PROBABLY A FAKE.
Mr.. Kimberly Tells of a Battle That
Nobody Else Saw.


ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 21.-The Globe In
the morning will publish an interview with
Z. ]. Kimberly of Honolulu, who was pres
ent there during the recent change of Gov
erEment. which contains a number Of new
details. Kimberly is in England and will
deliver TO the English Government some
important papers, giving some new facts in
connection with the new Government at
Hawaii from the British representative on
the islands. He explained that England
had been making attempts toIget possession
of the islands for some time. and would
have succeeded had it not been for the un-
expected execution of TIE Americans plans.
On the day of the declaration Of the new
Government there were not more than a
dozen men who demanded a change, and
Kimberly further asserts that the German
planters, who for several years have been
trying TO have the Islands annexed by their
Government, are very angry at the oTgani-
ZatiOn Of the new Government About 200
Germans and natives started 10 drive the
American volunteers" away from the po-
lice station and the palace.
Mr.. Kimberly continued: "There were a
number OF Euglishmen who sided with the
Germans in view of the high-handed proceed
ings OF the Americans. 10 show how strong
was the sentiment against the Ameri-
cans the men were armed from the German
and English consulates. They moved up
to the palace at midnight in solid body
and made a demand for the surrender of
the Americans, and when they refused 10
comply they shot al them. The Americans
ran at them with loaded guns and deliber-
ately shot back at them. Four Germans
were killed. and the Americans threatened
to shoot them all if they continued to inter-
fere. Then the men discreetly retired. The
Americans allowed them 10 carry away the
dead bodies Of the men who were shot.
I'VE afterward rad consultation over
the matter, but the German and English
Consuls declined TO take any further steps.
The Americans claimed that the men were
killed 10 a street fight with each other, and
no official report Of the affair was made. /
do not suppose the Americans would give
the islands up TO England now, but there
will be protest against their continuing in

MARTINS OPPONENT.
The Kansas Republicans Prepare to
Make a Fight.

TOPEKA, Kans.. Feb. 21.--The Repubi-
can members Of the House and Senate in
caucus tonight decided upon HALEY Wag-
goner as the contestant OF the seat Of John
Martin in the Senate. The caucus ad-
jourDed until tomorrow morning. when the
election Of Waggoner will be formally rati-
fed, but his election will not occur until
after the Supreme Court renders its de-
cisiOn in the Gum case.
The Supreme Court this morning took up
the habeas CORPUS case of L. c. Gum to test
the legality of the Republican House. After
considerable argument it was decided that
the burden of proof rests on the Repub blican
House. Frank L. Brown, clerk of the Re-
publican House. was then examined. 1t is
understood that the policy of the Popuists
is TO delay the hearing by the nterposition
of all sorts of objections until the Populists
can pass all the bills they desire and ad-
journ before tile court can reach decision.

the step toward annexation that has
already been taken is certainly un-
American. The Queen expected at least to
be heard, but we, it seems, were denied that
right, and now we can only hope
that matters will be delayed until
the next administration comes in. We
do not favor annexation, for one
reason, because the sugar interests OF the
Islands would not be benefited by such
union as is proposed in the treaty. The
treaty deprives us of the right Of making
contracts with laborers, and when
we could not do that wages would
go up enormously. AS l understand
the commissioners tried to get the
bounty clause in the treaty, but it was re-
fused. We may get the same bounty that
is now paid to sugar-growerS here,
although we are afraid that the bounty is
not going to last much longer. but that is
not the only point. We claim that the
Queen was denied her rights in the
first place in the refusal to permit
her envoy to come to the United
States with Commissioner Thurston and the
others. and then the American Minister,
without the advice or consent OF the foreign
diplomatic corps, and when there was not
the slightest occasion for it, landed troops
from the warshp Boston. When we reach

do not have an opportunity to say a word"

Hawley moved to increase the appropra-

Filibustering All Night Over the Pos
tai APPROXIMATION Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l-The House to-
day in committee OF the whole resumed the
consideration of the postoffice appropriation
bill Nothing of Importance had been ac-
complished when the hour fixed for the
consids ration of the car-coupler bill ar
rived, and the committee rose, and Wise
moved that the Senate amendments thereto
be coneurred in.
Filibusterng then began. and after vari-
Gus dilatory motions vote was ordered on
the motion to adjourn until Thursday. No
quorum appearing, there were several at
tempts made to reach a compromise. Hatch
said he was sure the friends of the bill
would lose nothing If the House adjourned
now.
Wise said: "The gentleman from Mis-
souri, is endeavoring to persuade the friends
of the bill that 1t Is safe to adjourn. and /
say TO them that it is not safe"
The chair declined TO decide the question
before it came up in regular order.
In short time the House became almo st

sentees, and for an hour or more the House
waited for his return. An all-night session
was then seen to be at hand and the usual
scenes were enacted. There were several
amusing episodes, but on the whole the
session was a dreary one. Shortly after
midnight the Speaker stated that the SER
geant was unable TO execute the order OF
the House as to the arrest of absentees, and
Morse of Massachusetts moved an adjourn

THE QUEENS SIDE.

for DeIaV


NEW YORK, Feb. PIE. o. Macfarlane
and Prince Kawananakoa, who. with Paul
Neumann, came TO the United States to
present the Queens side of the Hawaiian
situation before the Secretary Of State, say
that the only hope they can now see for
them is that the present Congress will not
Tatify the treaty which has been drawn up
and signed. Mscfarlane and the Prince.
who are at the Victoria Hotel today, said
that they felt that they had not been treated
fairly in the matter and that an attempt
had been made to close the negotiations
with undue haste.
"But we are not going to Lakewood TO
complain to Cleveland" said Macfarlane,
and l cannot understand how such a silly
story got into print. We only hope now that
the matter will be delayed go that a nom
partisan commission may be sent to Hawaii
TO ascertain the true state Of affairs. The
statements that have been made by the rep
Tesentatives Of the Provisional Government
In many cases have not been true. It Is
not true, for instance. thar any natives are In

but nothing else. The natives would rebel
against an English-American protectorate
or an English-American-Ger pro-
tectorate. They want American protection
and at the same time they want the rights
of their sovereign maintained. When we
reached San Francisco Neumann, as the
Queens envoy, telegraphed to Secretary
Foster and told him that lie would
reach Washington as soon as steam
could get him there. We asked the Seere-
tary to delay the final arrangements until
the Queens side had been heard. but it
appears that Thurston and the otiier COM
missioners rushed matters. aud we did not
get a hearing. The Queen was denied
the privilege of sending a representative

commissioners. and 1t seems to me that

one Of the Panama committee who was here
yesterday 10 examine Colonel Thompson,
said. before returning to Washington to-day:
Il believe from the evidence so far in hand
that whatever may have been done by bank
ers and others in connection with the
American committee. Colonel Thompson
was honest in all the transactions he fig
ured in, and If there is anything crooked lie
is not in it, His makeup is not that of
jobber, but won't say there have not been
jobs and crookedness and great extrava-
gance on this side of the water"
Congressman St0rer of Ohio said: "The
evidence showed that the bankers were en-
gagged in an effort to form a syndicate
among themselves to buy up the assets of
the Panama Railroad Company and sell
the road to the canal company, so as to
have things both coming and going. These
bankers received vast sums annually from
the Panama Company for doing practically
nothing. Colonel Thompson does not pre-
tend TO know what they did to receive the
large sum of $4,000 each per year. making
a total of ST. 100000 during eight years. 1t
was nothing less than robbery"
