Rev DR.. l.. NJ. Hartwell, the recently
arrived president of the Hawaiian An
ti-Saloon League, preached his first
sermon In Honolulu yesterday after
noon at the 4 O'Clock services for young
men at the Y. NJ. c. A. Hall
Secretary Brown introduced Mr.. Hart
well after the opening hymns, and ap-
plause greeted him as he stepped forth.
The minister explained that he was suf-
fering from very bad cold which
would have prevented his, speaking had
he not promised Mr.. Brown on the day
of his arrival 20 speak. His voice was
so hoarse that he spoke with difficulty
and his sermon was on that account
brief but his words were received with
great appreciation
The text was taken from Revelations
22:17 and the spirit and the bride
say Come, and let him that heareth say
Come, and let him that is athirst come
and whosoever will let him take the
water of life freely" DIR. Hartweli
dwelt on the invitation of the thrice
repeated word come"

SENATE.

Washington, January 12.-No legis-
lative business of Importance was
ti-ansacted by the senate today The
session was devoted to services held
in memory of the late Senator Cushman
K. Davis, of Minnesota.
The long and distinguished services
of the Minnesota senator and the init
mate relations he sustained to his col
leagues in the senate had -endeared him
to all, and when his demise came every
suffered a personal loss.
For many years Senator Davis served
as chairman OF the committee OH for
eign relations and in that capacity and
in the capacity Of a member of the
Paris peace commission, he vas inti-
mately identified with the foreign af-
fairs of the government
Immediately upon the conclusion of
the routine morning business Senator
Nelson, of Minnesota, called up his res
olutlOn expressive of the regret Of the
senate at the death of Senator Davis.
AS Senator Nelson called up the rese-
dution, Mrs. Davis, accompanied by
aaome FRIENDS, entered the executive gall
lery of the senate. In addition several
friends of the late senator occupied
seats in the executive gallery during
the delivery of the memorial orations.
The speakers of the occasion includ-
ed Senators Morgan, of Alabama,
Clark, of Wyoming; Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, and Daniel, of Virginia, all of
whom were associated with Senator
Davis as members of the foreign rela-
tions committee. Others who pronounc

WHOLESALE SURRENDER
OF FILIPINO INSURGENTS.
Brought About by the Fear of Deportation The
Prisoners of War No Longer ReeaSed-Ihe
Prison Quarters in Manila.

couple Of battalions of the Third and
Sixth artillery. The others are prisons.
A serviceable combination of bath
room and laundry is at the end of t
buildings. The prisoners food-pork,
beef, greens and rice-is cooked in a
with native doctors. For an hour at
midday the prisoners friends are ad-
mitted to the yard. Whatever is pass
ed in to a prisoner is handed across by
a sentry, and scrutinized.
No insubordination has been shown,
as yet, in the Quartet. Most of the in
mates show some degree Of military
training in their bearing, saluting, ETC.
They acknowledge having been -insur-
rectos," but say they want to be 'ami-
gos." Comparatively few vicious tenden
cies have been noted among them thus
far. Captain Miller. of the Sixth artil-
lery, who is in command Of the Quar-
tel, works the prisoners to some extent
in cleaning the barracks and grounds
and at odd jobs.
General Young attributes the recent
wholesale surrenders in his district
largely to the fear Of deportation to
Manila or elsewhere. an apprehension
which Is exceedingly developed, espe-
cially among natives who have been
trying to maintain friendship both
with the Aemricans and insurgents.

THE HAY-PAUNCEFoTE TREATY.
Senate Amendments Under Considera-
tfon by British Foreign Office

Washington, January 12-OfficiaI in
FORMATION has reached the state depart
ment to the effect that the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty, as amended by the United
States senate, is now under considera-
ton by the British cabinet officials,
with a view to finally determining
whether the instrument i'm it's amended
form shall be agreed to or not
There is nc intimaltion at hand as
to the probable result of the conference
now going on. That it is actually
taken up gives promise that an answer.
one way or the other, will be speedily
forthcoming, and that there will be
no long drawn out delay over the nego-
tiations
There IS a prevailing feeling. unof-
flcaally expressed by those who have
Followed the recent course of affairs,
that the indications are favorable to an
acceptance. 1t was pointed out in this
connection by an official that if a. re-
lection was contemplated. probably 1t
would have been made at once. where
as. the delay of about two weeks since
the amended treaty reached the Lon
don foreign office, gave evidence that
there was a desire on the pant of the
caNnet officials there to consider the
matter with much deliberation, in thu
nope of bringing the two governments

FROM UNKNOWN WORLDS
Mr.. E0OrS ELECTRIC FLASHES FROM
SOME PLANET
William A. Eddy Claims to be Able to
Draw Electric Signals by Means of
HIS Kite Wire From Some Place Be-
yond the CIouds-His Reasons for
thinking They Came From Some
Planet

New York, January 12.-William A
Eddy, of Bayonne, N. Y, says tha,
since 1892 he has drawn from his kite
wire hundreds of electric signals. both
regular and irregular, which may have
come from some planet, and that the
signals have been usually in groups of
three, regularly timed like a Morse
sounder.
When the ends of the kite sustained
steel wires are separated by silk strands
the sparks jump at twelve second inter
walls. Then there are mysterious disap-
pearances of all electric action for sew
eral minutes.
These electric sparks come from a
high point in the air not near to the
low tension electric currents of trolley
and live wires.
Mr.. Eddy is about to begin a series
Of careful measurements of these spark
lengths. He does not believe that the
Morse saunders affect his wire, because
the dynamo electricity sticks to it's
wire and does not radiate to unknown
distances, SO far as known, as do the
high tension sparks used in wireless
telegraphy and the same high tension
sparks drawn by him from the clouds.
Mr.. Eddy says that these spark sig
nails may come from an outer planet
because electricity travels at the rate
Of 190,0OO miles second and is as tire
less as light. which travels 1SS,3OO miles
a second, as measured by a rapidly
revolving toothed wheel. Great varia-
bility in effect is produced when there
Is apparently no change whatever in
the condition of the upper air, so far as
known.
Mr.. Eddy has been trying to deciph-
er these signals since 1892. 1t is also
to be noted that Tesla's signals come
from Pixies Peak, and at high point
in the air.
Mr.. Eddy points out that electricity
is Superior to light because an inter-.
ruption can be transmitted, while light
suffuses around a dark shadow, es-
pecially if the shadow is of small di-
ameter.

A Panic IN A THEATRE.
FEARFUL RESULTS.
The Cry of Fire Throws the Audience into Frenzy
Women and Children Trampled to Death-Sk
Persons Killed and Many Injured.

Chicago, January 12.-Six people were
crushed to death and as many more Sc
riously injured in panic which follow
ed mans cry Of fire" late this after
noon in West Twelfth street Turner
hall. About eight hundred people were
In the place, gathered to witness the
performance of play entitled "The
Greenhorn."
Inc play was in Yiddish and the au
dlence comprising for the most part
women and children, was all Hebrew
The hall stands in the center of a dis
trlct densely populated by Jews. The
play was nearly over when the cry
which caused the panic was raised, and
within five seconds after it rang through
the hall the entire audience was convert
ed into a frantic mob, every member of
which was fighting for the safety which
lay beyond the doors OF the building.
The hall is frequently used for dances
and when theatrical performance is
given, chairs are set for the spectators.
AS soon as the wild rush toward the
doors began, chairs were knocked
down in every direction. the aisles dis
appeared and the excited people ran,
climbed and stumbled over the chairs
in their way toward the doors
Around the upper part of the hall ex-
tends balcony which is open only at
one end Here were seated $50 women
and children at the farther end Of bal
cony, away from the stairway. The
women, seeing that the rush toward the
exit was blocked to them and their
children. began at once to throw the lit
tie ones over the railing to the floor ten
feet below The children fell into the
midst Of the maddened throng and were
at once trampled under their feet. 1t
Is known that three of the dead were
children who We're thrown from the bal
cony and were trampled by the crowd.

Correspondence of Associated Press.)
Manila, December 15.-Since the ex-
piration OF the period within which am
nesty was granted to captured insur-
gents the insurrectos have been sent to
Manila in patches of dozens, scores
and hundreds.
It is but month since the military
government began retention of the
prisoners OF war. and already the
quarters fitted up to hold them are fill
ed. Liberty gained formerly simply by
swearing allegiance to the United
States was looked upon by the insur
gents as so easy of attainment that
the Yankees were set down as being
simple indeed for being so lenient.
Within the past few weeks, however,
the insurgents have been learning that
Sterner war measures are in force, and
today 1,500 insurgents are in confine-
nnent in this city, exclusive of several
hundred natives. so-called political
prisoners, most of whom may also be
classed as insurgents.
The question as to what is to be done
with these prisoners Of war appears to
be wholly undetermined. They have
not been tried or sentenced. and appar-
emily are unlikely to be for a long time
to come. Their relatives and friends,
who, once daily, have opportunity to
visit them, follow the officials in
charge about and importune them for
their friends release. which they imag-
inc the officials may do at will.
Practically all the war prisoners
thus far brought in are confined in the
