African Shares Depressed.
London. June 15. Officials of the
Union Steamship Company, to which
the steamer Scot belongs, confirm the
announcement made last night 'in a
special dispatch from Funchal, island of
Madeira, that Barney Barnato, the
South African diamond king, committed
suicide by jumping overboard while
that vessel was on the way from Cape
Town, which port she left on June 2, for
Southampton
The death of Barnato baa caused a sen
sation in financial circles. . His office
here was besieged this morning by hun
dreds of eager inquirers, and even mem
bers of bis hrm bad not received con
firmation of the " news. Throgmorton
street was filled with excited crowds of
brokers discussing the news of Barnato's
death. His self-destruction is generally
suppoeed to be the outcome of his recent
illness at Cape Colony, which, according
to rumors on the stock exchange, was in
the nature ot brain trouble.
The African market, as a result of the
death of Barnato, was depressed today,
xne ran Man uazette, commenting on
the death of Barnato, says he has been
mentally unwell for three months, and
that he has been under constant sur
veillance.
The Barnatos lived in the Spencer
house here for several years, and were
returning to occupy their gorgeous hone,
just finished, on Park Lane, opposite
Stanhope Gates.
Although the stocK exchange was ex
cited by the news of Barnato's death,
there was no panic,

Liliuokalani Left Out.
Washington, June 15. One point of
importance in which the Hawaiian
treaty differs from the convention ne-
eotiated by Secretary Foster in Presi
dent Harrison's administration is the
omission of any provision for ex-Queen
Liliuokalani and Princess Kaiulani. In
the orjgjntti treaty it was provided that
I
the u mtea slates snouia pay we ex
queen the sum of $20,000 cash and the
8ame amount of money as pension
eacn vear durintr the remainder of her
jife pr0vided that she in good faith sub
mitted to the government of the United
States and the local government of the
islauds. Princess Kaiulani being next in
line of royal blood, was to receive a cash
payment of $150,000, but no pension un
der a similar proviso as in the case of
the ex-queen.
It is understood that any objection
that might be expected to the annexation
of the islands based on the large propor
tion of coolies in the population, has
been forestalled by an article not only
prohibiting further immigration of such
laborers to the Hawaiian islands, but
also prohibiting the coming of any
Chinese from the islands to other- parts
of the United States.-
HARD FOR LO'S EXTRA WIVES.
After July 1st Indians Will Be Allowed
but One Squaw Each.
Pbbby, O. T.. June 15. The Chey
enne and Arapahoe Indians were
wrought up over the new law which goes
into effect July 1st, relating to polygamy.
After that time each of the forty Chey
enne Indians who have more than one
wife will have to choose one of the two,
three or five wives that he has, and the
cast-off wives leave him.
To the squaws who have become en
lightened as to their situation, the mat
ter has become tragic. Every ' squaw
who wants to remain with her husband
is doing her best to please him, so that
she will be the lucky wife. There are
forty of these polygamists, and in all
they have over 100 squaws.
Evicted by Indians.
Wichita, Kan., June 15. A party of
prospectors headed by William Cooley,
an old Montana miner, ventured into
the Wichita mountains . last week and
began to prospect for gold, which is re
puted to be there in abundance. They
were discovered by a band of Indians
and forced to flee for their lives, leaving
all their tools and equipments. The
redskins pursued them for many miles
from Cutthroat gap, where they were
camped, in the direction of Navajo,
which the prospectors, being on the
fleetest horses, were enabled to reach in
safety. The Indians are determined to
keep the prospectors out.

THE QUEEN IS ALMOST BLIND.
Regency Under the Prince of Wales May
Soon Be Established
London, June 16. The whole aspect
of the coming jubilee has been sud
denly changed by painful information
which comes from a source making it
impossible to doubt its accuracy. It is
announced on the authority of one of
the royal physicians attendant upon her
majesty that "the queen is almost to
tally blind."
This is the true reaeon why she will
not ride alone in the procession, and
why she will not leave the carriage at
the service at St. Paul's cathedral Tues
day. It is semi-officially announced
that she will be unable to respond to the
greetings extended along the line of the
royal procession.
This explains the recent revival of gos
sip o a regency nnder the Fnnce of
Wales in the near future.

hounds, pursued and captured Cy

Azuza, in the San Gabriel valley.
The crime was comitted at midnight.
The girl was awakened to find herself in
the arms of a strange man, who was in
the act of carrying her out of her room
through a window. Realizing her peril,
she screamed and siezed the window
eash, holding on with such tenacity that
the man let go and fled.
Bitten by a Rattlesnake.
Redding, Cal., June 19. The 3-year-
old child of Mrs J. H. Porter, living six
miles east of Redding, was struck by a
rattlesnake and may die. The little one
was playing in the yard with its mother
not six feet away when the reptile ap
peared. Mrs. Porter, alarmed by the
whirr of its rattle, screamed and leaped
toward the baby. The cry and her quick

coiled around the baby's leg, and it
struck at the child, fastening its fangs
in the little one's arm. The child is in
a precarious condition.

Hawaiian Annexation Advo
cates Confident of Victory.
FIFTY-SEVEN FOR RATIFICATION
EleTen Are Undecided, and From These
the Three Votes Lacking Will
Probably Come.
New Yobk, June 17. A Herald special
from Washington says:
There are 57 senators who can be
counted on to vote for the ratification of
the Hawaiian annexation treaty. This
is just three short of the requisite two
thirds. There are 11 other senators who
are undecided as to bow they will vote
and 21 who are opposed to the treaty.
Those in favor of annexation are :
Aldrich, Allen, Allison, Baker, Bur
rows, Cannon, Carter, Chandler, Clark,
Cullum, Davis, Deboe, Elkins, Fair
banks, Foraker, Frye, Gallinger, Gear,
Heitfeld, Hoar, Jones of Nevada, Kyle,
Lodge, McBride, McMillan, Mantle,

na, Hansbrougb, Hawley.
Those who are undecided are Butler,
Daniel, Gorman, Kenny, Harris of Kan

Those opposed to the ratification of
the treaty are :

Clay, Cock r ell, Faulkner, Gray, Harris
of Tennessee, Jones of Arkansas, Lind
say, McEnery, Mills, Pasco, Petigrew,
Tillman, Vest, Walthall, White.
lhis is the result ol a careful canvass
of the senate. The advocates of annexa
tion are confident of their ability to se
cure the necessary votes and bring about
the ratification of the treaty. Some of
the senators who are noncommital are
inclined to favor annexation, but want
to hear the arguments on both sides be
fore finally deciding. Others are inclined
to oppose the treaty, but they are open
to conviction if its supporters can bring
forward convincing arguments.
An Bngllshman's View of It.
Plymouth, England, June 17. Bishop
Willis, of Honolulu, has just arrived
here from Hawaii. In an interview he
is quoted as saying the feeling in the is
lands is against United States and great
ly in favor of British annexation.- He
said he thought if Great Britain would
not take the country the next best course
was for Japan to reinstate Queen Liliua-
kalani.
Referring to the proposed annexation
of the islands by the United States, - the
bishop said the proposal was only ad
vanced in order to please 'certain - poli
ticians, as America did not want the is
lands, because the Chinese exclusion act
would become nullified if Hawaii was
annexed. The bishop is quoted as say
ing there is no doubt Japan will enforce
her claims in Hawaii, in which country
her commercial prospects are good.
Lilluokalani's Grievance.
New York, June 17. A Journal spec
ial from Washington says :
In an interview ex-Queen Lilioukalani
said, of the proposed treaty between the
United States and Hawaii :
"Fifteen hundred people are giving
away my country. The people of my
country do not want to be annexed to the
United States nor want annexation. ' It
is the work of 1500 people, mostly Amer-
cans, who have settled in Hawaii. Of
this number those who are not native
born Americans are of American parent
age, v
"None of my people want the islands
annexed. The population of the islands
is 109,000. Of this number, 40,000 are
native Hawaiians. The rest are Ameri
cans, Germans. Portuguese, Japanese,
Chinese, English and small portion from
other countries. The 1500 Americans
who are responsible for what was done
today are running the affairs of the
islands.
"There is no provision made in this
treaty lor me. In the Harrison treaty I
was allowed $20,000 per year, but that
treaty never went into effect. I have
not received one dollar from the United
States. - No one looked after my inter
ests in the preparation of this treaty.
Yet my people, who form so large a part
of the population of the islands, would
want justice done me."

cause of the latter's retirement from the

part of the plaintiff to show that the at
torney had declined to give false testi
mony even under a contract awarding
him 5 per cent of the property which he
was engaged to wrest from the estate of

suddenly, the strain of the past four
days having proved to much for her,

-AGAINST DEPUTY MARSHALS.
Desperate Battle In the Wilds or Indian
Territory.
Wichita, Kan., June 17. A battle
was fought between deputy United
States marshals and outlaws in the
heavily timbered country about 30 miles
northeast of the town of Antlers, I. T.,
last night. The posse of deputies was
headed by Deputy United States Mar
shal McEwan, of Leigh, I. T., and the
leader of the outlaws was R. M. Mc
Carty, who has an unenviable record as
a "killer."
A bullet from McEwan's gun killed
McCarty and seriously wounded a man
who sat in front ot him on his horse.
McCarty was dead when the officers
came up, but his companion was game
and fought with pistol and knife until
overcome. Ibe rest of the outlaws es
caped. One or two ot the popse received
slight wounds, but none were hurt ser-.
iously.
The wounded outlaw refused to give .
his name and to'd the officers just to call
him "Judge". He has been lodged in
the federal jail at Antlers on a charge of
assault to kill a United States officer.
A MAN OF MANY NAMES.
Each
Claimant for His Money Gives
Htm a Mew One.
Montreal, June 17. Roland Israel
Gideon Barnett, of No 96 St. Francis
Xavier street, this city claims to be a
brother of the late Barney Barnato, the
South African diamond king. " Barnett
states that Barnato's real name was Bar
ney Isaac Aldri Barnett, and that he was
one of four children, three boys and a
girl, ot whom Roland I. G. Barnett was
the eldest.
The father was a musician, connoisseur
of paintings and well-know picture re
storer, and for years had charge of the
estate of the old Earl of Dudley. He
gave his children a first rate education.
Barney was educated at Heidelberg, and
the reason that he wore glasses was that
he spoiled his eyes studying the strange
German characters.
Barney, Roland asserts, was never a
circus performer. The brothers parted
in anger in England, Barney going to
Kimberly and Roland coming to Ameri
ca, itoiana win immeaiaieiy open cor
