WASHINGTON, July 14.-There are un- expected complications in store for the treaty of annexation of Hawaii. All though he has not himself announced his position, Senator Turpie, of In- diana, has been counted upon as an ar dent friend of annexation. The Indi- ana senator, it is now said, has pre- pared an amendment to the treaty, extending to all the citizens of Ha- waii, after annexation, the same rights of citizenship as are enjoyed by citizens of the United States This aimed to include Kanakas and the various mixtures of Hottentots with which the islands are peopled. This amendment is in line with the provisions of the treaty by which Arizona and New Mexico came into the territory of the United States. The undoubted effect of this amend ment, if adopted, would be to change the votes of many senators who are now counted upon as favoring annexa~ tion. There is no change in the gem eral disposition to delay consideration of the treaty until the regular session next winter.
 Americanizing the Navy.
 WASHINGTON, July 14.-"It is my in- tention to start Wednesday for Du- luth," said Lieutenant Commander J. M. Hawley, United States navy, flor the purpose of establishing rendez- vous where seamen may be enlisted for the American navy. Probably a week or ten days will be required to put things in shape at Duluth, after which I will go to Chicago on the same errand. There is demand for able bodied seamen, and the experiment. is to be tried for the first time in the west with view to getting some of the stalwart sailors of the lakes for service with Uncle Sam. We will be willing to enlist 300 men if that number can be found who are physically quail flied for service in the United States navy.
 The Currency Commission.
 WAsHINGToN, July 14.-Representa- tive Heatwole, of Minnesota who, in the last and present Congresses intro duced a bill for a currency commits sion, has been consulting with mem bers of the committee on rules and other leaders of the house as to special order for considering a bill in case a commission should be recom- mended by the president. The late ness of the session and the poor pros poets of any action in the senate do not, Mr. Heatwole thinks give much encouragement for believing that any financial plan will be considered in the house until next session. The feeling in the house seems to be that if the tariff bill is out of the way little or no other business will be transacted at this session.
 Aided by a British Ship.
 WASHINGTON, July 14-Mr. Little, the United States consul at Tegucigal- pa, Honduras, says that the British ship Intrepid Capt. Burr, materially aided" the United States consular agents at San Pedro and Puerto Cort in their efforts to protect the lives and property of American citizens during the recent Honduras rebellion. MT. Little, in a letter on the subject re- ceived at the state department, says that prompt and firm support" was given by Capt. Burr to the two con sular officers. The thanks of the United States will be given Great Brit ain for the services rendered by the Intrepid.
 Judge Kngore's Successor.
 WASHINGTON, July 14-It is practi- cally settled that H. Townsend, of Col orado, is to be appointed United States judge for the Indian territory, with headquarters at Purcell. This is in the district over which Judge Kilgore now presides. Judge Kilgore's term has still some time to run. but the president has decided to call for the resignation of both Judges Kilgore and Springer. The appointment for the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Springer will go in later. c. w. Campbell, who was candidate for the judgeship in opposition to Town send, will be clerk of the court.
