C., June 15—The treaty for the annexation of the Huwaiian Islands to the United States will be sent | to the Senate by Presigent McKinley to- morrow unless present plans are changed. Men close to the administration and others engaged in pushing through the tariff bill have been informed that the treaiy will be transmitted to the Senate to-morrow. Itis stated there will be no consideration of the Hawaiian reciprocity provision of the tariff biil until the treaty is received. The one point of importance in which the convention negotiated by Secretary Foster during President Harrison’s administration is the omission of any provision for ex-Queen | Litinokalani and the Princess Kaiulani. In the ongimal treaty it was provided | the Government of the Unitea States should pay the ex-Queen the sum | of §20,000 cash and the same amount of money as a pension each year during the remainder of her natural life, provided she in good faith submitted to the Govern- | ment of the United States and the local government of the isiands. The Princess Kaiulani, being the next in line of royal blood, was to receive a cash payment of $130,000, but no peusion, under a similar Pproviso as in the case of the ex-Queen.

WICHITA, Kaxs, June 15.—Tho pend- ing negotiations between the Dawes Com- | mission and the Cherokees ot Indian Ter- | ritory, in which the Government is seek- | ing to bring about an agreement whereby | the Cherokee National Government shall be wiped out d the lands be aliotted, have developed strong feclings of resent- ‘ ment among the fullbloods and the Khe- | Too-Wah, a secret nolitical organization | of the Cherokees. which will, it is feared, | precivitate actual hosulities uniess there | is a speedy change of sentiment. | The Cherokee Nation is in the midst of | | | i & political campaign, this being the year for the election of national officers’ and the nominating conventions now being held afford an opvortunity for the dissem- ination of the seeds of di-content. | Besides these mass-meetings are being held throughout the Nation, at which fiery speeches are made against continu- ing the negotiauions. Several numbers of the Cherokee Commission bave been threatened with deatn it they ireat witn the Dawes Commis:ion, and the blood- thirsty Khe-Too- Wahs have done enough cold-blooded murders to give assurance thatthe threats will bs executed, The greatest anxiety ard unrest prevail throughout the Cherokee Nation, and it 1s believed a crisis is near at hand. The Cherokees bave no faith in their leaders, and the fullblood contingent has repu ated the old parties and organized one of their own. The delegation which they | sent to Washington was for the purpose | of old tribal leaders stopping further ne- | gotiations with the Cherokee Commission, { and, if their goverament is overthrown, | placing the entire resvonsibility for ths | change upon the United States Govern- ment. There is no hope for anything aproach- ing an agreement between the two com- issions which are now in session at Fort bson until the delegation rcturns from Washington. It is believed that even if the Dawes Commission withdraws the Cherokee election in August it will bring on a clash between the rival factions, and further developments are awaited with a feeling more of dread than hopefulness. Should a trealy be patched up by the | Dawes Commission it is the prevailing be- | lief that the fullbloods wou!d wreak dire 2 g | vengeauce mpon their leaders. who in- sisted on bringing it about. The Chero- | kees have more pride in tueir tribal government than any other tribe in the | Territory, and sume of the most radical eaders declare that iney would prefer | deatn to tribal disbandment. i Fall Preparation and dispose | ] Sales. wiure sales, each week producin, of tl stock in this mann season--marking many different lines of goods down to one low price—sometimes cost. !
