senator Fairbanks's Appointment.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON July 1.-THE appoint
ment of Senator Fairbanks as chairman of
the American wing of the joint commission
to inquire into and report a basis of settle
ment for the innumerable disputed ques-
tions between this country and Canada is
a surprise to the public, though not to the
senator's immediate friends. The place was
rendered to him Immediately after the pas
sage of the act providing for the
commission. At that time he felt that
he could not, in justice to himself,
accept the honor, with the close
study and hard work involved, and he de-
clined. He already had his work for the
summer and fall cut out and his programme
fully arranged. The President accepted the
declination with regret, but later again
urged the appointment on his friend from
Indiana. He presented the case with such
earnestness that Senator Fairbanks yielded
and consented to face the hardest work of
his life. The commission will begin its sit
tings on the first of August and continue
them for an indefinite period.
The American commissioners present
strong aggregation, though the President is
disappointed over his inability to command
the services of Senator German, who at the
last minute was obliged to decline appoint
ment, not feeling equal to the strain. Col.
Foster and Representative Dingley are
probably better acquainted with the merits
of many of the pending disputes than their
associates, but it will not be long before
the distinguished quintet will be keeping
perfect step. The place to which Senator
Fairbanks has been called is the most i'm
portant, historically considered, that he has
yet held

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Ex-Queen Lii
iuokalani and her suite left Washington for
Honolulu this evening. She has been away
from Hawaii for nineteen months. Contrary
to the common understanding, the deposed
queen is a rich woman in her own right.
Besides the crown lands amounting 10
about 100000 acres, it is said, to which she
has shadowy title, she has very valuable
sugar estates near Honolulu which are
rented at figures which yield her a hand
some income. She is unsettled as 10 what
claim she will make for indemnity for the
seizure of crown lands by the Dole govern
ment. She appears to be in a very COM
Portable frame of mind and is not in an ag-
gressiye mood at all.
The War Department will at once begin
laying a cable between this country and
Honolulu. 1t will probably be completed
before the end of the current year.

Many Subscribers Evidently Desire to
Speculate.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-About 50 per
cent of the applicants for the war loan to
whom bonds will be allotted specify that
they want coupon bonds. This is construed
at the Treasury Department to mean that
large proportion of the subscriptions are for
speculative purposes That is to say, they
are subscribed for with the expectation of
finding a sale later on. About $50, 900 of
the new war loan is subscribed for in
blocks of s., OOO This round figure seems TO
have been immensely popular and only
small percentage of those who subscribed
for that amount will get their bonds A
great many shrewd people. anticipating
division at the 5000 line, put in applications
for $49S0 and for sums between $4,000 and
bonds. A cut of the battle ship Maine has
been engraved on the face Of the new bonds.

Wreck of q Chinese Cruiser.

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL. July 1s.-Details
Of the sinking of the Chinese cruiser Flu
Ching, off Port Arthur. on June 9. confirm
previous reports that the crew OF 100 men
were drowned, only the chief officer and
three sailors escaping. The vessel was driv-
en- on shore by strong wind. The crew
sought refuge in the rigging. Men from the
war ships in the harbor tried to save the
sailors of the Fu-Ching by firing rockets
with lines attached, but the Chinese did
not know how to use the lines that reached
them The sea was too rough to permit
the use OF boats and in a few hours the
cruiser was total wreck, nearly all the
crew perishing.
The Dutch steamer Smit. Captain Karst,
was lost on June g. off the Corean coast.
The crew, consisting of seventeen Euro
peans, four Chinese with seven Chinese SUI
percargoes, took to the ships three boats
and the water being smooth, landed with
little difficulty. They have since gone to
Nagasaki.
