WAsnINGToE, D. c., Feb. 2l.-Scna-
tor Morgan submitted tho report no
has boon preparing on Hawaii to tho
full membership Of the committee on
foreign relations to-day aud it was
adopted by minority vote. Tho four
Republican members Of tho committee
voted for Senator MorGan'a report and
tho four Democratic members voted
against tho report drawn by the Ala.
banH senator. These four Democrats
will prepare n minority report next
Monday morning.
The Republican mem6ers OF tho com.
mittee do no fully concur in the report
prepared by Mr.. Morgan, though it
does not criticisc Minister Stevens,
leans toward annexation and generally
favors the policy OF the Hnrrison ad-
ministration. 1t. however, does not
crIticise III as vigorous terms as tho Re-
publicans wish tho policy OF the pres
ent administration, although it is
drawn in such language that the Rupub-
licans feel that they Gun subscr!bo to it,
even II II docs not 20 quite as far as de-
sired. Itis much more in line with the
policy advocated by the Republicans
than was ut first anticipated.
1t was thought at first perhaps the re-
port would not satisfy either tho Demo.
Gratis on tho committee or the Republi-
cans, and that perhaps three reports
would be prescnted. This is truo to a
certain extent, yet it ia tho Democrats
who feel compelled to submit tho
minority report. 1t is possible that
some individual opinions will Ge sub
mitted by Republican members OF the
committee, stating that whilo tho con-
cur in the report in the main, somc
features will be objected to.
All tho testimony will bc submitted
with the report next Monday.

ITHACA, n. Y, Feb. 21.-Laat night
the Cornell freshmen held their ban
Quet and tho sophomoros held their
"iun," as they call il, with tho rosult
that Mrs. jackson, colorod cook, is
dead and several students Rrc not OK
pectod to live. Tho particulars OF last
nights "mcrc boys fun." rs it is callod,
as near US can bo learned arc as follows:
The banquet was spread in the large
hall formerly occupied by tho Masonic
iratornitics. At o'clock tho freshmen
wero to meet on tho hill and march
down to tho banquet hall. About 10
O'Clock the freshmen reached Tioga
street. Ihon 'rush," rs they called
It, began, but in reality it was nothing
less than a FREQ fight. The rush was
only ended when tho last freshman was
safely in tho hal.
Thlng3 went along smoothly enough
until about II o'clock. whom 4 sensation
was discovered. First appeared color
cd woman led by two men. She was
iAIntlnE and apparently nearly dead.
She was taken over 10 DR.. LoCkerby's
and means takon to resucitate her. But
all attempts proved OF no avail and a
lew moments alter II o'clock sho died.
Soon alter she was led out OF the
building number OF students were car
red out, among them young Mcneil. OF
PITTSBURGH. Tho efforts to revive them
proved moro successful and they recoy-
cred sufficiently to be taken homo and
put under care Of physicians.
A vigorous investigation rs to the
cause oil tho trouble showed that somo
one entered the room underneath the
Kitchen and bored two holes in the cell
inGs above. On n table stood q largo
jug corKed. In the corner wero two rub
Der tubes which ran nearly up to the
ceiling where they were connected with
Two glass tubes. Thcsc ran through
tho holes in the floor. thus liberatin2 in
tho room above the gas generated from
tho Jug which was found to be chlorine,
mixture OF salt and sulphuric acid.
At II o'clock this morning q hasty
summons ior doctor gave risc to the
story that Thomas Mcneil. n student.
was dead, but later investigation showed
TINS to be false. Mcneil however, is
very Ill from the effects OF the poison
aus gas, but the chances for his recov-

TWO CHANGES

Susnr Schedule Not Yet Settled.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 2l.-The
senate committee on finance was the
sceno OF two changes to-day. 1t was
announced nuthoritatiyely at noon that
Senator Mills would retro from the
committee and that Mr.. Mcpherson
would resume his seat and Mr.. Mills
confirmed the report.
When tho senate adjourned this
evening Mr.. Mills stated that there has
been reconsideration, that Mr.. Nc
Phorson did not believe himself in
stato OF health to warrant his uudortak.
ing the work OF full member OF tho
committee, and had asked Mr.. Mills TO
continue as a member in his stead,
which he would do.
Tho second change has set at rest n
number OF rumora which were atloRt as
to tho cause OF tho first change. One
OF those was to tho effect that it WAS
brought about by the dissatis-
faction OF Eastern Democratic senators
with tho work OF the subcommittee.
This dissatisfaction certainly exists to
degree, but it is understood that it Is
directed at the bill generally, and that
solnc OF the disagreements have been
harmonized.
Sugar remains the principal disturb
ing elcment and n member OF the
finance committee said to-day that but

members OF the committee would be

]. Rummel against George ". ostran-
der as treasurer OF Council No. 9, Amer
ican Protective Association was heard
before Justice soagrave this af.
ternoon. The testimony developed
the fact that the members OF No. 2 re-
ceived what they considered reliable
warning that tho Catholics were prepar-

No time was lost, and to tho end that
A. T. a. lives would not be sacrificed
without resistance committee was ap-
pointed to purchase arms.
Sample guns were ordered from Rum
mel. Four Of these were returned and
tifty-five repeating Winchesters were
purchased. A dispute arose over the
number OF arms furnished and the 4.

fifty.
Failing to effect settlement, suit was
instituted, and at the trial members OF

bought guns OF the council at the time,
which proved that the disputed order
had been filed by Rummel. The jury

hecs in regard to publication in the

many particular OF the statements made.

took place aud nothing out Of which it
could be manufactured. "The circum-

tIOn Un:nvorably Received.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Fob. 2l.-From
the views exprcssed,by members OF tho
house committee on agriculture the
prospect OF a,iavorabIe report upon one
OF the bills for a government appro.
priation to cXtorminato the Russian
thistle from wheat lands OF tho north
middle states ia not bright.
Senator rllGnsbrouph, OF North Dakota,
was accorded an audience by the COM
mittee that he might explain the reces-
sity Tor aggressive measureI against tho
pest which is playing havoc in tho
Dakotas and adjoining lands. His bill
to appropriate Sl,00O,O00 for the pur-
pose had been fnvorably reported from
the senate committee on agriculture.
Reports oil the department OF agri-
cultural experts quoted by the senator,
estimate the damage inflicted by the
weed in 1892 ut $2,00O,O10, and in 1898 at
$5,OO0,0O0, with :ho prediction by Bota-
mist Frederick V. Cavile that il rcpres:
sive measures are not adopted the an
nual damage in tho near future will
roach 100000. The inability TO cope
with the recently imported pes: was set
forth.
Ono southern member OF the com
mlttee said that his state was overrun
with stumps and stones, and that the
government might be asked TO give
money for removing them.
The llansbrouSh plan, tho senator ox-
planned, would involve cost OF fifty
cents an acre for removing the thistlea.
The infested country would bo divided
into forty districts, in each OF which
the work would be in charge Of I super
intcndent Mt salary OF S. 80 day.
"A member commented on this plan
that it would mako thistle raising more
profitable than wheat growing.
