TO OMIT PROVISO CLAUSE.

Fight on Annexation to be Made
in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 31-Senator
Perkins was apprised today by wire
that two more memorials from the
sugar beet growers of California, ask
ing for the abrogation of the reciproc-
ity treaty with Hawaii, were on the
! way to him. When they arrive they
will be transmitted to the Senate, and
will form part of the mass of pressure
now being exerted toward changing
this feature of the Dingley tariff bill.
The fact that the opponents of the
reciprocity treaty made no fight on
it in the House indicates that all pos
sible weight has been exerted in the
Senate Senator Perkins, when the
subject was first brought up, saw the
Republican leaders, who at that time
expressed their belief that the Repub-
lican party could not afford to oppose
Hawaii or throw anything in the way
of closer relations with the Islands.
Henry Oxnard, who is making the
fight, said today that he had assur-
ances that many leading men on the
Republican side had changed their
views on the matter. Members of the
Finance Committee, who are now at
work on the tariff bill, will not dis
cuss their standing, as the sugar sched-
ule has not been touched and they re-
fuse to forecast their action. 1t is be-
lieved the attack on the treaty will
take the form of omitting from the tar
iff bill-if sufficient strength is devel
oped-that clause of the sugar sched-
uIe which reads: Provided that moth
ing herein contained shall be so con-
strued as to abrogate or in any manner
impair or affect the provisions of the
treaty of commercial reciprocity con-
cluded between the United States and
the King of the Hawaiian Islands on
the Both day of January, 1875, or the
provisions of any act of Congress here |
tofore passed for execution of the same. |
The proviso has stood in every tariff |
bill up to the present time, and there |
would be hard fight against its elm |
ination in the House. Those favOring |
the abrOgatiOn of the treaty say that |
they have Secretary of State Sherman |
with them, but he will do nothing |
which is not in line with the policy Of |
Mckinley, which is not known as yet |

For Insurgents.

CANEA, March 31-The insurgents,
by bold stroke, occupied the hill on
the south side of Suda bay last even
ing They were promptly shelled by
the British Austrian and Russian war
ships. At daybreak today the fighting
was resumed, and the Cretans were
driven from their positions. AS soon
as the firing ceased they made another
attempt to recover the ground and the
warships promptly resumed the firing.
which was very heavy for several
hours. During the cannonade three
Turks were killed and five wounded.
The Russian Consul at Retimo re-
ports that when he communicated to
the Cretans the proclamation of the
Admirals inviting them to lay down
their arms, the Cretans replied that the
only boon they. would accept from the
powers was political union with Greece.
In spite of the heavy cannonade the
Cretans held their ground stoutly,
even throwing out skirmishers to Pc
pei the Turkish outposts, though they
were compelled to abandon their own
principal positions behind the stone
wall.
At 1915 the last shell fell. Seeing
that the object of the bombardment
was accomplished, the Russian and
Austrian warships steamed away for
blockade service. The British ship
Ardent returned to Suda. The Turkish
soldiery sailed quietly from the forts,
occupied the positions held by the in
surgents, hoisted the Ottoman flag with
manifest delight and advanced across
the open with coolness, though exposed
to the continuous firing of the insur-
gent sharpshOoters, who remained in
the ravine up to the last moment. AL
together about 100 shells were fired.

be a cruel and undeserved fate TO aban-
don them to the rule of some foreign
power. He stated tnat annexation pre-
sented no political or administrative
difficulty, and the objection advanced
that there was no authority iii the
Constitution to annex territory not
contiguous did not seem to have any
weight with the Executive or with
Congress when Alaska was admitted,
nor will it, he added, with enlight-
ened statesmen today,
The speaker did not regard the sug-
gestion of a protectorate as practical
BILE. as he believed it would bring no
end of complications with foreign pow
ers and domestic affairs. We must
either annex the Islands, he said, or
leave them free to make such other al
lance as they may choose or as des-
tiny may determine.

FOR THE ANNEXATION OF HAWAII

Meanwhile, there are being made
strenuous efforts to defeat the reci-
procity clause in the Dingley tariff bill,
with the plea that the beet sugar men
will be ruined by the competition of
free sugar from the Islands. Henry
Oxnard, who represented the sugar
men, is actively fighting the treaty. He
said today: Il have been at work with
the Senators, and believe there will be
enough votes to defeat the clause ia
voring the Hawaiian treaty / am
making fight against it on the ground
that it Will prevent the development of
the beet sugar industry of the Pacific
Coast and Middle West by giving such
advantages to the Islands producers.
''The United States could better af-
ford to pay duty on Hawaiian exported
goods and tax sugar than continue the
reciprocity plan, which has cost the
Government already $4,000, 900 in rev.
enue'
The reciprocity clause has many
friends, however, and it is said that
Senator McEnery, of Louisiana. will
vote for the bill containing it, though
Caffery will oppose it.

MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS.
Beet Sugar Makers Wish Hawaiian
Treaty Abrogated.


SAN FRANCISCO, March ga
memorial to Congress in the form of a
petition signed by the people of the
| country, and especially by those of this
sugar industry, is being extensively
circulated
The petition is protest against the
continuance of the Hawaiian treaty of
1875 and against the proposed annex
alton of the Islands 1t sets forth that
the treaty has been operative against
the revenues of the United States, as
we'll as vitally detrimental to the beet
sugar industry here.
1t appears that under the treaty dur
ing the years 1S9O-95 inclusive, the Ha-
waiian Islands admitted free goods to
the value of over SIS, 1000, 900, showing
that in the interchange of business be-
tween the two countries the Islands
enjoyed rs per cent of the total vol
ume, and this is naturally increased
under the augmenting exports of sugar
without a corresponding increase in
their imports from the United States.
This would indicate that the treaty is
only partially reciprocal; that the
United States has been unnecessarily
deprived of a vast amount of customs
revenue would appear to be indicated
by statistics footing up to over $72 ,000
600, lost during period of 21 years of
commerce with the Islands. The petit
TONERS point out that, as the condi
tions have entirely changed since 1875,
the Government should foster an in
dustry that will make the country self
supplying rather than perpetuate by
subsidy foreign business largely
owned by foreigners who employ
chiefly Mongolians
At the present time there is a capac-
ity here to produce one-half of the Pa
cifc Coast demand, and within two
years the entire demand can be sup
piled from factories now in operation
and in course of construction.

Claim That Trust Fund Under the
VIII is Illegal.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.-The es-
tate of William A. Aldrich, a pioneer,
who died in Alameda February 25, 1892,
is made the subject of dispute in a suit
filed with the County Clerk yesterday
by William Holt AIdrich against Annie
Aldrich Barton, Helen Aldrich Dun
ming, Joseph NJ. Quay and Arthur A.
Smith, trustees under the decedent's
will and also against certain legatees
under the will.
The plaintiff is a son of the deceased.
He is seeking to set aside a trust Gre
ated by clause of his fathers will.
BY that clause of the will AIdrich di-
Tected that after the payment OF GER
tain specific bequests the residue of the
estate should be divided into four equal
shares. He further directed that one of
the four parts should be given 10 each
Of his two daughters and that a third
part be held in trust for the care Of his
son, George Albert Aldrich who, at the
time of the testator's death, was an in

William Holt Aldrich in the suit

the trust sought to be created by his
father is illegal. His claim is based on
the provision of the code which forbids
the holding Of property in trust be-
yOnd the term of lives in being. The
plaintiff asks the Court to set aside
conveyances of property made by the
trustees to his two sisters, and further
more asks that he be decreed the own

RUSSIAN MINISTER QU|ZZED 0LNEY
Wanted to Know if 1t Was an Offensive
and Defensive or Any Other Kind
of an Alliance-Olney's
Reply.

London, Jan. 1.-THE Chronicles
Washington correspondent says:
Secretary Olney, replying to the ques-
ton of the Russian minister, NJ. De kolz-
burg, as to whether the arbitration treaty
with England was offensive and defen-
sive or anything in the nature of an alli-
ance, said that the question might be
answered yes and no. That in theory and
diplomatic acceptance it was not an ALI
ance, but that it is an alliance in support
Of the Monroe doctrine, which England
recognized by the terms of the Nenczuc-
Ian treaty.
THE arbitration treaty" Mr.. Olncy
said, practically makes Great Britain
our ally for the maintenance and enforce
mcnt of the Monroe doctrine"
The same correspondent, commenting
upon the above, says:
MIR. Olney recognizes that England Is
the more natural ally of America than
Russia, whose hitherto prOfcssed friend
ship for the United States is hatred of
England. 1t is evident that Russia will
do her best TO persuade the senate not
to ratify the treaty"
The Chronicle, in an editorial, regards
the foregoing matter as of the deepest
Importance, and says that it desires moth
ing better than that Russia shall take
the course indicated
THE scales will then fall from Amcri-
cas- eyes" it concludes.

POLITICAL PARTIES FALLING
BACK ON OLD ISSUES.

In all probability Senator PETER has
democratic party on square issue with
the populist party. Both wings of the
democratic party, the silver as well rs
the gold democrats, admit that Jack
sonian democracy was and is the uncom-
promising advocate of hard money. Sen
ator PETER last week in the senate cham
bcr addressing the members of the sen
ate from his seat in that chamber, said
that "thc federal government requires
silver and gold only TO provide for the
existing interest bearing public debt but
all the remaining currency of the whole
country should consist of irredecmable
paper, emitted exclusively by congress,
and based upon the public credit and the
national banks should be created by con-
grcss and required to loan that currency
ON Il collateral of commodities or real cS-
tate at an interest fixed by congress-
Senator PETER has in this declaration
announced two principles that every
Jacksonian democrat has and will make
war upon. the first. the national banks
To which the democracy have opposed
"A united front, and secondly the more re-
cent principle of suh-trcaSury loans based
upon pcrishablc commodities. that the
democrats of Texas ana other states have
been fighting ever since its declaration
in the organic natioual platform of the
populiSt party. The only use for silver
and gold is to pay the interest on the
public debt, fOrSooth, and this from SEN
ator PETER. who, as late ms last sum
mcr, was the ardent advocate of an I'M
limited coinage of silver. Now he says
it is useless as n general currency ana
he proposes To limit the use of gold and
silver to such pcnt up Utica as the
payment of interest on the public debt
The democratic party has been divided
upon the unlimited coinage of silver, but
Senator PETER will find that party OPP
posed TO giving silver such fatal wound
in the house of its friends, and he will
further find that the factions of that
party will unite when such an attack is
made on the Jacksonian doctrine of hard
