Annexation the Goal — Confidence Meanwhile im Their Own Government. From the Pacific Commercial Advertiser. With the report of the contemplated se- cession of one of our islands from the cen- tral government, following close upon the introduction of an annexation resolution and a cable bill in the United States Con- gress, it Is not unlikely that the curiosity of the American people will be aroused to know if the peace and quiet which has been reported as reigning supreme in this country Is simply a canard, framed to de- ceive them as to the exact status of our Political affairs. If it were not for the fact that this is a time when misrepresentations may do a vast amount of damage, this yarn would seem thoroughly amusing. Nothing could be further from the truth than this apparent harbinger of dissension. The republic of Hawaii has entered upon a year which bids fair to be characterized by financial prosperity and political tran- quillity. The recent measures brought before Con- gress, those of direct Interest to the islands, and the action of President Cleveland, which gives promise of a broader inter- pretation of the Monroe doctrine, all tend to center the interest of Hawailans toward Washington. Although prompt action on the annexation measure {s the fond hope of this nation, the people are too well awere of the possible barriers that may arise through the clashing of political par- ties to be too sanguine of the success of the first move made by Congressman Spaulding. If # is found, however, that the American people are not prepared to accept the advances of the republic at the b bape time, there will be no cessation in he efforts on this side of the water to con- summate a treaty for the political union of the two nations. American interests pre- dominate, and will so continue. During the coming session of the legislature another opportunity will be given to prove the de- sire to advance the interests of the Anglo- Saxon by bringing him to the country to develop varied agricultural industrics. ‘This opportunity will not be allowed to pass without a showing ef tangible results. The flurry resulting from an apparent difference of opinion between our diplo- matic corps and the people of the country, while by no means at an end, will undoubt- edly be settled to the satisfaction of all in- terested parties. Whether it is with diplo- mats or affairs of a purely local nature with which the government has to deal, it may be put down as a foregone conclusion that the dignity of the Hawaiian republic will be maintained at all costs. —-— -cee. Quaker City Dames and Daughters. From the Philadelphia Record. It is a well-known fact that there is no love lost between Philadelphia members of the Colonial Dames of America and the Daughters of the Revolution. The latter decry the exclusive principles of the Dames, and the Dames are inclined to look down upon the Daughters. A story has leaked 01.: to the effect that several members of the Colonial Dames have unearthed a number of people eligivle for admission to the rival organization and are scheming to have them proposed for membership. One of these is the woman who keeps an apple stand in front of the old Girard Bank building, on 3d street. She can prove her ancestry. Another is «in eminently respectable woman who makes shirts at the uniform price of forty-nine cents per dozen, delivered. Still another ig the daughter of a man whose employer hires teams to the present members of the organization, and one other “eligible” is a trusted employe of a liquor house. 5—Brown DUNRAVEN RESIGNS Gives Up His Honorary Meinbership in the New York Yeoht Olub. SATISFIED WITH THE INVESTIGATION Showalter and Kemeny Draw Their Second Game. ———+}>. GENERAL SPORTING NOTES NEW YORK, February 27.—Lord Dun- raven’s letter to Secretary Oddie of the New York Yacht Club, resigning his honorary membership in that organization, is made public today. The letter, which is dated February 19, says that this course is taken in view of the motion made by Captain Led- yard, at a recent meeting of the club, that Lord Dunraven be expelled because of the allegations he had made against members of the club, but which he had not substan- tiated. In another letter, dated February 12, and addressed to Mr. E. J. Phelps, which is pub- lished in connection with the lettor to Mr. Oddie, Lord Dunraven explained that he was satisfied with the conclusions of the committee which had investigated his charges about the management of the De- fender, and that he had also written a per- sonal letter te Mr. Iselin, disavowing apy intention to reflect upon him in any way. CHESS GAME A DRAW. An Interesting Contest Between Sho- walter and Kemeny. The second game for the chess cham- pionship was played yesterday at the Union *League, in Philadeiphia, between Showalter and Kemeny. Showalter select- ed the Petroff defense. His opponent, however, turned the game into a four knights, and a very lively struggle en- sued. The attack was very forcibly car- ried on, and Showalter on his seventeenth move lost the exchange; the position then was decidedly against him. Kemeny on his twenty-eighth move cap- tured a pawn with the rook (ne should have at that stage played QxP); this en- abled his opponent to relieve his game by the ingenious move P-QB4; then followed che exchange of queens, aud the end game resulted in a draw, which was forced by Showalter with perpetual check. Kemeny Was the exchange ahead, but his doubled QB pawns were rather weak. Cc. 4. C. TEN PINS. Another Series of Games Rolled Last Nght.

The running meeting, which will be opened at Benning April 18, will be a suc- cess, it is thought, notwithstanding the as- sociation is under an expense of nearly $3,000 a day. Mr. Crickmore said last night that the price of admission to the grounds would be $1, women and men alike. He also said that the stand, club house and outbuildings were near completion. The outlook is bright, when all things are con- sidered, as Washingtonians have entered into the sport with a spirit. Not only is there a stag club being formed, but Washington society women have also formed a kind of association, and they will have a stand at Benning all to themselves, at the upper end of the major stand, and entirely away from the ciub house. This is the tirst time in the history of the turf that a woman's club has been formed for the purpose of attending the races. Pennsy to Play Georgetown. Twenty-five games have been arranged for the University of Pennsylvania base ball team, with three dates yet to be filled. The season opens on April 4 with Hobart College in Philadelphia, and closes on June 23, when the boys in red and blue will tackle the Harvard ball tossers at Cam- bridge. The Pennsylvanians piay George- town College in this city April 23, and in Philadelphia May 2. Donnelly Signs With Baltimore. “Jimmy” Donnelly has signed to play with the Baltimore club this year. He will report for duty on March 14. Donnelly for- merly played with the Washington and De- troit National League clubs, but has been captain of the Springfield team of the East- ern League for the past two years. He will be Baltimore’s substitute third baseman and may be played regularly by the Toronto club of the Eastern League, which is said to be controle’ by the Baltimore manage- men’ Where the Teams Will Go. The St. Louis club will leave next week for Dallas, Texas, where the men will begin the season's training. The New York team will start for Jackson- ville Tuesday by the steamer Comanche, ar- riving in Jacksonville at daybreak Friday morning, March 5. The Pittsburg team will spend a portion of the preparatory season at Hot Springs. The players ths year will be Hastings, Goar, Menefee, Foreman, Killen and Hawley, pitchers; Sugden, Mack and Merritt, caicn- ers; Bierbauer, Beckley, Ely and Lyons, in- field; Stenzel, Smith and Donovan, outiieid. Clingman will go along as an extra man. A New Shooting Record. Rolla O. Heikes of Dayton, Ohio, cham- pion target shot of the world, made an- other sensational record at the Limited Gun Club's grounds at Indianapclis yester- day. He broke 100 targets, continuously shooting, in four minutes and twenty sec- onds, which makes a new world’s record. His best previous time was five minutes and thirty-five seconds, made last week at Louisville. Yesterday 120 targets were sprung, while at Louisville but 111 were sprung. To Skate for the Championship. ‘The race to determine the championship of the District of Columbia and Maryland will come off this evening at the skating rink, and a close and exciting contest may be looked for. Entries have not been limit- ed to the residents of this city, but Balti- more skaters of speed are expected to com- pete. No one will be barred from entering, provided his amateur standing is all nght, and it is thought that there will be about fifteen contestants in the race. The dis- tance will be for two miles and a half, over the measured course, which equals twenty- five circuits of the rink. The list of entries will not be closed until just a short time be- fore the race, but, so far, Bagg, Bisneau and ligenfritz of Baltimore, Saunders, Lof- tus, Sutes, Libbey, Conroy, Bayley, Chaney and several others have entered. All the contestants will be started from the scratch. The race will probably be between Saunders, Stites, Bagg and Bisneau, and these four men are expected to be very clesely bunched at the finish. Order of Handicaps Changed. By request of some of the owners enter- ing horses for the Washington handicap, the committee of the Washington Jockey Club have changed the order and dates of running the three hanéloaps, as follows: First day, Saturday, April 16—Blue and Gray handicap, 3-4 mile. Boventh day, Gaturday, April 25—Army and Navy handicap, 1 mil Thirteenth day, ‘Gsturday, May 2—Wash- ington handicap—1 1-16 miles. John Ward to Be a Colonel. A special to the Philadelphia Times from Louteville yesterday says: John M. Ward Is said to have been signed as captain and shortstop of the Louisville club. The report ceénnot be verified. The Commercial, of which Mr. Pulliam is city editor, prints the story this morning. The directors refuse to confirm or deny the report. It is known, however, that the Louisville president made Mr. Ward overtures, and it is belleved se- cured Ward's promise to sign if New York would release him. It is believed that if the report is true Ward may be manager of the team. The directors are sald to have em- powered Dr. Stuckey to offer the highest salary. The Post this afternoon prints a story confirming the Commercial, but does not give the authority. Live Sporting Notes. “Billy” Smith, the Boston welter-weight pugilist, is reported’dangerously ill in Lon- don. The folks at Gravesend are inclined to think Handspring will clean up the three- year-old events in the east.

Pickett defeated Tuttle last week. “Bob” Stevenson has left the Harvard crew and 1s a candidate for the base ball team. es + Solly Smith is anxious to meet Geo. Dixon, and says he can get 35,00 backing. Horace Leeds and “Jack” Everhardt have signed articles of agreement to fight. Denver Smith has cabled Jondon accept- ing the Sporting Club's offer for a fight with Slavin, F.tzsimmons or Corbett. A City of Mexicé dispatch says: no talk of investigating the prize fight. press {s absolutely silent in the matter. Judge Badger of the court of common pleas of Ohio has decided that receiving money in Ohio to be sent to a pool room in Kentucky to pay racing bets is a violation of the laws of Ohio. The pool room proprietors in Covington, Ky., have been fined $i) and costs on each case against them and the cases of the em- ployes held on the abatement. This closes all the pool rooms in that vicinity. “Texas Tom” Walsh, charged with violat- ing the anti-pool law, was found guilty by a jury at St. Louis Tuesday. His punishment was placed at six months’ imprisonment in the workhouse and a fine of $110). An Ice yacht race for the world’s cham- plonship wili be held on the Hudson river, at Poughkeepsie, today.

Attorney General Harmon has given ar opinion on the question referred to him by Postmaster General Wilson in regard to the right of various lottery bond concerns to use the mails. The companies concerned were the Pettis County Bond and Invest- ment Company of Sedalia, Mo.: the Tontinc Savings Association of Minneapolis, the Columbia Investment Company of Cincin. nati, the National Investment Company of Cincinnati, the National Investment Com- pany of Washington, D. C.; and the South- ern Mutual Investment Company of Lex- ington, Ky. Their general method of busi- ness was to take subscriptions for bonds to be paid by gradual assessments, and by a scheme of numbers every subscriber who happened to be the fiftieth or the one-hun- dredth drew the whole amount of his bond without further p2yment. Benjamin But terworth, ex-Representative in Congre from Ohio, and secretary of the world’. auxiliary of the world’s Columbian expos tion, was attorney for the bond lottery ccm- panies. He made a most elaborate and ear: est argument and appeal for his clients, be- fore his old friend in Congress, the Post- master General, and Assistant Attorney General Thomas presented the argument against the companies. After keeping the question under adviseme t for severai months the Postmaster General referred it to the Department of Justice for an opinion. The Attorney General holds that all com- panies of the class described are alike in thelr general design and differ only in de- tails and methods. He says: “The design is to induce subscriptions of bonds by holding out the chance of receiving large sums for small payments, the chance dependi the numbering of the bonds. The sc for d#termining the fortunate numbers LOTTERY ar and so do the terms in which the bonds and coupons express the undertaking of the companies, but it cannot be fairly denied that, without the ever-present chance of speedily getting much for little, not one of these companies would attempt to do busi ness, or succeed in the attempt if made. That the intention is generally to carry out fairly those schemes as proposed and under- stood need not be denied, but this does not relieve them from legal condemnation. In my opinion, the Pettis County Company comes within the terms of the statu’ and all other companies which promise pay- ments to part only of a class, who all stand on an equal footing, leaving the selection to depend on any rule of hazard, whether such payments corstiiute the entire scheme of -their business or are connected with other features which would not, by them- selves, be objectionable.” The decision is regarded by postal offi- clals as a victory, as it affects many cases that have been up before the department and disposed of by the issuance of lottery orders. ee Army Order: Major Wm. H. Corbusier, surgeon, has been detailed as a member of the board of officers at Fort Monroe, Va., vice Richard 8. Vickery, surgeon, relieved. A board of survey, consisting of Major L. C. Forsyth, quartermaster; Major Henry G. Sharpe, commissary of subsistence, and Lieut. Kirby Walker, third cavalry, will meet at St. Louis on the 28th instant, to fix the responsibility for certain damaged clothing for which Capt. Henry F. Kendall, eighth cavalry, is accountable. Lieut. Edmund M. Leary, second cavalry, has been granted leave of absence for four months, with permission to go beyond the limits of his department. Lieut. Charles D. Palmer, third artillery, has been granted leave of absence until April 1, on account of disability. The leave of absence granted Lieut. Wm. N. Blow, jr., quartermaster, has been ex- tended one month. _ X Rays From a Horseshoe Magnet. Prof. H. P. Pratt of Chicago claims to have discovered in the common horseshoe magnet a power of photographing through opaque substances similar to that shown by the X ray and Crookes tubes. Accord- ing to experiments made by the professor with a horseshoe magnet, laid on a sengi- tized photographic plate enveloped in a thick black cloth, the force of the magnet upon the concealed plate was very similar to that shown by the X rays. Objects plac- ed alongside the magnet were clearly pho- tographed on the negative, while the shape of the magnet itself was most distinctly shown. THE GOOD OLD STATE Her Sons and Daughters Do Honor to Maine. PROUD OF A PREAT RECORD Reception Extenled to the Con- 4 > P gressional Delegation. SENATOR FRYE’S SPEECH A more congenial ard happier crowd than that which gathered in Masonic Temple last night would be difficult to conceive, much less to assemble, and when it Is stat- ed that the throng was composed almest exclusively of the men and women and lads and lassies of the good old state of Maine it will be readily realized that such a statement is not exaggerated. The occasion was the reception extended to the Maine delegation in Congress by the residents of the pine tree state in Washington, given under the auspices of the Society of the Sons and Daughters of Maine. The guests were received by ex- Governor Sydney Perham, president of the society, and Mrs. Perham, Senator and Mrs. Frye, ex-Governor and Present Congress- man Dingley and Mrs. Dingley and Speaker Reed, who was present during the carly part of the evening, ‘The introductions were made by Messrs. O. H. Briggs and Pittman Pulsifer. When the guests had all assembled and a delightful half hour had been spent in fraternal Intercourse and friendly greeting, the exercises of the even- ing were commenced. x-Governor Ter- ham, In a few pleasant remarks, introduc- ed Senator Frye, who was enthusiastically greeted. Senator Frye Talks About Maine. Senator Frye was in his happiest vein, and was inspired by that pine tree state enthusiasm which has carried him and others like him into lasting places of em- inence and renown. He said he would not make an address, because in talking to Ma:ne people he felt that it was like talk- sng to his own family, and he m: well make a set speech to his eleven children. No other state, he declared, ap- proached Maine in the mutual Jove its people had for each other, and it gratified him to see so many handsome and prosper- ous people from Maine !n the national cap- ital, All that was neces: as a certificate of success, he declared, was birth in Mame. The youth there was taught that genius consisted in knowing how to work, and that the road to prosperity Jay by the paths of thrift and econo: He related some grand- amusing incidents of now he and some others had bragged about Maine al a ent dinner of the alumni, and allud- ed to how vas pointed out as an illustration of what Maine zouid do. A Tribute to Speaker Reed. Here Senator Frye looked around the hall in search of the big tigure of the Speaker, and not finding him, remarked that he thought Reed. had dodged. “He wants’ to be resident, and he will pe," said the Senator, “because he ts a Maine man and a graduate of Bowdoin. une Unng is characteristic of our Aleine boys.

POLICEMAN AND FIREMAN Two Unworthy Members in the Police Qourt Officer Michael Colbert and His Transactions With a Woman—DBoth Men Lectured and Fined. ‘There was a member of the police de- partment and also a member of the fire de- partment in the Police Court today for vio- lations of law, and both men were convict- ed and fined. The case of Policeman Mich- ael Colbert of the third precinct was heard in Judge Kimball's court, the charge against him being profanity, while John Davidson, the fireman, was tried before Judge Miller for assaulting a milk dealer. The former case attracted a large crowd of policemen and other spectators, and Prosecuting Attorney Pugh made a speech, in which he arraigned the policeman in severest terms. “I am here to do my duty,” sald Mr. Pugh, “and I’m going to do it, whether the defendant be a policeman or whether he be a citizen.” Mrs. Annie Craven, a respectable look- ing colored woman, who lives at 623 New Hampshire avenue, was in court to prose- cute the man In blue clothes and brass but- tons. She was in the employ of Mr. Wil- liam McKinney at the time the policeman committed the offense, and there was no one in court to say a word against her cheracten other than the policeman on trial. According to her statement and the ad- mission of the officer, he borrowed or ob- tained from her $1. She lived on his beat, and he says ‘s a woman of evil life. “And this siat. men: of .he officer,” argued Mr. Pugh, “is an intimation that it was hush money.’ He Made Threats. Mrs. Craven’s testimony showed that the policeman did not intend to pay back the motey, and so she went to his lieutenant. This higher official advised him to pay the meney, which he did, but very reluctantly. Then the policeman began indulging in threats to get even. “I’m going to vag her,” was one threat stated by a witness, and “I’m going to lock her up the first time I see her on the stre; was another. After sending word to the woman Colbert called in person and indulged in some lan- guage for which he had arrested others, and Mrs. Craven, feeling offended at his conduct, swore out the warrant. ‘The policeman admitted the transaction about the vollar, but made a general denial of everything else said against him. Then he Said the woman was not a re- spectable ony. He gave as his reason for calling upon \er that she had been dogging his partner's Xootsteps about the beat, and taking a friendly interest in his partner. He had called to bring about an end of the trouble and save his partner, if possible. The Penalty. Other witnesses gave evidence, and the court heard arguments. Lawyer Sillers, for tke officer, argued his side of the case, claiming an acquittal, and then the court heard what the prosecuting attorney had to say. “The officer's statement that he borrowed $1 from a prestitute,” argued counsel, “rakes the case much worse than I had even anticipated, but the prcof shows that ske is a respectable woman. He borrowed the money in August, and the woman had been trying to get it back ever since. She was forced to go to the lieutenant, and then he paid her.” Mr. Pugh referred to the officer's state- ment about his partner, end also his claim that she had violated the law, and said that, o1. examination, he had utterly failed to show a single violation. Judge Kimball said that the conduct of the officer was inexcusable. He concluded trcm Coltert’s statement that his (Col- bert’s) partner had acted badly, and it ap- peared os if Colbert was trying to make his partner jealous. ‘I have notified policemen more than once,” said the judge, “of the consequences of their violating the law, and have told them that the penalty in their cases would be double. This is not to be an exception, and a fine of $10 is imposed. Fireman Fined. John Davidson, the fireman, fs a mem- ber of No. 6 compaay. He has not been a member of the department very long and his conduct in this case will probably result in his being brought before the board. Dairyman Hollidge made complaint that Davidson had helped nimself to milk from his wagon, and not only did he refuse to pay for it, but he assaulte] him (Hollidge) for just asking for payment. “I understand just how this happened,” remarked the court. “You had been drink- ing and thought you would sober up on mil “Yes, I had been drinking,” admitted the fireman, and a fine of $10 was imposed. ————. IN THE SENATE. Talks on Silver and the Cuban Reso- lution. The tariff-silver debate between the re- publican leaders In the Senate continued for a short time yesterday after The Star went to press. There was a colloquy be- tween Senators Teller and Sherman as to the republican definition of “bimetallism.” After an argument by Mr. Sherman, Mr. Teller repudiated the suggestion that the state of Colorado would ever accept the dishonest interpretation of bimetallism here presented, and if it did, added Mr. Teller, he would cease to represent that state in the United States Senate. “The Senator speaks of the death of sil- ver,” exclaimed Mr. ‘Teller, “but I warn him that he will find it a lively corpse to rise up here and haunt him.” The safety of the republican party, con- cluded Mr. Teller, es in an adherence to t, sound money, maje up of the two is, side by side, as from time imme- morial. “But if the republican party,” added he, “puts itself under the leadership of the Senator from Ohio (Sherman), it will be a party of the past, and the glory of its past will be obliterated in the infamy of that transaction.” Mr. Sherman did not reply, and the de- bate, which had lasted nearly three hours, came to a closer The Cuban Resolutions. At 3:30 o'clock the Cuban question, which had been laid aside since 2 o'clock, secured the right of way, and Mr. White addressed the Senate. While expressing his sym- pathy for the Cubans in their struggle, he urged the need of an orderly procedure. The Senator gave much attention to legal phases involved in the rezognition of bel- ligerency. He argued that it was not for the Senate to presume that the President would not recognize the belligerency should circumstances warrant. At 5 o’clock the Senrie went into execu- tive session, leaving Mr. White's speech unfinished, and the following nominations : ed: Were sconaters: New York—Willlam B. Day- ton, Port Jefferson. North Carolina—W. N. Pritchard, at Chapel Hil; W. D. Gas- ter, at Fayetteville; J. A. Little, at Wades- boro’; W. F. Marshal, at Gastonia. Se Alleged Swindling Game. The police are looking for two strang- ers who have been here operating an old swindle, and who have obtained small amounts of money. Their game* was to take orders for dress patterns, exhibiting samples of the goods. The samples were of fine quality of goods, and as un in- ducement the swindlers promised to send a tailor to make up the garments. In this way they succeeded in getting small ad- on their orders. Inspector Hellin- to wkom complaint was made, had estigation made, and learned that there is no house in Baltimore guch as the alleged swindlers represented. ——- Expenditures of the District.

Clifford, wife of Edward G. Cliford—well known in Dustress circles and the political fleld— residing at 3521 Laclede avenue, St. Louls, interviewed August 7, 1895, said: “For more than twelve sears I have suffered from Indigestion and Nervous Dyspepsia. I have suffered intensely during that time and have spent large sums of money in the employment of St. Louls’ uiost prominent physicians. Aside from this I have had reccurse, I believe, to nearly every medicine en the market supposed to be infallible tn such cases as mine—and many gallons of hot water have been used by physicians in wzshing (internally) my stomach, But all to no avail; the relief afforded was only temporary. Of late I have given up all thoaghts of ever being permanently cured. Some time ago I starved to use Iipans Tabutes at the suggestion of my son, who advised me to try them. Since then I ean say Tam fecling daily some Letter. I take one Tabule after each meal and T can now look forward to meal time with a pleasure I haven't experienced for years. Also the I es that bave constantly harassed me in the past—and the accumulation of gases upon my stomach have disappeared. ‘These improvements Tattribut» to Ripans Tabules, If their efficacy continues I will never be without a bex of Fipans Tabules. My only regret is that they come to me so late in life, (Signed) Mrs. E. G. CLIFFORD.” One Shel ea ey Chemical Company, No. 40 Spruce st., New York. Sample vial, 10 cents.
