DEMOCRATIC SENATORS BREAK.
Another Sensation In the Delaware
Legislature.

DOVER, Del, March 21.-There was an
other sensation at the state house today,
when the two branches Of the legislature
met in joint session to ballot for United
States Serator to succeed Anthony Hig-

Dover.
When the last ballot was taken yester-
day six of Higgins supporters, who had
temporarily deserted his cause for Z. G.
Bradford, returned to their first choice
and the ex-senator received seven votes
at the close. Today there were two bal
lots, and Mr.. Higgins was only given one
vote, new man, Benjamin Nields of
Wilmington receiving seven of the repub-
lican votes.
AdoickS' lines remain unbroken his orig
inal six supporters sticking to him. The
hall was crowded and the injection of
new names into the fight provided much
food for gossip and speculation. Each bal
lot resulted as follows:
Higgins Tep), /; Addicks (rep), 6; Mas

LATE HAWAIIAN ADVICES.2
I'm Annexation Club Formed by


Late advices received here. from Hawaii
state that Charles B. Wilson, confidential
adviser of the eX-Gueen; John Colbern, one
of her cabinet at the time she was de-
posed; Artoni Rosa,l ,l'eX-attorney general
under the king, and John Richardson. for
merly on the queens staff-a1i Of them
prominent royalists-have taken part In
forming an annexation club among the m
tive Hawalians. This is regarded as dec
laration among the chief royalists that the
monarchy is dead for all time. At a recent
meeting in Honolulu these prominent roy
alsts took part in forming a constitution
and articles of belief. These state:
First. We believe that the republican
fern of government has come to stay in
these islands.
Second We believe that every person
should assist the government in the carry
ing out of its policy of political annexation
of these islands to the United States"
The third article declares that the pres
ent Dole government secures liberty, Sc
curity, free speech and free press. restric-
tion of A9'iatic immigration and cable COM
municatiCn. The constitution restricts
members of the new organization to ma
tives or these having Hawaiian blood, or
foreigners who have married in Hawaii.
There were no fresh developments today
concerning the demand for Minister Thurs
tons recall. All parties maintain silence.
The next step, it is presumed, will be ac-
tion by Hawaii or the request of Secretary
Gresham.

INCOME TAX RETURNS.
A Falling OF I'm This District Within
UnSf ESNxx-

Income tax returns to Collector Vandiver
of this district have shown a great falling
off within the last few days. This is prob
ably due to the doubt that has been raised
as to the constitutionaity of the law. The
majority of persons affected by the law will
probably wait until this question Is deter
mined by the Supreme Court. Less than
half of the residents in this collection dis
trict to whom blanks were sent have filled
them out and returned them to the col
lector. In case the law is sustained all re-
turns for 1894 must be in by the 18th proxi-
mo. Many Of the returns already received
are incorrectly made out. Collector Van
diver says that this is a good reason why
returns should be made as early as pos
sible, as otherwise it may be too late to
make proper corrections. According to him
imperfectly 1illed blanks received within a
few days prior to April Is cannot be cor
Iectcd. All such returns must necessarily
be sent to the commissioner of internal
revenue at Washington in the condition in
which they are when received. In come
cases it will be found that penalties have
been incurred v hich might easily have been
avoided if the returns had been sent earlier
to the collector.

Connecticut, for the district Of Stoning.on

William E. Powers, postmaster at Hast

The Two Judgeshfps.
The two Indian territory judgeships are
newly created offices, established by an act
of the last Congress framed for the purpose
OF checking in a measure the great spread
and growth of lawlessness and crime in the
Indian territory, which had become ref
uge of robbers and outlaws. The new
judges are the well-known eX-Congress-
men, Mr.. Springer and Judge kilgore.
Mr.. Springer has served in the House OF
Representatives for many years and has
taken u prominent part in the debates as
one of the democratic leaders. He was
chairman of the banking and currency COM
mittee of the last Congress, and of the
ways and means committee in the pre-
ceding Congress He has always kept up
his legal reading and has been counsel be-
fore the United States Supreme Court In
many cases during his congressional career
Soon after his defeat for Congress in the
landslide of the last election he was ten
dered the Supreme Court practice of one
of the principal Granger roads and had its
acceptance under adyisement for some
time. He owns a house in Washington and
is fairly well to do.
Judge Kilgore had served in the last four
Congresses and had attracted a great deal
of attention by reason of his vigorous per-
sonality and frequent objections to various
bills. He is Georgian by birth and sixty
years of age. He served in the late war,
and his courage, it is believed, will make
him useful in dealing with the lawless ele-
ment who must be tried in the Indian
territory courts. o.,

Another Japanese Loan.

According to recent unofficial advices re-
ceived here, the Japanese government is
considering loan of 100000 yen to Corea,
which step is said to be temporarily neces-
STATED by the present financial difficulties
of that country. The matter was the sub
ject of a speech in the house of representa-
tives on the 21st of February by Count Ito
minister president of state. The minister
said the Tonghak rebellion, which COM
menced early last summer, was followed by
a failure of the harvest, and then came the
war between Japan and China. "Corea,
said he has ever since stood as our ally,
and being today still in the midst of the
war, government cannot remain un
concerned, and is, therefore, brought under
the necessity of making loan to Corea."
The latter government, the minister an
nounced, is planning a loan to meet the ma
tional expenditures, and as soon as the plan
was matured the Japanese government in
tended to require the repayment of it's own
loan.
Admiral Ting's Reported Suicide.
Although uncertainty may exist in some
quarters regarding the death of Admiral
Ting of the Chinese navy, no doubt seems
to have been felt of it by Admiral Ito of the
Japanese navy at the time of the capitula-
ton of Wei-Hai-Wei. Admiral Ting was in
command of the fleet at the latter place at
the time of it's surrender to the Japanese
and a translation of the notes passing be-
tween the commanders of the two fleets has
been received here. BY these it appears
that on February Il Admiral Ting, in reply
to letter from Ito, said his first deter
mination was to fight until all the ships
and men were gone. but that he now de-
sired to save the lives of the men and asked
for truce He entreated the Japanese to
spare the lives of the native and foreign
officials of the Chinese navy and army
soldiers and civilians, and to allow them to
return to their respective homes.
On the same day Admiral Ito assented to
this proposition and said that on the next
day he would receive the warships, forts
and all the arms. The Chinese admiral then
asked for some delay, and suggested the
10Th instant as the date of capitulation
adding: Il mean to act true to my words" -.
The next day (February 13) Admiral Ito, in
a letter to IAN officer representing the Chi
nese fleet in Wei-HaiWei,' acknowledged
Admiral Ting'S letter of the day before and
said he was exceedingly sorry to learn
from the bearer of the admiraFs letter that
the admiral had committed suicide"
