ANNEXATION INEVITABLE.
Views of Ex-Congressman Dixon After
INVESTIGATING Hawaiian Affairs.

i Mont, March 1S.-ExICongress-
man w. w. Dixon, who, it Is understood,
was sent to Honolulu by Chairman Nc
Creary, of the foreign relations committee,
to make an investigation of recent events on
the island, has returned to Butte. He says
he made an Investigation of affairs in Ha-
wall, even to events as far remote as the
overthrow of the Queen, and the entire
tenor of his remarks is in praise of Presi-
dent Dole and his government. He found
the annexation sentiment growing among
the natives and halfIbreeds, who recognized
the hopelessness of the cause of royalty,
and believed annexation would give Ha-
waiian sugar free entry into the United
States, and would therefore boom the ISL
ands. Judge Dixon found that the recent
attempted revolution has strengthened the
provisional government greatly. and that
the government is very conservative in the
treatment of the revolutionists, and not
at all vindictive toward the supporters of
the Queen. TIL stories of torture, he says,
were unfounded entirely. and no one was
forced to leave the country, but many were
given the option of standing court martial
or leaving the islands until such time as
they would be given permission to return.
Ee also found that the men who claimed
the protection of the United States had
a fair hearing, and will receive fair treat
ment. Martial law will be removed within
a month or six weeks and the Queens
sentence RENTED. The Legislature will be
convened in the spring and a general cleo
ton called for the election of a President.
Judge Dixon thinks annexation is inevita-
BILE, and says the only people opposed to
it are the English residents of the ISL
andS.
A dispatch from Washington contains the
following statement by Representative Nc
Creary: Il never sent Judge Dix
ON to Hawaii, and did not know
of his going until after he had
gone. He went to recuperate. the health of
his son. Mrs. Dixon remaining at San Fran
cisco with a relative of mine. in that way
1 have heard of his trip, but | never heard
of an investigation of Hawaii for myself
or the foreign affairs committee, and have
not and will not receive a report on that
subject"
The report that Queen Liliuokalanis sem
tence will be commuted and a general cleo
tion called for the election of a President
is not credited by officials in Washington.
They refer to Article % of the Hawaiian
Constitution, which says: Sanford Bal
lard Dole is hereby declared to be the Pres
idept of the republic of Hawaii, to hold Of
fee until and including the 31st day of De-
cember, 1900. and thereafter until a success
sor shall have been duly elected and quail
fed"

Would Cause a Scramble for Gold.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Tel

sibIe effect of Japan's demanding a large
wal indemnity from China in gold, and is
of the opinion that instead of injuring the
cause of silver it will aid it. II have no
fear,' he said to-day, 'that in that event
Japan will go to a gold basis. The people
there have too long been accustomed to the
use of silver and the country is too pros
porous and progressive with matters as they
are for them to desire a change. Naturally,
however, and, Notwithstanding the popu-

ask that indemnity be paid in gold because
of its greater purchasing power in Europe

POPULISTS WILL HOLD ALOOF.
VIII Not BE the Tail TO an Exclusive
Silver Party.

ST. PAUL, March 1S.-Ignatius Donnelly
and Sidney NJ. Owen, Populist candidate
for Governor at the last election, have made
official announcement that the Peoples
party of Minnesota will not join the free
silver coinage party. Mr.. Donnelly says:
1.-THE idea of our party deserving the prin-
ciples laid down in the Omaha platform
and consenting to be the tail to an exclu-
sive free silver party is almost too silly to
be discussed. The Peoples party has other
and fully as important plans on hand for
the amelioration of the condition of man.
kind. If the silver men are in earnest in
their move, let them join our party. We
have always favored the free coinage of
silver, but we have other plans in view
which we cannot abandon. Had the silver
men stood by our party in the last election
we would nave carried Colorado, Montana,
Washington, Idaho. Wyoming and perhaps
other States. Instead of doing this, they
said that the Republican party in those
States was in favor of the free coinage of
silver. and, therefore,, it was good enough
for them. If that is SO, l do not see why
the same party is not good enough for them

MolIie Caruthers's Confession.

PARIS, Tex, March 1S.-The examining
trial of Mrs. Mollie Caruthers for the MUIR
der of her children, and Jim Strange. her
alleged ~accomplice, was held here to-day.
Mrs. Caruthers made a voluntary state
ment, in which she admitted her guilt. She
declared that size had been contemplating
the deed for eight years and that on one
occasion she had gone so far as to pre-
pare the burial robes for her children.
She stated that she had lived unhappily
with her husband, which was the cause of
her desire to take life. What she did was
done deliberately and she wanted the chill
dren to die with her rather than live with
her husband. Strange had nothing to do with
the tragic deed, she said, although she
admitted corresponding with him and let
ting him have money. There was nothing
developed TO implicate Strange. After hear
ing the case Judge Amonett remanded Mrs.
Caruthers to jail without bail and fixed
Strange's bond at $3.50, which, it is thought,
he will not be able to give.

forth that she is delicate woman, twenty

NEW POLICE REGULATIONS.

Important Changes as to Overhead
Wires md Cutting the Trees.
An entirely new set Of police regulations
will shortly be issued by the Commits
sioners.
For a long time they have been hard at
work revising the old regulations. They
were found contradictory in many in.
stances. and failed to cover very material
points in numerous instances. So it was
decided to reissue the regulations, and in
corporate in the new set everything Of i'm
portance to the citizens and the welfare of
the city. Letters have been sent to the
heads Of each department inviting the chief
to submit to the Commissioners any rev
regulation which he thinks necessary
When all of these answers are received, the
Commissioners will hold O board meeting
and consider them.
One of the most important changes that
will be made in the new regulations is that
concerning the strineing of overhead wires
While this is prohibited by law, the Com
missioners nevertheless have been power
less to stop it, owing to the failure of Con-
gresS to incorporate a penalty clause in the
act. The new regulations will be specific
on this point, and not only make it unlaw
full to string overhead wires, but impose
large fine upon all who violate the regula-
ton.
Another important regulation will con-
Germ the trees of the city, and no one will
be permitted to cut them or otherwise in
terfere with them without having first OBJ.
