PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The following summary of the mes
sage of President Mckinley is taken
from the San Francisco Call:
The message of President Mckinley
to Congress assumes properly that the
extra session settled the tariff ques-
tion, and takes up the currency as the
next important national matter to be
disposed of. The President recon-
mends the estoppel of the endless
chain by which the gold reserve is de-
pleted by holding treasury notes paid
into the treasury for gold until gold
is paid for them by intending purcha-
sers. He approves also the plan of
Secretary Gage that national banks
be allowed to issue circulating notes
to the face value of the bonds which
they have deposited, and that the tax
on circulating notes be reduced to
one-half of one per cent per annum.
The President believes Spain is In
earnest in the desire to pacify Cuba
without further resort to the meth
DDS of the dark ages, and would now
Withhold recognition of belligerency
until the new Spanish Ministry can be
proven. A large part of the mes
sage is devoted to the discussion OF
the Cuban affair.
He touches upon existing complica-
tiOns in Central America in their bear
ing on the Nicaragua canal.
While he regrets the partial failure
of the Wolcott commission in the in,
terest of international bmetallism
yet he sees reason for felicitation in
the friendly attitude toward silver as
sumed by France.
He would foster trade with all ma.
tions by reciprocal agreement, and ho
urges upon Congress the necessity fol
earnest work in the rehabilitation o1
the American merchant marine.
The preservation of the herd of fur
bearing seals is most earnestly advo
Gated.
Arbitration as means for the set
tlement of disputes between nations
finds the same strong favor as under
the Cleveland administration.
The Importance of proper show
ing at the Paris Exposition of 1900 il
set forth at some length.
| The President is an earnest advocat,
of strong naval program, and would
build large dry docks in addition t.
| those already in existence on botl
| the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. ant
construct an additional battle ship a
once ON the western seaboard.
The necessity for more strict gov
ernmental supervision of Alaska i
pointed out. The President urges al
so, the duty of the nation to eXtent
help, should help be needed, to tn
miners in the Yukon valley.
1t is deemed wise, for the nation
good, to make land holding citizen
of the five civilized trives in the Indi
an Territory.
The need for a better system o

yellow fever epidemic, is pointed out

LAST NIGHTS BIG STORM
GREATEST ELECTRICAL DISPLAY
IN YEARS.
Houses Shaken by Crashing Thunder
A Reminisence-The Rainfall Gen.
eral and Timely.

There were those who thought that
the Judgment day had come when
they were startled from their beds,
about o'clock this morning, by
crash of thunder that fairly shook
their houses. 1t accompanied blind
ing flash of lightning that was even
more startling and left the timid ones
in a state of mental collapse. No such
display of electrical forces has been
witnessed in this city for a score or
more of years.
1t was bad night, on the whole.
The predicted Southwestern broke late
in the afternoon, and rain fell in tor
rents during the evening and through
out the night. Sheet lightning was
seen in the west soon after nightfall,
but the electrical storm did not ap-
proach until after midnight. In many
residences lights were kept burning
all night, and many were so startled
by the electrical display that they did
not GO to bed at all. The rain fall
was quite heavy. Out at the Park Ce-
ell Browns gauge registered 70 of an
inch. Frank Browns gauge, on the
plains, showed but Al of an inch,
while Judge Wilcox reports precipi-
tation of "a of an inch at his place
at Kalihi.
The heavy thunder bolt early this
morning recalls wildly to the minds
of old timers similar bolt that de-
scended to the earth nearly a quarter
of a century ago, while the body of
King Lunalilo was being removed
from the Nuuanu cemetery to the
King street burial place. For some
reason the ministers had refused to
permit a royal salute to be fired. The
funeral procession was just entering
the gate of the King street cemetery,
during a heavy rain storm, when a
binding fash of lightning was seen,
followed Immediately by fearful
crash of thunder. Thousands of peo-
pie were crowded in and about the
cemetery, and the bolt caused the
widest confusion among them. Wom-
en- tainted and men fell upon their
knees. The bolt was considered by
many as marking to the Ministry
from the Almighty.
A native chronicler of the time re-
lates that many horses, dogs and
chickens died the next day. The
event will be long remembered by the
natives

tor Davis. His promised action of
calling up the treaty in the Senate to-
day was postponed by reason of the
early adjournment out of respect to
the memory of Senator George.
Party lines have been drawn so VERY
closely since the Presidents message
was sent in that the friends of an
neXation have been unable to secure
the promise of sixty votes necessary
to put through the treaty. IN fact,
the figures given out by friend and
advocate of annexation tonight show
that only fifty-four votes are assured
for ratification.
To Offset these conditions however,
there is doubtful list of sixteen. The
out and out opponents of the treaty
number nineteen. This shows loss
of three to the ratification group since
the extra session. they having passed
to the doubtful list, while as many
went into the opposing column.
With only six votes needed the -at--
ification men feel certain chat they
should win. but they prefer to make
the movement an entire national one
by taking up the Morgan bill and giv-
ing the house a chance to act. The
opposition admits the presence CT a
majority but hopes to win over In1ny
votes during the debate. This will
have the effect of producing long de-
lay before the voting, for the opposi-
tion has many strong fighters.
THE MORGAN BILL.
The Morgan bill should pass the
House by majority approaching 100
if the comment heard by the annexa-
tionists is a guide. Congressman Bar
ham, who is warm advocate of the
measure, said tonight that he was sur
prised by the amount of interest as
shown in annexation. While his
meetings have been largely with Re-
publicans, he says he has not found
any outspoken anti-annexationists On
the other hand, he has found so many
men who favor the plan that he is
convinced the bill for annexation will
have a great majority in the House.
Speaker Reed, it is understood, is op-
posed to the bill, but would not go TO
the length of preventing consideration
of an administrator measure.
The feeling tonight is that the Se,r-
ate Foreign Relations Committee will
decide to press the Morgan bill, as
Senator Davis has announced his in
tention to insist upon consideration
of the question at once.
The native commission now here
has not yet got to work, but is feeling
its way along.

TAWNEY'S VIEWS.

NEW YORK, December IA Sun
special from Washington says: Rep
resentative Tawney of Minnesota, who
has just returned from a visit to Ha-
waii with other congressman, and
who is one of the most enthusiastic
anneXationists of Congress, makes the
interesting statement that practical
ly all the opposition to annexation
among the citizens of the Islands
comes from the native women. The
Hawaiian women. he says, fear that
their social status will be lowered
should Hawaii become a part of the
United States. They are now recog
nized as equals to the white women,
and work with them socially.

THE LATEST.

The following letter was received
by Minister Damon, and is based on
the latest telegraphic information:
San Francisco, Cali, Dec. 8, 1897.
Hon. S. NJ. Damon, Honolulu, II. 1.
Dear Sir: Congress convened for
the regular long session on the 9th
inst; the President sent in his mes
sage with usual promptness and it
gives us much pleasure to send you
under separate cover copy of "rhe
Chronicle" containing the full text;
the paragraph concerning Hawaii we
regard as a very dignified and strong
statement of his position upon the
question.
Already the subject is being pushed
into prominence, but it is hard to
judge of the course that will be fol-
lowed; many predict that the treaty
will be abandoned and the friends of
annexation will fall back upon Nor
gan's joint resolution as being the
surest method of attainment, but all
is mere conjecture at this early stage
of the proceedings.
o. Yours Respectfully.

Another letter saws:

All opinions, however, are mere con-
lectures at this early stage of the
proceedings. The situation is not suf-
ficiently developed to enable any de-
cision as to the course likely to be fol-
lowed. According to latest advices
there is no present intention of aban-
doning the treaty and the Republican
leaders are giving the subject earnest
attention. The decision as to course
of cction win await the return of the
President from his home in Canton
(where he has gone to the death bed
of his mother) and the opposition is
not as strong as indicated in the pa
perS.

Good dav monsieur!"
Couronne was at the door, Ravaillac
at her head, and, mounting 1 went at
a walking pace towards the Pont au
Change, my servant yard or so be-
hind. 1t was my intention to seek de
Belin, to ask him to find out if was
in any danger owing to last nights
folly-and to beg his advice on the
course 1 was to pursue.
I had been recognized by dAyen. My
name was known to those with him
and any trouble with the Hotel de Vile
meant hopeless disaster. 1 had almost
made up my mind to conceal myself
somewhere until the day of flight but
before taking any action thought it adj
visable to consult my friend, and to re-
turn Ravaillac to his service.
On my way to the Rue de Bourbon
nais, however, began to turn the mat
ter of Ravaillac over again in my mind,
and found myself between the hedge
and the ditch. If 1 got rid of him, the
man, if he was spy, could watch me
in secret; if 1 kept him with me, the
same thing happened. After all, whilst
with me he had greater opportunities,
and the less of the two evils was to be
rid of him-yes, 1t would be better so.
Imagine my uiSdppolIiIHiChI NACh
reaching his hotel to find that Belin
was out! vallon begged me to wait,
explaining that his master. had been
absent for so long a time that his re-
turn would be but matter Of minutes.
He had supped out the night before
with de vitry, the captain of the Scot
guards, and M. lie Grand, had come
back late, and gone forth very early
in the morning, and it was now full
time he was back.
I determined therefore to wait,
though every moment was Of import
ance to me, and after half-hour OF
patience in an easy chair, rose and
walked towards the window to while
away the time by watching what was
going on below One Of the heavy bro
cade curtains was half drawn, and
without thinking of it I came up to-
wards that side, and looked out from
behind it's cover. 1t struck me as
strange that my horse was without the
gate. instead of being within the court
yard, and Ravaillac. with the reins

"My dear fellow, let that rest. All
that you have to do now is to come
with me this afternoon, put your case
to the king, and I lay 100 crowns to a
tester you hear no more of the little
affair of last night.
AS he said this, looking me full in
the face, with peculiar stress on the
last words of his speech, a sudden
light came upon me. Sully's lands
marched with those Of de Belin. They
were friends. Sully did not, for rea-
sons of his own, wish to know that he
took an interest in my mission, and
the rest was easy to guess.
"Pardieu! That little thrust through
the sword arm of M. lie Baron is, after
ALL ndt so unlucky, -eh, Belin? At least
for our very good lord of Muret and
Villebon.,
But Lisois only laughed in reply as
he said: "Adda cat falling on his feet

con, d'Auriac. Shall I get Rouge Croix
to prick the new coat Of arms?"
GAS you will; you have made my

there in breathless agitation.
"What is it, madame? Come in and

loudly, and then dropping her voice to
whisper, "Ravaillac was out last

"a hundred thanks! I have parted

so great an interest in me?"

answered with a bobbing courtesy, II

out another word, she turned and went
away.
When I looked back, Belin was
smoothing the plumes In his hat. and
laughing. ''I heard every word, d'Au-
riac. So Ravaillac is a mouchard, is

he muttered to himself, tapping the
point of his boot with the end of his
sheathed rapier, and then looking up,
said slowly: you were right, and he
shall sleep in Fort PEveque tonight;
no, I cannot stay. Be punctual-and
see here" He came close up to me,
and rested his hand on my shoulder
Though you do not know it, your

no more madness such as that over

adieu. No, can go out by myself; do
not trouble to come down.
He was gone, and I paced up and
down for quarter Of an hour, feeling
like a pawn that some unseen hand
was moving hitler and thither on the
chess board Of intrigue. And then I
went to my solitary dinner at the Two
Ecus.
