NEWFOUNDLAND's CRISIS.
Aid Refused by Esgiand IN the he
cent Financial Panic
By Gable to the United Press

LONDON. March 49, 1854 parlia-
mentary paper has been issued giving
the correspondence between the author
tiles of Newfoundland and the British
Government in regard to the financial
crisis in Newfoundland. The paper con-
tains request from Sir j. T. N. O'Brien,
Governor of Newfoundland. for aid in
procuring a loan of 81, 100000, together
with warship and the appointment of
a Royal Commission for the Province.
Lord Ripon's reply to these requests
says the Home Government will do moth
ing in the matter until the commission
has made further inquiries. Other re-
quests are made by the Newfoundland
Government as follows
That the Home Government sanction
the issue of Treasury notes; that they
pass a bill guaranteeing a certain value
to all bank notes: that they give assur-
ance that the London Government will
not meddle with the constitution of the
colony, and that they guarantee 100000
yearly for a quarter of a century as in
terest on the colony's bonds. The Home
Government in reply refuses to give the
assurance asked and declines to assume
the guarantee, on the ground that self
governing colonies should not look to
the Imperial Government for aid in fin
ancial affairs.
However, Lord Ripon writes, the Gov
to Newfoundland to relieve actual public
distress, from the Treasury funds, but
they would not extend assistance to COM
mercial houses.

The Dole Ruffians We're
Afraid to Deport Her
or Execute Her
AdherentS.
STILL HANKER FOR 4 PROTECTORAYE
The Rebel Government Seems to
Have No Confidence in Its
Own Stability.

WASHINGTON, March 13, 1S95.-It La
understood here that the light sen-
tence imposed by the Hawaiian authori-
ties on ex-Queen Lilioukalani and the
other Royalists concerned in the recent
uprising against the Government was
largely influenced by a desire to meet
public sentiment in the United States.
The Dole administration is believed to
have felt that had Mrs. Dominis been
deported, and the punishment by death
imposed upon some of her associates, it
would have caused harsh criticism in
this country and aroused an unfriendly
sentiment against the Honolulu Govern
ment.
The fact is pointed out that the Amer
lean people had only languid interest
in the Samoan troubles some years ago
until the German authorities deported
King Malietoa- The receipt of this in
telligence In the United States was fol-
lowed by a wave of popular dissatisfac-
ton with Germany's action. From that
moment great interest was felt in the
settlement of the troubles in the Island,
which resulted finally in a tripartite ar
rangement between Germany, Great
Britain and the United States, looking
to the proper government of Samoa,
which is still in force.
The announcement that some of the
native leaders who have been hereto-
fore staunch Royalists were now openly
favoring annexation to the United States,
it is thought by friends of annexation,
will be an encouragement to the Ameri-
can Congress to bring the islands under
the protection of our government.
The dominant party in Hawaii while
satisfied if this country should assume
a protectorate over the islands. It is
argued however. that a protectorate
would not be so advantageous to the
United States as annexation. A protec-
torate would carry all the responsible
ties of annexation without many of the
material advantages. If the Islands be
annexed. the United States would OF
course become responsible for Hawaii's
debt. s3.5OO.oO0. but this would be offset
several times over. it is claimed. in other
ways. Annexation would give the United
States the possession of the Government
buildings in Honolulu and docks. wharves
and harbor improvements as well as vast
tracts of crown lands.
The Hawaiian Government is looking
to the next session of Congress TO formu-
late some policy regarding annexation.
Private letters received from Honolulu
show that it is believed there that some
definite action will be taken before the
close of the first session of the Fifty
fourth Congress,

AGAINST INCOME TAX.
Mr.. Choate Upholds the Republic
can Scheme to Cripple the
National Treasury.

{ WASHINGTON, March 10, 1895. The
closing day of the argument on the fn-
come tax eases in the Supreme Court
filled the court room and corridors lead-
ing thereto, SO that many more were un-
able to gain entrance to the chamber
than found more or less comfortable ac-
cc1nmodatsons therein. OF counsel, Con-
gressnen and official visitors who were
within the rail included many who had
not previously been present. Senators
Mitchell and Cullom Minister Cana of
Chill, and many ladies.
There was no delay from preliminary
proceedings, and as soon as the court
was declared open, Mr. Choate began his
speech, the closing argument against the
law. He said that when he closed yester-
day he was pointing out the ample means
of indirect taxes open to the Government
to be applied under the rule of appor-
tionnent in equality and uniformity,
without resorting to direct taxes, and
yet, that under that system of taxes, as
a last resort, the entire property of the
people of United States was open to
Congress for the welfare and defence of
the Government. He called attention to
the distribution of the power of taxation
and the limitations of the exercise of
that power, from the operation of which
it could not. by any device, escape.
Mr.. Choate said he did not imDute to
the Constitutional Convention such heed
lessness or ignorance as was suggested
in one of the briefs on the other side.
that it did not believe Sor understand
that covered the whole subject of taxa-
ton, by it's declarations with respect
Of direct taxes, imports, excises and
duties.
Coming to the argument of the propo-
sitions he had advanced, Mr.. Choate
asked How about the corpus of per-
scnal property?" If tax upon it was
neither a direct, tax, nor an import or
excise or duty, what would follow2
just that which Chief Justice Chase
ply-that it was a tax to be enforced
by Congress. and laid neither a,cecordang ,e.
uniformity. And yet in all that one hun
dred years nobody had even suggested
that such a tax could be so enforced
and collected.
