THE TREATY SIGNED.

THE TREATY SIGNED.
This treaty was drawn up, signed
and submitted for ratification to the
Senate OF the United States before
it was possible for an expostulation
or remonstrance to be received from
those whose iualenable, Inherited
rights it was taking forever away.
A state paper approved by his excel
lency, the president, and bearing
the signature OF the secretary ef
state OF the United States OF Am
erica, conjointly with that OF Will
liam r. Castle, is sui generis. 1t
appears in full in the New York
Herald OF Feb. II, 1898, and should
be preserved as a monument Of over
weening ambition and the lust Of
greed. On the 18th day Of Febru-
airy, 1898, the messenger from the
queen of Hawaii, bearing her pro-
test and appeal for justice to the
president of the United States, had
only got as far as Nincoln, Neb, on
his way to Washington. This is
what he there said "The president
is bound by every law Of courtesy
to wait until he hears the other side
OF the case" New York Herald,
Feb. Is, 1899. This is the message
he bore from the queen:
"His Excellency Benjamin Harri-
son, president OF the United States,
my great and good friend; 1t is
with deep regret that | address you
on this occasion. Some OF my sub
jeets, aided by aliens, have re-
nounced their loyalty and revolted
against the constitutional govern
ment of my kingdom. They have
attempted to depose me and to es-
tablish provisional government, in
direct conflict with the organic law
Of this kingdom. Upon receiving
incontestable proof that his excel
lency the minister plenipotentiary
of the United States, aided and
abetted their unlawful movements
and caused United States troops to
be landed for that purpose, | sub
mitted to force, believing that he
would not have acted in that man
ner unless by authority Of the gov
eminent he represents. This action
on my part was prompted by three
reasons-the futility Of a conflict
with the United States, the desire to
avoid violence and bloodshed, and
the destruction of life and property,
and the certainty | feel that you and
your government will right what
ever wrongs may have been inflicted
upon us in the premises. In due
time statement Of truea facts rela-
ting to this matter will be laid be-
fore you, and live in the hope that
you will judge uprightly and justly
between myself and my enemies.
This appeal is not made by myself
personally, but for my people, who
have hitherto always enjoyed the

A LETTER FROM PEARY.
The Explorer Will Write of His Plans in
the Sunday Times.

The Sunday Times tomorrow will con-
tain letter from Lieutenant Robert E..
Peary, telling of the expedi ton on which
he will start next week and what he hopes
to accomplish in the frozen North. The
article is illustrated with a map of the
route to be taken by the explorer and
pictures of northern scenery and members
of the party. 1t is the first of a series
which the Times will publish. These
letters will be written by Lieutenant
Peary as the expedition progresses and
will tell of the doings of the explorer and
his party in the far North. This oppor-
tunity to read the story of the undertake
in in the words of it's leader should not
be missed by Portland people who may
take a just pride in the fact that the
youth of the explorer was passed in this
city and its vicinity.

A Valuable Mare Kills Himself.

Dr. Stanley P. Warren yesterday morn
ing hitched his marc in the usual man.
ner at 6S Danforth street, and went into
a house to make professional call. He
heard the mare thrashing about and when
he went out found her lying on the
ground dead, and with stream of blood
flowing from her mouth. He is not able
to fully explain the manner in which she
came to her death. The indications were
that she had pulled on the halter, fallen
down and broken her neck, but the pres
ence of blood makes it probable that she
had fractured her skull In falling. The
doctor says that the death of the mare
was not due to the extreme heat. This
was the John Loveitt mare, which DIR.
Warren bought about month ago. She
was valuable piece of horsefesh, hav-
ing fast record but being thoroughly
gentle and good driving horse.

GRAND CONCERT AT LONG ISLAND
BY the Boston Military Band Sunda,
Afternoon.

There is no question but the heated
term is upon us, and the best way to keep
cool will be to take Casco Bay steamer
for Long Island, and sit in the cool sea
breeze under the shade of the whispering
pines and listen to the music of the
famous Boston military band. This band
will give only one concert in this state,
and that will probably draw an immense
crowd. Steamer will leave Custom House
wharf at 2 p. m. Concert begins at $50.
The following is the programme
March-Handicap, Kosey

This would come about through the fac'
that every man in the Knights of Pythias
would enlist to fight for Old Glory
| S,nre,,e Master farms Moulton of
St. John, N. B., was the next speaker.
He told how the order of knights OF Py-
thias has grown in Canada where he said
it was looked upon as one of the best of
the fraternal organizations. tie said that
the Canadians did not love the American
flag as we'll as they do the Union Jack,
but for all that they believed IN the
teachings of the Knights OF Pythlas and
| loved the order as much as 1T Is loved by
the American people.
| Major General Carnahan was the next
speaker and was given warm welcome
when he arose to talk. He euloglzeo the
work done for the order by Mr.. Rltch1e
| and others and went on to speak OF the
work that the uniform rank has to do In
building up the order and In making IL
popular with the young men.
| At the close of Gen. Carnahan's speech
the crowd took the boats and returned to
Portland. Many of the knights left Port
land last night by special trains, though
a few of them will remain over In Port
land and go home today.
Last evening the Old Town band wen
up to the Congress square hotel where
the supreme officers of the order are quar-
tered and rendered them serenade.
which was greatly enjoyed by large
| number of people.
The following knights had pretty hard
job yesterday in the hot sun selling

CLAM BAKE AT LONG ISLAND.
How Knights and Ladies Spent the After

CLAM BAKE AT LONG ISLAND.
How Knights and Ladies Spent the After
Long Island was invaded and captured
by the Pythian army yesterday afternoon
and thus ended the celebration of the
silver anniversary of the Grand lodge of
Maine. The Pythians, over 1000 strong,
headed for the wharves of the Casco Bay
Steamboat company after the sweltering
parade of yesterday morning and crowd
ed on board the steamers which were in
| waiting, until there was not room for
another person. In all, three steamboats,
were loaded down to the waters edge
with perspiring knights, after coming off
the long march through the baking
streets as if they had taken the initiatory
steps in Turkish bathing establishment
and had neglected to remain long enough
to enjoy the cold douche. Collars were
wilted, stiff and starched bosoms of shirts
were wringing wet and the faces Of all
resembled the hue of fresh boiled lob
ster more than anything else. The dress
coats of the Uniform rank seemed far
too heavy and uncomfortable for the
state of the temperature, while the only
cool looking men on the boats were those
from Trinity Commandery in their white
coats and hats.
Many of the knights took their ladies
with them to the island and these found
the boats rather uncomfortable owing to
! their crowded condition. But the moment
that the steamers backed out into the har-
Dor and the cool breeze from the Atlantic
was felt, the perspiring crowd found that
it was tri1e too cool for comfort on the
| upper decks, though most of them hung
1t out in these elevated spots and, as one
man said who had come from town
down east where the mercury has been
playing about 100 degrees during the last
week, II should be darn glad of d chance
to freeze to death now SO that might
say had been cool for once in my life"
Long island was never gayer, the sun
which shone down on the fair island was
never hotter, and the crowd was never
better pleased with place than were the
Pythians yesterday. AS soon as the boats
reached the wharf there was scramble
to get ashore and half of the crowd and
more headed in bee line for the woods
and the shady hooks of the island. The
Granite Spring house and other restau-
rants did rushing business for many of
the crowd were far too hungry to wait
until the clam bake was ready to be
served. This clam bake was spread in
the open field at a spot where the sun beat
