regarding the Administrations Hawaiian pol
icy in the debate which took place yesterday
II occurred on Mr.. Lodges resolution requesting
tie President to tell the Senate why United
States .warshp Is no longer stationed at Homo

they fired hot shot into the ranks or the

The Tammany ring In the Board OF Education
Is making good deal Of pOther about the cleo
ton of president at the meeting next Wednes-
day. Mr.. Knox, who secured this office last
year, has been working desperately TO obtain a
reelection, and Mayor GIlroy did what he could
10 help him in the appointments which he made
to the Board few weeks ago. But now, 1t
seems. Mr.. Knox Is wavering, and doubtful
whether 1t will be the best policy for him to
persist in holding OH TO his office. II he can.
Really It doesn't make much difference what he
aud the other Tammany members do. There is
no reasonable doubt that the Legislature will
pass the bill Of the Committee of Seventy reor-
ganizing the Board, and Mayor Strong can be
depended on to make clean sweep OF all the
members who have used their offices for pOliti-
cal purposes Knox ct al viii have 20 go ere

A MONSTER PETITION,

 Hearing Over Two Million Signatures, in
 hHty Different Languages, Asking for
 the Prohibition of the Sale of AlcohoI
 and Opium, to be Formally Presented to
 Many Governments.
 WASHINGTON, May GA remarkable series of meetings, which really com meheed in Washington in February last, will be resumed in London in the week beginning June 16. The Worlds Nemens Christian Temperance union mas Tor some years been organizing a | gigantic polyglot petition in fifty diff | iefent languages, which has now been signed by over 2,000 900 actual sigma lures, and with the attestations of cer- tam great societies, represents 7,50O.- OOO persons. It asks for the prohibit ton of the sale of alcohol and opium by the different civilized governments. The petition is l,s92 yards long and is mounted on over q mile of canvas.
 In concert with Lady Henry somer- set and Miss Willard who presented the petition to President Cleveland last February, Rev. Dr. Lunn, who visited Washington for the great demonstra- tlon when the petition was launched upon its worlds mission, has chartered the steamer Berlin, of the American line, for the conveyance of the Ameri- can contingent and for the transporta- tion of the petition itself, which occu- pies several large cases. Arrange mcnts have already been made for 25O women preachers and speakers to ad- dress the same number of audiences in London on Sunday, June l6.
 most unique demonstration will take place in the Albert hall on Tues day, June Is, when the polygIot pe- tition will be festooned around the whole of the great hall to be presented to the representatives of the British government As each national con tlngent enters the hall 1t will be pre- ceded by q large lag of it's own na- tion, each woman carrying a small na- tlonal flag, and the national anthem of the nation i'll question being played. 0Atter the London convention is con clnded the delegates will proceed to Grlndewald where a temperance con veHtion fis being organized by Dr. Lunn to be addressed by Lady Henry Somerset, Mrs. Josephine Butler, Miss Willard and other leaders of the womens movement.
 In August it is proposed 10 visit the northern capitals in Europe. A steamer is again being chartered to convey the petition and the delegates to Ghristiana, Stockholm, Copenhagen and St. Petersburg. In the late autumn the delegates will continue the crusade, third charter beng ar ranged for q vessel to carry the dele gates and their polyglot petition to various countries on the Mediterranean litterol, visiting Naples. Rome, Athens, Gonstantinople, the Holy Land and Egypt. At "a later period it is intended to visit the centrals of Europe and Tn- dia, and the countries east and Aus tralia and Africa.

A determined effort will be made to have the same platform adopted by the state convention in June.

SIMPLY FOR EFFECT.
Russia's Blur of Japan Not Meant In
 Earnest, and Win Not be Heeded.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Nyhile nothing official Is given out for publication at the state department and the attaches of the Japanese legation have become as silent as their late opponents, the Chinese have persistently been throughout the war there is not the slightest intimation in any quarter of any hitch in tue final ratification of peace between the two countries Nor IS there any anticipation entertained that Russia will interfere by force of arms to prevent the carrying into eff feet of the treaty provisions.
 In the best-informed diplomatic quarters here it has been asserted from the first that the stories of Russian dissatisfaction were given out simply for effect. Russia, 1t is repeated, is the natural ally of Japan, and has everything to gain by cultivating the friendship of the rising Asiatic power, and everything to lose by nssum- ing a hostile attitude The de- fences of Port Arthnr-pronounee ed by Admiral Schuelfeldt, who planned them, imprcgnable when properly manned, have been thoroughly re- stored and the Japanese are in posses sion of that stronghold. Russia fleet Is not so overwhelmingly superior to that of Japan as to nable Russia to establish an effective blockaoe Ja- pan has over 100000 troops on Chinese soil. These armies have not beea living off the country. They have lcen fed by their own commissariat, and have cultivated the good will of the com mon people.
 Interference by Russia will simply compel Japan to enter upon war of conquest in China. It is known and has been stated that Iii Hung Chang is now on his way from Pekin to Che Foo. where the notifications are to be exchanged. It is not doubted that he has the signed treaty in his possession, and that its terms will be put into force without opposition ex- ccpt from the European newspapers.
 Meanwhile the sth of May is rapidly drawing near, and some definite an nouneement may be looked for any day.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Mr Justice Jackson, of the supreme court of the United States, arrived in Washington yesterday morning from his home, Bellemead, Tenn, to hear the re-argu- ment of the income tax cases.

YOUR UNCLE'S HAND

Was Felt Tn the Successful Nerottatiop,
 Between Ingland and Nicaragua ths
 Suggestion of the Plan for Salvador to
 Guarantee tho Payment of the "Sfnart
 ""hey coming from Acting Secretary
 Uhl.
 WASHINGTON, May 4.-Despite the statement of Sir Edward Grey, under secretary of foreign affairs, in the house of commons Thursday that the United States had not rendered it's good offices in the settlement of the trouble between Great Britain and Nicaragua, it has been positively as certalncd that the matter was brought to settlement through suggestion offered by Ambassador Bayard, under Instructions from Washington. That suggestion was that Salvador should guarantee the payment of the smart money" demanded by Great Britain.
 On Wednesday morning Minister Guzman, of Nicaragua, called on Act. ing Secretary Uhl at the state depart ment, and was asked to suggest to his government, as means for the settle ment of the COrinto incident, that Sal vador should guarantee to the British government the payment of the 9l5, 500 indemnity.
 It is explained that Salvador was se- leeted in this particular because that government is the only one of the Central American republics repre- sented in London by minister, and that Mr. Medina, representing that government in London and Paris, could give the guarantee in the name of his country, whereas great delays and considerable formality might mark an attempt at action in the mat ter by any of the other Central Ameri- can republics
 It is understood that Mr Medina was also empowered to make the best terms possible for Nicaragua with ref erenee to the appointment of con- mission to assess the damages result ing from the arrest and Imprisonment of the other British subjects who were expelled from Blnefelds with Vice Consul Hatch last summer.
 The statement published in Il Lon. don newspaper that the United States has agreed to guarantee a bond for the payment of the indemnity is, of course, nonsensical, so far as the United States government is concerned. The United States government, without action of congress, would have no power to do anything of the kind. Probably the statement was intended to apply to the Nicaraguan Canal Construction Co.

His main affection has been diagnosed as gallstone, and this is complicated by the weak physical condition from which the secretary has suffered for some time past. No visitors are ad. mitted to see the patient, who is con. fined to.his apartments.
