HAWAIIAN QUESTION.
WILL BE CONSIDERED IN EXECU-
TIVE SESSION TO-DAY.
Paul Neumann, the Queens Envoy,
Fails to Keep His Engagement
With Secretary Foster.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The Annexa-
ton Commissioners from Hawaii and
Paul Neumann, envoy of Queen Liliuo-
kalani, spent part of to-day at the Capt.
tol. Neumann was in conference with
several Senators, to whom he bears let
ters of introduction from business men.
Marsden, one of the Annexation Com
missioners, left tonight for New York,
whence he will go by way of Niagara and
Chicago to San Francisco. Secretary of
State Foster, who had an appointment to
meet Neumann immediately on his (Fos-
ter's) return to the city this evening,
waited an hour for the Commissioner.
but Neumann failed to turn up.
1t is expected that the annexation
treaty, which was favorably reported 10
the Senate by a unanimous vote of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations,
except Gray, will be considered in execu-
tive session tomorrow.
1t is reported that Neumann has satis-
fed himself by inquiries at the Capitol
since his arrival in Washington last
week that the restoration of the lately de-
posed Queen is out of the question, but
officially in order to satisfy his principal
upon his return to Hawaii.
TROOPS TO BE SENT To THE ISLANDS.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The HeraLPs
Washington special says that anticipating
the ratification of the Hawaiian annexa-
ton treaty by both the United States Sem
ate and the Provisional Government of
Hawaii, the military and naval authori-
ties are discussing what should be done
for the preservation of peace on the ISL
ands pending the establishment of a
permanent government.
1t is realized that from the heterogene-
GUS character of the population of the
islands and the general tendency of
the native element to revolution, that to
peacefully maintain American sover-
eighty over the islands there must be A
proper display of military from the time
that annexation becomes an established
fact.
In this connection the advisability of
sending troops of the regular army to the
islands is being informally and seriously
discussed by many of the army officers.
The navy people, as rule, believe that
the purpose, but are forced to admit that,
by reason of the limited number of naval
vessels at hand, it might be advisable to
send several batteries of artillery from
California to remain at Honolulu until
some of the new vessels can be sent from
this coast.
On der the permanent form of govern
ment to be established by legislation it is
suggested that there should be standing
army organized from the inhabitants of
the islands. and a number of American
officers, it has been further suggested
should be detailed to perfect the organi-
zation, and when the United States has
established the proposed coaling station
in Pearl harbor there should be an Amer
lean garrison to defend the entrance to
the harbor.

Legislative Notes.

Senator VOORHEES, bin amending the
Bank Commissioners Act, by requiring
banks to make their statements in March
and October, instead of in January and
July. met with some opposition, and a
discussion of it followed.
Senator Whitehurst claimed that if the
bill became law it would simply double
the work for the commercial banks.
They would have to make statements IN
January and July, anyhow, he said, and
the law would call tor two more state
ments. Senator Seawell declared that
the law would be of great assistance to
Assessors in getting at proper valuation
OF the tank property, and Senator Viii
son agreed that 1t was to prevent dodg-
ing' oIs=tife part of the banks. Senator
Carpenter spoke against the bill. 1t was
absurd to argue, he said, that the law
would help Assessors. 1t would only
make unnecessary work for the banks

MRS. Nj. Burns was tried for disturbing
the peace of Mrs. Dora J. Shafer. and was
found guilty and fined $40. 1t transpired
from the evidence that Mrs. Shafer rented
rooms from Mrs. Burns, and that an
aItercatlon took place over delinquent
rent, and Mrs. Burns waltzed into the
1oruln and made Rome howl.
Inc women attracted the attention of q
number OF spectators, from whom enough
witnesses were secured by Mrs. Shaier
to convict Mrs. Burns.

charges of embezzlement on complaint of

James Connors, tried for vagrancy. ex-
plalned how he telt delicacy about sum
1noning high-toned people for whom he
nad worked to testify to his character.
he insisted, however, that he was able
bodied and had actually worked on va
rlous occasions; besides he had a room
rented and had paid for a week in ad-
Nance he said he arrived in town with
800, but got drunk and spent all his
wealth in one day.
After hearing the testimony of two
witnesses the Judge gave Connors some
good advice about begging on the street
ana hunting Chinese gin joints.
DON'T ask any more police officers or
newspaper reporters for money" said the
court; they will never give up. fthey
ever had any money they wouldn't give
ii to you.'
And with this and other sound infoxma-
ton Mr.. Connors was permitted to de-

Taking of Ex-Secretary Thompson's
Evidence Begun.
TERRE HAUTE Qnd.), Feb. 20.-The
Panama Congressional Investigating
Committee arrived this morning and be-
gan taking the evidence of x-Secretary
of the Navy Thompson in private.
The ex-Secretary first detailed the cir
cumstances of his resignation, saying it
was publicly done, and further, that he
met no opposition from President Hayes
when he approached him regarding the
matter. The first offer of the American
craftsmanship was made to him by Jesse
w. Seligman in 1880, and was not ac-
cepted until after a full conference with a
friend and the President, and the deter
mination on his part that there was moth
ing in it inimical to the interests of the
United States. He denied that the Hayes
Administration was opposed to the canal,
but it did want it under American con-
troll. He had an idea when he ac-
cepted the craftsmanship, of Americana
ing the affair, and tried to get an Amer
lean construction company to build it.
The entire administration, as far as he
knew of the affairs of the American COM
mittee, was on the strictest business prin-
ciples.

MONEY TO LOAN.
ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart Of Teha-aa County for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 TO $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 12o, 100 and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first of lve equal an
nual installments. Thus no part OF the prin-
cipal is 10 be paid tor three years and then
the purchaser is to have i've years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are es-
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre.
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE.
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
peciany adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 TO
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement viii prove to
home-seelers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $50
an acre, ana for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands TO actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose Of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dnigent husbandry.

He Runs Against Barkeeper and 1
Badly Worsted,

New YORK, Feb. 2O-Mitchel, the
English pugilist, visited the saloon of
Jim Wakely, one of Sullivan's former
hackers, early this morning and tried to
use his methods on the barkeepers there
which he so successfully employed on
old man Savage in London. Mitchell
and his friends drank freely, and finally
the liquor began to tell and Mitchell re-
buked the barkeepers Tor their sIowness.
The latter resented the insults and told
Mitchell to keep quiet. He replied with
profanity and the barkeepers seized
empty bottles and made for him. They
struck him over the head and drew
blood from his nose, but friends inter-
fered and got him out of the saloon.
They placed Gentleman" Charley in a
cab and carried him to the hotel.
Knocked out in one round in the first
fight OF his present visit to this country.
