illness of the latter prevented him from

the courtesies of the capital. Mr.. Edgar
spent yesterday at the Capitol, most of the
time in company with Speaker Reed, who
pointed out TO him the celebrities OF our
Congress and explained the processes of
work there. The Canadian speaker, like
his prototype of the British parliament, is
not a political selection and therefore is
not expected to manifest an open concern
In pending matters of legislation or even
OF diplomacy if the latter mas any political

Mr. Lorrin A. Thurston stated to a Star
reporter today that he had received a tele-
gram from San Francisco confirming the
published statement that President Dole
would arrive in San Francisco on Saturday
and would come direct to Washington; that
the reason for this action of the president
was that the Hawaiian legislature meets in

ton Is to take place" continued Mr.. Thurs
ten, there will necessarily be some legis-
lation to adapt the laws to the changed
conditions. If it is not TO take place. the
refunding of the bonded debt will probably
be taken up, which would not be done if
annexation is to take place. The present
bonds draw 6 per cent interest, and can be
taken up at any time. The entire debt can
be refunded at from to ID per cent by
the present government. There being no
cable communication and the mails being
so SLOW and so far apart, and information
obtained by letter being at best unsatis-
factory, President Dole determined to come
to Washington and observe the conditions
for himself in order to guide him in making
recommendations to the legislature

SAVANNAH. Ca, January 14.-Thc pro-
Ceedings in the court-martial of Capt. o.
NJ. Carter are still confined to routine tech
ricalities ard Identification cf papers. The
feeling between Capt. Gillette, the prose
cLtor, and Capt. Carter has become so
strained that friends of both quietly keep
them apart. When friends of Capt. Carter
turned the tables on Gillette by setting the
face of the local fashionable set against
him. resulting in his enforced resignation
from the Oglethorpe Club, there was in
fused into the affair d tinge of personal
bitterness which had not eX.Sted heretofore.
The consequence of this is that Captain
Gillette is expected to spring an amended
specification in the blanket charge of coll
duct unbeconing officer and a gentle
man. containing matter connected with
Capt. Carters private life.
AS the gossip behind the whole trial leads
back to this, which has been hitherto sup
pressed by most powerful influences, Capt
Gillette will explode a bomb which Will
thrill the otTicialdom of the whole army
In fact, the present phase of the court
martial has been forgotten in the excited
anticipation of what is 10 come.
