DECLINED CHICAGO INVITATION
OWING TO ALASKA BOUNDARY DIS
PUTE COULD NOT CONSIDER
TRIP TO AMERICA
IT WOULD BE UNIDENTIFIED
Besides, Added Sir WiIfrid, Some
ThOughtIess Persons Might Offer
an ARrOnt to the Representatives
of Cnnada-WfI Advise Against
Canada Being Represented at the
Corner Stone Laying.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-Mr. E. w.
has just returned to Washington from
Ottawa, where he went at the instance
of the committee of citizens of Chicago
in charge of the ceremonies of laying the
corner stone of that city's great post
Office building, next October, by Presi-
dent Mckinley, to arrange for the formal
invitation and expected acceptance of an
invitation from Chicago's citizens to the
governor general and cabinet of Canada
to participate in those festivities.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick is the assistant United
States architect, under Architect Henry
Ives Cobb, for the Chicago building He
admitted that his official reception was
slightly chilly, Sir Wilfrid Laurier very
candidly telling him under the present
conditions it would be impossible for him
to accept or even to consider any social
invitations to this side Of the border.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick says that in substance
Sir Wilfrid's voluntary statements and
answers to queries were as follows:
LAS a friend in whom 1 am deeply in
terested I am glad to see you, but, frank
ly, as a representative of the federal or
any local government in the United
States your visit could not have been
more untimely. When 1 received your
first letter I took up the matter with his
excellency the governor general and he
expressed a sincere desire to visit Chi
cago, and seemed as anxious to accept
the invitation as 1 was. We would have
been delighted to go, and were looking
forward to the day with much anticipa-
ton. But since that time the tone of
your press has become so harsh in deal
ing with the Alaskan boundary question:
such misrepresentation have been made
about our government, and particularly
about me, that it would be undignified for
US to visit you, and 1 cannot advise his
eXcellency to 60"
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said that Sir Wilfrid
intimated that in the present state of
public feeling in the United States, as in
dicated in the press. it would not be en-
tirely safe for the governor general and
himself to visit Chicago, as he feared
that they might in a great gathering of
such a character as the Chicago cere-
mony, be subjected to some unpleasant
ness or indignity by thoughtless persons.
Sir Wilfrid expressed himself as strongly
in favor of arbitrating the Alaskan boun-
dairy dispute, and concluded the interview
as follows:
mo, much as I regret it, could not go
to Chicago under present conditions and
shall certainly, however painful a duty
it may be, also advise his exceIlency to
decline the invitation that I know and
feel has so kindly been extended to US
by the city of Chicago
Mr.. Fitzpatrick secured Sir Wilfrids
promise, however, to reconsider the mat

So 1t Is Claimed for American Off
GERS in Cuba.
HAVANA, Aug 4-Considerable COM
ment was caused here this afternoon by
the publication of a dispatch from the
United States, embodying the charge
made by a leading New York newspaper
that Gov. Gen. Brooke, Brig Gen. Lud-
low, military governor of Havana, Col
lector Tasker Bliss and MAJ. Davis, san
itary officer of Havana, have been receiv-
ing extra allowances out of the Cuban
revenues to maintain themselves in lux
ury. The feeling among Americans in
Havana is that this charge is based upon
a serious misa pprehension Of the facts of
the case. The suggestion of luxurious liv-
ing perpleXes the Cubans, who are in a
position to contrast the democratic way
in which men holding the high rank held
by Generals Brooke and Ludlow con-
duct their establishments, with the prodi-
gay ha bits of the old Spanish regime.
AS to the charge that Gen. Brooke has
expended money in repairing the palace.
the Americans reply that this old and
historic structure had either to be re-
paired and renovated or to be pulled
down, and consequently about 100000
have been expended on 1t. But 1t is point
ed out, instead of being, as heretofore.
the private residence of the governor
general, the palace is now available for
the work of public officers including one
large wing to the mayor and municipal
officials. Gov. BroOke's private quarters
are unequal to what would be allowed
him at any station in the United States.
Aside from the official reception room.

Hersey and Robert Cole, young man
from New York, who vas also a guest
at the Livingston summer home. went
fishing at o'clock in the morning in a
canoe How the boat was capsized the
message did not state. Both of the young
men were thrown into the water. but
chung to the sides of the boat. The canoe
was 175 yards from shore, and Mr. Her
sey, after holding on the boat for some
time, started to swim to shore, being con-
fident that he would be able to make the
distance safely. Mr.. Cole could not swim.
and it was Mr. Hersey's intention to
reach shore and secure help to rescue Mr..
Cole. The latter was still in the water,
supported by the canoe, and watched his
companions progress with nervous ex-
element. stiff wind was blowing. and
wave washed over Mr.. Coles head. and
when he emerged he could see nothing OF
young Hersey. He called for help and his
cries were heard by some campers q short
distance away. Mr.. Cole was rescued by
several of the party, and Immediately
search commenced for Hersey's body.
When Cole last saw Hersey he was swim
ming very strong, about fifty yards from
shore. The supposition is that he was
taken with cramp and rendered helpless
before he could appeal for help
WAS AN EXPERT SWIMMER.
The latest advices that were received
by members of the family last night in
dicateG that the body had not been found
up to a late hour
Mr. Hersey's friends are at a loss to
understand the accident. E L. Hersey
said last night that his brother was an
expert swimmer. Before starting for
shore, the message stated, Mr. Hersey
took off his coat. His coat was found
later floating on the top of the water.
but that was all that could be found so
far as E. L. Hersey had been advised.
The only conclusion that can be drawn
from his sudden disappearance is that
when nearing the shore he encountered
the current from one of the many springs
that feed the lake from all sides and his
limbs chilled so severely that he was
taken with a cramp.
Mr. Heresey's young wife was with
him at Mr.. Livingston's home E. L.
Hersey left last evening in company with
George R. Finch for Cable. The town
is about twenty miles south of BAYFIELD,.

that they Will reach here on their re-
turn before this evening in case Mr.. Her

More Stable Government.

More Stable Government.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-The Post to-
morrow will print an interview with Lii
iuokalani, eX-queen of the Hawaiian
islands, who is residing here. The
former queen receives many letters from
home, and says what the people need
there is some head to the government.
She adds.
Reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, the Islands are in a state of practical
anarchy. We q say we because 1 count
myself one Of my people, have no laws
but those which have obtained for many
years, and a few which have been folst-
ed upon us by the Hawaiian republic.
There is no such thing as real justice.
The native has not the same standing
when he goes to law with the white man,
and even some of the foreigners find that
they cannot obtain their dues. The gov
eminent is an oligarchy instead of a re-
public. Caprice dictates the administra-
ton of affairs. 1 speak with no bitter
ness whatever. [ am merely endeavor-
ing to give a correct picture of the con-
ditiCns. The Inhabitants of the islands
know nothing whatever OF their fate, or
what sort Of government will be placed
ever them"
LiiuOkalani expresses every confidence
in the honorable intentions of America,
and hopes when d decision is made as to
a form of government for the islands that
the official will be appointed from this
country. When asked as to her claim for
confiscation of the crown lands her ma
jesty was somewhat retjcent.
81 believe that my claims are just" she
said simply, 81 think that they will be re-
spccteG. When the papers were filed no
definite amount was stated, but the rev.
enUe resulting from the lands three years
ago was about $50.0G0 a year Since that
time the lands have increased in value.
I have heard that their annual income is
now approximately 81 ,OOGOOO bat I know
nothing about that There was certainly
no warrant to dispossess me of them
without payment"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE non-arriv-
al Of the Samoan commission is beginning
to attract comment in official circles, as
it is thought some new compiled ton may
have arisen in Samoa to keep the COM
mission there The last report was that
a party would leave Apia on July 49, and
if this had been carried out, the COM
mission would have been due in San Fran
cisco before the present time. AS the
bulk of the natives were disarmed there
is little prospect that they could cause
serious disorders. yet in case of renewed
trouble between the factions it is believed
the commission would wait until quiet
had been restored. Respecting Consul
