New York, June 15.—So great are the chances for an overwhelmingly harbor of Pearl river in the Island jlarger amount of money the British | democratic victory in Obio this year, share acquired by the United States and its citizens in the industries and trade of said islands and the express- ed desire of the republic of Hawaii that those islands should be incor- porated into the United States as ga integral part thereof and under ite sovereignty, have determined to secomplish by treaty an object so important to their mutual ard per- "manent welfare. To this end the high contracting parties have con- ferred full power and authority apon their respectively appointed plenipotentiaries, to wit: The presi- dent of the United States—John Sherman, Secretary of State of the United States. The President of the Republic of Hawaii—Francis Marsh Hatch, Lorrin A. Thurston sod William A. McKiley. Art. 1. The republic of Hawaii hereby cedes absolutely and without “reserve to the United States of America ell rights of sovereignty of whatsoever kind in and over the Hawaiian Islands and their depend- encies, and it is agreed that all the territory of and appertaining to the republic of Hawaii is hereby annex ed to the United States of America under the name of the territory of Hawaii. Art. 2. The republic of Hawaii tlso cedes and hereby transfers to the United States the absolute fea and ownership of all public, govern- ment or Crown lands, public build- inga or edifices, ports, harbore, mil- | itary equipments and all other public property of every kind and descrip | tion belonging to the Hawaiian | Tblands, together with every right and appurtenances thereunto apper- taining. The existing laws of the United States relative to public lands shall not apply to such lands inthe Hawaiian Islands; but the - congress of the United States shall enact special laws for their man- | agement and disposition, provided, that all revenue from or proceeds of B thesame, except as regards such | part thereof as may be used or oc- cupied for the civil, military or naval Purposes ot the United States or may be asisgned for the use of the Teeal government, shall be used sole- Ty for the benefit of the inhabitants Of the Hawaiian Islands for educa- tional and other public purposes. _ Art. 3. Until congress shall pro- ide the government of such islands ‘all the civil, judicial and military powers exercised by the officers of such islands shall be vested in such on or persons and shall be exer- cised in such manner as the presi- dent of the United States shall di- “rect, and the president shall have Power to remove said officers and the vacancies so occasioned. The isting treaties of the Hawaiian Islands with foreign nations shall forthwith cease and determine, be- ing replaced by such treaties as may exist, or as may be hereafter con- luded between the United States ‘and such foreign nations. The mu- Ricipal legislation of the Hawaiian | Islands, not enacted for the fultill- © ment of the treaties so extinguished aad not inconsistent with this treaty or contrary to the constitution of e United States, nor to any exist- treaty of the United States, 000,000.

There shall be no further immigration of Chinese into the H:- waiian Islands except such as now or may afterwards ba allowed by the laws of the United State, ard uo Chinese by reason of anyibiag here- ja contained shall be allowed to enter the United States from the Hawaiian Islands. Art.6.

Ebin was | shot by his father, Riley Ebia, and his brother, Palko Ebio. | Three weeks ago Chokat Ebin, | during « quarrel with Lama An- thony, shot him dead. He was im- mediately arrested and given a trial, convicted and sentenced to be shot the 4th of June. When the day of execution arrived Ebin, who was at} his home. sent word to the Governor | that he was sick and not able to at- tend his execution and the Governor | respited him till to day, the 14th. This morning at 11 o'clock Ebin was shot according to the laws of the Greek Indians. It is alaw among them that whenever a member of their triba is charged with the mur- der of another, that an immediate trial shail: bs held, which was done in Ebin’s cas, he having been tried the next day after the murder oc- curred.

In this case Ebin chose his father and brother to shoet him. ; as is proposed by the republicans, ! says James Creelman in the Journal, that twenty-eicht candidates for governor are now in the field. The real struggle has narrowed down to five men: Horace L. Chapman of Jackson, John Welty of Hillebero, R. T. Hough of Canton, Allen W. Smatley of Upper Sandusky, and Allen W. Thurman of Columbus.

So far John R. McLean has swept the tield. There is some opposition tohim among the populists, and some amorg the gold democrats, but unless something unforseen hap- pers Mr. McLean will succeed Mark Hanna if a democratic legislature is elected this year. It is said that every candidate for the governor- ship is in favor of McLean. The chairman of the state conven- tion will be Ulrich Sloan, who pre- sented Mr. McLean's name to the Chicago convention. The wave of Bryanism that is sweeping through Obie just now is astonishing. Mr. Bryan is absolutely idolized, and the power and prestige of his name grow as the story of the industrial and agricultural misery spreads. There is another fact in connec- tion with those shipments of cattle abroad, and which is that they all | went to Great Buiitiap, the protec-j} tive tariff countries of Europe having | discriminated to such an extent against the United States that they no longer import our cattle and take but aemall proportion of the ex- port of hog products. For the week ended June 5, of the 25,613 boxes of meat exported, 22,412 boxes were sent to English ports, while but 283 went to Germany, 350 to Holland and none to France. The exports of corn continue large, those for last week having been 2,398,294 bushels, or more than 700,000 bushels larger than the corresponding week last year, and 1,700,000 larger than the same week ESTATES ANS in 1895.

The predominance of American interests in that neighbor- ing territory was first asserted in 1820 by sending to the island a rep resentative agent of the United States. It found further expression by the signature of treaty of com- merce and navigation with the King in 1826—the first international com- : pact negotiated by Hawaii. it was signally announced in 1843, \when the intervention of the United States caused the British Government to disavow the seizure of the Sandwich Islands by a British naval command. er, and to recognize them by treaty, as an independent State, renouncing forever any purpose of annexing the islands, or exertiog a protectorate over them.
