The Wisconsin Semi Centennial
Committee of One Hundred will hold
a meeting in Milwaukee, Friday, Jan
uary Is, to receive the report of the
Milwaukee subcommittee on finance
If, as is now believed probable, the
Milwaukee Finance committee is able
at this meeting to report subscrip-
tions to an amount which will Justify
the further promotion of the pro-
posed exposition, further action will
be taken to place the exposition pro-
sject on sure footing. If sufficient
funds are pledged, an exposition will
be decided upon, and probably local
and other celebrations of a literary
and historical character. If the ex-
position plan is abandoned, other
plans involving less expense will be
presented and acted upon.

WHEN a governor, in the course OF
a short term, opens the doors of the
state prison for the liberation OF
more than forty condemned persons,
many of them convicted of the most
atrocious crimes in the catalogue, his
action tends to bring the ministry of
justice into disrepute. If the courts
make as many mistakes as the long
list of Governor Upham's pardons
suggests, then they ought to be shut
up. If, on the other hand, an impul-
sive, wavering, easy man in the Office
of governor can recklessly abuse par
doning power to turn convicted Grim
inals loose upon society, then the
pardoning power is a dangerous pre-
rogative which should be taken away
before another Peck or Upham is
elected to the executive chair.-Mil-
waukee Evening Wisconsin.

A PardOning Board.

In view of the recent instances OF
the exercise of executive celemency,
both in Wisconsin and elsewhere, a
strong sentiment has gained ground
in favor OF the esta blishmeut of state
boards Of pardons. Such is beng
advocated by the press and leading
citizens of this state, and a bill meet
ing the requirements Of the question
will without doubt be introduced
into the legislature. By its provis-
ions the governor will be relieved OF
that burdensome power of determin-
ing whether or not convicts shall be
released from states prison and the
matter placed in the hands of COM
petent board composed of several
persons. This seems to be a most
feasible plan and a great degree of
fairness to all concerned should result.
Governor Sco6eld is strongly IN favor
of the establishment of the board
and in his message will recommend
it. He is quoted as saying:
81 am and always have been strong
ly in favor of state board of par
dons. The pardoning power is too
great to be placed in the hands of any
one man. [ do not know that it has
ever been abused in this state,
though" he added with a smile, sit
might De by me. But at any rate, |
believe such board should be estab-
lished and shall recommend it to the
legislature in my message"

number of new members who are ex-
pected to command recognition and

a certainty that there will be at least
three formidable candidates for the

the hOnors of conspicuous leadership
In legislative controversy are likely

Jesse Stone, of Watertown, and A.

be the chief rivals for distinction. Mr..
Stone has not enjoyed the long exper-
fence nor is it supposed that he
possesses the knowledge of parliament
tary technicalities which make Mr..
Hall such a resourceful member; but
his two terms in the early SOS tamil
iarized the rules and methods to
him, and he enjoys in high degree the

members to underestimate his abili-

LATEST SUGAR NEWS,

While the sugar advices of Castle &
Cooke give the price of sugar at 3Hc,
a telegram received in San Francisco
on April 21st is noted, which states
that n sale had been made of 1900
bags at 9-32c. The explanation of
the matter is that a sale was made on
April 10th, the price to be governed
by the first sale made thereafter,
which occurred on the l+th inst. at
3 9-32c. For the week ending April
goth, 1000 bags of sugar were sold
at 3Hc.
The price of granulated sugar is
4.31c in New York and 4Ac in San

DRAFT FROM OHIO STATE

w. Burns Draws on Bishop & CO.
He is Said to be the Notorious

\ draft for $500, drawn by IN. b.
Burns" upon Bishop e. Co. of this
city, and cashed by the Third Nation
al Bank, of Dayton, Ohio, was refused
payment here yesterday. 1t has every
appearance of forgery, and is be-
lieved by the bank people to be the
work of n. b. Breckinbrdge, the eN-
school master, who has turned swind-
ler in the States. and recently got in
Jail at Battle Creek. Mich. 1t has been
a favorte practice of Brecllinbridge' s
to draw upon Honolulu banks for
funds which he never even had on de-
posit, and it looks very much as if
he is up to his old tricks.
The draft in question was cashed
at the Third National Bank of Dayton
on April 18th, and bears the same
date. 1t was sent on to the Chemical
National Bank of New York, and
from there to an Oakland bank be-
fore coming here. AS no such person

no funds are on deposit with Bishop
& Co. for him, the draft was simply
refused payment, and will go back to
the Oakland in the next steamer. II
will probably be returned. eventually
to the Dayton bank. which must
stand the loss or secure an accounting
from Burns, whoever he may be.
The primary reason for believing
that Breckinbridge uttered the draft
is that it was one of his favorite pas
times to do such tricks. The theory
receives coloring from the fact that
the capital "Bs" in the signature, "M
B. Burns" are identically the same a.
the same letters in n. b. Brecken
bridges signature, and the writing
generally resembles, i'm character
that of the ex-school master. Beyond
the resembling there is no evidence
that the work is that of Brecken
bridge.

The big American ship Kenilworth,
Capt. j. G. Baker sailed for New

Oh the year in the Pacific trade.
The Kenilworth left New York No
vember 23r 1896, and arrived in San
Francisco on March 17th after max
ing the passage in ia days. She dis
charged 3,400 tons of general cargo
there, took in $50 tons of ballast and
sailed for Honolulu on April Sd. Ar
irving in Honolulu on April 10Th, she
discharged all her ballast, took in g.
1913 tons of sugar and left for New
York on this date, May 18th, exactly
1866 days from New York The. dis
patch with which she was handled in
this port reflects creditably upon peo-
pie who handled the cargo in San

Captain Baker leaves Honolulu with
regret, as he has many friends here,

SUPPORT FOR THE TREATY
THE SAN FRANCISCO PETITION
REACHES WASHINGTON.
The Matter Referred to the Foreign
Relations Committee of the Senate
Senator White Not Hostile.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Perkins today introduced in the Sen
ate petition against the abrogation
of the Treaty between the United
States and Hawaii, signed by the
Chamber of Commerce and all other
similar associations in the city of
San Francisco, as well as the lea1ing
merchants and manufacturers. In
presenting the petition the Senator
said it showed the interest of the peo-
pie of the Coast in the matter. and he
nection with the protest recently
submitted by him and signed by the
State Grange of California as a pub
lie document.
The petition presented today is an
elaborate one, setting forth at length
the American capital invested in The
and other trade, and what are claim
ed to be the great advantages accru-
ing to San Francisco and California
through the maintenance of the trade
which now exists with the island Re
public.
The petition was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Relations, and
a few minutes later Senator Morrill,,
chairman of the Finance Committee,
introduced one of the printed copies
of the same resolution and asked that
it be sent to his committee. which
was done. This would indicate that
the Finance Committee when it takes
the phases of the Reciprocity Treaty
as well, whicn may, perhaps, render
unnecessary any consideration by the
Foreign Relations Committee of the
Nelson bill, which was sent to it last
week.
Senator Perkins has also received
another petition in favor of the main.
tenance of treaty relations with the
islands, which is signed by ninet IN
firms of the city of San Francisco and
other Pacific Coast ports.
Senator White, since his return
from the Coast, has been engaged in
an analysis of the treaty and trade
which has resulted from it. He said
| tonight that he started upon his in.
vestigation with the belief that the
sugar interests of California demand
ed that the treaty should be abrogat
ed, but that he would give the sub
ject careful thought and would act
solely upon the result of his investi
cations. The subject, he said, mus
be treated as a cold business propo
sition.
While in California, he said, he me
