Guilty of Complicity im the Attempt to Kill Gen. Campos. The six anarchists, Codina, Cerezuela, Sogas, Bernat, Villarubia and Mir, sen- tenced to death after having been convicted of complicity in the attempt of Pallas to assassinate Captain General Martinez Cam- pos, and of being concerned in the Liceo Theater bomb outrage, were executed at Barcelona, Spain, yesterday. The six anarchists were placed standing in oy line, with their faces to the citadel walls, Standing at a short distance behind the condemned men was the firing party. At the first volley only four of the convicts fell lead, and a second volley was necessary in the cases of Scgas and Codina to complete their execution. There was no disorder. +oe- IMPORTANT QUESTION RAISED. Whether Communication: Press Are Privileged.

Breckinridge. Wm. C. Owens, in his initial address to the people of Scott county, at Georgetown, Ky., yesterday, was greeted by a large crowd, filling the hall to overflowing. Fully 300 women were present wearing Owens badges, and they joined in the ap- plause in a manner that demonstrated that they are bitterly opposed to sending Col. Breckinridge back to Congress. The ap- plause was almost continuous throughout the speech. The speech was full of strongly framed sentences against Col. Breckinridge. He said that sixty millions of people were awaiting the verdict the citizens of Ash- land would render in this case, and he hoped for the injured manhood and woman- hood of the state that the voters would do their whole duty and not sulk in their tents. : a An Exc jon Steamer Barn The excursion steamer New York, lying on the Camden side of the Delaware at Phila- delphia, was burned yesterday morning.

V. | White of New York city. tation Evidently Modeled That of the United States—Convention on May 30 — Roya! a Hopes. {Correspondence of the Associated Press). HONOLULU, May 15, via San Francisco, May 21, per steamer Gaelic. The corstitutional convention, the mem- bers of which were elected on May 3, will meet on May 30. The new constitution will be presented to the convention for its ap- proval. The Associated Press has been able to obtain a copy of portions of it. The new government is to be called the Republic of Hawaii. The executive power will be vested in the president. The execu- tive council will consist of five members instead of four, as at present, a minister of health and education being added. The upper house will consist of fifteen senators. Senators must be thirty years old, able to read and write English, shall have resi- derce in the island three years, own prop- erty not less than $5,000 in value, and have an income of $1,200 a year. ‘The assembly or lower house is to consist of fifteen members, six from Oahu and three each from the other islands. They will serve two years only. A member of the assembly must be a citizen of Hawaii, or of any country which has treaty rela- tions with Hawaii, and have resided in the islands for at least a year, able to read and write the English or Hawaiian lan- guage, except In case of those who voted in the recent elections. Meetings of the legis- lature are to be held every two years. Each session is limited to ninety days, and neither house can adjourn more than two days without the consent of the other. The president will have the power of veto, which can be overruled by a two-thirds vote of both houses. It 1s the present intention to have Presi- dent Dole reappointed for a term of two years, possibly six, after which the offices will be filled by regular elections. It is more than likely that the present ministers will be retained for a year, as their ap- pointment rests with the president. The new constitution can be amended or revised in the ordinary way, but it is ex- pressly stipulated that amendments con- taining a proposition for the establishment not be presented. $400 for each session. About 3,750 votes were cast at the recent elections. There was very little opposition on any of the islands. The claim is now made that when the republic is declared the natives will make the looked-for uprising. Royalist leaders say they are restrained only by the ex- pressed wish of the ex-queen, who still has great faith in the United States. The report that the Ranger was coming here has again put hopes of speedy restora- tion in the royalists’ hearts, There has been considerable talk recently of a num- ber of ardent royalists, who are said to have enlisted in the army, ready to help the ex-queen’s cause in case of a revolu- tion, That there are very few, if any, such cases 1s fully believed by the government, as troops have been considerably reduced, kept in the service. The stearrer Gaelic arrived here from Japan, with R. W. Irwin, the Hawatian minister resident at Tokio, on board. It is supposed he has brought certain messages from the Japanese government in regard to the matter of granting the franchise to subjects of the mikado in Hawaii. It is expected that in the event of a franchise refused to the Japanese their government intends to cut off treaty relations with Hawaii, and to recall all Japanese in the islands. If this is so, it will be a serious thing for the planters, as the present num- bez of contract Jaborers is largely made up of Japanese, and it would be next to im- possible to replace them in less than a year. Mr. Irwin is reticent on the subject, but it is known that he was the bearer of some dispatches to the government, and special session of the council was held y terday to discuss the matter. ——.—- BUTTZ’S TESTIFIED. the Charge of Attempted Bribery. After The Star's report of the senatorial bribery investigation closed yesterday after- noon, Maj, Buttz was called as a witness. Mr. Buttz said, when he left the committee rcom, that he had been sworn to secrecy and could not reveal a word of the pro- ceedings. Senator Gray also declined to give out anything concerning Mr. Buttz’s testimony, saying that no summary of it could be given that would not be Hable to do injustice to Mr. Buttz or the case itself. Fragmentary refererces to the proceedings leave little room for doubt that when the report of the Buttz testimony is published, it will make very racy reading. He first demanded a transcript of the report of the testimony of preceding witnesses, but com- promised by accepting a proposition that testimony of other witnesses which reflect- ed upon him in any way. He was thus confronted with the statement that Sena- tors Kyle and Hunton had identified him as the man who had attempted to corrupt them, and having in his letter to Senator Hansbrough laid the responsibility for this charge at the doors of the newspapers and relieved the Senators from ail blame, he was placed in a somewhat embarrassing position, and the brief references to his testimony obtainable, indicates that he made an effort to excuse himself and ex- plain away the entire charge. ly denied any intention, on his part, to cor- the pertinence of which the committee found it difficult to understand. It is also understood that he politely declined to answer some of the more pertinent ques- tions put to him by members of the com- mittee. Other witnesses of the afternoon session were Duncan Macfarlane, Senator Kyle's clerk, end James W. Walker, an attorney of this city, who gave Buttz a letter of introduction’ to Eppa Hunton, jr. Mr. Walker stated that when Buttz had asked for a letter to Mr. Hunton, he had stated tnat he wanted to employ him as attorney in a land case, and had reason for wanting to know that gentle- man. Mr. Macfarlane told how, after Senator Kyle had referred Buttz to him, he had talked with him and made notes upon his conversation. He confirmed Senator Kyle's statement, and said explicitly that Buttz had made’ a direct proposition to bribe the Senator to vote against the tariff bill. He also submitted his notes on his conversation with Buttz. ales er OSE SEES In Behalf of Mr. Taylor. Resolutions were adopted last night by the Equal Rights Council for the District, urging upon the Senate the confirmation of Charles H. J. Taylor of Kansas, to be re- corder of deeds. The resolutions were offer- ed by L. W. Pullies. “It affords us much pleasure,” says the resolve, “to know that gallant and grand Senator, John Martin of Kansas, is joined by Sena- tors Vest, Butler, Palmer, Vilas and many others on’ the one side, and on the other by the eminent, eloquent and fair-minded Sen- ators Chandler, Sherman, Quay, Hoar and others in protesting against the cowardly and cruel sentiment which would defeat Mr. Taylor, ostensibly on the ground that he is a non-resident, but realiy because he is a negro. We will accept the confirmation of cH ylor as hopeful news to us that the meritorious citizen shall not be defeated when no real objection, other than cole can be urged, Especially are we not sur- prised to see eminent Senators take a stand against the alieged home-rule doctrine,when there is in evidence notorious violations (sic) of the so-called ‘home rule’ plank. There are now installed in the District gen- tiemen holding high office, confirmed by both the present and preceding administra~ tions.”” ES So GSR Tilt Between Hoar and Butler. A somewhat acrimonious discussion be- tween Mr. Hear and Mr. Butler was brought on in the Senate yesterday after- }noon by Mr. Hoar's attack on the duty proposed on rice. Mr, Butler said he cared nothing about the duty on rice. He said it was a small interest in his state. and he was willing to see the duty reduced in proportion to other reductions. Mr. Chandler complimented the Senator from South Carolina on his adroitness in that the duty on rice had always been maintained at a high rate during ail the period that he had disclaimed caring any- thing about it. ‘The debate continued in a desuitory man- ner.

Law, who for several years has been employed on the staff of the offi- cial stenographers of the Senate, died last evening at the residence of his wife's | father, Mr. Espey, 327 lith street north- west. Mr. Law was taken ill about six weeks ago while at work, with the development of corsumption of the bowels, and upon the advice of his physician went at once to Albuquerque, N. M. But on his arrival there he was advised that there was little hope for his recovery, and after a brief stay he started back, ching here a week ago last evening. Since then he has sunk steadily. Mr. Law was about twenty-five years old, and was regarded as about the best phonograph amanuensis in the city. He was much beloved by all his friends and official associates, who greatly regret his early death. He leaves a wife and one child. —_— The Discharge of Government Em- ‘To the Editor.of The Evening Star: Your paper is the medium through which the heart of Washington is always made known; and I, with many others, was grat- \Afled by the editorial notice in yesterday's the reporier should read the portions of the | issue of your paper concerning the unwise and cruel discharge recently by the govern- ment of so many hundreds of people. We are all of one common country, and never has-the tender heart of brotherhood and sense of citizenship of our land been so universally stirred as during these past months of our history, and few here or elsewhere would add willingly one drop to the cup of bitterness which so many have ta drink at this time. As part and parcel of this country I protest against this action of my government. Surely, surely, at such a time as this it is the place of the govern- ment to walk carefully, and not add un- necessarily and unwisely to the despair and wildness already abroad in our country anc in our midst. AMERICAN, od Western Methods Won't Do Here. Maj. Turner, a colored cattle driver from the west, was in O street alley last night calling on some of the colored residents, and while there he got into a dispute. He then attempted to settle the difficulty as it is done in the west, by drawing a pistol and cleaning out the house. But he found that the Washington colored people were not so easily frightened, and instead of running from him, they remained there and had Policeman Martin Brown arrest him, Turner is now serving six months. Lewis Banks, colored, admitted to Judge Miller that he had a razor. “I found it,” he said, “and then threw it away.” Why did you throw it away?” «Cause 'twasn’t no good. “Then you should never have picked it up,” said the judge. “Sixty days.” gre Marriage Licenaea, Licenses to wed have been issued by the clerk of the court to the following: Pitchie Smith and Laura Rich; Walter Tate and Florence Welcome; Lewis W.

They Go to the Jail in the Van—Not a New Experience for Browne. “Gen.” Jacob S. Coxey, Marshal Carl Browne and Christopher Columbus Jones, the three men who thought to show Con- gress its duty on the Ist of May, had their frst view of the inside of a Washington jail yesterday afternoon. By half-past 2 o'clock they were firmly ensconced behind iron bars and their term of confinement was begun. For Coxey himself it was his first expe=i- ence of the sort, and, all talk of martyrdom on the part of the commonwealers to the contrary, it was evident he did not like it a little bit. Marshal Browne’s case was quite different, however, and upon his ar- rival at the jail he cast his eyes about him as though he were comparing it to other buildings of the same nature in which he has been domiciled in times past. The big structure by the Eastern branch, over which Capt. Leonard presides, seemed to meet with his approval, and he took his incar- ceration in a most philosophical way. To Star reporter, who drove out to the jail with the Coxeyites, Browne said that his terms of sentence in the past had usually been longer than twenty days. “Yes,” he said, “I have been behind the bars before, but never for any real offense. It has always been for this same crime of indulging in free speech.” The three men were taken out to the Dis- trict jail in the “black Maria,” in which Van Driver Anderson has carried so many more or less famous people between the jail and the court houses. Before leaving the Police Court, each man was handcuffed, and they were then given the front seats in the van. e other passengers made up a motley ci d of about a dozen, of both sexes, both colors and of various conditions of servitude in the it. They were all consigned to the work house as “vags” or “disorderlies,” the three Coxeyites being the only ones who were dignified with jail sen- tences. They were treated with consider- able deference by the other prisoners, who looked up to them as worthy of much con- sideration owing to the amount of news- paper space which their trial had consumed. Browne Notifies the Army. While at the Police Court Browne wrote out one of his characteristic orders to the men in camp under his command. In this he officially apprised them of the fact that their leaders had been sentenced to jail and urged them to keep up their courege and bang together, as he would continue to di- rect and guide them just the same from the scene of his enforced retirement. The order was carried out to the camp by “Oklahoma Sam,” who will officiate as mounted courser for the leaders. That picturesque figure, who, by the way, has shattered many an ideal of what the genuine cowboy should be, rode with the van part way to the jail, in order that he might learn his way to “headquarters.”” Arrived at the jail the men were received courteously by the warden and his officials, and they were made to feel very much at home. In answer to questions they said that they had no “guns” or other danger- ous weapons, and when they were told that if they had any money with them it would be more secure in the jail safe than it weuld in the company that they would bé compelled to keep for the next three weeks, Mr. Coxey shelled out a goodly roll of bills. | Browne unearthed a few silver coins, but (all that Christopher Columbus find was a couple of copper cen’ Me Too Jones. | All this time C. C. Jones was standing ; 8round doing the “me too” act to perfec- tion, and looking like anything but the typical leader of men. His silk hat was just a shade more rusty than when he reached Washington, and his linen just that much more untidy. He didn't bother himself very much about what was going on, and acted on the principle that if it was good enough for Coxey and Browne it was good enough for him. He had a lit- ue hand satchel with him, and when this was searched its principal contents were found to be a pair of overshoes and a port- able blacking box and brush. All three men were stowed away in cells in the south wing of the jail, the end usually set apart for cases from the Criminal Court, the Police Court wing being full. On the second tier cell 67, a big double cell, had just been vacated, and Coxey and Browne were put in this together, and for three weeks they can discuss the salvation of the country to their hearts’ content. C. Columbus Jones, the silent, was given a cell in the lower tier. Shortly after the doors were locked on the three men, dinner was around, and each was given a tin dish containing a generous helping of meat, a baked potato and a great slab of corn bread. It was very much better than commonweal army fare, though hardly up to the style of Mving that Coxey and Browne enjoyed at the hotels at which they pped on their famous march from Mas- silion to Washington. Probably Change His Mind. Browne has expressed his intention of not paying the $5 fine imposed on him for walking on the grass, and says that he will serve out the extra ten days in default of payment. The chances are, however, that after he has been in jail for a few days he will changg Iris mind and be willing to breathe once more the air of freedom. — ee Epworth Leaguers at Hamline Charch The third anniversary of the Epworth League of Hamline M. E. Church was held Sunday evening in the auditorium of the church, which was tastefully decorated with palms and roses and strips of white bunting containing the motto of the league in red letters. -The program consisted of a solo, “Consid- er the Lilies,” by Miss Holden; an ad- dress by the pastor, Rev. E. 8. Todd, D.D. on “Channels for Work,” in which he em- phasized the importance of developing the social power of the league for Christ; a talk by Mr. G. W. F. Swartzell on “The Gen- eral History of the Epworth League,” in which he spoke of the different organiza- tions in the Methodist Church, beginning with the Lyceum and Oxford League, out of which grew the one great organization of the present day with its 12,000 members. The church quartet sang “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” after which followed an able ad- dress by Mr. G. C. Hough, president, on “Our Own Leagui Miss Perry spoke of the work done by the department of mercy and help and Mr. Watson told what had been accom- plished by the department of spiritual work. The exercises were closed with a conse- cration service. ——.>__ St. Augustine’s Church. There was a beautiful scene in St. Augus- tine’s Church Sunday evening, when a solemn reception of new members into the Sodality of the Virgin Mary took place. ‘The number received into the already flour- ishing sodality was ninety. This sodality was organized by the Rev. Paul Griffith and the Rev. Geo, A. Dougherty when they assumed charge of St. Augustine's Church. The present officers of the sodality are Mr. Romulet Smothers, prefect for the men; Mrs. Frances Frelinghuyren, prefect for the ladies; Mrs. Annie Duvall, secretary, and Rev. Frank H. Bischoff, ritual director. Rev. Joseph Foley of St. Paul’s Church preached an eloquent and interesting ser- mon. Jones couid ts, Senator Hill was in his seat in the Senate yesterday for the first time for two weeks. He stated, in reply to a question, that he had been at Albany during the greater part of his absence from Washington. When in- formed of the report which had been cur- rent about the Capitol last week that he was preparing a new tariff bill as a sub- stitute for the pending bill, he simply re- plied: “Havent they enough tariff bills tow? The criticism seemed to be general that there are too many.” He said he might deliver another tariff speech later In the debate. —————+2+___. An Indian Commission.

Wells returned on Friday night to this city after an absence of some two months. He spent most of his time at the Hawalian Islands, where he went in ccmpany with Mr. John W. Thompson, join- ing on the way Mr. Crosby 8S. Noyes and Mr, S. H. Kauffmann and party. Gov. Weils is the only one that turned his face homeward when the visit to the Hawaiian Islands was completed. He has been very much bene- Mted by this trip and says that he is im Splendid health. He speaks in an enthu- siastic way of his reception at Honolulu and Says that Mr. Noyes and Mr. Kauffmann were the its of special attention, as the Hawatians look upon The Star as iiav- ing done important and valuable service for them. The people there, the ex-governor says, wanted to do a great deal more, but the shortness of the visit prevented. This was Gov. Wells’ second visit to the Hawalian Isiands, and his large acquaint- ace, composed of those whom he knew in former years and those whom he recent- ly met, gave him an me gegen dl of ascer- taining the feelings and the sentiment of par iggy x1 ef as to become familiar w facts of the present situation. In talking to a Star reporter this morning Gov. Wells said that to a stranger the idea that there was any general disorder existing in Hawali would never occur. He said that the business, the government and the management of affairs generally are almost exclusively in the hands of Americans,English and is done as exclusively by Japanese and Portuguese. say, he thought. that the prosperity of the islands is the result of Chinese labor, As an evidence of this he cited the fact that fifteen years ago Hawaii produced no rice and scarcely —_ vegetables or fruits s. except tropical The Chinamen, he says, have converted the swamps into productive rice fields, pay- ing large revenues. The markets are al- most exclusively in the hands of the Chinese, and every day in the year green American interest is secure naval station at Pearl Harbor. He that there was no place in the Pacitic com- parable with Pearl Harbor as the place for such a station, and this fact was recog- nized by all the foreign nations. Engiend, he says, through the Canadian Pacific and its great lines of ocean steam- rae ed tying Asia, Europe and America to- getter. The finest steamers in the world are those named for the three princesses, and start- ing from Vancouver they make the trip thence to China and Japan four days quick- er than any other line. Three other steam- ers connect Australia and British Columbia. | He said that the great powers of the world would be glad to exchange places with the United States and raise their flag in Ha- wali, and in consideration therefor estab- lish a great naval depot, lay a submarine cable and establish a protectorate over the island. This they cannot do unless the United States will give her consent, which has always been and will always be, he said, stoucly refused. Importance of Pearl Harbor. In regard to the condition of affairs in Honolulu Gov. Wells said that it is as peaceful as im any city or village in the United States. All the trouble that is ap- parent arises from the feeling of unrest owing to the unsettled policy of this govern- ment toward the Island. He said that the hoisting of the American flag on Pearl harbor would give mgre joy than any other event that could hapJen. The election just held was to choose delagates to the con- stitutional convention. It passed off quictly. The friends of the queen refused to vote. Gov. Wells said that it seems impossible that Mrs. Dominus, the ex-queen, could stand long in opposition or could defeat what the interests of the two countries and the world at large seemed to require. For her individual support she needs a little , and the provisional government wiil hardly refuse a reasonable demand of that kind, and the United States, when the pro- tectorate is established, will no doubt give the ex-queen a proper pecuniary recogni- tion. EB and believes, observes Gov. Admiral Walker and Min- ly hopes ells, that ister Willis have made or will make sep- arate reports establishing the fact of the adaptability of the location at Pearl harbor of a naval station and the desirability of the work being done. The enunciation of such @ policy would bring to the country @ feeling of security. —— HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.
