THE HAWAIIAN MATTER.
A New Treaty to Be Sent to the
Senate.
1t Is Also Said the Cabinet Has Consid
cred the Matter of Sending a
Commission to Hawaii.

NEW YORK, March lin lengthy
dispatch regarding the Hawaiian treaty
the Washington correspondent of morn
ing paper says: A gentleman closely con-
nected with the administration is author
ity for statement that the Hawaiian
matter viii be taken up Immediately by
Secretary Gresham and that message
transmitting a treaty of some kind will
be sent to the Senate during the present
special session. This gentleman, who is
in position to know, said further, that
the treaty would be on annexation lines
though radically different in its terms
from the Harrison treaty. The features
would, he added, leave no possible chance
for the sugar syndicates to reap any bene-
fits, and viii relieve the United States
from any financial responsibility for sup
port OF the islands.
In other words the attitude of this ad-
ministration is not unfavorable to an
nexation, but is opposed to the Harrison
treaty, because it is thought to have been
too hastily drawn and not full and definite
enough in its scope to properly protect
the interests of cur government.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Undeterred
by the rule that no reappointment Of
those who held Office under the former
administration OF President Cleveland
will be made, Colonel Childs, minister
to Siam, has asked the president to send
him back. Chief Justice Lerton OF the
Tennessee supreme court, wants to sue
coed to the circuit court vacancy caused
by the promotion of Justice Jackson to
the Supreme bench. George w. Carroll,
editor of the Gazette at Little Rock, has
presented an application for the position
of minister to Turkey. Another Arkansas
applicant is Judge Morgan, who is after
the South American consulate. Another
| application for his former position has
appeared IN ex-Minister Buck of Ken
lucky, who had the Peruvian mission
during the first Cleveland term. Colonel
Mclean of Illinois, who was deputy COM
missioner under Raum, is undiscouraged
by the new rule for appointments. L. G..
Christy, q colJred man and editor of the
indianapolis World, is an applicant for
recorder Of deeds for the District of

and G. q. Taylor of Kansas City, both
colored men, are also applicants for this
office.
The president is giving careful atten-
ton to the appointment of public printer.
1t was learned today that he thinks there

of more than usual ability as executive,
who can run the government printing
office on more strictly business basis.

1t Is Improving All the Time and Offers of
Gold Continue.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Treasury
situation continues to improve from day
to day and from this time on the Treasury
Department will be in position to take
more advantageous offers OF gold. Only
today offers of 500, OOOin gold was received
from Pittsburg and 100000 in gold from
Peoria. Numerous offers of gold from
out-of- the way places caused Carlisle this
morning to notify all interested parties.
'.Gold coin can be received only at the
sub Treasury Office in exchange for
notes. In other words the government
will not pay the expense of sending money
by express to individuals.
Treasurer Nebeker received a telegram
from Assistant Treasurer Roberts at New
York, stating that no gold was exported
from New York, and the probability
was that none would be taken out next
week.
The statement issued today by the
treasurer shows the free gold balance at
81, 500, GOO. Acceptances of gold have
been made, but which do not yet appear
IN the account, will bring the balance up
to more than 81, $50, 600.

OAKLAND, CAL, March 11.-An excit-

Rt4o'clock this morning in which burg
lar was killed and a police officer fatally
wounded. At the hour named Officers
Ely and Cashin were passing Seventh and
Center streets when they noticed light
fash in a saloon. They went to the door
and found it unlocked and then the Off
gers entered. They had no sooner crossed
bhe threshold when two burglars on the
Inside opened fire on the officers, who re-
burned the fire and seven shots were ex-
changed.
Officer Cashin cried s'I am shot," and
fell to the floor fatally wounded. One of
The burglars escaped through back win
dow and the other ran out the back door
way under fire. Ely devoted his atten-
lion to his brother officer and an hour
later the track walker of the Southern Pa
cific found the body of one of the burglars
!. lying on the track. He had been shot in
the back of his head.
A kit of tools carried by the burglars
we're found and was 8 most complete

THU ARMY BILL.
The Government Has Sustained
a Decisive Defeat.
COMPROMISE PROMISED,
1t Will Be Difficult to Obtain Any
Form OF the Bill.
Ahlwardt Has Repeated His Accusation
Against the Government for Taking
Defective Rifes-Emperor Will
liam viii Visit the Pope.

BERLIN, March 11.-Once more the OPP
ponents of the army bill are jubil ant.
They declare the government sustained a
decisive defeat yesterday by the commit
tee rejecting the essential clauses, but
again Chancellor Won Caprivi responds
that results of the committee action will
be a negative one and it leaves the late
bill unsettled. They add even if ma
iority of the committee finally refuse to
compromise, the government will not
cease its struggle until it challenges a
vote at the plenary sitting of thereichstag.
But confidence is expressed in political
and official circles OF the even tual accept
ance of the bill and the certainty express
ed by the opponents in their defeat is part
of game of bluff on that side.
The truth is the governments realizing
how difficult it viii be to obtain any form
of bill worth having and in manoeuvering
for time, during which it hopes to take
advantage of the dissensions in the Cen
trist party to secure a small majority
through strategy. President Won
Levetzow, who acted in unison with the
chancellor wants the discussion delaye
and the motion In regard to the return OF
the Jesuits to Germany postponed. The
time is not yet opportune for the govern
ment to declare its intentions in the mat
ter.
Negotiations with the vatican, although
almost hopeless, proceeds. During dis
cussion OF the war budget Herr Ahlwardt
repeated amid chilling silence, accusa-
tions against the government for taking
defective Lecw rifles. During the same
debate Herr Richter asked whether the
budget included sums paid to news
papers for supporting the army bill.
Chancellor Won Caprivi Indignantly de-
MED that a single pfennig was so ex-
pended.
Latest developments in the Agrarian
question of the governments proposal to
establish chamber of agriculture are
that Agrarian leaders eye the project ask
ance.
On the occasion of Emperor William s
visit to Rome on the twenty-fifth ami
versary of the marriage of the King and
Queen of Italy he will observe the same
formalities in calling on the Pope that
characterized his visit to the Pope in 1885,
No importance is attached to it, as it will
simply be courtesy audience.

Is Made Public.

Il
New YORK, March 1.-THE Con-
gressional committee appointed to look
into the conduct of the affairs of the Pan
anna Canal. Pacific Mail Steamship and
Panama railroad company, made their re-
port public today. Among other things
the committee finds that the banking firm
of J. & w. Seligman confessed to spend
ing 40, 600 COO francs. Another finding of
the committee is that the banking house
named above, together with Drexel, Nor
gan & Co., and Winslow Laner q Co., re-
ceived apparently for loan of their names
to the enterprise the sum OF 81 200 600, or
800, 200 each, or 500, 900 a year without

CHICAGO, March 11.-Switchmen in the

road stopped work this afternoon at 5
O'Clock and returned at 7:2O. It was not

OMAHA, March 11.-Report from the
North and South Platte country received
at railroad headquarters today show that
heavy rains are playing havoc with rail-
road property along the North Platte,
South Platte and Loup rivers. Bridges are

either washed away or undermined SO as
to make the crossings dangerous.
On the Union Pacific bridges and ap-
proaches are slightly damaged, but the

THE BosToN DISASTER.
More Dead Bodies in the Ruins of the
Burned Buildings.

Burned Buildings.
BosroN, March 1.-THE three greatest
fires in Boston's history, those of 1872,
1889 and 1898, were all rung from the
same box, 81. at this hour, am, no
change is warranted in the estimates OF
loss and insurance.
1t was learned this afternoon that
larry Turner, aged IS, and Lewis Buck,
aged IS, employees of the Jaquith rubber
company, are missing. They were at
work on the Fifth floor of the building
and their bodies are probably in the
ruins.
The body of Charles Odiorne, travelling
salesman of Redpath Brothers, is prob
ably in the ruins as thorough search has
been made in the hospitals and morgues
but no trace of him can be found. 7. B.
Fitz, member of the firm OF Brown, Dur
rell & Co., says their stock which was
not burned is of such a nature as to be
easily injured by water and smoke SO
they have nothing left but insurance.
He thinks it will take So, 200 to make
them whole. The damage to the United
States Hotel is placed at s.. 900.
Persons employed by Horace Partridge
& Co., in the building where the fire
originated yesterday, are all accounted
for. 1t is generally believed the bodies
of ten or fifteen of them are buried in the
ruins. One more man was added to the
death list this afternoon, that of Henry
Turner, an employee of the Jacquith

TREASURY APPOINTMENTS.
A Series of Rules Governing Office Seal
ers Laid Down.


WASHINGTON, March II. - It is an
nounced at the treasury department that
several treasury appointments will be
sent to the Senate by the president Mon
day. The most pressing subject, that of
building up the gold reserve, having been
accomplished for the present at least,
Secretary Carlisle has turned his atten-
ton to the subject of offices. His first
move in this direction was to secure a
private room in the treasury department
far removed from his Office where he could
work without being constantly inter
rupted by Office seekers. The desire of
the members of Congress and applicants
for Office to see papers on file for positions
has retarded the work of the appointment
division so much that Secretary Carlisle
has issued an order on the subject as fol-
lows:
First-The papers OF one candidate
cannot be seen by another candidate.
Second-The papers of any candidate
can be seen by his endorsers.
Third-The members of Congress in
whose district the office is located, may
see all the papers in the case.
Fourth-Unfavorable papers are not to
be shown to either candidate or his en-
dorsers, but the members of Congress of
the district may see them.

committee declined to give out any infor-
nation relative to the results of its nu-
