QUAY GOING TO HAWAII.
Will Act as the Informal Agent of
the Committee on Foreign
Relations.

New York, Aug 2.-United States Sen
ator M. S. Quay of Pennsylvania, who
is spending a few days at Atlantic City,
n. J., announces his intention of making
an early trip to the Hawaiian islands to
make a careful study of the country, its
prospects and the advantages or disad
vantages which would accrue to this
country through annexation.
Indirectly he gave the impression that
he was going as the informal agent of
the committee on foreign relations, and
that on what he saw and earned in the
land of President Dole would be based
a yoluminous report, which would be
read when the Hawaiian annexation
treaty comes up for consideration.
Senator Quay gave this informa ton in
an informal conference which he held
with a number of Pennsylvania state
leaders ct the Hotel Windsor.
When seen Senator Quay said that his
judgment and his vote would entirely de-
pend upon the impression which he might
gain by a possible tour of the islands.
He will remain at Atlantic City until
August y, when in company with a
party of Washington friends he will go
to Florida and there spend three weeks
fishing and cunning. From Florida he
will go direct to San Francisco. where
he will sail for Honolulu, not returning
until November.
Senator Morgan of Alabama. senior
Democratic member of the foreign rela-
tons committee. is also arranging for an
extended visit in September to the Ha-
waiian islands. Mr.. Morgan is in favor
of annexation. Senator Morgan will
visit Hawaii at the same time as Sena-
tor QUAY

The Story of a DeafMute.

81 have heard and read many pathetic
stories" said Senator Hoar the other
day, 'but none Of them ever awoke so
much sympathy as one which Professor
Gallaudet related. The professor has a
favorite pupil-a little deaf-mute boy,
exceptionally bright. Mr. Galaudet
asked him if he knew the story of
George Washington and the cherry tree
With his nimble fingers the little one said
he did, and then he proceeded to repeat it.
The noiseless gesticuIations continued
until the boy had informed the professor
of the elder Washington's discovery of
the mutilated tree and of his quest for
the mutilator When Georges father
asked him who hacked his favorite
cherry tree signalled the voiceess child,

NEW REVENUE RULES.
Order Regarding Packages of To-
bacco Containing Prizes is
Modified.

Washington, D. c., Aug. "a modfi-
cation of the recent circular of instruc-
tons to collectors of internal revenue has
been made and will be sent out today.
These instructions declare that all pack
ages of smoking tobacco, fne-cut chew
ing tobacco, or cigarettes containing art
cIes prohibited by section 10 of the new
tariff act, or having such articles at
tached or connected Herewith, or adver-
Using any promise or offer of gift, re-
ward or prize contrary to the provision
of the new act are subject to seizure.
The new order directs that all viola
tons of this section of the act be re-
ported to the commissioner of internal
revenue, but no seizures shall be made
without specific instructions from him.
Some question has arisen as to the power
of the department in the premises. The
contention is made that Congress has no
power to fix by law regulations govern
ing the package of articles subject to in
ternal revenue unless in some way the
power or convenience of the government
in the collection is affected. Also that
this provision is in restraint of trade and
interferes with legitimate business. I'm
til the department has determined the
question no seizure will be made under
this provision of the law.

FEELING OF DISTRUST.
American Blue Jackets Being Per-
secuted by the Police of
Honolulu.

Vancouver B. c., Aug. 2.-The steamer
Miowera from Honolulu brings the fol-
lowing Hawaiian advices: Honolulu
harbor is dotted with British, japanese
and United States war vessels and more
British and japanese vessels are expect
ed daily. In seni-official quarters every
thing is reported quiet but the impression
among citizens is that the condition of af-
fairs is very threatening and a popular
outbreak may occur at any time, when in
terna tional interference from ships in the
harbor would occasion complications.
The stream of Asiatic laborers is still
pouring in, each shiploao causing a fresh
outbreak of feeling among the different
factions on the islands,
An immediate cause of alarm is the
fact that the United States bluejackets
are bitterly hostile to the Hawaiian po-
lice, who exercise almost military rule.
British and Japanese sailors are not mo-
Tested, but American blhejackets are con-
stantly arrested as deserters without
cause, and annoyed in every conceivable
way.
The object of the authorities in this
persecution cannot at present be faith
omed. The bluejackets are writing nu-
merous letters to the press, protesting
against their treatment. Heavy rewards
are offered to the police for arresting
United States naval deserters, which has
caused wholesale arrests of men Of the
American feet.
News of the annexation of several ISL
ands by Great Britain has been received
with excitement and again started re-
port that advices have been received from
England that the United States will not
be allowed to annex Hawaii, as Great
Britain wants the islands herself.
American insist on vigilance commit
tees being appointed to look after Amer
lean interests in view of the persecution
of American bluejackets by the police
They ask that the police system be done
away with as menace to the country.

KILLED A MO0NSHINER.
Frank Simmons Defends His Home
Against a Band of DeS5er
does in Tennessee.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. "a band of
moonshiners attempted to enter the house
of Frank Simmons at Conrad, twenty
miles north of this city, early Sunday
morning, and the leader, Dudley Johnson,
was killed. The desperadoes broke the
door from its fastenings and when John
son appeared Simmons fired. The leader
stepped backward and after firing several
shots into the house the party retired.
This morning Simmons young son
found Johnson dead III the woods a short
distance from the house. The bullet
severed the jugular vein and ranged
downward, coming out between his
shoulders. Simmons learned that a mob
of mOonshiners were forming and he
fed to the woods until he can secure the
protection of the law.
The coroner's jury has just held Sim
mons justifabl BILE. The moonshiners. who
were afraid Simmons would testify
against them, dressed in whitecappers'
uniforms and went to kill him. When
found Johnson still wore a mask. Sheriff
Fulgham has gone to the scene of the
trouble and will accord Simmons the
protection of the law.
