Hawaii Herald tells the correct story
as follows:
1t was difficult to get the exact de-
tails OF the accident as there were sew
eral different stories. Ernest Thrum
was an eye witness to it, and though
his story differs somewhat from the
one told by the boat boys it may be
accepted as correct. From him it is
learned that Kennedy came ashore
early, that is about o'clock, in the
first boat and went Immediately up
the bluff remaining there about a half
hour. Several boat loads of freight
came in while he was away, all the
freight, in fact, except an iron planer
and about 800 fire bricks. The sea

Steerer.
Mr.. Thrum stepped inside the ware
house for a moment, and while there
he heard the men on the wharf shout
a warning to those in the boat This
was because they saw a tremendous
roller coming in. Mr. Thrum ran out
to the landing and saw the boat Ken
nedy was in being forced toward the
rocks on this big roller. Three of the
boat boys had evidently jumped over
board at the first indication of trouble.

One man, the Oarsman, jumped into

WASHINGTON, January 10.-In ac-
cordance with his previous notices,
Senator Davis, chairman of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations.
brought up the subject of the ratifica-
ton of the Hawaiian annexation treaty
in the Senate today. His motion was
made soon after the disposal of the
routine morning business, and the en-
tire remainder of the days session, ex-
cept the time given to the confirmation
of nominations, was devoted to the
consideration of the question as to
whether the treaty should be consider
ed in open session or behind closed

bate of almost two hours upon this
point, an informal vote was taken, the
ayes and noes not being demanded.
The decision was overwhelmingly
against an open session.

WASHINGTON, January 12.-Sena-
tor Davis continued and completed his
speech in the executive session of the
Senate today ON the Hawaiian question,
and was followed by Senator Allen Of
Nebraska, who spoke in opposition.
Senators Davis speech was devoted
largely to presentation Of the stategic
features of annexation. One of the
points brought out with considerable
elaboration was the probable effect on
the Nicaraguan canal Of the occupation
of the Islands by some foreign power.
He also devoted careful attention to
the Importance of controlling Pearl
harbor, now owned by the United
States
Senator Allen called attention to the
distance of Hawaii from the United
States and the necessity of defending
the Islands in case of foreign war. He
deprecated the idea of receiving into
the United States such a population as
that in Hawaii.

MAY Be WEEKS BEFORE A VOTE
News of President DoIe's Coming
Received His Entertainment
Discussed.

WASHINGTON, January 14r-As the
treaty fight progress it becomes more
certain that it will be long drawn out.
The Democratic Senators who have
been quoted as favoring the treaty have
recently withdrawn such statements,
and say simply they are undecided.
From this the members of the Foreign
Relations Committee say they cannot
count upon more than Sc or 81 votes,
and so are depending upon arguments
to give them the two-thirds needed.
This may mean several weeks of talk
ing yet.

department to decide whether Presi-
dent Dole will be made the guest of the
Nation and formally received when
the Peru reaches San Francisco, and
given an escort to the capital, or wheth-
er he shall be received simply as a
distinguished visitor when he reaches
this city. This came up late this aft

ply From Morgan.
WASHINGTON, January 13.-The
Senate did not make great progress
With the Hawaiian annexation treaty
tpday. Several speeches were deliver
cd, but in every instance the speakers
announced that today's remarks were
merely preliminary to what they should
say before the close of the debate.
Senator White insisted upon Senator
Morgan's telling the Senate what part
the kanakas have is giving away their
Islands. There was a spirited colloquy
Morgan gave the history Of the Islands
and their Government, and showed
how there had been from the early
part of the century a desire to secure
the aid of strong nation to insure to
the natives local self-government.
Frye spoke upon the commercial and
military aspects which annexation pre-
sented in favor of the United States.
He devoted considerable time to the
importance of the Nicaraguan canal,
which could not be maintained unless
Hawaii was ours.
From the interest shown in the ma
tives by several Senators, it was de-
veloped that this phase Of the argu-
ment will be closely followed, and will
cut considerable figure when the re-
suit is made up.
What may portend the breaking
away from party lines of the younger
| Democrats took place tonight, when to
| friends, Senator Clay Of Georgia, and
Senator McLarin of South Carolina, an
nounced that the arguments advanced
by the annexationists had caused them
to look with much favor upon the pro-
position to take the Islands, and unless
the opponents made a very strong pre-
sentation, they would vote to ratify
the treaty. To offset these defections
the opposition tonight gave out that
Kenney of Delaware and Smith Of New
Jersey had declared against the treaty.

Previous to the adoption Of the ad-

was Missed down, as We're others Of the
Butler faction.
A bitter discussion then followed on
q motion to proceed with nominations
for president and vice president. The
Butler faction moved to amend by re-
ferring the whole matter to the
national committee. This caused great
disturbance, and the Butler men were
knocked out.
JCGeph Palmer of Illinois, then called
the Butler faction together in another
part Of the hail. and it was announced
that they would bolt and leave the hall

At this juncture the disturbance Of
the small crowd became so fierce that

appeared and requested the assemblage
to vaCate the hall, as he was appre-

The Butler faction, led by Mr.. Palmer,

WILL ATTEMPT FUSION.
Washington PODulists, Democrats
and Silver Republicans

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 6.-The con-
ventions of the Populist Democratic
and Silver Republican parties, to meat
at Ellensburg, Sept. II, will attempt
to nominate a fusion ticket, as was
done two years ago The offices to be
filed at the fall elections are two con-
greSsmen and two members Of the Sd
pTeme court. The fight on fusion is
likely to be bitter for two reasons. The
middle of-the-rOad Populists, who have
strong representation from the country
districts, are unalteraIbly opposed to it,
and the Populist party will probably
demand the supreme judge in the ap-
pOrtionment Of offices. From the pres
ents outlook, if fusion goes through, as
ii probably will, one Of the congress
siOnal nominees will be apportioned to
the Democrats and the other to the
Silver Republicans. If there is full at
tendance, the conventions will number
about 1900 delegates.
The retiring officers are Elmon Scott
