CHICAGO, March 29.—A special to the Record from Washington says: Secretary Gresham, in conversation with a gentle- man yesterday, stated that Admiral Walk- er’s mission to the Hawaiian Islands had nothing to do with the establishment of a naval depot at Pearl harbor, but that dis- patches had been received from Mr. Willis | which it was not considered expedient to | send to Congress, indicating that an out- break might occur at Honolulu at any time, which would require the presence of a cool, shrewd and determined man to look after the interests of the United States. ° Secretary Gresham undoubtedly alluded to the consummation of a rather startling plot, which has been disclosed while Mr. | Davies, the guardian of Princess Kaiulani, has been in Washington. This plan con- | templates the restoration of the queen with the assistance of England, and a British protectorate in the Hawailan Isl- anc Mr. Davies is a thorough Englishman, has sympathies which are entirely with Great Britain, and he now goes to represent her fallen majesty at the court of St. James in this affair. The plan ts to have the queen proclaim her sovereignty and then proceed at once to the British legation, which is immediately across the street from the palace in which she now resides, and there life is in danger. Mr. Wodehouse, the British minister, will recognize her as queen and give her the protection she desires. It is undoubtedly in connection with this affair that Mr. Davies has visited Washington, and he has given due notice of the Intentions of her majesty to the President and Secretary of State. me NOT LIKE THE NOVELS. The Runaway Lovers Were Forgiven Without Hesitation. NEW YORK, March 29.—Mr. and Mrs. Courtlandt Hamm, whose marriage Octo- ber 7, 1893, was kept a profound secret un- til divulged by the bride to her mother last Tuesday, have determined now that their escapade has been forgiven, to take up their residence in this city. Mr. Hamm 1s the son of a wealthy Philadelphia leather merchant. He met Miss Teresa Atlee when both were mere children. With their ma- turing years their friendship ripened into love, but, somehow, they thought Miss At- lee’s mother, Mrs. John A. Buckley, of 443 East 116th street, was averse to their mar- riage. Nothing daunted by this opposition, whether fancied or real, the young man October 7 last, and brought with him the J. L. Kellogg of Philadelphia.

Further, he declared that of | the males in Canada between che ages of | twenty and fifty years one in every three | left the country for the United States, In | ten years 886,000 immigrants had arrived in Canada, and only 150,000 had remained.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 20.—The house committee on the judiciary today made a tavorable report on the joint resolution to extend the age limit in the case of Judge | Hoffman, republican associate judge of the fourth circuit, compri: g the counties of Washington, Allegany and Garrett. The resolution has already passed the senate | and will pass the house. A decided effort | will now be made by the friends of Judge Vinson of Montgomery county to secure favorable action on the resolution to ex- tend the age limit in his case. | Rodes se | Lamoreux of the general HIS STORY BEGUN (Continued from Second Page.) Mr. Wilson remarked that he would not walk across the street for a train load of such testimony as the expert testimony in this case. He continued to urge that the defendant hud not made such a showing of probibility that the plaintiff iad written this letter as to justify its admission in evidence. Judge Bradley asked what would be the case if no expert testimony had been of- fered, but they had only the defendant's testimcry that he had received a letter, and in response to it had had an interview. Mr. Wilson thought that made no differ- ence. The Letter Admitted. It was 3 o'clock when Judge Bradley de- cided the question. Independently of the expert testimony, he thought the testimony of the defendang sufficient to justify the ad- mission of the letter in testimony. As to the expert testimony, he believed it would be the duty of the court to admit the letter to evidence. Where the authenticity of a paper is affirmed on one side and denied on | the other it was proper for a court to ad- mit expert testimony, however valueless it might be, and to admit the paper in_evi- dence, letting the jury determine for them- selves whether the paper was genuine or not. Its Publication Condemned. Judge Bradley remarked that [t seemed to him that this was a controversy large- ly over a shadow rather than substance, for the contents of the letter had already been made public by the newspaprs, and the jurors had undoubtedly been apprised of its contents. Judge Bradley severely condemned the publication of the letter. That, he said, was enterprise with a ven- geance. In any other court than this court the matter would have been puntish- ed as a contempt of court. He warned reporters that such an act if repeated would be visited with punishment. The letter was admitted in evidence and read to the jury by Mr. Butterworth. Filed in His Private Letter Book. Mr. Breckinridge then continued his tes- timony. He said when he received the let- ter, according to his recollection, he filed it in his private letter book in the office. | He kept a similar file at his home, and he had also a partnership file at the office. | His recollection was that both letters he had received were put in his file at the of- fice. When this suit was brought he was in Washington, and he wrote to Lexington for the letters. Mr. Breckinridge said at the time he called at the Wesleyan College he had busi- ness which called him to Covington. He went there Friday, August 1, but was unable to get through business that day. As Covington had no comfortable hotel, he went across in the afternoon to Cincinnati. His Call at Wesleyan College. It was some time after a quite late din- ner he took a street car and went to the Wesleyan College. He thought it was about half-past 4 o'clock. He sent his name up, and was invited into a room, and in a few minutes the plaintiff came down. He was standing: in the window when she came. They shook hands. There was some salu- tation of the day, when she said he sup- posed she had rather astonished him by the rarity of the case. The witness then went on to describe the conversation, which, he said, immediately opened about her case. She related the circumstance: her agreement with Mr. Rodes, Witn had not known up to that time who the mother of the plaintiff was. She mentioned in her conversation her aunt, Mrs. Keene, and witness knew who Mrs. Keene was and also knew from that who her mother was. He interfered then the statement that he had known her grandfather, and liked him. He went on re- citing the story plaintiff told him down to her meeting with Mr. Rodes and agreement to marry him, if he paid the expenses of her education, She wanted to know if Mr. Rodes could compel her to fulfill that engagement. Wit- ness laughed at the idea of a girl at this day being compelled to marry any one. He put his answer in a light way, whereupon she became grave and asked if he were certain Mr. Rodes could not compel her to marry him. She became graver, seemed to be making an effort to keep from crying, and showed much nervousness. Her Proof to Rodes. Witness asked what the members of the family said and why she did not talk the matter over with her grandfather. She said that while her mother knew of the matter she could not talk with her about it. During the conversation she became much affected and put her handkerchief to her face. Witness walked away from her to the window. In a moment or two she came to the window and said there was some- thing she had not told him. He suggested to her that she had better not tell him then, but she did. She said that it was much worse than a mere contract of mar- riage. Mr. Rodes got very jealous and anxious to marry her; that some one had told him when she got educated she would not mar- ry him; they had had some trouble about it; she did not know then how it happened, but she had given him higher proof of her purpose to marry him. The witness said he had told her then that she ought to marry him; that no young girl could afford, under such circumstances, not to marry the man. She said she could not marry him; she could not look forward to living with such | aman. The witness, going on, said he was about to leave when Miss Pollard told him that she had set her heart upon being an author. Late Yesterday Afternoon. At the conclusion of the deposition of | Brand, reported in yesterday's Star, Mr. Stoll read the deposition of Fletcher Lusby, | chief of police of Lexington, Ky. The deponent stated that the reputation of Lena Singleton’s house was bad, as was her character. He stated that he had known James C. Rodes. Deponent had been in the employ of the Adams Express Company In ISN3 and ISS4, and took charge of the money | clerk's desk in 1 1 times shipped money to a young woman at Wesleyan College at Cin- cinnati, who, Rodes siated, was a niece he was educating. e Deposition of W.

She stated that she was eng: him, but, as he was an “ignorant oid far- mer,” she did not intend to marry him, but would pay him his money back.

The Senate comin‘ttee on finance today reported the pension appropriation bill. The bill was not amended as to the amount appropriated, carrying as it did when it passed the House $151,581,570,but an amend- ent suggested b: ator Brice was in- | serted providing that the act of December 21, 1898, that a pension shall be construed as a vested right, should not be construed to apply to any case where the pensioner is drawing more than one pension or that he title to the pension has ceased. un amendement was also adopted by the committee at the suggestioa of Senator Teller providing that claimants should :pon application be presented with copies of the reports of examining surgeons made in their respective cases. mpany | will | and remembered that, to! | AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT. ited Stetes Treasurer Goes Into Dis- trict Bonds History. The Speaker of the House today received a letter from the United States Treasurer, making an unfavorable report upon Mr. Cogswell’s bill, to provide for the payment of the eight per cent greenback certificates of the District of Columbia. After review- ing the history of these certificates, the re- port says: The bill in question will operate unfavor- ably to the interests of the United States for the reason that the United States has borne its full share of the cost of street improvements, and if the funding of the 8 per cent bonds is authorized the United States will become chargeable with one. half of the expenditure required to redeem the principal of the bonds issued and of the interest thereon, subjecting it to an ex- cessive proportion of expenditure on this | have been working hard for that end for | account. “It is also unjust to give the present hold- ers of the outstanding 8 per cent bonds an additional interest over the rate allowed those who have already surrendered their bonds. To comply with the provisions of this bill an issue of about $140,000 of 3.65 bonds will be required, which, after paying | the interest contemplated on the board of audit certificates and the increased sate of interest on the S per cent bonds, would only retire a principal of $19,150, and it is sub- mitted that it is not a sound principal of business or finance to provide for the in- terest upon an obligation by giving there- for another interest-bearing obligation. The report says there are now pending | in the Court of Claims four or five causes against the District of Columbia, which, if allowed, will have to be satisfied by issu- | ing 3.65 bonds. There is also the award of the arbitrators in the case of Samuel Strong vs. the District of Columbia, which will in like manner have to be satisfied by a further issue of these bonds, which will amount to at least $25,000. “It will therefore be seen,” says the re- rt, “that it is doubtful if the unissued? nds of the 3.65 loan will prove sufficient to meet the obligations created by existing law.” —_— —_ WOMEN TRUSTEES. The Local School Bill Goes Over in the Senate. Senator Martin today called 1p in the Senate the bill favorably reported by him yesterday, authorizing the Commissioners of the District to appoint three women school trustees. The bill was about to be passed when Senator Hoar asked the num- ber of the trustees now provided for. Mr. Martin could not answer, and Senator Har- ris assured Mr. Hoar that the women, if the bill should pass, would certainly be in @ very small minority. Mr. Hoar said he had no objections whatever to women as school trustees, but on the contrary, was very much in favor of such legislation. He called attention to the fact that in his state the women formed % per cent of the teaching force, and he had no doubt this ratio prevailed here also. If that were true, he added, the number of women cn the board should not be limited to three. ile therefore moved to amend the bill by strik- ing out the word “three” and leaving the number of women truste?s to the discretion of the Commissioners. The Commissioners, he added, are all men and can certainly be trusted to preserve the usual unities that seem to prevail in re- gard to the subject of male control over the | government. Mr. Faulkner said that he had certain matters in relation to the bill which he desired to look up, and he asked that it iy over without prejudice,which was grant- CRACK WHIST PLAYERS. Victories at New York and Brooklyn by the Washington Team. The champion whist team of the Capital Bicycle Club of this city returned home last evening after a most successful trip to New York, where they went to play two challenge matches with the Knickerbocker Club of New York and the Carleton Club of Brooklyn. The Knickerbocker team consisted of Messrs. Taylor, Buffington, Hatch and Donald, who had eleven successive vic- tories to their credit, in fact they have never been defeated. The team was Messrs. H. Low, J. P. Wooten, Cc. M. Barrick and Thos. P. Borden. The Knickerbockers were defeated by thirteen tricks in thirty hands, which was an over. whelming defeat. The match on Tuesday evening was against the Carleton Club, who are the champions of the city of Brooklyn. Their ; team was Messrs. Baily, Lennox, Taylor | | and Buffington. The Washington team won the match easily by five tricks in twenty-four hands, making in one hand thirteen tricks (a “slam"),out of which their opponents scored only ten tricks. Mr. R. F. Foster, the whist author,was present during the Knickerbocker match | and was much pleased at the victory of the | Washington team, who are the most promi. nent and successful advocates of his tem of play. TO BE EXAMINED. Everett S. Mitchell, a Government Clerk, Probably Insane. Everett S. Mitchell, employed as a clerk in the United States coast survey, was taken from his desk in the office this morn- ing and driven to the first precinct police station, where he is held as insane. The queer actions of Mr. Mitchell during the past few days attracted attention in the office and he frequently spoke of commit- ting suicide. It was feared by the other clerks that he might end his life, and they had him locked up for self protection. This morning friends of the unfortunate man called to see Lieut. Amiss, who sent to the office and had him conveyed to the station. There he was made comfortable in cne of the witness rooms. He will be examined by the police surgeons and if pronounced insane he will be sent to St. Elizabeth's. Mr. Mitchell came here from Revere, s. His relatives will be roti- fied of his condition. oo yER A CHILD. Mother and Little One Cling Together in Court. This morning, before Judge Hagner, the habeas corpus case of W. R.
