Committee Is Practically
Unanimous.
WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED AT
THIS SESSION.
During the Recess All Literature
Bearing on the Subject Is
to Be CoIlated.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 14.-The
Senate Foreign Relations Committee has
ordered favorable report to be made to
the Senate on the Hawaiian annexation
treaty. The committee has made no
amendment TO the convention, and the
vote by which it was adopted was practi-
cally unanimous.
Daniel and Turpie refrained from
voting. The treaty was favored by Davis,
Foraker, Clarke, Cullom and Morgan,
and the proxy of Frye was also cast in the
affirmative. Lodge, Mills and Gray were
absent.
1t is not expected that any considera-
ton will be given to the treaty this ses-
sion. In the recess a subcommittee. con-
sisting of Chairman Davis, Foraker and
Turpie. will have prepared for the use of
the Senate all literature bearing on the
subject that is available. Chairman
Davis, at the executive session of the
Senate, reported back the treaty TO that
body, and without debate it went to the
executive calendar.

The Manufacturers and Producers A $50
ciatlon's members are greatly pleased with
the progress made in throwing obstacles
in the way of those who made such an ef
fort to send that "sheep-dip" brandy to
England under the name of California

ington have already taken the matter in
hand and have prom ised to change the
rules relative 10 bonded warehouses so
that hereafter the products therefrom will
be known by their true names and their
components publicly announced.
Not only has success been made in this
direction, but the exporters of the vile
stuff have been baked through the efforts
of Naval officer Colonel John P. Irish,
who has followed the consignment from
the time it was started on its way to Eng
land. He at once communicated with the
customs authorities in England, and re-
Gently he received very satisfactory re-
ply. The customs officials there informed
Colonel Irish that they would seize the
stuff as soon as it arrived on British soil.
They proposed to contiscate IL and dump
the whole mess into the Thames without
any ceremony.
The case of the local Federal officers
against Inspector Dockery of the Health
Department still hangs in the air. The
papers in his case were sent from WASH
ington on June 10. but they have failed TO
arrive here. That is they have not reached
the hands of the proper authorities. The
statement OF the people IN Washington is
that the papers had been INSTRUCTED and
that the Postmaster mere has been in
structed to try and find some trace of
them. When Dockery's case will come
up for trial is not known.

The great convention which has just closed

This migration will quicken ana encourage

LINCOLN, NEBR., July 14.-The rupture
of a love affair among Lincoln society

1t promises the most EN- mbarrassing re-
suits, since the Tilted lover declares that
he will recover every one OF the many
costly presents he has given the young
lady during two years courtship, and
among those presents are a number of
jeweled garters, which the young lady has
not surrendered. He follows with threats
OF replevln, and the determination of the
young man to send an officer to search
ior the jeweled gaTters has caused ami
mated discussions in local society circles
as to just how far an officer might be ex-
cused IN carryin on such a search.
The trouble has all grown out of the en-

young attorney of Port Huron, Mich,

UKiON PACIFIC FORECLOSURE.
Failure in the Senate to TGke Up tn.
Resolution to Suspend Tho Cleveland
Agreement,

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 14.-The
net result OF five hours struggle in the
Senate to-day was the passage of the joint
resolution, to which there was no objec-
ton, permitting tenn porary studio to be
erected in some public grounds in Wash
ington for the construction of a statue of
General Sherman.
Early in the day an effort was made by
Morgan and Harris to take up the resolu-
tion requesting the President to suspend
the agreement made by Cleveland admin
istration Tor the foreclosure and sale OF the
Union Pacific property and for the receipt
| BY the G overnment of over $45, GOO, 600 in
full pay ment OF its lien.
The atte mpt to take up the resolution
was resisted by Gear and Thurston. As
there was no voting quorum present the
| first two hours of the session were wasted
in ave and no votes and in calling the
roll. A bare quorum usually responded
| to call, but when IL came to voting many
| of those present were paired. After this
| had gone to tiresome length the Joint
resolution as to Sherman's studio came
over from the House aud furnished op-
| portunity for discussion. Under cover OF
! it Morgan said all ne desired to about the
Union Pacific matter, and his argument
was replied to atequal length by Thurston.
| The res oution itself was not really before
! the Senate, but an effort will be made to
| take it up to- morrow.
Thurston, discussing the situation be-
tween the Government and the Union
| Pacific Company, said: There is,a guar
antee secured by deposit of S4, 500, 00C
that when the property is put up tor sale
there shall be bid a sufficient amount to
| net the Government $45. 900, 900 of its claim
| of SOS, ,OO0,0 That is all the agreement
! there is. My objection to this resolution
is that if by its passage the guarantee falls
| to the ground there can never be anything
like such a bid and guarantee again. No
one can point out man with 81, 600, ,00C
behind him who will guarantee that a
| better bid will be made at any future
time"
Thurston said the Government was to
receive $47 zoo, 600 for its debt OF $66. 900, ,00C
or S67, 000.0O0 including the interest paid
by the Government on the subsidy bonds.
If any set of gentlemen would guarantee
higher bid and would deposit 81, 500, O0C
to make it good he would consent to the
passage of the pending resolution.

pire for moral and cultured people far ex-
ceeding any in recorded history. [Applause.]
Various State organizations were then
perfected and the convention took re-
cess.
The evening session was called to order
at O'Clock, and there was very good at
tendance, much larger than in the after
noon. The special order was the consid-
Grafton of the annexation of Hawaii, but
before that subject was taken up resolu-
ton was introduced and adopted, with a
cheer, extending the thanks of the con-
gress to President Mckinley for his APP
rointment of Captain w. L. Merry as
Minister to Central America.
William A. Kinney of Hawaii gave an
address on 'Hawaii," and was loudly
cheered at various points in his speech.
Dole and his Ca abinet to the Congress. he
quoted from number OF reports, showing
tnat the imports to Hawaii from San
Francisco were greater than those TO
China, japan or Mexico. There was o
doubt in his mind that there would be
war between Hawaii and Japan, unless
the United States should step in and pre-
vent it. 1t was in the power OF the
United States to do this now by annexing
the islands, and any proposition short OF
absolute annexation would prove futile,
and produce the greatest complications
Imaginable.
Lorin A. Thurston followed in the same
strain. Hawaii did not want to become a
State, for the present at least, and he was
aware of the fact, as were all others, that
she would not be fit for it for some years
TO come. He declared emphatically that
a proiectorate would not answer. He paid
a tribute to The character OF the men
at the head of the Hawaiian Government.
The congress then adjourned until to-
morrow.
Three thousand of the ladies of Salt
Lake attended reception in honor of
Mrs. W. J. Bryan, who arrived in Salt

MIS-. RACK POINTED OUT.
Iden:f.d as having Carried Parcels
From lhe Cottage Where G0Iden-
suDDe WGs Murdered

NEW YORK, n. Y, July 4-The Dis.
trict Attorney received evidence to-day
which he declares is unimpeachab in its
corroboration of Barber John Gotha's
story of the murde er OF William Gulden-
suppe, as he says Marin Thorn has told
it in his confession. The evidence is
given by six residents of Woodside who
live in the neigh borhood OF the cottage
where the murder was committed.
They identified Mrs. Mack among twen-
ty-hve other female prisoners. All had
seen Thorn and Mrs. Mack and Gulden-
suppe in the cot age on theyday of the
murder. On the following day Mrs. Mack
was seen to enter the cottage alone. She
came out after a while carrying long
bundle done up in brown paper and
bound with heavy cord.
1t is believed this is the bundle that
contained the severed legs OF Gelden-
suppe. Mrs. Mack got on a trolley car
and rode off with the bundle. She re-
turned in half an hour, and left the
house twice after that alone, each time
carrying smaller bundle done up in pa.
per. When she returned the fourth time
the surrey drove up. Thorn and Mrs
Mack came out of the house together car
rying a bundle so heavy that they had
great trouble TO lift it into the surrey.
This, the police believe, contained the
trunk of the murdered man. None of the
witnesses who saw GuldensQppe enter the
cottage saw him leave it again.
One of the neigh hbors described how he
discovered blood running from the
drainpipe connecting with the bathtub i'll
the cottage. The authorities think they
will be able to prove by this that Thorn
chopped Guldensuppe to pieces in the
bathtub, letting the water run over night
to wash away the blood. The police are
still futileIy dragging East River for Guild
ensuppe's head.

WASHIN GTON, ID. g., July 14.-The
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
to-day reported favorably on the resolu-
ton empowering the President to take
such measures as are in his judgmen
necessary to obtain the release of Ona
Melton, Alfredo Laborde and William
Midea, who were captured In April, 1896,
by Spanish gunboat on the schooner
Competitor. The resolution also cuthor-
ICES and requires the President to exercise
such power as is necessary to secure this
end.
The report recites all the facts that have
been brought in the Competitor case, her
ownership capture and citizenship OF the
three men named in the resolution, to-
gether with the proceedings us far had
by the Spanish authoriti es, the trial, SEN
tence. etc. The report characterizes it a
mockerv y: a trial.
The afi avits OF the parties are cited to
show that they were coerced into Spanish
waters, in wnlch case they were not SUBJ

not subject to piracy. and intended no act
of depreciation on the seas, nor were they
