having six fine suits of clothes made
for him and he will live like king.

TO REDUCE RED TAPE.
Mr.. Dockery's Committee Will Out
OFF Superhuous Employees
And Cut Down the salaries'of Others and
Raise Cain Generally-Great Abuses
Have Grown Up In Minor Affairs
of the Government Recently.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Mr. Dock
cry, of Missouri, and his committee,
have started in to reduce the amount
of red tape used in the departments of
the government, to cut off superfluous
employees, to cut down salaries and
raise cain generally The fact is, Mr..
Dockery has attacked real evil, and
as he is an honest and earnest man, he
bids fair to accomplish much good, If
he will as expected, conduct the inves-
legations of his committee on fair and
nonpartisan basis.
Great abuses have grown up in the
minor affairs of the conduct of the
government machinery. There are
many employees whose services can be
dispensed with, as they represent
former conditions that have passed
away, and a system of red tapeism has
grown up that should be succeeded by
modern way, and bookkeeping, open,
straight and fair.
In the old times, people in transac-
tions were full of the idea of seals and
signatures and formalities. 1t is differ
ent now, and those old fub-dubs are as
obsolete now as are flint-locl<s and
priming pans and tinder.
If Mr.. Dockery succeeds in simplify
ing matters in the way of keeping
government accounts, he will do good
thing

~ In Hawaii IA source OF Qualification

nexatiou an ImpOesibilty.

Honolulu, March 17.-If the friends
Of annexation were elated on the re-
ceipt of the news brought by the steam-
ships China and Honolulu ON the goth
and 22d of February, they were cores
pondingly depressed when the Bclgic
put into Honolulu unexpectedly March
., and it was found that the treaty con-
summated by Secretary Foster and the
Hawaiian commissioners had not
reached vote in the u. S. senate.
With the exception of Minister
Stevens and few other Ameri-
cans, no one had expected a treaty
to be arranged so speedily In fact it
was known that certain of the commis-
sioners had arranged their business
affairs here with view to being absent
at least six months and the fact that
SO important measure had been pre-
pared within few days led to the be-
lief that the people of the United
States appreciated the situation here,
and were desirous of applying remedial
agencies to the difficulties under which
the provisional government has been
laboring.

party inothe islands was the source of
much qualification to the royalists, and
it was not late in the day before the
assertions were boldly made that the
treaty would never pass the senate;
that annexation was an inn
possibility, and that the new
congress would carry out the policy
of the opposition to the acquiring
of foreign territory, and would recog-
nize the autonomy of Hawaii at least to
the extent of agreeing to the accession
of Kaiulani, heiress apparent, supported
possibly, by an American protectorate.
The published letter of Secretary Fos-
ter to Minister Stevens, from their
point of view, sustained the adherents
of monarchial rule in the belief that the
course of Stevens and Capt Wiltz, of
the cruiser Boston, was not counte-
nanced by the Washington government
Minister Stevens, when seen by the
Associated Press correspondent, ex-
pressed himself as perfectly satisfied
with the comments of Secretary Fos-
ter's letter Mr.. Stevens thought the
situation had undergone no change.

that policy, but preferred to have 1t take the
form OF unanimous consent rather than OF a res

came from the democratic side Of the chamber,

New York, March 10. "A special to
the World from Washington says!
president Cleveland has appointed
ex-Congressman James II. Blount, OF
Georgia, chairman of commission to
visit Hawaii, to investigate and report
upon the condition of affairs at present
existing there, and the part borne in
the recent revolution by representa-
tives of the United States. 1t is be-
lieved that Admiral Browa, and either
Gen. Schofeld or Capt. Howison, of the
navy, will be Mr., Blount's colleagues on
the commission.
"Ellis II. Mills, clerk in the state
department and at one time private sec.
retary to eX-Secretary Bayard, has been
detailed to act as secretary Of the COM

CHICAGO, March 2O.-Edmond Nit
chell, of the Daily Telegraph and News
paper Co., of Australia, is in the city.
Mr.. Mitchell was seen Sunday and
spoke enthusiastically of the great
island in the south Pacific. Among
things he said; Few Americans realize
the vast area of Australia and its min
eral and wealth. 1t is larger than the
whole of North America, yet l have
met many intelligent Americans who
think that our country is not
larger than Texas They also
have but vague idea of our
productions and exports. Australia has
the richest tin mines in the world,
yielding ninety-three per cent. of the
pure articles The culture of wheat
and other cereals is growing industry,
our climate and soil being peculiarly
adapted for them. Our people are wild
with delight over the success of the
tar iff reform principle and the prospects
of the wool industry are very bright
Business of all kinds, however, is
languishing from the effects of over
specializing in real estate"

CINCIENATI, March 16.-At the gov

service officers there is current storv
to the effect that while here Gen. w. II.
Jackson, Of Tennessee, brother of Judge
Jackson, recently eXaltedto the supreme
bench at Washington, gave it out as
common opinion at the capital that
Capt, Thomas l. Porter, of Chicago,
would be most likely appointed as chief
of the secret service bureau, as he has
ambitions in that direction.
Capt, Porter has had much experience
in the service. He served in the union
army during the war, and at the begin
ming of Cleveland's first term was ap.
pointed to a position in the service
where his qualifications as a detective
were soon recognized. He was pro-
NOTED to the head of the Western divis

CHICAGO, March 1G.-Fire in the Bor.
den block, at the corner of Randolph
and Dearborn streets, at 1915 o'clock
Wednesday morning, caused a loss OF
$4,000, and created great excitement
for the time. The third floor of the
building is occupied by agents for vari.

quantity of explosives in the offices.
Three tiremen went into the blazing
building and removed the dangerous
stuff, while the chemical engines played
upon their clothing, An explosion was
thus averted.

PITTsBURGH, Pa, March 1S.--A tele-
gram from Uniontown, Pa, says that
H. c. Frick, the partner of Andrew
Carnegie, may have to face another big
strike this summer, this time in the
Connellsville coke region, where a ma
jority of the ovens are owned by the
FriclS company, Of which Mr.. Carnegie
is a stockholder The strike of two
years ago disrupted the labor union.
The state militia was called out and
twenty union strikers were shot
dead by a company from Mount
Pleasant. The trouble,this time is over
the amount of coal to be heaped in nine
wagons, the miners claiming that the
operators get two extra bushels to
every ton. There was a strike at the
Mount Braddock works near Union
town for this same reason, and the men
We're just brought back into line Fri

are about 90, 900 employees. The reor-
ganization is chiefly confined to the
English speaking element, as the Hun
Garians are believed to be tired of the
Strikes.

NEW YORK, March 16.-A special
cable from Panama says: Ruiz SandovaL
who was en- route to Tegucigalpa, Hon.

Word has been received of bloody
battle near Comayagua, where Vasquez
is strongly intrenched. The leader of

CHICAGO, March 16.-The situation in
the flooded districts of the west is prac-
tically unchanged Wednesday, except
In Michigan, where reports are Of
steadily rising streams and great dam
age. At Grand Rapids the river is still
rising and is now at the highest point
reached in forty-two years.
Scores of factories and mills have
shut down, throwing large number of
men out of employment. On the west
side, 100 houses are surrounded by
water. A number of families have
moved out in boats, and much suffering
prevails, as the weather has changed
and blizzard is blowing.
A special from Kalamazoo says: "The
rain of Tuesday night has turned to
snow, but the river continues to rise.
1t is six inches higher than Tuesday
night, but has not yet reached the mark
caused by the ice gorge of 1887 ALI
streams running into Kalamazoo river
In this vicinity are higher than for
years. Several factories are shut down
and surrounded with water and under
mined"
In Illinois the Illinois river has been
rising until it is now nearly as high as
it was during the big flood of last sea-
son. The damage done by the flood is
far greater than that of last year.
Great damage is also reported along the
Mississippi throughout Iowa and Min'
nesota.
