ANNEXATION MESSAGE.

A Communication from the President
on the Hawaiian Question.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE treaty Of
annexation concluded between Secre-
tary of State Foster and the commits
sioners of the provisional government
of Hawaii was transmitted to the senate
Wednesday, but not made public. The
message of the president was brief. 1t
states that it was deemed more desirable
to fully annex the islands than to estab.
lish protectorate. The president says
the overthrow of the monarchy was not
in any way promoted by this govern
ment; that the restoration of Liliouka-
lani is undesirable, if not impossible,
and that unless actively supported by
the United States would be accom-
panied by serious disaster and the dis
organization of all business in the
islands. He says:
1t is essential that none of the other
great powers shall secure. these islands.
Such a possession would not be consistent
with our safety and with the peace of the
world. Prompt action upon this treaty is
very desirable. If it meets the approval of
the senate, peace and good order will be
secured to the islands under existing laws
until such time as congress can provide by
legislation permanent form of govern
ment for the islands. This legislation
should be, and do not doubt will be, not
only just to the native and all other resi-
dents and citizens of the island, but.should
be characterized by great liberality and a
high regard to the rights of all the people
and of all the foreigners domiciled there.
In letter to the president laying the
treaty before him, Secretary of State
Foster recapitulates the history of re-
cent events in the islands leading up to
the revolution; the establishment Of the
provisional government; the appear
ance of the commissioners in Washing
ton; the negotiations that have taken
place, resulting in the preparation of
the treaty, and the establishment of the
protectorate by Minister Stevens.
Secretary Foster confirms the presi-
dents statement that the revolution
was entirely unexpected as far Us this
government was concerned,

MITCHELL KNOCKED OUT.
The Englishman Gets a Drubbing in
New York Saloon.


New York Saloon.
New YORK, Feb. 20.-Mitchell, the
English pugilist, visited the saloon of
Jim Wakely, one of Sullivan's former
hackers, and tried to use the methods
on the barkeepers there which he had
so successfully employed on old man
Savage in London.
Mitchell and his friends drank freely
during the evening, and at about .
o'clock the effects of the liquor began to
tell. He rebuked the barkeepers for
their slowness and called one man q
"stiff."
The Americans resented the insult
and told Mitchell to keep quiet. He
replied with profanity, and the bar
keepers seized empty bottles and made
for him. They struck him over the
head and drew blood from his nose, but
his friends interfered and got him out
of the saloon. They placed him in q
cab and carried him back to his hotel,
knocked out in one round in the first
fight of his present visit to this country.

To Put an End to Fraud.

BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis, Feb. 90
One of the citizens of this place claims
to have discovered OF invented device
whereby it is impossible for any one
under any circumstances to use post
age stamp the second time. It can be
applied to the stamps now in use. An
application for its adoption has been
made to the postoffice department at
Washington and Third Assistant Post
master General Hazen has sent for q
description and plan of the device, but
could make no promises of its adoption.

Without EIecting a Senator.
CHEYENNE, Wy, Feb. 1S.-When the
joint session of the state assembly met
at noon to ballot for senator, a motion
to adjourn sine die was carried by two
votes. The Democrats were afraid that
Warren would be elected and the Re-
publicans that A. L. New would prove
the winner. The governor will ap-
point senator. The house then ad-
journed sine die without having the
speaker sign the journal and leaving

Less Opposition to Home Rule,

LONDON, Feb. 20.-The News main-

difficulties raised in the debate by the
opponents of the home rule bill have
been removed by the publication of the
text of that measure. The News dis
cusses the financial clauses of the meas
ure at great length, pointing out the
immense cost of troops and armed
police in Ireland which will be saved to
the British taxpayer if the bill becomes
law.

THE WAR Is OVER.
AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN WAR
RING FACTIONSIN IN KANSAS

And Peace Now Reigns in the Capital
City of the Grasshopper state-Im-
prisoned Republicans Celebrate
Their Release by a Big Love Feast.
Topeka, Kan, Feb. 17.-Peace reigns
supreme in the capital city of the
Grasshopper state. The spectre of that
worst of conflicts, civil war. no
longer stalks abroad. Hostilities have
been averted without the shedding of
blood. The taps of the drummer boys
and the steady tramp of militiamen as
they march down Kansas avenue is all
that remains as reminder of what
might have been. Like the ruler of
France in ancient history, Governor
Lewelling has marched his men up the
hill and marched them down again.
Republicans Claim Victory.
The members of the Legal house." as
the Republicans call themselves, regard
the outcome of the difficulty in the
light of a signal victory. They have
secured all that they were contending
for-the right to meet and transact
their business in the hall of the house
of representatives, and the reference of
the question at issue to the courts.
Meanwhile the Populist house is out
side, but it's members do not by any
means conclude that they are worsted.
On the contrary they claim that the
situation has returned to the original
status, and this solely on account of
their disinclination to
Mar the Good Name of the State
by insisting on course that would in
inevitably involve the shedding of
blood. Governor Lewelling himself as
serts that to the magnanimity of the
Populists in failing to insist upon their
legal rights is due alone to the peacable
turn of affairs. Thus both sides are vo-
ciferously declaring:
1.-The victory is ours"
Militia Disbanded.
A conference between Brigadier Cen
eral Hettinger and Sheriff Wilkerson
took place at 3 o'clock. 1t was agreed
that the militia should at once be with
drawn from duty and that the sheriff
should disband his deputies, save a
squad of eighteen, twelve of Ewhom
were to keep the swarms of curiosity
mongers out Of the halls and corridors,
the others to perform similar service in
the state house grounds. This agree
ment was satisfactory all around. The
Populist house remained in session
throughout the day, at Trades Assembly
hall. A resolution was adopted declar-
ing an Adjournment until April, but in
this the senate will refuse to concur.

BEAUREGARD is DEAD.

The Famous Confederate General
Passes Away at New Orleans.
T. Beauregard died at 10 o'clock p. IN.
of heart failure. For some time past
the general had been ailing with the
grip, but he improved greatly and Sun
day was up and about. He dined with
his family at 9 o'clock and retired at 9
o'clock. At that time he was appar-
emily all right. But before 10 o'clock
the crisis came and he died before medi-
cal assistance could be summoned.

Opposition TO Annexation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-The Hawaiian
annexation is giving its promoters some
trouble. It is doubtful whether the
necessary two-thirds of the senate can
be found to agree with the treaty. There
is more talk against it than before, and
it is the claim of the opposition that the
more there is known the stronger the
opposition grows.

FALL OF THE READING.
The Great Pennsylvania Corporation
in the Hands of Receivers.

III thc I1uuuS III lNCCeINClb.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2O-The Philadel-
phia and Reading railroad is in the
hands of receivers. Its credit and its
power in the financial world are gone
and the ownership of its panic-blown,
widely scattered stock is unknown.
1t was just year ago this month that
the formation of the great Reading
Jersey Central-Lehigh Valley alliance
was publicly announced. In mileage it
was the largest railroad system in the
East and its ownership of coal mines
made it apparently the arbitrator Of the
coal markets of the country. The hand
of j. Pierpont Morgan was frankly dis
closed in the new combination, and the
prestige of his name added much to the
public confluence in the stability of the
statement
Cause of Dissolution.
The dissolution of the Reading COM
bination was begun by the opposition of
the New Jersey authorities and courts
to the formation of coal trust. AL
though Mr.. Mcleod and his associates
pooh poohed that opposition for while
they finally had to give way to it and
complete severance of the relations be-
tween the Reading and Jersey Central
was announced. The facts relating to
the Readings incursion into New Eng
land, the series of brilliant moves which
apparently placed this new Poughkeep-
sic bridge, the Boston and Maine rail
road the New York and New England
railroad and the Connecticut River rail-
road in the control Of
The Great Combination
are still familiar events in the public
mind. BY invading the territory of the
consolidated system he antagonized a
strong financial interest represented by
Drexel, Morgan q Co., which at the
outset had been most powerful hacker.
The relations between Mr. Pierpont
Morgan and the Reading management
at once became strained and it was not
long before Mcleod found his feet slip
ping off his financial basis The Phila-
delphia syndicate who We're carrying
the stock of the Reading company
found themselves overweighted with
the newly acquired subsidiary proper
ties in New England and elsewhere,
and the need of more money was felt.
Heavy obligations approached maturity
and some quick turns had to be made to
escape direct default. The sagacious
and resourceful Morgan was no longer
interested in protecting Readings
credit if the earnings failed to come up
up to his expectation, and the prestige
of the Reading combination began to
| fade. .... -..r.
