Mrs Smith had to walk part of the way

On their way to the train the carriage
conveying the bridal party, in an artemSt
to leave the street car tracks on which the
vehicle had been travelling, wrenched a
wheel from it's axle, throwing the occu-
pants to the ground and scattering their
hand baggage in the street. They hurriedly
made their exit from the carriage unhurt
and walked the remainder of the way to
the depot, four blocks away. The horses
became frightened and attempted to run.
The driver chung to the reins and was
dragged a short distance before the team
was stopped. He was slightly bruised, but
otherwise uninjured. The affair was kept
very quiet and but few of the friends at
the depot who went thither to give the
usual wedding serd-off knew of the occur
renee.

for the end in view. In brief, from 1920
to 1898 the course Of the United States
toward the Hawaiian islands has consist
entity favored their autonomous welfare
with the exclusion of all foreign influence
save our own to the extent of upholding
eventual annexation as the necessary out
come of that policy.
Not only is the union of the Hawaiian
territory to the United Staes no new
scheme, but it is the inevitable consequence
os the relation steadfastly maintained with
that mid-Pacifc domain for three-quarters
of a century. It's accomplishment, despite
successive denals and postponements, has
been merely a question of time. While its
failure in 1898 may not be a cause of con-
graduation, it is certainly proof of the
dsinterest tednesS of the United States, the
feed to establish the right and the ability
of the republic Of Hawaii to enter, as a
sovereign contractant, upon a conventional
union with the United States, thus real1z-
ing a purpose held by the Hawaiian pee
pie and proclaimed by successive Hawaiian
governments through some seventy years
of their virtual dependence upon the beneV-
olent protection of the United States. IN
der such circumstances, annexation is not
a change-it is a conSummation.
The report of the secretary of state eX-
hibits the character and course of the re-
cent negotiation and the features of the
treaty itself. The organic and administra-
tive details of Incorporation are necessarily
left to the wisdom of the Congress, and
cannot doubt, when the function OF the
constitutional power shall have been ac-
complished, the duty Of the national legls-
lature in the case viii be performed, with
the largest regard for the interests of this
insular domain and for the welfare OF the
inhabitants thereof

INTO A FILTHY STREAM
SUBURBAN TRAIN PLUNGES INTO THE
RIVER AT CHICAGO.
About Twenty People Go Down with
Ii, but Only Six Receive Injuries
All VIII Recover.

CHICAGO, June IA north-bound sub
urban train on the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St Paul road ran into the Chicago river to-
night at Kinzie street. Six men were hurt
but it is not expected that any of them
will die Following is a list of the injured
Frank .Goshorn, brakeman, hurt about
side and arms.
Frank G. Cleveland, engineer, hole torn
William E. Stevens, fireman, hurt in side
and arms
George Upchurch, passenger. bruised in
side
j. NJ Merkely bruised about chest.
Unknown man, hurt in chest ana signify
injured.
The train, which consisted of the engine
and two cars, the first being a combination
smoking and baggage car and the second
a regular passenger coach, left the depot
at $50 and five minutes later the engine
and first car were under the surface of the
Chicago river The railroad crosses the
river at Kinzie street, which is not over
one-auarter of q mile north of the depot
and the train was consequently moving
slowly. But for this fact the entire train
must have gone into the river and the loss
of life been heavy as the passenger coach
which did not go in contained about thirty
passengers. The trains always stop an in
stant before going upon the bridge, and to-
night Engineer Cleveland came to a stop
about two hundred feet south of the bridge
The lights were all right, signaling that the
draw was closed and he started up again.
In a minute he saw through the darkness
the shape of the bridge standing open and
made desperate efforts to stop the train.
1t was too late, however, and the engine
plunged into the open draw, dragging with
it the first car,
The accident, according to James Har-
rington, the bridge tender, was due entirely
to the arrangement of the lights on the
bridge A large hexagon light is used, one
half the lights being red, one-half white.
Harrington said that he had opened the
bridge for the passage of tug with mud
scow, and was just swinging the bridge
shut when the train came on. He claimed
that the engineer haa caught an oblique
glance at the light instead of look full
at it's face and said that in either case the
light would, from the track on which the
engine was coming show white. he easily
proved his case by swinging the brldge INTO
the position it occupies when the tram ran
over the edge and the accident seems 10
have been caused entirely by the light.
The tracks are not more than TOUR Ieet
above the surface of the water and the fall
was not great About fifteen people, IN
Gliding the trainmen, were carried INTO the
water but all were rescued without dltn-
Guilty.

M,KlNLEYs MESSAGE.
Remarks of the President on Trans
mittimg the Treaty to the Senate.

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Following is
the full text of the message sent to the
Senate yesterday by President Mckinley,
accompanying the Hawaiian treaty:
ITO the Senate of the United States:
4 transmit herewith to the Senate in Or
der that, after due consideration, the con-
stitutional question of advice and consent
may be exercised by that body, a treaty for
the annexation of the republic of Hawaii
to the United States, signed in this capital
by the plenipotentiaries of the parties on
the 18th (June) inst. For the better under
standing of the subject transmit in addi-
tion a report of the secretary of state,
briefly reviewing the negotiation which has
led to this important result.
The Incorporation of the Hawaiian
islands into the body polite of the United
states is the necessary and lifting sequel
early period of our history, has controlled
the intercourse and prescribed the associa-
tion of the United States and the Ha-
waiian islands. The predominance of Amer
lean interests in that neighboring locality
was first asserted in 1920 by sending to the
islands a representative agent of the United
signature of a treaty of friendship, COM
merce and navigation with the king in 1876
the first international compact negotiated
by Hawaii 1t was signally announced in
1S43, when the Intervention of the United
States caused the British government TO
disavow the seizure of the Sandwich islands
by British naval commander, and 10 rec
ognize them by treaty as an Independent
state, renouncing forever any purpose of
annneXing the islands or eXerting a pro-
tectorate over them.
In 1851 the cession of the Hawaiian king
dom TO the United States was formally Of
fered, and, although not then accepted, this
government proclaimed its duty 10 preserve
alike the honor and dignity of the United
States and the safety of the government of
the Hawaiian islands. From this time until
the outbreak OF the war. in 1861 the policy
of the United States toward Hawaii and of
the Hawaiian sovereign toward the United
States was exemplified by continued nego-
tiations for annexation or for a reserved
commercial union. The latter alternative
was at length accomplished by the reciproc-
ity treaty of 1915, the provisions Of which
We're renewed and expanded by the con-
vention of 1854, embracing the perpetual
cession to the United States of the harbor
of Pearl river, in the island of Oahu.
in 1888 a proposal for the joint guar
anty of the neutrality of the Hawaiian
islands with the United States, Germany
and Great Britain was declined on the
announced ground that the relation OF the
United States TO the islands was sufficient

NegOtiationS and scope of the Treaty

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Accompanying
the message and treaty was the following
report from Secretary Sherman addressed
to the President:

for submission 10 the senate, slouIu ~ ps
deemed for the public interest," TO DO So q
treaty signed in the city or w Washington on
the 18th inst by the undersigned ana by
the duly empowered representatives of the
republic of Hawaii, whereby the islands
constituting the said republlc ana an thelr
dependencies are fully and absolutely ceded
to the United States of America forever.
1T does not seem necessary 10 the pres
ent purpose of the undersigned 10 review
the incident of 1888 when a similar treaty
of cession was signed on FEB. IA ana sup
mtted to the Senate. being subsequently
withdrawn by the President on the 9th or
March following. The negotiation Whlcn
has eliminated in the treaty now submitted
has not been a mere resumption or the ne
gotiation of 1888 but was initiated ana mas
been conducted on independent lines. Ihen,
an abrupt revolutionary movement had
brought about the dethronement OF the
late Queen and set up, instead or the mere
tofore titular monarchy, a provisional gov
ernment for the control and management or
public affairs and the protection or the pub
lice peace; such goyernment 70 ooItihue 1,li IN ~
United States should have been agreed on:
Thus self-promoted. its promoters claimed
for it only a defacto existence until the
purpose Of annexation in which 1t took
rise should be accomplished.
AS time passed and the plan of union
with the United States became an uncer-
tain contingency the organization of the
Hawaiian commonwealth underwent neces-
sary changes; the temporary character of
it's first government gave place to per-
manent scheme under a constitution framed
by the representatives of the electors OF
the islands; administration by an executive
council not chosen by suffrage but self-ap-
pointed, was succeeded by an elective and
parliamentary regime and the ability of the
new government TO hOld-as the republic Of
Hawaiian independent place in the family
of sovereign states, preserving order al
home and fulfilling international obligations
abroad has been put to the proof.
