Mr. Whe-ler asked the wit- ness if she had ever told Judge Aitken that she wanted a lawyer of standing to testify tha saw the deeds as early as Janunary. sthing of the kind ever occurred,” said Mrs. Craven. *Is it not a fact that you wrote a letter to Judge Aitken in which you insiructed be permitted.

He said, | however, that ke would find time to study | up on the gNestion, and if he found him- | self in error wontd reverse his ruling later on in the triat Mrs. Craven's reply was that she had no recollection of even writing such a let- ter. She did, however, remember having asked Judge Aitken to go to her attorneys and make a statementas to what he knew, and that be did so. From his capacious inside pocket Mr. | Wheeler produced & type-written paper, whick: is claimed to bea form of contract between Jud e Aitken and Mrs. Craven, which differs in its wording from the one | she produced in court ana which had not been signed by either of the contracting parties. ‘This was an_effort to show that Mrs. Craven interlined some provisions in | the contract which Aitken would notac- | cent. Mrs. Craven examined the paper and said she might have seen it and she mignt not. Some of the pencil interlineations, she «aid, jooked like her handwriling, but she would not swear that they were, Being asked why she had not continued to retain Aitken on her staff of attorneys, Mrs. Craven said it was because she found out that he had been indicted for islony, and, besides, she did not care for him. An- other reason was that her other attorneys ccted to such a mun. Mr. Wheeler produced what purported to be a letter from Aitken to Mrs. Craven, in which he wrote that he woula not ac- cent Lier terms and cou'd not testify for her. An examination of this document showed that it was a supposed copy of & letter, and was in reality written by a law clerk. The attorneys were discussing | it when court adjourned until Monday.

DYNAMITE USED O A SOLDIERS' HOME Evidently a Plot to Kill the Governor and Family. His Residence Wrecked and His Wife Seriously Injured. Panic Among the Veterans—Arrest of a Man Ba:lleved to Be the Culprit. KANSASCITY, Mo., June 11.—A special to the Star from Leavenwc Kans., says: An attempt was made upon the iife of Governor Andrew J. Smith of the Solaiers’ Home and his wife and daugh- ter, between 4 and 5 o'clock this morning by some dastard who is as yet unknown. Dynamite was employed in the outrage. The explosion, which all but demolished the Governor’s beautiful residence, aroused | tne residents of the city, and houses trem- | bted as if undergoing an eartuquake | shocl Mrs. Smith had a miraculous escape from death, the force of the expiosion be- ing directly beneath the bed chamber. Be- sides being cut and bruised by broken glass and pieces of flying bric-a-brac and furniture, she was completely prostrated by the frightful shock, and is nowin a precarious condition. Governor Smith and his daughter, Miss Duisy, occupiea rooms on the second floor, far enough removed from the ex- plosion to escape the serious consequences suffered by Mrs. Smith. The residence is a scene of wreckare. The brick walls are tornand crackea, one side being almost completely blown out. is scattered over the grounds for several rods. The interior is a scene of confusion and destruction, with broken bric-a-brac and furnishings utterly wrecked. The report of the explosion was dis- tinctly beard in this ¢ three miles away, and many residents wera aroused by the shock, which was not unlike the trembling produced by an earthquake. Veterans in the barracks were tnrown from their cots and a panic was with diffi- culty prevented. Governor Smith attributes the attempt on his life and tbat of his family to the war waged against him daring the past five or six years. The veterans are stand- ing by him manfully and swear tney will Iynch the wretch if he be caught. From the first Governor Smith suspect- ed J. W. O.iver of being the guilty man.

Caffery Makes a Statement Bearing on the Profits of the Sugar Trust. Hoar Glves Notice of a Resolution to Appoint a Commission to Ree= port at the Next Sesslon. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 11 —The closest and most exciting vote yet in the Senate on the tariff bill was taken to-aay, when after nearly five hours’ discussion the Republican caucus scored a victo whici came very near being a defeat. was the proposition to increase the duiy on refined sugar from 1.785 cents a pound, as in the Dingley bill, to 1.95 cents. The vote was: Ayes 32, noes 3). 1f the Democrat who voted with the Re- publicans (McEnerny) had voted with his party the resuit would have been a ti and if the Populist who always votes with the Democrats (Allen) had been present the amendment would have been defeated. While its success appears to be an ad- vantage to the sugar-refining interest that advantage will be offset, according to no- tice eiven, by the omission of the clause imposing an additional duty en sugar coming from countries paying an export duty. When the bill was taken up, Jones of Arkansas submitted tables as to the effect of the sugar schedule on the profit of the trust as compared with profits under the existing act and under the Dingley bill. The presidieg officer (Frye) stated the question to be on the amendment increas- ing the duty on *‘sugarabove No. 16 Dutch siandard in color and all sugar which has gone through the process of refining’ from 1.875 cents to 1.95 cents a pound, and was proceeding to put tue question, when ayes and noes were demanded and oraered. Beiore the vote was taken Caffery made a further statement bearing on the profits of the sugar trust. He asserted that the sugar trust held the market practically for all cane sugar, and its only fear or competition came from German beet sugar. That fear was overcome by reason of the differential duty on foreign bounty- paid suger. The vpending bill, he added, carried more profit to the trust than the Wiison bill. Cont ing to arraign the sugar trust Caffery said: “It is the only gi- gantic trust in the world that resisen- tirely on legislation for support. In every quarter of the globe where it gats its sup- ply the trus: fixes its prices and the ques- tion is whether the Senate is going to give it a further lease of power to raise or reduce prices at its own sweet will.” Gorman spoke of the Republicans as be- ing compelled by conditions of the Treas- ury 10 abandon their theory as to a “free breakfast table. Ha s the sugar schedule was iliogical, unfair and destruc- tive of commercial interests. The verdict of the people, he predicted, wouid be acainst the Republicans in the next Presidential election. Senator Hoar drew from Allison a state- meat to the effect that the destruction of the sugar-refining business would bring the ruin of the sugarcane and beet-grow- ing interests, and he remarked tnat the struggle over the sugar schedule between the Democrats and Republicans of the Senate was a struggle on the part of the Republicans to establish one of the great- est and most valuable agricuitural inter- ests of the count: Atfter epeeciies by Stewartand Caffery the vote was taken. Jones of Arkansas offered an amend- ment to strike out certain words in clause just yoted on, the effect of which would be a slight diminution of the ad- vantage to the sugar refineries. It went over till to-morrow. Hoar gave notice of a resolution for tha appointment of a commission of five, not more than three to belong to one political party, to report at the next session of Congress what policy is best adapt-d for procuring a sufficient supply of sugar for the people at the least cost, and to en- courage the raising of the amount needed ; | also what amount of duty is necessary to enable the retinery business to be con- dueted at a reasonable profit so as not to enable persons interested therein to exer- cise an improper control over the market. THE HAWAUAN TREATY. Caucus of Republican Members To-Day Will Probably Determine the Sen- ate’s Action. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 11.—The Senate's action upon the reciprocity treaty with Hawaii wili probably be deter- which has been called for to-morrow. Ever since the Finance Committee re- ported its substitute for the Dingley bill contain members have been subject to constantly increasing pressure from friends of the treaty and those who want it abrogated. Pressure has been brought upon the com- mittee to recommend the sbrogation of the treaty, and if not that to request the President to negotiate a modification of it, with the proviso that if this be not done in a year then notice of termination be civen. Friends of the treaty, who are also friends of Hawaii and generally known as favoring annexation, want nothing said in the bill about abrogation. They will be satisfied to have a provision inserted asking the President to negotiate a modi- fication of the treaty, but as to abrogation they say that in view of the great propa- bility of an early consideration of the | question of annexation there is no good reason for disturbing commercial rela- tions which in all probability will be re- newed under a permanent urrangement. Just what the caucus will do it is im- TROUBLES REMOVED. A Californian Feels as Though Given New Life. 8ax Fravcisco, Cal.—*'I suffered from constant cold in the head and chest.

S lek ABOUT TO ANNEX HAWAIL One of the Setftled Plans of President McKinley—Complications That Can Be Qvercome. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 11.—Sev- eral weeks ago a Washington special to THE CALL said that the administration favored the annexation of Hawaii. The selection of Harold M. Sewall of Maine as United States Minister to Hawail was at that time announced exclusively in THE CaLr, couvied with the prediction that this meant that the administration would favor annexation of the islands. There is highest authority for the state- ment that President McKinley’s adminis- tration has given serious consideration to the subject. Friendsof the annexation plan understand that the main points in a con- vention or treaty for annexation of the new island republic are under d Thes~ embrace the cession of Hawaii to the United States as a territory, in return for the protection of the Unitea States Government, including all bher ports and crown lands; the assumption by the new republic to a limited sum, probably $1,000,000; conferring citizenship upon all citizens of Hawaii excep! Asiatics, and a strict exciusion from the United States of Chinese or ‘‘coolies.” @This unudesirable part of the Hawaiian povulation will not be permitted under the plan of annexation now being con- sidered to pass from Hawnil into any other territory of the United States. The points outlined above by a friend of annexation have been submitted to the State Department and have been under consideration for some time. There are a number of sgnificant incidents tending to confirm the President’s interest in the subject, among *hem the mission of John W. Foster to Hawaii and the arrival of ex-Minister Thurston of Hawaii in Wash. ington as the avowed promoter of annex- ation and his activity with the Hawaiian Minister (Mr. Castle) in besieging the State Department and Congress.
