 READY FOR SIGNAT URES Hawaiian Treaty Completed and
 Submitted to Mckinley. THE VIEW OF THE PEOPLE Desired by the President, Which, if Favorable, Will Prove an Incentive to the Senate
 to Take Prompt Action.

Washington, June 15.-It Is understood that the Hawaiian treaty was completed today and ready to receive the signature of the negotiators, Secretary Sherman, of the United States government, and either Minister Hatch or MT. Lorin Thurston, as special commissioner from the Hawaiian government. The docu7 ment itself has been prepared and everyi thing was in readiness when it was taken again to the white house for the presi7 dents final action and review. Secretary Sherman remained at the department later than was his custom to, but finally, at o'clock the attempt to secure the signature to the treaty today was aban- doned
 This may prevent the submission of the treaty to the senate tomorrow as it was the intention of the cabinet, but delay in the case will be not material At the cabinet meeting tomorrow in the course of the discussion it will be decided whether its presence in the senate would cause obstruction of the tariff bill on which there is every disposition on the part of the president to avoid and 1t can be stated that the treaty will rot go in with any idea that it is not the wish of the executive that it should be acted on promptly.
 While the treaty is in the senate in tha hands of the committee on foreign rela- ton or on the calendar of executive busi- ness it is the purpose of the president that the people of the United States shall have an opportunity through the press and other mediums to declare their senti- msnts upon the matter and if, as eXpected, there is an overwhelming declaration for. annexation, it is believed that the senate will be quick to respond to the demand. In this case the treaty, it is believed, can, be taken up and ratified in the course of one or two executive sessions, while the. regular tariff debates are in progress. daily.f,si .a-lf =
 The one point of importance in which the treaty differs from the convention ne-s gotiated by Secretary Foster in Presi- dent Harpis isons .administ stration, is in the. omission of any provision for ex-Queen Liluokalani and the Princess Kaikulani- In tn original treaty it was pr roVlde1 that the government of the United States pay the ex-uueen the sum of $20000 cash and the same amount of money as pension each year during the remainder of her natural life, providing she, in good faith, submitted to the government of the United States and the local government of the islands. The Princess Kaikulani, being next in line of royal blood, was to receive a payment of 1000 cash, but nds pension under a similar provision as in the case of the ex-queen.
 It is understood that any objection that might have been expected to the annexa7' ton of the islands based on the large proportion of coolies in che population has been forstalled by an article not only prohibiting the further immigration Of such laborefs to the Hawaiian islands, but also prohibiting the coming of any of the Chinese from the island to other parts of the United States

4 RUSE CLEVERLY WORKED DauntleSS Out-maneuvres Uncle
 Sam'S TruSty Men ANgESETs SAIL FOR CUBA
 s Expe on Said 10 Be Unusually Large Cargo 6 Very yaluabIe-How the Russ
 Famed Out.

leS xsonvfae, Fla, June 15.--A special to th' 5ftizen from Tampa says: The steamer D2untless or a boat supposed to be that vessel came into Hllsbore Bay last night and took on a cargo of arms and ammunition from a schooner lying at anchor off the moutn of the Alifa river and sailed rapidly away for the Cuban shore.
 A report was sent out yesterday that the Dauntles5 had sailed from Key West with an expedition, and it was actively circulated by th-se interested. It was bold and successful bluff that threw the officers entirely off their guard and the boat came in last night and got her cargo.
 J. E. Cartaya and Charles silva are the only ones wtho are known to be aboard, and they came up from Key West.
 The schooner came into the bay Satur- day afternoon Ia te and anchored. Her name is not known. She was two masted and of about 130 tons, her hut was back and she was evidently well loaded.
 Quite number of men went from West Tampa, striking across the cwIntry and proceeding to a point on the bay shore, where they took to beats near the place where the men of Callazoa's expedition embarked. The entire work shows that 1t had master hands behind it. for the expedition was gone fully twelve hours before the authorities or Spanish consul knew that anything was going on, so completely were they thrown off their guard by yesterdays shrewd ruse.
 The Dauntless had an engagement to go on the ways here yesterday and had a government boat come upon her unex- pectedly she would have had good ex- cuse for being in Hillsborough bay and would have come on to the city and be hauled out, but as there was no govern ment boat she left her engagement un- filled. The whole affair was worked very nicely and quietly ard few people knew anything about it. The mysterious schooner left about daylight this morn ing. No one seems to know what boat this is, some assert that it is the schooner Adams which received her load from the Biscayne and then ran up in this harbor to obtain steamer that would convey the munitions to Cuba or out to sea to the Dauntless. There is also a rumor that the schooner halls from the neigh bcrhood of Carabello and received her load from point where the railroad crosses the river. The presence of Capt. Parlin, prominent citizen Of 5afAbelr. in this city for the pas few days adds strength to the rumor Since his arrfvai he has been in confer Ni1h parties formerly very active ! rle nitclsteilliss business. .t

THE OUTLOOK IN OHIO

Chairman Towne. of the Silver Repub-
lican national committee, has sent
telegram to the chairman of the Silver
Republican committee in Ohio, advising
against putting a separate state ticket
in the field. Mr. Towne says that his
suggestion will be followed and that his
party in Ohio will support the party de-
claring for silver.
This is good news and it ought to in
sure the election Of the Democratic
ticket by large majority. The Demo-
Gratis in Ohio are entitled to the support
of their Silver Republican friends, for
they have made an issue of silver and
committed themselves fairly and boldly
to the full coinage cause. The battle
will be fought principally upon that is
sue.
The Silver Republicans in deciding to
support the ticket friendly to silver
showed themselves to be wise and self
sacrificing. Perhaps they should have
been given some recognition upon the
Democratic ticket; but of that it is i'm
probable, at this distance, to judge.
Whatever the result of the coming cleo
ton in Ohio may be 1t will demonstrate
most effectually that silver is not dead
AS the Irish gentleman said, to wake a
live corpse is ridiculous and disrespect-
full to the subject.

HANNA AT THE WHITE HOUSE

The report that Senator Mark Hanna
had gone to live in the White House is
denied as the fabrication of some grace
less and irresponsible newspaper corre-
spondent. The matter of fact accept
ance of the story by the reading public
was. however. significantly indicative of
popular opinion regarding the relations
between the president and the man
whose efforts seated him in the presiden-
tial chair. 1t would certainly have been
very convenient arrangement for both.
1t is just possible if not probable that
such an arrangement had been thought
of, even IL 1t was not carried out Pres
ident Mckinley may have been reminded
of the story of the Arab and his camel.
The Arab had gone into camp on the
desert for the night, when furious sand
storm came up. The camel, which was
tethered outside the tent, made great
cutlery and asked permission of its mas
ter to thrust its head inside
the tent for protection from the
savage blasts The kind hearted
Arab consented. The storm grew harder
and the camel besought permission to
insert its shoulders inside the tent
Again the Arab consented. A little later
the camel had squeezed all but it's hind
legs inside the tent. There was then
hardly room inside the little shelter for
both, and the camel seeing this, thrust
its master out into the storm, thus en-
abling it to get the whole of its own
body inside the tent.
If Mr.. Hanna should go to the White
House to board, even though it were
for rest and recrea ton and to visit with
the. family, there would always be the
possibility that some early morning
caller would find Mr.. Hanna seated at
the executive desk while Mr.. cKinley
woNld be vainly kicking his heels on the
outside.
Plainly Mr.. Mckinley cannot afford to
take the risk, even to oblige an old
friend
