ITALIANS STILL WAITING.
Heroes of Waterford Riots Remain I'm
paid.
ESPECIAL To THE PRESS,

Norway, September 22.-Scowling faces
and wrinkled brows are beginning to ap
pear among the striking Italians who
want their pay from the Oxford Central
Electric railway. They are still encamped
on Main street, the guests of the town.
They expected to be paid off today and
gathered around the station whenever Il
train was due, watching eagerly for F. c..
Wilson with the money. He has not
arrived and has not been heard from
since Saturday. 1t is said he is in Bos-
ton.
The Italians say that If paid half of
what is due them they will call it square
and go home.
A sensation was produced among them
this afternoon by paper purporting to
be signed by the treasurer asking an
italian to come to his office at $50 and
get his pay. The treasurer knew nothing
relative to this paper and has no funds.
One of the overseers said today that
Davis & OBrien of Boston did not con-
posed. Davis was at work for F...C. Will
son. Felix Centoseino hired the men and
boarded them, charging twenty eight
cents a pound for cheese. twenty-six for
sausage, fourteen for salt pork, ten for
beans, with other provisions in proper
tion.
The disappointed strikers are bitter to-
ward Mr.. Wilson tonight One of them
said sect him, pound head off," Others
threatened to wreck the company's office.
There will probably not be any dis
turbance as twenty-five special officers
| are watching the streets.

Worth Saws P1att Has Lost.

New York, September q. 2.-Jacob Worth,
after carefully revising last nights re-
turns, said today:
Gin the face of the hostile influence
of Republicans, high in office, who claim
to represent the wishes of the federal
administration, despite the hostility of
the custom house people, the promise of
patronage fer antiLow votes, in the face
of opposition from Senator Platt, repre-
sentatives of the Republican state orga-
nization and heads of city departments,
the friends of Seth Low won great
victory at the primaries last night. For
Low made my fight. Last nights vote
shows conolusiyely, to my mind, that
the great bulk of Republican voters in
Brooklyn desire the nomination of Seth
Low for mayor. Mr.. Platt has made his
fight against Low and has lost, SO far as
Brooklyn Republicanism is concerned. -

Senate Ratifies American Annexation
Treaty.
HOW MEASURE WAS PRESENTED
AND APPROVED.

Senate Met in Extra Session and Treaty
Was Transmitted by Presiden.-Adopt-
ed by Unanimous vote-Protest of
Hawaiians Laid on the Table.
San Francisco, September 22.-Al-
though the steamship City Of Pekirg
which arrived last night from Honolulu
brought the news that the annexation
treaty had been ratified by the Hawaiian
senate on the 6th inst, no details were
obtalnable until this morning, the mails
having been delayed in quarantine for
II hours. From advices she brought un-
der date of the 18th inst, the following
particulars are obtained:
The Hawaiian senate met in extra ses-
sion on the 6th inst. When the Senate
was called to order the Presidents mes
sage urging the ratification of the treaty
was read as was also protest on behalf
OF the Hawaiians who opposed the meas
ure.
The President s message stated that
under the authority conferred upon him
by the constitution with the approval of
the cabinet, he had negotiated treaty
of political union with the United States
of America and the Republic of Hawaii,
which was signed by the plenipotenti-
aries Of both governments in Washington,
June 10, 1897. He transmitted the same
to the Senate for consideration of the
ratification thereof under its constitu-
tionality and called attention to certain
significant events which bore upon the
matter. In conclusion he called particu-
lar attention to the fact that the treaty
contained an important provision regard
ing the maintenance Of the existing
Hawaiian laws and customs not incon-
sistent with the treaty under considera-
tion and the fact that the deliberations
were assured as to the ultimate form
Of government for the territory of
evitably follows sudden political changes
was precluded. Both papers were re-
ferred with the text of the treaty to the
foreign relations committee for consid-
Grafton. On the following day that COM
| mittee reported favorably and upon its
| recommendation the Senate adopted the
resolution by unanimous vote:
Be it resolved the Senate Of the Re-
public of Hawaii: That the Senate here
by ratiffies and advises and consents to
the ratification by the President of the
| treaty between the Republic of Hawaii
and the United States of America on the
| subject Of annexation of the Hawaiian
| Islands to the United States.
| In answer to the Hawaiian protest, the
committee said in. part:
"The legislature of the republic has
| at its last two session passed joint reso-
| lutions sfavoring annexation and the an
nexation of the islands to the United
| States was one of the fundamental
grounds for the establishment of this
government. We recommend that the
protest be laid upon the table, and in
doing SO deem it our duty to say chat in
| ing more on the grounds of sentiment
than that they fully believe annexation
would not promote the best and most
lasting prosperity to the islands and all
classes of people residing thereon
Ths report was unanimously adopted
| by the Senate.

NEW CUBAN TARIFF LAW.
Copies OF Measure Recently Gazetted a
Madrid Received in Washington.

Washington, September s2.-Copies OF
the new Cuban tariff law, as recently
gazetted at Madrid. have been received
here. They show in detail the manner in
which the trade between the United
States and Cuba will be affected and the
basis on which reciprocity can be secured.
The preamble recites:
The government shall be able to decree
a special re-charge of thirty per cent of
all tho duties on the products of whatever
nation that in the application of it's gen.
eral tariff shall prejudice Spanish products
by treating them differently.
Under this clause the government re-
tains large discretion to apply an addi-
tional duty of thirty per cent if American
duties are construed to prejudice Spain S
products. The preamble also suppresses
entirely "the favored nation clause and
provides that s'as regards commercial
treaties it is decreed that all treaties or
commercial conventions which affect the
customs of the island must be special -
The abolition of the favored nation''
| clause is said to be q marked departure
from the old system. under which the
United States or any other country could
claim all the advantage given by treaty
to any other country. Under the new
plan each country can enjoy only such
tariff advantages as are given it by
special treaty.
The tariff rates are arranged in two
columns, one giving the fiscal rate and
| the other the differential, and it is pro-
vided that foreign merchandise as we'll
as home merchandise, which does not
prove its right to the benefits of the pro-
tective tariff. will pay on its introduction
into Cuba the amount of the duties,
differential and fiscal, shown in each
column of this tariff, the home merchan-
disc which justifies its right will pay the
duties fixed in the fiscal column.

LUeToERT HAD A DEVIL
In the Shape of Clever Englishmau VIII o
Buncoed Him Out of $25,OOO.

Chicago, September 22.-Judge Vincent
sprung surprise on the prosecution in
the Luetgert murder trial in his opening
statement today, by reference to a man
named Davey, whom, he said, was the
original medium through which all of
Luetgert's trouble arose and whose
actions resulted in Luetgert being ar
raigned before the bar of justice today.
charged with murder.
~ little over year ago, Satan, in tn Q
shape of a medium-sized, well dressed
and educated Englishman named Robert
Davey, came to Luetgert and was the
cause Of all his trouble said ex-Judge
Vincent.
"This man came with forged letters of
introduction, representing himself as a
man of great means. Luetgert has al
yon will see, when he goes on the witness
tand.'
This was the first official notice that
Luetgert would testify in his own behalf,
and the announcement was received with
a show of interest by the prosecution and
the spectators.
"Davey told Luetgert- he could be the
sausage king of the world" went on ex-
Judge Vincent, "and Luetgert believed
him, for Davey was an artist in painting
glowing pictures of wealth and fame. He
told Luetgert he represented an English
syndicate, and that company would be
organized with capital of $500,O00 and
bonds for an additional 100000 would
| be Issued"
Mr.. Vincent then told of Luetgert's be-
| ing swindled out of s25, 200 by Davey,
and said this drove Mrs. Luetgert insane
and that she wandered away from home
| That Mrs. Luetgert is alive, he said, he
would prove & oy witnesses M % wnS nave ,s seen
| that the bones found in the vat were not
human, but were put there by the police
authorities. AS for the rings, claimed to
| be Mrs. .Luetgert's, the lawyer said he
would show that they were not hers, and
| that she had never seen them.
The lawyers speech made an impression
on those in the court room. There was a
more cheerful smile on Luetgert's s face as
he Iimped back to Jail. s4aQgs
