SANDWICH ISLANDS Continuation Of Whites Speech
 Against tie Treaty SENTINENTALITY AND SUGAR
Declared to be the Basis of tn e
 Annexation Scheme
The California Senator's Constitu- tional Objections-The Worth iessneSS of Honolulu From Q Military Point Of View.

Washington, Feb. 2.-Senator White of California continued his speech il opposition to the Hawaiian anneXi- tion treaty in the executive session of the senate today, amid many inter ruptions and much cross-fre. In the main, his speech was a continuation of the argument on constitutional lines which was begun yesterday. He took up questions of practical purporl in today's speech and undertook to and deferse the acquisition of the is- lands would be unwise. Senator White took up l;he con- ention that the control of Honolulu was necessary to the defense of the NicaIaguan canal, and asserted that there was no foun- dation to support it, and gave figures to show that in case the def n e of the canal became necessary by this country it would be defended from either San Diego or San Franc. .sco, and not from Honolulu
 He said that no enemy could use Honolulu as base of supplies in c3se' of war with the United States, because the modern war vessel does not carry enough coal 10 make a round trip and for a delay for hostile purposes. He quoted from Admiral Belknap to the effect that Honolulu could be forti- fed effectually, and from General SchOfield to the effect that it could not be fortified at all for land defense, which shows that authorities differ
 "The whole scheme for the annexa- ton of Hawaii" he said, 't:s based upon sentimentality and sugar." and continuing this line of presentation, he said that the sugar peop,e who were netting eight or nine millions of dollars year under the reciprocity treaty, were back of the annexation project with the hope of making the benefits now derived from reciprocity perpetual. If it were not, he said, for this condition of affairs, the treaty would never have been heard of, and hence he charged that the patriotism of the senators was being imposed upon to consummate a most disgrace full proposition.

YUKON MINING DEAL.
Winnipeg Capitalists Invest in Hun

Winnipeg, Man, Feb. 2.-The first deal to be made in Winnipeg in con nection with claims in the Yukon was made recently. The purchasers were Dr. Holmes Simpson, Dr. R. M. Simpson and another Winnipeg gen tleman. They have bought interests in two claims, one on Bonanza and the other on Hunker creek. It is un- derstood they paid a good figure.
 Wholesale fruit firms of this city, through the Winnipeg board of trade, are protesting strongly against the Dominion government granting the petition of eastern fruit growers that no importations of fruit be allowed to enter Canada from countries where fruit diseases are said to exist The board has urged that no action be taken in the direction of prohibiting the importation of fruit from the United States and other foreign coun- tries into Manitoba and the north west territories until full opportunity has been given the wholesale fruit dealers of this city to properly rep resent the situation that Man; toba and the territories are placed in With re gard to fruit supply.

Equal suffrage stands about an equal show of passing in both houses, and shows friends in unex- pected quarters. The Cheshire amendment is likely to pass the house, but may fail in the ssnate, where the vote is close.

IT WAS ALL MOONSHINE-
And It Interested the Internal Rev
 enale Officers.

New York, Feb. 2--The ill.cts ma1- ufacture of spirits on the lower Ess- Side of the borough of Manhattan has been revived. A few. days ago inter nal revenue offices discovered a. small still in operation in an East Broadway cellar, and last night they found a more extensive plant for the making of "moonshine" whiskey in full work ing order al S5 Norfolk street. Hyman Gluckstein, a dwarf with whiskers, was caught filling three gallon cans with the illicit spirits.
 The still had capacity of seventy gallons day. Nine gallons of mash and twenty gallons of spirits which registered 176 proof were seized. The still was constructed on the most im- proved plan and was provided wi h Russian condensing pans.
 Gluckstein, who is said to bo an accomplished "mcocshiner," was ar raignedl before United Sta.es Commis- sioner Shields today. He was held in s2.5O0 bail for examination next Moa- day afternoon.

result was that the water again spread over the neighboring ground, which is depressed in the immediate vicinity of the spring.
 The discovery of the sinking of the earth at the spring was madN by Will liam Baxter, superintendent of the city wa.e1 works, and Alderman Frank lin Picker For a space ab-ut se'v- en;y-five feet in diameter the earth has dropped down to such an extent that the tops of some of the largest trees which were carried away are just visible, while others have entirely disappeared in the huge opening, which slowly filled with water. A roadway, which passes near the spot and has been travelled for years, was partially carried away. The discov- erers had a narrow escape from being precipitated into the opening: Whi. e observing the extent of the cave-in from the edge, they suddenly felt the ground dropping from under their feet. By the greatest as,e they sue ceeded in reaching a. place of safety, just as the ground upon which they had been standing moment be- fore disappeared with a loud splash, into the opening, which was already filling with water.

KILLED BY A TROLLEY CAR.
Car Lifted and the Lad Taken From
 Under It While Yet Alive.

New York, Feb. 2.-John Johnson, ' years old, who lived with his par ents in Essex street, Newark, attempt ed to cross in front of Belleville line trolley car ait the corner of Broad and Orange streets last night. He was knocked down and so horribly injured that he died shortly afterward at St. Michaels hospital.
 When Motorman Eli Hill stopped the car he found the boy wedged be- tween the trucks and the motor, and it was necessary to have the car rais- ed before he could be extricated. The lad was conscious all the time, and his appeals to his rescuers were pitiful.
 As several eye witnesses said that the moto1man did everything possible to avert the accident, there were no arrests
