HAWAII RECOGNIZED
Cleveland Sends a Letter to Dole
Acknowledging 1t.
The President Has FinallySWal-
lowed His Grow.
AN UNUSUAL THING.
Before the House Decided the
Question of Recognition,
The Administration Sends the
Letter to the Republic

WAsHINeToN, Aug. "a letter Of con-
graduation and greeting from President
Cleveland in the name of the United
States Is on the way from Washington 20
President Dole of the Hawaiian republic
The recognition of the new republic was
finally decided pon this week and the
message was framed and mailed on yes
terday through the reg ular channels.
Although the customary secrecy
which attends diplomatic matters has
surrounded the relations Of the United
States with the Hawaiian republic since
that country assumed its new form Of
government, it is now learned on the
best authority that there has never been
any doubt of President Cleveland's course
in the matter and of his recognition of
the new government of Hawaii de
factO government.
A few days ago a letter was received
from President Dole conveying the for
NAL announcement Of the proclamation
of the republic and the inauguration OF
the new government. This letter was
laid before the cabinet and has been
under consideration while the house
committee foreign affairs was de-
batting whether it should report a resOiu-
ton for recognition
With the letter of greeting to Presi-
the hands of Minister Willis. was sent
letter to Minister Willis ratifying his ac-
ton in Professionally extending the usual
recognition to the republic.
Frank P. Hastings who IN the absence
of Minister Thurston is charge d'affaIres
at the Hawaiian legation, has had an in
terview with Secretary Gresham and was
told that he had been formally recognized
as the representative of the new govern
ment.
Chairman McCreary of the house com
mittee on.fOreign affairs says that it is not
customary to give publicity to diplomatic
correspondence until It has reach
ed its destination. Consequently
the letter to President Dole viii not be
made public until sufficient time has
passed for its reception, when a copy
will be forwarded to congress with
copy of the message received from him.
This is the usual course of diplomatic
proceedings but the fact that the exist
ence of the CORES pOndence has been
known may induce the president to
make it public There is d parallel
between Brazil and Hawaii on
these latest developments. Soon after
Brazil had changed to a Republican form
of government, a resolution was intro
duced IN the house by Mr. McCreary,
now chairman of the foreign affairs com
mittee. for recognition, the Democrats
thinking that President Harrison delayed
action unreasonably-
Before the committee could take action
on the resolution, congress was notified
that the president had recognized the
new government

MARTIN A STAL LWART
The Senator Will Not Support
the POpulists,
So Says Chairman Richardson
of the Stalwart Committee.
HEAD OE ETISIONISTS
HEAD OF FUSIONISTS
Said to Have Given Assurances
to Democrats
That He'll Work For and Sup
port Overmver's Ticket.

Senator John Martin Will support Da-
vid Overmyer and the rest of the Demo
cratic state ticket. The chairman of the
state central committee has eceived as
surances from him that as soon as con-
gress adjourns he will enter the cam
paign for the Democratic ticket.
Thus another hope of the Populists
has disappeared. When fusion was sat
down upon. many of the leaders as well
as others, expected that Martin would
take decided stand for the POpulist
ticket, and look for an endorsements in
the form of a re- reelection by the next
legislature. if it is controlled by the Pop
ulists. They also hoped through Mar
tins aid to defect many Democrats from
the support of the state ticket
Chairman Richardson, Of the state CEN
tral committee, made light of the talk
would support the Democratic state
ticket. "It is no use to announce that he
will support the ticket. 1t is foolish to
say that Democrat will support
the ticket of his party, but when con-
gress adjourns you will hear from Mar
tin IN the campaign"
Eugene Hagan, a member of the ex-
ecutive committee. said that Martin had
offered his services to the committee in
the ampaign and will 60 to work just
as soon as he gets back.
The state central committee opened its
headquarters in the Office block today.
The committee will occupy rooms 3, 4,

building The chairman is here but the
secretary, w. II. l. Pepperil of Con
cordia will not be here for some time.
The committee Will carry on vigorous
campaign but it will not be opened Wig

The Latest Developments or the Tariff
Conferences.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-No one could
be found about the capitol today who as
serted that an agreement had been
reached on the tariff nor that there would
be any possibility Of a report today. The
house conferrees are now standing out
for free coal and free iron ore or both.
The tariff conferrees remained in ses-
sion until a few minutes after o'clock,
and when they adjourned the senate con-
ferrees proceeded to the presidents room
where they held a private consultation
free from interference or Interruption.
report, however, soon gained gen
eral circulation that iron ore should be
made free, coal dutiable at 40 cents per
ton, and that the COMPROMISE sugar
schedule should stand. The indications
point to the verihcation Of this latter
report.
A petition was today circulated among
members Of the house urging the house
tariff conferree5 to stand by free sugar
and permanent income tax. Repre-
sentative Bland started the petition, and
il was numerOusly signed. 1t was as
follows: 1--WE, the undersigned Demo
cratic memb bers of the house request our
bill to insist on the provisions of the
house bill relating to free sugar and
permanent income tax, and secure the
best compromise possible on other sched-
ules of the bill.0
Representative McMillin. one Of the
house conferrees, when seen stated that
since the first meeting today be believed
agreement was in sight.
Coal and iron ore had not yet been set
tied, but the main features of the bill
would be agreed upon, so that the Re
publicans could be called in tomorrow.

BABIES IN POLICE COURT.

Two of Them with a Drunken Father
Being Taken Care Of by the 7Iatron.
Two little yellow haired, pink-toe
babies. aged respectively 1 and years,
figured in police court this morning.
They are being taken care of by the mat
ron while their father serves a sentence
for drunkenness
Officer Jones found Robert Condee
wheeling the babies around in an aimless
way at the Rock Island depot last oven
ing waiting d train that had been gone
two hours. The officer thought Condes
was drunk and watched him. Finally he
nearly upset the peram bulator and the
officer took charge of the outfit. COndee
was pretty drunk and the officer says the
babies looked as though they had been
drinking, too. At the trial in court this
morning Condee swore that he had given
the babies nothing. He was drunk
however, and Judge Ensminger fined
him $40, which he is working out.
Ed. Wilson is d one armed white man
and came in with yarn that seemed TO
saw, This police court ennui is sitting"
Ed. declared that he had not been drunk
but admitted that he had been taking on
a little cider. Jailer Woodruff testified
that Wilson was drunk enough to be
prOfanely impudent and had no sooner
been locked up than he engaged IN
fight. Wilson even attempted to be
funny with the judge, but was silenced
with a ten-dolIar fine.
Frank Mccarthy, who had been ar
rested as a suspicious character, was not
tried.
The police court mill was shut down
for the day.

LIKED WATERMELON.

a Slack Mare with An ExousabIs Instinct
. and Very Little Conscience
" pile of watermelnns stood out in
front of a grocery store on the avenue
last evening. About supper time an old
lady and a little girl drove down the
street IN a crippled buggy attached to a
diminutive and antiQuated black mare.
The mare liked watermelons and you
could almost see her smile as the old
lady stopped her before the tenn pting
green pile aud the little girl got out and
tied her to the telephone pole against
which the melons were stacked. A
man who stood near swears the old mare
wsnked at him.
The occupants Of the buggy were
gone now. The mare turned her head
from side to side. No one was looking
She pOked out her nose. She could just
half way up the pile. A little poke
and it toppled over, rolled bumpingly
down the incline of the pyramid
and broke with a plump against
the base of the pole. The old
mare was happy. She shifted at the
melon to be sure that her eyes were not
deceiving her and kicked one hind leg
gently to be sure she was not dreaming.
Then she Waded in. She closed her eyes
and then opened them again. She
She tried first one piece of the melon
and then another as though she did not
know which was the best She burrOwed
her nose into the blushing sweetness and
allowed the refreshing liquid that al
ways goes with melons to trickle from
her nostrils. She snorted in her happi-
ness, and whinnied with overwhelming
JOY She had never found snap SO soft
before.
She would take advantage of this one.
If she could have escaped her harness
she would probably have lain down and
rolled in the red and green and wet. She
rubbed her ear in the juice and did not
kick because she got a seed in her eye.
She wished that life was one long, un-
ceasing round of shade and watermelons.
She would be glad to live on forever,
provided she could hold it all. o, how
happy she was.
She was getting ready to roll off an
other melon when her mistress and the
grocerynlan appeared The mistress
paid the grOceryman forty cents for the
melon and drove the old mare home.
The little girl was the stronger and piled
the whip
