crow
Reservation in Montana.

CHICAGO, March "a special from
Laurel, Mont, to the Nelcs-R Record says:
Open warfare has broken out between the
settlers on the newly opened portion OF
the Crow reservation and Indians. The
widest excitement exists at Wilsey and
surrounding country, and ranchmen are
moving their wives and children to places
of safety and preparing to defend their
claims. The first bloodshed occurred this
morning when Little Face, Crow In
dian, was killed.
The Indians undertook to drive off q
settler named Henderson. They sue
ceeded at first, but Henderson returned
with friends. The Indians congregated
and sent Little Face forward to tell Hen
derson that if he stayed on the land
twenty-four hours he would be killed.
Henderson said he would not move, and
Little Face whistled and gang of Indians
poured out of the woods.
All the same time Little Face reached for
his gun. but Henderson was too quick
for him and shot him through the heart.
With q yell the other Indians disappeared
into the woods. The Crows are making
medicine and preparing for actual war;

Wyoming Political Circles Excited over
the Theft of the Governors Trousers.

the Theft of the Governors Trousers.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., March Especial. I
Wyoming political circles are excited
over the rape of Governor Osborne's best
pair OF trousers, which occurred on Fri
day morning last. The governor has
rooms adjoining DIR. Vim. A. Olmstead
a rather prominent Democratic politician.
Early Friday morning. while lying in
bed but partially awake, the governor
saw Olmstead enter his room, pick up his
trousers and walk out with them
He thought Olmstead was trying to play
a practical joke, and finished his nap.
Later on when the trousers were not re-
turned the governor concluded the affair
was not SO much of a joke as he first
thought, and when he remembered that
he had 600 in one of the pockets he was
confirmed in this conclusion.
He procured another pair of trousers
and started after Olmstead. The doctor
denied having taken the pants, and
threatened to thrash the governor if he
persisted in charging him with the theft
Governor Osborne placed the matter in
the hands OF United States Marshal Ran
kin for investigation. Later in the day
the pants were found in the lumber room
of the building with the pockets empty
Olmstead left the city yesterday. and it is
surmised will not return.

Mr.. Teller presented the credentials Of

Montana, because OF the failure of the
legislature to elect a successor to Sanders.
Mr.. Teller asked that they be laid on the

larity OF such nominations, of which he
understood there were several and it was
so ordered.
1t was decided that when the Senate adj

Mr.. Mitchell of Oregon, presented a
joint resolution to amend the constitu-
ton to provide for the election of United

to discussion as to whether legislative
business could be performed at a special
session called for executive purposes. The
general tenor of the remarks was to the
effect that while there was no law to pre-
vent it, general Gustom had been to re-
ceive resolutions and bills, but not to act
on anything which the Senate could not
deal with exclusively without concurrence
of the House.
Mr.. Henderson of Nebraska presented
a resolution excluding such business, but
it was allowed to go over without action

SECRETARY CARLISLE.

He Authorizes Statement Regarding Up
holding the Government Credit.
WASHINGTON March 9.-Secretary Car
Isle this morning authorized the state
ment that he would exercise all the power
and discretion invested in him to uphold
the credit of the government and MAIN
tain the parity of gold and silver This
statement ie made to brush away rumors
about what ne contemplated doing as to
maintaining the gold reserve intact, as to
issuing bonds or as to paying United
States notes or United States treasury
notes in silver when free gold is ex-
hausted.
The example of the Denver banks in
offering the treasury 81, 000, 900 in gold has
been followed by Chicago bankers, who
today offered $500, 600. II is believed that
bankers OF other cities will do likewise.
There is a feeling of relief as TO the gold
balances, unless the exports Saturday are
unusually heavy, of whieh no informa-
ton is yet received. the treasury will have
ample gold to supply the demand.

NEW YORK, March s.-The Posts Lon
don special says: Further inquiries
have been made on behalf of President
Cleveland concerning the readiness OF
English banks, insurance and financial
houses to take $4,000, 600 government
bonds, provided the bonds are kept here
without realization for nine months. The
feeling on the whole is favorable, if in
terest at 81 per cent. is secured. Holders
OF consols would readily turn out these
in exchange for American government
securities at higher interest. Accordingly
consols further declined yesterday.
The market for American stocks re-
fuses to continue to rise, however, be-
cause OF belief that any measure to Sc
cure stable currency in America will not
be effective except in the stoppage of sill
yer purchases.

CHICAGO, March 9.-Jim Keene, &C.
cording to the Euening Journal, stands to
win or lose $40, 200, 600 on the Chicago

contract wheat in Chicago, estimated
at 10, 200, 600 bushels, and as much more
throughout the west, is controlled by
Eggleston. Keene's advances up to date,
it is said. are at least SIS, 900, GOO. and pos
sibly SO, 100000 more will be required to
complete the DEAL The operation is said

GOLD Received.
The Treasury Makes Considerable Gain

The Treasury Makes Considerable Gain
in Its Free Gold.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The treasury
today received gold at several points. In
New York a gain was made of 800, 900,
while at New Orleans it received 500, OOO
IN exchange for like amount of silver
certificates. No intimation is yet re-
ceiYed that only gold will be exported
Saturday from New York and at the
present rate of exchange it is not thought
any will be taken out of the country
The treasury has more than Sc, 600, 600 in
free gold and in the usual condition OF
trade this is likely to be increased rather
than diminished.
1t was quite plainly intimated in the
treasury department today that as be-
tween the issue OF bonds and the use of a
portion of the 500, 600 600 gold reserve,
if necessary to maintain the parity OF
gold and silver, Secretary Carlisle will
resort to the latter plan but he does not
anticipate any necessity will arise tc
do so.
