THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Annexation Question May Go Over Until
the Regular Session.


the Regular Session.
Washington. June 1.-THE suggest
ID course Of procedure when the Ha-
waiian annexation treaty is sent to the
senate is that it should be made public
in order that the proposition to restore
the house provision in the tariff bill
may be accomplished, with the under
standing that the treaty of annexation
possibly will be in effect before years
notice of abrOgatiOn could be given.
One reason given for making the treaty
public would be that it could be dis
cussed in connection with the Hawaiian
provision in the bill.
1t is not believed there will be any
attempt to secure immediate action on
the treaty, and possibly it might not be
considered at this special session. Some
question has arisen as to whether the
senate is competent to act upon a
treaty which acquired territory, and
whether the house would not be called
upon to concur, but the presidents are
that the treaty-making power-the
president and senate-can act, and the
only manner in which the house would
be considered would be in voting on an
appropriation necessary to carry the
treaty into effect.
The manner in which the treaty will
come before the house is in the para
graph providing that the United States
shall assume the present debt of Hawaii.
This will not in any way effect the
treaty or interfere in its adoption.
Before the matter will be submitted
to the house will come the ratification
Of the treaty by the senate. If the
treaty is ratified no action by the house
can change the condition. The failure
of the house to appropriate money to
pay the debt or interest on it may be-
come a future complication, but the
ratification of the treaty by the senate
will annex the islands.

IA RS. ELLA KING, wife Of Rev.

night last, aged ~ years. She was Of
a family Of eleven-seven brothers and
four sisters-all save one OF whom
survive her, J. W. Swank, for the last
fifteen years an employee at the treas
ury department at Washington being
her eldest brother. Mrs. King had
been an invalid for years, but about
the first Of January last she was taken
down with complication Of troubles,
and for more than a month past there
has been little hope OF recovery.
The deceased lived a pure and
beautiful life, and died as she had
lived. Death 10 the living, is horrible
always, but there is something pa
thetic and wonderful in the courage
and faith with which a frail little
woman can face impending and con-
scious dissolution. Through days aud
weeks aud months the silent sufferer
lay with calm courage and clear sight
looking into an open grave. Ali who
can tell Of the anguish OF broken plans
and bafiied hopes OF missionary work

life and work was knit with hers?
She bore her sufferings meekly, she
trod the wine press alone, and with
unfalling faith and tenderness took
leave OF life.

Ia NEGRO named Paul johnson

who were what was known as state
police, fred on Frederick A. Cooley
and his partner a man named House,
lawyers, and killed them both, the
former with his hands up, begging for

be revenge for the action Of the law
yers in conducting civil case. The
six negroes were indicted and some OF
them IL not all were arrested. While
awaiting trial all save one made their
escape from Jail; that ono was con-
victed but died before execution.

vey the men to Texas. Paul was
found at his home and brought here,

time, though his arrest Is expected.
The man In custody has married since
coming TO this country young woman
named Maria Bell, who was one OF the
Martin family negroes. johnson lives
two and half miles west OF Lenapah
and has been in this country seven
years. From Texas he went to Kan
sas where his first wife followed him
