WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Nov. "a
Early in the coming session OF Con-
gress l will reintroduce my bill for
the government Of Hawaii and will
press II to passage, said Senator Gull
lom this afternoon. Continuing the
Senator said:
II will be remembered that Con-
gressional committee of which was

full report. The demands Of public
business, growing out of the Spanish
war, in connection with the crowded
calendar which always characterizes a
short session of Congress like the last,
made 1t impossible to take up the Ha-
waiian question.
The people OF the Islands have dem
onstrated their capacity for self-gov-
eminent, are already thoroughly Amer
icanixed and understand the conditions
which have delayed action. They are
patiently awaiting the pleasure Of Con-
gress. and, in my opinion, are entitled
to first consideration. believe we
should dispose of Hawaiian matters
before we take up any of the new insu-
lar possessions.

upon the Hawaiian bill. In my opin-
ion the form of government which we
propose for Hawaii could be given In

In Hawaii we propose to extend the

THE CONEY ISLAND FIRE.
Two Hundred Houses Destroyed
Nearly 81 100000 Damage.

New York, May 26-Seldom has fire
attracted more attention in New York
and other cities in a general way than
| the blaze which destroyed 200 houses al
Coney island to-day. This is perhaps
due to the fact that this is the season
of the year when Coney island is sup
posed to jump into popularity with the
average residents in the metropolis AS
a result Of this early morning blaze
property of the value, according to the
highest estima tes, of nearly a million
dollars was destroyed, twenty acres in
the heart of the summer resort section,
the district known as THE Bowery' be-
ing reduced to ashes. 1ahe two hundred
buildings burned were located between
the Bowery and the ocean, Tilyous
Walk on the west and the Old Ocean
pier on the east. These buildings rang
ed in size and Importance from wab-
bly, bathing pavilion to the handsome
tive-story Hygeia hotel and included
theaters, concert halls, dancing pavil-
IONS stores of various kinds, restau-
rants and hotels of every grade. The
fire made shelterless for a time a ma
tive" and transient popula tion of about
$500, including five hundred men and
women classed as comedians and SOU
brettes, employed in the district, and ST.
fenced no less than one hundred pianos.
1T was nearly a. m. when Patrolman
Lynch discovered a blaze in cottage
at the corner of the burnt district near
iror mic A nf
fire department in answer to an alarm
had this trouble disposed of before $3.50
and the engines were about going away
when the same officer discovered an
other fire in pavilion, at the west or
Tilyous Walk end of the district. This
was the start of the big fire, it spread
rapidly in zigzag line toward the
Fatime theater on the Bowery. Addi-
tional alarms followed in quick success
sion until twenty engines, some from
as far away as South Brooklyn. were
called to aid. In ten minutes after the
second fire started the whole Bowery
district was in wild alarm. The thou
sands Immediately threatened rushed
out into the Walks attired as they
slept. They were quickly Joined by the
entlre population ol tHe isidhu' II was
seen that the firemen had determined to
make the actual Bowery street the
fighting line, and then the last hope of
those south of the Bowery that any of
their houses might be saved being gone,
a pell nell rush for salvage or plumber
took place Scores of thieves broke
through the fire lines or entered the dis
trict from the ocean side and their WORK
of punder was wholesale. So far as
known only five persons were injured or
burned, and all will recover. Deputy
Battalion Chief fitzpatrick is convinced
that the fire was of incendiary origin.

.FOURNIER,S MACHINE.
Makes n Swift Mil.-Croyyd Enthusf-
astic Over the Vehicle.

Baltimore, May 26.-Henri Fournier,
the Frenchman and his internal ma
chine" were the features of the cycle
meet at the Hartford Avenue Coliseum
tonight. With Henshaw on the front
seat, Fournier made 81 mile in 1:32 2-5,
which was second and fifth slower
than the worlds record for two
wheeled vehicle established by himself
in Washington. A spectator tapped
the bell one lap short, which caused
Fournier to lose perhaps two seconds
slowing up and starting again. A
crowd of over 1000 people were wildly
enthusiastic over the Frenchman's We
hicle, The races were hotly contested
in heats and finals in all excpetng the
mile handicap professional, which was
won in hollow style by the limit men
because of the bad start made by the
back markham. r. A. Mcfarland,
who is winning the bulk of the money
at present, won the first prize in the
two mile professional and would un-
doubtedly have won the handicap had
he been started properly Earl Kiser
landed second in the open and seemed
the only one able to give Mcfarland a
battle. Eddie Bald acted as starter. 1t
was the first race meet ever given here
under National Cycling association
auspices and it was financial success.

Filed With Yale Against Catcher
Cunha of Freshman Team.
The Yale baseball management has
received a protest from Harvard as to
the eligibility of Cunha, the star catch
er of the freshman team. The protest
states that Cunha is not freshman in
that he is in the law school and is
pursuing a three years course in two
Harvard claims that by reason of this
fact Cunha is not freshman, but they
do not assign him to any class. 1t is
true that he is taking two years work
in one, but he is not taking the three
year course In two. On the contrary,
he is a three year man in the law
school and having entered the univer-
sity last fall and not coming from any
other university he is said by the Yale
managers to be as eligible to play on
the Frenshman team as is any men,
Der Of the academic department or
Sheffield Scientific school, The Yale
management is not in the least worried
by fear of an unfavorable outcome of
the claims made by Harvard as they
are perfectly confident that they are
and have been acting in perfectly fair
manner.

ing with a permanent arbitration
board"
Thereupon the Russian president of
the conference drew a paper from his
pocket and laid it upon the table. The
paper contained the foundation Of a
permanent tribunal, suggesting the sub
stitution Of a new clause and referring
to an appendix not yet drawn up. The
amazed delegates crowded around Sir
Julian and congratulated him upon hav-
ing played the winning card which had
so quickly precipltated the Russian al
ternat.ve scheme. Some stood aghast as
the matter was not contemplated in
their institutions. Finally it was de-
cided to refer the matter to a sub-com-
mittee. The Americans, it is believed,
are celebrating an organic statute for
the erection of a permanent tribunal,
which will probably be laid before the
conference and be supported by the
British delegates when the principle en-
bodied in Sir Julian's resolution is ac-
cepted."
