Crown Lands Returned.

Washington, Dec. 2O.-Ex-Queen
LiliuokaIani sent to the senate today
the following protest against the ap-
preparation of the crown lands of
Hawaii by the United States.
ITO the senate of the United States:
Il, Liluokalani, of Hawaii, named
heir apparent on the 18th of April, 1877,
and proclaimed queen of the Hawaiian
islands on the 10th day of January,
1891, do hereby earnestly and respect
fully protest against the adoption of
ownership by the United States, of the
Hawaiian crown lands, amounting to
about 1,000 90 acres, and which are my
property, and 1 especially protest
against such assertion of ownership as
a taking of property without due pro
cess of law and without just or other
compensation.
Further experimenting my protest
OF June II, 1897, l call upon the presi-
dent and the national legislature and
the people of the United States to do
justice in this matter and to restore to
me this property, the enjoyment of
which is being withheld from me by
your government under what must be
misrepresentation of any right and
title

M'KINLEY'S SPEECH CONDEMNED.
G. a. R. Veterans On the Care of Con-
federate Graves.

SomerviIle, Mass, Dec. 2O.-Maior a.
A. Peery, a member of Willard c. Kins-
ley post 1879, G. A. r., has written a
letter to the post, severely condemning
that portion of President McKinley's
address at Atlanta suggesting that it
would be proper for the government
TO assist in care and preservation of
confederate cemeteries.
The letter says: Perhaps it is better
for me TO stay away from the Grand
Army gatherings for a little time, at
least until I recover from the shock of
the statements lately made by Presi-
south and her people and no one re-
joices more than l at the splendid
spectacle of reunited country present
ed during the recent war with Spain.
But I cannot yet believe that it is the
duty of the nation to give the same at
tentiOn to the graves of the men who
sought TO DESTROY it, as the resting
places of those who died for it's preser-
v2tion God forbid that any word
should come from my lips or pen cal
culated to revive the sad memories of
the past. Let US extend the warm hand
of friendship to our southern brothers
Let US give to them ungrudgingly OF
our love But let us not do any act or
approve any policy from which future
generations may infer that the great
American republic, in the closing years
of the nineteenth century, had become
so blind that she could not distinguish
between her saviors and her wouldbs
destroyers"

DREYFUS DEBATE GOES ON.
Proposition to Confer the Franchise
Upon Soldiers.

Paris, Dec. 2O.-The chamber Of dep
uties INDUCED in another Dreyfus de-
bate today Joseph Fourier, Socialist
deputy fer Aisne, moved a resolution
comforting the franchise upon soldisfs{
and demanded urgency for it. He them
proceeded to expound his views, which
provoked a great uproar.
The premier, NJ. Dupuy, replied: I
should have thought that the DreyfuS
affair had already done the country
enough harm. NJ. FOuTnier's new pro-
posal would be most perniciOus. The
country wants and has a devoted army
to safeguard her independence, and we
do not wish to give it's officers the
means Of descending to the forum. We
must rally around the army"
The motion for urgency was then de-
feated by Az votes against 20.
In the senate a stormy session took
place over a bill increasing the penal
ties for espionage and treason. There
were frequent references to DreyfuS.
Eventually the bill, which prescribes
death for state officials who are guilty
of treason in time of peace, was
adopted.
The Courriere du SOir says this even
ing: THE Dreyfus secret dOssier was
handed to the court of cessation this
evening, under the pledge that it
should no the communicated to the
counsel for the defense, or to anyone

Maritime Bill.

Gives the Government Control Of the
Maritime Bill.
Washington, Dec. 2O.-Mr. Hawley Of
Texas today introduced bin to amend
the act Incorporating the Maritime Ca
nal company. 1t has been approved by
majority of the subcommittee of the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce. The bill follows other bills
in MANY particulars. 1t provides that
the secretary of the treasury shall, by
the LIST of July, 1899, subscribe for 925,-
OGO shares of capital stock. When this
is done the offices held by directors of

cept those held by representatives Of
Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The board
shall thereafter consist of eleven di-
rectors, nine of whom are to- be APP
pointed by the president. The Mari
time Canal company shall then, with
the consent of the president, contract
for the construction of the canal.
The work is to be under the superVis-
ion of the government engineer officers
if the president shall so direct. The
company shall pay into the treasury a
sum equal to the salaries of such engi-
neer officers. The company is forbid
den to issue bonds. The president may
negotiate with Costa Rica and Nicara-
qua for any changes in the terms of
concession thought desirable. In con-
sideratiOn of the provisions of this act
the company shall call in and cancel all
the capital stock except that reserved
for Costa Rica and Nicaragua, and
shall redeem all bonds, etc. Five mil
lion dollars is provided to carry out
this provision. To complete the canal

GREAT CROWD AT c. A. R. FAIR.
Drills of Young Ladies Evoke Much

Applause-other Amusements.
Nearly thousand people attended
the second session of the Grand Army
of the Republic fair at the armory of
the national guard last evening. The
features were the drills between the
young lady zouaves and company A.
The young ladies are drilled by Colonel
Ginger, who has the old tactics in mis-
head, the same being simple and easy,
While the work of the national guard
boys is of a more difficult character.
However, both sides did well, exceed,
ingly well. The precision manifested
by the girls was something very pleas
ing, although the short step INDUCED In
has something to do with their sue
cess. Compel the young misses to take
the regulation thirty Inch stride, and
the symmetry Of their movements
would have been destroyed. The mem
bers Of the guard did well, and in their
movements were extremely accurate.
Captain Smith received many well-de-
served congratulations for the exhibit
ton. Both sides We're vigorously APP
plauded for the work.
The exhibition of presents which will
be given away this evening, by lottery.
and the old war relics, was one of
great interest, although an observer
who would have looked at everything
was handicapped by the large crowd
on any one object, the seething crowd
hustled him mercilessly on.
The fair closed last evening with a
free dance which was participated in
by many of the younger people pres

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Conditions of Wheat Market Were In
Favor of the Bears.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-With a weak Liver
pool market and rather liberal local and
northwest receipts to contend with, bulls
in wheat were badly Handicapped at the
opening. Liverpool failed utterly to fol-
low yesterdays advance here, and on the
contrary showed early declines of 1sQ19d,
probably because Of the increase of $780,
coo bushels in the American stocks. Buy
ing orders at the start were very few and
far between. May opened &c lower at
6I14Q6iSs This price prevailed for a short
time while the strength shown by the
coarser grains encouraged buyers and
caused little scattered covering by local
shorts. The total amount bid for was
small, but in the almost stagnant con-
dition of the market it was sufficient TO
cause a reaction in the May price to 675s.
Then the market weakened again All out
side markets were weaker than Chicago.
New YORK reported very slack demand.
The foreign demand had been the big
prop of the market in times of liberal
receipts and reports of this nature had
the effect of cOntrac citing the speculative
demand and prices once more slowly slid
off, and before II 80 May had reached 6I1s.
The selling pressure at no time was
heavy, but there was at times an entire
absence of bids. Bradstreets report of
the worlds visible, showing an increase of
$780, 600 bushels, took away what little
backbone the market had left, and late
trading was all in favor of the bears.
May finally got down to 66Bq67 and
closed at 67G671s.
Corn was rather quiet. but steady. The
feature OF the market was the large di-
rect export business, almost a million
bushels. This and the firm cables and wet
weather made the market very firm at
times. The weakness of wheat and the
rather poor quality of corn receipts ad-
VerSely affected the market later and a
slight advance was lost. May closed a
shade lower.
Oats We're fairly active and irregular
May was firm, early helped by corn and
the wet weather. December was weak,
ana was offered at a cent under May
without takers. 1t was apparent the De-
cember short interest was liquidated
May closed sc lower
The market for provisions was decidedly
narrow. Around the opening some east
ness was shown, hog prices being lower
and packers showing a disposition to
press sales. The strength of corn helped
the market some. Trading was almost at
dropped again, the market being heavy
at the close. May pork closed IN
shade lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

RUSSELL B. HARRISON'S FEAT
SON OF HIS FATHER HOSTS A
FLAG.
Raised the Stars and Stripes Within
Sight Of the Wreck of the Maine
Evacuation of Havana.

Havana, Dec. 20-At noon today Ma
jor Russell B. Harrison, with a de-
tachment of the First North Carolina
regiment, raised the stars and stripes
over Fort Atares, in full sight of the
wreck of the United States battleship
Maine. Major Harrison, as provost of
the Seventh corps, is charged to pre-
serve order in Cerro, Atares and Jesus
del Monte, suburbs of Havana. Two
companies Of the Second Illinois regi-
meat and two of the First North Caro-
lima regiment are doing guard duty.
The Cuban irreconcilables talk of
overturning the queens statue in Cen
trail park, Jan. l. General Green says
that the statue will be taken down,
carefully boxed and offered to Spain,
no indignity being allowed.
Captain General Castellanos Informed
Brigadier General Clous today that the
evacuation of Havana would be COM
plete on or before Jan. l next. Four
teen transports are due to arrive from
Spain during the next ten days. There
are $1,000 Spanish troops still in Ha-
Vana and its environs, but the last few
thousand will embark simultaneously.
Thls information was particularly
agreeable to the Americans because all
Spanish troops who remain here after
Jan. l will have to be protected.
The Eighth and Tenth regular infan-
try regiments have been ordered by the
United States evacuation commission
ers from Quemados, and they will re-
port here for duty tomorrow, under the
command of General Greene All the
seacoast batteries on the west, includ-
ing La Reina, will be occupied by the
American troops by Thursday The
men will camp in tents, with details
to guard the forts.
The Spanish immovable property, ac-
cording to the inventory, is estimated
to be worth about S., 100000 The in
ventory is a huge document, containing
many hundred pages of manuscript,
and gives full details of all the Spanish
property in Cuba.

SIX PERSONS KILLED.
Avalanche overtakes Party On the
Chilkoot Pass.

Ch11kcot RaSS.
Seattle, Wash, Dec 20.-The steamer
All1i, which arrived here today from
Alaska, brings meager particulars of
an avalanche on the Chilkoot Pass, in
which at least six people were killed.
Five bodies have been recovered. as
follows: Mrs. Darling of Lake Linde-
man and her two sons; Bert Johns OF
Juneau. Harry Shaw of Skagway.
The slide occurred Dec. 9, at Crater
lake. about one mile beyond the sum-
nit, on the Lake Lindeman side.
Contrary to the advice of old-timers,
who realized that the trip was q dan
gerous one. in view of the recent
storms, the party set out with light
outfits. It was storming very hard
when they crossed the summit. but they
succeeded in reaching Crater lake,
where the blizzard forced them to
camp, although it was but seven miles
10 their destination. While encamped
here tons OF ice and snow, mixed with
rocks and timbers, swept over them,
evidently without warning, and went
on down the valley, leaving them
buried under several feet Of hard snow.
