Omaha, June 2.-Major Mortimer
Higley, of Cedar Rapids. Ia. is here
en- route from Hawaii.
Higley is an intimate friend of Pres
ident Dole, and has been in the re-
public some time. and asserts that the
life of the present administration is
very limited unless some of the powers
come to its rescue. He SaysI
They have a thoroughly organized
republic. but the more intelligent class
realize that it is a provisional one nee
esSarily. The sentiment in favor of
annexation is strong. The most kond-
ly feelings are cherished towards the
United States among the natives as
well as the rest of the population. l
predict that if the United States does
not annex the islands Japan will. You
know what the effect of the late war
was on Japan. 1t made her jubilant
and self-confident. She has 10000 citi-
zens in the islands who have settled
there. Besides, the japanese are rest
less under the Hawaiian government
because the government does not al
low the orientals to participate in pub
lie affairs.
1.-THE balance of the population,
however, are allowed to vote, with
some property and educational limits.
Yes, l think that if the United States
does not take control of these islands,
during the course of the next admin
istration, Japan will. But 1 think the
Hawaiians realize the complexity of
the problem, and are in favor of COM
ing in as a territory and not as a
state. President Dole told me he was
In favor of annexation, in order to
give the republic the support of a
strong power, and many of the most
prominent royalists are also, inciUd-
ing Cummings, the leaC;er of the re-
bellion VINO is now under $4,000 bonds
and the English guardian of Princess
Kalulani, who has been a pronounced
royalist, has lately expressed himself
TO the effect that annexation is the
only salvation for the islands. In the
United States we have many Ha-
waiian exiles. They are unanimously
in favor of annexation, as it would
result in the restoration of their
rights"

Jlice of an elderly man who called fire.
uently on Miss Harrington. and who
1ok her out driving. In the mul@ered
oman's room was found a photograph
Z ex-State Senator L. W. Buck, one of
ne most prominent sruit growers of the
tate. The people of the house identi-
Cd the picture of Buck as that Of the
IAN who called to see Miss Harrington
he police sent to Senator Bucks house
Oakland, and requested him to come TO
San Francisco and tell what he knew
# the case. Mr.. Buck started to drive
D the station, but on the way was
brown from his buggy and was seri-
lusly injured. He is suffering from con-
ussion of the brain, and may not re-
over. Senator Buck was at his Office in
Oakland yesterday, between the hours of
Il and o'clock, and it is known that
The murder was committed between IL
md 1 o'clock. A young Japanese who
had engaged a room in the house has
oeen detained pending investigation. but
it is not believed he had anything to do
with the murder.
Ex-senator Bucks physicians said
tonight that the injured man could
not possibly survive and his death is
only a question OF a few hours. When
pitched out OF the buggy Mr.. Buck
struck the ground on his head, frac-
turing the skull.
While the police will not say def
nitely that they suspect Senator Buck
Of the murder, their actions lead TO the
belief that they think he knows
something about it. 1t has been proved
that Buck was a constant caller on
Miss Harrington and had taken her
driving and to various resorts. The
police say the murder was committed
by someone intimately acquainted
with Miss Harrington and her habits.
Whoever committed the murder let
himself in at the front door with a, key
or rang the bell If Miss Harrington
let the man in. 1t was undoubtedly
someone with whom she was on in
innate terms. as she was only par
tally dressed when the murder was
committed. The police searched
through papers found in Miss Har-
rington's room in the hope of finding
some clew When asked what the re-
suit of the search had been Captain
Lees said that he had found certain
evidence which he could not make pub
lie at this time.
Then a conference of detectives was
held, and at it's close Chief of Police
Crowley, accompanied by a detective,
went to Oakland, where Senator Buck
resides. The detectives have investi-
gated the statement made by Senator
Bucks family. that he was at home
at the time the murder was commit
ted. When questioned as to the ac-
curacy of this statement. the detective
who made the investigation avoided
the question. Owing to Bucks promi-
hence and the tragic fate that befell
him before he had an opportunity to
clear himself of the suspicious which
have grown up against him, or explain
his connection with Miss Harrington.
the murder has created an amount of
interest only exceeded by the Emanuel
church murders a few months ago.

FIRST OF THE SEASON.
Girl Goes Out with a Fool and
Is Drowned.

Atlantic City, n. J., June 1.-THE
first droTnin. accident on the bathing
grounds for over a year occurred at
| the foot of Illinois avenue today.
! Charles r. Thompson, of Cleveland,
O., and Miss Jennie Grogle, aged Il,
Of Philadelphia, were in the water
Thompson took the young woman a
dangerous distance from the shore to
| give her swimming lessons. They
were caught in a whirlpool near the
boat jetty, and becoming separated,
| cried for help. There were scores of
| bathers on the strand but no one
started to the rescue and with a de-
spairing cry the girl sank beneath the
waves, while several looked on. Rob-
ert Brady, a brother of the bath house
keeper, heard the WOman'S last shrek
and taking off his coat, dashed into
the water to ThOmpsOn'S assistance,
reaching him as he was sinking for
the last time. 1t was a brave res
cue and Brady is the hero of the hour.
Miss Grogle's body has not yet been
recovered.
Mrs. James Farley, a relative of
Miss Crogle, lodged a complaint
against Thompson tonight. charging
him with criminal negligence in having
taken the unfortunate young woman
too far out from shore. He was ar
rested and at the preliminary hearing
said his real name is Crawford and
that he is not an expert swimmer. He
was held without bail to await the
result of the inquest. It is asserted by
witnesses to the tragedy that it was
the result of the recent building of
jetty at the point where the drowning
occurred. The presence of the jetty
has caused the waves to wash deep
hole in the sand at its outer end, max
ing a precipitous step-off of great
depth in comparatively shallow water.
A gentleman and two children mar
rowly escaped drowning in the place
during the morning hour. their rescue
being effected only by the extraordi-
nary and timely exertions of some
bathers who were in the vicinity.

Charges of Corruption Against Dep
uties and Senator's.

New York. June "A special to the
World from Paris, says the discussion of
Figaro's revelations respecting the cor
rupting of deputies and senators by the
South France railway developed a storm
in the chamber. Tha g 5vernment narrow
~. escaped defeat. NJ: Rounnel, a social
list deputy, accused the ministry of pro-
tecting the inquiry into the scandal in or
der to avoid prosecuting ex-ministers
guilty of accepting from the railway
brides amounting to 500, 600 nearly three
years ago, as the French law takes no
account of bribery older than three years
Rounnel invited the government to pros
ecute the case Immediately.
NJ. TraieuX, the minister of justice said
the charges are improved except with re-
gard to Senator Magner. He objected to
demanding a report from the commission
as the inquiry into the scandal is not
completed. Deputy Faures denied the
minister's statement, and produced copy
of the report.
This produced a great sensation. NJ.
Goblet's motion censuring the governm ent
was lost by only Is votes. A resolution
blaming deputies forming together in fin
ancial affairs, was afterwards carried by
421 votes against Is, a moral defeat for
the government.

CUR FINANCES.
What Treasury Officials Are Now
Predicting.


Washington, June 2-Treasury Of
ficials are now confident that the close
Of the fiscal year, one month hence,
will show a deficit of not more than
$4,000, 600 and possibly not more than
$43,000,000 which is at least $4,000, 600
less than was predicted only a few
weeks ago, and So, 100000 or 100000
less than the present figures. 1t is
shown that the payments during June
will be at least $2500O,0O0 less than for
May and that the payments on account
of interest will also be reduced 1,500,-
600, with an increase of the internal
revenue of $1,000, 900 on account of
special liquor, tobacco and oleomar-
garine licenses, which must be paid be
fore July l, and very material reduc-
lions in pensioH and interest pay
ments. 1t is confidently expected that
next month will show a, small surplus,
with the deficit further reduced to at
least $4,000, 600. The month of July,
however, is likely to see the deficit in
creased by at least $4,000, Goo as that
months interest payments will aggre-
gate about $1,000, 600
Disbursements in every branch Of
the government are usually much
heavier in July than in any other
month, so that without the receipts
are greatly increased, the deficit on
August / next will not likely fall much
short of $55,000,000 for the thirteen
months
