WASHINGTON, D. c., January 81
When asked his opinion to-day on the
question Of the annexation Of Hawaii,
Senator Faulkner said 10 the REGISTER
correspondent:
''This is matter that VIII require
the most careful and serious considera-
tion before action is taken, aud any eX-
pression Of opinion at this time must
not be regarded as final. We must be
Quided by the course Of events. For
the United States TO annex the
Hawaiin Islands would be q very seri-
Gus step, the outcome of which no one
could fOreSee. 1t would be q radical
departure from a policy which has been
rigidly adhered TO since the foundation
OF government and il would be likely
/ 10 lead 10 entangling alliances,
which in the past 10 has always
been our aim 10 avoid. l believe that

clously consider the question, without
auy interference, 10 will come TO the
conclusion that our best interests can
be served by something short Of annexa-
tion. But if England should interfere,
as it's said she means TO do, and assume
a threatening or unfriendly attitude,
then the result will probably be differ
ent. III it comes TO question of our
taking the Islands or Of England get

try will force Congress to take course
Il otherwise might not take.

HAMBURG, January 31.-For sixteen
DAYS the three sailors rescued from the
Norwegian ship, Theklas subsisted on
human flesh.
The three strangled a fourth COM
panion and lived on raw strips OF meat
cut from his corpse.
From the time OF their rescue until
to-day the three unfortunates have been
insane from their sufferings In the rig
ging OF their laundering ship.
Two of them recovered sufficiently
to-day to tell the story OF the Thecklas
voyage.
The Theckla was In heavy weather
they say from December 2, when she
left Philadelphia.
Her decks were flooded almost con-
stantly, deck houses and rails were
swept away and the steering apparatus
as broken.
When 1t was found that there was no
hope OF bringing the ship into port, the
master mate and eight seamen got
In a boat.
The other boats had been smashed by
the waves before they could be lowered.
Nine men were obliged to remain In the
rigging.
They were unable to get food frem
below and five Of them made Insane by
exposure and priyation0 Jumped over
board.
The other four remained aboard from
December 20 till January z, the day OF
the rescue.
On the thirteenth day lots were
drawn TO determine which one OF the
four should be killed and eaten.

ATHENS, January 31.-The Island OF
Zante was shaken early this morning
by an earthquake.
In the town OF Zante many houses
were wrecked and the occupants ran In
their night clothes into the street.
The roof OF the prison fell In ana
many prisoners were wounded. Inc
guard was doubled to prevent the pris-
oners from escaping and to suppress
disorder, consequent upon the panic
among them. The walls OF the prison.
which have been sprung and cracked,
were braced.
The hospital was shaken partly from
its foundations, all the floors settled,
and the roof sank several feet. The al
tendanTs ran from the building and
we're induced with difficulty, half an
hour later, to return and help remove
the patients to another part OF the
town.
Two hours later the town was shaken
by repeated shocks, houses tell In all
quarters and the prison became so un-
safe that many prisoners were removed
The people In panic hed from the
houses and crowded the streets ana
market place.
Scores of families left the town TO
camp in the fields on the outskirts.
Many dead bodies have been found In
the ruins and hundred or more are re-
ported to have been injured severely.
It has been impossible to get further de-
tails. The government has sent out
troops with tents and provisions Tor the
relief OF the homeless.

Late last night the lower boom at the
mouth OF Cheat, az Point Marion, Pa,
gave way 10 the tremendous pressure OF
ice and logs and 6.O00 logs, belonging
IN DeYing & Son, who operate the larg-
est lumber cutting establishment = "a
that noted timber stream, were iet loose
into the Monongshela. The fee gorge.
which had also been kept In check by
the boom, went with the logs,
which adds strong element OF
improbability 70 securing the tim
her this side OF Pittsburg,
as, being mixed with the ice. they can
not be reached by boats. The logs
were, for the most part, poplar, and the
average price Of log 0oated from head
waters to the mouth OF the Cheat ls
about SO. This will make heavy loss
to the firm. The logs above their upper
boom remain intact.
When the boom burst, followed by the
rush OF logs and ice, some fears were
entertained regarding the piers for the
Baltimore and Ohio extension bridge
across Cheat river, which are not yet
completed, but they escaped unharmed,
which demonstrated that no force OF
Cheat river will ever again be feared for
them. The fee is now all out OF Cheat
and Monongahela rivers above the
mouth OF the 6rst-named stream.

CHARLESTON, W. VA, January 81
Col. w. w. Arnett and Prosecuting At

", appeared before the Governor this
morning in reference TO the application
for a pardon for Melissa McGlumphy,
who was sentenced to the penitenuary
for feIoniously stabbing Ada Foster.
Several hours were consumed Ia the
arguments, and the Governor took the
matter under advisement. 1t Is known
that the Governor had about decided 10
exercise the pardoning power In this
case, as the woman's attorneys made q
plea In her favor which would admit OF
no other course.
Mr.. Howard aud the Ohio county
people at the State capital made plain
statement Of the facts and the Gov
ernor decided to send DR.. Bruce, the
State prison physician, TO Wheeling TO
make an examination Of the Medium
ply woman's condition. What the re-
suit OF that examination was could not
be aseertained, but it is not thought
that Gov. Fleming will grant the par

Mr.. Harmer, of Pennsylvanla. Approves
the Action Taken at Honolulu
WASHINGTON, January Silt is
stated to-day that the report of last
night that the protest OF England
against che annexation of Hawaii by the
United States would be presented to-day
was premature. It was said at the
State Department that II had not been
received and there was no intimatiOn
that il would come to-day.
DIR. Mott Smith, the Hawaiian repre-
septative, expects England TO protest,
and protest vigorously. he thinks
there will be a concentration at Homo
lulu as rapidly as possible Of the naval
forces OF England now IN the Northern
Pacific for the purpose OF making q
demonstration.
But it is not probable in the opinion
lof DR.. Smith that this will affect the
sediment OF the people in any way.
The commercial interests OF Hawaii
are practically ali with the United
STATES and although the sympathies OF
the native population, under the in
hhuence Of the members OF the royal
tfsmilies are undoubtedly English, still
kthe property interest is In favor Of
political Incorporation with the United
States.
In Congress the situation continues
70 be privately discussed by members.

Admission OF the Islands to
Uncle Sans Protecting Care
No Vessels Sent to Honolulu.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., January 81
The discussion of the Hawaiian ques-
tion at the Cabinet meeting to-day was
informal, and there being nothing be-
fore the body for its consideration, no
action was taken. The matter OF the
reception OF the commissioners OF the
provisional government OF Hawai- con-
Germs only the President and Secretary
of State, with whom their business must
be transacted.
The commissioners, OF course, Will De
received courteOusly and their PROPOSE
tion listened to with sympathy out the
recommendation that may be MADE
thereon will be determined by itS terms
1t nav be said that there will be no
precibitate action upon the matter u
, cannot be disposed Of In day, nor 10
week. There will be no message 70 Con
gress from the President until after the
Commissioners have been heard ana
then only, it is surmised, in case fav-
Orable recommendation upon their pro-
position shall have been decided upon
Representative Harter, OF Ohlo' Is
one of the Congressman who nave oe-
cided opinions upon the question OF the
annexation of Hawaii, which are antag-
onistic 20 the expressions OF q large
number Of his associates.
1--WE don't want the Islands" SAID
Mr.. Harter, ''under any conditions, and
] am decidedly opposed to max
ing them part OF our terri
tory. The whole scheme is a JOB
intended to benefit the few sugar
planters who are anxious to secure the
two cents pound bounty paid by the
United States on the native product.
Their crop amounts 20 many millions OF

they should get that bounty there will
be a nice SUN OF from $4,000 900 TO
$4,000. 600 10 divide among these sugar

There is seemingly no preparation
being made az the navy department. Tor

nine hundred marines would be sent 10

lacks confirmation. The flying squad
ron there consists of the cruisers San

boat Yorktown anu cruiser Atlanta are
expected at BarbOdOes in few days
on their way 10 this country,
TO take part in the naval display next
spring and they can easily be reached
there by telegraph, II 10 is decided 70
send any OF them to Honolulu. 1t is
probable, however, that no eXtraordin-
ary action will be taken by the United
States Government until after confer
ence has been held between the Ha-
waiian annexation commissioners now
on their way TO Washington and the
Secretary of State.
This conference will be held Saturday
morning at the State Department.
