Bajeetloa f Itawallaa Treaty
Will Wat
Settle the Qeeetlea. -
. Washington, Deo. 80. Eg-Secre tarr
of State John W. Foster, who while a
member of the Harrison cabinet nego
tiated the first treaty for annexing Ha
waii to the United 8tatea, and who
has since visited the Islands and taken
much Interst in their acquisition, whea
asked aa to tha status. of theanutiatloa
question, aaid:
"Tho opponents In congress ol Ha
waiian anneiation will not have dis
posed of the question by voting against
and defeating thia measure. They
must decide what shall bo the policy
and conduct of the United Htates
toward the Islands for the future. Hav
ing refused the application of the island
government for incorporation Into, our
Union, such an act necessarily carries
with it the right of the former to de
termine ita own political destiny, un
influenced by considerations affecting
tha United Htates.
"But inch a course woulj present
embarrassmenta to congress of no small
moment. During the last administra
tion of President Cleveland the house
of representatives resolved that 'foreign
intervention in the political affairs of
the islands will not be regarded with
Indifference by the government of tha
United Htates.' During that session
tlie senate went a step further and de
clared that 'any Intervention in tha po
litical affairs of the islands by any gov
ernment wonld be regarded aa an act
unfriendly to the United States.'
' "These utterances were in line with
the policy of our government for half
century, bnt it ia possible and compe
tent for congress to change the policy
of the government at any time. Ita
rejection of annexation wouM in effect
nullify the declarations cited, but there
would atill l another serious embar
rassment to be disposed of, to-wit, tha
reciprocity treaty. It would be easy
to annul the commercial clauses of that
convention, which would be in bar-,
mony with the views long Cherished
by many of onr public men, but the'

different question. Tuey are two In
number;
"First, a stipulation on the part of
Hawaii not, to lease, dispose or create
any lien upon any port, harbor, or
other territory to any other govern
ment,' and, second, to grant, to tho
United Htates the exclusive right to
Pearl harbor aa a coaling and naval
atation.
"The first of those political clauses
might terminate with the treaty, and
after the rejection of annexation it
would be inconsistent on our part to In
sist upon ita maintenance. The second
clause, however, is hold by tha senators
who ratified the treaty to be a per
manent grant The renunciation of
the reciprocity treaty would atill leave
us with the grant of Pearl harbor. It
ia the only place suitable for a naval
atation In those islands or anywhere
within a radiua of 2,000 miles.
"Whatever may be the aentiraent of
the American people aa to annexation,
I doubt whether any considerable body
of them would approve of the surrender
ot this very valuable atation for our
growing navy, and for which we have
paid ao dear a price In our reciprocity
arrangements. And yet, with the re
jection ot annexation we muat look fur
ward to the certainty of ita eventual
surrender, aa its occupation by ua
Would be impossible with the islands
under the domination of another pow
erful government. .
"Even if the treaty is rejected by
the United States, it will not be dim
cult for the present Hawaiian govern
ment to maintain itself against local
opposition. The property interests,
which are almost exclusively held by ,
tho white residonta and foreigners, will
control the government so long as it'!
maintains Ita Independence. But it I
plain that the islands cannot long
maintain their autonomy. The pres
ent most threatening danger is from
Japan. That country may lie perfectly
sincere in its declaration thjit it does
not aook the aunexution of the islands,
but the curient events, if not chocked,
will lead inevitably to that result.
"But I do not think the islands will
pass under the dominion of Japan.
If the people of Americau origin now
in control of the govemmont are reject
ed by congress, they will, in my opin
ion, turn to their kinsmen, the English
and Canadians. They liavo learned .
I from tho colonial history of Great
Britain that whorevor the British flag
goes there follows low taxntion, just
laws and honest government. .
"While I have no information as to

a personal friend of Colonel Aranguen,
who was employed by him before the
war, when Colonel Huis waa engineer
in charge of the Vento water works,
Itecently, under orders from General
Blanco, Colonel Jiois opened corre
rpondence with Colonel Aranguen
with the object of arranging an inter
view. Colonel Aranguen wrote that
he wonld meet the colonel if the latter
only desired to talk on personal affairs,
to which the colonel replied that lie
wished to talk about political matters,
Colonel Aranguen wrote that tie would
absolutely refuse to receive him on
these condition, and called his atten
tion earnestly to Uencral Gomel' order
that all persona entering insurgent
cumpa to offer terms of surrender
should be put to death. He assured
Colonel Hull that he waa prepared to
carry out Gomes' orders to the letter,
and that while he esteemed him highly
aa an old friend, he would hang him if
he neglected the warning,
In spite of this, Colonel Ituia started

nothing has been heard of him, and
there la little room for doubt that the
insurgent leader has put bis threat
into execution.
If thia be true, much regret will be
felt even in Cuban circles in Havana,
where Colonel Euia waa well known as
a gallant soldier and an accomplished
gentleman, but It ia pointed out that
his death will have a good effect as
showing the indomitable spirit anlmat
ing the insurgent leaders.
Major Fernandea, better known at
Pitore, the insurgent leader, who, ac
cording to official reorts, waa slain in
combat with Spanish troops, waa really
killed while ill and helpless awaiting
an oportunity to surrender to Thomas
Garcia, recently autonomist alcalde of
Guinea, an old friend. Pitore being
dangerously ill, applied to bun to ar
range torma for his surrender. Garcia
caused him to be taken to the Canoio
estate, where he made him comfortable
and arranged to have a detail of Spanish
troois sent to bring him to the hospital
in the town. Instead the troops went
to the country and butchered the man.
Henor Garcia is infuriated at this
breach of faith, and has declared his in

matter before .General Blanco and de

Washington, Dec 20. The passage
nt iba iMtiision atimonriation bill does
not by any means end the agitation
upon that subject In thia session
ooiumts. Representative Howe,
New York, has thrown down the gaunt
let witb a bill onlv ten lines long that
reneala all present pension laws and
substitutes a provision that all honors'
blv dischurifed Union soldiers who are
denendent unon their own labor for
support and who are incapacitated be
came of disability to fully earn a sup
port and who shall wake arihlavit
that effect shall receivo a pension o
$12 a month. All other Union soldiers
who bold an honorable discharge shall
receive 1 a mouth. No provision
made for widows or children. Tho
pension roll under this law, although
it would embrace all of the soldiers
who served in the federal army, would
only require an expenditure of about
one-half the present cost ol pension
This bill will bo vigorously pushed,
and it will have the support of large
number of soldiers who are not entitled
to pension under the present law. It
will not be fought by the vory large
number of twiisioners who would re
ceive as much us they do now, and if
those who receive more niake too pronv
Inent a fluht they will orouso very or
Kent oniMisition to themselves and ac
tive supHirt of the hill from those sol
diers who are not injuriously affected.
It bus long been a matter of opinion of
a great number of theso men that tha
government should be just as grateful
to one valiant soldier as to another ami
that the man who bore arms should
stand unon terms of equality, so far
as the material evidence of their coun
try's gratitude i concerned. The bill
also disposes of tho business of all pen
sioii attorneys. It likewise does away
with the necessity for the millions of
dollars expended yearly in making ex
aminations, investigations, and passing
upon the claims, the difference be-
tweeen the two rates resting entirely
uiion the affidavit of the applicant.
The aaving to the government would
amount to more than the deficit bas
ever been in one year and four-flftha of
the present pensioners among the old
soldiers themselves would not be in
juriously affected, while about 200,000
veterans who Uo not receive a pension
now would be entitlted to one under
the provision of the bill.-

Washington, Deo. 20. A spirited
debate was precipitated in the senate
today by the submission by Piatt of
Connecticut of tho report of the siecial
joint committee of the senate und house
apoiiifcd to investigate the use of al
cohol in the arts. It develoied that a
wide divergence of opinion existed
amo g the senutora as the practicabil
ity, from the point of view of the gov
ernment revenue, of reducing tho pres
ent tax upon acohol used in the arts.
Hour, who favors such a reduction, ex
pressed the opinion that if congress
would lay aside oliticu) consideration!
and deal with the liquor question
courageously and honestly liy tho im
position of an additional tax of a dollur
a barrel on beer, the qnention of the
government's revenue would take care
of itself. Vest strenuously opposed
any ndditonal tax on beer. A joint
resolution, accepting tho invitation ot
Norway to participate in an interna
tional fisheries ex)ositioii next year,
was passed.
Under a special order, 138 private
pension bills were passed.
The house today completed the con
sideration of the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill, ex
cepting the paragraph relating to civil
service. By agreement, tho debate on
this latter paragraph will go over until
after the holidays. Two amendments
were adopted. The bill, as reported,
abolishes the assay office at Dcadwood,
H. D. , and the mints at Carson City
and New Orleans. Today, the repre

for an appropriation foi transportation
of supplies to the starving Klondikers.
The bill which psssed tha house appro
priates 1176,000, ami the senate resolu
tion I-J60.000. It will benecossary bo
fore either becomes a law. for congress
to got together on a common basis.
The house bill encountered practical
lv nn nntmaition. As passed, the sum
carried by it is to bo expended unier
the direction of the secretary of war
for the purchase, traneporatlon and dis
tribution of subsistence stores. It pro
vides that these subsistence stores may
be sold at prices fixed by the secretary
of war, or donated where the people are
unable to pay for them. It empowers
him to purchase reindeer and employ
drivers not oitisens of the United
States, and allows him to disposed
the reindeer.
Represenative Cannon brought for
ward the bill, and Buyera and Bailey
spoke in favor of it. Cannon submit
ted to the house a statement prepared
bv Dr. Sheldon Jackson, one of the
agents of the commissioner of educa
tion, who waa in the region as late as
September 15, that there would be no
suffering as far up the river as Fort
Yukon, bnt that the food supply on the
Upper Yukon would not last beyond
March, and he indorsed the recommen
dation ot the secretary of war that food
be sent in by reindeer via Dyea.
Cannon said:
" Whether these miners are in Ameri
can or British territory, whether they
are American or British subjects, if
they are starving, it does not become
the American congress to hesitate about
voting them relief."
The bill waa passed without division,
although there were scattering noes
when the speaker called for the nega
tive vote.
Secretary Alger was on the floor dur
ng the debate.
Hawley, of the military affairs com
mittee, reported to the senate the Mc-Bride-
relief resolution. The committee
struck out all but the enacting clause,
and amended tha resolution by appro
priating f260,000, which is to be used
by the secretary of war for the purchase
of subsistence and supplies and for their
transporation anddistriubtion, the con
sent of the Canadian government first
to be obtained to pass over Canadian
territory. The resolution further pro
vided that the supplies are to be dis
tributed among the needy miners as tha
secretary of war may determine, and
that the supplies are to bo transported
by rneuns of reindeer, the reindeer to
be sold after they have performed their
service.
Hawley asked for Immediate consid
eration ot the ' resolution, and it was
adopted.
Becrotary Alger, in anticipation of
immediate action by congress, has bo
gun to prepare plans for carrying out
the intent of the bill. To this end,
this aftomoon he sent a telegram to
General Morriatn, commanding the de
partment of the Columbia, at Van
couver barracks, directing him to send
two or three competent officers of the
army to Dyea and vicinity to recoon
noiter and report to the department
how supplies can be sent across the

liam Csrr, child murderer, was hanged
at the Clay county cour mouse at Ub
urtv this morning.
Csrr passed a restless night. When
breakfast was brought to biro he turned
from it with disgust, lighted M cigai
and stood for long time looking ou
of his window. Presently an under
taker arrived and asked Carr what dls.
xition ha wanted made of his body,
"Let my wife take care of it," he ex
claimed, with a sob.
His spiritual advisers followed and
urged him to face his fate like man
The Bible was resd 'to the prisoner,
which wss followed by the singing of
hvmn. during which lima Carr Went
bled like a child
Carr presented a pitiable sight as h
was filially ' led to tha gallows, but
braced himself spontaneously and went
through tho ordeal with comaralive
show of strength.
The sheriff pulled the trigger at
10:34. and two minutes later the life
had gone out ot the child murderer,
His neck was broken, cracking like a
whip cord.
Following the first momentary lull
after the drop had fallen, tha 800 Sc
tntors. aa if moved by a single Impulse
rushed forward, calling, crying, shriek
lug and laughing as they surged tinder
the gallows and packed close around
the dangling corpse. The men were
angry, and they cursed one anothor,
tried to force themselves upthegallowa
atens and cried and hooted at the
sheriff
Finally, in their exoitement, the
crowd attempted to break down the
barricade surrounding the scaffold.
Sheriff Ilymon rushed through the
first breach and excitedly warned the
crowd against any further advance.
The sheriff's deputies ranged about
him aifd the crowd halted for a mo
ment. Then suddenly, with one accord.
a mighty soreum went up and surging
forward swept back the guards and
burst their way through the frail stock
aile. ,
Once in the street, the crowd gave
vent to its feelings with further shouts,
but finally disiairsed without further
trouble, and what for soma momenta
looked like a amall-sixed riot, ended
quietly.
William fair's Crime.
Kansas City, Dee. 20. William
Carr's crime was one of the most brutal
ami unprovoked in the history of tha
state. His capture and execution fol
lowed with fitting dispatch.
On October 13 last the body of Belle
Curr, a 3-year-old child by the murder
er's first wifo, was found on a sandbar
in the M it-sou ri river, near Kansas
City. The crime remained a complete
mystery until October 23 when Carr
waa arrested at bis home. He at first
denied his guilt but when brought to
Kansas City to prevent a lynching,
broke down and confessed.
Later, Carr, who is a gaunt back
woodsman, 37 years of age, told with
out the least show of emotion how be
had carried the child from its home.
tiod it arms and limbs securely, cord
ed a heavy stone to the little one's
breast, -and then, not heeding her
query: "What are you going to do,
papa? ' threw her into the water. He
admittted that Mrs. Curr told him to
get rid of the child, and it developed
that s'ie had been brutal to Belle, but
Carr maintained stoutly that his wife
had no hand in the crime.
For a time Carr delighted in his no
toriety, and talked glibly to his visit
ors of the crime. This followed by a
iiell during which he begged to be
done away with without delay. At his
trial Carr was convicted promptly, and
since then he has weakened percepti
bly, and only a week ago Sunday tried
to commit suicide by swallowing
pounded glass.
