isAes Beneath Floating Home

The dead body Of little 5-year-old girl
lay yesterday afternoon ON the floating
door OF = puwamish river houseeoat
Damp locks OF hair chung chill about her
sweet face and the rigid figure with It's
dainty lines Of child beauty was wrapped IN
water sogged garments. On the river
bank. . short stones throw away. u group
OF men talked in an undertone. Within
the poor. wavs-tossed shanty mother
thought Of the cod figure on the noat
outside she clasped her remaining treasure
closer and her plain. aomely face WAS CON-
valsed with soxrow
Such was the scene presented TO Deputy
coroner fandell when he reached the bank
OF the Duwamish yeseSrday in response to
can which had been telephoned 10 his
otnce The drowning OF little Himer He'd.
man the evening before. had been attended
by circumstances Of unusual pathos.
The shanty in which she lived with her
mother and siep-faiher. Charles Carlson,
Is househoat stationed of the east bank
OF the es.~.mish. opposite Georgetown
When the tide Is out the float rests close
10 shore. but the rising water covers the
ssop.nS hank for some distance and the
Gnsuostaniisl home is far from aud. on
Tuesday evening at Z O'Clock the step

girl was helping her mother with the fam
.ly wash. Mrs. Carlson went inside the
shanty leaving her child on the tioac
Hardly had she passed within when. hav.
ing need Of the giri. she called: Hiimer.
Hilmer."
There was no answer. Mrs. Carlson ran
out and called again. Still only silence.
Her anxious eyes scanning the water on
10
floor at her feet. Between the narrow
chinks OF the float she discerned q tiny
white hand sticking above the water.
II was cluiching though at ne very
strings Of the mothers heart. There was
no way TO reach that mute,y begging hand
save by tearing up the flooring. This was
beyond the womans strength. A narrow
plank rode the water near. The mother
reached 1t from the edge of the platform
and thrus;ing it far under. toward the
hand said:
Catch this. Hilmer."
Vain words 10 ears that would never
hear again. The father was row return
Ing in his boat and he quickened his stroke
at the sound Of his wife's daspairlng cries.
With his aid the murderous plank was
quickly prted away. hut The hand had
disappeared and all effort at finding the
body beneath the foa, proved vain.
That night and next day search for the
drowned girl continued. The Leighbors
took hand and the body was located
and brought to the surface yesterday after
noon by Harry Carson.
Charles Carlson acknowledged IN Deputy
Coroner Yandell that he is too poor 10 bury

MET FATE OF RUIZ.
Another Spanish Emissary Executed by
Insurgents.

Havana, Feb. 4.-Spanish military
operations continue almost paralyzed,
the season most favorable for move-
ment against the insurgents thus being
lost. Friday the insurgents entered
the town of Artemisa, province of
Pinar del Rio, and plundered several
stores. The governor of Pinar del Rio
sent Jose Mendonez Diaz as an ennis
sary to the insurgent leader Perico
Diaz, with proposals of peace and sur.
render. The insurgents hanged him
near railway opening, with the gov
ernor's letter on his body. Monday
night they renewed the attack on Ar
temisa, but were repulsed, leaving two
killed.
Private advices from Gibara confirm
the report that General Luque's losses
at Megia were more serious than was
officially given out. He lost, not 90,
but l4O killed and wounded.
La Discussion prints the following:
The scenes witnessed at the resi-
dence of DIR. Castro Jesus del Monte,
previous to the distribution of food to
the reconcentrados, are too pathetic to
be described. AS soon as the doors
were opened mass of beggars, living
skeletons of all races, all ages and both
sexes, invaded the places where food
was to be distributed with outstretched
hands, almost fieshless, and imploring
and almost frightful spectral faces, at
the sight of food. Many were not
strong enough to endure the food, and
fell in the streets as they passed away;
few Others, more fortunate, seemed
to gain some vitality.

JAPANESE MAY VOTE.
Thus Their Opposition to Annexation Of
Hawaii Is Removed.

Washington, Feb. Japan has
been removed as an element In the
opposition to the consummatiOn of the
annexation of the Hawaiian islands by
the United States by conclusion of an
agreement with Japan. This docu'
ment, which has not been general y
taken into account in the consideration
of means for adjusting three questions
that have arisen over the status OF Jap
anese in Hawaii, goes into effect in
July, next year, and among other
things, it confers upon japanese within
the territory of the United States all
the rights accorded to the citizens of
the most favored nation, which, of
course, carries with it rights of natur-
alization and the rights of franchises.
Presumi9I flat annexation is effected,
the JapaAese IA Hawaii will, in 1899,
have the Sasse rights as those in the
present limits of the United States.
All that remains to be fixed is the
status of the japanese during the time
that must elapse between the adoption
of the annexation treaty and the begin
ming Of the operation Of the japanese
treaty in 1899. As the pending an
nexation treaty provides for the ap-
pointment of a commission to visit the
islands and prepare such legislation as
may be necessary to consummate the
of the territories, this
last question can easily be adjusted,
along with other details in the bill to
be reported to congress.

Stole Charity Passes.

Cincinnati, Feb. 7.-The railways
here have discovered that they have
been swindled out of thousands of dol
lars by bogus orders of the mayor for
pauper passes. These orders were
printed and bound in pads with the
name of the mayor and his secretary
printed on them. Instead of signing
them, the city sealer stamp had been
used, but through carelessness, the or
ders were finally given out without
stamping. Recently, many pads got
into the hands of scalpers and have
been sold for months by ticket brokers.
The discoveries date back as far as last
October. One railway tracked over
81 900 worth of them today on its line
and other lines are proceeding with
Investigations. Joseph and Lyman
Hess were arrested on the charge of
purloining charity passes from the
mayors office. Their brother, Harry,
has been employed in that office. Sam
uel Phillips was arrested charged with
selling them, on which tickets were
issued at the ticket office. Other ar
rests will follow.
