FORAKER, MORGAN AND DAVIS
APPOINTED.
Morgan's Annexation Bill-Islands TO
Be Under Stars and Stripes March
4, 1s9S-China and Portugal Willing
MORGAN'S BID.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Morgan today introduced bill for the
annexation of the Hawaiian islands.
The bill provides that the islahds
shall become a Territory of the Unit
ed States in accordance with the terms
of the recently negotiated treaty. The
date set for the extension of the
laws of this country over the islands
is the 4th of March, 1898, but it is
specifically provided that they may
be put in force at an earlier day if
Congress so directs.
Senator Morgan said that his bill
was intended to carry the annexation
treaty into execution in case it should
be ratified by the Senate, or to pro-
vide for it's ratification by the joint
action of the two houses in case the
Senate should refuse to act.

OFFERED DEPUTY INSPECTOR
GENERALSHIP.
The Principal of the Wimea School
Wants More Time to Consider-Mr.
Scott to Get Plum.

The position of deputy inspector
general of Schools has been offered to
T. IL. Scott, principal of the Govern
meDt .Schopi az Waiamea, kahai.
1t is not known positively whether
Mr.. Gibson will accept. He has writ
ten to the Board of Education request
ing more time in which TO consider
the matter. This the commissioners
have granted him. A definite answer
is expected from Mr.. Gibson prior to
the regular board meeting next week.
The friends of Mr.. Gibson are urg-
ing him to take the job, but it is just
possible that he will refuse to give up
his warm attachments at Waimea.
Should his answer be in the negative,
it is said that the claims of lady
teaching in the Honolulu schools will
be considered.
John F. Scott, the retiring deputy
inspector general will be given a very
acceptable appointment, it is said, un-
der the Educational Bureau. He will
probably be made principal of one of
the important schools.

sELE.uLpoSED MISSION.

At special session held after
the prayer meeting at the Methodist
Church last evening, resolution was
unanimously passed to the effect that
the local congregation had in no way
authorized anyone to attend the Cali
fornia Conference in their interests.
This resolution was sent this morning
to DR.. NJ. c. Harris, presiding elder.
It's object is distinctly to let the pre-
siding elder know that c. V. Sturde-
want in no sense represents the local
church. Mr.. Sturdevant's self imposed
mission is evidently very distasteful
to the Methodists of Honolulu.

SERIOUS FIRE IN MAUNAKEA ST.
THIS MORNING.
Four House Burned--Foreman Clark
Meets With Dangerous Accident
While Bravely Doing His Duty.

The fire whistle at 3:45 this morn
ing took the department to the mauka
side of Manuakea street above Pauahi,
one of the densest sections of the
city. Captain Renken of the mounted
patrol and a couple of pohcemen were
the first persons on the scene. They
found flames rising from the rear of
a two-story wooden block and direct
ly in rear of a japanese ice cream sa-
loon. Overhead was succession of
lodging-houses. On either side, in the
same and an adjoining block to the
right, were a Chinese store, laundry,
the ice cream parlors spoken of and
carpenter shop.
When Renken saw the fire it had at
tanned such proportions that the block
was doomed. His work was to get
dodgers out of the house, assisting the
fire department. In the meantime
Nos. ], 2 and 3 engines and the chemi-
cal machine began a terrific battle
against the fierce flames. The entire
street on that side is a solid continu-
alton of wooden shells, which burned
like tinder. Streams of water were
turned from every side upon the burn
ing block and adjoining houses. liter
an hours work the flames were sub
dued.
Mahi, an old native, owned the de-
stroyed block. Hiss loss is complete.
A house occupied by Mahi, just in
rear of the block, was also damaged
considerably by the flames and water.
The block on the right, owned by Mrs.
Waterbury, was damaged about 800.
A Chinese store in that block was left
complete wreck. Loss, 5000. The re-
mainder of the personal property de-

At the most serious stage of the
fire, John Clark, senior foreman of en-
gine No. 2, ascended the stairs in rear
of the burning block. The supports
of the landing had been burned away,
ana Wnen the foreman reached the
platform it gave way and went down
with loud crash. Immediately be-
low water tap stood up about six
feet above the ground. 1T was poor
Clark's luck to fall astride of the top
of this. The sharp point entered the
body in front of the pelvis and pene-
trated upward, infiicting serious in
ternal injuries and laying the bowels
opeI:, Clarl<'s comrades rushed to his
assistance, and saved him from an inn
mediate death by fire. He was prompt
ly removed to the hospital, where he
is lying in very preearious condition.
The, fire is believed to have been Of
incendiary origin.

SUBCOMMITTEE.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The Ha-
waiian annexation treaty formed the
principal topic of consideration by the
Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions at its brief session today. The
treaty and accompanying papers were
read and referred to subcommittee
consisting of Senators Foraker, Davis,
and Morgan, with instructions to in
vestigate the entire question and re-
port to the full committee. The pa
pers read included the protest made
document did not call out much COM
ment, but all that was said was of
character to indicate that the mem
bers of the committee did not regard
st as likely to lead to serious compli-
cations, though rcaaiting z.hes; mos
respectful consideration. IN -.
The subcommittee will consider all
the complications lil<ely2to-grow out
of annexation. including sAose refer
ring to the trade relations Of the ISL
and. ,,Thisiwill involve a study of all
of Hawaii's treaties with other coun-
tries. The inquiry will require con-
siderable time, and no effort will be
made by the full committee to take
the subject up until the sub-commit-
tee shall be able to report on all the
Nha - 4. 4
has led the members of the committee
to conclude that it is improbable that
Nihe committee as a whole will be able
10 pass upon the subject during the
present session. The complexion of
the committee is believed to be eight
for ratification and three against il.
There is possibility that the number
of those in favor of it may be increa1-
ed to nine.
TILL DECEMBER
1t may be stated as extremely prob
able that the matter will be held in
allegiance by the subcommittee until
Congress convenes in regular session
next December, for the double pur-
pose of permitting the committee to
make its investigation as thor,ugh as
possible and to permit the Executive
to exert its best efforts through the
use of diplomacy to persuade Japan
of the unwisdom of her course. Tt is
understood in this connection that
this delay is in accordance with the
wishes of the Administration as w.
mated to members of the Senate.
The opinion was express in t'c
committee that document of the
character of that filed by Japan
would, if presented by a nation more
nearly the equal of the United States,
lead to very serious difficulties, but
there is general desire to extend
unusual consideration toward the
Asiatic state, not only because of the
uniformly friendly relations existing
between that country and this, but
also because it is felt that Japan's sue
cess in her war with China may have
had the effect of arousing spirit Of
combativeness which is not warranted
in the opinion of the members of the
committee by her relative size and inn
portance as compared with the United
States.

stain Removing Remedies.

Various remedies, oftentimes trouble
some to apply, are now recommended
for removing fruit and grass stains.
1t is agreeable to be assured that as
general rule it is safe to plan to try
the effect of pure water upon stain
before using chemicals. Most fruit
stains, for example, can be easily re-
moved by boiling the stained portion
over vessel and pouring boiling water
directly through it. This is much
better method than soaking the ar
ticle, as it prevents the stain from
spreading. Another way is to rub the
stain with alcohol before putting it
into water, and still another is to ap-
ply a little salts of lemon, letting it
stand for few hours, when it should
be washed off in clear water. This, by
the way, is an excellent recipe for the
removal of ink spots, though in all
cases the stain will yield more readily
to treatment If it be taken in hand as
soon as it is made. Grass stains may
be removed by rubbing with alcohol.
and iron rust by immersion in hot
solution of oxalic acid, followed by
rinsing in ammonia water.
