ACTION ON ANNEXATION
HAS BEEN TAKEN BY HAWAIIAN
LEGISLATORS
Ratification of the Treaty Is Expect.
ed to Influence the United States
Senators

NEW YORK, Sept. ia special to
the Herald from Washington says:
The Senate of the National Legislat-
ure of the Republic of Hawaii has by
this time ratified the treaty annexing
the Hawaiian Islands to the United
States.
This assertion was made to your cor
respondent by Mr.. Lorin M. Thurston
charge d'affaires to the United States
Mr.. Thurston said that the Senate of
iae Hawaiian Legislature had been called
to assemble on. September Sth and that
it is unanimous for annexation. He has
no doubt that it has ratified the conven-
ton without dissenting vote.
Both the Senate and House of the Ha-
waiian Legislature are pledged to an
nexation, according to Mr.. ThurstoL.
Just before the adjournment of the two
houses last year, a joint resolution was
adopted declaring it to be the sense Of
the Legislature that the interests of Ha-
wall demanded her annexation to the
United States. This resolution was
adopted unanimously. AS the com
plexion. of the Senate and House has not
changed since the adoption of the resolu-
ton. Mr.. ThursSon has no doubt that
as far as Hawaii is concerned, all the
steps possible have been taken.
EFFECT Oh RATIFICATION
NEW YORK. Sept. 13-It is believed
In administration circles that the effect
of the ratification Of the treaty by the
Hawaiian Senate will be to influence
some of the members Of the United
States Senate, now in the doubtful
column, to vote for the convention next
session. All that Is now necessary is
the approval of that body and it is not
believed that many members will be
willing to shoulder the responsibility Of
defeating annexation and thus throwing
Hawaii into the hands of Japan.
The authorities would naturally be
pleased to have the controversy between
Hawaii and Japan settled, because such
settlement would tend to remove any
objection which might be entertained by
Senators to bringing into the Union a
nation which has diplomatic differences
with any country. 1t is their opinion,
however, that the matter will not be ad-
judicated until after annexation is ac-
complished.

THE LUETGERT CASE
A Jurors Illness Puts Stop to the
Proceedings

CHICAGO, Sept. 13-The fourth week
Of the Luetgert trial commenced today
with the cross-examination of Prof. G.
V. Bailey, and the attorney was soon in
volved in dispute with the witness
which called for the interference Of the
court. The professor startled Attorney
Vincent by stating that he had discov-
cred six sesamS1d bones in a single
hand while a student at the University
of Paris. The attorney declared that
surgical history contained no reference
to more than two sesamoids upon hand
or foot. The witness admitted that he
knew that, and asserted that he had
kept the discovery secret because he was
writing book upon the subject. He
was granted until tomorrow in which to
examine some sesamoids handed to him
by defendants attorney. AT 1870 Juror
Fowler was taken suddenly sick and
court adjourned.

While the Topeka was lying at the wharf

bottles of whisky were found, twenty
four of which were on temporary shelves
