SUGAR COATED.
The Hawaiian Pin. II Taken. Would Make
the United states Sick, says Sugar King
Oxnard

| The Hawaiian Pin. II Taken. Would Make
the United states Sick, says Sugar King
Oxnard.
DENVER, COT, February 5.-Henry
T. Oxnard, the beet sugar king OF
America, who has just returned from
Honolulu, and who is now on his way
TO New York, in an interview with
reporter Of the Associated Press said:
THE Hawaiian Islands can produce
and have produced as much sugar as
the United Statos, and this industry has
/ been fostered for the past fifteen years
by the United States anyway. BY
treaties with Hawaii, all sugars were
admitted duty free, and as there was an
average of duty of over cents per
pound on sugar from all other sugar
producing countries, the Hawaiians have
been selling their sugars at the same
price as Cubans and others, and never
had to pay the 2-cent duty levied on
Cuba sugar. In this manner they really
obtained bounty of cents per pound
on every pound OF sugar sent 10 the
United States. This cents per pound
did not go into the United States Treas
ury, as did the . cents on all sugar i'm
ported by the United States, but went
directly 10 the pockets Of these very
Hawaiian planters who are to-day ask
ing the United States TO annex the
Sandwich Islands. In 1890, under the
Mckinley bill, bounty Of ? cents per
pound was given for sugar produced in
the United States from cane, sorghum
or sugar beetS, and At the same time
the duty OF , cents per pound was re-
moved from imported raw sugar.
The immediate result was
the saving OF SSOO0,O00 a year
which we had been giving these Hawa-
ilan planters, which is enough TO pay
bounty on all home produced sugar and
this protection 10 domestic sugar had
the effect Of starting the development
OF the sugar industry in an extraordinary
manner If this country shows the
same liberality towards her home sugar
producers during the next fifteen years
as has been shown towards the Hawa
iian planter during the same time / can
confidently assert, without fear Of con-
tradiction, that we will save the $780,
O0O, 900 we are annually sending abroad
to enrich the farmers, planters and
manufacturers OF foreign nations. Ha-
waii employees coolies and the cheapest
kind OF Chinese labor and sends
their sugar TO the Pacific
coast to compete against the best sugar
prodvced at American labor wages. II
Hawaii is annexed and they enjoy the
same privileges as the American home
sugar producers, it will greatly injure
the new American industry, which is
just beginning 10 develop itself and
which will in few years. If not stopped
by adverse legislation, find a home in
every State in the Union from the At
lantic to the Pacific. either with sor-

WASHINGTON, D. c., February g.
The members Of the Hawaiian Annexa-
tion Commission spent a quiet Sunday,
passing the most of the time in their
rooms at their hotel. Mr.. Carter, who
was a resident of Washington for some
time while his father was Hawaiian
Minister TO the United States, found
ime to renew some Of his scquaintan-
ces of that period, but the other gentle
men saw no one except several callers at
the hotel. Among their visitors were
Commander Goodrich, Of the United
States Navy, and Mr.. J. B. MOntgom-
cry, OF Portland, Oregan, the latter Of
whom expressed to the commissioners
his beiiefahat the entire Pacific coast
was united in favor OF annexation to the
United States. The commissioners do
not expect 10 have any statements to
make to the public regarding their er-
rand until after the completion OF their
conferences with Secretary Foster.
They will be busily engaged during
the intervals between those meetings
with the Secretary in the preparation
of the argument that they will advance
in support of their application for an
nexation. 1t is said that the confer
ence between the Secretary and the
Commissioners will be nothing more
than formal until after the arrival Of
the next steamer from Hawaii, which is
due at San Francisco on the Sth inst,
bringing further advice as TO the Situa-
tiOn of affairs.
The State Department expects to re-
ceive by that steamer full reports from
Minister Stevens of events in connec-
tiOn with the revolution and OF what
occurred since. The Commissioners
also look for additional instructions
from the provisional government re-
garding their mission to this country.
Until the communications have been
received, it is said that the Commits
sIoners will not be presented TO Presi-
dent Aarrison.
Speaking Of the probable course Of
events on the islands, Commissioner
Carter said this afternoon that the pro-
visional government would not under
take any legislative action pending ne
gotiations with the United States upon
the subject of annexation, except that
the Advisory Council, which stands IN
the stead Of Legislature, would prob
ably repeal the Pottery bill, which the
recent Legislature passed the day be-
fore it was prorogued by the lately de-
posed Queen. As long ago as last No
vember, Minister Stevens wrote let
ter setting forth the advantages of
Hawaiian islands TO the United States
and the desirability Of their acquisition
by this country.

DEATH OF MRS. WHITNEY.

The Wife OF the Ex-secretary of the Navy
Passes away Early Yesterday Morning.
New YORK, February 5.-Mrs. w. G.
Whitney, wife of the ex-Secretary Of
the Navy, died at her home in this
city at o'clock this morning.
The death of Mrs. Whitney was not
unexpected. Her attending physicians
pronounced her condition critical last
night, but they said there was a
chance for her recovery. This did not,
however, leave the family much TO
hope for. Her illness was due to heart
troubles, and fatal change might
come at any moment. About midnight
the family retired, but towards two
o'clock the suffering woman began to
show alarming symptoms, and the fam
lily was called.
In the house were her husband, her
sister, Mrs Bingham, of Cleveland, her
brother, Oliver H. Payne, who has
made his home with Mrs. Whitney, her
daughter, Pauline, her elder son, Henry
Payne, and her younger son, William
C.
The physicians were hastily sum-
moned, but the patient was beyond
medical aid, and at o'clock the end
came.
Mrs. Whitney was born and reared in
Cleveland, Ohio, where she lived for
many years with her aged father, ex
senator Henry B. Payne, brother, and
her sister, Mrs. VIM. Bingham, who
lives next door to the home o. the ex-
Senator in famous Euclid avenue.
Oliver Il. Payne, her brother, has OF
recent years made his home with the
Whitneys. He IL was who gave Mrs.
Whitney the house in which they live,
aud he has always been her faVorite in
the family.
The death OF Mrs. Whitney awakened
widespread sympathy throughout the
country, and all day kilograms and
messages of coincidence were received
by the family. Although those mess
ages Of coincidence were kept strictly
private, it is said by friends Of the fami-
ly that among the first kilograms to ar
rive were those from President-elect
and Mrs. Cleveland, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, the British Minister at Washing
ton, and others of foreign legations.
Telegrams were also received from
number OF Senators and Congressman;
from Mr.. Whitney's colleagues in Mr..
Cleveland'S Cabinet, and from the men,
beas of President Harrison's Cabinet.
Many Of the immediate friends OF the
family called during the day.
DR.. McBurnie said tonight that Mrs.
Whitney's death was due TO affection OF
the heart of long standing and which
became pronounced about a month ago.
For the past ten days she has been con-
fined to her bed, but it was only during
the last five days Of that time that her
condition was alarming.
The funeral will take place at 10
o'clock Tuesday morning from st. Bar
tholomew's Church, Madison avenue.
The services will be conducted by the
Rev. DR.. David II. Greer. The pail
bearers and other details of the funeral
will not be decided upon until to-mor-
row. The interment will be at Wood
lawn.
The daughter who died abroad in
1888 is buried there.

Does Not Think the Outlook for the nc
peal of the silver Purchase Act Very En-
couraglnc.
LAKEWOOD, n. j., February 5.-Con'
gresham W. L. Wilson, Of West VIZ
ginia, who came from Washington Sat
urday to consult with Mr.. Cleveland
presumably on the prospect OF the re-
peal OF the Sherman silver purchase act
at this session of Congress, spent last
evening with Mr.. Cleveland and Don NJ.
Dickinson OF the Cleveland cottage, and
he had another long talk with the
Presldent-elect to-day. Mr.. Wilson,
when asked this evening what were the
prospects of the silver bill passing both
Houses of Congress before the end OF
the present session, said:
THE chance of bill passing the
House depends largely upon the Com
mittee on Rules. They are 10 report a
resolution on Thursday, II the resolu'
tion merely calls up the silver bill for
discussion nothing will be accomplished,
as out twenty-four working days re-
main, and appropriation bills Will take
considerable Of the time, so that the
discussion on silver can be prolonged
until the end Of the session. II the
committee reports rule requiring a
final vote on the silver bill on certain
day, and the House decides TO vote on
the measure, am satisfied that the bill
will mass the House. In the Senate,
however, there is g sufficient minority
against the repeal of the Sherman law
to absolutely prevent the passage OF q
bill at this session"
"You do not consider the outlook
very encouraging for bill reaching the
President before March 4 then?"
"No, the time is too short in my opin-
ion for the repeal Of the silver law at
the present session."
"Do you believe the law would be re-
pealed II 1t were brought to vote In
both Houses?"
"Yes, il a straight vote could be OBJ
tained the law would be repealed at
once, but with the determined minority
there is little hope OF a straight vote,
and therefore little hope Of a change In
the silver legislation at present"
Mr.. Wilson declined to discuss Cab
met possibilities. He will leave here
on the morning express, and Will reach
Washington about / p. m. tomorrow.
Mr.. Cleveland remained quietly at
his cottage all day. Mr.. Dickinson was
his guest over Sunday. Aside from
Congressman Wilson his only caller
was Mr.. Nathan Straus, who S the
principal owner Of Lakewood Hotel.
Mr.. Cleveland announced this evening
that he would remain here the coming
week, In order TO dispose OF several
matters OF importance which have
been awaiting his attention for some
time. He desires that his ordinary
mail should be directed to his office In
New York, as it will rereiVe more
prompt attention there.
The sudden death this morning OF
DR.. w. c. Stone, the physician and
friend OF the Cleveland family, was a
shock to both Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland.

Delegate Lively, who IS a member Of
the Spencer Asylum Board, favOrs the
establishment of q curable ward In the

strong argumentSin in favor Of it. Every

and compelled 10 listen to their wild
rawlings, the patient has no chance for
recovery. think 8 pay department
should be established, so that friends Of
patients would be enabled TO have some
thing to say about their treatment and
discipline. 1t is so in Virginia and
other States, and has proven success
ful."
Mr.. Lively has visited all the insane
aSylumS In several States, and thinks
those Of Ohio are operated on the most
humane and most successful principles.
The Athens Asylum, under the manage
ment Of George CrumbScker, an old
Wheeling boy, he regards as the best

sstaql 7sleOram to The Rs0ntsr.

Sree,dl 76ISoram to the Rs0fStI.
WASHINGTON, February 5.-An at
tempt will be made in the House to-
morrow TO act on two very important
bills under suspension of the rules.
One is the Torrey bankruptcy bill which
has been pending for several sessions.
The other is the famous anti-Option bill,
the progress of which has been fought
with such bitterness at every stage.
The day in the House is likely to be
one of the livellest of the session. The
opposition to the two bills will be led by
Kilgore, OF Texas, who will be assisted
in opposing the anti-Option bill by men,
bers OF the New York delegation. Fill
clustering will be resorted to from the
opening of the proceedings, and If the
flibusterers carry out their plans moth
ing will be done in the House all day
but offer dilatory motions and call the
roll.
The filibusterers' game will be to pre-
vent the approval OF the journal bv all
sorts Of absurd motions, thus prevent
ing the House proceeding to business,
But the other side expects TO knock out
the filibusterers by getting the journal
approved under suspension Of the rules
on two-thirds vote. II this is done
the only hope of tho tilibusterers to
further delay proceedings will be the
breaking of quorum. If a vote is
reached it is believed the bankruptcy
bill will pass, but it is less likely a two
thirds majority can be got to send the
anti-option bill to conference or other
wise dispose Of 1t.

RUsHvILLE, NEB., February 5.-An-
other chapter in the shooting tragedy
on the Sioux reservation which was in
Yesterdays dispatches from this place
was enacted Friday evening near the
spot where the four white men were
killed. As soon as the news Of the
tragedy was brought to Pine Ridge,
Captain Brown, the agent dispatched
twelve mounted police under command
of a police sergeant, George Bush, 10
the scene OF the shooting with instruc-
tions to arrest and bring in the perpe-
traitors OF the bloody work. When the
SQUAD arrived at their destination Two
Strikes and his crowd opened ire and a
skirmish took place resulting In the
death of two of Two Strikes party and
the wounding OF one Of Two Strikes
sons aud another buck was killed and
Two Strikes and one of his men were
wounded. Two Strikes was shot In the
leg and abdomen. Two Strikes son,
too, was wounded slightly In the ankle.
Tue dead Indians were left where they
fell and the wounded ones were brought
10 the agency. Another account OF the
affair is that when the police reached
the camp they opened fire on the
party they were sent to arrest
without warning aud without making
their mission known and shot them
down in cold blood, but this version of
the bloody affair is not substantiated,
and is not believed to be true.
More definite details concerning the
killing OF the four white men reached
here this evening, although names OF
all call cannot be definitely learned, but
il is known that Clark Bacan and his
son-in-law were not among the number.
