To the Senate of the United States: I,
Liliuokalani, of Hawaii, named heir ap-
parent on the 10th day Of April, 1877,
and proclaimed queen Of the Hawaiian
islands on the Goth day of January, 1891,
do hereby earnestly and respectfully
protest against the assertion of owner
ship by the United States Of America Of
the so-called Hawaiian crown lands,
amounting to about 1000, 900 acres, and
which are my property, and I especially
protest against such assertion Of owner
ship as taking of property without due
process of law and without just or other
compensation.
Therefore, supplementing my protest
of June Z, 1897, call upon the presi-
dent and the national legislature, and
the people of the United States to do
justice in this matter and to restore to
me this property, the enjoyment of
which is being withheld from me by
your government under what may be
the misapprehension of my right and
title.

Story of the Assassination OF President
Heurreaux Denied.
PARIS, Dec. 21.-A dispatch from
Cape Haytien received here says that it
is rumored that the Dominican presi-
dent, Ulysses Heurreaux, has been as
sassinated while attending a christen-
ing, incognito.
General Ulysses Heurreaux has been
president of the republic Of San Do
mingo for about 10 years. He is Hay
tien, about So years of age and a fine
type, physically, of the West Indian
negro. While in Office, he has become
immensely wealthy and has several
manufacturing monopolies, notably that
of soap; the importation of which is
practically impossible. Several insur-
rections have takeu place with the idea
of overthrowing President Heurreaux,
but he has succeeded in putting them
all down, shooting leaders very often
without trial.
In the early part of June last, it was
also reported that General Heurreaux
had been assassinated during a revolu.
ton in San Domingo.

His inquiries revealed a terrible state
Of affairs in town.
At least &c, 600 people are practically
destitute, living in horrible novels, and
afflicted with all kinds of loathsome
disease. Medical attention is needed
before even food, and the segregation Of
those suffering from contagious CON-
plants is imperative. Yellow fever is
rampant in the lower part Of the city.
These cases are without medical at
tention and the first task of the new ad-
ministration will be to remove the sick
and burn their present habitations.

TERRE HAUTE FIRE.

Leading Wholesale and Retail Stores OF
the Indiana Town Are Destroyed.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Dec. 21.-The
worst fire in the history of this city took
place during the night, causing loss of
nearly 81, 100000. The blaze started in
the big show windows Of the Havens &
;Geddes company, wholesale and retail
dealers in dry goods and notions. The
cause is not definitely known, but it is
supposed that live electric wire set
fire othe cotton with which the win
dow was decorated. The following
firms are the losers: Havens & Geddes
company, 100000; Breinig & Miller,
fnrszsDtss saE QUO; Pixley e. CO., $780, :
600; Te1re Haute Shoe company, $780,
600; Albrecht & Co., retail dry goods,
$75O,0OO; United States Baking COM
pany, $4,000; Thorman & Schloss,
clothiers, $5O,oo0.
There were a number Of small con-
Germs which were utterly annihilated in
the fall Of the rear wall Of the Havens
& Geddes wholesale house and the loss
in their case will more than bring the
total losses up to the $4,000, 900 mark.
Number of People Injured.
The fire started about $3.50 o'clock
when half the employees of the establish
ment were at their homes for supper.
There is force of 800 or more in the re-
tail department of the establishment,
and had the entire force been present
the loss of life would have been fright
full. AS it is Kate Maloney, a clerk in
the notion department, is lying at the
point of death. She sprang from win
dow in the second story. Luella Fergu-
son, clerk in the same department.,
also jumped but was caught by some
men who were watching for her. She
is internally injured, but will recover.
Louis Kramer, the trimmer who was in
the show window when the blaze
started, is frightfully burned about the
head and arms. Firemen Austerloo.
Walsh and Shay were badly injured by
the falling Of floor in the Albrecht
building and are now in the city hos
pital The Indianapolis fire brigade
sent over wagon and engine on spe-
cial train which made the distance be-
tween Indianapolis and Terre Haute-

Question Of Final Disposition Of the Phil
ippines VIII Be ePostponed-House Work
Advanced - Unprecedented Progress
Made In Disposing of Appropriation
Bills-Four of the Thirteen Regular
Measures Already Pass That Body.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-It is now
probable that the treaty of peace will be
taken up for discussion by the senate
early in January. Already there is talk
Of the possibility Of disposing of the
treaty during the present session and
the impression favorable to the result ia
growing. A few senators manifested a
disposition to debate the subject at
length and some expressed undivided
opposition, but the feeling is strong
against an extra session and in favor Of
the postponement of the settlement of
the disposition of the Philippines after
they come into our possession that it
now seems that even the minority will
consent to the treaty's ratification with
out material delay.
VIII Reply to Senator Vest.
The debate in the senate will be
opened with speech by Senator Platt
of Connecticut on the question Of ex-
pansion. Mr.. Platt will reply to the
speech of Senator Vest made last Mon
day, and, as he has given much attention
tothe extension of our territorial area, no
little interest is manifest among sena-
tors in his presentation Of the matter.
It is not improbable, unless the Mica
raguan canal bill prevents, that the
speech will precipitate a more or less
general debate upon this question.
Whether it does or not, a number OF
speeches on the same subject will be
made after the Christmas holidays,
preparatory to the consideration Of the
peace treaty.

ON CHRISTMAS DAY.

Judge Day Expects to Deliver the Treaty
to the President Then.
SOUTHAMPTON, Eng, Dec. 19.-To the
interviewers who besieged the Ameri-
can peace commissioners before they
sailed for New York on board the Amer
ican line steamer st. Louis, the commits
sioners said they could not discuss the
terms Of the treaty of peace with Spain.
Whitelaw Reid and Judge Day, were
much interested in the interview Of the
Manila correspondent with Rear Ad-
miral Dewey, but they would not dis
cuss either that matter or the protest
made by Agoncillo, the representative
of Aguinaldo. Judge Day said the
treaty of peace would probably be de-
livered to President Mckinley on Dec.
25, but, he added, it was impossible to
say whether it would be presented to
the present senate or. to that which
comes into Office March 4, next. This,
the judge added, is matter which the
president will decide.
