IN THE HOUSE
Continued from Page One.)

deed "A short -sighted man, he stated,
who would contend that Hawaii, ucCu-
pying so important a location as it
does. in the middle of the great Pacific
ocean, would be left untouched by some
of the land grabbing nations of the old
world. Under the present circum-
stances it was absurd for this govern
ment to try to maintain a system of
control without taking actual posses
sion.
He controverted the position of Sem
ators Pettigrew and White that the
American could not labor in the Ha
waiian islands. He quoted weather
statistics to show that the temperature
on the islands coast ranged from 90 to
SO during the year, which he SAID, was
far from being an progressively hot eli
mate. Farther inland ii was still cooler
and on the montains frosts were not
infrequent. If the white man or this
country should not be impressed with
the islands, Mr. Teller thought they
would make an excellent location for
the colored people of the United States
who might desire to leave this country
and would find congenial employment
in the sugar plantations and coffee
fields of Hawaii.
Mr.. Teller also discussed the conten-
ton that the Hawaiian group was not
on the most direct line of travel between
the western hemisphere and China or
Japan Any vessel which might come
around the Horn or cross the lsthmus
of Panama in the case of the construc-
ton of canal, would almost certainly
take these islands in no it's way to
Yokohama, Shanghai or any other far
eastern port. Furthermore, the islands
were a great convenience as a coaling
and general supply point to vessels ply
ing the Pacific ocean.
Taking up the question of the neces-
sity for the defense of the islands and
the maintenance of large fleet in their
waters in case of annexation, he said
that this was mere bugaboo and was
without foundation in fact All that
would be necessary would be to fortify
Pearl harbor for the protection of coal
and military stores in times of hostility.
With all of our stores of this character
located at one spot as they could easily
be, and that particular spot strongly
entrenched and well armed there would
be no need to guard other portions of
the islands, for ii was not to be sup
posed that any hostile nation would for
mere sentiment send fleet thousands of
miles across the waters in order to at
tack and destroy any defeuseless com
munities there simply because they were
subject to the government Of the United
States.
Mr. Teller went extensively into the
history of the islands from 1880 to 1850
to show that both Englishmen and
Frenchmen had forced treaties of ces-
sion out of the rulers of the islands.
Senator Teller was frequently inter-
rupted during the delivery Of his speech
by Senators White. Pettigrew, Gear and
others

HiDE0US DETAILS.
How the Indians Were Burned by the
Mob i'm Oklahonta.


Washington, Feb. The attorney
general sent to the senate to-day a let
ter written by Assistant United States
Attorney McMeichan. giving the re-
suits of his Investigations into the re-
cent burning of two Seminole Indians
in Oklahoma by mob He says that
the sentiment in the neighborhood of
the crime is always with the mob and
he was informed that ii would not be
well for him or any other person to go
into that locality If ii was known that
the object was To locate the conspira-
tors.
Mr. McMechan's letter tells, in the
main. an old story, but he gives some
new details. McGeisey was, he says,
the first Of the Indians to move "A mus
Gle after the torch was applied. and
he did not move until the flesh was be-
ginning TO drop from his limbs and the
fire was beginning to touch his ears.
He then gave loud Whoop, and
bent over as far as the chain would
allow him. and sucking in the leaping
flames sank down and expired without
showing any more signs or pain. Not
so with Palmer Sampson; he did not
move until after MeGeisey had inhaled
the flames Then he commenced to
kick with both feet, throwing burning
pieces Of wood % or 80 feet away. 1t
was with difficulty that they succeeded
in getting him burned
Mr. McMeichan says that Baptist
minister named Hiram Holt prayed for
the two Indians before their execution,
and as he knelt in prayer he held a
rifle in his hands.

VAN DER AHE KIDNAPPED.
The Base Ball Magnate Captured by
strategy in st. Louis and Taken
pftfshnrp


Pittsburg, Feb. THE Pittsburg Dis
patch this morning contains the fol-
lowing dispatch from staff correspon-
dent. dated ST. Louis, Mo-: Chris Won
der Abe. the baseball magnate, was
taken into custody last evening by "A
Pittsburg detective. The most unique
character in the sporting world was
really kidnapped and is now on his way
to the Smoky city, where his body Will
be held for an indefinite period on a
judgment given by the courts in the
suit brought by Mark T.. Baldwin the
baseball pitcher.
The kidnapping of MIR. Won der Abe,
for it is such in the true meaning of the
word, will no doubt create a big sensa-
ton. He was decoyed TO the ST. Mich
olas hotel by means of strategy, where
he was hustled into the carriage, after
being shown the bail piece carried by
Detective Nicholas Bendel. The ear
riage was driven around aimlessly until
it was time to be taken To the train for
the East. Then he was showed into it
and is now on his way to Pittsburg,
where he will either have TO make good
the judgment of $500 rendered against
him in the Baldwin case or remain in
Jail until such time as William A. MIN
ick. who was on his bond when first
arrested on the charge preferred by
Pitcher Baldwin, is satisfied. The kid
mapping party has been heard from and
is well on its way to Pittsburg.

THE DECREE MODIFIED.

From Its Original Position.

From Its Original Position.
Washington Feb. 7.-Ambassador
White al Berlin. by cable to the state de-
partment has confirmed the published
reports of the modified decree of the
German government relative to the inn
portation into Germany of American
ing to do on our part but watch the
workings of the decree as means of test
ing the spirit in which 1t was conceived,
whether il was framed with the single
purpose of keeping out the competition
of our fruit with that of German produc-
ton.
That the department has reason to sus-
pect the latter Is evinced from the report
that comes to ii from Consul Barnes at
Cologne. The consul, in his report, en-
closes the following, printed in local
newspaper of Cologne:
The chief mayor publishes the follow
ing notice: American hams have been
brought into this market which were
painted with boracic acid in order to pre-
serve them. Although they We're carefully
washed before being offered for sale, the
meat was strongly impregnated with the
acid. Now the court of correction has de-
clared on the basis of the opinion of ex-
perts that boracic acid is poison, liable
to injure the health of human beings. 1t
is, therefore, not permitted to keep OH
sale or sell meat that is preserved with
boracic acid, and all those who act
against this order will he proceeded
