WASHINGTON, March 16.-Secretary
Carlisle yesterday made the first enun-
citation of the policy that will govern
his action in the selection of appointees
in the life-saving and lighthous serv-
ice. The announcement was made in
connection with two applications for
positions in the lighthouse service. The
secretary writes:
SIN reply I beg leave to inform you
that the positions for which Mr.. Green
and Mr.. Burger apply are not vacant
and no cause for the removal of the
present incumbents is known. The
great number of 1ight-keepers en-
ployed and their isolated situations
prevents anything like constant over
seeing of their work, and a faithful
performance Of their responsible duties,
involving the safety of vast amounts
OF property and the number of lives
intrusted to their care, depends upon
the good character and competency OF
the keepers themselves. It has been
the policy of the department and OF
the lighthouse establishment to en-
courage and insure a high standard
among them by retaining them in the
service during competency and goc55,'
behavior, and by promoting sknea trans
ferring them to better stations as re-

FROM HONOLULU.

!
Friends OF Annexation In tho Hawaiian
Capital Depressed Over the Hardness OF
tho United states In Welcoming tho Is
lands to the Great Republican Family
Minister Stevens, However, Confident
that the Matter win Come Out All
Right.
SAN Francisco, March 1.-THE
steamer Alameda arrived from Sydney
via Honolulu shortly after noon yester-
day, bringing advices from the latter
place to March .. With the exception
OF Minister Stevens and a few other
Americans, the friends of annexation
were considerably depressed when the
steamer Belgic arrived at Honolulu, on
the I'd, bringing the news that the
treaty of annexation had not reached
vote in the United States senate.
The royalists were correspondingly
elated. Minister Stevens is of the
opinion that popular vote ON the
question of annexation taken in the
islands would be useless With the ex-
ception of the rowdy elements and a
few interested persons of prominence,
there is no strong feeling against an
nexation. President Dole says he has
no reason to believe annexation will
not come. even though it be deferred.
The present unsettled state of affairs
has not only manifestly a bad effect on
commercial Hles in Honolulu but is
strengthening the royalists in their op-
position. A number of secret meetings
have been held at which various meas
ures for the lettering of their position
have been discussed.
So far as known no threats of vio-
1ence or of resort to arms have been
made, but it has been proposed that the
presentation should be made to the
English government in the apparent
apathy to the United States.
The Hawaiian civil rights league has
been formed. 1t is said to be an anti
American organization made up Of roy
alists and others, and contrived to de-
lay annexation, and, If possible. pre-
vent it altogether. Natives do not take
kindly to the league, and it is stated
they propose to form new league of
their own.
Judge Frear, of the city court. has
been appointed to the position on the
supreme court made vacant by the res
ignation by Sanford B. Dole, president
of the provisional government The
retention in Office of A. s. Cleghorne,
father of the princess, as collector of
customs, and other appointments have
caused dissatisfaction among some of
the supporters of the government.
Minister Jones, of the finance depart
ment. has announced that the total
debt of the government is 1921 900.
Charles N. Spencer, minister of the
interior under Lilioukalani, died from

CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.
Facts Revealed by tho Displacement Of
the Republican Administration.

Facts Revealed by tho Displacement of
tho Republican Administration.
The administration which sought to
escape censure by concealing the truth
from the people has gone. The admin
istration has come which proposes to
deal with the people in entire candor
and straightforwardness Its first duty
to the country, to the party and to
itself is to make public at the earliest
moment a truthful statement Of the
condition of the treasury. Upon that
condition at the present iuncture al
most everything depends, the need OF
an extraordinary session of congress,
the opportunity for a reduction of tariff
taxation, the several currency ques-
tions, the necessity for new draft
upon the national credit. Before this
question the matter of appointments
to office drops relatively into insignifi-
canoe. The former is Imperative; the
latter can wait. The business OF the
country is concerned in an exact knowl-
edge of the treasury situation and of
the steps taken to meet it; the prefer
ences of localities as to persons are
concerned in the appointments The
administration must and will meet the
greater and more pressing problem
first.
The dispatch of Col. A. Z. Mcclure
to the Philadelphia Times unquestion-
ably anticipates in a general way the
specific statement which Secretary Car
Isle must soon issue to the country. It
points to deficit in the treasury, SO
considerable that on the last full day
of his term Secretary Foster refused
to meet an obligation of 50, 600, 900
because there was no money on
hand to pay it. It asserts that the
gold reserve of 500, 00O, 900 has been
invaded and is now short by seven or
eight millions of dollars. and thus ex-
plains why the last debt statement by
Mr.. Foster on the first of the month
lacked the usual announcement OF the
free gold on hand in the treasury. The
only pretext offered by the Harrison
administration for it's policy Of evasion
and concealment has been that the full
truth would complicate the situation
and render disentanglement more diff
cult. We're the United States an in
dividual. the excuse might hold good;
but we are bound to assume that the
national credit will be respected and
that it can be impaired in no other
way SO insidiously and effectively as
by . suppression Of the facts. To state
plainly an evil is to take the first step
toward its correction, and retrench-
ment, whenever possible, will enlist
popular approval just as soon a. the
need of il to meet , present EFFICIENCY
il clearly set forth.
II Is very evident that one OF the
earliest acts Of the administration
must be the issue Of bonds The last
administration. uuder m equally press-
ing necessity, chose to neglect thia
duty rather than face the censure
which such confession Of mi1mauase-
ment or worse, would evolke. The

ENVOY TO HAWAII.

senator Blount, OF Georgia. En- Route 60
honolulu to Investigates. ON Behalf or
sno United States Government, tho
Status of Anhirs aud the Popular sents-
ment Among the Islanders.
WASHINGTON, March 16-There is q
suggestion afloat that Mr.. Blount may
go to Hawaii alone just as Mr.. Sedge-
wick was sent to Mexico by Secretary
Bayard as special envoy to investigate
the eating affair. which occurred in
Cieveland's first administration. Mr..
blount has occupied a conservative POI
sttion on the annexation of Hawaii
ever since it was first preached by a
secret commission from the island last
winter. He is credited with having
. suspicion that United States officials
might have encouraged the revolution
and thereby put themselves in a position
to be accused of having part in the
establishment Of the government with
which they are now asked to treat Mr..
Blount, it is said, will investigate the
questions as to how the overthrow of
Queen Liliuokalani's government was
accomplished; whether or not the pro-
visional government represents the
popular sentiment of the islands, and
islands is desirable as business mat
ter. While settling these ques-
tions it is further asserted that
Mr.. Blount will inform the provisional
government that the United States will
not aid it in maintaining itself
against any but foreign aggression. 1t
will not sustain it against any other
form of government cshe people of the
island may see fit to attempt to estab-
lish. 1t is said that the admin
istration early received information,
which was deemed to be reliable. that
the overthrow of Queen Lilioukalani
and the establishment of provisional
government were the result of a plan
formulated by the sugar-producin2 ele-
ments Of the islands, and which was
furthered in San Francisco. Upon re-
ceiving this information the withdrawal
Of the treaty and the appointment of a
commission to investigate the situation
were determined on.
All statements upon Hawaiian sub
jects are more or less speculative and
seem to originate in great part with
the Hawaiians in this city opposed to
the present provisional government.
Whether or not the information they
give out is authentic cannot be ascer-
tanned by inquiry of the state depart
ment, whose officials absolutely de-
cline to say anything on the subject,
maintaining sphinx-lilke reticence on
every point The fact, however, APP
pears to be definitely settled that Mr..
Blount has started for San Francisco
and that he has been accompanied by
Mr.. Ellis Mills as confidential stenog.

Welded IN DEATH.

Shocking Tragedy at Pass Christian, Miss.
Parental Opposition to q Marriage Re-
suits In Murder and Suicide-A Milwau-
kee Couple, Supposed Co Have Gone ION
to Get Married, Found Dead In the Pine
Woods.
PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss, March IA
moststartling discovery was made here
yesterday IN the finding of the bodies
of Miss Alice Nunncmacher, daughter
of Mr.. Herman Nunnemacher, a prom
inent merchant of Milwaukee, and
William B. Miller, also of Milwaukee,
both of whom had been shot through
the head.
Miss Nunnemacher had been spend
ing the winter here with her parents,
and last week Mr.. Miller, to whom she
was engaged. arrived here. Her par
ents opposed the match, and on Friday
afternoon after luncheon she left the
house and when night came on and She
did not return and Mr.. Miller had also
disappeared. it was supposGd thew had
gone off to be married.
On Sunday the parents left. hoping to
find their daughter in New Orleans.
rXssserti lay afternoon young boy
found the bodies in q pine thicket on
the north side of the railroad, about
200 yards from the depot. From
the position in which they were
lying the supposition is that the
young man must have first shot
his company through the left temple
and then shot himself behind the
right ear, and death in both instances
must have been instantaneous. The
affair was evidently premeditated. as
Mr.. Miller had borrowed the pistol
from one of the citizens on that morn
ing. The deadly weapon was found by
his side. where it had fallen after he
had fred the fatal shots.
The news has been telegraphed to
Miss Nunnemacher's father, who is in

Jewish Money Lenders Asked to Boycott

Jewish Money Lenders Asked to Boycott
Russia.
LONDON, March 1.-THE London
Russo-Jewish committee has sent to
every Jewish banker and bank direc-
tor. bank manager, stock broker and
'agent" exchange in Europe a passion
ate appeal to combine in boycotting
Russian loans and in boycotting the
trade in Russian securities generally.
The appeal is significant in connection
with the fact that the Russian govern
ment has just issued ukase providing
for an internal loan and that Russian
bankers are endeavoring to extend
their relations with money centers
outside of Russia Owing to the lead
ing position of Jews in the money mar
kets of Europe it is expected the ap-
peal, if complied with. will eventually
drive Russian securities of all kinds
out of the markets and wreak great
disaster to Russian enterprises.
