lutely no interest inplacing Mr..
Smith in a false position politi-
cally or otherwise. We be-
leve, in fact that he has
proved his great confidence in
him mbynominating him as guard
ian for his orphan nieces and
nephews few days ago. Mr..
Smith is not in favor for:annexa-
tion except he and his crowd
can control the government
under the stars and stripes.
He gave his honest opinion to
John Richardson when he
warned him against joining the
new annexation party without
consideration or hesitation.
When Mr.. Smith, in the pres
ence of the. l20 gentlemen
present at the American
League Hall, talksS sSdifferently,
he circumvents facts and he
plays to the gallery.
Mr.. Thurston denies that he
ever approached anybody in
regard to a Kaiulani monarchy.
He admits that it was whis-
pered upon his arrival here
that he was in favor of such q
movement. Now he has been
here for several weeks and he
must know that the American
papers are teeming with refer
ences to his monarchical in
tentions. He admits that con-
ciliation is necessity and he
dares not repudiate the accu-
sactions against him in the face
of the prominent Hawaiian
who sat opposite to him when
he delivered his well prepared
address, and who laughed in
his face, Mr.. Thurston in
1892, in the Legislature, stated
that he would go into partner
ship with the devil if he
thought that he thereby could
gain his point. Would a man
of the principle indicated by
that utterance hesitate in tell
ing an ordinary, commonplace
lie to the 12O. followers whom
the League was able to raise
on that right.
Mr. Hatch joined in th'
annexation song and he took
the first part in his abuse O
the planters. Does anybody
believe for a minute thai
these three lawyers, each o.
whom is in the pay more or les
of sugar barons, reolly NEAR
what they say when they tel
100 horny-handed sons Of toi
that they are their bosses ant
that the planters are offensive
obnoxious and obstructive ?
Thurston, Smith and Hatcl
are three very nice fellow
when you meet them arounc
the streets, but when the.
combine and as q trio try t
throw dust in the eyes of th'
community they are not sue
cesses and their career as dinn'
Museum freaks will be limitc'
and "Aunty" General Nevi'
Armstrong, their exhibitor
will be out of a job.

king" Of Chicago.
The Fifth Avenue Baptist church had
been magnificently decorated, and over
900 invitations had been issued to the
wedding. An attack Of pleurisy with
threatened pnuemonia, however. kept
Mr.. Mccormick in his rooms at the
buckingham, and. in consequence the
invitations to the church were recalled
as far as possible last night. and in
stead the marriage was solemnized in
Mr.. McCormick's apartments at the
hotel. Mr.. Mccormick was able to arise
and dress and met Miss Rockefeller in
the apartments, and the marriage was
held, and they were made man and
wife by the Rev. DR.. Faunce, who was
assisted by DIR. Hall. Only the imme-
diate friends and relatives Of the two
families were present at the ceremony.

WHITNEY'S HOODOO.
1t May Cost Thousands of Dollars to Re.
pair tho Texas.

It May Cost Thousands OF Dollars to Re.
pair the Texas.
Washington, Nov. e6.-Although the
damage to the battleship Texas, which
was severely strained when being dry
docked in Brooklyn a short time ago
may be of very serious character, IL
Is an easy matter to see that among
the construction corps Of the navy de-
partment there is very little regret over
the accident.
The Texas was not designed upon
plans drawn by American naval con-
structors, but was one Of Secretary
Whitney's schemes for building up the
new navy upon what he considered to
be the line Of British naval architec-
tural progress. He paid S27 900 for the
plans and had the vessel built at the
navy yard in Norfolk. 1t has been a
hoodoo from the start. Half a dozen
accidents have occurred to her and
only last summer two men were killed
by a lightning stroke while at work
upon her hull. The Texas Is by no
means a tyne of the new navy but Is
as foreign to the other ships as her
plans were to the construction bureau.
1t will probably cost a great many
thousands of dollars to put her even
in as good shape as she was in when
she made the trip from Norfolk to New
York. but the department Is reticent
concerning the extent of the damages,
and 1t is unlikely that the real facts
will be known for some time to come.

the late Henry D. Plate. Colt, for rea-

shot Miss Plate and Immediately af-
terwards sent a bullet crashing into
his own head.
Colt, who Is 3S years of age, was q
frequent caller at the Plate mansion.
one of the most conspicuous dwelling
houses in West Arlington.
About an hour prior to the shooting
Colt and Miss Plate boarded a street
car near the Erie bridge. At that time
there were two women In the car,
and they were acquainted with Colt
and Miss Plate. The quartette chat
ted and laughed merrily, and neither
Colt nor Miss Plate acted as II they
ever had a care on their minds. Colt
and his companions, on leaving the
car started toward Magnolia avenue.
on which the Plate mansion stands
They were at a point about 300 feet
west OF kearney avenue Wnen Colt
drew a revolver and fired at his COM
panion. The bullet penetrated the
fieshy part of her arm. She screamed
and turned to escape. when her assail-
ant fired again. The bullet this time
struck Miss Plate at the base of the
spine, but her corsets and the heavy
dress goods she wore probably saved
her life. as the leaden missile glanced
off and fell to the ground. "A third
time Colt fired but the bullet missed
its mark. Colt then turned the weapon
toward himself. and sent bullet into
his own head. The young woman was
able to walk to her home. Colt was
sent to st. Michael's hospital. Little
or no hopes of his recovery are enter
tanned.
1t was learned this afternoon that
about a month ago Colt attempted to
shoot Miss Plate while they were out
walking because she refused to marry
him.
Lately. it is said, Colt has become
very jealous Of the young lady, and
for several days he has loitered about
the Plate residence. his features par

MORTON'S SEED ORDER.
Secretary May Dc Questioned Regarding
the Stopping of the Gratuity.


Washington. Nov. 26-Some of the
incoming members are talking of haul
ing Secretary Morton over the Goals
because of the position which ne has
taken in the matter of the distribu-
tion Of seeds.
They point out that the law Is i'm
perative on the subject and that the act
which made an appropriation for the
purchase Of seeds also stipulated that
the packages should be ready for dis
tribution by the 10th of January. On
the other hand, however. there are
scores Of members, especially those
representing suburban districts, who
declare that the seed scheme, as it has
been conducted for the past twenty
years. is humbug and a fraud.
The man who represents the Bowery
district In New York, for instance, has
absolutely no use for the ten or twelve
thousand packages of seeds which
have annually been assigned to him.
The abuse which grew up from the
printing OF tons Of useless literature
has been In a measure corrected by
the new printing law which went into
erect last spring but 1t was only by the
arbitrary action of the secretary of
agriculture that the seed folly was
stopped.

Wreck Near Steel Works Station That
Delayed Travel for Time.
Three cars left the Delaware and
Hudson Railroad track near the steel
works station yesterday morning,
blockading the down track until even
ing.
A box car filled with lumber and sew
eral fiat cars were being pushed into a
switch when the trucks of one Of the
cars left the track. In an instant the
box car was on its side and the two fiat
cars were also dragged from the rails.
One Of the cars struck q railing that
guards a culvert at that point, which
alone prevented 1t from falling to the
ground, some distance below.
The passenger train due in this city
at noon was delayed half an hour by the
wreck and for the remainder of the day
all trains had to use the north bound
track. No one was injured.

Flower were summoned to another
room, where they met privately q

the society. and who has been prom
incntly mentioned in the scandal The
girl told the officials who was respon-
sible for her condition. and made a
clean confession. sensational In the ex-
treme. She will probably 90 on the
stand and repeat her statements made
In private. In the testimony offered
this morning. It was stated that Fred
Dorrent, son Of D. E. Dorrent, sscre-
tary Of the society, had taken girl
from the Anti-Cruelty home to . house
of shady character. Other testimony
Of like import and much Of It. was
brought out against the elder Dorrent.
The prosecution has been unable, as
yet to locate d. e. Dorrent and Lizzie
Mcmillan. They were seen together
late yesterday afternoon, but the ef.
forts of special officers to locate them

also that some of the directors of the

Peter Kunz, an ex-agent Of the So
ciety, in his evidence, stated that when
Dorrent made his first report to the
state board Of charities, the figures
were falsifled to show an apparent de.
felt of $3.50. between the expenditures
and the state appropriation, when in
fact there was an actual surplus.
NJ. j. Dean, the organist Of the So
ciety, testified that ne was compelled
to sever his connections with the So
ciety on account Of Secretary Dorrent's
shocking immortality. The testimony
Of ex-Matron Dachroth was so immoral
that the lady asked to be excused from
