THE VOICE OF HAWAII Tt is Claimed to Be in Favor of An- neration. CHOICE OF MR. CARLISLE'S SUCCESSOR. O'Donnell’s Part in the Battle of the Barges. FEARFUL FALL OF A TRAIN. MORE PETITIONS FROM HAWAII. C. M, Cooke, a Honolulu Li ber Merchant, on His Way Here. Guaxp Istaxp, Nes., Feb. 14.—The overland flyer, which left San Francisco Friday at 5p. m.,and which was enpposed to have Paul X. Neumann, Queen Liliuokalani’s _plenipo- tentiary, on board, was five hours iate when it pulled into North Platte yesterday. The plenipotentiary was not on board. He had been detained by old friends in San Fran- cisco and he and the Hawaiian prince who ac- companies him will come Inter. Charles M. Cooke, however, wh plementary annexationist comm the islanda, was on the train. Mr. Cooke brings the supplementary dispatches sent to the com-| missioners after Minister Stevens and Capt. Wiltee of the Boston hoisted the American flag on the Alaoni Palace. He also brings a pile of documents and petitions favoring annexation. | Mr. Cooke is a lumber merchant in Honolulu, and claims that he and his associates are ac- tuated by no other motive than a desire to se- cure a good and stable government. “I particularly want to repudiate the that some American papers are clinging to, | that it is a Claus Spreckela scheme,” said Mr. | Cooke, “While the government was pending to bring the qucen toa sense of her duty t the taxpayers the latter ctrove in vain| to get oue word of encouragement from the | Hawaiian Commercial Company's agents in Honoluin, The men who control the com- pany’s biggest plantations there refused to utiera word. Their excuse was that Mr. Spreckels had not been heard from and they did not know whatdiis wishes were.” Among the reasons for desiring annexa\ Mr. Cooke mentions relief from exorbitant tax- ation as one of the ehtef ones. It costs nearly | $100,000 a year to maintain royalty and there are but 50,000 taxpayers on the islands. Sax Fuaxcisco, Feb, 14.—Nis not thought probable that any further news from the | Hawaiian Islands will bo received here be- | fore Wednesday next. The Occidental and Oriental steamer Belgie was scheduled as due here today from Hong Kong and Yokohama, but she stopped en route at Hono- lulu, which will probably delay her two or three days.

Release of Sa!lor Jacobson, Who Murdered His Chief Mate. Partapenrara, Feb. 14.—Having escaped the hangman’s noose through the intervention of President Hayes, Isa Jacobson, a Finnish sailor, was today discharged from the Eastern penitentiary after having served eighteen years less the usual time allowance for good be- havior.

There would seem to be trouble in store for the health office of the city as a result of the White House fumigation after the recent illness of little Martha Harrison with scarlet fever. Mr. Russell Harrison says that a number of ‘icles were needlessly destroved or removed, including many of Mrs. Russell Harrison's per- sonal effects. Yesterday Mr. Russell Harrison called at the health office to ascertain what had been done with the personal effects of Mrs. Harrison and his daughter, and was told that they had all been destroyed. A number of articles were unaccounted for and Mr. Harrison has made a demand for the missing goods, and the health officer has insti- tuted a search: THIEVES ENTER A CHURCH. They Thoroughly Ransack tho First Presby- terian Church Building. Thieves entered the First Presbyterian Church, 43¢ street, late Sunday night and after making @ thorough search of th: building and ransacking the desks and closets in the church offices, they went off without taking anything. It wasevident that they were after money, butas funds are never allowed toremain in the church building the visit proved to be @ fruitless one. An entrance was obtained by forcing a window in the church office on the south side of the church. They opened the closets in that room and broke the lock on the wooden chest where some of the records are kept. Then they went upstairs to the study of Rev. Mr. Holmes and pulled out al! the drawers of the desk, removed most of his books from the shelves and left the room in the greatest conin- ion. A visit was also made to the organ loit, as the locks on tho doors were found tobe broken. Down stairs they ransacked the office of the superintendent of the Sunday school and visited the gymnasium, the read- ing room and, in fact, left ‘no spot un- searched. it was evident that they rested from their Iabore before the fire in the church oftie’, as ends of cigars and cigar ashes were found scattered on the hearth. ae geo ‘The Ivy City Meeting.

Parker to be District Commissioner to succeed Mr. Douglass, whose term has expired. A TALK WITH THR NEW CoMAISSIONER, The first news of Mr. Parker's nomination | was taken to him bya Stax reporter this afternoon. Mr. Parker was rested at his desk in his F street office alittle before 3 o'clock when Tue Stan man entered. “Good afternoon, Mr. Commissioner.” What's that?” said Mr. Parker. “Why, you've jast been appointed Commis- sioner by President Harrison.” Mr. Parker said that this was the first he had heard of the nomination and he was glad that the news had come to him thsough ‘Tur Stan. “Yes, I shall accept the office, bat I want to say right here that i'm not going down to the Commissioner's office for the sake of the salary that is in it, I am going down to see what Tecan do for the gen- eral ‘welfare of the city. I presume I shall enter upon my new duties ax goon as the nomi- nation is confirmed and I have had the oppor- | tunity to settle up a few of my business ffairs. I feel extremely flattered by the honor f the appointment end I shall do the best that ower to make a good District Com- COMMISSIONER Ross. joner Ross when informed of the ngmination of Mr. Parker said that he had al- wayshad a very high regard for Mr. Parker personally; that he was one of the most ener- getic and progressive of the citizens of Wasb- ington and had always beeu found equal to any emergency. CITIZENS GENERALLY SATISFIED. The news of the nomination rapidiy spread through the city. There was a very general expression on the part of everybody that the matter was now settled and the President choice had never fallen upon such an excellent man. It is impossible to state all the kind things that were said of Mr. Parker, but in gen- eral it may be said that the nomination meets with general approval. George W. Cochran said: “Mr. Parker is well versed in District affairs, he ius a good head and he has the capacity to make a good Com- missioner. A SKETCH OF MR. PARKER'S CAREER. Mr. Parker was born in Fuirfax county, Vt., in 1843. He is a descendant from revolu- tionarystock. At the outbreak of the war, while preparing for college, he left his studies and enlisted in the first Vermont cavalry, with which command he served until the close of the war. Hin regiment formed a part of the brigade which wax commanded by Gen. Caster, | and took part in several important engagements. At the ciose of the war he received an appoint- ment in the War Department, where he served several years, holding positions of trust and re- sponsibility. In 1876 he graduated from the law department of the Columbian University and has ever since taken a lively interest in that institution, donating annually to the post graduate course the “Myron M. Parker” prize. APPOINTED ASSISTANT POSTMASTER, In 1879 he was appointed the assistant post- master of this city. He was secretary of the Washington committee on the ceremonies in- cident to the laying of the corner stone of the Yorktown monument. He was grand master of Masons in 18#4 and ’85,and officiated as such at the dedication of the Washington monument. He was chairman of the trieunial committee to receive and entertain the Grand Encampment Knights Templar of the United States at its twenty-fourth conclave, held _ in this city in 1889. He was a member of the exerutive committee having in charge the inauguration of President Gar- field, and was vice chairman of the inaugural committee for President Harrison, He was also chairman of the committee ‘on civic organizations and was marshal of the fifth division in the inaugural parade. He is a member of the present citi- zens’ inangural committee. and bas been ap- inted special aid ou the staff of Gen. McMahon, the chief marshal. Mr. Parker 1s a repubiican in politics, and during the second campaign of President Harrison was ap- pointed on the -advicory committee of the rational committee. He has always been interested in the advancement of Washington and has taken a leading part in all public enterprises, contributing largely of his time and means. He was one of the promoters of the constitutional conven- tion in 1889, the world's Columia ex- position in 1892, and was one of the three selected to present the claims of Washington before the committee of Congress. He is secretary of the Washington Memorial Association, the presi- dent of which is Chief Justice Fuller, and the objects of which are to preserve historical Houses in Washington. BELIEVES IN WASHINGTON’S FUTURE. Mr. Parker is an enthusiastic believer in the future greatness of Washington and has been closely identified with its growth.

The American delegates to the international monetary conference met at Senator Allison's | residence yesterday afternoon and completed the preparation of their report to President Harrison. ‘There were present Senators Allison and Jones, Mr. H. W. Cannon of New York, Prof. E. Brown Andrews of Brown University Representative J. B. McCreary of Kentucks, E ©. Leech, director of the mint, and Prof. Ro- Innd Faulkner of the University of Pennsylva- nia, recretary. ‘The report is quite lengthy, giving # detailed account of the proceedings of the conferences and shows a feeling more favorable to +ilver at the time of adjournment than was manifested | when the conference first assembled. One of the delegates said that if there had | not been a decided change of feeling on the | | part of the foreign members of the conference | the adjournment in Jannary would have been sine die instead of until May 30. The United States delegates hope for substantial results | from the adjourned meeting in Paris, believing. | as they do, that the foreign delegaies to the | conference will come to that meeting with spe- | cific instractions which will authorize them. to reach some conclusion upon the subject. In-| stractions of this character were lacking at the | conference at Brassele, Great Britain holds the key of the situation, and the change of opinion expreseed by the delegates from that country, with the exception of Mr. Bertrand Currie, gives the United States delegates a substantial basis for the hope that at the meeting in Paris the attitude of Great Britain will not be unfriendly to silver. The delegates from the United States will vlace their resignations at the disposal of Presi- dent-elect Cleveland, but whether or not au change in the personnel of the delegation will be made cannot be stated. —— 2 - THE WASHINGTON NAVY YARD, What Kepresentative Herbert Says About It in His Report.

There was some de- lay in procuring the necessary tools to establish this great gun plant at Washington, yet it | has been able to furnish guns, ashas been stated, | as rapidly as there was need for them, and the establishment is now in superb condition. An | expert of the British army. Lieut. Col. Hope, has said that it was unequaled in the world. “We have already completed more than 240 modern high-power guns. The gan plant at | the Washington yard is adapted to manufacture | guns even of sixteen-inch caliber, though we | have heretofore made none greater than thir- teen inch.” THE INAUGURATION, } Over Three Thousand Civilians From Mary- Jand to Be In the Parade—Notes.
