Majority for Conviction.
LIBERTY, Mo-. June l2.-The jurors
before whom William S. Foley was
tried at Liberty for the killing of his
aged mother, Mrs. Eliza bsth S. Foley,
on November II, 1896, disagreed and
were discharged by Judge Broaddus at
$50 yesterday afternoon, after being
out twenty three hours. The disagree
ment had been expected. They stood
to for conviction.
1t is the intention of Prosecuting At
torney Woodson to keep Foley in jail
at Liberty until the Move mber term of
the circuit court of Clay county at
Liberty, and to then put him on trial
for the murder of his sister, Miss Fan
ME Foley.
There was some talk at Liberty last
night of lynching Foley, but the bet
ter class of citizens advised against it,
saying that Foley was still in the GUS
tody of the officers of the law and that
his next trial might result in con-
viction.
Foley was much encouraged by the
disagreement and says he confidently
expects acquittal in Novem ber

STOPPED BY POLICE
Maher- Sharkey Fight Ends in Draw
In the Seventh Round.

New YORK, June 1l.-Petcr Maher
and Tom Sharkey fought last night at
the Palace Athletic club for SIS, 900
purse. At the end of the seventh
round the police interfered and the
contest resulted in most unsatisfac-
tory draw. Never in the history of
the ring has there been such an enor-
nous attendance at boxing bout in
this vicinity. There were about TO-
300 persons squeezed into the big
building at One Hundred and Seventh
street and Lexington avenue.
The relative merits of the men is
just as much of puzzle as ever, and
until they meet again and get a def
mite decision their adherents will not
be satisfied. 1t was said that over
$40 600 was taken in at the box office,
and Judging from the number of peo-
Pile in the house, this was very con-
servative estimate.

TO ANNEX HAWAII.
The President VIII submit MESSAGE
to Congress on the Matter.

to Congress on the Matter.
CHICAGO, June IA Washington
dispatch to the Daily News says; A
convention is on foot looking to the
annexation of the republic of Hawaii
TO the United States as n territory,
and the details of the plan are so
nearly complete as to warrant the be-
lief that they will soon be submitted
to Congress.
The articles of convention of the
proposed scheme of annexation arc
interesting. Hawaii is to become
territory of the United States, ceding
all her ports and crown lands in ex-
change for protection. She is to he
known in the galaxy as the territory
of Hawaii. The United States, it is
proposed, shall assume the debt of the
Hawaiian republic to the limit of S4,-
900, 000
Friends of annexation in Washing
ton declare that the President will
submit message to Congress on the
subject before the adjournment of the
present session. There is the highest
authority for the statement that Ha-
waiian annexation is one of the settled
features of President McKinleys for
eign policy.
The effect of excluding from citizen
ship in the United States the Asiatic
population is considered the most SER
ious feature of the proposed anne xa-
ton. If adhered to, in the opinion of
many public men here, it would lead
to straining of diplomatic relations
with China and Japan.

land, Ore.-A Full Confession.
ASHLAND, Ore, June 11.-Bates
Soper, of Ashland, who murdered
his wife and two children at
Archie, Cass county, Mo-, six years
ago and escaped, has been arrest
ed here and is in Jail. He has
made full confession of the crime.
Soper was a butcher, of quarrelsome
disposition, aud somewhat eccentric.
He slew his family with a butcher
knife, and, although closely pursued,
got away. Various reports as to his
whereabouts were circulated at differ
ent times, but he was never definitely
located until he was arrested here to-
day.
The absence of any known motive
for the crime led many Cass county
people to believe that Soper was crazy,
but his confession proves the incor-
rectness of that theory.

MUST SERVE UNCLE SAM.
Secretary Long Declines to Permit Ma
val Cadets to Resign.


WASHINGTON, June For the first
time in many years the secretary Of
the navy has interposed his veto upon
the application of u junior officer to
leave the naval service. In the pres
ent case three of the cadets ut An
polis-George Weber of Arkansas,
II. l., Collins of Pennsylvania and L. /.
Pratt of Illinois-sought to resign.
They had completed four years serv-
ice at the academy, the last year be-
ing devoted to the engineering branch,
and desired to leave to engage in
private business,
Secretary Long, however, found
that the engineer corps was badly in
need of officers, owing to the rapid
depletion of the ranks of the older en-
gineers in late years, and he decided
that as these young men had been ed
ucated at the expense of the govern
ment they should render service in
return. The cadets upon admission
to the academy are required to pledge
themselves to serve the government
not less than eight years, so these men
now will be obliged to take the usual
two years cruise, which rounds out
the Annapolis course, at the end of
which time they will receive their
commissions as assistant engineers in
the navy and as regularly assigned to
dnty.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The Repub-
lican members of the finance COM
mittee will withdraw the amendments
for an additional tax on beer and for
the duty of ten cents a pound on tea.
The question of revenue is giving the
committee considerable concern and if
there should be withdrawal of the
increases on tobacco as we'll as those
on beer and tea the bill would not
meet the needs of the government as
re venue producer. For this reason
it has been practically determined to
make bank check stamp tax.
The Senate had a period of tariff
speeches yesterday, and as a result
little progress was made on the bill.
WASHINGTON, June 9.--By the de-
cisive vote of AZ to 10, the Senate yes
terday adopted an amendment to the
tariff bill placing raw cotton, the
great product of the South, on the du-
table list at 20 per cent ad valorem.
It is the first time in the history of
tariff legislation that duty on cotton
has been Incorporated in bill. The
amendment was proposed by Mr.. Ba-
con, Democrat, of Georgia, on his in
dividual responsibility, and without
the approval of the finance committee,
which thus far has been requisite to
the success of every amendment, eX-
cept minor one which went through
by default.
The amendment led to spirited de-
bate, Democratic Senators disclosing a
wide difference of views and at times
exchanging sharp personal criticisms.
On the final vote, six Democrats, Bacon
and Clay, of Georgia; McEnery of
Louisiana: McLaurin and Tillman of
South Carolina, and Rawlins. of Utah,
voted with the Republicans for the
Bacon amendment, while the negative
vote was solidly Democratic, with one
exception, Kyle, Populist.
WASHINGTON, June S.-The Senate
yesterday disposed of the lumber par
agraph, which has been more stub
bornly contested than any feature of
the bill thus far, by defeating the mo-
ton of Senator Vest to place white
pine on the free list-yeas 20, nays 3s.
The contest was mainly significant in
breaking party lines, which have been
maintained with few exceptions dur
ing the early stages of the debate.
On the final vote, eight Democratic
Senators voted against Mr.. Vests
proposition; namely, Messrs. Bacon
and Clay of Georgia, Nc Emery of Louis
lana, McLaurin and Tillman of South
Carolina, Martin of Virginia, Rawlins
of Utah and White of California On
the other hand, Mr.. Carter, Republic
an, and Messrs. Cannon and Mantel,
Silver Republicans, voted for the Vest
motion. Following this, vote to SUBJ
stitute the Wilson lumber schedule
was defeated-17 to 37-and the sched-
ule was agreed to as reported. The
debate preceding the vote was at times
very breezy, owing to the break OF
political lines.
