Meanwhile a messenger was sent to Governor Johnston and he at once ordered Colonel Foster of the Second regiment to send troop to the scene. The order was executed and the company started to Carrollton last night, but did not reach there until af- ter the lynching had occurred

OPPOSED TO ANNEXATION
MR. STOREY,S ADDRESS BEFORE MESSAGE USETTS REFORM CLUE.

Present Government in Hawaii is in
 Power Simply Through a Revolutionary
 Act Which Depended for Success on the
 Support Offered by American Bayonets-
 Words Greeted With Applause.
 Boston, Nov. 12.-The Hawaiian ques- tion was discussed at the dinner of the Massachusetts Reform club at Youngs tonight. There were about one hun dred members present and Edward At kinson presided. The speakers were Captain Julius A. Palmer, formerly sec retary to Queen Lilioukalani, and Hon. Moorf1eld Storey, who spoke in oppos1- tion to annexation, and Professor c. N. Ellis of Harvard university and Gorham D. Gilman, former consul general of Hawaii in favor of it.
 MT. Palmer said: "We do not want that harbor. It is of no use. Now I would like my naval friends to explain what they call stragetic independence. I can see how if we were at war with Spain how the Azores would be an ad- vantage to us. The Hawaiian islands should be neutral ground. They are neutral ground at this moment for great nations. Now if we propose to assume control in Hawaii we should invite all the great powers. We want them not to teach land getting, but to teach the principles of the Christian religion" "
 MT Storey said: "The present gov ernment in Hawaii is in power simply 4l pt JS-hi pended for success on the support of- fered by American bayonets. So far no vote has been cast in the matter. We have no right to steal it. It is said we need the islands in case of war. But defy any one to tell what nation threatens us in this war. The states men who now threaten our peace are not of foreign governments. (Great ap- plause). The preachers of war are all to be found under the dome of our own capitol.
 If we take these islands we shall have to begin by sending enormous sums for Qualifications. I think the opinion of a naval officer on the subject expresses the situation. He said to me: If we do not have the Sandwich Islands, and we have a big fleet we can take them; if we have them and no fleet, we can't keep them.' The citizens of Hawaii are not fit to be ad- mitted to citizenship of the United States Annexation means introducing into our body polite and corrupting element, it means enormous expense. It is a crime for us to consider it."
 Professor Ellis said: q do not be- lieve either that the Sandwich Islands are governed by a lot of unmitigated liars nor do I believe that the United States is governed by a set of scoun- drels." The speaker drew picture of the inhabitants of the islands and said their discovery was by Captain Cook in the last century, saying under the re- gime of the whites entirely, the present government the condition of the in- habitants is better than it ever was. The discussion was closed by MT. Gill man, who took the ground that there was but one solution of the Hawaiian question, and that is the annexation of the islands.

D1s1NnERIrANcE NOT THE CAUSE.
Engagement of George M. Pullman and
 Miss Oglesby Broken.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-Formal announce ment is made of the breaking of the engagement of MT. George M. Pullman and Miss Felicite Oglesby. The news of Miss Oglesbys engagement to one of the Pullman twins came as a great sur prise to the friends of the young people over two years ago, and the rumors concerning the date of the wedding have been countless since that time. When the death of Mr. Pullman, ST., startled the city a short time ago Miss Oglesby was at the home of her parents at Elkhart Ill.
 For the past week or two the young lady has been in Chicago, guest of Mrs. Pullman part of the time. Miss Oglesby has just returned to Elkhart, and simultaneous with her departure comes the announcement that Mr. Pull man had proposed to release her, and that she had accepted the offer. Friends of the Oglesby family are stout in their declarations that the disinheritance of the young man had nothing whatever to do with the rupture of the betrothal vows

SOUTH AMERICAN DREIBUND.
Chill, Peru and Argentine Named as the
 Members.

Members.
 Washington, Nov. i2.-Cabled reports from Valparaiso of the existence of plan for a dreibund of Chilli, Peru and Argentine, with the purpose of seizing and dividing Bolivia, attracted consid- erable attention in diplomatic circles here to-day. One of the diplomats, who should know if any such scheme were in contemplation, pronounced baseless the idea of an alliance between Chili, Peru and Argentine for the division of the territory of Bolivia. Argentine it is pointed out has absolutely nothing at stake in the pending difficulties be- tween Peru, Bolivia and Chili over the boundary lines, and so far as is known here there never has been a suggestion for the absorption of Bolivia by Chili and Peru.
 The pending negotiations between these three latter countries for the defi- nite location of their boundary lines grew out of the old war between Peru and Bolivia on one hand and Chili on the other. At the Gillian legation a peaceful solution of the difficulty is ex- pected. The journey of the Chilian min ister to Bolivia, Senor Solinas, to San tiago, is explained on the probable the ory that the government desires to con- fer with him in person relating to the negotiations he is conducting. It is not believed here that it means the with draWal of the minister and the sever ance of diplomatic relations with Bo- liVia.

 Order "Hands Up.o

Order "Hands Up."

Q. Doyle on West Bridge street about 7:45 D. m., and with drawn revolvers order ed those present to throw up their hands. At the time there were in the saloon MT Doyle, his barkeeper James Ash, and Thomas Baggs.

 MiChaeIs,

Chicago, Nov. 12.-Eddie McDufie, the crack eastern cyclist, was badly hurt in his match with Jimmy Michael at the Colieum tonight.

PLAN OF THE CANADIANS
WILL ASK COUNTER CONCESSION FOR PROTECTION OF FISRERIES.

This for the Giving of Their Consent to
 Any Alteration of the Sealing Regula-
 tions-Their Exact Position in the Mat
 ter-Propositions Differ but May be
 Reconciled.
 Washington, Nov. 12-It is stated upon good authority that the Canadians will ask counter concession from this country in the way of guarantee for the protection of the northern fisheries ing regulations to which they may give their consent. They take the position that the fish along the Canadian and New Foundland coasts are as much the property of Canada as are the seals on the Pribyloff Island the property of the United States; and they contend that they have as much right to make de- mands for the protection of the fish against American fishermen as we have to ask the Canadians to agree to fur ther restrictions in the matter of killing seals.
 Their specific complaint is that while Canadian laws prohibit fishing except within certain seasons, the American laws do not impose corresponding con- ditions, and that while taking of the fish can be prohibited during the closed seasons within their territory it cannot be controlled outside of the boundaries. Many of the fish which properly belong to the Canadians are thus picked out of season by American fisherman. Sir Wilfrid will ask the United States to agree to the protection of these fish during the breeding season, as an off, set for any seal concession to which Canada may consent.
 During to-day's conference series of propositions was presented by the American representatives covering the number and habits of the seals and the extent to which the seal herd had been reduced during the five years in which the Paris award had been in operation. In turn the British-Canadian represen- tatives presented counter propositions covering their view of the same sub jects. These propositions differ consid- erably but were not so wide apart as to lead to the belief that they could not be reconciled. It is expected that when the session is resumed tomorrow the experts will be able to reach a common understanding.

BUREIU OF COMP PENSATION.
Hearing on Assessments of Benefits and
 Damages,

The bureau of compensation last night held hearings on the assessment of benefits and damages for the exten- sion of Button street from Spring street to Rosette street and the extension of County street. A large number of resi- dents on Spring and Rosette streets ap- peared and protested against being as- session for benefits to pay for the land taken for the extension of Button street Among those who appeared were Montgomery Armstrong, who rep resents the filling property, MT. Wiley, Judge Pickett and MT. Strack. Judge Pickett appeared to represent Mrs. Scobie, who owns property in the line of the extension. She has land there which will be necessarily taken for the extension, and which is valued at $S25. Mrs. Scobie is willing to sell this land for the price named for the extension, but is opposed to being assessed to pay for any benefits. Ex-Alderman Kelly appeared in regard to the extension of County street and opposed the assess ment of benefits.

YALE ELEVEN IN BOSTON
MET AT THE DEPOT BY REPRESENT-
 ATIVES OFTHEIR RIYALS.

Judge Henry Rowland One of the First to
 Greet the Sons of Old Eli-New Haven
 Collegians Not Worrying-Claim a Vic-
 tory but Look for Fierce COntest-Har-
 vard's Unexpected Practice.
 Boston, Nov 12.-The Yale football team reached Boston at 6:25 this even- ing, and tonight are quartered at the Hotel Vendome. The Yale party occu- pying two parlor cars attached to the Boston and New York express due here at $40 D. m., numbered fifty-siX. Of this number forty-four were players and substitutes.
 About the first one to greet Captain Rodgers men at the hotel was Judge Henry Rowland of New York, who is looked upon as one of Yale's most en- thusiastic "rooters." Yale was cordial ly welcomed by the representatives of their rivals, and the sons of Old Eli were just as enthusiastic in their eX- pressions of good will toward Harvard.
 AS regards Yale's chances for victory, there is little to be said. Captain Rodgers and his coaches refused to talk for publication on that score. They admit that the men are in fine condition physically, that their spirits are good, and that they are prepared to fight the hardest kind of a. battle. In spite of the fact that the Yale men are not To- quacious, however it is not difficult to see that the New Haven collegians are not worrying. The climax of the foot ball season for Yale has been reached in a manner satisfactory far beyond the most sanguine hopes of Yale's friends. Quietly, considerable betting was done. Yale's sports had plenty of mon- ey with them, and they looked for and found considerable at even figures Cap tain Rodgers tonight admitted official ly that Corwin will take the place of Dudley, who was called home by the death of his mother. The Yale contin- gent claims Yale victory tonight, but every one is looking for the most fierce ly fought contest of the year.

CRUSADE AGAINST YELLOW FEYER.


Marine Hospital Service Preparing to Pre- vent Recurrence of Contagion.
 Washington, Nov. 12.-Now that the yellow fever epidemic in this country has been brought practically to an end by the appearance of cold weather, the marine hospital service is preparing to begin a post epidemic crusade for the purpose of preventing a recurrence of the contagion next year. The officials of the bureau will cooperate with the health authorities of the various states affected in conducting a thorough dis infection of the districts in which the fever gained a foothold. The cleaning of all infected cities will be urged and each house in which there was a case of fever will be thoroughly fumigated. It is believed that by pursuing this course the country can be protected against yellow fever epidemic in 1898.
