OFFICERS FOR HAWAII.
President Mckinley Looking About
For Suitable Men.

Washington, April 2S-In anticipa-
tion of the final enactment Of the Ha.-
waiian government bill, the president is
devoting some attention TO the selec-
ton of the various officials Of the new
government wllS GTS Subject TO execu-
tive appointment 1t is the intention
to make these appointments very soon
in order that there may be no delay in
the Inauguration Of the new govern
ment, and to secure speedy relief from
the serious e9nbarrasSments Of the
present anomalous condition of affairs.
The Hawaiian contingent in Wash
ingtol has not been behind hand in
suggesting suitable material to the
president for his consideration IN this
connection Particularly in the case of
the governorship have there been
urgent representations. There are no
less than four candidates in the field.
The name Of President Dole leads
the list; Harold Sewell. late minister
at Honolulu and now United States
agent in the island, is making a forni-
dable canvass. backed by the Maine
delegation, and there are two persons
Of Hawaiian birth prominent in the
affairs of the island whose names also
are under consideration
There is ground for the belief that
Of all these candidates President Dole
is looked upon most favorably, the
president incfining to the view that by
making such an appointment he would
not only recognize the principle of
home rule, but also would make suit
able recognition of the long-eontinued
and effective efforts of Sanford P. Dole
to secure the annexation of the Ha-
waiian islands to the United States.

ANYTHING TO BEAT BRYAN
UNpERHANDED WORK OF NEW
YORK GOLD DEMOCRATS.
Advocate Nomination of Dewey and
Oppose the Platform Adopted at
Chicago.

New York, April 2S-,The state COM
mittee of the Chicago platform De-
mocracy held a meeting here last night
and ratified the action Of its conven-
ton committee in changing the time
and place Of holding it's state conven-
ton from May q, in Albany, to May
10, in this city.
In an address which the state COM
mittee has issued under the caption
"Of interest to Democrats of New York
state" the committee says that it is
the intention at the coming convention
to select delegates to the national con-
VentiOn, because the regular OrganiZa-
ton is controlled by men who do not
represent the party, who did not sup
port Bryan in 1896. and who are in real
ity antagonistic TO Democratic princi-
pies. OF these state leaders the COM
mittee says:
These men do not come out in the
open and say: We are for Bryan and
the Chicago platform, with the addi-
ton of planks against trusts and i'm
periahsm,' but resort to all sorts Of
subterfUge ana equivOcationS.
They do not say: We viii send an
instructed delegation, so there can be
no question raised No, on the con-
trary, they say: 1t is not the custom
to send an instructed deleSdIlOn from
this state and Tammany representa-
tives in congress and others prominent
in this political circle come out in ad-
vocacy for Dewey and any kind Of a
platform except the reaffirmatiOn of
the platform of 1896. We think you
will agree with US that these men can
not be trusted.
There would not be a particle of
doubt of securing a Bryan delegation
from New York is his opponents would
meet us in a fair and manly way. They
refuse to put up delegates openly
pledged to anything. but it can be only
for the purpose of deceivtng the voters
into voting for delegates supposed to
be for the Chicago platform and Bryan,
but who would turn out in the cOnven-
ton to be against him. ANY delegates
who refuse to be instructed to vote for
Rrvan do not intend to vote for him,
and any delegate who is not pledged for
Bryan is secretly pledged against hin" "

WARRANT FOR STEEL KINGS
WILL BE SERVED ON LAMBERT
AND GATES.
Summons Issued Against the Heads
of the American Steel & Wire
Company.

New York, April 2S.-FTiends and
business associates of John w. Lam
bert, president of the American Steel
& Wire company, and John w. Gates,
chairman of the executive committee
of that company. today made elnphat-
ic deniaIs of the report that the gen
tlemen had left New York to evade
summons issued against them in con-
nection with the recent stock transac-
tons
1t is tacitly admitted, however, that
such summons have been issued and
that the matter viii be pushed. Max
Pam, general counsel for the American
Steel & Wire company, said today:
The publication this morning of the
institution of criminal proceedings
against Mr.. Gates and Mr. Lambert
Cannot remain uIrnoticed. There is
ABSOLUTELY no foundation for any such
proceedings, and in my judgment an
Interior motive prompts what has been
caused to be published
MIR. Gates and Mr.. Lambert have
been advised of this matter, and will
leave Chicago so as TO be here Mon
Gay morning, ready to submit to ser
vice of any process whatsoever en-
aiding any person making any COM
plant to have an immediate trial
Counsel have been employed Who will
not only look after the defense, but
will look to the vigorous prosecution
of the parties undertaking this pro-
ceading."
Washington Seligman Of the Wall
street firm of Selignan Vanantwerp,
who is said to have made an applica-
ton for the summons, is seemingly
lOath to discuss his attitude in the
steel and wire matter. He did say,
however, that at the proper time ne
had no doubt that plenty Of persons
would be found to take action against
Mr.. Gates.
George Lamb of the law firm Of
Lamb & Voss, admitted that he and
ex-Judge DAILY had been giving the
matter their atteniO at the request
Of Mr.. Seligman.
Mr.. Lamb said he regretted the rath-
er premature publication of the issu-
ance of a summons as it might inter
fere with some of his plans He also
said that there would be no extradition
proceedings brought against Mr.. Gates,
as he had every reason TO believe that
the chairman of the American Steel &
Wire company would be here at the
adjourned meeting on May Z.

Washington, April 2S-Quite unex-

minor Importance. Mr.. Pettigrew (S.

TAYLOR FILES HIS BRIEF.
Kentucky Gubernatorial Contest Be
fore United States Supreme Court.

Washington, April 28.-Counsel for
William S. Taylor and john Marshall,
in the contest in the supreme court
over the offices of governor and lieu
tenant governor of Kentucky, today
fled their briefs After reviewing the
various points involved, the brief con-
cludes as follows:
I'VE will not attempt any resume of
the argument; we have attempted so
to divide it as net to confuse it. We
simply insist that the pretended adju-
dication which is pleaded by Mr.. Beck
ham as the foundation of his action,
whereby ne seeks to take from William
S. Taylor and John Marshall, the Of
fees to which they certainly had the
admitted prima facie right and where
by he seeks to make himself the gov
ernOr ofKentucky and the chief mag
istrate of her people is an absolute
mUmmity that it was entered or made
in violation of rights secured both to
William S. Taylor and John Marshall
and to the people of Kentucky by the
constitution of the United States. and
that when he comes into court asking
for the judicial enforcement Of this ar
bitrary edict, the courts of the lands
of which this is the supreme head.
dhould decline to enforce it,
I'VE feel in this case is involved the
question WheTner we are political free
men or political seTfs; whether we have
in Kentucky a republic or an oligarchy;
whether we vote by right secured by
the law or by grace of a few men. IT
matters not that these men may them
selves have been elected Thev were
given no commission by the people TO
select a governor for them, and as said
by Mr.. Jefferson, in speaking for him
self and his cOnfpatriots. an elective
despotism was not the government we
fought for We have been denied re-
publicanism; the principal has failed
in its duty and we call on gaaranteer
to make good it's guaranty. We ask
for the protection of liberty and pro-
perty against the arbitrary exercise of
the powers of the government.

ARIZONA TO CHICAGO.
He IS on His Death Bed and at the
Last Realized How He Had Neg

Chicago, April 2S.-Down in Arizona
a dust-clad man rode UP to an adobe
hut three days ago. He was a. physi-
clan, and the cowboy who brought him
had Travelled many miles over the
sandy hills. The doctor entered the
little cabin and looked at the man who
lay there in the bunk.
You have one week more to live"
he said.

Stevenson grandson of Kentuckys
OLD governor, is to be married TO his
former wife at his fathers home in
WOodlaWn. The telegram he sent from
the cabin in Arizona. where he had
gone after health, was despatched to
his old Missouri sweetheart, who is now
a clerk i'm the treasury department. at
Washington. 1t asked her to come to
Chicago and meet him-the lack of
words told better than the intent that
he was dying
Yesterday morning She came and
found her former husband He was
waiting outside the station in a cab.
The driver was told to go to the court
house, and there a license permitting
them to remarry was issued. Today

Worlds fair Stevenson made consider

ago he became i'll from following the
teachings of a sect which he had
Joined. The physician animated that
consumption would follow unless he
built himself up, Stevenson went to
Arizona to improve his health.
In the meantime Mrs. Stevenson had
left her husband. He admitted last
night that in his search after great
problems he did net think of her as
often as his duty demanded. She was
left without means of support and went
to Washington, D. c.. where she SUD-
ported and cared for the two children.
The telegram was the first word Mrs
Stevenson had from her husband for
four years.
