Summary of the Daily News
WASHINGTON NOTES.


THE japanese government has filed
a protest at Washington against the
Hawaiian annexation treaty on the
ground that it promises to lead to a
bre ach of treaty stipulations between
Japan and Hawaii.
THE president on the 10th nominated
Stewart L. Woodford, of New York,
as minister to Spain.
STEWART L. WooDFORD. of New York,
the newly-appointed minister to Spain,
was on the 18th in consultation with
President Mckinley and formally &C
cepted the Office.
EX-QUEEN LILIUoKALANI has fled a
protest in the Office of the secretary of
state at Washington against the treaty
for the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands
VIGOROUs represe1k atoms will be
made by the United States representa-
tives to Great Britain, Germany and
Belgium, and especially to France. for
a modification of the discriminating
measures against American cattle.
SOME strong intimations were said
to be reaching the president and mem
bers of the cabinet that a definite
declaration of Cuban policy was ex-
pected before the adjournment of con-
gress, members of congress returning
from their homes having reported that
the public feeling was growing more
intense.
THE recent experiment made by the
agricultural department in shipping
butter to England was not entirely
satisfactory. The report said it was
evident that, unless the retailers could
be reached without much extra eX-
pense in transportation, so that better
relative prices could be realized, east
ern creameries could not afford to con-
slider the question of exporting their
products.
THE president has given up his pro-
posed trip to the Utah celebration at
Salt Lake city in July.
PROTESTS are reaching the state de-
partment at Washington from Europe
about the poor corn sent to that coun-
try, and unless a remedy is applied soon
the foreign corn trade of this country
will be ruined. The trouble is said to
be principally with the Nebraska, Kan
sas and Texas crops, which were gath
cred under bad conditions.
ARGENT Washington dispatch stated
that negotiations had progressed far
enough to warrant the statement that
a new arbitration treaty with England
would be transmitted to the senate at
the session in December and that the
treaty would be signed before Queen
Victoria had celebrated her jubilee, all
difficulties having been surmounted.
SECRETARY Lone is planning to man
the United States navy with native
born Americans. as many of the sea-
men now enlisted on American battle
ships are of foreign birth.
SECRETARY WILSON, of the agricul-
tural department, has issued to the
railroads and transportation COM
panies, stockmen and others, a cir
cular notifying them that the disease
known as scab exists among sheep in
the United States, and that it is a VIC
lation of the law to transport any stock
affected with disease from one state or
territory to another.

Another preacher Gone Wrong.

For some weeks the New York dis
patches have been telling us about a
Baptist minister Of that city, Rev. DR..
Daaiel G. Porter, who has been retain
ing possession Of church and keeping
out the minions of the law, BY actual
occupation. Tue officers kept up the
siege for long time, waiting for an OPP
portuuity to serve their writs. Potter
was finally starved out, aud returned to
the apartments in fiat" which he
occupied before the siege began And
now comes Mrs. Potter into court with
petition for . divorce a yinculo alleg-
ing that the garrison Of the beleagured
church consisted Of two parsons to VII,
Daniel c. Potter, aud bis house keeper;
Julia Ross superintendent Of the No-
mans Mission" Mrs Potter charges
her husbind with maintaining improper
relations with other women, whose
names she does not disclose, and if half
her allegations are true this doctor of
divinity ought to be tossed out Of the
ministry BY a process more summary
than that employed by the deputy sher-
ifs to disloge him from Tabernacle

The RemarkabIe Wilson Jaw.

The Wilson law has made remarka-
bic record in the month just ended 1t
has actually created surplus for the
month. The receipts for the month
have for a wonder been greater than the
expenditures, and that too without hold
back any great quantity Of the current
bills as has been the case when it was
found desirable to make an apparent
surplus under the Carlisle administra-
ton Of the Treasury Department The
Wilson law has been 10 operation 81
months and in that time there have been
months when it has made an apparent
surplus. In every case, except the
present month, however. the apparent
surplus was created by holding down
the expenditures far below the demands
upon the Treasury for that particular
moath. In September, 1895, when it
was found desirable to give the Demo-
cratic orators something favorable to say
about this law, Just before the election
OF that fall, a small surplus was created
by holding down expenditures, but
10 the very next month the deficit was
something enormous, reaching nearly
ten million dollars for the mouth. In
the closing months Of the fiscal and cal
endar year under the Carlisle admins
tra,ion, it was found possible % make
favorable showing for those single
mouths so as to make the deficit of the
year as small as possible, hut this was
always compensated for by an enormous
deficit in the months which Immediately
followed, so that the month of March,
1897, is the only one in the history Of
the law in which it has really made
surplus without holding back the expen-
ditures. This is not, however, due to
any improvement in the workings of the
law or anything to its credit 1t is
simply the result Of the fact tia. the
importers at New York took alarm lest
the Dingley bill should cut off their
privileges of importing at the low rates
Of the Wilson law and SO rushed in
many million dollars worth of good.
during this month, thus swelling the re-
ceipts to an abnormal sum. 1t is be-
cause of this fact, and this alone, that
the Wilson law has for once made re-
cord of meeting the requirments of the
Treasury for a single month

Baok.sIlders in the silver Faith

Mr.. Tyler Of the Eastern Gazette was
delegate to the National Editorial As
ISOLATION which met IN Galveston in
February and took trip to Mexico.
The report which he brings to our Edi-
torial Association is that many silverites
came back from Mexico disguised
with the finely spun theories of the
apostles Of that creed, and now comes a
dispatch from Brunswick, Ga, an
nouucing that Henry ". Ried, mem
Der Of the Populist National Committee
aud Tom Watson's right hand man, has
come out, for the gold standard. Mr..
Reid is operating silver mines in Mexi-
GO, and he has learned so many thing,
about the degradation of labor through
the lowering of he money standard
that he has experienced complete
change Of mind and heart. 1t might
be a good thing for that eminent pub
lieist, William J. Bryan, to visit Me1i-
CO, and study the practical working of

He is an able lawyer and statesman Of

missioner Of Patents once before, and
had service on the House Committee on
Patents, is thoroughly familiar with the
important duties of lie position. He is
quite large enough for Cabinet posi-

How He spent His Millions

A short time ago an eccentric million
aire died at Vienna who, during his life
time, was a collector in the full sense of
the word. He lived alone in large
dwelling and when his heirs appeared
they found nothing Of value except the
collections. Ia one trunk magnifi-
Gently arranged stamp collection, worth
about 1920, 600, was found, three cabi-
nets were full Of unused railroad tickets
from all parts Of TIE globe, representing
a face value OF several hundred thousand
dollars, arranged in geographical order
This collection is most interesting since
it contains some specimens of the very
first beginning of railroading among
others tickets for ride from Troy tC
Albany, and from Albany to Newbure
issued during the first years existence
of the railroad between those points
The collection of coins found comprised
more than $4,000 specimens and wa,
sold for 1920, 600 This stamp oolleo
ton was bought by an English dealer
for $4,000; but no body has yet been
found who wants to give anything at all
for the collection of railroad tickets,
which is considered unique, but which
was rejected by the Austrian aud Ger
man governments, to which it was offer
ed, because of the enormous price asked
for il by the heirs. While he spent
during his lifetime more than $3.50, 900
on this collection, the heirs will be sat-
ssfed to realize less than third Of that
sum from the sale of it.

A few wears ago wenefo-dd but extrav-

Cave pike, went to Mr.. Hart Boswell and
asked him to see his brother Dave OF the
Northern Bank and tell hlm that he want
ed to borrow 5000. and Itch ihim that it
would be all o. K, etc. Mr.. Boswell told
him that he would not daat, fart gave him
the following tip: II see you Or your wife
calling negroes out of the, field, two or three
times a day to hitch youse rigs up to go to
Lexington. and I see you stop all hands
from their field work tor drive load Of
corn to market. You stop all this foolish
ness and drive the wagon Of corn yourself,
then go to the bank and &sk for what you
want" r
The man went according to directions,
and after he had sold his corn he went to
the bank and asked for the 5000.
Mr.. r. T. Anderson. one OF the directors
was present, and without asking any uues-
tons, said: ANY man who drives his own
wagon can borrow all the money he wants
at the Northern Bank"
This little transaction changed this mans
condition In life. and he was no longer q
money borrower.
