follows: A letter suggesting that the
government at once send special an
nexation envoy to Washington was
presented to President Dole and the
executive council on Dec. 81. by the
American league. The petition is q
strong one and makes several telling
points. It sets forth that since the
question Of the islands was in congress
before many fresh facts have come to
light and many members Of the senate
and house have changed their minds
upon the subject. In every instance
the alteration of view has been been
from hostility to friendliness for Ha-
waii. Even the administration now
has ample and justifiable grounds for
treating the matter differently and is
now in possession of reliable data.

Sioux FALLS, S. D., Jan. l4.--In an
interview with ex-Mayor Peck Of this
city and president of the Minneha aha
National bank here, he said he was not
surprised upon hearing Of the defalca-
tion of State Treasurer Taylor. He
said that Taylor's shortage dates back
four years to when he was endeavor-
ing to get the nomination for state
treasurer. J. M. Bailey, Jr., Mr.. Peck's
predecessor in the bank, was also after
the nomination. Mr.. Peck says that
to his knowledge Mr.. Bailey spent $l4,'
600 before the state convention was
held, and he has every reason to be.
lieve that Mr.. Taylor spent even more
than that amount. Taylor had at that
time not enough money of his own to
stand such an outlay. Since then he
has contributed heavily to state cam
paigns, as every state treasurer is ex-
pected to do Mr.. Peck says there is
only one outcome to such methods and
that is detalcation. He censures Pub
lie Examiner Myers for standing idly
by and letting Taylor delay an exam
ination of his accounts and in the
meantime steal all Of the state 3 money.
