1esns Tsstimony N the wisconsin Roster

MADISON, Wis, March IL. - The
gigantic nature Of the roster job given
By the governor to the defunct Times
was illustrated when one Of the plaintiffs,
George Dow, testified that the plaintiffs
creed to give the governors private
secretary 5000 bonus for the roster
contract for $4,000 volumes, and that
then the plaintiffs would make q
good thing on 1t. The court shut
ont all testimony relative to the cost of
en- edition of the rosters printed several
years ago. Clark always claimed, >when
inveigling the plaintiffs into this invest
ment, that the state paid an excessive
price for that edition. and that under
the Peck contract the state was
to save great amount of money,
and the plaintiffs so believed. But
the defense objected to any evidence on
that point, and the Judge ruled in their
favor. The object of the defense is to
show that the plaintiffs took hand in
the job with eyes open, and if any con-
spiracy existed they, too, were in it.
Corroborated by Rob Dow.
Plaintiff Rob Dow testified in the ros-
ter case, corroborating the evidence
given by McFail and George Dow in all
important matters in the negotiations
for the secret contract, securing the
legal opinions of Defendants Bashford
and O'Connor, etc. He testified that
when he called on Governor Peck and
told him that Clark had repaid S., 900 of
$4,000 paid on contract the governor
expressed qualification, followed the
witness to the door and said he was very
anxi ous to have the matter settled and
get the papers in the deal back.

HAwAAIIN TREATY OF 1857.
the Proposal to Abrogate It VIII Cause
= Lively Debate In the Senate.

She Proposal to Abrogate tt win Cause
y Lively Debate In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, March ID The indica-
tons point to a heated debate in the
senate over the clause in the senate tar
lift bill inserted by the finaItce committee
providing for the abrogation of the
Hawaaiin treaty of 1857, and the subject
is already beginning to attract attention
on both sides of the chamber. This
treaty provides for a gener exchange
of the products of the t wo countries
free of duty, and includes sugar, the
principal Hawaiian export to this couu-
try, the United States, ih turn being
permitted to export agricultural
implements and other machinery,
and manuf ctures of wobl and cotton
textile fabrics, as well as great
variety of other articles to Hawaii,
without the payment of dpty. 1t also
contains provision that no other for
eign government than this shall acquire
title to any port or barber in the Ha-
w,Eiian islands. There are a number or
senators on the Democratic side who
will object to the clause, and 1t Is be-
ieved that the Republican party in the
senate will be almost solid in its opposi-
ton. Already objection is heard not
only because the termination of the
treaty would deprive this g ounty OF val
uat lie prerogatives in that country but
also that such action would be great blow
to the sugar planters, who are depend
ent upon obtaining free commercial
intercourse to the United States. The
clause was inserted as a concession to
the sugar interests in this country,
whose friends in the senate will exert
their influence to have it retained.
During 1898 2sS,517, $3.50 pounds of
sugar and 1884 gallons of molasses
were imported from Hawaii. These
importations, at the lowest rates fixed
by the senate, would, if the treaty
should be abrogated, bring a revenue to
the treasury amounting to 81, 1856, 525.77.

DA CANVAS TERMS

The Admirars Prop osition to Surrender to
President Peixoto.
Rio JANEIRo, March 14.-The report
which was circulated soon after the ar
rival of the government feet off the bay
of Rio Janerio to the effect that Admiral
Saldahna da CANA, the rebel command
er in these waters contemplated sur
rendering turns out to be correct, and
in all probability the Brazilian rebellion
so far as Rio Janeiro is concerned, will
soon be at an end.
Admiral da CANA sought refuge on
board the Portuguese warship Mindello,
and has sent message to President
Peixote offering to capitulate on the fol.
lowing terms:
What Da CANA Wants.
The rebel admiral offers to surrender
the forts in possession of the insurgents
in the bay and to turn over to the gov
eminent all the warships in the bay
now in the hands of the insurgents, sur
rendering the garrisons and crews to the
government upon the condition that the
admiral and all his officers be allowed
to withdraw to foreign country under
the protection of Portugal, and that the
lives of the insurgent soldiers and sail
ors be spared.
Where Is De Mello?
One report has it that Admiral de
Mello some time ago saw the hopeless
ness of the insurgent position in Rio
bay, and consequently took his two best
ships southwark in order to cooperate
with the insurgent land forces in that
quarter, seeing that the only chance of
a successful ending of the revolt was in
q march on RIO Janeiro by land. The
government is of the opinion that such
movement upon the part of the insur-
gent armies will easily be met and de-
feated by the government troops, and it
is said that after the surrender Of the
fleet number of vessels will be sent in
pursuit of Admiral de Mello, while 9TH
ers will be Immediately utilized in
An Attack Upon Desterro,
the port and island in the south which
is now the headquarters of the insur-
gents, and the seat of the revolutionary
junta. In fact it is reported that the
government has sounded the crews of
the insurgent war vessels with a view
of ascertaining how many men can be
counted on in the contemplated move
ment against Desterro and De Mello,
and the insurgent sailors are so dis
gusted with the seeming desertion Of
Admiral De Mello that a number of
them will lie found willing to man the
government vessels which will be sent
south as soon as possible in order to push
the governments success while the in
surgents are disheartened by the loss of
the larger portion of their fleet.

that Kansas counties paid in, 1898 for
