Excursion and Exerclses of the San Francisco Young Men's Christian Association. PACIFIC GROVE, CaL, June 17.—The | annual Bunker Hill day excursion of the San Francisco Young Men’s Christian As- sociation arrived here on their special train at 11:20 this morning. A large crowd of people gave the young men s Learty welcome at the station and es. corted them to the quarters assigned them at El Carmelo Hotel, and the Pacific Improvement Company’s cottages. About 200 people caine down from San Francisco, some stopping at D21 Monte, but the greater number coming on to Pa- cific Grove, where they will enjoy a week’s outing. After the luncheon hour a few impor- tant committee meetings, presided over by H. J. McCoy, general secretary of the San Francisco Young Men’s Chrisiian Associ- ation, began the businessof the conven- tion. The remainder of the afternoon was spent in various kinds of athletic sports, many enjoying a refreshing dip into the bay or a sail over its dancing waters. Wheeling and driving were also in- duiged in. The event of the day was the patriotic celebration at the Metnodist Episcopal Assembly Hall. An immense aadience assembled long before the appointed time und waited vatiently for the opening chorus, “The Star-spangled Banner.’ Afier a shori musical programme, a nota. ble feature of which was the soio, *“The Sword of Bunker Hill,” by Mr. Noyes of Pacific Grove, Chairman H. J. McCoy in- troduced Dr. J. A. Cruzan, editor of the Pacific of San Francisco, as the orator of ihe evening. Dr. Cruzar gave a most schola-ly ad- dress upon beroism. He openea with a brief ouiline of the events of the battie of Bunker Hill, and the wonderful effect this battle had upon the history of our own and other nations. The muain head of his discourse, true heroism, was sub. divided into four parts, which be desiz- nated *‘Cbaracteristics of True Heroiam.” The first characteristic was exemplitied most elearly by the makers of our Nation in the giving of themseives whole-heart- edly and entirely to their great cause. The second characteristic, faith sight, enables the nero to ~ee as other men do not see—as Luther, William of Orange, Washington and Lincoin saw the way out of the dark circumstances which sur- rounded them. The third characteristic, courage, Dr. Cruzan described as not that endurance which would enable two men to meet and pound each other 0 a jelly in a prize- ring, but that power which enables a man to meet foes and misforiunes, both rural and physical, whetber in battle or from a pure sense of duty waich be encounters in every-day life. Supreme courage, the fourth character- istic, he said, was self sacr.fice—that sac- rifice which makes a man willing to give up limb or lifs to the cause he espouscs and which gives him power to heroically meet his misfort or death. “There can be no true couraze,” said Dr. Cruzan, *“without this characteristic.”” The address closed with a short practical application of the-e ideas to pre:ent day Beeds. After a chorus of “‘America” vraver closed the exercises. g Leavy stone—Over 20 years; first, | Starter, August H.

Republicans Rsataln the WMalority and Easlly Defeat All Demo- cratic Amendments. WASHINGTON, D. C.,, June 17.—If the same rate of progress made by tue Senate the last two days is kept up for another week, the tar/ff biil will be in the hands of the conference committee. In those two days noless than thirty-four pages, comprising eighty-four separate para- graphs, were disposed of. And now the Senate has gone over about half of 1t and reached schedule J, which has to do with duties on flax, hemp, jute and their manufactures. Two full schedules were and wines, and scheduie I, cotton manu- factures, The usual attacks were made | Arkansas and Vest, but not in a single instance was there a sign of wavering on the Republican side; and all aye and noe | voies iaken down to the last showed tbe Republican majority seven to ten. On | the last vote, however, the majority was been supporting the majority all day, voting with the Democrats. In the course of the day Vest delivered one of his embittered declamations in op- position to the duty on natural m.neral waters. He spoke of the necessity those waters to many poor patients, and imagined their being told to “drink our water or die,” and that it was better for | them to die than a great protective sys- tem to be sacrificed. Tillman participated in the discussion to load the bill as heavily as they dared and promising to belp them in doing so. Allison managed the discussion on the | Republican side, no other Senator taking part. It was 11:05 o’clock when schedule H, | brandy ana dustilled spirits, was taken up. | The duty on brandy and distilled spirits | not specially provided for was fixed at $225 per proof gallon, instead of §: the House bill. The clause in s 289 as to forfeiting imported liquor certain conditions, which the F) | Committee had recommended out, was retained, Aliison having idrn:\n in inder nance be struck with- the amendment. The committee amendment to the other paragraphs was | sgreed to. Thecommittee’s substitute for paragraph 205, still wines, was agieed to. | It makes the duty on still wines, includ- ing ginger wine and vermouth, when in casks containing 14 per cent or less of absolute alcoho!, 30 cents a gallon; wien containing more than 14 per cent of | aicohol, 50 cents; when bottled, $1 60 per case of a dozen auarts or two dozen pinuts. | Paragraph 299 makes the duty 18 cents per dozen bottles on ginger ale and sim- | ilar beverages containing no alcohol. The } paragraph was agreed to. Paragraph 300, putting duties on min- | eral waters, natural and artificial, es | agreed to, reduces the House rates from |30 cents a dozen pint bottles to 14 cents; from 40 cents on quart bottles to 24 cents, | 30d in larger vesseis from 30 cents a gallon { t0 20 cents; and they require the designa; { tion of contents to be blown into bottles after Feuruary 1 next, When schedule 1, cotton manufactures, was taken up Jones of Arkansas and Mils argued in favor of putting cotton yarn on the free list 80 as to give a fair field to cotton-manufacturers, who would then defy all competition. Vest spoke in the same line. McLaurin attacked the bill generally as being framed on sectional lines and sacri- ficing the interests of the South to the greed and avarice of the North, The paragraph was agreed to. The two new paragraphs reported by the Finance Committee—one defining cotton cloth and the other putting a duty of 8 cents a Vest moved to reduce the duty on ready- made clothing (paragraph 311) from 50 per cent ad valorem to 40 per cent; also to reduce the rates on plushes (312). Botn motions were defeated and the paragraphs agreed to. graphs from 313 to 319 were agreed to. Paragraph 317 was modified by making the duty on suspenders and braces 40 per cent instead of 45 per cent and by making the duty on cotton labels 50 cents 8 pound and 30 per cent ad valorem instead of 25 and 35. A new paragraph was added on motion of Allison making the duty on cotton yarns and cotton manulfactures from yarns finer than No. 10, 10 per cent ad valorem in addition to appropriate duties on cot- ton paragraphs, Vest referred to this new paragraph asa compensatory tax and asked Allison whether he would have offered the amend- ment if a tax had not been put on raw cotton ? Allison replied that certainly he would uot. Gray asked Vest whether he had ever discovered if anything compensatory to the consumer came in, “Ob,” Vest replied, “that is in the clouds or somewhere eise. The consumer is merely compensated in general philan- thropic declarations as to how much our friends on the other side think of him.” Jones of Arkansas denounced the pro- posed compensatory paragraph as an abominable fraud that ought to excite the indignation of every Senator. The para- grapk, however, was agreed to, 30 to 26. This closed the cotton schedule and brought matters down to schedule J, flax, hemp, jute and their manufactures. The bill then went over. — DEBS' CU-OPLKATIVE STATE., Plan of the Organization Adopled by the Delegates. CHICAGO, Irr., June 17.—KEugene V. Debs’ project for the formation of a co- operative colonization society was put under way to-day, when the preamble to the coustitution for the organization, ich is to succeed the American Railway Union, was laid before the delegates. The meeting, which was secret, was well sttended, many women being among the delegates. T e name proposed by Mr. Debs, ““I'he Social Democracy of America,” was in- corporated in the preamble. Mr. Debls advanc=d 1easons for the title and the rone througn to-day, schedule H, spirits | on almost every paragraph by Jones of | cut to four, Teller and slcEnery who had | the extent of inviting the Kepublicans to | square yard and 30 per cent ad vaiorem on | silk striped sleeve linings—were agreed to. | Tue committee amendments to para- | paragraphs in the preamble, which were approved by a majority oi the delegates. The American Railway Unioa Conyen- tion, after wrangling all day over Debs' plan for the welfare of labor, passed a resolution, almost unanimously, indors- ing the plansand to carry them into ef- fect as soon as possible. There were only three dissenting votes. The new organ- ization will be called the Royal Democ- racy o! America. Its declaration of prin- ciples is: *Labor, manual and mental, being the sole creator of wealth, it rizht- fully follows that those who vertorm all labor and create all wealth should enjoy the resnits of their efforts.” “This,” it aeclares, “1s rendered impos- ble by the modern system of production. Labor-saving machinery is the pro- nounced great detriment to the individual laborer. The iruits of cc-overative labor in gigantic faciories is appropriated by the owners of machines, mines, lands and means of transportation. Our despotic system of economics is the direct oppo- site to our democratic system of politics. It perpetuates ignorance and misery with all their concomitant evils, which makes human labor produce goods to be bought in the open market and places no real value on human life. Scienceand inven- | tion are diverted from their humane pur- poses and made the instruments for the ensiavement of men and the starvation of women and childre: The resolution asks all honest citizens 1o unite under the banner of social dem- ocracy, 80 as 1o “'be ready to conquer capi- talists'by making use of our political lib- erty and takikg possession of the public power, so that we may bput an end to the present barbarous struzgle by the aboli- tion of capitalism and the restoration of land and all means of production, trans- portation and distribution to the people as a collective body, and the substitution of a co-operative commonwealth for the present state of plantess production.’’ The resolution provides that one of the States of the Union is to be selecied ana its sphere of overations extended until | the "National commionwealth shall be established. e TRYING TO CORNER REED.

C., Juns 17.—The | | bill accepting 1he invitation of the| French Republic to participate in the | Paris Exposition of 1900 was reported | from the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs to-day and placed on the calendar. It appropriates $500,000 to defray the cost | of suitably representing this Govern- ment at the exposition, which is $150,000 more than the Secretary of Siate recom- mended. In the report on the bill the committee says France expended $1.- 000,000 at the Columbian Exposition, and Germany have already appropriated like amounts for the French Exposition. The increased amount was recommended in order that the representation of the United States may be in keeping with the dignity and importancs of the Govern- ment. an Ap- e e By My.

He said to-day, after express ing his gratification: The Hawaiians have asked no condi- tions in return for annexation. Tiey have been glad to leave all to Congress, feeling well assured that all interests will be carefully guarded and protected wher- ever they may lie. There wili be a devel- opment of Hawaii's resources.” The Chinese Minister called on Secre- tary Sherman to-day and made inquiries about the status the large Chinese pop- ulation of Hawaii wou!d bave if the islands are annexed. It is said the Minister com- plained that the provision in the annexa- tion treaty relating to the exclusion from the United States proper of Chinese now residing in Hawaii was inconsistent and could not hold good unless the exclusion act was recognized and the right of the Government to prevent Chinese goingifrom one State in the Union to another.

It should be freely and fully discussed, and doubtless will be at next winter's ses- sion.”’ The Washington Post claims to have | made a careful poll of the Senate, and says it shows that there are fitty-seven Senators in favor of annexation, or three less than the necessary two-tnirds.

White saps the Wonld Bo Foily. WASHINGTON, D.

It found further expression by tue signature of a treaty of friendsn aud navigation with the King in 1826—the first international compact negotiat-d by Hawaii. It was signal.y announced in 1843, when the s caused thy British Government to disayow the seizure of ihe Sandwica Islands by a British naval com- mander, and 1o recognize them by treaty as an indeperident state, renouncivg forever any Ppurpose of annexing the islanas or exerting a Droteciorate over them. 10 1851 the cession of the Hawalian King- dom to the United States was formally offered, and although not then sccepted this Govern. ment prociaimed its duty to be 10 preserve alike the honor and dignity of the United States and the saiety of the Government of the Hawai:an [slands. WFrom this time until the ontbreak of the war in 1861 the policy of the United Siates toward Hawaii and_the Hawailan sovercign toward the United States was exempiified by coutin- ued negotiations for sannexation or for a re. served commerc:al union. The latter altern tve was at reciprocity ireaty of 1875, the provisions of which were rencwed and expanded hy the convention of 1884, embracing the perpetual cession to the United States of the harbor of Pear!

IHURSTON, Seall WILLIAN A. KINNEY. e REPURT UF SHERMAN, The Becretary of State Recicws the Ne- gotiations for Annexation. WASHINGTON, D. C.,, June 17.—Ac- companying the message and treaty was the following report from Secretary Sher- man: 7To the President: The undersigned, Secretary of Siate, has the honor io lay before the Pres- ident for submission to the Seuate, stould it De deemed for the public interest todu 5o, a treat~ signed in the city of Washington on the 16th {nst. by the undersigned and by the du v empowered representative of the Repub- lic of Hawaii, whereuy the isiands constituting the said republic of Hawail, and ail their ge- pendencies, are_fully ceded (o the United States forever. It now seems necessary (o the present purpose of tne undersigned to review the incident of 1898, when & similar treaty of cession wes sigued on February 14 and sub- mitted to the Senate, being snbsequently with. | drawn by tne President on the 9th of Marci foliowing. The negotiation which has culminated in the treaty now submitted has not been A mere resumption of the negotia ions of 1893, but was nitiated and has been conducted tipon a ffercnt Jines. Then an abrupt revolutiounrs movement had brought about the dethrone. mentol the late Queen and set up iustead of the heretofore titulary monarchy a provis unal | Government for the control aud management of the public affairs and the protection of the public peace, such Governm:nt to exist only until terms of union with the United States shall have been negotiated and agreed upon, Thus self-coustituted, its promoters claimned for itonly a_de facto existence until the pur- pose of anuexation in which it took rise snould be accomplished. As time pas ed and toe plan of union with tite United States became an uncertain con- tingency the orzanization of the Hawaiian commo weaith underwent necessary changes; tne temporary character of its first Govern. ment gave place 10 & permanent scheme s der a_cous itution framed by the representatives | of the electors of the isiand; administration by an executive council not chosen by suf: frace, but sclf appotnted, was succeeded by an elective and parliamentary regime and the 8bLIIY of the new Government to hold, as (he repubiic of Hawaii, an independent place in the family of soveréign States, preserving or: der at oome aud fulfliing iaternational the Event of | public, Government or crown lands, pubiic | equipments ana all other pubiic pioperty of | fnto the political | every kind and description beionging o the | 3 i part thereol as may be used or oceupied for | Stewart, Teller, Thurs- | } sain | of. ‘obligations abroad, hasbeen put to the proot. of the easth, se Recognized by the powers of t! it tugand recelying envoys, enforcing respery fof the law and maintaining pesce Wwithf o island borders, Hawaii sends to the Unlied Staics nov a commission representing a CUCH cessful revolution, but the accredited plen’ potentiary of a eonstituted and firmiy esteb: lished sovereign Siate. However sufficiont may have been the authority of the Comumis sioners with whom the United States \Jo\efll' 2 ment treated in 1893, and powever satisfie the President may tien have been of iheir power to offer the domain of the Hawalian Islands to the United Siates, the act remains that what they then tendered was s territory. rather than an established Government, & country whose administration had been Ccast down by & bloodless but a complete revolution and a community in 8 state of political tran- sition. Now, however, the republic of Hawali ap- proaches the Unitéd States a= an equal and points for its authority to that provision of Artcie XXXIT of the constitution promul- eated July 24, 1894: “The President, with the Appravul of the Cabinel, is hereby expressly authorized and empowered to make a treaty of po.itical or commercial union between ihe Tepublic of Hawaii and the United States of America subject to the ratification of the Senate.” The present negotiation is, therefore, as has Deen taid, not & mere renewal of the tender of the Hawaiian territory made in 1893, but has responded to the purpose declared in the Hawaiian constitution, and the conferences of the plenipotentiaries have been i} rected to weighing the advantages of the political and the commercial union alter- uative proposed here, relatively considering the scope and extent thereof. It soon ap peared to the negotiators that a purely com- mercial union on the lines of the German zoll- verein could not satisfy the problems of the administration between the isiands and the United States. Such & commercial union would, on the one hand, deprive the Hewailan Government of its chief source of revenue from customs du- ties by placiug its territory in a relation of free exchange with the territory of the United States, its main market of purchase and sup- ply, while on the other band 1t would entail upon Hawaii the maintenance of an internal Tevenue system on & par with thatof the Uniled States or else involve the organization of 8 corresponding branch of our reveue service within a foreign jurisdiction. We e had with liawali since 1875 a treaty of commercial union which practically assimiiaies the Lwo territories with regard (o many of their most {mportant productions end exciudes other nations irom enjovment of its privileges, yet, although that treaty bas outlived other less fuvored reciprocii schemes, its permanency has at times been gravely imperiled. Under such circumstances, toenier upon the radical experiment of & complete commercial union betwesn Hawaii and the United States as independently sove reign, without assurance of permanency and witn perpetual subjection to the vicissiiudes of public sentimeni in the two couutries, was not to be thought of. Turning then to the various practical forms of political union, the several phases of a | protectorate, an offensive and defensive alli- | ance and a national guarantee were passed in review. Inall of these the independencs of the subordinated State is the cistinguishing feature, and with it the assumptivn by the paramount State of respomsibility without domain. The disparity of the relaiive inter- ests and the distances separating the Lwo countries could not fail to render any form of protective associstion either unduly burden- some or 1liusory in its benefits, so far as the proteciing State is concerned, while any at. tempt to countersct tributary de- pendence of & measure toward = fe 1 or colonial establishment is alike inexpedient and incompatibie with our National policy. There remained, therefore, the annexation of the islands and their complete absorption ystem of the United States as the oniy solution satisfying all the given | conditions and promising permunzuncy and | mutual benefit. Tue present treaty has been framed on this basis, thus substantially re- vertiug to the original proposel of 1893, and | necessarily accepting many of the features of | that arrangement. “As to most ol these the | | negotiators have been constrained snd lim. | | ite 1 Ly the counstitutional powers of the Gov- | ernm toft Uuited States. As in previous instances, wher the United States has acquired territory by treaty, it has | been necessary to reserve ail the organic pro- | visions for the action of Congress. 1f this was | r_quisite in the case of the transfer to the | | United States of a part of the domain of titu. | lar sovereign as in the sion of Louisiana by France, o1 Florida by Spsin or of Alaska by Russia, it is more requisite waen the act is | not cession, but union, invo.ving the complete incorporation of an alien sovereignty into the body politic of the United States. For this | the only precedent of our political history is found in the uncompicted treaty concluded during President Grant's admin'stration, No- vember 29, 1869, for the annexation of the Dominican republic to the United States. Following that example, the ireaty now | | signed by the plenipotentiaries of the United ‘Slatcsandvhg Hawaiian Kepublic leaves to the Congress of the United Siates the determi- | nation of all questions aff-ciing the form of | | government of the annexed territory, the cii | zenship and elective franchise of {13 inhak tants, and the manner in which laws of tae | | United States are to be extended (o theislands. JOHN SHERMAN, — Germany Not Concermed. BERLIN, GerMANY, June 17.—The pub- lic here displays no concern in the matte of the proposed annexation of Hawaii. A | section of the press advises Great Britain and Germany to arrive at a speedy acree- | ment to prevent the United States from | taking similar action regarding Samoa. The Post, probably voicing the official view in the matter, says: *“We have no occasion to interfere by protest or other- wise.” DROWNED WHILE BOATING.
