PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Says Hawaiian Islands Should BE An.
nexed.
That part of President McKinley's S
message to Congress which treats of
Hawaiian affairs is as follows:
By a special message, delivered the
10th day of June last, / laid before
the Senate of the United States treaty
signed that day by the plenipotenti-
aries of the United States and of the
Republic of Hawaii, having for it's pur-
pose the incorporation of the Hawaiian
Islands as an integral part of the Unit
ed States, and under it's sovereignty
The Senate having removed the in
junction of secrecy, although the treaty
is still pending before that body, the
subject may be properly referred to in
this message because the necessary ac-
tion of Congress is required to deter.
mine by legislation many details of the
eventual union, should the fact of an
nexation be accomplished, as l believe
it should be.
While consistently disavowing from
a very early period any aggressive
policy of absorption in regard to the
Hawaiian group, long series of dis.
cussions through three-quarters of q
century has proclaimed the vital in.

dependent life of the Islands and theil

ply pushing against solid wall that

Mr. J. B. Atherton fails to see any
thing discouraging in the dispatches.
As to the voting strength, there is
nothing new by the Mariposa. From
the very first the final supreme effort
of the opposition has been expected
very much as it was presented. About
Ievery movement made or statement Of
fered has been anticipated. Mr.. Ather-
ton has always been careful in his
statements of views on succeeding
steps, but feels certain on the arrival
of satisfactory result amid noisy
protest
r. P. Rithet, who has all along been
a firm friend and effective advocate of
the cause of the Islands, writes that
there need be no alarm over what may
appear on the face to be news of ne
gative nature. The opposition is hav-
ing it's first innings and is making big
noise. Mr.. Rithet declares he is utterly
unable to conceive that the annexation
lists can fail The situation as it has
existed for months insures against de-
feat.
A number of citizens received letters
in which different views as to the route
to annexation were given. Some say
the treaty will go through the Senate
with the required two-thirds vote. 9th
ers believe there will be long fight in
Congress with the outcome of the pas
sage of a joint resolution, by rousing
big majority in each branch.

joint RESOLUTION
Claim That Annexation Must
Come Before Both Houses.
NOT TWo-THIRDs IN THE SENATE
Final Passage Seems Probable-Ha-
Waiian Delegation In WASH
ington.

WASHINGTON, December 7.-Ha-
waii will be annexed to the United
States by the course followed in the
absorption of Texas. This is the pro-
gram developed late tonight and made
public through the calling Of special
meeting of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations by Senator La IS.
His promised action of calling up the
treaty in the Senate today was post
poned by reason of the early adjourn
ment out of respect to the memory of
Senator George.
Party lines have been drawn so close
ly since the Presidents message was
sent in that the friends of annexation
have been unable to secure the promise
of the 60 votes necessary to put
through the treaty. In fact, the figures
given out by friend and advocate of
annexation tonight show that only 54
votes are assured for ratification.
To offset these conditions, however,
there is doubtful list of Is. The out
and out opponents of the treaty num-
ber 10. This figuring shows loss of
three to the ratification group since the
extra session, they having passed to the
doubtful list, while as many went into
the opposition column.
With only six votes needed the rati-
fication men feel certain that they
should win, but they perfer to make
the movement an entire national one
by taking up the Morgan bill and CIV
ing the House a chance to act. The
opponents admits the presence of a ma
jority, but hope to win over many
votes during the debate. This will have
the effect of producing long delay be-
fore the voting, for the opposition has
many strong fighters.
The Morgan bill should pass the
House by a majority approaching 100
|if the comment heard by the annexa-
tionists is guide. Congressman Bar
ham, who is a warm advocate of the
measure, said tonight that he was sur
prised by the amount of interest shown
lin annexation. While his meetings
have been largely with Republicans, he
says he has not found one outspoken
anti-annexationist. On the other hand,
he has found SO many men who favor
the plan that he is convinced the bill
for annexation would have great ma
jority in the House. Speaker Reed, it
is understood, is opposed to the bill,
but would not go to the length OF pre-
venting consideration of an Admins
tration measure.
The feeling tonight is that the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee will de-
eide to press the Morgan bill, as Sena-
tor Davis has announced his intention
to insist upon a consideration of the
question at once.

COLD MOLASSES.
Luahiwa and Sam Wallace En-
gaged i'm d Deal


Chas. Chillingsworth and Henry
Vida, the Marshal's clever special Off
GERS, in the drug" line, made a cap
ture last night. They didn't get opium
though. The only reason for this was
that the containers had cold mOlasses
inside. The boys have 81 neatly and
perfectly labeled tins at the station,
two notable prisoners and one extra
tin containing real opium. This latter
was the sample.
the barracks, football and baseball
the barracks, football and base ball
player and former police officer; Sam
Wallace, police officer, boOtball player
and oarsman Wallace has always had
a good reputation and has flawless
record up to this episode. Luahiwa
has been charged before with handling
the tabu drug.
Chillingsworth and Vida had a
Chinaman on their staff. This man
was to buy the opium from Wallace
and Luahiwa. Delivery was to be made
on Upper Vineyard street. The specials
were out in bluejacket uniform. They
were on the watch at different points.
Through change in the program of
the dealers Chillingsworth found him
self on the scene alone just as the bar
gain was being made. A Chinaman
was burning the real opium to prove
it. Luahiwa and Wallace saw Chill
lingsworth plainly, but did not know
him. When Chillingsworth made him
self known all the men ran.
Wallace started out with the bag
of merchandise He threw it over a
fence and almost hit Henry Vida.
Chillingsorth fired a shot in the air
| and brought Wallace to a standstill
just as Vida came over the fence. Lua-
hiwa and two Cinnamon in the deal had
disappeared. Wallace was making a
fight with Chillingsworth, who is also
a football player, when Vida took a
hand Luahiwa was arrested later or
warrant.
The circumstances OF the case are
such that Luahiwa and Wallace will
| likely get off easily in Court, but one
squad of the cold molasses brigade vii
be disbanded. Chillingsworth ant
Vida had been on the trail of this com
bination for no less than three month:

work, even if there was not opium il

CHARD GETS
SIX MONTHS
Light Sentence Imposed on the
Erring Ex-POstal
Clerk.
His Father and His Sister Wept With
Shame When Judgment Was
Pronounced.

The father and the sister of James
w. Chard wept bitter tears yesterday
when United States District Judge De
Haven sentenced him to six months
imprisonment in the Alameda County
Jail. He was saved the disgrace of the
penitentiary by his previous good rec
ord, by the fact that he belongs to a
worthy family, that he seemed to be
penitent, that his offense was his first
violation of the law and was the result
of youthful indiscretion rather than of
real badness of heart. His counsel
made a touching plea for him, in
which he dwelt upon those facts, and
Deputy District Attorney Schlesinger
put in a good word for the young man.
Chard was a postoff1ce clerk in the
newspaper mailing department and
was detected in appropriating small
sums of money paid by newspaper
publishers. His peoulations extended
over several months, but did not ex-
ceed 500 in the aggregate.
The young man broke down after his
arrest and made a full confession. On
account of his youth and previous
good reputation he was allowed to
plead guilty to one charge of having
neglected to deposit Government
money in the treasury, and a nolle
prosequi was entered as to the charge
of embeZzlement.
Chard's father, a respectable citizen,
made good the amount of money ap-
propriated by the prisoner and was
unceasing in his efforts to save his son
from the penitentiary. The young man
seemed to feel keenly his position, and
after sentence was pronounced he
arose and thanked the Judge.

AMONG THE SPORTSMEN.
Good and Bod Luck on
SundoV.

Anglers who returned yesterday from
Russian River say steelhead fishing is
now in its prime. Ten large steelheads
were shipped on Saturday by Al Will
son to John Butler, with a note which
read that all anglers who intend to
visit Duncans Mills must be provided
with shrimp and "red'f1ies. The river
is clearing rapidly and trolling with a
spoon will be in order from now until
the next heavy rain.
There was a rush of anglers to Point
Reyes on Saturday and Sunday. Quin-
to Cadoni landed a 1615-pOund fish.
Frank Dolliver caught a 10-pounder
and Charles Precht is credited with
capturing a fish that was speared by
an Indian who is said to be an expert
sportsman.
The small fish that were so numerous
in the tide waters of the Paper Mill
Creek one week ago have disappeared
and large steelheads are now in evil
dence, but owing to the low water they
are difficult to catch.
1t is said that the net fishermen who
reside on the shores of Tomales Bay
are netting steelheads at the mouth
of the Paper Creek and shipping
their catches from Marshall station
to this city. The attention of the
Fish Commissioners has been called
to this fact.
Messrs. Woodward and Hamilton of
the Country Club bagged thirty Eng
lish snipe and a miscellaneous bag of
ducks last Saturday on the Country
Club preserve. Al Newman bagged
100 mudhens Ed Ladd grassed nine
ducks. DR.. Payne, Frank Vernon and
Otto Bransdorff made respectable
bags of quail, duck and meadow lark.
DR.. Hibbard returned from the point
with nine ducks.
Billy McCrae returned from the
Black Jack Shooting Club preserve
| on Sherman Island on Sunday night
with fifty-nine ducks, the greater num-
ber of which were gadwall. James
Maynard and Dave Harefield had only
| fair success at Byron.
Hunters who shot in the vicinity of
| TomaleS on Sunday bagged large
numbers of quail and cotton-tail rab-
| bits.
Duck-shooting is first-class on the
| Mount Eden and AlViso marshes. Sew
eral large strings of sprig and spoon
| bill were returned from the salt ponds
of Mount Eden on Sunday.

MHRDI GRAS BALL.
IDdicotion Tbot q Majority Of tbe
Art Association Members Favor
the Function.

Shall there be a Mardi Gras ball ?''
is the question which now agitates the
members of the Art Association. In
order to ascertain the sentiment of the
members on this point the board of
directors decided to send out blank
ballots, and thereon the choice of each
voter may be expressed. The ballots
are forwarded to and counted by J. r.
Martin, the assistant secretary. At 4
o'clock yesterday twenty three votes
in favor and fourteen against the ball
had been registered. The number of
tickets asked for by the affirmative
voters is forty-two.
The voting will continue until the
regular meeting of the board in the
first week of January, but it would be
highly gratifying to the directors of
the association if members would inn
mediately express an opinion by ballot
one way or the other. The date of the
ball, if one be given, will be February
%, as that time is the beginning OF
Lent in 1898.
There is difference Of opinion in
the board of directors as to the ad-
visibility of giving a ball The presi-
dent, Horace Platt, is opposed to thr
function. while Mayor Phelan and Ed
ward Bosqui are in favor of it.

PREPARING FOR
THE ELECTION
Meeting Held Last Night to In
dOrse the Citizens Charter
Convention Nominees.
The Candidates Pledged to the Prin-
ciPles of Civil Service and Econ
Onaic Government.

WelI-attended meeting was held at
Metropolitan Hall last night to indorse
the nominees of the Citizens Charter
convention for FreehoIders.
Horace Davis, in calling the matter
to order, said that there was no Doubt
that the city needed a new code of laws
for its proper government He said
that the nominees of the charter con-
vention were pledged to home rule.

and that in the event of their election
they would frame a charter that would
give the municipality a good and hon
est government. Il have no word of
discredit to say about the nominees on
the fusion ticket" he concluded, 'but
they are not pledged to any platform of
principles
Mayor Phelan spoke at considerable
length on the necessity of the people
adopting a new charter. I'VE have no
municipal government in San Francis
co to-day" said he for the public
bodies meet and adjourn and the gas
and water rates remain unchanged -
In concluding he said that the nomi-
nees of the Charter Convention were
pledged to frame a document that will
give the municipality an economical
ernment. He further said that the
charter framed by the convention was
only proposed as advisory to the Free
holders, in the hope of saving them
much valuable time.
Irving NJ. Scott spoke of the pro-
posed charter as a bill of rights and
one that will give the people a respon-
sible government. After reviewing
the work of the convention he urged
the people to not neglect to vote next
Monday in the hope of lifting the
political incubus of bossism from the
neck CT San Francisco.
Franklin K. Lane said that on Mon
day next the people would be given
an opportunity to show their indepen-
dence at the polls. He urged them to
vote for the nominees of the Charter
Convention, as they had pledged
themselves to give the city an econ
omical government in the shape of a
charter based on the principles of
home rule and civil service.
