FIFTY-NINE SENATORS IN FAVOR
OF HAWAIIAN TREATY.
1t Was Taken Up By Senate in Executive
Session erday-Overwhelming Vote

Only Question Discussed.

Session acknowledgements Ginning Vote
in Favor of Secret sessions-That the
Only Question Discussed.
Washington, January Ex-senator
Davis, chairman of the Senate committee
on foreign relations, brought up the sub
iect of the ratification Of the Hawaiian
annexation treaty in the Senate today.
His motion was made soon after the dis
posal of the routine business and for the
remainder of the days session except the
time given to the confirmation OF nonllna-
tions, was devoted to the discussion Of
the question as 30 whether the treaty
should be considered in open session or in
executive session. After debate OF al
most two hours upon this point, an in
formal vote wassstaken. The decision was
overwhelmingly against an open session.
The motion for open sessions was mado
by Senator Gray Of Delaware. Senator
Davis replied to Mr. Gray oontending for
the observance of the precedent in this
matter and objecting quite strenuously to
the proposition that the Senate should
take the public into its confidence in con-
sidering the treaty. He took issue with
Mr.. Gray on the statement that no gen.
eraI questions were involved affecting
our diplomatic relations with other
countries, and predicted that the dis
cussion would take wide range.
Speeches in favor of the Gray resolution
were made by Senators White, Cafferey,
Mason and Morrill, and in opposition by
Senators Morgan, Spooner and others.
Senator Morgan talked at length upon
the importance of observing the Senate
rules in discussing this question.
Senator White spoke spiritedly and in
sarcastic vein of the folly Of attempting
to keep executive secrets within the con-
troll Of the Senate. He said that the treaty
itself had been made public as had also
the Presidents message upon the subject.
Senator Morrill, contended that the
question of annexation was ono of much
public interest and said that on this &C
count the public should be fully informed
of the reasons for or against annexation.
Senator Mason made q speech directed
generally against executive session.
Senator Davis announced his purpose to
call up the treaty again tomorrow and
press it as rapidly as possible.
The annexationists now claim fifty
nine votes for the treaty. lacking only one
of the number needed to ratify it. On the
other hand the opposition say the ratifiers
y II fall short from three to i've votes.

MISSING sCHOONERS ARE HUSTLER
AND JOHN M'KENZIE.
Hustler Was Last Heard From October IL
and is Believed to Have Foundered in a
Gale-The Mckenzie Left Gloucester
Twelve Weeks Ago and May Have Been
Run Down by an Ocean Steamer-List
of the Victims.

Gloucester, Mass, January 10.-After
hoping against hope that the passing
days might bring some tidings of the
overdue schooners Hustler and John b.
Mckenzie, the owners have been reluct-
lantly and sorrowfully forced to the con-
clusion that the vessels have foundered
and that the crews of Sc hardy and yig-
orous men have perished. So today te-
came the sad duty of the owners of the
two vessels to publish the crew lists.
The Hustler was owned by James E.
Tarr and brother, and left here August
26 to engage in the bank cod fishery un-
der command of Capt. Alexander j. Nc
Fadden, a highly capable captain. On
the sth of October the Hustler put into
Harbor Maine, n. F., and procured
supply of bait. Capt. MoFadden wrote
home that he had 140 tubs Of fish on
board and would return to the southern
part of the banks to complete his trip.
Since leaving Harbor Maine absolutely
no tidings of the vessels have been re-
ceived, and it is thought that she foun-
dered in the great gale which swept the
Grand Banks on October 20, and which
created such havoc among the fishing
feet. The Hustler was staunch craft
of 92 II tons. built at Essex in 1899, val
ued at $1,000 and insured for 81, All on the
vessel and Sl700 on the outfits. She car
ried crew of 1S men, two OF wnom lGn were were
married and the owners state that they
were as fine set of young men as they
ever had in one vessel The official and
correct crew list furnished by the own
ers is as follows:

single, Port Hastings.
John D. Morrison, cook, so, widow and
nine children, River Inhabitants, z. b.
John A. Mcdonald, single, Soursis, T.

Not the least Of the startling evidence
of the morning was the discovery that the
fjend had attempted to cover up traces OIL
his crime by setting fire to the building.
In the she'd adjoining the houss was a
nile of wood, which had been thoroughly
saturated M with kerosene. The cat stood
near by, while lamp. which apparently
had been blown out by draft of wind
leaned against this inflammable material.
The many little details which 1t Is
hoped will lead to definite clue, were
gathered all day by the police. lhey

a light in the Newton house as late as ten

Mrs. Newton, said the physician, also
met her death by the blows OF the axe,
and both of these were on the top OF tne
head. near the forehead. Neither, how
ever. was as deep as in the case OF her
husband, but the murderer had for some
reason, turned up the clothes and dealt
two more blows with the same weapon on
the abdomen.
That little Elsie must have been the
last to be killed is the opinion OF the
doctors. for the reason, that while botn
her parents had no warning she must
have held up her hands to stay the blows
for the bones of her right hand were
broken and the hand out. She, too, re-
ceived two blows on the head with the
axe and she was furthor muuiatsu py
gashes in the abdomen.
The physicians were able to state that
the murderer had confined himself to kill
ing his victims and had not attempted
to violate their bodies. The bodies, ex-
cent for the wounds described were found
TO be In an abnormal condition and no
bones were broken except In the little
girls hands.
ssWhile the intent of the murderer had
Undoubtedly been robbery it seems as II
he had been but meagrely rewarded. On
the chair by the side of Mr. Newton, hung
his vest, and in this gold watch. 1t was
learned that on Tuesday, Newton went to
Worcester to buy horse, taking his man
Paul, who drove him to the depot AZ
Brookville. He did not make any such
purchase, but he must have had some
hundred or more dollars with hlm ana
have brought it back that night.
MIR. Newton was in comfortable circum-
stances. He had money in the bank, but
kept little in his home. If there was any
at the time of the murder it must have
been from collections.

Soon Constables Fenton and Edward
Franq uer were hurrying to the Newton
farm. By the time these men had arrived
the entire community had been aroused
and farmers were fiocking to the scene OF
the tragedy. DiligenS search was at once
begun for Miller, but no trace OF him
could be found. Many persons spent the
night going from one place to anosner, as..,
with inquiries after the missing farm
hand. but the only clue to his where
abouts came from the very persons who
discovered the crime. VIM. Eaton tolo

The natives of these Jaman villages
had never seen white man before, and
I noticed at first with some surprise
that those of our actions which inter.
ested them most were the simple and
commonplace ones. To such matters al
eating and dressing they gave the clos.
est attention. Every morning when !
emerged from my tent I found q large
audience waiting patiently for the per-
Torrance to begin, and when I took my
place at the washstand q crowd closed
round, forming a large circle. They fol-
lowed the whole process with the great.
est enjoyment, discussing and explain
ing to one another the various details
and now and again raising shouts Of
applause as some peculiarly amusing
feature Of the performance (such as the
uss Of the nailbrush) occurred. When !
produced my toothbrush and proceeded
to put it to it's natural use, there was
much anxious discussion, and when !
brushed my hair up and made it stand
on end they yelled with delight.
As for the opening Of bottle of
champagne, which occurred on one o.
casion after an unusually long march)
