GREAT SUSPENSE IN HAWAII.
Secret Notice to the Senate of n Special
 Session of That Body.

San Francisco, Sept. 1.-The steamer Australia, from Honolulu direct, arrlV- ed to-day With the following Hawaiian advices: Francis M. Hatch, minister to Wash ington, arrived August 20 with special information which will require the at- tention of both government and senate. and secret notice has already been issued to the members of the latter body calling upon them to meet in eX- tra session September 6 to consider the question. Meanwhile Minister Hatch IS in almost constant communication with President Dole and his cabinet The lawmakers will be asked to rat ify the annexation treaty recently sign ed Tn Washington. As a majority or the members favor annexation the mat ter will be rushed through.
 The reason for an extra session of the senate is a matter of conjecture, and much curiosity is evinced. One sena- tor is authority for the statement that Minister Hatch brought word from President Mckinley that he had re- solved to call congress two months ear Her than usual for the purpose of dis posing or the treaty before the regular session, and this theory appears to find favor with other senator's
 Another matter to be considered by the Hawaiian senate is that of render ing assistance to the executive in un- raVenng the Japanese muddle. as it is sald that Japan's acceptance of the of Ter or arbitration is so vague that the president and his cabinet are in a quandary. There are rumors of a split in the cabinet over the question. and it is said that the intervention of the senate is required to prevent an open rupture.
 The Hawaiian Star created a sensa- tion by the publication of scheme, al- legged to have been backed by the sugar trust, to block annexation It is said that a call has been made for man. moth demonstration, on September IA, against closer political union with the United States. Senators Morgan and Quay are expected to arrive from the United States that day, and the object of the anti-annexationists is to impress them with the feeling upon the island. The United States steamship Benning ton arrived from San Diego August "A after run of nine days, and the Mari on is prepared to leave on the 18th for Mare Island.
 James B. Castle, who has held the position of collector of customs since the queen was deposed, has resigned on account of ill-health. It is rumored. however, that the real cause of his res- ignation is dissatisfaction with the manner in which the cabinet is hand ling the Japanese affair. Castle con- trols a newspaper, and it is generally believed that he will not devote his whole time and attention to conduct ing vigorous attack upon the off, cials.

ERE IS THOMAS DoYLE?
Came to This City From Madison and Hasn't Been Heard From Since.


 Hasn't Been Heard From Since.
 Madison, Conn.,, Sept. 1.-Thomas Doyle, contractor and builder, who has been located here for the past five years, has mysteriously disappeared, and his friends suspect foul play. He left here early in July to go to New Haven to purchase lumber to complete a contract and since then he has not been heard from. He was known to have about $500 in money when he start ed for New Haven, besides a valuable gold watch and chain.
 Mir Doyle lost his wife about ten years ago and since then has at times tried to drown his sorrow in the flow ing bowl. It is said that he was some what under the influence of liquor when last seen. His friends here thinking that he might have been taken Ill and probably went to Sharon, where his mother and sister reside, paid but little attention to his absence, but as his absence became prolonged inquiries were made, and 1t was learned he had not been to Sharon nor to Waterbury, where another sister resides.
 The theory of foul play is strength- ened by the knowledge that he pur- chased some articles in New Haven and had them forwarded by express and they are still uncalled for. He left no unpaid bills and his contracts have al- ways proven satisfactory. All his per- sonal effects still remain at the Yer mont house. where he made his home. MT. Doyle is described as about forty five years of age, five feet seven inches in height and weighs about 175 pounds; dark hair sprinkled with gray, and a brown moustache. The disappearance has been reported to the authorities and an effort will be made to locate him..

THE AUErGERT TRIAL.
Testimony Yesterday Seemed to Favor the
 Accused Sausage Maker.

Accused Sausage Maker.
 Chicago, Sept 1.-But two witnesses were on the stand in the Luetgert trial to-day. The first witness was Frank Bialk, the watchman of the factory, who was on the stand yesterday. To- day he was turned over to the defence for cross examination. His testimony was in the main unshaken, although the defence drew from him the fact that 1t was by no means an unusual thing for Luetgert to be around the factory at all hours of the night. He said in his direct examination that he thought Luetgert was acting in a sus- picious manner on the night of the mur- der.
 The other witness was Frank Odorof- sky, an emp1oye of the factory, who placed the caustic potash in the vat on the order of Luetgert. He had been working around the vats for a long time, but that night was the first time be had ever seen any caustic potash. Luetgert told him to take the stuff away and throw it around the yard, but instead of doing this he dumped it all in one place and afterward show ed the police where he had put it.

IMMIGRATION DURING JULY.
In That Month 14,756 Aliens Landed on
 Our Shores.

Washington, Sept 1-The treasury department has prepared figures show ing the immigration for the month of July They show a total immigration into the United States of 14,756 against 21476 for the corresponding month last year. This decrease is considered rath- CT re remarkable in view of the stimulus in business conditions in the United States during the past few months, experience having demonstrated that the tide of immigration to the United States fol- lows closely on opportunities which ex- it's here for those seeking better condi- tions under which to make the strug- gle for life. During the past few years of depression immigration steadily de- creased. Last year the total was less than the number which came in sim gle year from Germany alone.

COAL MINERS ALL AT SEA
CONFUSED BY REPORTS AND DE-
 NI1LS OF END OF STRIKE.

President Ratchford Says He Has Sub-
 mitted No Proposition to the Operators
 Give tho Strikers 64 Cents a Ton-SO0
 Miners in Iowa Join the Idle WorkInen.
 Pittsburg, Sept. 1.-The striking coal miners in Pittsburg are all at sea over the reported probable settlement of the strike. Cameron Miller, eX-vice presi- dent of the Union Mine Workers of America, received telegram from President Ratchford this morning de- nying the statement that he had made proposition to the operators and say ing that he had received an offer that he would submit to the executive board. This proposition comes from Thomas K. Young, who represents the M. A. Hanna interests. The leading lake shippers who are in Pittsburg emphat- ically deny that MT. Young Is on the executive committee of their organiza- ton, or that he has any authority to represent them.
 The offer of GA cents, they say, is higher than they are willing to make, but if it will bring about a settlement it would likely be accepted. Some of them said the proposition reported to have been made by President Ratch- ford to start the mines at 69 cents, five cents of which was to be retained un- til a decision had been given by the board of arbitration, would be satis fa atn Tha7r ipc tn ha1iauo that settlement of some kind would be made within few days They still contend, however, that if an agreement be reached at the miners terms, the benefit will be only temporary, and the rate will go down as soon as lake navi- gation closes.
 Wheeling, w. Va, Sept 1.-The news that settlement of the strike of the coal miners in the Pittsburg district is near at hand has thrown damper upon the leaders in West Virginia for it. In part at least, bears out the pro- phecy made by the operators as soon as the Ohio and Pennsylvania miners got ready to settle, they would do so, without consulting the West Virginia miners who came out purely through sympathy and with no formulated de- mand for better conditions. However. they will wait for positive information before taking action.
 Des Moines, la, Sept. 1.-The threat ened miners strike in this district cul- minated to-day and all miners, except about 200 employed in Christy Flint valley and Des Moines Coal and Mining companies went out, following the lead of the Carbondale miners of several days ago. It was decided by meeting held to-day to stand by the demand for $1 ton. conference committee was appointed to confer with the operators.
 About 800 men are out. The operators issued a statement few days ago re- fusing to grant the price asked by the miners and it is reasonably certain they will not give in The present price is 75 and 80 cents and the operators may grant S5 with a possibility of 90 cents. The Des Moines district is known among the miners as Polk coun- ty, but the strike may effect the off, cials Des Moines district taking in Adair, Dallas, Green Guthrie, Marion, Polk, Storey and Webster counties.

That Militia Are Dissatisfied
 London, Sept. 2.-The news regarding the Indian frontier troubles is indefi- mite and fragmentary, and it is difficult to follow the varying movements of the British forces, which are apparently undecided in consequence of the quick ly changing tactics of the tribesmen. There is every probability that an att tack will be made within few days.
 The station at Gazarbun is small one. A report comes from Quetta, Be- luchistan, to the effect that the militia there have become disaffected, but the rumor is not credited in government circles.

 Wins in the 2:O7 Pace

Hartford, Sept. 1.-Seven heats were trotted by the 2:30 horses at Charter Oak park to-day without decision be- ing reached.

There are many who look for her to win tomorrow. Nearly all the finishes in this race were close, and the three horses who still remain appear to have an even chance, judging from to- days form.
 Oakland Baron was really never se- riously bothered in the 2:14 trot, Val ence, who was expected to set the pace, never taking the lead in the whole three miles.
 The pacing race was we'll contested Bright Regent taking one heat, when Guinette broke, and Pearl Onward making three hard fights for first place. She drove the winner so hard in the last heat that Prince Regent, after los ing ground on a break, was shut out.
