Marquis obtained permission to sell
Some of his ancestors portraits and
other family heirlooms, valued in all
at 500, ,000 that he might raise money
enough to sustain his title in an appro-
pirate manner. 1t was then stated that
his income was only $1000-just half
what the official receiver of his prop
erty was paid.
He is a pale-faced, immature looking
man who gives no promise of ever
amounting to anything, but he can
boast some famous ancestors. One of
these distinguished himself In the fight
against the Spanish Armada; another
at Cadiz; another was one Of the
twelve delegates sent to request Charles
II to return to England. Yet another
served at Dettingen, Fontenoy and
Culloden, took over the command at
Quebec after the death of Wolfe and
later became Viceroy of Ireland To
another ancestor belongs the distinction
of having first introduced the turnip
into this country.
His Norfolk seat, Raynham Hall. is
one Of the finest in the country and II
rejoices in an extremely well authenti-
Gated ghost. This is the apparition of
Lady Dorothy Walpole. second wife of
the viscount who hourished late In the
eighteenth century. Her marital life
was such an unhappy one that she lost
her reason and was confined In ans1lp-
per story at Raynham. Her appear
ance is said to herald death either In
the Townshend or Walpole family.

LONDON, March 15.-Henry K. Ka-

lu, who was arrested to-day on the
charge of embezzlement at the request

HONOLULU. March 15.-Governor
Carter received a cablegram from the
State Department in Washington to-
day notifying him of the arrest in Lon
don of Henry K. Kapea. alias Kent
Well, alias Blake. the absconding clerk
of the Hawaiian Trust Company of this
city Kapea, after leaving here about
a year ago. was indicted for the embez-
element of $4,000 from the company.
Preparations for the extradition of
Kapea have been begun and Deputy
Sheriff Henry Veda will go to London
to bring him to Honolulu.
Governor Carter says it is the policy
of the Territory to always make every
effort to run down and extradite per-
sons who commit crimes in Hawaii, no
matter whence they come, so as to
combat the idea that such criminals are
safe once they get on board a depart
Ing steamship.

BALFOUR TRIES
TO END DEBATE
Stirs Up Storm in Com
mons by the Introduc-
ton of the "Guillotine"
is BITTERLY ATTACKED
Premier Seeks to Compel
Sanctioning of the Supply
Estimates Before March 81

LONDON, March 15.-Premier Bal
four introduced the .guillotine" in the
House of Commons this afternoon with
the object of obtaining the sanctioning
of the estimates before March 81. In
moving the closure of the proceedings
on supply, the Premier declared that
1t was necessary in order to secure the
requisite votes before the close of the
fiscal year The step taken was for the
credit of the House and not to extricate
the Government from difficulty. Pro-
longed debates delayed business and
the closure was more in consonance
with the dignity of the House than the
suspension of the II o'clock rule, the
vision of bedraggled members Of Par
lament going home at 10 o'clock In
the morning not being calculated to
raise the reputation of the House of
Commons.
Asquith (LiberaD, in a few caustic
sentences, moved the adjournment. He
declared Balfour's motion was a par
liamentary scandal and the greatest
outrage ever offered by 'nominally"
responsible minister to a 'nominally"
deliberative assembly. He accused the
Government of mlSmanagement ana
the Premier of encroaching on the
powers and privileges of the House and
said the motion marked an epoch In the
degradation of the House of Commons
from a deliberative to a dependent
body, transformed into an automatic
machine to register the will of the ex-
ecutive.
The motion to adjourn was defeated
by 266 votes to 206.
Raymond moved an amendment that
the House decline to sanction any pro-
posals for further curtailing the discus
sion of supply. The amendment was
debated UP to 7:30 o'clock, when Bal
four moved the closure, which was car
ried, 249 to 213.
Raymond's amendment was then de-
feated by a majority of 40.
The debate on Balfour's "guillotine"
motion will be resumed tomorrow.

IN A TANCLE
OYER TREATY
Republican Leaders in the
Senate at a Loss for a Plan
to Prevent Its Defeat

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Republi-
can leaders of the Senate are all at sea
respecting the action advisable In re-
gard to the Santo Domingo treaty.
Recognizing that the Democrats con-
troll more than one third OF the votes
and that two-thirds are required to
ratify the convention, the sentiment of
the Republican leaders is that the
treaty should be withdrawn by the
President. On this subject the Senate
and the President do not agree, and
the idea prevails that after one or two
days more of inconsequential discussion
the special session of the Senate will be
allowed to adjourn without date and
the treaty lapse. But this plan is not
popular in the Senate and a way TO
avoid 1t is being sought.
One alternative, which in the discus
sion concerning it was termed merely
an excuse for inaction, is that Senator
Cullom, as chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations, should offer q
resolution directing the President to
appoint a commission to make an IN
vestigation of the Santo Domingo debt
and other questions involved in the
protocol. This plan was agreed to ten
tatively as the programme most desir-
able under existing conditions, espe-
cially as it is believed that such res
olution could be adopted without de-
bate No decision was reached which
may not be changed tomorrow, and
other plans have been suggested or are
brewing.
Senator Newlands to-day offered a
resolution calling on the President to
forward TO the Senate certain informa-
ton believed to be In the possession of
the State Department In relation to
Dominican affairs. The resolution was
not seriously considered at this time,
and Newlands speech advocating adop-
tion received scant attention. Later in
the day it was whispered that If the
resolution were adopted and the Demo-
Gratis felt that all of the information
obtainable would be given to them a
detection of three or four Democratic
votes might result. This would ratify
the treaty. Leaders of the minority
party, on the other hand, took the posi-
ton that no information could be forth
coming which would change the princi-
pie involved in the treaty, and that it is
idle for the Republicans to hope for aid
from that side of the chamber. The
resolution, nevertheless, remains undis-
posed of and there was talk among Re-
publican leaders late in the day of
adopting 1t and putting it to a test as
a vote getter.
1t Is quite probable the Senate will
adjourn tomorrow or Friday.

FRENCH CABLE COMPANY

Paris Government Will Prevent Ar

Castro.

PARIS, March 15.-The French Cable
Company has committed its interests
in Venezuela to the care of the French
Government, which has given assur-
ances that it will afford the company
full protection against any arbitrary
action.
The concession of the French Cable
Company dates from 1895. The compa-
ny has spent more than $1,000, 900,
which has not yet yielded dividend
Lately the operation of the concession
has been attended by many petty an
noyances. Under the pretext that the
company has not fulfilled the terms of
it's concessions, President Castro
brought the case before a court and Sc
cured a verdict against the company,
which was appealed to higher court,
where it is still pending. If the cable
has been seized or cut it Is assumed
that 1T will turn out to be part of the
