When Mrs. Debs called upon her
husband in jail, it is recorded that she
was simply dressed, wearing no other
ornaments than diamond earrings and a

the men who have thrown up good Jobs
at the orders of Debs. They will come
out of it with hardly a cent to their

at almost any price they can get; in
which case how pleasing will be the re-

NEW YORK. Feb. 5.-The Advertisers 8
Washington special says: Cleveland to-
day made last effort to save Wheeler Il.
Peckham from the fate of Hornblower.
Through trusted Intermediary he con-
veyed to the two New York Senators a
threat that if the nomination of Peckbam
for the vacancy in the Supreme Court
was rejected by the Senate he would not
nominate another man from the Empire
State. The Presidents messenger made a
strong point Of the fact that this would
throw the responsibility Of the States not
being represented in the Supreme Court
upon Senator Hill. This threat mad no
effect upon either Hill or Murphy.
The friends of the administration In the
Judiciary Committee then proposed to
Hill that the nomination of Peckham be
reported back without recommendation.
This was. of course, to AVOID an adverse
report. Hill promptly declined this prop
ositon, having no lack OF confidence in his
ability to secure an adverse report.

:. WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Minister Willis
statement in regard TO President Dole's
letter TO him was a Misrepresentation.
Willis said that he did not have time to
forW ard the text of DOle's letter as the
steamship left before he could make a
copy of it. There has been considerable
speculation indulged in by Congressman
as 10 the true inwardness Of this matter.
They could not understand why Dole's
letter in full could have reached the Ha-
waiian Legation in this city, although it
had not been received from Willis by
Gresham. They thought he certainly
could have sent it on the same steamer
that brought the communication to Minis
lister Thurston, and it should have reached
Washington in the same mail.
THE CALL correspondent ascertained
to-day beyond any doubt that Willis eX-
cuse for not sending Dole's letter was
nothing less than a plain and simple mis-
representation. President Dole sent his
reply 10 Willis so that the latter received
il a o'clock of one day and the steamer
did not sail from Honolulu until o'clock
in the afternoon of the next. This gave
him tweDty-0ne hours in which he could
lave made a copy of it to send TO the
State Department. The letter covered
twenty pages of typewritten paper, and
could easily have been transcribed in a
few hours.
When Minister Thurston read on Satur-
day Willis communication to Gresham,
which was transmitted to Congress on
Friday, stating that the full text of the
Dole letter would be forwarded in about
Two weeks. or whenever the next steamer
should leave Honolulu, he caused a copy
of Dole's letter to be made and forwarded
it 10 Gresham, but as THE CALL CORE

plainly when Acting Minister Hastings

ADJUSTING THE BOUNDARY.
Extending the Time for the Work in
the Northwest

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-The President
sent to-day to the Senate the treaty nego-
tiated with the represent tatives of the Gov
ernment of Great Britain for an extension
of the time for making a survey of the
boundary line between Alaska and the
British possessions. The original treaty
providing for joint commission for this
work was negotiated and ratified during
the summer Of 1892 and Commissioners
were appointed on behalf of the two Gov
ernments. In accordance with the terms
of that treaty the commission was to make
survey of the territory adjacent to
that part of the boundary line of the
United States and Canada dividing
Alaska from the northwest territory from
latitude "a deg 40 min. north to the point
where the boundary line enters the one
hundred and forty-first degree OF longitude
west Tbs purpose of the survey is to set
at rest some questions in dispute, going
back to the time of the ownership of
Alaska by Russia and involving conflicting
claims made by the two countries to land
along the seacoast opposite the Channel
Islands. Under the terms of the treaty
the commission was 10 complete the work
within period of two years, which would
expire this fall. 1t has been found imprac-
ticable to accomplish this and the present
treaty extends the time for another year.

His Position Not So Bad as His
Enemies Represent.
Still He Is Penned Up in His Capital,
With Small Chance for
Release.

NEW YORK. Feb. 5.-A special to the
World from San Salvador says: A letter
from President VasqueZ, dated Teguci-
galpa. says that while the position of his
troops Is bad enough it is not as critical as
has been represented by his enemies.
A telegram has been received from
Msnagus, Nicaragua, saying that there is
a financial panic in that place. The Hon.
duran rebels and the Nicara guans who are
investing Tegucigalpa are mutinous, as
they have not received pay for long time
The outer line of Vasquez' defense at
Tegucigalpa has been forced back. The
artillery fire has been incessant and many
of VasQueZ' works have been destroyed.
1t will be difficult for him to prevent being
surrounded by the forces opposed to him.
A special to the World from Guatemala
says: Plots of revolntionists against
President Barrios have been discovered.
The disaffection is especially strong at
Ruezetenango. The President threatens
10 declare a state of siege in case there
should be the slightest sign of revolution.
Those who advocate revolution point out
the fact that the President has not carried
out any of his promises Of constitutional
reforms.
NEW YORK. Feb. 8. - The Herald's
Managua special says: The positions Of
the opposing forces in the invasion of
Honduras by the Nicaraguans are the

BERLIN, Feb. 5. - The Emperor this
evening attended a dinner given by Won
Caprivi to the members of Parliament
and delivered speech. He announced
the fact that the treaty OF commerce with
Russia had been signed. and his Majesty
said that never before had the Reichstag
been called to make decision so fraught
with important consequences as upon this
treaty. It's rejection would be inevitably
followed by tariff war. and at a not re-
mote period by real war.
Let every deputy" he eontin ued, real
ize his responsibility. The favorable terms
of the treaty are entirely due to the per-
sonal intervention of the Car and his
strong love of peace. The treaty is marked
throughout by love and peace. The Gar
has been compelled to overcome vigorous
resistance on the part of the manufacture
ing and commercial interests of Russia"
Emperor William was exceedingly gra-
cious and animated. and remained at the
soiree for three hours. Levetzow, Presi-
dent of the Reichstag, submitted to the
Emperor the grievances Of the farmers
against the financial reform bill, and his
Majesty listened attentively and then re-
peated that the passage offs the bill was of
high political necessity. By passing it the
Reichstag would win the lasting gratitude
of Germans. and he concluded by saying
that patriotism and responsibility forbade
its rejection.
LONDON, Feb. 5.-A correspondent of
the Telegraph at Berlin says: The En-
peror's outspoken support of the policy
of Won Caprivi, as indicated by his speech
at the dinner given by the Chancellor, is
highly significant, proving that he does not
intend to alter the course hitherto fol-
lowed and that there is no chance of
change as the result of the reconciliation
with Bismarck. If struggle occurs 1T
will be between the agrarian opposition
and the crown. The Emperor's S speech has
created a great impression in political
air nj
