How the Annexation Senatorial
Visitors Talk of heir Projected
Visit.
WASHINGTON, August 1.-Senator
John t. Morgan is going to Hawaii
for the purpose of making a per
sonal examination Of tho conditions
in those islands, so as to be fully
prepared for the great fight which
will take place in the Senate at the
December session, when the treaty
for the annexation OF the islands
comes up. Senator Morgan is an
annexationist OF the most pro-
nounced type,
81 am Of the class of men," he
said tonight, "who believe like
Tyler, Marcy and many others OF
our great men of the past that an
nexation OF the Hawaiian Islands
is military and political necessity
to u.s."
Senator Morgan will leave Wash
shington for his journey early in
September. He expects to spend
from month to six weeks upon the
islands, which he thinks will give
him sufficient time for acquainting
himself with the conditions which
prevail there.
81 believe" said the Senator, in
discussing his prospective trip, "that
annexation is bound to come. | have
been of that opinion for many years,
and l have seen no reason lately for
changing it,"
'Do you think Senator" he was
asked, chat annexation of the ISL
ands would necessitate a large in
crease in the American navyW
No, l do not think that it would
necessitate it, but even if it did,
that would be no good grounds OF
objection, for the upbuilding of our
navy, is most desirable. We have
interests in the Pacific Ocean now
which call for greater naval force,
than we have for their proper pro-
lection. We have in Boring Sea the
greatest fishery in the world; it is
worth more than all the gold mines
which were ever worked in Cali
fornia, Colorado or any of our ter
ritories. Then we have the great
coal interests of the Northwest.
We have the gold fields of Alaska,
which, in my judgment. will yet
prove richer than those Of the
Transvaal. We have a great coast
line, and we have Pearl Harbor in
Hawaii, one of the finest harbors
in the world. We would have to
protect that harbor from the Ha-
waiian Government and have APP.
propriated money for its improve
ment."
New York, August Limited
States Senator M. S. Quay of Penn
sylvania, who is spending few days
at Atlantic City, N. j., announced
to-day to a number of his intimates
his intention of making an early
trip to the Hawaiian Islands, to
make careful study of the country,
it's prospects and the advantages or
disadvantages which would accrue
to this country through annexation.
Indirectly he gave out the impress
sion that no was going as an in.
formal agent of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, and that on
what he saw and learned in the land
OF President Dole would be based
a voluminous report which will be
read when the Hawaiian annexation
treaty comes up for consideration.

Leaders Of D Band Of Dangerous Coun.
terfeiters Arrested.
Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. 3.-W. j.
Burns, OF the United States secret serv-
Ice at Washington, has landed in Jail
here Simpson Craig, of Jackson, charged
with counterfeiting. He was a mem
Der of the Kingston gang. The King
stons, two brothers, are now serving
time in the penitentiary for counter
feiting $50 United States note Of the
Hamilton head series. Mr.. Burns came
here ten days ago under order of Chief
Hazen, and has succeeded in ferreting
out the pals of the Kingstcns and has
them under arrest. Saturday he ar
rested John Depree, Of this city, who en-
graved the plate and who is under ST.
500 bail for trial February 10. Sunday
he arrested Fred Hauck, of Bedding,
charged with counterfeiting, whose
trial Is set for February 10.
Mr.. Burns was assisted in the arrest
by Deputies O'Donnell and Hayden.
These arrests take in all the principals.
There are others connected with the
fraud on the government, but it is not
probable that the government will
push charges against them. The first
Of the gang to fall into Mr.. Burns hands
was Alvin H. Packer, who was arrested
June, 1896, and sent to the Ohio peni-
Tertiary for seven years. This was fol.
lowed by the arrest of the Kingstons
nnd their conviction. The arrests just
made cleans up gang of counterfeit
ers who have operated in this vicinity
for several years.

Declared Unconstitutional by Wisconsin
Supreme Court
Madison, Wis.,, Feb. 3.-The supreme
court on Tuesday handed down de-
cision which declares unconstitutional
the law under which county courts have
committed TO Kelley institutes through
out the state INDECENT inebriates for
treatment at the expense of the county
from which they We're committed. The
test case was on an appeal from the
decision of the circuit court of Milwau-
kee, which held that Milwaukee county
was liable for the cost of treating pa
tient committed to the Wisconsin Kee-
ley institute. The supreme court re-
versed this decision. Milwaukee coun-
ty alone will be relieved of paying near
ly $50 900 for treatment under such COM
mitments, and settlement of claims in
many other counties has been held in
allegiance pending decision as to the
constitutionality OF the law.

Ill, Fails.
Sterling, Ill.,, Feb. 3.-The extensive
works OF the Keystone Manufacturing
company, Thomas A. Gait president,
were closed by the sheriff Tuesday,
leaving the plant in the hands of Ad-
diecn j. Plat, as custodian. Regard
ing the failure the company's attorney,
Charles F. Shuey, of Chicago, says:
1.-THE failure was brought about through
inability to make collections, the past
winter having been the most disastrous
on record. 1t is understood that the
company has bills and accounts re-
oeivable aggregating over s25o,o00.
While no statement of assets and liza
bilities can be now procured, it can be
stated roughly that they are about
equal and will aggregate between $780,
600 and $e0o,oO EACH" 1t is probable
that business will be resumed rs soon
Us satisfactory settlement can be
made with creditors. The keystone
company was engaged in the manufac-
ture of all kinds of farming implements.

son has been appointed receiver of the
property in this city of the Keystone
Manufacturing company of Sterling,
Ill. on application of w. C. G. Sackett,

ties are $4,000 and the assets not more
than $780, 900,
