ANTI-SPRECKLES SUGAR
Outsiders Contract for $4,000 Tons of
the Hawaiian Product for a Cali
fOrnia Refinery.

HONOLULU, Oct. 80, via San Francisco,
Nov. 6.-The Hawaiian Star announces that
contracts have been signed in New York
for $1,000 tons of Hawaiian sugar Of the
crop Of 1898. Another large block Of sugar
will be taken by the new refinery at Port
Costa Cal. This contract is with the COM
bination of sugar plantations outside of
those controlled by Spreckels. The deal will
be Of great advantage to the planters, for
it has been consummat ted upon better terms
thanI they have heretofore obtained, and
it settles definitely in what direction Ha-
waiian sugar will go. The first shipload
will be the Title ,Starbuck. now in port. A
number of vesselsn the .Sewell line will be
chartered Also.
: 1t is understood that the Princess Kailu-
lanai will remain but few days in Homo
lulu, when she will leave again for a tour
of Europe She has requested in advance
that no entertainment or any demonstration
be arranged for her honor and will decline
absolutely to take any part or even discuss
politics. The princess denies any intention
of visiting or comforting with the ex-queen
and from guarded intiElation would seem
to desire to give out the impression that
she is not in sympathy with the ex-queen's S
cause.

A SEAL TREATY SIGNED
THE UNITED STATES, RUSSIA AND
JAPAN JOIN IN CONVENTION.
Full Terms of the Document Will Not
BE known Until Congress-
Meets,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. GA con-
vention between the United States, Russia
and Japan looking to the joint protection Of
the seals, was signed at the state depart
ment today at 12:15 p. m.
AS the document must go to the senate
for it's approval, custom required that it
ner. However, by those concerned it is
said that the genera. purposes Of the treaty
have been already outlined in the press and
it is likely that all further interest that
remains in the document Is the exact ma
ture of the additional restrictions that are
to be imposed upon pelagic sealing.
The signature of the treaty took place in
the large diplomatic room at the state de-
partment and was attended by the usual
formalities. The delegates of the various
governments assembled at least an hour
and a half before the hour appointed for
the formal signature of the document and
were met by Gen. Foster.
There were for the United States Messrs.
Foster, Hamlin and Jordan; for Russia,
Dewollant, Botkine and Routkowsky, and
for japan Charge Matsui Fulfill and Mitsi-
kuri. Secretary Sherman was not present,
as the government was fully represented by
its delegates. The credentials of the par
ties were read in turn and after the treaty
had been carefully inspected the signatures
were attached. The first signatures were
those of Messrs. Foster, Hamln and Jor-
dan and the others were attached in or
der, according to the particular copy of the
document held by the delegates.
There were three copies of this, one for
each nation rep esented and tie delegates of
each nat:cn signed their own copy first.
The sealing Of the documents was attend
ed to by Mr.. Dewollant the charge of the
russian government, and William Gwynne,
the latter being an expert in this line,
having sealed almost every treaty negoti-
ated here since the treaty Of Washington.
With the affiXing of the seals in wax the
formaLities concluded and there was an
exchange of congratulations over the con-
summa ton of the work.
The text Of the treaty will not be given
out by the state department until final rati-
fcations are exchanged.

The Break Down of Legislatures.
(FrOm Harper's Weekly)

Legislatures in great majority of the
states assembled early in January. Most
of them have already adjourned, and
the record of those which are still in
session is practically made up. With
only rare exceptions, the people are pro-
foundly dissatisfied with the work of
their representatives. In some cases in
competency and inefficiency during the
regular session have forced the calling
of an extra session to transact abso-
lutely essential business; in others
weeks have been wasted in deadlocks
over the choice of United States sena-
tors, and in Oregon the entire session
was thus wrecked; in still other cases,
and these the most numerous of all. the
lawmakers have passed many unwise
reckless and mischievous measures, or
have only been restrained from such

LESSONS FROM LATTIMER.
Official Report of Capt. Paxton On
the HaxletOn Strike.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov 7.-Capt,
Alexis r. Patton, 18th infantry, u s. A.,
has forwarded to the secretary of war a
report of the operations of the third bri-
gade and Philadelphia city troop, in the
Hazleton region following the killing of
the strikers at Lattimer by Sheriff Martin
and his deputies. The captain is attached
to the headquarters Of the national, guard
of Pennsylvania, and spent three weeks in
Hazleton with Gen. Goblin, by direction of
Gov. Hastings
The report states that the mobilization
and concentration of the troops exceed in
speed, accuracy and completeness that of
any other state in the union. The camps
of all the organizations were notable for
their thorough police the accurate align
nent of the tents and with the army reg
ulations with regard to castramotation.
Capt Paxton reports that the duty Of the
brigade during this service was performed
in strictly military manner in all re-
spects. The conduct Of the troops at all
times was excellent. The strikers soon
realized that there was no personal animos-
ity against them, and that the real purpose
Of their presence was simply to maintain
la v anu order. Such troops, the captain
says, they could not fail to respect The
heavy loss of life and large list of seriously
wounded at Lattimer, he adds, cannot fail
to impress the thoughtful citizens with the

MUST BE MUTUAL
vrhe Arkansas Supreme Court De-
cides That the Right to Rescind n
Contract Cannot BE One Sided.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. 6.-The su-
preme court Of Arkansas today handed
down a decision which is of the greatest
interest to the public in general, as well
as to the brotherhood of locomotive engi-
neers in particular. 1t is well known that
the locomotive engineers are all employed
under contract by which the seniority
OF service gives priority of right to en-
ployment, SO that when slackness Of busi-
ness demands that one or more engineers
shall be discharged the last engineer en-
ployed shall be the first dismissed.
One of the senior engineers having been
discharged he brought suit on the ground
that he was discharged without cause and
in violation of his contract Of employment
1t was conceded that his contract gave
him the right to quit at pleasure and the
court denied his right to recover on the
ground that no contract can be valid that
gives only one party thereto the right to
terminate 1t.
The court holds that the right to rescind
or terminate a contract must be mutual
The decision is far-reaching, affecting as
1t does, organized labor of all classes
working under contract agreements.

Divided On the Question.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Senator E. o. VOL
colt, of Colorado, who has just returned
from visit to the capitals of Europe as
q member of the United States monetary
commission, still refuses to talk regarding
the results Of his mission. On the Cuban
question, however, Senator Wolcott said to-
day:
so far as these threatened imbroglios
with Spain is concerned, cannot speak,
fer l do not know what has happened in
the last 10 days. In Europe the opinion is
divided as to the rights of the
countries In France this is made
nppa; ent, and there the papers go to ex-

The ideal nation, and when they speak of
BUR difficulties with Spain do so in way
which gives the opinion that one shot from
an American man-of-war would end every
thing.
The monarchial papers are as rabid in
the other direction. They regard ths
United States as an example of the inabil-
lty Of the people to rule themselves and
say that should the rapacity Of the Amer
leans lead this country to war with Spain
those powers of Europe would interfere
and tire United States would find them
selves In serious difficulties

Mr.. Leech Has Practical Views.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. 7.-Vice
President E. .. Leeeh, Of the National
Union Bank Of New York. formerly director
of the United States mint, has presented
paper to the monetary commission, ad-
dressed not SO much to the merits Of any
particular form of banking system as to
needed reforms of the present minting and
currency laws. He favors branch banks,
but doubts the present advisabiiity of MAX
ing the banks assets the sole basis of
issue, although that would be the true
logical method. Nor does he believe it
necessary to redeem all of the silver coin
and paper in gold as the wants of the
people are fully adequate to keeping in
active circulation the $480,000,0OO Of this
money now afioat, as evidenced by the
South and middle sections of the country
where gold is not called for on export ac-
count this form of money suffices for all
business needs, and practically there Is no
difficulty in securing its redemption in gold
when wanted through deposits in banks.
Moreover, the redemption by the govern
ment of silver would require the locking up
of large gold reserve in the treasury and
construct the circulation. Mr.. Leech favors
the repeal of the act Of May 81, 1878, re-
Quiring the reissue of United States notes
coming into the treasury, and would leave
it optional with the treasury to reissue
these notes only in case of need. This alone
would insure the stability of the gold
standard. He regards as prospective and
not imminent danger from the maintenance
Of the present legal paper money circula-
ton, and believes tnat it can be gradually
retired by the coming of silver bullion
both into dollars and subsidiary coins.
Money panics, he thinks, are aggravated
by the accumulation Of country bank de-
posits in New York, from whence 1t is
withdrawn rapidly just when needed there.
Therefore he would abolish reserve cities
and require national banks throughout the
country to keep about Is per cent cash in
reserve in their own vaults, insuring a
uniform distribution of money.

which is being raised by the Representa-
tive for the purpose of purchasing a home
for Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease of Kansas
who has been ruthlessly deprived OF the
shelter for her children by q money-lending
corporation, for one-half the amount loaned
upon it, and a judgment obtained for the
remainder. which they propose to use in
following her up to reduce her to absolute
want. Her offense is the eloquent adyo-
cacy Of Populst principles. 1 ask every
lover Of justice and fair play to send his
contribution to me at Hastings, Mimi. and
l will see that the money is acknowledged

Let us show the world that Populists
