The estimates of appropriations submitted for the terri tory of Hawaii by Governor Carter and forwarded to Congress by Secretary Shaw are. as follows: Dredging Honolulu harbor ....,$ .250.000 Refunds to territory i 173.0S2 Federal bulldlne for Honlulu 1.000.000 Federal building at Hilo : . 100,000 Ah a part of the estimates, there is eui xnltted as an appendix, a letter from the Honolulu Chamber Qf Commerce, ad dressed to the Governor, soliciting his assistance in the matter of making Hono lulu a "clean port" as againet tropical diseases, and declaring that to this end Honolulu should be made disease proof. There also is attached a letter from the Merchants' Association of Honolulu call ing attention to a serious -depression in the .wholesale and retail business tf Hat- wail, the causes assigned being "the loss of customs revenue, amounting to $5,000,000 during the four years since annexation; the forced territorial expenditure for dredging Honolulu harbor, and upon light houses and their maintenance; the Incon slstent showing made by a, comparison of receipts ana returns by tne f ederal uov ernment; decrease in population, especial ly among the most valuable workers, the Portuguese. To bring business back to its former flourislng condition, the letter says that, in view of the large profit gained by the Federal Treasury directly from Hawaii, Hawaii should have a fair proportion of the Federal receipts from that territory expended for necessary improvements therein." EXCLUSION TREATY A BIG TASK Hay and Chinese Minister Cannot Have It Ready for Some Time. WASHINGTON, Dec. C The new Chi nese exclusion treaty which Secretary Hay and Sir Hung Li Hung Chang, the Chinese Minister, are now negotiating, presents a serious and large task. When the negotiations were begun, some time ago, it was the hope, though hardly the expectation, tnat the treaty could be signed in time to be sent to the Senate at the opening of Congress. If the treaty reaches Congress before the close of the present session the negotiators will feel their work has. progressed rapidly. To safeguard the country even more ade quately than does the present treaty against the Immigration of Chinese labor ers of any class, and to alleviate as far as can safely be done the alleged hard ships which even the best. people of China are forced to undergo at the gateways of this country, are two results which it is hoped may be obtained by the new treats'. It is stated on authority that there is no foundation that the new treaty is designed to let down the bars against indiscrimi nate Chinese exclusion. ASKS FOR INQUIRY.

VEILED IN MYSTERY Mrs, Chad wick's Identity Isk Puzzle to Ail, KNOWN UNDER -MANY NAMES ShS'Has Operated In Many Cities, and. as Regular Men of Wealth Have Suffered Her Numerous Marriages. . CLEVELAND. O., Dec 6. (Special.) Greater than the mystery surrounaing Mr. Hhadwlck's sUDOOEed wealth Is tho nuzzle of her identity. The more her past career is examined the more weird be comes the confusing Jumble or names un er which It is declared she has lived. It can be stated positively that the pres ent Mrs. Chadwick. was never th wife of Dr. C. L. Hoover. There is a Mrs. Hoover now living in Buffalo. Mrs. Chadwick, nrior to 1SS6. lived with Mrs. Hoover, whose husband had died. Mrs. Hoover kept a boarding-house at 123 Euclid ave nue, and Mrs. Chadwick was tnen Known as Mme. "Rosa and Mrs. Scott. This seems to be the beginning. The bov now known as Emll Hoover was born in this cltv in 1666. and was mo son of a well-known attorney and uemo cratic politician, who died here six years aco. A sister of Mrs. Chadwick is Mrs. Alice M. York, now living In San Francisco Mrs. York is not In comfortable clrcunv stances, but obliged to live On the benefi cence of the Masons, to which order ner husband belonged.' Yet Mrs. York stood stanchly by her sister when the latter was arraigned, tried and convicted on mo chartre of forcery at Toledo In 1SS0. She also took her Into her home on Franklin avenue in this city at the time Mme. Devere obtained her fiarole. "The records of the Penitentiary reveal that Mme. Devere" reDorted her residence at the home of this sister. The authority for this statement is. be vond Question. It comes from a number of attorneys who assisted In the prosecu tion of suits against her because of her dealings with money lenders. Appearance in Cleveland. It was in IBS) that she first appeared in this city and resided with her sister, Mrs, York, at S03 Superior street. In 1SS2 her trouble with tho money lenders began. Her scheme was to bor row money on Mrs. York's furniture. She gave them other names, that of Alice M, Bestedo. Her brother-in-law forced her to leave his house, and she took up her resi dence at 149 Garden street. There she be came acquainted with Dr. Wallace S Springsteen of 3 Garden street. The mar riage of the two took placo on. December 3, 1SS3, and within twelve days the doctor applied for a divorce. Dr. Springsteen became suspicious of her and hired detectives to investigate her stories concerning herself, and learned for tho first time that she nad a sister In the city, and the story of her difficulties with the money lenders. He also learned of her birth In Eastwood, OnL, In 1S57, and her trial for forgery at Woodstock In 1S73, which charge she escaped conviction on the plea of insanity. Soon after the dl vorce was granted, which was asked for on the grounds of Infidelity. Dr. Spring' steen received .a letter from a Buffalo at torney Informing him that Mrs. Spring steen was stopping at one of the best ho tels there and that she had empowered him the attorney), to draw $6,000 on Dr. Springsteen on the grounds that she had submitted to a -separation. The doctor im mediately denounced her as an impostor. Career at Erie, Pa. She sprung into public notice next at Erie, Pa. There she was found at the Reed House, where by a trick of blood from her gums she enlisted the sympathy or a number of people. She explained that she was a wealthy woman returning to her home In Cleveland, had become un expectedly embarrassed and was success ful in obtaining a number of small loans. When the Erie people wrote for the re turn of the money they received the fol lowing note, which was destined to appear several times in subsequent court proceed ings. It read: "Dear Mazle passed away March 27 at 2:30 o'clock in the morning. She carefully pjaceu ner iun trust in God. Poor Mazle's remains were taken to her native home In Canada for Interment and were fol lowed to their last resting place by large and sorrowing concourse of friends." But Mazle, It seems, became Mme. La Rose, according to the sign displayed at her residence at 359 Superior street, de claring tnat tne madame was a clalrvov ant She then moved to Prospect street While there the newspapers contained mucn or ner statement regarding Dr. fapnngsieen. She next appeared as the wlf of J t?. Scott, a farmer living In Trumbull Coun ty, a separation followed soon after the marriage and Scott was minus his farm She returned- to Cleveland in l&S, at which tltme her association with the prominent attorney already referred- to took place, and the boy known now as Emll Hoover was. born. Career at Toledo Dramatic. In 1SS9 she went to Toledo, where her history as Mme. Devere is well known. At Toledo her career was as dramatic as It was spectacular. Fifteen years ago she was a familiar figure She could be seen in the finest or carriages driving about the city, and her entertainments were known as elaborate, the cost of flowers alone being high. Her past his tory was kept secret yet by degrees It developed that she was born in Wood stock, Canada, and was the daughter of Mrs. Mary Ann BIgley. She began to secure large sums of money from various men. It Is asserted that a prominent doctor gave up all and was completely under her control. He Is today a physical wreck. A bank presi dent since dead, was deceived, and how much he loaned her will never be learned. Two express officials and a. grain mer chant are said to have been caught for large sums. One of. "the stories told by Mme. Devere In Toledo was that of her marriage tn n wealthy gentloman near Manchester, Eng- iana. wno was Kiuea snortly after in a runaway, and from whose estate she re ceived an. annual income, of $1000. Then came her arrest on the charge of forgery. The first inUmatlon or the for gers' came from Cleveland' on January 12, 1E90, when a message was received at Toledo that Richard Brown, a wealthy commission merchant of Youngstown. O., went to Cleveland on a notice from A Cleveland bank that his note for J2o,000 was due. This note proved to be a clever forgery. The First National and North ern National Banks of Toledo each had notes of $5000 for collection, both payable to the order of Florida G. Blythe. These notes were similar to the larger one at Cleveland, and the local bankers imme diately became frightened and began an Investigation. Clerk Figured In Forgery Case. Figuring In the forgers' case was Jo seph Lamb, a clerk In the United States Express office. He secured the loans from the banks on the forged paper, but later developments disclosed that he did It Innocently and without Intent to do wrong. He merely did the woman's bid ding, Through Mr. Lamb It was learned that the notes came from Mme. Devere; a clairvoyant From this point affairs began to turn rapidly. An expose by the Blade followed. and Mme Devere and Lamb were arrest ed. The local oaoers at that time told how, though bearlns the name here of Mme. Devere, the woman was also known as Lydia D. Scott Mary Hoover, Lizzie Hcpver, Lydia Clingan and that her right name was Louise BIgley. roe following day, January 16, Mme. -De vere was again arrested on a similar warrant only giving all her aliases, in cluding the one of Florida G. Blythe. and charging her with uttering the forged notes. Her ball was Increased to $2000, whfch she could not give n hen the - case came ud for hearing Mr. Lamb, In the meantime having come to the conclusion that he bad been duped by the woman, told all he knew of the affair. He was a spiritualist himself, and Relieved all that the clairvoyant told nim. The story of her operations are clearly gleaned from the evidence given by Lamb during' the trial, which resulted in the latter being acquitted and Mme. Devere being sent to the penitentiary for nine and one-half years. After serving a "little more than three years she was paroled. During her trial at Toledo It devel oped that she had formerly lived at Woodstock. Ont. as Elizabeth BIgley. and that she had been tried In 1ST9 on the charge of forgery at Woodstock and ac quitted on the grounds of insanity. In reporting to penitentiary officials, as is required , of paroled prisoners, Mme. De vere stated at one time that she was liv ing with her mother. Mrs. Ann BIgley. or Woodstock. Ont Married to Dr. Chadwick. Mme Devere next appeared at Cleve land as Mrs. C. L. Hoover and lived on the west. side for several years under that name; She married Dr. Chadwick at Windsor. Ont. on August 25. 1S97. There Is another record of their nfkrriago a few months earlier at Pittsburg; at which time the name on the license aoDearcd as Leroy Chadwick. This may have been an errur. -. Three years ago Irving Belford; vClexk of the United States Circuit Court at To ledo, met Mrs. Chadwick in the store of Stowell & Hubbard. He snoko to the proprietors of the store and told them who she was. They demanded to know what her credit was before allowing a purchase of $6000 worth or diamonds which she had selected. She displayed a letter or credit which was accepted. She then turned to Belford and upbraided him for his action, saying that she had tried to live down her past LAWYERS ARE ASTOUNDED. Still They Believe Solution of Mys tery Is. Near at Hand. NEW YORK. Dec 6. The startling ad mission by President Beckwith of the Citizens' National Bank of Oberlin, O., .that he and Cashier Spear or that bank had Indorsed Mrs. Cassle I. Chadwlck's notes to the amount of $1,250,000 and that they bore what purported to be the signa ture of Andrew Carnegie, has astounded the New York lawyers representing the various interests Involved In a case which becomes more surprising with every new revelation. That President Beckwlth's statement brings to light new and Im portant phases of the case and "brings much nearer the Inevitable uncovering or the entire affair, is the belief of a ma jority of the attorneys interested. The result of today's moves in tho case are awaited with increased interest in the apprehension .that the crisis is near and may be reached today. A sensational report today was that one of the local counsel for Mrs. Chad wick had decided to withdraw from the i case. Percy W. Carver, counsel for Herbert D. Newton, or B'rookline, Mass., who has claims or almost $200,000 against Mrs. Chadwick. speaking of the statement made last night by President Beckwith, said developments had come so fast that he did no,t know.whai to say. He thought however, that Mr. Beckwith must have made the statement under pressure, or. being "on the verge of nervous collapse, "had lost his nerve." "I am still confident that Mrs. Chad wick will settle all the claims against her." said Mr. Carver. Mr. Carver was asked the direct question if Mr. Newton was Induced to loan Mrs. Chadwick money on a note bearing the name An drew Carnegie, and he replied: "Mr. Newton was shown a note." Ho would not say, however, whether or not it bore the namo of Mr. Carnegie. Mrs. Chadwick rose early at the hotel and sent for all the morning papers. Mr. Carpenter, of counsel for Mrs. Chadwick, called at the Holland House shortly after 6 o'clock and was In con ference with Mrs. Chadwick about an hour. He would say absolutely nothing about the Beckwith statement He said he had told Mrs. Chadwick she need have no fear of arrest He added that If a warrant were issued for her Mrs. Chad wick would be found in the Holland House. I. R. Reynolds, of the Wade Park Banking Company, of Cleveland, arrived here today, accompanied by his attorney, Andrew Squlers. He went to the Waldorf-Astoria and registered, but left there shortly afterward for another ho tel. Possible developments affecting the whereabouts of a note ror $500,000 which Prosldent Beckwith says ho Indorsed ror Mrs. Chadwick are anticipated by the attorneys, now that Its existence has ror the first time become known publicly. Mr. Beckwith said that Mrs. Chadwick gave her word not to dispose or it or the money on It, and counsel ror Herbert D. Newton, or Boston, is authority ror the statement that the Newton, loan was not based on such a note. Whether the existence or this note will point to other loans by Mrs. Chadwick, as yet not made public. Is a matter or much speculation. IN STATE OF COLLAPSE. President Beckwith Scarcely Able to Bear Trying Ordeal. OBERLIN, O.. Dec 6. PresldentjBock with was practically In a state or collapse today as a result" or tho trying ordeal through which he passed yesterday, In connection with his hearing before the United States Commissioner at Cleve land. Beckwith Is completely prostrated, and his grief is pitiful. Today, In speaking of the Carnegie notes, the aged banker vehemently de clared that if the -signatures were forg eries, then the hand of, the .law should be laid upon Mrs. Chadwick.' 'Why should I stand the brunt of all this trouble which has been directly brought about by the acts or that wo man?" he cried. Continuing; fie said: "I had every reason to believe that the notes were genuine .Indeed, Mrs. Chad wick swore they were. She solemnly de clared that she had seen Mr. Carnegie write his signature on them. To confirm this she brought an attorney with her who declared he was the legal rep rcsentatlve or Mr. Carnegie, and this at torney, whose name I cannot now state. declared that he knew positively that the signatures were genuine. "It is true that we Mr. Spear and my- seir did Indorse tne notes, but, ot course, we had no idea they were to be put to the use that 'they were afterward. "Then again, we had the positive assur ance or Ira Reynolds, secretary of the Wade-Park Banking Company, at Cleve land, that he had the securities that Mrs Chadwick claimed she had. "Oh. my God," exclaimed the old man. "If I could only have my life to live again for the past two years that I might save my name from this great dishonor that has befallen me." - SPEAR'S WIFE NOT INSANE.

All they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure. there is every reason why women should not trust their delicate constitu tions in the hands of unskilled persons It requires a thorough medical education to appreciate and understand the wom anly organism. When a woman has ills and pains that she cannot bear when life seems dark for any, woman, she should confide her troubles to a physi cian of standing in the community, or one who has a national reputation. Cer tainly it would not be the part of wisdom to confide in an ignorant person without medical education simply because she was a woman. There is every reason why she should write to some great specialist, one who has made the dis eases of women a specialty for a third of a century, like Dr. R. V.
