It is essential that none of the other govern

a possession would not consist with safety and

with the approval of tho senate peace and
good order will be secured to the islands under
the existing laws until such time as congress

treaty, II will be observed, does not attempt to
deal with the questions that grow out Of the
anuexatIon of the several Hawaiian islands to
the United States. The commissioners have
consented TO leave to the just and benevolent
purposes Of the United States the adjustment
Of all such questions. 1t has been the policy
of the administration to not only respect but

ONLY A VERDICT.
That Is all That Is Left of the
O'Donnell Trial.
THE DEFENDANT TEsTIFIEs.
A Finding Of Acquittal Is Expected
This Morning.

The Jury Failed TO Agree in Forty Min
utes Last Evening and the Court Gave
1t tho Rest OF the Night to Weigh tho
Evidonce-An Impartial Charge by
Judge stowe,
P1TTsBURG, Feb. 19.-Hugh ODon-
nells trial is ended, but verdict will
not be given in it until this morning.
While acquittal is expected by every one,
the jury was not as ready TO agree on
such q verdict as were the Critchlow
and Clifford juries, for the court waited
forty minutes on it last night, and when
it was seen that there was a difference
of opinion in the jury room, an adjourn.
ment was taken until this morning.
The Critchlow jury agreed on a ver-
dict of not guilty in less than ten min
utes, and in the Clifford case the verdict
was reached in an equally short time,
though in both instances it was a couple
of hours before it was received owing
20 circumstances. However, the fact
that this jury was slow in reaching an
agreement does not warrant the pre-
sumption that the result will be differ
ent, but simply indicates that there are
men on it who require more talking to
convince them of the defendants inno-
cence. It may be, too, that the fact
that the line Of defense was different in
O'Donnell's case has something to do
with it, though O'Donnell's attorneys
do not think so, and have no fear of the
result.
The address Of the counsel occupied
the greater part Of Yesterdays session of
court. ODonnell gave evidence in his
own behalf in the morning, and in the
afternoon the speeches were made. Each
side was given two hours, and it was
after o'clock when d. L. Patterson,
who made the closing speech. had fin
ished. Then court adjourned until 2
O'clock, and at that hour Judge Stowe
charged the jury. There was not a large
attendance at the evening session. Mrs.
O'Donnell and a dozen other Homestead
women were present. After the charge
had been made, both Mr.. and Mrs.
O'Donnell expressed their approval of it
as being a fair and impartial one.
O'DOnnell was taken back to jail and

NEW YORK, Feb. tS.--There will be
Battle for the heavyweight champion
ship next December Mitchell covered
Corbetts $4,000 deposit yesterday. He
conceded to Corbett everything that the
latter wanted.
Mitchell drove up to Drexel, Morgan
e. Co.'s office early yesterday to get
check cashed. The crowd was so great
that a policeman had to be summoned
10 protect the banking house. Some of
the bolder ones tried to enter, but Mr.
Morgan stood at the door and helped
keep the crowd back. The pugilistic
party drove away after ten minutes,
amid the cheers of 1900 persons who
had assembled to see the prize fighters
It was 3;45 o'clock when two coaches
containing Mitchell, his backer, Abing-
don Baird, Edwin Bailey and Bernard
Abrams, Mtchell's legal adviser, halted
in front of The World building. In
about ten minutes another coach, with
Billy Brady, Corbett's manager; Bill
Delaney, the champions trainer; Fred
McCloy and Leander Richardson, ar
rived. Mitchell at once proceeded to
business. He produced twenty $500
bills. Brady produced tel 81, 900 bills,
his deposit for the match for the heavy
weight championship of the world.
II am in favor Of fighting ten weeks
from now," said Mitchell. Brady de-
Clared his theatrical contracts would not
allow such an arrangement. Mitchell
gave in. Then it was arranged that the
fight should take place the second week
of December next, before the club offer
ing the largest purse. Mitchell wanted
to fight in u 12-foot ring, to prove that
he was not sprinter. The 24-foot ring,
however, was agreed upon. The fight
must be to finish. There can be no
postponement or draw. Corbett will be
prepared to fight two weeks, if neces-
sary. Mitchell said he would be pre-
pared to fight a month.
Mitchell said he wanted the smallest
gloves the law would allow, and five
ounces were finally decided upon. In no
instance shall the club under whose
auspices the fight will take place be al
lowed to call the contest draw. The
fight must be to finish.
