TREATY NOT ABANDONED IN THE
SENATE.
Foreign Affairs Committee Debating
the Best Policy-Bark Mohican
Brings Dispatches to March 4th.

The bark Mohican arrived from San
Francisco soon after noon, after a
smart voyage of twelve days from San
Francisco. Through the courtesy of
Captain Saunders The Star received
San Francisco papers of March 3rd
and 4th.
Captain Saunders says that the
Senate has not taken any action on
the Hawaiian annexation treaty, as
stated in the dispatches that arrived
from the Orient yesterday. The de-
bate on Cuba and the Maine disaster
has taken up all the time of the Sena-
tors. The following dispatch of re-
cent date, states briefly the situation
in Washington at the present time:
"WASHINGTON, March 2.-The
Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs
decided today that a special meeting
of the committee should be held next
Saturday for the purpose of consider
ing the best course to be pursued in
the future with relation to the annexa-
tion of Hawaii. The decision grew out
of suggestion that the treaty of an
neXation should be abandoned and the
question taken up in the Senate on the
basis of a bill providing for the same
end.
'Some members of the committee
We're not present at today's meeting,
and it was agreed that the question
should be considered by meeting to
be devoted wholly to this question"

THE MAUI MURDERERS EMBRACE
RELIGION.
Nashida and Sagata Tsunikichi Under
Sentence of Death Seek the Hope
of Eternal Life

Noshida and Sagata Tsunikichi. the
two japanese murderers from Maui,
will go to the gallows Christians. Both
have made confessions of faith and
await their doom, buoyed up by the
consultations of religion.
Since their confinement in the Oahu
prison. Rev. II. Kihara. the pastor Of
the Japanese Methodist church, has
visited them frequently, and through
his ministrations they have both en-
braced the Christian religion.
They are to be hanged Friday,
March 25th, between the hours of 0
and o'clock in the forenoon. This
will be the first double execution
under the Republic. Both men are
kept under a strict death watch, which
is never relaxed day or night. They
spend their time largely in reading.
Their inability to speak English read
lily prevents them from carrying on
much conversation with their guards,
but since they have been under sem
tence and the death watch they have
learned enough so as to be able to un-
derstand and be understood on simple
subjects. The tediousness of waiting
with nothing to do and so little to
occupy their minds, seems to have
stimulated their faculty for under
standing an unfamiliar language.
The visits they receive from their
spiritual adviser, and the infrequent
visits from others are among the few
relaNations they have from the de-
pressing wait for approaching doom.
Now that they have embraced re-
ligion they are much less gloomy than
they were. Their physical health is
very good. They suffer mostly from
lack Of exercise, which under the cir
cumstances, is necessarily limited.
Yoshida was convicted at the De-
cember term Of the Maui Circuit Court
of the murder of a Japanese woman,
Oyasu. the wife of Irie.
Sagata was convicted of the murder.
at Wailuku, last July. of his wife and
child. He had endeavored to sell his
wife for $75, and she to escape being
sold, had run away.

every night with his bicycle song. He
never failed to bring down the house
when he reached the verse telling
about the good qualities of the Sterl-

ready to hear a good word said about
these wheels, and heartily encored the
singer each night. The song was al

MRS. WATSON'S SUGAR STOCK
CLAIMS.
She VIII Bring Suit Against Her Fa-
ther for About Half Million of Ac-
cumulated Dividends.

1t now transpires that the suit to
recover the block of land in Honolulu
on which the William G. Irwin and
other buildings are located, is not the
only action Mrs. Emma SprecllelS
Watson will bring against her father
Claus Spreckels. on her return from
the Orient. She has a claim against
him for about half million dollars
for accumulated dividends on sugar
stock.
Several years ago it is alleged Claus
Spreckels transferred a Dig block of
dividend paying sugar and other stock
and bonds, to his daughters name. As
her father and friend he collected the
dividends. He always told her that
he was accumulating them for her.
Whenever she asked him for money
he gave it to her, but told her it was
a present to her. and was not charg-
ed against her accumulating divi-
dends.
After her marriage to Thomas Wat
son and the consequent bitter es-
trangement of her father. he taunted
her with the charge of unfilial con-
duct and referred to the gifts of mon
ey and property he had made to her.
Stung by these reproaches, which she
believed undeserved. she told him in
her anger that she would not keep
any of them. He at once gave his at
torney instructions to draw up recon-
veyances of them to himself, and they
were sent to her at Ter hotel in the
absence of her husband and she
signed them. They were never pre-
sented to her husband for his sigma
ture, it being thought very unlikely
that he would sign them. Among these
cOnveyances was one of this block of
sugar stock. She signed it. and under
the laws of California it is considered
good.
But the conveyance was of the stool;
alone and not of the accumulated div
idends which are said to amount to
100000. These were accumulated
while she owned the stock. and she
claims them. AS soon as she returns
home, a suit for an accounting for
these dividends is probable.
AS to the land in Honolulu it was
conveyed to Mrs. Watson in 1892. Just
after her marriage she signed a power
of attorney to William G. Irwin to re-
convey it to her father, which he did.
Her husband, however, did not join in
this instrument. The claim of her
right to its ownership is based on the
section of the Hawaiian laws which
provides that though a married wom-
an shall have full control of the prop
erty that belonged to her before her
marriage, she cannot sell or mortgage
real estate WI .hout the written consent
of hey husband.
Mr.. and Mrs. Watson are now in ia
PAN They expect to go to China, In
dia and Egypt, and reach San Fran
cisco next June.

AEMAIO OF MONARCHY ANOTHER SPRREEGlS SUIT WILL DIE CHRISTIANS
\ MOSS GROWN CLAIM IN THE
SENATE.
1t is Summarily Disposed of-Ques-
tions Involved in the Proposed Loan
Bill are Discussed


A memento of the Monarchy came
up in the Senate in the shape of liv-
cry bill of $25 for carrying the band
( around on New Years Day, 1893. The
Senate refused to receive it, in eject
referring it to the Monarchy for pay
ment.
The morning session was largely td-
ken up with a consideration of House
Bill No. /, providing for suspending
sentence in certain cases.
The Judiciary Committee reported.
giving history of the practice of sus-
pending sentence, the Supreme Court
decision holding that Police or Dis
. trict Magistrates had not the power
to suspend sentences. and the conse-
quent introduction of this bill to 1e-
galize it. The Committee expressed
doubts of its constitutionality because
it was in effect a pardoning power
which is given by the Constitution eX-
clusively to the President and the
Council of State. No recommendations
were made.
Attorney General Smith presented
the reasons why the act was desirable.
In the practical administration of JUS
tice there were many cases where the
accused was undoubtedly guilty, but
was not criminal at heart. In such
cases it was the duty of the Magis-
trate to find them guilty, but the ends
of justice and the good of the indivd-
ual would be best served by a suspen-
sion of sentence.
The bill passed second reading and
will be read third time tomorrow.
The questions involved in the pro-
posed loan bill came up for discussion.
The point was whether Senate Bill No
4, making Departmental appropria-
tions, should be taken up. This bill
has been delayed because some of the
public improvements for which it
provides will probably come out of
the loan bill.
Senate Act No. 3, making appropria-
tions for unpaid bills and deficiencies
was passed on second reading as it
came from the Committee on Revision
and Enrolment. 1t appropriates the
sum of $S4,215.17.

the following House Bills, which were
passed second reading: Atkinson's

Senator Browns opium bill was re-
ferred to Special Committee of five,
and the bill to provide the Oahu Rail
way with land for wharves to spe-
cial Committee of three.
Senator McCandless gave notice that
he would introduce bill providing
( for the setting part of public land for
IA park at Olaa.
Senator Brown, from the judiciary
committee, reported on the Presi-
dents message, relative to joint reso-
lutions. The Committee arrived at the
same conclusions as the President.
The report was referred to the Joint
Committee on Rules, which is to meet
soon. At that meeting it is expected
rule will be framed providing for
concurrent resolutions, which differs
from Joint Resolutions, not being re-
quired to be signed by the President.
This will meet the class of cases
which brought out the Presidents
message.
The Senate adjourned until tomor-
row out of respect to the bereavement
sustained by Senator Schmidt.
