To Send the New Hawaiian Treaty
to the Senate.
PRESIDENTS PRESENT INTENTION
Understanding Reached at the
Cabinet Meeting.
COURSE OF PROCEDURE

1t Is understood to be the Presidents in
tention to send the Hawaiian annexation
treaty with message to Congress tomor-
row. The understanding, of the Senate is
that this decision was definitely reached
at the cabinet meeting today. where the
SUBJECT was fully discussed. The sugges-
tion has been made that the President
,sight delay TIE message until both houses
are in session Thursday, but this does not
correspond to the information directly re-
ceived. which is that 1t will SURELY come
in tomorrow.
Ihe suggested course of procedure when
the 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 accom-
pilsheu with the understanding that the
treaty of annexation will possibly be in
effect before a years notice of abrogation
could be given. One reason given for max
ing the treaty public would be that 1t could
be discussed In connection with the Ha-
waiian provision in the bill
II - hot oeieseu that there will be any
attempt to secure immediate action On the
treaty, and possibly it nigh not be consid-
cred at this special session.
Power of Senate to Act Alone.
Some question has arisen as TO whether
the Senate alone was competent to act up
on treaty which acquired territory, end
If the House would not be called upon to
concur, but the precedents are that the
treaty-making powers-the President and
Senate-can act, and the only manner in
which the House would be considered
would be in case an appropriation was
necessary to carry the treaty into effect
No Pension for the Former Queen,
The one point of Importance in which the
annexation treaty differs from the conyen-
ton negotiated by Secretary Foster in
President Harrison's administration is in
the omission of any provision for ex-Queen
Liiiuokalani and the Princess Kaiula nj.
In the original treaty it was provided thai
the government Of the United States should
pay the ex-queen the sum of $4,000 cash
and the same amount of money each year
provided she, in good faith, submitted to the
government of the United States and the
local government of the islands. The
Princess Kaiulani, being the next In line
OF royal blood, was to receive a cash pay
ment Of $15O.0OO. under similar proviso. as
In the case of the ex-queen.
Immigration of Cookies,
1t Is understood that any objection that
might have been expected to the annexa-
ton OF the Islands based on the large pro-
portion of coolies In the population. has
teen forestalled by an article not only pro-
hibiting the further immigration of such
laoorers to the Hawaiian Islands, but also
prohibiting the coming of any of the Chi
nese from the Islands to other parts Of the
United States.

spectfully requested"
Department Sends Instructions.
After consultation with Secretary Gage
the acting secretary sent telegraphic in
structions for the use Of the large office
annex as q temporary immigration station
in accordance with the recommendations
of Commissioner Senner. Acting Secretary
Spaulding said to a Star reporter that the
department will not be able to erect new
buildings on Ellis Island unless, Congress
makes appropriations for the sama, and
that in their absence the Immigration serv-
ice will be administered with tlimculty.
Great LOSS to the Service.
The destruction Of the immigration sta
ton on Ellis Island was a serious loss I'd
the service. Important and -sxesaxtke i'm,
provements had just been finished and the
officials regarded it. as the finest plant
used. for q si1filar purpose In existence.
/Commfssioner General Stump left for New
York at neon today to direct the transfer
of what is left of the station to the barge
office, where temporary quarters will be
secured. Assistant Secretary Howell Will
go to New York this evening to consult
customs officials as to new quarters for
the present occupants of the barge office.
and 1t. is expected that there will be no
great difficulty in affecting change that
will be reasonably satisfactory to all until
more permanent arrangements can be
made.
Ellis Island Is regarded by the officials
as the best and most available site for
an immigrant station In the vicinity OF
New York. and Assistant Secretary spauid-
ing expressed the opinion today that Con-
gress would be requested to make an ap-
preparation of at least 5000, GOO to rebuild
the plant. Several Of the old buildings
were wood, and 1t IL intended to replace
them by practically fire-proof structures
Of brick or stone The immigration bureau
now has to Its credit about $225 600, which
has accumulated from the head tax on Inn
migrants. but 1t Is doabtfuta whether the
department would conssnt tosthis fund be-
ing used for the purposs Of rebuilding.
and Commissioner Stumlp retnrn to Wash
ington a sc heme for -Teouilding the station
will be prepared and presented to Con-
greSS for it's action.

"FOR THE GOOD OF THE SERVICE
No Going Behind This Reason for Dis
missing a Clerk.

No Going Behind This Reason for Dis
missing n Clerk.
Since the present administration was
ushered into office a number of removals
have been made from the classified service
In many instances those who have been
removed have declared that they would ap-
peal to the civil service commission for re-
instatement under the rules made by the
President under the authority yes led In
him by the civil service law. Section 3 Of
rule provides:
mo person In the executive civil service
shall dismiss, or cause to be dismissed, or
make any attempt to procure the dismissal
of, or in any manner change the official
rank or compensation Of any other person
therein, because Of his political or religious
opinions. or affiliations.''
When persons removed from the classified
service have appealed to the civil service
commission for reinstatement on the
ground that their dismissal was because of
their political opinions they have been told
to give their reasons for that idea, and
they have in all cases been forced to reply
that they believed their removal to have
been for political reasons, because it could
be explained In no other way. Early In the
administration, departments from which
clerks in the classified service had been re-
moved have been called upon by the civil
service commission to give reasons for the
removal of certain employees. In every in
stance the reply has been that the change
was made for the good of the SERVICE"
and that has invariably ended the '.inves-
tigation." The civil service law and the
rules promulgated under its authority are
for the guidance of officials, but the civil
service commission has no authority to
carry on any investigation to determine
whether 1t Is enforced or not SO far as re-
novals are concerned. 1t can only ask
the official under whom the removal was
made for its cause, and must take his ster-
otyped reply-"for the good of the service"
A secretary might think it for the good
of the service to have a republican in the
place of democrat, a blue-eyed man in
place of one with black eyes, or a fat
man rather than a thin one-no one can
ask an explanation Of the term used.
1t has become SO well understood that
the back door of the government service is
wide open, which was the original intention
OF civil service reformers, that those who
are now removed no longer regard a pro-
test as worth while the making. But the
fight for the good places so made vacant is
narrowed down to men already in the clas-
sff1ed service and eligible to the promotion
If they are not favored 1t must be a man
certified by the civil service commission who
Is known to no one. This condition has
given rise to a political activity in the clas-
sified service never before known. Not
long ago the good places with big salaries
when vacated were prey for political work.
ers outside the service. Now they are the
coveted prizes of men with political pull
within the classified service.

lis DISCHARGE ADVISED
Result Of the Court Martial of Professo,
Fanciulli.
Surprise to Everybody-view Taken
BY the Omcers-Protecting Their
Dignity.

The testimony taken by the summary
court-martial convened last week for the
purpose of hearing charges of insubordina-
tion against Prof. Francesca Fanciulli, the
leader of the United States Marine Band,
was finally Transcribed by Recorder Theo-
dore Lowe yesterday evening, and. to-
gether with the findings of the court-mar-
tial, was submitted to Capt. Frank H.
Harrington, commandant OF the marine
barracks. upon whose authority the court
was convened. The sentence Of the court
martial imposed upon Prof. Fanciulli is
discharge from the service. The court.
which was composed OF Capt. NJ. c. Good
rell. Capt. Denny and Lieut. Kar.nany, was
unanimous in its decision to recommend
the discharge of the Marine Band leader.
The findings have not been officially pro-
mulgated as yet, but the above statement
is authoritative. 1t is understood at the
barracks that. while the specific action Of
Prof. Fanciulli on May 81. when he declin-
ed to concede to Lieut.. Draper the authority
claimed by the latter of selecting the char
acter Of music to be played during the pa
rade, might not have been regarded as
sufficient for the imposition of such a Sc
we're sentence, the vital question at is
sue was the broad one affe cling the mat
ter of discipline in the service of the
United States. whether In the army or in
the navy.
The sentence of discharge from the serv-
ice was therefore decided upon in order
that 1t might prove as a lesson to suborji-
mates in their future relations with superior
officers. There will be general and wide
spread regre, and indignation at the de-
ctsion of the court, because Prof. Fanctulli
has been widely admired for his ability as
a musician, bis character as a gentleman
and his excellence as the leader of the ma
tional band. This feeling will not be con-
fined to the members Of the band, but
will be shared by the general public, with
whom Leader Fanciulii has become de-
servedly popular. 1t is generally hoped
that the decision Of the court will be dis
approved.
The findings Of the court were approved
by Capt. Frank II. Harrington. comman-
dant of the marine barracks, and also by
Col. Haywood, commandant of the Ma
rine Corps. and have been sent to the Sec
retary of the Navy.
