A Beet Sugar Mans View of the
Annexation Scheme.

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 4-Henry T. Ok
nard, the beet sugar king OF America, who
has Just returned from Honolulu, In an in
teryiew said tonight: "By treaties with
Hawaii all the sugars are admitted duty
free. In this manner they really obtained
a bounty Of cents per pound on every
pound of sugar sent to theUnited States. This
cents per pound did not go into the United
States treasury as did the cents on all
other sugar imported by the United States,
but went directly into the pockets Of these
very Hawaiian planters who are to-day ask
Ing the United States to annex the Sand
wieh Islands. Let Hawaii be annexed and
they would enjoy the same privileges as the
American home sugar producers, but 1t
would greatly injure the new American in
dustry Of beet sugar growing which is just
beginning 10 develop Itself. and which will
la few years, If not stopped by any ad-
verse legislation, find home In every State
in the Union, from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc, either with sorghum or beets.
They have a strong lobby at Washington,
but L do not believe, II only from an
economic standpoint, that the United
States will want TO burden itself with ter
rItory which has already cost us over
S50.000,000, and which would continue to
divert S2S, 100000 a year from the United
States treasury to the pockets OF the
Hawaiian Government, otherwise known as
the Hawaiian sugar planters. Annexation
or nothing is their motto. The reason is
evident, but protectorate would not give
them what they are really seeking, money
from the United States treasury"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Secretary Noble
to-day received the folio wing dispatch from
Inspector Disney at Pine Ridge Agency,
S. b.: 1T Is reported by the policemen
that three white men were murdered and
one mortally wounded at the beef coatrac-
tors camp on this reserve. Captain Brown
is endeav0riHg to capture the murderers,
who are said to be Indians. No further
trouble is anticipated. The Indians con-
demn the act"
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-On receipt of the dis
patches from Washington and the Pine
Ridge Agency this afternoon announcing
that there had been tragedy at the latter
agency, reporter went to the headquarters
OF the Division OF the Missouri to see Gen.
eral Miles. He was not IN the city, but
Captain Baldwin OF his staff said: II don't
think there is anything in it. We have re-
ceived no news of an uprising, and although
some men may have been killed that does
not predict general revolt by any means.
The murders could not have been CON-
mtted by Two Strikes, for he is not near
Pine Ridge. He is at Rosebud, and could
hardly have killed anybody at Pine Ridge
/ think the uprising part of the story is not
so serious as reported"
A dispatch received here tonight from
Chadron asserts that the killing was done
by Two Strikes band, and that the MUIR
derers are still at liberty in spite of the ef-
forts OF the Indian police 10 apprehend
them. The killing took place at Hum
phrey's ranch, about twenty miles from the
Pine Ridge Agency.
1t Is difficult to learn just what was the
reason for the killing, or how it occurred.
From dispatches from Rushville it Is learned
that the first rumors Of the killing came to
Pine Ridge Agency yesterday morning.
The acting agent, Captain Brown, imme-
mediately sent several Indian policemen to
investigate the matter.
Upon their return to-day they reported
finding three white men dead and another
fatally wounded. The latter died in short
time. They said the killing WAS done by
Two Strikes, his sons and another Indian.
Captain Brown, on receipt of this informa-
ton, sent out detachment of Indian
police to apprehend the mu derers.
1t is stated at the agency that Captain
Brown does not think that there viii be any
further trouble, as the outbreak is only due
to some outside quarrel. 1t is also said thai
the chiefs at the agency deprecate the kill
ing, and profess anxiety 10 see the guilty
ones punished, bat it is difficult to say how
much reliance may be placed in their pro-
fessons, in view Of past occurrences.
A report received this evening asserts that
In fight this afternoon the Indian police
killek Two Strikes, his two sons and an
Indian named White Horse. This. how
ever. has not been authenticated.
- LINCOLN, Nebr., Feb. A special TO the
Journal from Pine Ridge confirms the kill
ing of Two Strikes, his two sons and White
faced Horse.

ernment has uniformly been to re ognize

ernment in full possession of the effective
power with the assent of the people. You
will continue to recognize the new Govern

BERLIN. Feb Am official dinner was
given on Thursday evening by Count Won
Eulenburg, President of the Prussian
Council of Minister'S at which Emperor
William, DR.. MIGUEL, the Prussian Minister
of Finance. and other Ministers were pres
ent. The dinner was distinguished By the
entire suppression Of all reference to the
army bill. Probably the Emperor finds tue
opportune period OF silence pleasant, and
another reason for the reticence at present
observed in official circ les is the recent bel
licose speeches made by leading generals,
who speak out on the necessity for military
reforms. The generals, in enthusiastic obe-
dience Of orders, went beyo ond their instruc-
tions. and the terms used by them would
have been justified only had Europe be en-

obtain small majority OF eleven. Though

Is being arranged between the Gar and
Emperor William. but Notwithstanding all
these rumors OF pacific intentions the Rus

speciaI to THE MORNING CALI

PANAMA. Feb. 4-The people of Colomba
appear to imagine the United States Is very
anxious to get hold Cf the Panama canal,
and express an earnest desire to know the
nature of the propositions the United States
will make. FL Cronsta says in au editorials
The propositions from the United States
cannot be confined to prohibiting Colombia
from granting an extension of time to the
French company to complete the Panama
canal. The United States has no right to
make such proposition. as it would be likely
to breed trouble with other powers. 1t may
be expected the United States will at least
assure the opening of the canal. The very
great interest the Americans have to-day in
building the canal with American capital,
has its explanation In the loss of the pos
session of the railroad across the isthmus.
While The transfer of the railroad has been
great loss to the United States it is Il
grand and significant acquisition for the
French, and if they have not built the canal
they are fully compensated by acquiring pos
session Of the Panama Railway with the
contingent control of the transfer of the
traffic across the lsthmus. The Americans,
therefore, must build the canal or lose all.
Frenchmen here ridicule the idea that tho
United States will make any proposition to
Colombia looking to the requirement of the
Panama Canal. They say such talk is In
spired by the liauIdatOr. who hopes In this
way to touch French pride and induce
France at the last moment to take official
action in behalf of the canal. He also init
