SIGAS OF UPPosIrIoN.
The Treaty May Not BE Ra;ifed at the
Present Session.

Ihe Treaty May Not Be Ratified at the
Present Session.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 16.-Indi-
cations are that there will be determined
effort 10 defeat the Hawaiian annexation
treaty. Senator Wellington SAID to-day:
There is a general agreement among
Republican Senators that the reciprocity
treaty should be abrogated, but exactly
what steps should be taken to bring about
tn desired result has occasioned wide
divergence of opinion. l think il may be
safely assumed tnat the treaty will go.
II am, myself, in favor of making a
declaration in the tariff bill that after a
certain date the treaty shall cease to ex-
lst, giving the Hawaiians the legal notice
OF one year. There have been various
propositions suggested, and the question
now seems TO be what this country, as a
powerful Nation, can honorably do in
dealing with q small and weaker nation.
$50 far as l know" continued the Sem
ator, "the annexation of the islands las
not been determined upon as the policy of
the party in the Senate. do not know
what recon mendations the President may
make concerning the subject.
lit seems 10 me that the continuance of
- A'Jf "NASh vi 4l loNOA Va thc
Hawaiians and to our disadvantage, is a
bad business proposition, and the question
would naturally arise whether the same
reason that renders the reciprocity treaty
Objectionable could not be urged ais o
against the annexation proposition. For
myself l have not considered the proposi-
tlon OF annexation because l do not Ie-
gard it as being before us. The question
would naturally arise whether we would
not be losing more than we can gain by
pursuing such a course"
1t is by no means certain that an an
nexation treaty can pass the Senate. Tie
Democratic mem bers have not been ap-
prised of the plans of the administration
except through the newspapers, and have
not given the matter consideration. Many
OF Them, however, are opposed 10 terri
torial acquisitions away from this conti-
nent and doubt the wisdom of the course
suggested. A mum ber of Repu blicans also
have been unable TO see exactly what ad-
vantages the United States would secure
TO compensate for the additional respon-
sibilities this country would assume.
Senator White announced himself to-
day as determined TO oppose the ratihca-
tion OF the treaty. and expressed doubt as
to serious effort being made to secure
ratification at the present session. He
based his objection largely on the grounds
of the small percentage of Americans in
Hawaii, there being only bout 5000 out of
total population of 109 600. He thinks it
very doubtful whether the treaty can Sc
cure the necessary two thirds vote to assure
ratification.
Senator Perkins, although a Repubi-
can, announces that he will oppose the
consideration OF the Iraaty at the present
session. He says the questions involved
re of two great importance for hasty dis
posal. he is understoou 10 be in favor OF
annexation, however.

BLOODY BATTLE
WITH OUTLAWS\
Leader McCarty Shot

Horse.
Desperate Encounter Between

Posse.
One Fugitive Is Captured Alive
After Game Fight With PIs-

WICHITA, KAN. June 16.-A fierce
and bloody battle was fought between
Deputy United States Marshals and out
laws in the heavily tim berpd country
about thirty miles north east of the town
OF Antlers. 1. T., last night. The posses
of deputies was headed by Deputy United
States Marshal McEwen of Lehigh, l. T.,
and the leader of the outlaws was R. NJ.
McCarty, who has an unenviable record
as KILLER"
The outlaws were surprised while cook
ing their suppers, but made a dash for
their horses and galloped away, with the
posse in hot pursuit. There was a run
ming fight for a number of miles. The out
laws were gaining, when a bullet from a
Winchester disabled McCarty's horse.
His comrades stopped, and one of them
took him Oh his horse, but after that flight
was difficult and the officers gained on the
fugitives Finally a bullet from Deputy
McEwen's gun killed McCarty and sa-
riously wounded the man who sat in front
OF him on the horse. McCarty was dead
when the officers came up, but his COM
panion was game and fought with pistol
and knife until overcome. The rest of the
outlaws escaped. One or two of the posse
received slight wounds, but none were
hurt seriously.
The wounded outlaw refused to give
his name and told the officers just to call
him Judge" He has been lodged in the
Federal Jail at Antlers on a charge of as
sault to kill United States officer.
The dead outlaw was under indictment
for a long list of crimes. He was the
leader of gang of outlaws that has given
the officers much trouble. A heavy re-
ward was offered for his capture dead or

WASHINGTON, d. c.. June l6.-Very
satisfactory progress was made in the
Senate to-day with the tariff bill, thirteen
pages, running from paragraphs 236 to
2SS, having been disposed OF. The agri.
cultural schedule was completed and the
spirits and wines schedule reached. There
was vigorous fight upon the various
paragraphs all through the day, princi.
pally by Vest of Missouri and Jones o.
Arkansas, but without effecting any
change. The most determined effort or
their part was made in the case of salt
but motion to strike out a paragra ph sc
as 10 put salt on the free list was defeated
by majority of 7.
The paragraph putting a duty of 1C
cents a pound on tea was passed over at
the request of Allison, who suggested that
it might be found in the progress Of the
bill that the duty can be dispensed with.
Notice of an amendment was given by
Mills for % per cent reduction of duties

he opposed tie paragraph in the interest
OF forgotten man." of every fever-wasted
patient in the hospitals, of every poor, wan

who could not afford the high priced fruit

office.
Congressman Loud Is Pleased
That a California Man
Is Chosen.
Probability That Bids for ExcaVa-
ton and Foundation May Be
Opened Next Month.

WASHINGTON. D. c., June 16.-The
Treasury Department has selected James
81. Humphreys of San Francisco for
superintendent of the new Postoffice build
ing, and his appointment will be made in
few days. 1t is understood that his COM
pensation will be about IS per day for each
actual working day.
The CALLS dispatches from Washington
have recently given an account of diff
Guilty NJ. Humphreys had with the for
mer quartermaster at San Francisco.
He was dismissed from his position as
engineer in the qlaTtermaster's office
there for an alleged performance Of work
outside of his official duties, but the real
reason for his dismissal was thai he had a
misunderstanding xith Quartermaster
Lees on account of a pumping station on
Puget Sound, which was erected by
Engineer Humphreys al n cost much less
than estimated by the department. The
two men also had misunderstanding
about ANGEL Island blue stone, used in
erecting seawall.
Quartermaster Kim ball. who succeeded
Lees, as well as the quartermasier now
| stationed at San Francisco, testified in be-
| half of humphreys.
The Quartermaste General of the War
Department (Weeks), who was formerly
stationed on the Pacific Coast, knew
Hum phreys TO be good man. The latter
had formerly worked under Weeks on the
coast.
Senator Perkins. Congressman Loud
and ex-Attorney- General Hart of Califor-
MIA have been especially active in their
efforts to have Mr.. Humphreys reinstated
in the quartermaster's office at San Fran
cisco. They were successful to-day aud
the order was issued late this afternoon.
He will in few days be transferred as
superintendent of the new Postoffice
building.
1t seems that the War Department
deems it best not to create any further
disturbance by sending Humphreys back
to his old place, but by an amicabe ar
rangement between the War Department
and the Treasury Department he will be
transferred, under civil service rule, to be
superintendent of the new buildings in
construction. His reinstatement in the
quartermsster's Office to-day was made in
order that he might be eligible under
civil service regulations for the superin-
tendency. Otherwise he would not have
been on the eligible list.
Congressman Loud is naturally we'll
pleased over the successful outcome of his
efforts to have California man appointed
superintendent, for as stated in Tuesday $
CALL the Secretary of the Treasury had
about decided to send g man from the
Supervising Architects office to superin-
tend the work. Mr.. Load thinks that the
bids for excavation and foundation of the
new building will be opened at the Treas
ury Department July %. He understood
that the date had been enormously given
in other San Francisco papers.
