HAWAII TO BE ANNEXED.
TREATY TO DE SENT TO III SENATE
AFTER THE TARIFF q TIT.

This Es tho Opinion or Those in q Position %
Know the F~acts-Minister Hatch Intimate
That n Treaty Similar to That or the Har-
rison Administration Will Soon ne Ready.
WASHINGTON, juno 13.-It Is tho opinion OF
those qualified to speak, that after the Tar
IN bill is disposed Of by the Senate, President
Mckinley will send to the Senate o treaty for
the annexation Of Hawaii. For the past three
months the Hawaiian contingent in Washing
ton has been quietly working to secure q treaty
OF annexation, and their labor has not been in
vain.
The remarks OF Senator Frye of Maine, in tho
Republican caucus yesterday, in regard to the
Hawaii question arc looked upon by Minister
Hatch to mean that the President is in favor
OF Hawaiian annexation, and the Minister and
his associates have since been in a happy frame
of mind.
Minister Hatch intimate that n treaty similar
TO that sent In during the closing days of the
Harrison Administration will DO laid before tho
Senate at no distant date. Since March 4 Min
lister Hatch has been inundated with letters and
messages urging him to press Hawaii claim for
annexation, but he has rcfrained from taking an
advanced step until tho Tariff bill was woll
under way. Now that tho chances for the pas
sage OF the Tariff bill are bright, Mr.. Hatch has
started in to press Hawaii's claim.
Assisting Mr.. Hatch are Lorrin A. Thurston
and Commissioners Armstrong and Kenney of
Honolulu. They have been in Washington sew
eral weeks and have talked with a majority ofthe
Senators, sounding them on the question Of rati-
iyln8 q treaty or annexation, should one be sent
In by the President. The result OF this labor is
that a majority OF the Senate is supposed to be
favorahle to the annexation OF the islands.
MIR. Hatch and his associates discovered. they
say, shortly after their work began, that a great
and powerful influence in the way of Hawaiian
annexation is Liliuokalani. former Queen OF tho
islands. She has been in Washington since early
In January with the supposed purpose OF thwart.
is yet TO be seen. Minister Hatch is confident,
however. that a treaty OF annexation once sent
to the Senate will certainly be ratified.
A United States Senator tonight made the
somewhat vague though significant remark
that something would be heard to drop" in the
Hawaiian matter within the next ten days. but
declined to state specifically what the surprise

An Atlanta Thcelmnn Seriously Injured by y
Guard ut Fort McHPherson.

ATLANTA, Ga, June 13.-Onco moro the Rarri-
son at Fort Mcpherson has got a fight on It's
hands. This time 1t is with the bicycle riders Of
Atlanta and neighborhood, who for many years
havo pedallod In unrestricted liberty through
it's beautiful driveways and eaten lunches on its
parade grounds. Recently the official residents
at the fort began to protest against the army Of
blcyclists which daily invaded their premises,
and took various ways OF letting the wheelmen
know that they were not wanted. This, how
ever, did not discourage the wheelmen, although
It created q good deal Of bitter feeling on both
sides.
Late last night. while scores Of bicyclists wero
whirling about tho inclosuro. ono Of their num-
Der, Cicero Hopkins, son of q wealthy Atlanta
widow, while passing in front of o guardhouse,
was confronted by a sentry. The latter lowered
his bayonet and ordered Hopkins to ride slower.
Hopkins replied that he was riding about az
slow as he could, and. before ho could say any:
thing more, tho sharp point Of the bayonet had
with blood pouring from his wound. He was
carried TO the. garrison hospital and attended
by DIR. Blair Taylor, the post physician, and
he was mortsily hurt, but he rallied sSaicientiy

Tending his position and asserting that the affair
was due to young Hopklns's disobedienco Of tho
guards orders. Hopkins denies that, and says
that tho bayoneting was deliberate. Col. Cook
has also issued orders that no moro bicycle riders
shall be permitted to enter the post grounds at
any time and to-day stationed armed guards at
the entrances to warn wheelmen. These guards
were kept pretty busy. The. hicyclists Of the city
intend to take tho case to Washington.

TOUGH TOWNS CONVERTED.

Religion Changes the Aspect OF q had Part or
Oklnhoma.
PERRY, Oklahoma, June 13.-An unprece-
dented revival of religion has prevailed at
Ingalls,, Cushing and Lawson Of late. A re-
ligious movement began in that section six
months ago, and has continued till It has grown
to wonderful proportions. Six months ago the
town Of ingalls,. which at one time was consid-
cred one Of the toughest towns in the two Ter
~ritories. had six saloons. To-day It has none,
and nobody could get o license to 20 into tho
saloon business. Some OF the former liquor SELL
ers are now superintendents in Sunday schools;
others are Sunday school teachers, while nearly
all arc members of the Church.
An area of forty miles square, including In
gals, Cushing, and Lawson. for years was the
home Of the most noted outlaw bands that ever
operated in the West. It was the rendezvous
for the Daltons, Doolins, Cook. and other noted
bands, whose members are either dead, having
been killed in fights. or are serving terms in tho
penitentiary. Twenty-odd men have been killed
in Ingalls, within the past six years. Tho town
graveyard contains the bodies OF ten men who
died with their boots on. Near Lawson fourteen
people were killed in a short time.
But all this Is past. Where whiskey drink
ing. numbering. gambling, and all sorts of out
lawry existed, churches and churchRoing people
are now in control. One OF the most noted OF
these outlaw3 was Bill Doolin. who died with
his boots on near Lawson last year. A week ago
one of his brothers-in-law was elected superin-
tendent of a union Sunday school at lawson.
This man for years was q harborer and q pro-
tector Of Doolin and his notorious gang.
During all this reign OF outlawry church mon
were scarce and nearly the whole population in
the country were apparently in sympathy with
the outlaws. The change Is 90 marked and SO
sudden that 1t has created comment everywhere.
Tho change was brought about by the efforts of
former United States Marshal z. d. Nix. as
sisted by Sheriff Frank Lake Of Pawnee county,
and Deputy Marshals Frank NJ. Canton, William
Tightman. and Hank Thomas. These men
routed the outlaws and then 3 half dozen min.
tinued for months in the diferent localities.

HORSE PRIsONED IN 4 GULCH.
Got Out Under the Supervision OF Mrs. Elliott
y. shepard, who Owns Him.

TARRYTowN, N. V, June 13.-An accident be-
fell one Of Mrs. Elliott f. Shepard's most valu.
able horses yesterday afternoon. Her coachman
was driving an empty coach to the Scarborough
depot. Between the entrance to the Shepard
place and the Shepard Memorial Church there
10 n waterfall near the road. Tho water from
this fall runs through an archway under tho
road and thence down by the Croton Aqueduot.
The recent rain had swollen the brook and In
creased the noise OF the fall. Ono of the horses
became frightened while passing and SHE'D. He
fell over the road ombankment. Here he rested
on the steep embankment, held only by the har-
ness. The coaohman sprang out Of the carriage
and cut tho harness. Then the horse fell into
the brook below.
The force Of the stream was so great that It
carried the. animal under a fence and down into
a gulch fifteen feet deep beside the Aqueduct.
Hero he was Imprisoned, as tho embankment
was too steep for him to climb.
Mrs. Shepard was notified and she ordered a
gang Of carpenters to the scene at once. For
several hours they worked steadily under her
personal supervision. At last an inclined plane
was built and the horse was got out. Ho is cut
badly about the legs and body.
