HAWAII'S ANNEXATION.
SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS MADE
TOWARD AN AGREEMENT.

All the Points Necessary to Bring the
Islands Under Jurisdiction OF the
United States Believed to Be Agreed
Upon-The Ratification of the Treaty
By the Present Senate a Possibility.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 12-Is is stated TO-
night that the Hawaiian annexation com-
missioners and Secretary OF State Foster
have made substantial progress toward an
agreement upon a basis for bringing the
islands within the territory of the United
States. 1t is believed that at a conference
yesterday afternoon most of, il not all, the
points under consideration were incorpo-
rated in the text of the protocols. In case
the annexation of the islands be recon
mended by the executive, the method of
accomplishing it remains to be decided.
The question has been discussed by those most
interested and it is understood that only two
modes OF procedure are deemed feasible.
One is by a treaty, which the Senate alone
may ratify. The other is by an ordinary
act of congress. requiring joint action of
the Senate and House.
THE METHOD TO BE ADOPTED.
Itis believed that the former method will
be adopted IL favorable action upon the
proposition Of the Hawaiian commissioners
be determined on. To make the treaty
effective. Of course, the House would have
20 appropriate the necessary money, so that
while the ratification of the treaty of an
nexation by the present Senate is a possi-
bihty, the execution of the terms Of the
treaty will be heritage for the next con,
gress and administration. Another meet
ing Of the commissioners and Secretary Fos-
ter will be held at the state department. to.
morrow.

Mr.. Gladstone to Make His Speech on
the Measure To-day.
LONDON, Feb. 12.-Gladstone's friends
were much opposed to his speaking in the
house yesterday, as they wished him to
save his strength for tomorrow. Their
fears that he would exhaust himself, how
ever, were groundless, for to-day Mr. Glad
stone was feeling as well as ever. He went
to church twice and had his usual appetite.
TEirty-seven questions, which are to come
up 10 the house, are likely to delay the in
PRODUCTION of the home rule bill. The
whips are urging the members 70
postpone their questions until later 80 that
Mr.. Gladstone may be able to begin his
speech as early as o'clock. There is every
prospect that a great street demonstration
will be made during Mr.. Gladstone's prog.
ress from his house to Westminster. In
expectation Of this demonstration a spe-
cial police escort has been detailed to ac-
company Mr.. Gladstone from Downing
street to the House of Commons.

SHERMAN'S RESOLUTION.
ITS OBJBCT THE SAVING OF
MONEY FOR THE GOVERNMENT.

The Secretary of the Treesury's Au-
thority to Issue sonds-Impossible
to Say What Action WIN be Taken
But Favorable View is Anticipated.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator 5hoR-
man was asked this afternoon If the resolu-
ton he introduced yesterday TO authorized
the government to sell per cent. 5.yeRr
bonds to IN aintain specie resumption had
any special significance.
''The legislation sought to be accomplish
ed said Mr.. Sherman, "has for its object
the saving Of money to the general govern
meDt; that is the whole thing briefly stated.
The resumption act took place at time
when we could not borrow money at less
than 4 per cent, and 1t was thought TO be a
very successful operation when I was Sec
retary of the Treasury TO be able TO float
our bonds at those figures. When the re-
sumption act took effect the bonds author
lied by the funding act we're drawing that
rate OF interest and some Of them greater.
These were 40-year bonds at 4
per cent; Is year bonds at AZ per cent.
and 10 year issue at per cent.
THE SECRETARY CAN ISSUE BONDS.
ut is well settled that under that act the
Secretary Of the Treasury can, II he deems
it necessary, issue bonds. But when the
funding act was passed no one thought that
we could issue our bonds at 3 per cent,
and the object of this amendment is TO
authorize the secretary to issue bonds at
3 per cent. if he finds it necessary TO do
so. 1t simply saves the governments
per cent of interest and limits the bonds 30
five years.
Senator Sherman's intended amendment
was referred to the committee on finance,
OF which he is chairman, and will probably
be reported back to the Senate at an early
date. Senator Sherman could not say what
action the committee would take nor when
it would report the amendment In view
Of the fact that the leading democratic
senator's and Mr. Carlisle, the incoming
Secretary of the Treasury, had been in con.
ference with Secretary Foster. and that Mr..
Fosters views are ooncurred in by Mr.. Car
Isle, there Is reason to believe that the pro-
posed amendment will be favorablY acted
upon, although the issue Of bond, II issued
at all, will be postponed as long as possible.

friends in the state sought unsolicited to

rested here yesterday evening for attempt
ing an assault upon white lady, about a
mile from town. The lady's name is Mrs.

way home when she met che negro on the
bridge, which is only two narrow planks.
She says she did not see him until he sprang
up and stood face TO face with her. She
tried TO pass him, when he suddenly sprang
toward her, and tried to seize her
In his arms. She screamed and
jumped from the bridge, which
Is about six feet high, and ran as fast as
she could, calling for help. The negro came
on to town as il nothing had happened. On
reaching home Mrs. Miller told her hus-
band what had happened and he started
at once for help and to look for the negro.
He was soon found aud lodged safe IN jail.
The friends of Mr.. Miller are very indig-
nant over the affair and threats of lynchinR
were heard on all sides. About 10 O'Clock
last night Mayor McDuffie was informed
that a large number of men were
organizing themselves just out Of
the city aud would make an attempt to
take the prisoner from the jail during the
night. A strong guard was at once placed
around the jail. The mob found out
that it would be useless to make an attempt
to get their man, so they quietly dispersed
for the night. To-day Judge Smith ordered
the prisoner removed to the Eastman Jail
until the excitement was over. When the
guards went in TO get the prisoner the ne
groes all thought they intended to harm
him and crowded around the Jail swearing
that he should not be removed Il was
thought for while that there would be
trouble, but they we're driven back and the
prisoner was soon on mis- way to Eastman,
accompanied by }. J. Hendley and w. j.
Ferguson, two young men of nerve and
cool judgment. Every thing is quiet here

THE RXTRADITIoN rREAT1Bs.
Intimations of hidden Significance in
Those Recently Ratified,


WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.-Dispatches were
printed this morning announcing that there
was hidden significance in the extradition
treaties recently ratified by the United
States Senate with Russia and France
According TO the dispatches "a triple alli-
ance between the United States, Russia
and France for mutual benefit and defense,
which has been secretly pending for six
years, unknown to either the diplomatic
or political world at large, eliminated
in executive session of the United States
Senate two days ago." ON the ratification OF
the extradation treaties with these powers.
Careful inquiries from the best sources Of
information do not sustain this interpreta-
tlon Of the treaties. 1t is asserted that there
was no provision in either of the treaties
very widely differing from extradition
treaties negotiated with Great Britain,
Germany and other powers. More to The
point still. it is said there was no provision
in either treaty differing essentially from
the extradation treaty with Sweden, which
was ratified at the same time.
