Fitz Lees hodesty.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Gcn. Fitz-
hugh Lee to-day declined the honor of
the reception rendered him. When
the committee waited upon him to-day
to receive his final decision he began
his speech Of d%cclinatiou in a charac-
t%eristio tanner: look here, boys"
he said in a matter-of.fact tone. 81
haven't done a thing that either one
of you. or any American citizen, would
not have done, and I don't sec why
there should be any fuss made about
it. Now, | don't want you to think I

have studied over the matter and feel
satisfied that it would be better not to
have the reception. | do not for an
instant want anybody to think that |
wish to put myself forward, and I
must decline your kind offer"
One of Gen. Lees most intimate
friends said that one reason for his
not wanting the reception was that he
recognized the fact that BIO occupied
an official position and felt a hesitancy
in accepting any formal dcmonstra-
tion on this account.

comb, one of the members of the Re-

and an active lieutenant of Senator
Hanna in the recent senatorial contest
before the legislature, is authority for
the statement that the Bushnell and
Kurtz forces are marshaled for another
battle.
Delegates to the next Republican

Mr.. Holcomb says he has evidence to
show that Mayor McKisson will try to
capture the county convention and that
the Bushnell and Kurtz men will do
the same thing the state over.
With the state convention in their
hands the alleged plan is to endorse the
action Of the Republicans who bolted

condemn the election Of Senator Hanna

Half the Natives Favor Annexation.
SAN FRANCISCO, March l4.-Benjamin
Cuff, Jr., president Of the Brigham
Young academy of Provo, Utah, re-
turned from visit to the Hawaiian
Islands, where he went at the solicita-
ton Of United States Senator Frank J.
Cannon, to determine the status of the
annexation sentiment among the Ha-
waiian Islands. He speaks the Kanaka
language fuently, and has made a
thorough canvass among the native
islands Of Oahu, Maui and Hilo. He
says: {; $: ":F:+ ~
"As a result Of my investigation, I
would say that probably one-half of
the intelligent natives of the islands
are pronounced advocates of annexa-
ton. Or the remaining half, would
say tho great majority are, primarily,
in favor of the restoration OF the mon
archy and, secondly, they much prefer
annexation to the United States to a
continuation of the present govern
ment.'

ASKS A MARGINAL PRICE.
Letter Makes Request of the Chicax,

Letter Makes Request of the Chicago
Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, March l4.-Allen, Grier,
Seeler & Co., the chief brokers for
Joseph Letter, made formal application
to the board of directors of the Chicago
board of trade, for the fixing of mar.
ginal price on May wheat contracts.
This action, it is believed, arises from
the requests for margins which were
made on Letter by the bear contingent,
amounting in some instances, accord
ing to Letter, to rs cents a bushel.
The biggest sale of cash wheat that has
yet been made by Letter was to Coun-
selman & Day, who purchased an even
2,CO0, 900 bushels. What the price for
this enormous lot was could not be
learned, Mr.. Letter merely stating that
it was made at ''market price" This
makes a total Of 100000 bushels of
the Letter contract grade wheat dis.
posed of. The trade had no intimation
of the sale until after the close of the
session.
