IT IS RATIFIED.
Hawaiian Senate Acts on
Annexation Treaty.
Statement Made by Charge
d'AffaireS ThurStOn.
The Body Known TO BE Un n mously
in Favor Of The Measure.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. IL. =" The
Senate of tho pational Legislature of the
republic of Hawaii has by this time rati-
fled the treaty anneXing the Hawaiian
islands TO tho United states. =" This as-
sertion was made yesterday afternoon by
Mr.. Lorin NJ. Ihurston, charge d'aifaires OF
Hawaii TO the United States. Mr.. Thurs
ton said that the Senate OF the HaWhilhn
Legislature mad been called TO assemble
on Sept. <. and. rs that body is unani-
nous fer annexation, Ee had no doubt
that it has ratified the convention with
out a dissenting voice. Both the Senate
and House of representatives
of tho Hawaiian Legislature
are pledged TO annexation, according to
Mr. Ihurstou. Just before the adjourn
ment of tho two houses last year. joint
solution was adopted. declaring IL TO
bo the sense OF the Legislature that the
interests of Hawaii demanded ner annex
alton TO the United States. This resolu-
ton was adopted unanimously. As the
complexion OF the Senate and the House
has not changed since tho adoption OF the
resolution, Mr.. Thurston has no doubt
that so far as Hawaii Is concerned, all the
steps possible have been taken to accom-
plish annexation.
1t is believed in administration circles
that the G. Of the ratification of the
tsPaty hy Hawaiian Senate will Ee TO
influence mo of the members OF the
United StGtas senate now in the doubtful
lumn TO vote for the convention next
session. Ali that Is now necessary is the
approval OF that BODY and IL is not be-
lieved that many members will be willing
TO shoulder tho responsibility OF defeating
annexation and thus throw Hawaii into
the hands of Japan. No official advices
have been received here concerning the
reply of Minister Copper To the note of
Minister Shimumura, in which, on be-
half of his government. he accepted the
principle of arbitration in the matter OF
the immigration controversy.

 That from the circumstances of the case and the evidence offered the said Clement Platock and others came to their death by gunshot wounds on September TO- at the hands of Sheriff James Martin and his deputies, and in this, we the jury, do all agree. and we, Phil j. Boyle, Thomas T. Thomas, Barton Press and Peter McKiernan. of this jury, do further say that the said Clement Platock, with others, was marching peaceably and unarmed on the public highway; that they were intercepted by said Sheriff Martin and his deputies and mercilessly shot to death; and we do further find that the killing was unnecessary and could have been avoided without serious injury to either person or property, and we find finally that the killing was wanton and unjustifable but in this we George Maue and F.

The com pany is preparing to use all its land in Rosedale for tracks and other terminal purposes and does not want it ham, pered by streets. The city council was given to understand that it would not be very long before roundhouses and shops would follow. Officials of the company are reticent regard ing Rosedale plans and say they are incomplete and indefinite, but they do not deny that the establishment of the main terminals of the Memphis rail- way at that place will be brought about gradually. The first actual work for the establishment of the terminals in Rosedale has been com menced. The ground has been sur geyed for 16 miles of switch tracks and grading will begin in few days

FOR IRRIGATION.
The Delegates to the National Congress
 Hold a Session.
THE OKLAHOMA DELEGATION
The Members Working to Secure the Next Place of Meeting at Guthrie--Prof. Emery's Essay on the Missis-
 rippi Overflow.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 2o.-The deie- gates to the sixth annual meeting of the National Irrigation congress are nearly all here and the convention held its first session this afternoon, when the usual speeches of welcome were delivered and organization perfected. The attendance is fairly representative of the arid and semi-arid states. The surprise of the convention is the dele gation from Oklahoma, which Is here with the avowed purpose of securing the gathering of 1898 for Guthrie. This delegation consists of k. kleiner, of Oklahoma City, Henry l.. Glazier and C. F. Rock, of Saltwater. The claims of Boise, Idaho, Portland, Ore, Fort Worth, Tex, San Antonio, Tex, and Omaha, Neb., will also be put forth. The other delegates appear rather indifferent, but seem to think the claims of Oklahoma are worthy of careful consideration. Omaha wants the meeting on account of her exposi- tion next year and Boise puts forth an attractive plea.
 Utah is represented by Dr. Young, q nephew of Brigham Young's son. Col orado is represented by A. B. Moulton, of the land department of the Atchi- son. Tonelxn x Santa Fa railroad. Kan- sas has George Leis and Prot. J. s. Emery, of Lawrence; Col. E. k. Moses, of Great Bend and F. A. Hammett, of Marysville, on the ground alive to her interests The Kansas delegates are we'll to the front in all the arrange t.. { L.., t1w~ recognized that Kansas has become one of the great irrigation states of the union, and as such is entitled to dis tinguished consideration in gatherings of this kind. Missouri has number of delegates here, among whom are J. E. Chapin and ]. S. Cooley, of St. Jo- seph.
 Col. Moses, of Great Bend. Kan, as the chairman of the congress and an irrigationist of national reputation, has general supervision over all mat ters. and it is largely due to his con- stant agitation of the subject and his appeals to men in authority that the congress is made possible and so many delegates are here.
 A number of the delegates went out to the Bryan home this morning and called on Mir. Bryan, who will address the convention Prof. Emery, of Lnw- renee, will, during the congress, sub init his essay upon the overflow waters of the Mississippi. This is the one which has taken the prize offered shortly after the overhows last winter.
