Government Officials Have a Conference
with Hawaiian Representatives.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The Hawaiian
annexation commission had another in
terview with Secretary of State Foster
this morning. AS was previous inter
views this was informal, and confined
to interchange of unofficial views re-
garding annexation of the islands.
Nothing was said as to when the COM
mission would be received by the presi-
dent.
The president, in response to &
resolution adopted last Friday, trans
mitted to the senate copies of
the annexation treaty negotiated be-
tween the representatives of the United
States and King Kamehalneha is lS45,
together with the correspondence in re-
lation thereto. The correspondence in
cludes letter of instructions from Secre-
tary of State Marcy to the United States
minister to Hawaii, Gregg; Gregg's re-
port to the state department narrating
the circumstances of the negotiation Of
the treaty and the condition Of affairs at
the time; the minister's report of the
death of King halnehameha and the ac-
ceSsion Of his successor to the throne:
the subsequent decline of the annexa-
ton sentiment under the new king; and
finally, Secretary Marcy's letter to the
minister expressing disapproval of the
terms of the treaty as negotiated.

wyominG's Senatorial Contest Develops
Some Sensational Features.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb Sin the sem
ate committee of three was appointed
to investigate the public charges that
criminal attempts had been made to
prevent members of the senate from
participating in the joint ballot.
Another sensation followed when
Holiday of Albany offered a resolution
to investigate the charges. made in a
morning paper. The editorial in ques-
ton charges Candidate New with at
tempting to bride and spirit away Re-
publican members of the legislature. It
says:
An investigation would clearly establish
the fact that members have been drugged,
one senator kidnapped and offers of 81 800
to s., 600 made to several Republican mem
bers, while other members have been told
that it would be to their financial inter
est to be absent from the joint assembly
until after the senator was elected.
Senator Russell has not yet returned,
Senator Kline, who claims to have been
drugged to prevent him from attending
the joint session last Saturday, is getting
better but is not yet out of danger.

Tortured BY Fire.

PARIS, Tex, Feb. IA mob of angry
men. and women, numbering thousands,
wreaked the most fri ghtfuT vengeance
of lynch law yesterday upon Henry
Smith, burly negro, who with the
fendlshness of a brute outraged and
cruelty murdered little 4-year-old Myrtle
Vance on Thursday. Too powerful to
resist, they took the prisoner from the
guards bringing him here. They
dragged him by rope about his neck to
the scene of his crime, subjected him to
every conceivable torture, and there
burned the pitiable wretch to the stake.
Red hot irons were trust from every
side into his body. His shrieks added
vigor to his prosecutors. First the hot
irons branded his feet and inch by inch
they crept up to his face. The man
was unconscious when at last kerosene
was poured over him and cotton seed
hnlls placed beneath him. A torch set
the pyre on fire and all was consumed.

KANSAS CITx, Mo-, Feb. s.-The de-
velopments in the Moore-Funston case
on trial in Kansas City, Kan, are of a
sensational nature. The contestants
counsel expected to prove that in the
Third precinct of the First ward no less

asked to produce the ballots, he testified
that they could not be found His state
ment under oath caused a great furry
among the politicians. County Clerk
Bruce made search, but to no purpose.
He has offered a reward of $751; for the
return of the package, also another re-
ward of $500 for any information lead
ing to the arrest and conviction of the
person who stole the ballots.

POpuIIsts and Republicans In Kansas
Hereafter to Divide the Time.
TOPEKA. Kan, Feb. 5.-All hope Of
settling the muddle in the house has
been abandoned and the two organiza-
lions have settled down, quit quarrelling
back and forth and agreed to divide the
time on the floor from now to the close
of the allotted time, the Republicans
meeting in the forenoon and the Popu-
lists in the afternoon. The regular
forms of legislation viii hereafter be
followed, and bills passed without re-
gard to the Republicans. Only such
bills as cannot be Immediately attacked
in t4fe supreme court will, for the pres
ent. be passed, and at the close of the
session appropriations for expenses for
the legislature and the state govern
ment and the state institutions will be
adopted. Then the PopuIlsts will ad-
journ ana let the Republicans do their
worst Should the supreme court de-
clare the laws of the Populists void and
the governor call an extra session of the
legislature. the Populist house will come
back just the same and go through the
form of repassing the same laws. This
is the pre- gramme as stated by Pop
ulist leader. ---.----5

DErERarrNBD no SETTLE n.
An Effort WIN BE made to Have the Kan
So MIDDLE Settled.


TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 8. Representa-
stve Campbell of Stafford. the member
who has caused the Ropulist leaders so
much trouble BY his refusal to submit
to caucus dictation, announces that If it
is possible to get test of the house
middle in the supreme court before the
clese of the session he will bring 1t
about.
Whether the people would be willing
to recognize the Republican house as st
present constituted, or would insist on a
reorganization on bGsisSh sixty three
Republicans, ffty-eight Populists, three
Democrats and one Independent is
question. Should the Populists surrend-
or, all members to whom they have
given seats on contests would be left out
on new organization and it is probable
that they would demand that the two
members the Republicans have taken in
on contest be dropped. If the Republi-
can house was regularly and legally or
ganized according TO parliamentary law
and the statute, there Is no doubt that
all action by it, including the unseating
of two Populist members, is legal, but
Mr.. Campbell insists that the Repubh-
can house, while it originally had sixty
three certificate members, was not prop
erly organized and that, therefore, in
the settlement of the trouble, there
should be a reorganization and a new
deal all around.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Feb SIT is
now definitely settled that only two Of
the four white men murdered belonged
to Humphreys camp. They were Rod
nsy Royce, of Wisconsin and Emanuel
Bennett, of Breckenridge, Mo. The
two strangers live eight miles south Of
this agency, and were looking for three
stray horses. One was son of Clark
Bacon, the other step-son of Humph-
rey Bay, named William Kelley, aged
IS and Is years respectively. They
were poor, Woodworking and industri-
GUS boys. The report that they were
drunk Is an injustice. I,
Every particular obtainable now,
which is also corroborated by the state
ment Of Policeman Bear-Runs-in-the
Woods, points to a premeditated MUIR
der. The cowboys were brutally MUIR
dered while sleeping by Chief Two
Sticks, his sons, First-Eagle. Mark and
White Face-Horse. The cause was
simply that the men were white. Two
Sticks and his followers, before them
der, told Bear that he and his friends
had just finished dancing IN the sweat
house and that while dancing were told
by the spirit of their forefathers to kill
all the whites found because they had
killed all the buffalo and had deprived
the Indians of their possessions. An
hour afterward Two-Sticks' friends fell
upon the sleeping COWBOYS and muir
dered them in a fiendish manner. The
cowboys, itel ally riddled with Win
chester balls, had no show to defend
themselves and were killed as they slept.
Out of five in the house, one, Charles
Swartz, escaped. He ran away from
the house where the killing took place
and hearing shots jumped on his bron-
cho and escaped.
Young Man-Afraid-of His Horses and
He Dog, son-of-law of Red Cloud, came
to thesa agency and asked for authority to
arrest the two escaped murderers and
bring Two Sticks, who is mortally
wounded, to the agency. He Dog is
fighter and stalces his reputation and
promises that he will arrest and bring
every one to the agency who partici-
pated in the murder. The agent will
not give his consent to this arrangement
until he sees that the police are unable
to make the arrests.

Short Sketch of Mrs. w itney.


Short Sketch of Mrs. w itney.
Mrs. Whitney fully deserved the name
of social leader. She was not sur
passed by any Of the charmed circle out
side of which such an expert as Mr..
Ward McAllister holds there is no So
ciety. The social functions over which
Mrs. Whitney has for several seasons
presided as hostess have been numerous
and varied. Upon these occasions her
characteristics have been unexcelled
dignity and grace, charming self posses
sion and the rare qualities of ndliness
of spirit and genuine hospitality. While
her life and name were to remarkable
degree linked with political, official and
financial, as well as social greatness, she
counted her friends in many classes, and
her undemonstrative generosity won the
gratitude of those who have met her.
As is well known, one of her closest in
Inmates was Mrs. Cleveland, wife the ex-
president and president-elect of the
United States
Mrs. Whitney's girl life was in Cleve-
land. Although only on the threshold
of forties Mrs. Whitney's hair was pre-
maturely white. Her face retained q
great measure of youthful freshness and
sweetness that characterized it when she
was married to Mr. Whitney, then q
hard working lawyer of modest income
and scarcely any means, score of years
ago. Mr.. Whitney's first official po-
sition was gained only few years ago
when he formulated the duties and bore
the corporation counsel to the city Of
New York

state administration officers. are after

say they can substantiate their charges
of corruption against him. Yesterday
was made public the result of the ev1-

three weeks. The day Higgins turned
over the Office of the secretary of state
to his successor an investigation was
commenced by the new state officers,
which has seemingly rewarded them
