The President Transmits the COTTe-
SpOndelCO to Congress.

Vice President Hatch Resigns, Owing
to the Necessity Of Leaving the
Countrv-w. O. Wilder Elected to
the Vaoanoy-A Petition From the
Hawaiian Patriotic League.
Washington, Jan. 22.-The President
transmitted TO congress to-day some adj
dititional Hawaiian correspondence, but
it was not of a sensational character.
Minister Willis, under date of Jan. 6,
reported the resignation of Vice Presi-
dent Hatch. ''under the necessity of going
beyond the limits of the country and
the election of w. c. Wilder to the va
cancy, and the separation of the Office of
minister of foreign affairs from the presi-
dency, as previously reported in the
Southern Associated Press dispatches.
Under the same date, he says: 81 send
herewith the petition OF the Hui Aloha
Alma, Hawaiian Patriotic1 League, an as
sociatlon which claims to represent over
5000 legal voters. The petition was
brought here last night by Hon. J. A.
Cummins, the honorary president of the
association, and Mr.. A. Marques, a men,
ber of its executive council, who state that
they were committee for that purpose" !"
The memorial, which is addressed to
the President starts out by saying
"The Hawaiian people are moved
with the deepest concern in view
of the delayed and uncertain condition of
affairs in Hawaii, and also of the active
hostility that seemed to have suddenly
the policy Of your excellency and the
American Administration regarding our
unhappy little country, and the just re-
storation'of'our national monarchy" 1t
then "reproaches the newspapers of
America for their unchivalrous and un-
truthful abuse of our queen" 1t asserts:
/. That through Minister Stevens
conspiracy the Hawaiian people have
been deprived of their political rights.
2. That the,inhabitants of Hawaii are
now living under an arbitrary rule.
3. That the people have lost all conf
dence in the administration of justice, as
the supreme court is now filled with ad-
venturers.
4. That the public funds have been
squandered for the maintenance of an un-
necessarily large army composed entirely
of aliens.
5. That all the native and foreign roy
alists have been disarmed.
6. That foreign clubs and leagues, com
posed mostly of Germans, Portuguese
and Scandinavians, have been called into
existence for the support of the reVolu-
tlonary government.
z. That these clubs have threatened
murder, violence and deportation against
those not in sympathy with them.
The memorialists say that although the
principle of monarchical government may
be distasteful to the radical democracy of
America, tits the chosen and preferred
form of the Hawaiian people
g. Therefore they say in conclusion
'We now pray the God of common faith
that right, justice and honor prevailing,
Hawaii, our home and country, be again
allowed to enjoy the blessings of an indie
pendent autonomy and constitutional re-
gime which was so UNANIMOUSLY subverted
on Jan. II, last"
This is signed by J. A. Cummins, hon
orary president; Josef Nawahi, president,
and seventeen others, including John e.

PROHIBITION IN IOWA.
A Supreme Court Decision Makes It a
Dead Letter.


Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 22.-The supreme
court to-day decided the famous case of
]. A. Harvey VS.. w M. Mcfarland,
secretary of state, involving the constitu-
tionality of the prohibitory amendment to
the state constitution adopted in 1892
Ten years ago the supreme court decided
that owing to certain errors in the
journals of the general assembly the
amendment was not conStitutionally
adopted and therefore void. The state
temperance alliance found proofs, that
these errors were in the Jour-
mails only, and that all the
constitutional requirements were COM
piled with. This action was brought by
mandamus proceedings to compel the sec
retary of state to furnish the plaintiff
copy of the amendment, the alliance hop
ing thus to get the old question before the
supreme court That tribunal.
however, refuses to reopen the
question, and holds that Secretary
Mcfarland cannot be compelled
to decide as to the legal effect
of any Of the records in his custody, and
he is Just as much bound by the decisioa
of this court that the alleged amendment
was not legally adopted as any other pub
lie officer or private citizen Of the state"
This decision puts final quietus on
constitutional prohibition in Iowa, and
leaves nothing of prohibition but the
statute, which will probably be repealed
by the present legislature.

posse of several hundred citizens have
been hunting all last night and to-day for

pected negro was traced TO tramp camp
ing ground near Billings. Some of the
tramps recognized the negro as the sus-
pected perpetrator Of the outrage and in
formed the citizens. A farmer at once
went TO the camp and tried to shoot the
negro, but his revolver missed fire. The
negro then made desperate fight TO es-
cape. threw off his assailants and dashed
into the timber, where he is now sur
rounded. He cannot escape, and the
posse are surrounding him. He will
surely be captured before night, and his
fate will probably be horrible one.
