TIE GOVERNMENT NOT YET MfRIED
Minister Hatch May Come to
Washington.
THE CASE OF MR.. WILLIS

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. April 1.-The
steamer Almeda arrived today, bringing
the following Hawaiian advices, dated
April 4:
The first news brought here of the trouble
existing between Minister Thurston and
Secretary Gresham was received by the
China, Tuesday. two days ago. 1t was a
great surprise in official circles as well as
in the community. Minister Willis stated
that the first and only information he had
received was through the press dispatches
that reached here on the I'd. The only
notice received by the government was a
telegram from Thurston stating he is on
his way home. His letters written March
20 allude to the rumors. but in a private
letter he stated he intended remaining in
Washington for the present.
Minister Hatch said today:
1--WE have received absolutely nothing
onlc.al In the matter. Six weeks have
elapsed since the newspapers stated Score
tary Gresham's notice was served on this
government. and 1t Is forty-eight hours
but Minister Willis has given no notihca-
ton of any action on the part of the Amer-
lean Secretary of State"
Notwithstanding this the reports are gen
orally credited to be true, with the excep-
tIon of Thurston's reported verbal apology.
MIR. Hatch May Come Here.
The government Is quietly awaiting de-
velopments. If Thurston returns perma-
nently to Honolulu Minister Hatch Of the
fcteign department will succeed him If he
will accept the position. Thurston will be
given his position in the bureau. Attorney
General Smith has been mentioned by
some members of the American League to
succeed Thurston, but his appointment Is
Improbable.
A movement may be made to have Thurs
ton go into the legislature in position
made vacant by c. L. Carter's death. Inn
portant legislation is to come up. for which
he is regarded as an able champion.
President Dole is at present on trip to
other islands, having left just after the
arrival of the China dispatches.
The ministers of the government would
avowedIy like to refuse to appoint a sue
cessor to Thurston. thus necessitating the
recall Of Minister Willis He has made
himself obnoxious to the republic in many
ways of late, and were 1T not for a desire
to keep on friendly terms with the United
States his recall would have been demand
ed long ago: also that Consul General
Mills policy alone keeps them here. To
the body polite of Hawaii they are said to
be persona non grata In every sense of the
word. but President Dole will do his ut
most for a reconciliation before entering
upon policy savoring of retaliatory meas

The President. Income Tax.

President Cleveland has not yet filled out
his income tax return blank, but he is ex-
pected to do so very shortly. 1t is not
known whether he will file it with the col
lector of internal revenue in this district or
send it to New York. He will probably
take the latter course, as he is legal resi-
dent of New York. Private Secretary
Thurber will send his returns to Michigan,
when he makes them out.
The accounting officers of the treasury
will be called on probably to determine
whether it is constitutional to deduct the
500 income tax from the annual salary of
the President of the United States. The
the compensation of the President shall
neither be increased nor diminished during
the period for which he shall have been
elected"

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, April 11.-Dullness was the
most conspicuous feature Of today's pro-
fessional stock operations. but. contrary to
recent custom. advantage was not taken of
the lack Of business to force concessions.
Traders were disposed to tempt profits on
the long side, in anticipation of higher
prices next week. London's early cables
reflected advances averaging about IA per
cent, and brought some orders to this side.
That market will be closed, after today.
until next Tuesday morning, according to
the usual Easter custom
Readings stubborn refusal to accept less
than q per cent of the total anthracite
output is said to have resulted in an in
definite postponement of all negotiations
between the several companies in interest.
The action of the coal stocks. however,
was not such as to indicate any surprise at
this termination Of the over advertised and
over-estimated proceedings OF the last few
weeks. prices in every instance comparing
favorably with those OF yesterday. II
prices are advanced from to Is per cent

of a series of negotiations, and these nego-
ttations fail. leaving conditions practically
unchanged. and the prices Of the stocks
Identified with the advance prove tmpas-
save to the announcement of the failure,
the statement that manipulation and not
merit was the dominant factor would
seem fully sustained.
General Electric was cratic, declining
sharply at the opening, but subsequently
rallying on buying based on a repetition
OF the rumors that the Westinghouse
agreement was practically operative.
The advance in sugar was retarded by
realizing sales on the part of the room.

and featureless. with yesterdays condi-
tions prevailing. Posted rates for long

otherwise rates remain the same.
The trading Of the last hour was void of
significant feature. the evening up of
traders contracts over tomorrow's holiday
being the only business of that period.
The market is -anquestionably bare Of

walls that next week will witness re-
vival of activity. which. unless sentiment

THE NURSE HAD TO RUN.
Made n Fatal Mistake in n Mexican
Hospital.

City OF MEXICO. April 11.-George
Ageson, the Mexican Central foreman who
was accidentally poisoned at the American
Hospital, is dead. This is the first affair
OF the kind which has occurred in the his
tory of the American Hospital.
1t is not known for a certainty, but 1t Is
thought the nurse who made the mistake
has crossed the border at Laredo, and is
now safely over the line in Texas AS the
victim of the mistake lived until within
less than four hours of the schedule time
of the train for getting off Mexican soil.
the unfortunate lady was enabled to reach
United States territory without mishap.
She and the gentleman to whom she is
engaged, and who accompanied her, it is
thought. will be married at once and then
proceed to ST. Louis.

Samuel Gassenheimer. the saloon and
hotel keeper. Is to be proceeded against
again on a charge of selling liquor to
minors. The case was tried in the Police
Court and then in the Supreme Court Of
the District. Several days ago the Court
Of Appeals decided that the Criminal
Court did not have concurrent jurisdiction
with the Police Court and that it was not
necessary to allege in the information that
the minor was under sixteen years old.
Chappelle B. Lincoln. the minor in the
case, swore out a warrant in the Police
Court today. and the case will probably
be called in court Saturday.

HIGH-PRIcED BEEF. d,
Secretary Morton Wants to Know II IA
Cnttle Trust Exists.


Secretary of Agriculture Morton has be-
gun an inquiry into the recent increase in
the price of meats, for the purpose of as
pertaining if any combination exists in vio-
ls.tion of law for the purpose of putting up
the prices Today he addressed letter to
DR.. D. E. Salmon, chief of the bureau of
animal industry, instructing him to fur
nish at once a statement of the number Of
cattle received at the stock yards in Oma-
ha in Kansas City, in East st. Louis, and
in Chicago during the months of January,
February and March, for the years 1874
and 1898, as it is important, just ut this
time, to ascertain as nearly as may be
from those sources what falling Oft there
is in the cattle supply Of the United States
as compared with previous years.
DR., Salmon is further directed to instruct
his agents everywhere to collect and send
in as rapidly possible all reliable data
which may tend to show what diminution
If any, there is in the cattle supply of the
United States for 1895 and also to instruct
them to state whether there Is in their
Judgment any combination by which "a
cattle trust is putting up the price of
teef products, while 1t is putting down the
per capita price of cattle"
The Local Market.
The price of beef in the local maSket has
not advanced during the past two weeks,
Notwithstanding reports of big rise in
New York. 1t is claimed that meat is
dearer today in the metropolis than it has
been for twenty-three years. Three weeks
ago porterhouse steak retailed there at
from % cents to o cents pound, and sir
loin at from 10 cents to Is cents, while to-
day the consumer must pay for similar
cuts of porterhouse 80 cents to 30 cents per
pound and for sirioin 90 cents to "a cents.
The retail dealers in this city are selling
porterhouse steak at D cents pound and
srloin at 20 cents, the wholesale price run
THN hrrCf vrnn do
preston during the past year. forcing a
quick realization on the part Of cattle
owners, and short corn CROP account for
the decrease in the number of cattle and
consequent higher prices, according to the
big dealers. Many of the jobbers, how
ever give different reason, declaring that
the big dressed-beef firms have cornered
the market and run up prices.
Secretary Morton's Views.
Concerning the inquiry. Secretary Nor
ton said today:
1.-The increase in the price of cattle has
been quite remarkable, and certain fluctua-
lions seem unaccountable. 1t would appear
that the primary cause of the increased
price is that the supply is decreasing while
the demand is constant or increasing.
'In Texas there are not ten cattle today
to hundreds short time ago. And the
Four Points, so-called. Chicago, Kansas
City, st. Louis and Omaha-where cattle
are slaughtered. are falling of in their sup
ply for the market"
The inquiry, he remarked. was designed
to bring out Just what influence the big
Four have on prices.

WALTON ELECTION LAW.
Its COnstitutiOnaIity Affirmed by the
Virginia Court of Appeals.

Its COnstitutiOnality Affirmed by the
Virginia Court of Appeals.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, April 1.-THE court
of appeals today passed upon the consti-
tutionality of the Walton election law.
The court goes into every detail Of the
law and declares not only that 1t is con-
stitutional, but an excellent law. One point
of special interest decided is that in the
fifteenth section may" means SHALL" and
that it Is mandatory upon the special con-
stable to aid every ignorant voter, who
may call upon him for assistance in pre-
pairing his ballot. This was a question of
dispute with the newspapers before the
election.
In conclusion the court delivers quite a
homily upon honest elections.
