How the Michigan salary Amendment
Was Declared Carried.

Was Declared Carried.
LANSING, Mich, Jan. 23.-The excite
ment over the discovery of last week
that the proposed amendment to the
constitution increasing the salaries of
several state officers, which the Off
cial canvass showed was carried,
but was, in fact. defeated by nearly
$4,000 majority, grew decidedly more
intense Monday afternoon II was
proved beyond all question, that the
amendment trebling the salary of the
attorney general, which thedemocratic
board of canvassers declared carried by
majority of 1.2s7, was actually de-
feated by 403 votes. In the latter case
the evidence Of deliberate altering Of
returns Is so evident that no one seeks
70 dispute it One thousand was added
20 the vote for the amendment in
Gogebic county, making it appear that
the amendment received 1919 votes, in
stead Of 3i9 actually received, as an ex-
animation Of the records Of the county
clerks Office in Bessemer made Monday
fully establishes. Aside from this the
vote Of Gratiot county, which gave
a majority Of $50 against the amend
ment, was thrown out bodily and does

vases Clerk Potter is placed in a very
bad light, but insists that he knows

The Ex-Mfnlster TO HAWAII appears Be
fore the Senate Committee
WASHINGTON, Jan, 22-The witness
before the senate committee inrestigat-
ing Hawaiian relations Saturday was
ex-Minister Stevens, who is charged
with having coerced the Hawaiians
and contributed towards the establish
ment of the provisional government By
the use of the provisional forces Mr..
Stevens was on the stand for a long
time and, il IS understood. made
strong denials Of very many
of the positive statements OF
Mr.. Blount. He defended his course
from first 10 last. and declared he had
landed the troops simply for the pur-
pose of protecting life and property.
and he brought ont the point that the
deposed queen herself did not by her
acts, take a contrary view Of the
case. This part of Mr.. stevens
testimony touched on new ground
and was of Importance, he said
that twenty-five hours after the
marines had been landed, and after the
queen had been deposed. she sent to
him and asked that he would direct the
marines to be used in her behalf, a re-
quest which showed, Mr.. Stevens said,
that the queen did not look upon the
landing of the marines as intended TO
be inimical to her

new quarters, ample as they are, were
taxed to their utmost capacity.
The dedicatory ceremonies occurred
about $50 o'clock, being participated in
by the full membership of the local
lodge and large delegation of st. Paul
brothers.

He then said that this new home of the

that the hearts of the brothers would al

I that would partake of its hospitality.
District Deputy Caine responded,
and feelihgly alluded to the fact that
/ the order was the nearest and dearest
thing in his heart. The recent death of
his mother had left his heart sad and
bleeding, but, in tine company of these
brothers, lie could find solace and COM

At the conclusion of the exercises in

equipped In style in fitting with that
lavisiied upon the lodge room. One Of
the club rooms has been christened the
ladies' room, and will be placed at the
disposal OF the wives and sisters of
members. The banquet hall is commOdi-
oqs, and during the day will he equipped
with card tables and utilized for a
club room. 1t Is likely that this will he
made feature OF the lodge. The idea
Is to keep these rooms open all the time
and make them sort of rendezvous, not
only for members but also for visiting
Elks, who, arriving here strangers, will
soon find themselves In the midst of
friends. The idea originated with DIR.
Downey, the chairman Of the board Ut
trustees. who, OH his recent visit to
Boston. found such plan in operation
at the lodge rooms there and noted the
advantages thereof.
The buffet and kitchen complete the
list of departments. The latter is To-
located in the rear of the hall and
abundantly supplied with dishes and
facilities, not only for serving but for
preparing light lunches. This will
afford an advantage, the need of which
has long been felt, and will do away
with the expensive necessity of calling
upon caterer on occasions when no
great fOrinaiity Is to be observed.
