NEW HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Tho Government Planning to Annex tn
Islands,


Chicago, Ills, June 13.-The Times
Herald publishes the following WASH
ington specinl: .......
A draft OF n trenty for the annexa-
tion of Hawaii to the United States Is
being prepared by Judge Day, the as
sistant secretary Of stute, and MIR.
Hatch, the Hawaiian minister in
Washington. II|
1t will be presented to President Nc
Kinley for approval soon after he re-
turns to the city.
1t does not follow, however, that It
will Immediately be sent to the Sem
ate. On the contrary, the President
will adhere to his determination not to
complicnte the tariff situation by the
introduction Of any foreign questions.
The fact that treaty was actually
drafted has not been known outside Of
the State Department and the Hawai-
ian legation until to-day. The Presi-
dent has not yet committed himself on
the Hawaiian question, but he has CIV
en- the impression that he Is In favor Of
annexation. Should he decide to send
the treaty to the Senate during the
present session Of Congress, it will be
ready. Should lie determine to delay,
the whole matter will be laid aside un-
til Congress reassembles in December.
The acute situation In the diplomatic
relations between Hawaii and Japan
is what has brought the annexation
question to the front Mt this time.
The draft of the treaty Is being pre-
pared on the lines of the treaty ne
gotiated by Secretary Foster In the
closing days of the Harrison admins
tration.
A leading member of the Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations said to-
night that two plans are under consid-
Grafton OF the administration. One Is
to annex the Islands and admit them
into the Union rs the territory Of Ha-
wall. The other IL to make them n
county Of California. No decision has
yet been reached.

BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION.
Two Reports Made by tho Kansas Invcsti-
eating Committee.


Topeka. Kan, June 12.-The legIsla-
tive Doodle and bribery investigating
committee wound up Its business to-
day and adjourned. Majority and
minority reports were submitted to
Governor Leedy. The majority report
Is signed by Householder, Cook and
Outcalt, Populist members. and the
minority by Grimes, Republican. The
majority report charges wholesale cor
,ruptlon on the part of n well-organized
corporation lobby and certain men,
bers OF the Legislature during the re-
cent session; declares that the will Of
the people had been thwarted by the
vote-selling process: recommends the
passage of an ant!-lobby law. and re.
quests the governor to call II special
session OF the Legislature so that some
acts may be passed regulating corpor-
atlons.
Representative Grimc3. In his min
ority report. intimates that there was
not so much boodling done during the
Legislature as there was perjury on
the witness stand before the commit
tee. He says that members Of one fac.
tion Of the Populist party perjured
themselves In order to smirch the
members OF another faction. The
names of legislators implicated are
omitted by both reports.

Many ofIlce-holders can repeat glib
ly the arhorism that "a public office
Ia public trust" bu. New Jersey
county collector has proved the SIN
cerity Of his convictions in very un-
usual way. Four years ago the New
Jersey legislature passed law au-
thorizing collectors to retain two per
cent of their collections as compensa-
tion. Under this law the official In
question is entitled to nearly forty
thousand dollars year. But he has
always refused to take more than his
yearly salary OF forty-five hundred
dollars, on the ground that the law
permitted robbery from the people
from which he was not willing to de-
rive any personal benefit. He will not
die a rich man, but he has what Is
more to be desired than wealth. the re-
spect and confidence of Ills neighbors
His example of official unselflshness
and integrity Is worth more in Its up
lifting moral effect upon the commu-
nifty, than II as mere money-getting
citizen he had given q lifetime to the
successful accumulation Of moderate
Or even immoderate wealth.

money lender of this city. by former

this formed the basis of the money
