FRAUD IN THE PETITION
ANTI-ANNEXATION MEMORIAL
FULL OF FORGERIES.
Startling Report of an Agent Who Ex-
amined It-Long Rows of Names
in the Same Handwriting.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The adj
vocates of the annexation of Ha vail
are prepared to sprs,y = surpr ,se on
the Senate. One of the chief argu
ments by the anti-anneXationists has
been that a large majority of the ma
tives of Hawaii are opposed to annex
alton. AS evidence of the sentiment
of the natives there was presented
early in the consideration of the trea-
ty a petition bearing the signatures
of over 10000 natives, appealing to
the United States not to deprive them
of their national existence.
The presentation of this monster
petition which has been cited as II
true representation of the feeling of
the native population of Hawaii, un-
doubtedly carried great weight, many
Senators being influenced by It
against the treaty. The surprise that
the annexationists will spring on the
Senate is evidence tending to show
that the monster petition is full of Il
mass of forgeries.
A special agent was engaged to
make an investigation of the manner
in which the petition was prepared,
and the genuineness of the signatures.
A report from this agent has been re-
ceived. He says his investigation has
shown that the total number of the
names on the petition is 21,269. of
which 1O,3S7 are males, and 1881 are
females.'
On the male potion there is a sum
mary which ates that the num-
Der of minors Detween the ages of IA
and 90 years is 2.262, while the female
petition has no such summary. There
are in all 2,676 names of persons un-
der 20 years of age, showing that %
per cent of the petitioners are mi
nors.
An analysis of the petition disclosed
that there are five facts which tend to
discredit both the genuineness and
good faith of the memorial. The first
one is that while the summary says
the minors are all between II and &C
years of age, the petition on the face
of it shows that there are $50 males
and 327 females under II years OF
age, of whom seven boys and six girls
are put down as two years of age
the names of the latter being signed
in clear round hand.

SUFFERERS BY THE FLOOD AMONG THE KLONDKERS
BRAVE WOMEN WHO WILL GO TO
THE FRONT.
One Leaves Family of Six Children
in Australia-Life on Board the
Cape Otway.

An hour on board the steamer Cape
Otway with her human freight is in
teresting. The passengers are hap
py lot and apparently have little fear
of the hardships that await them at
their destination.
There are thirty-three saloon pas
sengers and 176 steerage. In the Cab
in are six French women, who arr.
booked through to Dyea and Juneau.
Four women are travelling in the
steerage, unattended. They will all
brave the terrors of Chilcook pass and
are determined to go into the very
heart of the Klondike region. One of
these women is the mother of six chill
dren. all of whom she left behind IN
Australia.
Among the cabin passengers are Mr..
and Mrs. .Cuthbertson and their ten
year old daughter of Sydney. Mr..
Cuthbertson is a wealthy Englisnmal
who has zone considerable travelling.
He goes to the great northern gold
fields in the interests of an English
syndicate.
The youngest person on board IS n
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harris, promincnt
residents of New Zealand. The little
fellow is but four years old, but in
sists that he can stake off a claim
just the same.
Pluto, the colored pugilist, who "a
few years ago was Griffo's most form
liable opponent, is ah0n'' nd afford
ing considerable amu Mt for the
passengers with hi NoNing contests.
He has arranged a championship pu-
gilstic contest for the brawny Au--
tralians to take place during the COM
ing fortnight. Pluto is having mel
ais made here.
Nearly all of the stperage passen-
gers are hardy miners from the West
Australian gold fields. They all hav-
bit of money and are confident oe
making their fortunes up north.
While on the trip up from Auckland
the passengers, both cabin and steer
age. devoted their entire time to sport
A tug of war contest was the chief
I feature. The New Zealanders came
out the champions, besting six other
/ teams, including the Scotch, the Eng
/ lish, the Irish, the Foreigners, the
Nictorians, and the New South Wales.
The vessel will dock after the China
leaves this afternoon. She expects to
sail tomorrow morning.
