G AYToN-BULwER TREATY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ga trans
isthmian canal under American con-
troll is now assured. The amendment
Of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty removes
what might have been diplomatic OBJ
stacle to Government construction of
the waterway. Both the Senate and
House committees have voted with
out dissenting voice to report practi-
cally identical bills.
Senator Morgan of Alabama. chair
man of the Senate committee. said to-
day he expected the bill to pass the
Senate this month. Representative
Hepburn, chairman of the House COM
mittee said he expected it to pass the
House during this month. A poll of
both Houses recently published shows
that when 1t comes to a vote the bill
will pass both houses by overwhelm-
| ing mljorities.
Both bills, while differing in Ian
| guage somewhat, authorize the Presi-
| dent ID secure from Nicaragua and
| Costa Rica control of such territory as
may be necessary to construct and de-

| indefinite appropriation to be used in
securing such control Citizens of Mic

ATTACKS HONOLULU.
Col. Little Wants Some Other Ha-
waiian Capital.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ESPECIALLY
At the hearing on the Hawaiian bill
today, Col Gilbert F. Little offered the
following amendment:
Section g. That a territorial govern
ment is hereby established over said
territory, with its temporary capital at
Honolulu on the Island of Oahu.
Speaking to his resolution Mr.. Little
said:
we respectfully suggest that it is in
expedient to finally determine, by this
Dill, that the permanent capital of a
territory in its infancy, and just on the
threshold of great and prosperous
changes, should be definitely located in
a city with no more natural resources
surrounding it than Is possessed by Ho-
nolulu. Its harbor is incapable of suffi-
cient expansion for the commerce OF
the islands capital, it's location is bad
its sanitary conditions are excessively
poor and few years of modern, intel
hgent prosperity under the Stars and
Stripes shall witness such a transform
alton as to population and capital and
commerce, as to make it eminently
proper that the permanent capital o.
the territory should be elsewhere than
IN Honolulu. hence, we suggest that
the section be amended so as to locate
the temporary capital only at Honolulu
and make such provision as may be
deemed expedient for determining, by
vote, at some future time, where the
permanent location of the capital
shall be.

GoEBEL DEAD.
Kentucky on the Verge of Serious
Political Trouble.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 3.-The
bullet fired by an unknown assassin
last Tuesday morning ended the life of
William Goebel at Gas O'Clock this
evening. The only persons present at
the death-bed were Mr.. Goebers sis
ter, Mrs. Braunacker, and his brother,
Arthur Goebel, of Cincinnati, who have
been in constant attendance at Mr..
GoebePs bedside, and DIR. Mccormack.
Justus Goebel, another brother, who
has been hurrying from Arizona as
fast as steam would carry him, in a
vain hope of reaching his dying broth
er in time for some token of recugni-
ton, arrived forty minutes too late.
Oxygen was frequently administered
the dying man during the afternoon in
an effort to keep him alive until his
brothers arrival, but in vain. For, by
cruel irony of fate, the train on which
Justus Goebel was travelling to Frank
fort was delayed several hours from
various causes, and when Mr.. Goebel
finally reached here it was only to
learn that his brother was dead
Among bitter partisans of both parties
deep grief is manifested, and already
a movement has been started to erect
a fitting monument for Mr.. Goebel's
memory on the spot in the State house
grounds where he was shot.
Politics Not to Blame.
COLUMBUS, o., Feb. "a special to
the Dispatch from Wellston, Ohio,
says: A stranger arrived here last
night and announced that he was in
Frankfort the day Goebel was shot. He
gave Rodman as his name and claimed
to know all about the shooting of Goe-
bel. He said:
"A trap had been set for long time
and the opportunity was anxlously
of John Sanford. The party who
| fired the shot was near friend an6
intimately connected with Sanford. Pol
itics had nothing to do with the affair."

Cha nberlain's Defence.

LONDON, Feb. SIN the House of
Commons today, replying to a question,
the Secretary of State for the Colonies,
Joseph Chamberlain, admitted that a
critical stage of the war had been
reached and that the situation was un-
doubtedly serious, though, he added, he
did not believe the country was in dan
ger. If the preparation for war had
been insufficient, he said, it was Who'll
ly due to the fact that the Govern
ment was determined to do everything
to secure peace and to do nothing to
endan3er it. Chamberlain further de-
clared the war was just, necessary and
righteous. He regretted the proposed
amendment to the address because, he
said, it would throw doubt upon the
unitedness of, the kingdom.
1--WE have suffered checks said
Chamberlain, land have made mis-
takes. / am not anxious to Dispute as
to the blame. Let the Government
bear the brunt until the time comes
when, under happier auspices, we can
see how far the blame is to be appor-
toned between this system and those
administering it. In the meantime
blame us. What is now urgent is to
redress those checks and to repair mis-
takes. You say we have sent too few
troops, but we are pouring them into
South Africa. In few weeks we will
have 100000 men there. We will have
as many mounted men as there are
mounted Beers.
Meanwhile the spirit of the nation
is unbroken. There is no sacrifice
which We are unwilling to make. There
is no sacrifice we are unwilling to ask
of the colonies if we think it neces-
sary to success. l must go further
than this and admit that this var, I'M
der new conditions, in new country,
with new arms, against people whose
tenacity and courage are admirable as
the courage and tenacity of our own
soldiers, has required a larger scheme
than any the Government has yet been
called upon to meet
1t would be premature" coltin-
| ued the Colonial Secretary, ito talk
of terms of settlement. Speaking for
the Government, there will be no sec
| ond Majuba Hill. Never again shall
| the Beers erect in the heart of South
Africa citadel from whence to pro-
coed to disaffection and race animosity
Never again shall they be able to en-
danger the paramountcy of Great
Britain. Never again shall thew be
able to treat an Englishman as though
he belonged to an inferior race"

forbidding coast of Molakei, where the
leper colony Is situated. Think of the
anguish of any one on discovering that
