hHrz appeared penitent in court and
promised to pay Fanny IA weekly amount
until the debt is wiped out, and To marry
her if she was willing. Upon those con-
uitions he was paroled.
The other complainant was Francis
Bartel. He claimed that he had been en-

TENNEY CHILDREN.
Question as TO Where They Should
Reside Before the Court.
Father Has Begun an Action for Divorce
Against Mother.

Judge Stiness who sat at the hearing Of
tho motion calendar in the Appellate
division this morning had one rather diff
cult ease TO pass upon. The chief question
raised In the case was whether the children
of Alfred Il. Tenney, Jr., and Clara L.
Tenncy should reside ut the home of their
maternal grandparents or their paternal
grandparents. Mrs. Tenney few weeks
ago fiied "a petition for divorce on the
grounds OF non-support and extreme
cruelty. The separation of the parties
which Immediately preceded the filing Of
the petition Of the divorce was an ex.
trenely dramatic one, according 10 the
statement of counsel
Mrs. Tenney, when called to testify this
morning said that she desired the custody
of her two children and that she could
keep them atsher fathers house. One Of
tie Children, she said, was four years old
ana the other a year and nine months
Mr. Tcnney, the father of the respondent
said that his daughter n-aw told him she
did not want 10 leave the children at her
fathers home as she did not want them
banged" around and hardly treated as
she herself had been. She suggested the
children be sent 10 the Tobey street home.
Miss Tenney, "a sister of the respondent,
said that the children were in bad condi-
tlon when they came TO her house. Mr..
Ienney, the respondent, testified that dur
ing their married life Mrs. Tenney did not
take proper care of her children and fire.
quently left them alone in the house He
declared he never drove his wife from his
home
Mrs. Tenney denied having neglected her
children or making any statements that
her father house was not suitable place
To take her children To live. The court
would not permit answers being given to
certain questions asked by counsel on both
sides rs they would have too much en-
larged the scope Of the hearing.
After John L. Blodgett in behalf of Mr..
Tenney and H. d. Bassett i'm behalf OF
Mrs Ienney made brief arguments, Judge
Stiness refused TO make an order in the
ease. Afterward counsel agreed that
Mr., Tenney should pay his wife S. week
and the children should remain in the
custody of his parents until the divorce
was heard. The parties 10 the divorce are
residents of pawtucket.

the most pleasing features of the present
session of the Legislature, and one of its
unprecedented features as well, is the fact
that in matters of legislation the farmers
and the miners are working together in
harmony. For years the Democratic party
has been promising with one face that it
would create such legislation as would en-
able hydraulic miners to proceed with
their work. and with the other face it has
been promising the farmers that hydraulic
mining should not be resumed unless the
miners would go to the enormous expense
of building solid dams to keep the detrltus
from being washed down into the rivers
1t remained tor the brain and the genius
of the Republican party to evolve from
amidst the confusion of those two jarring
interests plan which has now united the
interests of the miner and the farmer.
That plan has been perfected and has as
sumed tangible shape in bills now before
the Legislature.

The Pre- resident-elect unwittingly gave it
all away, however. He was standing in
the hall when Mr.. SearIes came up the
steps, and the front door was open.
Nearly all arrivals are shown into the
library first, where they register and give
their cards to Secretary Cooper. Major
Mckinley, however, recognized his visitor
by sight and did not wait for an introduc-
ton. Whether he knew he was coming
cannot be ascertained.
What Mr.. Searles came to Canton for is
much of a mystery. The President-elect
has said that he does not know Mr.. Sesrles'
initials, and Mr.. Searles' only explanation
of his visit, in reply to the usual question
put to callers at the Mckinley house, was
that he came on social call.
1t is generally believed that the Presi-
dent-elect knew he was entertaining the
secretary of the sugar trust, but that he
did not know he was in contempt of court
at the time. The most plausible explana-
ton of the visit is that he was looking up
the question of tariff legislation, and
that Friday was considered most conven-
lent for him, although it was embarrass-
ingtto Mr.. Lexow.
1t is regarded here as doubtful whether
the matter is brought up to Albany on ac-
count of the un just criticism to which it
might subject the President-elect.

Since he was a lad emerging from boy
hood it has been known that he was sub

however, and were supposed, after the
closest medical diagnosis, TO be likely to
disappear as his physique strengthened.
The seizures, which in his early life took
place about every four months be-

epileptic. but they were never particularly
trying to his constitution until after he
became burdened with the work and

During the last year he has had pro-

which he extols in the highest manner

course of mis- article to the question of the
annexation of Hawaii to this country.
Colonel Palmer says annexation is now
dead forever.
For there is no escape" he writes,
from one of two positions. First. the
10, 600 native voters now disfranchised by
a minority, that by official statistics in
1893 numb bered 637, will be allowed to re-
sumo suffrage. In this case they might
vote for one of their own chiefs Of their
nation, but they will certainly vote
against annexing their country to any
other land.
'Second, the 10, 900 native voters would
be still denied the right of expression of
their rights at the ballot-box. They will
be held down by manacle and musket as
they are to-day. l have seen noble speci-
mems of Hawaiian manhood laboring on
the roads carrying a ball and chain for no
other reason than their own loyalty to
LiIiuokalani. If this course is pursued the
American people, under whatever party
will never admit them to this great and
glorious Union, simply on the vote of
their oppressors, because these latter wish
to be relieved of the consequences of their
own rebellion and folly
