Cleve1and,s Queer Policy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The Star of
this city thinks that 'Fthe present policy
of the President is the plan of Spreckels,
and that Cleveland adopted it while yet
president-elect, and before Walter Q.
Gresham was ever thought OF being
called to the cabinet. President Cleve-
land is still playing the Independent
man, and strong efforts are being made
to show that the President did not change
front simply because Congress 80 severe
" criticised him. 1t is said that one
reason why the President changed his
mind so suddenly and determined to
send a war ship to Honolulu was because
he was informed by his supporters in
Congress that strong action was Ia the
minds of both houses, and that In order
to prevent an open rupture it would be
best to send a vessel to the islands as
soon as possible, and that such course
would possibly modify the attacks that
would undoubtedly take place.
'fNot alone are the natives in the con-
spiracy, but the British authorities seem
to be in sympathy with the ex-queen,
and it is reported here that they went 80
far as to assure the royalists that they
would recognize the revolution If they
could seize and hold the government house
for three hours. President Cleveland's
action in the matter led the royalists to
believe that the United States was in
sympathy with them, and that he would
probably recognize the Queen if they
succeeded in restoring her, and because
of this belief the overthrow was at
tempted"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-Another chap
ter to the Hawaiian question was added
today, Allen of Nebraska presenting a
resolution for annexation, and George of
Mississippi making a speech supporting
the administrations policy. Pritchard
of North Carolina was sworn in during
the day. The session closed with the
rapid passage of twenty-one pension
bills.
When the Senate was called to order,
Mitchell of Oregon sought to secure the
passage of resolution calling on the
Treasury Department for detailed infor-
nation as to sugar bounty claims, but
objection was made and the resolution
went over.
Allen of Nebraska presented another
Hawaiian resolution as follows:
Resolved, that it is the sense of the
Senate that the revolutionary govern
ment having now become the establish
ed government of the Hawaiian Islands,
q wise and enlightened foreign policy re-
quires that steps should be taken by this
government without unnecessary delay
to annex those islands to the United
States as part thereof, and that in the
meantime the personal and property
rights of American citizens in those isl
ands should be protected by the pres
ence of sufficient naval force in Ha.
Waiian waters.'
The resolution went over until tomor-
row.
The Hawaiian resolution of Lodge was
then taken up, and George OF Mississlp-
pi addressed the Senate in support Of the
administrations policy. He made a
careful legal argument to show that
there was no popular suffrage and no
real republican form of government in
Hawaii. George presented q table
showing the number of days United
States warships had not been at Homo
lulu during the last twenty yesrs. 1t
shows that United States ships have
been there very little of the time during
the last twenty years.

Tribute to Carter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-In the House,
however, today, the recent revolt was
again the cause of q little excitement
when Picker, of South Dakota, taking
advantage of the wide latitude allowed
for debate when in committee of the
whole under the five-minute rule, ad-
dressed the chair on the sundry civil bill
and paid an eloquent tribute to the mem
DRY of Charles L. Carter, the young man
who met his death while fighting for free
government. The Republicans ap-
plauded Picker earnestly, whereat the
Democrats joined in the racket, their
demonstration, however, being intended
in the nature of irony.

Mrs. Maggie went into the front room,

Harry Hayward said this morning
that the absence of any distinct line
Of defense in the opening speech Of
John Day Smith yesterday was by no
means an indication Of weakness, as
the public seemed to think.
"Do you mean by that to indicate
that there Is sensational evidence to
Gomez"
THAT Is just what I mean" replied
the accused. There will be some
facts brought out that may astonish
people"
The crowds in attendance have di-
minished somewhat in size, but are
made up of the usual proportion OF
women, who exhibit the most morbid
curiosity, and even sympathy for the
handsome defendant. Some of the
petticoated contingent will go TO any
length to get n word with him. or an
autograph or u handkerchief for a
souvenir.

Bad For Hayward.

Minneapolis, Feb. 19.-In the opinion
Of all Harry Hayward is nearer the
gallows than he was last Wednesday
afternoon, when the last witness for
the prosecution left the stand.
The question is: What has the de-
Tense accomplished since the prosecu-
ton closed? Nothing; in fact, worse
than nothing. Erwin has unwittingly
dragged his client deeper into the
mire. One of his own witnesses has
worn that he saw Harry Hayward
with Miss Cling on the night of the
murder. They were together on Ken
wood boulevard, and in the buggy
from which the woman's lifeleSs body
vas cast lpon the frozen ground OF
Excelsior road.
Another Of the attorneys witnesses
one chosen to establish an alibi-
testified that Harry bowed. to him in
the foyer Of the Grand opera house in
a n which at the time excited
surprise, If not suspicion.
Three medical experts were intro
duced. In the opinion of two of them
Miss Ging's injuries could have re-
suited in the manner Blixt described.
The other witness said that it was
ibllC IllpOSSiblts liz CslNOAi "SlS
that there were so many points of at
tack, and that the injuries were too eX-
tensive to have been produced by a
fall of three or four feet. This evil
dence docs not fit in anywhere; it is
wholly Isolated.
When Miss Wachter went to the
stand there was promise of sensational
testimony. 1t vas spoiled by Mr..
Nye, who interposed an objection
which the court took under advise
nent. The point raised was that Miss
Wachter, rs Mr.. Odell's stenographer,
is a party to all condolences between
the client and his attorney. 1t was a
nice technically, and Upon Judge
Smiths disposal of it rests some i'm
portant testimony.
1t is very noticeable that the GRO Yds
in attendance upon the trial are grow
ing smaller. Interest in the case has
begun to flag since the defense began
its campaign.

evening and remained there.
About 8 o'clock Gentry walked into
the hotel office and asked to be shown
to Miss Yorke's room. Being unknown
to the attaches Of the house he was
| told to wait a few moments. A mes
sage was then sent to the girls room,
but Gentry did not wait. He walked
out into the hallway and ascNnded by
! means Of the stairway. Miss forke

knowledging tie introduction, Miss
| Clarke says Gentry turned to Miss
Yorke, and in an angry tone demand
ed: "Why did you not meet me to-
day." Before the girl could answer
he whipped out a revolver and fired
three shots at her, each bullet taking
effect, one over the right eye. one in
the center of the forehead n the

mediately rushed from the room and
nothing more was seen of him. A
