A New York Company Collect

The State Department Denies Its
Authority to Take Cogniz-

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. s. 49, James P.
Satchell, well known steamship engi-
neer, of this city says that no doubt
Flint & Co., of New York, are procur-
ing men and engineers for the Brazilian
service. He says: "Flint & Co. have
been corresponding with a number of
seamen and engineers in this city
among them myself, trying to make ar
rangements to ship US. They want en-
gineers badly and in their letter to me
have stated they will pay 500 month
and $500 advance money. When we
enlist we have to give up all allegiance
to the United States and swear allegi-
ance to Brazil. When we arrive at
Brazil we are supposed to have an op-
tion whether or not we enter govern
ment service"
officials of the state department dis
tinctly assert that the department is
not authorized to take the initiative in
such cases as this. II the neutrality
laws are being violated, resort must be
had to the courts.
The statement made by Satchell ls EN-
phatically denied by Senior Mendonca,
the Brazilian minister who was ques-
toned tonight by reporter of the AS
sociated Press. Senior Mendonca said
'If the Brazilian government desired
to enlist men in the United States it
would have to send a special officer for
that purpose. To enlist men otherwise
would be against the law and regula-
tions of Brazil. The legation has no
power to enlist men. The Brazilian
government mas no intention of sending
an enlisting officer here"

An Interesting Document Showing
Precedent for Annexing the
Hawaiian Islands.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.--Some sensa-
tional dispatches published yesterday
afternoon to the effect that Liliuokalani
was to be restored to the throne (pf
Hawaii by the United States goveHR.
ment brought food of inquiries to the
state department. Officials of this des
partment ridiculed the proposition,
which is regarded by them as absurd.
This is the nearest any statement has
been obtained from any one in an Off
cial capacity connected with the state
department. in regard to the Hawaiian
matter.
An interesting fact has been devel-
oped bearing on the Hawaiian annexa-
tion question, in the records of the navy
department. The Brooks, or Midway
Islands, which are considered one of the
Hawaiian groups, were, on August %,
1887, formally taken possession of by
Captain William Reynolds, command.
ing the q. s. S. Lackawanna on behalf
of the United States.
The islands had previously been dis
covered on July 5, 1859, by Capt. N. G.
Brooks of the Hawaiian bark Gambrick
and who formally took possession OF
them in the name of the Hawaiian gov
ernment. The United States govern
ment was actuated by a request pre-
ferred to Secretary of the Navy Gideon
Weles by Allan McLane then president
of the Pacific Mail company who de-
sired to use the islands as a coaling
station. Secretary Weles thereupon is
sued orders to Rear Admiral Thacher
commanding the North Pacific squadron
to sake formal possession OF the Islands
Capt. Reynolds in reporting The cere'
mony of taking pos session to Rear Ad-
miral Thacher, says: at is exceedingly
gratifying to have been concerned in
taking possession of the first islands
ever added to the dominion of the
United States beyond her own shores
and I sincerely hope the instance will
be by no means the last in acquiring in
sular possessions"
In view of the fact that much
has been said and written on the
lack of precedent for the assump.
tion by the United Statesof domin-
ion over detached islands, such
as the Hawaiian group, this re-
cord in the navy department bears on
the question with interest.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-No express
sions of opinion of the elections yester-
day were to be had from the members
of the administration. The president
stayed out at Woodley, presumably to
work on his message. Secretary Her
bert was at the department but short
time this morning and Secretary Gres-
ham declined to express an opinion.
Promine mt Democratic leaders at the
capitol are peculiarly reluctant to
assign particular cause for the Re-
publican landslide and the Democra tic
defeat.
Chairman Sayers, of the appropria-
tions committee seemed cheerful and
said with a laugh: 1.-THE principal
reason seems t o be that we did not get
enough votes. There may have been
some other particular and incidental
reasons, but we did not get enough
votes and that is all there is to say
about it. The committee on appropria-
tions did not cause it anyhow. We can
prove an alibi."
means committee said: 81 am mighty
glad it came now instead of later in the
administration. The election in Vir-
ginia shows that the Populist uprising
has not gained headway. As soon as
Democratic measures can be taken to
restore the prosperity OF the country
everything will be all right again."
Ex-senator Malone, of Virginia, said
he regarded the result as an acknowl-
edgement on the part of the people that
they had made a mistake in putting
Cleveland in the White House.
Judge Lochren, commissioner of PEN
sions, said: cit is the natural result of
hard times. UnthinkiDg people have
charged the financial trou bles to the
party in power"
First Assistant Postmaster General
Frank Jones said: 1.-The Democratic
party will toe the scratch next time.
Blows of this character cannot phase IT..
A knock down with Democracy only
acts as tonic. The result is due to To-
cal causes. The result in Ohio was one
of the most important. 1t has brought
Mckinley once more into popular view
as political success and has raised his
prospects as chunk Of presidential tim
ber."
Representative Burrows OF Michigan
said: ''The general result indicated
that the laboring people of the country
are undoubtedly opposed to free trade
as advocated by the Democratic party.
In Ohio the issue was squarely on the
tariff and the enormous victory showed
how strong public sentiment is on that
subject"
Representative McMillin of Tennes-
see said "No one well posted on the
subject looked for victory in Ohio,
Massachusetts or Iowa. The result is
not due to tariff agitation for no one
knew what the. changes in the tariff
would be-"

New YORK, Nov. S.-Commenting
editorially on the result of yesterdays
elections, the Mail and Express, Re-
publican, says: "The result will en-
able the legislature to override any
yetoes Governor Flower writes and the
legislature will undertake the repeal of
the Tammany anti home rule and anti
honest election law and may legislate
Tammany's city officers in oblivion"
The Telegram, Independent Demo
crat, says: "The people of the state Of
New York have spoken at the polls and
the day and state are theirs. Ring
machinery, ring dictation and ring
nominees are broken.
