The agri- cultoral schedule was completed and the spirits and wines schedule reached. There was a vigorous fizht upon the various paragraphs all through the day, princi- pally by Vest of Misrouri and Jones of rkansas, but without effecting any change.

The Treaty May Sot Be Present Sessio WASHINGTON, D. C., June 16.—Indi- cations are that there will be a determined «ffort 10 defeat the Hawaiian annexation treaty. Senator Wellington saia to-day: here is a general agreement among publican Sena y should be abrogated, but exactly U steps should be taken to bring about | th- desired result has occasioned a wide | divergence of ovinion. I think it may be assumed that the treaty will go. I ar self, in favor of making a decla iff bill that after a certain date the treaty shall cease to ex- st, giving the Hawaiians the legal notice of one year. There have been various vropositions suggzested, and the question fied at the now seems to be what this country, as a can poweriul Nation, dealing with a smal! and weaker nation. *'So far as I know,” continued the Sen- ator, “the annexation of the islands Las | not been determined upon as the policy of the party in the Senate. Idonotknow what recommendations the President may make concerning the subject. ‘'t seems 1o me that the continuance of the treaty, which oyerates in favor of the Hawaiians and to our disadvantage, is a bad business proposition, and the guestion would naturally arise whether the same reason that renders the reciprocity treaty objectionable could not be urged aiso | azainst the annexation proposition. For | myself Ihave not considered the proposi- | tion of annexation because I do not re- | gard it as being before us. The question | would naturally arise whether we would | | honorably do in not be losing more than we can gain by | pursuing such a course.” It1s by no means certain that an an- nexation treaty can pass the Senate. Tte Democratic members have not been ap- prised of the plans of the admuinistration except through the newspapers, and have not civen the matier consideration. Many of them, however, are opyosed to terri- torial acqu from this conti- nent and doubt the wisdom of the course suggested. A number of Republicans also have been unable to see exactly what ad- vantages the United States would secure | to compensate for the additional respon- sibilities thbis country would assume. Senator White announced himsell to- day as determined to oppose the ratifica- tion of the treaty, and expressed doubt as to a serious effort veing made to secure ratification at the present session. He based his objection largely on the grounds of the small percentags of Americans in Hawaii, there being onty about 2000 out of a total population of 109.000. He thinks it | very doubtful whether the treaty can sc- | cure the necessary two-thirds vote to assare | ratification. | Senator Perkins, although a Republi- can, announces that be will oppose the | consideration of the irauty at the present Cession. He says the questions involved “re of two greai imporiance for hasty dis- posal.

Congressman Loud Is Pleased That a California Man Is Chosen. Probability That Bids for Excava- tlon and Foundation May Be Opened Next Month. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 16.—The Treasury Department has selected James H. Humpbreys of San Francitco for superintendent of the new Postoflice build- ing, and his appointment will bs made in afew days. It is understood that his com- pensation will beabout $8 per day for each actual working day. Tae Cavy's dispatches from Washington have recentiy given an account of a diffi- culty Mr. Humphreys had with the for- mer quartermaster at San Francisco. He was dismissed from his position as enginesr in the qaartermaster’s office there for an alleged performance cf work outside of his official duties, but the real reason for his dismissal was tha* he had a | misunderstanding with Quartermaster Lees on account of a pumping station on Puget Sound, which was erectea by Engineer Humphrey’s at a cost much less than estimated by the department. The two men aiso bad a misunderstanding about Anzel Island, blue stone, used in erecting a seawall. Quartermaster Kimball, who succeeded Lees, as well as the quartermasier now stationed at San Francisco, testified in be- balf of Humphreys, The Quartermaster-General of the War Department (Weeks), who was formeriy stationed on the Pacific Coast, knew Humphreys to bea good man. The latter had formerly worked under Weeks on the coast. Senator Perkins, Congressman Loud and ex-Attorney-General Hart of Califo: nia have been especially active in the! efforts to have Mr. Humphreys reinstated in the guartermaster’s office at San Fran- cisco. They were successful tc-day aud the order was issued late this afternoon. He willin a few days be transferred as superintendent of the new Postoffice buiiding. 1t secms that the War Department deems it best not to create any further disturbance by sending Humphreys back to his old place, but by an amicable ar- rangement between the War Department and the Treasury Department he will be transferred, under civil service rule, to be superintendent of the new buildings in construction. His reinstatement in the quartermaster’s office to-day was made in | be eligible under | & | pine_ Isiands order that he might civil service regulations for the superin- tendency. Otherwise he would not have been on the eligible list. Congressman Loud is naturally well pleased over the successful outceme of his ifornia man appointed superintendent, for as stated in Tuesday’s CALL the Becretary of the Treasury had about decided to send & man from the Supervising Architect’s office to superin- tend the work. Mr. Loud thinks that the bids for excavation and foundation of the new building will be opened at the Treas- ury Department July 22. He understood that the date had been erroneously given in other San Francisco pape: EAGER FOR THE INQUIRY. Commander Mulian Claims That He Disprove the Charges Made Agairs: H m. Can WASHINGTON, D. C, June 16.—The | court-martial of Commander Dennis W, Mullan was begun here to-dn: charges set forth that Commander Mullan was under the 1nfluence of liquor at the Escambia Hotel, Pensacola.

Another specification was that the ac- cused was arank in one of the Pensacoia | charge was | traction cars, The second that Commander Mullan was drunk on duty. The specifications were that he was drunk in various places while on duty at the yards.

This motion was sustained after a reading of that partof the rules governing the United States navy bearing on the case. Captain John Maullan, brother of Com- man:der Mullan, told TuHE CArn corre- spondent that this court-martial was ordered at the earnest so.icitaiion of the accused. He said tnat the stories of drunkenness had their origiu among a lot of women at Pensacola, and that as his brother would ' soon apply for examination for promotion in consequence of the retirement of Ad- miral Brown he desired the stories of his drunkenness set at rest by official investi- Fat He said it was the first time in history of an officer being tried by court- martial for offenses alleged to have been committed 1000 miles away from the place of trial. This was perfectly satisfactory to the accused, however, us his only wish was to prove the groundlessness of the gossip affecting his zood name. el OF INTEREST 10 THE COAST. J. C.
