| WASHINGTON. March 9.-Acting in
accordance with the instructions of the
| Committee on Foreign Relations, SEN
| ator Davis to-day moved an executive
| session of the Senate for the purpose
| Of taking up the Hawaiian annexation
! treaty. After some amendments had
] been considered ne moved that the
treaty be taken up, and that the Sem
ate should proceed to the consideration
| of the amendment offered by Senator
! Bacon providing for the submission d
the treaty TO a vote of the electors OF
Hawaii. This amendment is as fol-
| lows:
THAT this Act shall not be operative
and of binding effect upon either the.
United States or the Republic of Ha-
waii until the same shall have been
consented to and approved by the ma
jority OF the voters voting at an cleo
ton to be held in the Hawaiian Islands,

Senator Bacon objected to immediate
consideration of his amendment, say
ing he had not had notice Of intention
of the committee to have ii taken ap
at this time, ana that he desired some
opportunity to prepare himself for the
presentation Of the reasons for sub
mitting the treaty to a popular vote

to say in a general way that he thought
the fIawaiians should be consulted in
a matter which concerned them 50
deeply as the complete change Of their
Government, and to show that they
were opposed to annexation he referred
to a petition protesting against an
nexation which had been signed by
10000 natives of the islands and which
he said had been presented to the SEN
ate by Senator Hoar He referred to
the Massachusetts Senator's attitude
| in reference to the treaty, and said
| that it must have changed since his
presentation of this petition.
This remark brought Senator Hoar
to his feet with declaration that there
was nothing inconsistent between the
presentation Of the petition and his
support OF the treaty.
5 Senator Bacon then asked for addi-
tional time. and also put the question
to Senator Davis whether it was the
Intention Of the Committee on Foreign
Relations to press the treaty to vote.
To this inquiry Davis replied that he
was not prepared To say what course
the coremittee would pursue with re-
gard to vote on the treaty beyond
the fact that they did not want to de-
prive Senator'S who might wish to
speak of an opportunity of doing SO.
lie also said that while ne was willing
to submit TO what appeared to be the
popular desire that the Senate should
adjourn after the passage of the $50
0o00e9 defense bill he would again
tomorrow, if opportunity offered. move
an executive session of the Senate for
the purpose Of going on with the treaty
and that he would pursue these tactics
from day to day or as far as would
permit.
The Senate then adjourned until to-

haps fatally wounded Win B. Davis of
st. Clair, Pa, at Millersville to-day and
then killed himself.
The boys were pupils of Pierce's
Business College at Philadelphia and
went TO Milersville Saturday to call
upon two lady students a the Normal
School there. They returned to the
village last night about 10 o'clock and
securing a room at Hoaks Hotel re-
tired Immediately. Early this morning
the inmates Of the place We're startled
by a fusillade of pistol shots, and a
moment later Davis came running
down stairs with blood gushing from
several wounds in his face. Another
shot was heard, followed by the sound
of a body falling to the floor. Davis
ran into the barroom, exclaiming. My
chum shot me-
Davis was in bed when Gehrig, who
was walking about the room. drew a
pistol and fired three times in quick
succession at Davis. Those who
rushed TO the room where the tragedy
occurred found Gehrig lying on the
floor with a bullet hole in his left tenn
pie. He died without regaining con-
sciousness. A note written by Gehrig
was found, explaining the tragedy, as
follows:
we are dead in love with Alice Cum
mings and Annie Holmes. and not be-
ing able 10 see them, and they keeping
away from Us. we resolved to take our
lives. My name is Poy Gehrig of Mil
ton, Pa. and the little fellow is Will
lam Davis of st. Clair. Please notify
our parents at once We would like to
be 'cremated, so notify our parents at
once"
Davis says he knows nothing of the
note, snd denies there is any compact
20 commit suicide.
From what can be learned it seems
that Cehrig, who was introduced TO
the ladies' by Davis. was desperately
in love with Miss Cummings, and that
he and Davis had dispute over her.
Gehrig then, it is supposed, decided to
kill DAVIS and take his own life TO
MAKE the affair appear like a double
suicide. They We're each about 10
years old.
PHILADELPHIA. March O. = At
Pieroe's College it was stated that
Gehrig left the school for good on
