Numerous Complications in Store for

Demand for Small Notes.

WASHINGTON. July 14.-There are I'M
expected complications in store for the
treaty of annexation of Hawaii. AL
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-
wall, 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 undoubt effect of this amend
ment, if adopted, would be to change
the votes of many senators who are
now counted upon as favoring annexa-
ton. There is no change in the gen.
eral disposition to delay consideration
of the treaty until the regular session
next winter.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-''It is my in
tention to start Wednesday for Du-
luth," said Lieutenant Commander j.
M. Hawley, United States navy, for
the purpose of esta blishing a rendez-
vous where seamen may be enlisted
for the American navy. Probably
week or ten days will be required to
put things in shape at Duluth, after
which l will go to Chicago ON the same
errand. There is a demand for able
bodied seamen, and the experiment is
to be tried for the first time in the
west with a view to getting some of
the stalwart sailors of the lakes for
service with Uncle Sam. We will be
willing to enlist 500 men if that mum Der
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 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 bill in
case a commission should be recon-
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. Mr.
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-
su1ar officers. The thanks of the
United States will be given Great Brit
ain for the services rendered by the
Intrepid.
Judge Kngores Successor.
WASHINGTON, July LIT is practi-
cally settled that II. 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 Kilgores 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 a candidate for
the judgeship in opposition to Town
send, will be clerk of the court.
Demand for Small Notes.
WASHINGTON. July i4.-The treasury
department yesterday received de-
mand from St. Louis for small notes of
81, So and SIS, to. move the crops, the
first demand made so far this season.
All the small notes in the st. Louis
sub treasury were exhausted last Sat
urday. The treasury here is short of
notes of small denominations, but a
