Washington, October 5.-An executive
message on Hawaiian affairs has been
prepared for some weeks, ready for
transmission to the Senate whenever
action on the silver question permits the
consideration of other business by that
body. The conten is of this message have
been as carefully guarded by the State
Department as secrets of this character
usually are, the only information
vouchsafed in respect to the document
being that it embodied the recommended
tions of Minister and Special .Commis-
sioner Blount
AS the subject of the withdrawn
Hawaiian treaty is one which the Senate
has only considered in executive session,
it is assumed that the Presidents mes
sage is addressed to the Senate in it's
confidential capacity as the adviser of the
Executive and the sharer with him of
the treaty-making power of the govern
ment, and that any information In re-
gard to its contents which may have
been communicated to Senators has heen
in confidence. Notwithstanding these
apparent obstacles to correct information,
and the unbroken reticence of Mr.. Blount
in regard to Hawaiian affairs, the Balti-
more Sun, III its Washington columns,
states that it is aDle to disclose for the
first time the nature of Mr.. Bfount's
recommendation, which is that the ques-
tion of establishing a protectorate
over the islands by the United States
should be submitted to a plebisoite, in
which the natives and the foreign born
residents should have equal rights of
voting.
1t is inferred that if this course should
be adopted the inevitable result would
be the re-esta blishment of the supremacy
of Mr.. Claus Spreckels and the monarchy,
and the ex-Queen is understood to retain
all her popularity among the natives.

was regular in form, that is, that
the record in the case was technically
correct in all details. Upon the dispo-

majority will recommend that the ap-
peal be entertained and heard, the
majority that it be sent to the New

STRANGE DEATHS.
Husband and Wife Die without Ap-

Husband aud Wife Die Without Ap-
-. parent Cause.
FAIRMoNT, Mimi. May 24.-About
two weeks Mrs. Harvey Lester, of Nash
vile, suddenly died while in apparently
good health. Considerable credit was
given to rnmor that she mad been pur-
posely put out of the way, but Coroner
Rice could see no suspicious signs
that would warrant an inquest.
Now comes the startling phase
Of the affair. On Friday evening last
Harvey Lester, husband of the woman
above mentioned. went to bed after eat
ing hearty supper and seemingly in
the best of health. He was found dead
in bed the following morning, and the
community is worked up to great
state of excitement over the occurrence.
Despite all the talk there is nothing to
show that the couple were the victims
of foul play, as there was no object in
their being put out of the way. The
occupants of the house were married
son and unmarried daughter of the
deceased couple.

Not Union Soldiers Grave to Be
Neglected This Year.
MILWAUKEE, May 24.-For the first
time since Memorial Day was instituted
all the graves of Union soldiers on
Southern soil will. be decorated with
flowers this year. This tribute will be
the result of movement on the part of
the G.. A. R., in which Commander-in-
Chief Weissert has taken an active
part. A fund has been called for and
raised among Northern posts for use in
assisting to decorate the graves of the
comrades who sleep in the South. This
fund has been expended in the purchase
of flags, potted flowers, ETC.. and not a
grave inside or outside the great
national cemeteries in the South will
be overlooked on Memorial Day this
year. The commander-in-chief will
leave for the South Wednesday to look
after this matter.
