The Present Congress VIII Consider
it-Discussed by the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, July President
Mckinley called special meeting of
the Cabinet for today.
After a discussion lasting over an
hour the cabinet decided that the Pres
ident should send to Congress a mes
sage recommending legislation provid-
ing for a committee to adjust the cur
rency question of the country.
1t is the expectation of the President
that the subject will receive the at
tention of Congress during the present
extra session.
The message itself is written and is
short. It's principal feature is a quota
tion from the Presidents inaugural
address on the financial subject.
The tariff bill was not considered at
the meeting today, except in its bear
ing on the currency commission prop
osition.
The President will ask authority to
name nine Commissioners and for an
appropriation for the expenses of the
Commission, but will not make sug-
gestion as to the political or other
composition of the Commission, nor
will he make any suggestion as to the
lines of investigation. He will himself
call attention to the necessity of re-
form in our currency and national
banking laws and state that in his
opinion reform is equally important
with the enactment of a protective
tariff law

Annexation.
Vote ON MEASURE WAS 38 TO 28

WASHINGTON, July by the de-
cisive vote of 3S to % the Tariff Bill
was passed in the Senate shortly be-
fore 5 O'Clock today. The elimination
of the long and arduous struggle had
excited the keenest interest and the
floor and galleries of the Senate Cham
Der were crowded by those anxious
to witness the closing scenes. Speaker
Reed, Chairman Dingley and many of
the members of the House were in the
rear area, while every seat in the
galleries, save those reserved for for
eign representatives, was occupied.
The main interest centered on the final
vote, and aside from this there was
little of a dramatic character in the
debate.
The early part of the day was spent
on amendments of comparatively min-.
or Importance, the debate branching
into financial and antitrust channels.
By o'clock the Senators began mani

"vote, VOTE" and soon thereafter the
last amendment was disposed of and
the final vote began. There were
many Interruptions, as pairs were ar
ranged, and then at 4:55 o'clock the
Vice-Presidenta a,arose and announced
the passage of the bill: Yeas, 38;
nays, 28 There was no demonstra-
tion, but few scattered hand-claps
were given as the crowd dispersed.
An analysis of the final vote shows
that the affirmative was cast by 35
Republicans, two Silver Republicans
Zones, of Nevada, and Mantle), and
one Democrat, McEnery; total, SO. The
negative vote was cast by % Demo
crats two Populists (Harris, of Kan
sas, and Turner) and one Silver Re
publican, Cannon; total, 2S.
Following the passage of the bill, a
resolution was agreed to, asking the
House for a conference and Senators
Allison, Aldrich, Platt (of Connecti-
cut): Burrows, Jones, (of Nevada);
Vest, Jones, (of Arkansas), and White
were named as conferees, on the part
of the Senate.
The Tariff debate began on May 25th.
The actual consideration of the Bill
began the next day, May 26th. The
debate has been continuous since then,
covering six weeks and one day.

DOES NOT DESIRE HAWAII.

Count Okuma Reiterates Previous
Statements of Japan.
WASHINGTON, July THE Wash
ington Star publishes a noteworthy in
terview with Count Okuma, japanese
Minister of Foreign Affairs.
This interview was secured by Theo-
dore Noyes, one of the editors of the
Star, who has recently been travelling
in Japan.
The Count protests vigorously
against the new American tariff, which
he says will greatly retard develop
ment of an important reciprocal trade
between Japan and the United States.
News that the United States has
taken steps toward the annexation of
Hawaii had not then reached Japan,
and Count Okuma did not believe it
possible that the United States would
take any such step.
Japan recognizes that the relations
between the United States and Ha-
waii are very intimate" said the Jap

anese leader. ''The Americans are in
the majority among the whites. They
own most of the property. They have
a large majority in the present Cabi-
net AS Hawaii lies between the Unit
ed States and Japan, somewhat nearer
TO the United States, some people on
the Islands have already sought an
nexation by the United States. But the
Republic should be satisfied with hold
ing the independence of Hawaii. Both
the United States and Japan have an
interest in maintaining the statu quo"
What is the present status of the
Hawaiian controversy" asked Mr..
Noyes.
For some unknown reason the Ha-
waiian Government has obstructed the
entrance of Japanese into the Islands,
which it had previously invited.
Three ship loads have been stopped,
and not only the people on these ships,
but others on their way to Hawaii,
have suffered damages. This act is in
violation of the treaty.
THE Japanese Government and the
Japanese people have no idea of men
aeing the independence of Hawaii
Nothing could be further from their
wishes and purpose. They will be
quite content if their treaty rights are
observed and respected. Japan's posi-
ton is so just and reasonable that
fully expect a satisfactory settlement
by negotiations, and do not apprehend
any serious troubles
rs it not possible that if the Japan
ese in Hawaii are permitted to in
crease until they form a majority in
numbers and power they may get be-
yond control of the far removed home
Government and make serious trouble
in spite of the just and friendly atti-
tude of the Government of JAPAN"

prehenSion. An order issued by the
Consul General in Hawaii is now eff
fective throughout the $4,000 immi-
grants. They are a peaceable and law
abiding people, who go there with no
other object than money making Obe-
dience to legal authority is a natural
characteristic of them. | don't believe
that there would be any trouble if the
number were indefinitely increased"
''If the Japanese had majority of
the population, might not they over
turn the existing Government and OBJ
tain control merely by demanding and
securing representation in the Hawai-
ian legislative body?"
Most Of them don't go there to re-
side for any length of time. They re-
turn to Japan after a few years mon
ey making. The individual Japanese
IN Hawaii are constantly changing.
They have mo political interests in the
country
Notwithstanding these reassuring
words of Count Okuma, Mr.. Noyes,
who is a careful observer, gives it as
his opinion that if the United States
had not taken steps to annex Hawaii,
Japan would certainly have done so.

PLEADING FOR LUETGERT.
Attorney Deneen to Make the Clos
ing Argument Monday.

Chicago, H., Oct. 16.-The last word in
defense of Adolph Luetgert has been spok-
en-. Former Judge Vincent, chief counsel
for the defense in the great murder trial,
closed his address to the jury this after
noon.
As he bowed to the jury and took his
seat, an outburst of applause shook the
court room. The jurymen stood up and
the court bailiffs shouted in vain for or
der. Several hysterical ladies were es-
corted from the ROOM
Judge Tuthill ordered the jury to its
room and delivered himself very forcibly
on what he called a disgraceful scene.
This was the last day of the eight weeks
during which the trial has been in pro-
gress, and Attorney Vincent, after again
reviewing the evidence of the bone ex-
perts, and severely arralgning the witness
es for the state, some of whom he styled
mechanics" referred in touching man.
ner to the association formed during the
trial
'And now, gentlemen of the jury" he
said, in conclusion, "the ever-moving
hands upon the dial of yonder clock warn
me that the usual hour of adjournment
has arrived. must cease pleading and
leave the case in your hands. I have
fought the fight and kept the faith to the
very best of my ability What ] have
done has been dSSe with an aDiding con-
Viction that 1t was right. For two months
we have been closely associated in the
trial of one of the greatest cases of the
day. Soon we must separate to go our
general ways and again take up our diff
ferent lines of duty. But before l leave
you desire to thank you on behalf of my
client, my associate, and myself, for the
close attention you have paid to this trial.
And, now, gentlemen, after all that has
been said against Luetgert and which has
been swept away by the clear sunlight of
truth, would it not be like shooting an old
mess-mate in the back to find a verdict of
guilty against him?"
A hush fell over the court room at these
words Turning again to the jury, Judge
Vincent concluded:
'He has lost his liberty. he has lost his
name, he has lost his fortune, he has lost
his wife. VIII he lose his life?'
After order had been restored, the court
was adjourned until Monday when State's S
Attorney Deneen will close for the prose-
cution.
Judge Tuthill will probably deliver his
charge on Tuesday, when the case will go
to the jury.
Betting in the Chicago pool rooms is 60
to 40 that Luetgert will be acquitted.

there was much promise in the yellow

reports were all of a reassuring nature.
No deaths had occurred, and by o'clock
the new cases had only reached fifteen, as
against more than double that number on
the day before.
BY O clock only twenty-five cases had
been reported to the board of health, and
the first death occurred late this evening.
The death was that of DIR. J. Spruell. He
was a widely known dentist.
The new cases to-day are rather widely
scattered. This was the record for to-day:

The most important feature of the news
situation to-day was a meeting at the me-
chanics, dealers and lumbermans ex-
change. It was called for the purpose of
critcising the board of health and insist
ing upon the modification of local quar-
antlne resolutions. Those who were in
strumental in having the meeting called,
held that there was no longer any neces-
sIty of squandering thousands of dollars
a week trying to confne the disease by
use Of guards when the infection has
widely spread and the people in every
quarter of the city were successfully evad-
ing the board of health regulations by go
ing over back fences and through side
alleys and then mingling with the people
on the streets. Resolutions on this line
were voted down, however.
