moved that the treaty be taken up and
that the senate should proceed to the con-
sideration of the amendment offered by
Senator Bacon providing for the submits
sion of 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 Hawaii until the
same shall have been consented to and ap-
proved by the majority of the voters vot-
ing at an election to be held in the Ha-

consideration Of his amendment, saying

R1or1Na AT BOMBAY
Caused by Attempts to Check the
Plague

BOMBAY, March S.-Rioting arose here
through a plague party inquiring into the
cause Of the sickness of Mohammedan
woman. An enormous crowd OF caste men
gathered and stoned and mobbed the
party. which retired for an escort Of armed
police and then returned and redemanded
the surrender OF the patient. which was
refused. A Parsee magistrate. who ex'
horted the populace not to resist the police
was himself struck. whereupon he ordered
the police to charge. They did so and four
Mohammedans were killed and several
were wounded.
The disturbance spread with alarming
rapidlty until tho whole quarter around
the Bhendi bazaar presented spectacle
similar to that OF the riots Of 1898. The
Mohammedans, who were Joined by the
Hindoos, assaulted every European or
Eurasian they met and a hysterical mob at
tackled European dwellings In the suburb
OF Bycaulla. The residents barricaded
themselves in their houses and fired blank
cartridges from their windows. which
drove the rioters off.
In the meantime troops were hurried to
the scene and q battery OF artillery is
now patroling the Bhendi bazaar.
The outbreak was specially directed
against Christians. 1t Is rumored that two
European soldiers were nearly killed, but
Il is difficult, owing to the excitement, to
obtain correct details.
The excitement has partially subsided
this evening but the situation is still re-
garded as serious. Cavalry has been or
dered from Poonah to assist in patrolling
the streets and the volunteers have been
called out. The city is In the hands of the
military. The two members Of the Shrop-
shire regiments who were killed were walk
Ing unarmed. The mob battered in their
skulls.
Many European officers and many police
men were severely handled and seriously

to petition protesting against annexa-

said, had been presented to the senate by

This remark brought Senator Hoar to his
