HE SURPRISED THEM
The President Withdraws tee Hawaiian
. ;- Treaty'.' ' "
NO EXPLANATION IS YET GIVEN.
It Is Understood the- Present Treaty
: Does Not Suit HimFirst Batch
- of appointments. '
. Washington, March '0. Cleveland's
first executive communication to the
senate came this afternoon, and proved
a surprise not only to republicans, but
to many democrats. In his communi
cation Clevfrand withdrew , the treaty
with Hawaii ent to the senate a few
weeks ago. by Harrioon. The message
was short, simply requesting the senate
to transmit to the executive the pro
posed treaty with Hawaii. The message
was receive'd. without comment on the
floor of the senate. .The republican sen
ators regard this action in a line with
the course pursued by Cleveland in
withdrawing the Nicaraguan treaty sent
to the senate by Arthur, in the closing
days of his administration.' The dem
ocratic senators look upon the act from
twofold points of view, some taking the
ground that it shows Cleveland is against
annexation or 'American domination of
any sort in the Hawaiian islands, whPe
others hold.he-will send in another treaty
more to his liking. - :
j It is understood-the reason for the
withdrawal is because he is. opposed to
the treaty la its present form. Yhethe
or not he will favor the making of an
other treaty, and whether it will be an
annexation treaty or not, "cannot he said
on authority at this time, but a gentle
man who has talked with the president
oh the subject said this afternoon that
another treaty would be made. It Is
intimated the president ; v will suggest .
either by message or personally to the
senators mat a committee oe appointed
to visit the Hawaiian islands this year
during the interval between the adjourn
ment of the specRil session of the senate
and the reconvening of the next con
gress. Cleveland heretofore has been
quite solicitous on this point and made
inquiries as to- whether or not resolu
tions providing for such a commission
had gone through. He had apparently
been under the impression that it had
been adopted.' He learned it had . not
been, but that the senate had authority
alone to provide for such a comif.ission,
probably to consist of senators, and that
the contingent fund of the eenate could
be drawn on for the purpose.
Lacky Democrats. .
Washington, March 9. The president
has sent the following nominations to
the senate: -
Josiah Quincy, of Massachusetts, as
sistant secretary of stale.
Robert A. Maxwell, of New York,
fourth assistant postmaster-general.
Isaac P. Gray, of Indiana, minister to
Mexico. -
.Patrick A. Collins, of Massachusetts,
consul-general to London. '. .
F. P. Gale, of New Mexico, receiver of
public moneys at Eoswell, N. M. - i
The Financial Question.
Washington, March 9. Secretary
Carlisle this morning authorized the
statement that he would exercise all the
power and discretion invested in him tq
uphold the credit of the government and
maintain the parity ox gold and silver
This statement was made to brush away
rumors about what he contemplated
doing aa to maintaining the gold reserve
intact, as to issuing bonds or as to pay
ing United States treasury notes in sil
1893.
We have the largest
and
st
Lbl A M S
ver when free gold is exhausted, etc.
The example of the Denver banks in of
fering the treasury $1,000,000 in gold has
been followed by the Chicago bankers,
who today offered, $500,000. It is be
lieved that bankers of other cities will
do likewise. There is a feeling of relief
as to gold balances, unless the exports
Saturday are unusually heavy, of which
no information is yet received. The
treasury will have ample to supply the
demand.
There is no danger of a financial panic.
The new administration will not issue
any l ondg. It has been decided, that
the $100,000,000 reserve fund can be
used to meet any demands made upon
the United States treasury. This is in
direct conflict to the opinion so often ex
pressed by former secretaries of the
treasury and is rather startling. The
basis of the action is a decision of Sol-
r4etor-knear.i..ldrich 7 ... who - declares
that there is nothing in existing laws to
prevent the use of the gold reserve. . Ex-
Attorney-General Miller is understood
to have concurred in this opinion.
- Free Gold, on Band.
Washington: March 9. The treasury
today received gold at several porkts.
In New York .a gain was made of $100,-
000, while at New Orleans it received
$20,000 in exchange for a like amount oft
silver . certificates.. No intimation has
yet been received that any gold will be
exported Saturday from New York, and
at the present rate of exchange it is not
thought any will be taken out of the
country, The treasury has more than
$3,000,000 in free gold, and in the usual
conditions of trade this is likely - to be
increased rather than decreased. -It was
quite plainly intimated in the treasury
department today that, as between the
issue of bonds and the use of a portion
of the $100,000,000 gold reserve, if neces
sary to maintain the parity pf gold and
silver, Secretary Carlisle will resort to
the latter plan,' but he does net antici
pate the necessity will arise to do so. '.
' A Canadian Senaatlon.
Montreal, . March 9. A. pamphlet
entitled "Clerical Ruin," which prom
ises . to create a great sensation in the
religious world, has been made public.
It contains a terribly scathing arraign
ment of the Roman Catholic clergy of
the Dominion. The .work is from the;
pens of a number of well-known French
Canadian writers, among whom is San-,
valle, formerly of La Patrie, and Filia
trauit, of the Canada Review. One' of
the articles . is devoted to the Jesuits;
another, and very sensational one, to
Mysticism and Chastity," in which
(Jue reference is made to the late cler
ical scandals." : -
A Curious Slander.
Washington-, March 9. The board of
lady managers of the world's fair has had
Straightened out a curious blunder in
the sundry civil bill by which all the
money intended for the payment of
awards was appropriated for the 'use of
the woman's board instead of the execu
tive committee on awards. The ladies
have agreed to pay this money to the
proper authorities without regard to the
terms of the bill. The mistake was due
to an error of the engrossing clerk.-

The Panama Trial.
- Pabis, March 9. Intesest in the Pana
ma trial is increasing, -and the greatest
curiosity is shown-as to coming develop
ments. , It is reported that the frankness
with which Charles De Lesseps told his
story has caused surprise. There is
some consternation in certain- high- cir
cles, and considerable anxiety is felt in
the' same quarters as to ' the subsequent ,
testimony. The - approaches to the
Palais de Justice as well as the court-,
room were thronged this morning. The'
general opinion is that the defendants all
wore a more confident. air than on the .
previous day, and that they seemed to
feel that their unreserved acknowledge-
ment had made a favorable impression
on the. 'community," Presiding Judge
Desjardins proceeded . to 'interrogate
Marius Fontaine.; The latter stated-, he
was a member of,. the 1 ward of manage- -ment
of "the Panama' Canal" Company
when the transactions with ' Balhut oc- .. ."
curred. .Acting under the direction of
Charles de Lesseps, he visited Blondin.
He found Bai hut there, Baihut said:
"The money in question will be used in
promoting the interests of the company."
Charles de Lesseps thereupon proceeded ,
to discuss. with Blondin the question of
the 1,000,000 franks claimed by Baihnt. -The
matter . was eventually settled at
Fontaine's residence. In reply 1 to the
presiding judge, Fontaine ".continued ;
"Some of.the drafts 'payable to -bearer ..
were issued to pay for 'advertising,
others to satisfy the robbers who way
laid us like footpads."
This closed the interrogation of Fon- -taine
for the time being. ' Next followed
the great sensation of the day. Baihnt
was called. . He showed a disposition at
first to throw the blame upon Blondin,
who acted as a go-between in the nego
tiations. -' Baihut said; "I acted at the -instigation
of Blondin, to whom . I gave
7,500,000 francs. I have wished to res
tore the money I received, but I feared,
thereby to accuse myself." Up to
this moment Baihut had spoken clearly,
and with apparent self-control. .' He
broke down, and with a pitiul expres
sion of sorrow and despair exclaimed in -a
broken voice t "I acknowledge having
been led astray. I am guilty. My
words express the grief and repen- -tance
I feel. I dc not . yet under- '
stand how I could have fallen so low.
I ask the pardon of . my country,
whose good name I have perhaps sul
lied." There was a decided stir in the
court-room when Baihut began his piti
ful avowal of guilt, and this was in
creased to a sensation as he closed.
Sunday Opening fight.
Chicago, March 9. The endeavor to -secure
the opening of the world's fair
Sunday will be transferred from the
state ceurts to those of the United States. .
An attempt will be made to have the
United States supreme court issue an .
injunction against restraining the open
ing of the gates. To do this the suit
will have to be brought on behalf of the
state and Attorney Maloney has given
his consent. The grounds of complaint
will be that the corporation is an Illinois
one, and congress baa no power to make
the obnoxious restriction.
