SECRET CALL ISSUED
Hawaiian Congress Called to Meet
). in Special Session.
WILL CONSIDER ANNEXATION
Minister Hatch Carries Adyices
From President Mckinley.
SPECIAL SESSION HERE

SAN FRANCISCO. September 1.-The
steamer Australia from Honolulu direct
arrived with the following political ad-
vices:
Francis NJ. Hatch, minister to Washing
ton, arrived August 20 with special infor-
nation which will require the attention of
both government and senate, and a secret
notice has already been issued to the MEM
bers of the latter body calling upon them
to meet in extra session September 6 to
consider the question. Meanwhile Minister
Hatch is in almost constant consultation
with President Dole and his cabinet.
To Rutify Annexation.
The lawmakers will be asked to ra;ify the
annexation treaty recently signed in Wash
ington, and as a majority of the members
favor annexation, the matter will be rushed
through. The reason for the extra ses-
sion is a matter of conjecture, and much
curiosity is evinced.
A senator Is authority for the statement
that Minister Hatch brought word from
President Mckinley that he was resolved to
call Congress two months earlier than
usual for the purpose OF disposing Of the
treaty before the regular session, and this
theory appears to find favor with other
senators.
Another matter to be considered by the
Hawaiian senate is that Of rendering as
sistance to the executive in rnraveling the
japanese muddle, as 1t is said that Japan's
acceptance of the offer of arbitration is so
vague that the president and his cabinet
are in & quandary.
Runners Of Split In Cabinet.
There are rumors of a split in the CAPT
ret over the question, and it is said that
the Intervention of the senate is required
to prevent an open rupture.
The Hawaiian Star-created a sensa ton
by the publication of a scheme alleging
to have been backed by the sugar trust to
clock annexation.

DRAGGING THE RIVER.

RnflY.

Search Begun for Young Burlin gnme's
Body.
Harbormaster Sutton will take the police
boat Nigilant today to Sandy Point to drag
for The body of young Fred. Burlingame,
who was drowned in that part of the river
Monday night. as reported exclusively in
yesterdays Star. This arrangement was
made with the harbormaster upon the ar
rival of Mr.. Burlirgame. ST., in this city
last nightGr
The accident was peculiarly said affair
The boy had been saved once from drown
ing byihis father, and the latter had. as he
thought. confided his boy to two men who
were with him at the time the boat cap
sized. The roar of the storm, however,
prevented the men from hearing Mr.. Bur-
lingame's voice, and when he left the boy
on thu upturned boat the little fellow, ex-
hausted with his previous struggle in the
water, was not able to maintain his hold
unaid9d, and slipped off the hull into the
water, unknown to his companions.
The tparIy was made up of MIR. Burlin-
game. fRis ipn Fred and two guests, Messrs.
LOTUS and Roote. They embarked on the
schooner William Washington d week ago
Saturday night for a trip down the river,
and everything went well until Monday
| night They we're making the return trip,
and while IN the broad stretch of the river
just below Indian Head noticed sQuall
coming up. Everything was made ready,
and all went below except Mr.. Burlinsame.
AS soon as the latter saw that the storm
would be of unusual fury he called to those
below TO come up on deck, and they had
| just emerged from the cabin when gust
of terrific strength sent the boat over.
Messrs LOTUS and Roote caught some
ropes and speedily regained the hull Of the
| boat, floating bottom upward. Mr..
BurlingaIne and ms son were thrown into
the river, but the former was an excellent
| swimmer and had no difficulty in saving
| his son and carrying him to the boat. He
called to the men on the hull to take care
of his boy, and in the noise of the storm
thought he heard them say 'All right
They did not hear him, however and, as
stated above, young Burlinsame was un-
able to maintain his hold unaided, and
slipped off into the water MIR. Burlin-
game, after leaving his son, as he sup
posed, in safe hands, swan around to the
stern of the boat to secure the yawl, which
| he did after some difficulty. Coming back
| to the boat he asked for his hoy, and was
told that he had not been seen.
Mr.. Rurlingame and his friends used the
yawl and got to land, returning to this
| city last night, when the arrangements
with the harbormaster to drag for the body
were made.

Boroughs Committee, Citizens Onion,
dominates Seth Low for Mayor.
INTEREST IN MEETING THIS EVENING
Two Factions in the Citizens Union
on the Nomination.
MEETING AT ASTOR HOUSE

NEW YORK, September 1.-The Boroughs
committee of the Citizens Union has nomi-
mated Seth Low for mayor of Greater
New York.
Apparently the fate of President Seth
Lows boom for the mayoralty of the
Greater New York depends upon the action
this evening of the New York Citizens
Union. This organization was the first and
has remained the most constant and III
sistent advocate of Mr.. Low for the chief
executive of the consolidated municipality.
The plan as announced by the execu-
tive committee of the union to formally
place Mr.. Low in nomination this evening
is opposed by the Brooklyn committee of
fifty, at the head of which is Jackson Wal
lace, Mr.. Lows legal and GeputeO pohtf-
cal adviser, upon the ground that such a
course would defeat the avowed purpose
of the Citizens Union. which is the COM
bination of all the anti-Tammany forces
in the territory which will be embraced
in the Greater New York, which Is to come
into existence January /, 1893.
Position of the Opposition.
The Brooklyn Fifty's opposition is based
upon the attitude which has been main
tanned throughout by the regular republi-
can organization of this city; that this
latter body shall not be placed in the posi-
ton of accepting the dictation of any as
ISOLATION or body of men, such as would be
implied by the formal nomination OF a
candidate for mayor prior to the assembling
of the republican convention
The republican managers ultimatum TO
the effect indicated has not as yet resulted
in altering the determination of the Citl-
Zens' Union to proceed to nomination at
tonight's meeting.
Mention of Mayor Strong as possible
candidate has elected from that gentleman
an emphatic disclaimer of desire for the
office, coupled with an expression of favor
for President Low, provided his Citizens
Union friends 10 not make it impossible
for the republican organization to accept
his candidacy.
Congressman Quigg. chairman of the re-
publican county committee, Is mentioned
as a possible nominee for mayor In the
event of the Citizens Union persisting in
nominating Mr.. Low in advance of the
calling of the republican convention.
Anti-Tammany Gathering.
conference was held at the Astor
House today. with view to uniting va
rious elements of the republican party
and Independent political organizations in
opposition to the regular or Tamnany de-
mocracy. There were present representa-
tives of the republican county committee,
the BrookfielG republicans. the Brooklyn
committee of fifty, the Home Rule democ-
racy and the Independence Hall democracy.
After the conference had begun behind
closed doors two of the three representa-
tiyes of the Brooklyn committee of fifty
left, explaining to the reporters that they

as bearers of a message from the confer
ees. The Citizens Union was not repre-
sented at the Aston House conference.

SENATOR HANNA,s PROPOSITION.
His Agent Offers to Pay CT Cents
Pending Strike Arbitration.

Pending Strike Arbitration.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, September 1.-The
proposition to settle the soft coal strike
has emanated from Senator NJ. A. Hanna
The negotiations have been conducted be-
tween Mr.. Hannas manager and confiden-
tial agent. Mr.. T. s. Young, and President
Ratchford.
Mr.. Hannas terms are that the miners
shall return. 20 work a basis of 81 cents
a ton pending the settlement of the con-
troversy. A boz rd of arbitration to be ap-
pointed by the mine workers and the ope-
rators will be asked to decide upon a scale
OF wages. which shall not be lower than
ca cents per ton nor higher than 80 cents.
A few of the Pittsburg operators with
headquarters here met secretly yesterday
afternoon to talk over the plan presented
by the Hanna interest. 1t was decided that
nothing could be done until the miners
acted upon the proposition.
Mr.. Ratchford mas informed Mr. Young
that a conference of the executive COM
mittee~ of the united mine workers would
be held tonight at Columbus to take &C
ton on the proposition. Operators here
now fully realize that the strike means a
great deal more to the welfare of the coun-
try than to the interests Of themselves
alone.
They see the prospects of large Industries
shutting down, throwing many thousands
of men out of employment, and they do
rot relish the thought of themselves being
held responsible for business stagnation.

The superintendent of the bathing beach,

at the beach would be exhausted this week.
He said the force of employees would be
willing to work and take their chance OF
getting their money appropriated by Con-

missioners would agree to do so.
The beach has been unusually popular
this year: and over fifty per cent increase
has been recorded in the number of bath
ers. There has been but one casualty
among over 10000 bathers.
That would have never occurred If the
