The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, October 3, 1897, Page 2

2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1897 of the United States.. That these people will be driven out and high-priced Ameri- can labor employed Is absolute nonsense. An Hawaiian planter, who is anxions for the ratification of the treaty, informed me recently that unless the United States continued to relieve the islands from the burden of paying duty on sugar the pro- ducers would be compelled to retain -the servile element, but that if the treaty re- mained in force Americans would be em- ployed at good wages, This progrémme has been changed and we are now told: that if there is to be high-priced labor &n- nexation must be accomplished. The addition of nearly 50,000 “Asiatic’ coolies to the population of this country is a highly interesting anticipation. Their pretended éxclusion from the rest of the couniry is a‘deception. Mr. Stevéns, who was the most urgent of. annexationists, and wioin my jadgment. brought about the overthrow of Liliuokaizni, says in.bhis Jetter written to Mr. Foster, November 20, 1892: ‘At the present price of sugarand the prices likely to “hold 1n.the future, sugar-raising in thesé islands cen -be con- titued only by - the cheapest pos:ible labor—that of the Japanese, the .Chinese and the Indian cool No doubt "Mr. Stevens was right, but he adds that if the < islandsare Americar nas, etc:, ¢ i, ors lemons, ised- profitably. I am told by Hawanan planters that this stutement is incorrect. Itwould seem un- likely that any important source of profit bas been so lonz overludked. There is clearly nothing in annexation ‘for our laborers. We often hear that the United States ought to reach out and take in other countries. The issue thus raised opens a broad field of disputation into which I do not propose now to enter, further than to say that from Mr. Jefferson, ‘whose words upon this subject have been often guoted, 10 a very late d the policy and the teachings of our ablest statesmen have been against the scquisition of any terri- tory requiritg a navy to defend ‘it. The idea of becoming strong by acquiring something to protect is a novel We are asked to annex the islands because they are too weak to live, and yet we are 10id that their annexation will add to our strength. But I object to annexation upon other grounds. While (here are many earnest and honorable men who favor this step, still viewing the matter from my stand- voint, I regard the present proposition as intensely dishonest. There.are not above 000 -American males on these-islands. These people, as I believe, through the nstrumentality of Mr. Stevens and under the American flag, drove the former Gov- ernment from power and seized upon the country. They call their establishmenta repuplic. This is a misnomer.. No one has any voice in the Government except those who swear allegiance to the oli- garchy. No one else voted on the constitu- tion. There are hardly any of the natives who cannotreaa and write, yet'they are dis- franchised. They are not consalted as to this cession of their territory, or as to anything. Itis proposed that the United States shall be a party to this open and valpable effort to deprive innocent people of their inherent privileges, Whaile they are not an ageressive peo- ple, they are nevertheless far from being savages. A member oi the Dole establish- ment very recently said that unlessan- nexation was had the Hawaiian republic could not maintain itself. If this is trae, it meaps that the Hawaiians will take the matter into theirown hands. . There is no danger from any outside source. It is the business of the present rulers to manu- facture siories ot foreign attack. The truth is that Mr. Dole and his ezssociates know that they iepresent 2 per cent-of the people of the islands and that the other 98 per cent will some time or other assume authority. This fear permeates the language of the proposed treaty. 1t is not designed to make the islands an or- dinary Territory or State, for in that event it might be difficult to prevent the natives voting. 1f the natives are allowed this right there isnot a man connected with the present management who would be permitted to bold any place. Itisa plain case of the minority manazing the busi- ness of the majority. Something has been saia with reference to the fact that the California Legisiature in 1893 passed a resolution favoring an- nexation, A number of the members of t Legisiaiure have told me, and I have 1o doubt with entire accuracy, that they paid buj little atiention to the subject, and that the resolution went through without particular reflection. But 1f our Lecisiature’s opinion has any bearing upon this subject it is only advisory. We find that a smilar and later resolution, which had pussed the Assembly 1n 1895, was defeated in the Seuate by the follow- ing significant vote: Ayes—Senators Beard, Franck, Henderson, Orr, Pedlar, Shine, Simpson, Voorhees and Withing- ton—9. Noes—Senators Arms, Androus, Bert, Burke, Denison, Dunn, Fay, Flint, Gesford, Gleaves, Hart, Holloway, Ma- honey, Martin, Mathews, McAllister, Mc- Gowan, Seawell, Seymour, Shippee, Toner and Whitehurst It wilt be noted that not a single Demo- crat voted in the affirmative, and that the negative votes, as far as politics are con- cerned, were about evenly divided. There- fore the Lecislature of 1895 declined to favor annexation. {mention this because 1 bave not observed any reference to the vote which I have just quoted. As far as I am personally concer.ed, my views be- ing that the carrying out of the proposed annexation woulc be not only- impolitic, but also dishonorable and dishonest, I do not intend to support thé project. In matters involving principle I shall al- Ways vote as my conscience dictates, Te- gardless of the opinions of others, and such has always been the rule in the body of which I have the honor'to be a member. Itisprobable that we wiil hear many canards before the final determina- tion of thisissue.. Newspapers in sensa- tional headlines wiil anrounce that there is danger from some imaginary foe. But 1t is certain that the sibject - will be cares fully examined. I am satisfied thata large mejority of the Democratic Senators will oppose annexation. -~ Many Repub- licans will support it as a duty to a party policy TN SR FOUL PLAY FEAKED.

Discussed the Approaching Wedding and Parted the Best of Friends. The Fair Defendant Relates an In- teresting Story While on the Witness-Stand. LEWISTON, Mg, Oct. 2.—The evidencs in the Meicher-Hadley case is all in, and the arguments wili be heard Monday. The fair defendant was on the stand most most of the forenoon to-day. Her testi- mony was in-substanice that while there had been an engagement, yet no time for the wedding had been set; that Melcher had given her presents, part of which she had returned; that she understood they were to be married and 1o live at Mr. Melcher's house, which house was to be furnished at the expense of botb; that the engagement was broken a week prior tothe Friday evening when she made the matrimenizal alliance with Mr. Hadley; that Melcher knew of her promise to marry Mr. Hadley,ard that he congratu- lated her and wisned her all future bap- piness in her Western home. Her ap- proeching wedding was discuss:d freely, and - Mr. Melcher understood it thor- oughly, and he said in parting: “Well, Louise, we part the besi of friends.” 8he invited Mr. Melcher to drive her out that last evening, but when he came sho wished to haye & conversation with another gentleman, and excused herseif for twenty minutes. When Mr. Melcher called again'she asked him to put up his | horse and come in, and he did so. - This was the night they parted *“‘the best of friends,” which was the Friday evening before the departure for Boston on Sun- day to arrange for the wedding with Mr. Hadley. "Mr. Hadley had a conversation { with her father that Friday evening. Hon. J. Dingtey, fatier of Mrs. Hadley, was the next witness. He denied em- phatically several important statements made by Mr. Melcher in regard to conver- sations with him. He never gave his con- sent to his daughter’s marriage to Mr. Melcher. Witness stated tnat Mr. Meleuer said that he was afraid Louise had made a mistake in going to California. Everything Mr. Melcher said seemed to indicate that the ‘marriage contract be- tween himself and his daughter had been canceled some little time before. At the afternoon session Mr. Melcher was called in rebuttal. He denied- many of the im- portant statements of the deiendant and her princ.pal witnesses and affirmed his own statements. Mrs. Hadley was called and denied the statements of Mrs. Berry and otners, The first witness this forenoon, Mrs. J. Dingley, mother of Mrs. Hadiey, tes tified positively “that there had Leen no correspondence with her daughter during her engagement with Mr. Melcher, but that she had met Mr. Hadley several years before. She was present the even- ing of the parting between her daughter and Mr. Melc-er. - Mr. Meicher did not embrace or kiss her aaughter; he simply shook hands and said, **Louise, we shall continue to he good friends.” The message Mr. Melcher gave to. the witness on the train on the way to Boston just prior to the Hadley marriage was, “Tell Louise that it is ail right between us.”’ Here is a saccharine morsel from one of Mr. Melcher's letters to Miss Dingley: “How I would like to see my sweetheart just now and give her a good hugging and lots of kisses, and 1 know that she would respond with as many_in return as I could give. What do you s&y . to that, my love? Ithink it is rather .too bad thatyou are having such ‘2 bad iime with your ankle, and I would like to hathe :nd bandage it for you. I well know that I could do you good and help the ankle some, don’t you think?. Much love and many kisses for you, sweet one.” TROUBLE IN KOREAN CIRCLES Minister Pom Ye Chin Refused to Attend the Funeral of His Predecessor. NEW YORK, N. Y.; Oct. 2—A special from Washington says: The members of the Corean colony here insist that the vresent Mirister, Pom Ye Chin, will soon .| be recalled. ‘His conduct of the legation is being investigated, and when certain formalities are complied with he will be peremptorily summoned home. The main reason for the recall is said to be his refusal to attend the funeral ser. vices' of his predecessor in office, Pom Kwang Soh.: His absence from this func- tion 1s Tegarded asa gross disrespect to the memory of his ijllustrious country- man and to the King of Korea, who was represented at these ceremonies by his second . son, Prince Eiu Wha, and by Prince Min, special erabassador to the Queen’s jubilce, and a relative of the late Qaeen of Korea. Pom Ye Chin’s explanation of his ab- sence is that he disapproved of the cre- mation of Mr. Soh’s body, and he did not wish to seem to sanction by his presence the divorce: pronounced between the King and Queen of Korea, which decree Mr. Soh signed in his capacity as Minister of Justice. But those who know say his-hatred and jealousy of his predecessor were the only reasons. This explanation is. made by the local society of theosovbis.s, of which Mr. Soh was a member. The Minister also refused to lend a Korean flag to drape the coffin. it e Stanford's Freshman Elev-n Boat PALO ALTO, CaL., Oct. 2—The Young Men’s Christian Association football team of San Francisco added another to its long list of victories by defeating the freshman ‘eleven here this afternoon by a score of 6 10 4 Thefreshmen played a good game, but were outclassed in ‘team work. Toward the end of the first half a star run by Manly carried the bail to within a few yards of the. goal line, whence the freshmen easily bucked it over. The vis- iting tea™ put up a good exhibition of football and earned most of the gains by pluck and skillful work. : ————— a Fictory for Yale.

A, C. A. C. Kraenzlein, C. S S e, DETROIT BICYCLE RACES. Half-Dozen Star Kiders Badly Mized Up in a iall. DETROIT, Mica, Oct. 2.—To-day’s na- tional bicycle races wound up with a half- dozen of the fastest of the racing stars badly spilled along the track. Just after the last eighth mile of the final event of the day, the two mile open profes- sional, was reached, Tom Cooper's wheel strock that of Butler, who was just ahead. Butler and Cooper were badly thrown and Buld, Mertens and Kiser tuwbled over them ih a bad mix up. Mertens’ right side was painfully iujured by a heavy fall upon Cooper’s handle bar. The St. Faul man lay upon the ground for some time before he was able to be assisted to the training quarters. However, his injury is not expected to prove permanent. Bald received a bard blow in the side and all had a severe sbaking up. The weather was fine and over 2000 spectators were present. There was no loafing and little jockey- ing in the final of the two-mile profes- sional. Loughead led by the first mile with Mertens and Butler close up. Cooper, Bald, Butler and Kiser went out successfully for the lead and very nearly got it. Then came the accident giving Loughead the race, which he was in & fair way of winnine. The other professional event was the one mille, 2:05 ciass. Ouly a few of the leading flyers started in this race. The three preliminary heats were won by Tay- lor, Hoyt and Brown. Hoyt did some rall sprinting on the third quarter, but Dr. Brown was the active man of the party at the end. ard finished first in hot tussle with But.er. ‘Wood and Carison, ateurs, went a mile on a tandem in beating the world’s amateur record and equaling the prolessional tandem record.

The Canadian mail by way of Dyea is expected out in about two weeks. Returning Klondikers are expected in Juneau to the extent of two or three par- ties per week during the fall and winter. There are no additional particulars of the flood in the Chilkoot Canyon. Si At- well of Seattle, who came down from Dyea yesterday, says that the only man killed was Choynski. His partner, Fiynn, escaped death, though badly hart. It is said at Sheep Camp that Dr. Smith and wife of Seattle had gone to the summit the day before, and though no one at Sheep Camp has seen them since the flood they are believed to be alive. Packers are returning on every boat from Dyea and Skaguay, and packing is practically over for the season. This means wiuter quarters where they are for | all on the trails who have not started down the river. The principal bridges on both trails are said to have been washed away, and crossing the swollen torrents is a very dangerous undertaking. On the Dyea trail campers going into winter quarters are still huating for their property and finding stores, bedding and bacon from a haif to a mile down the can- yon from Sheep Camp, where it was dropped by the tidal wave which broke loose from the glacier. A townsite has been laid out at Dyea by | United States Commissioner Smith back in the timber. The wire for the cable tramway over the Chilkoot Pass has ar- rived on the ground. Har HorFMAN. Tt oo ON THE FARALLON. The Steamer Brings 110 Returning | Prospectors, Some of Whom Come Direct From Bawson. SEATTLE, Wasm., Oct. 2.—The steamer Faralion arrived . bere this morning from Skaguay, Alaska. The Faralion bad on board 110 rsurning. prospectors. Among the number was.Louis Lang, direct from Datwson City, which place he left Aagust 26, coming out on the Dalton. traii. He stopped at Juneau. In an interview Lang said: ‘‘When 1 left Dawson the stores had stopped selling supplies, and restaurants had closed be- cause they could ge: nothing to cook. I believe that provisions will be scarce, al- though many of the miners are leaving. In my opinion there will be 200 or 300 come out over the Dalton trail within the next few weeks, while a great many others are going down by Si. Michael. It was a great mistake in the :rading companies- to: bring so much whisky up the river instead of supplies. Beiore we left Dawson nine beef cattle were driven in and four. of them were butchered. Choice cuts brought $1 50 per pound, whiie the soun bone was worth 50 cents.” 1 paid $1 and $1 25 for elk meat. ‘‘As we wanted to get out as quickiy as possible 1 brought but very few provis- ions, ‘the entire pack of each man, blankets' and all, weighing about sixty pounds. - We came up the river to Five Fingers and then out over the Dalton trail. . Weé crossed the sammit on Septem- ber 21, in a snowstorm, and . had Indian guides to show us the way. We had to wade knee deep in the snow. ““We met the Sharp party twenty miles this side of the summit with their caitle, and it seemed to medoubtfal whether they would get in. It took us justtwenty- seven days to get down to tidewater.” Another passenger on the Farallon was Henry Bratnober, a mining exnert, who is the confidential man of the London Exploring Company, which 1s controlled by the Rothschilds. He has been over the Yukon diggings, going .in and returning over the Dalton trail. He. undoubtedly thinks well of the country. Others on board were Lieutenant S. L. Adair, Fifth United States Cavalry; Colo- nel G. G. Darrow, formerly a- prominent capitalist of Denver, but now living. at Montpelier; Ind.; A. Lambetb, a weaithy mining man of Helena; 0. D. Colvin and T. A. Garrett of this city. Mr. Garrett reached the summit of White Pass, with bis partzer, a man. named McArthur. There they decided that they could ges in provisions for only one man and tossed up to see . who should push ahead. Gar- rett lost and came back to Seattle. Heex- pects 0 try it again next Spring.

From Valdes the passage is over a dead elacier which is readily traversed most of the vear. Dr. Allen says that if a railroad is reasi- ble from any point in Alaska to the Yukon, itis by the Valdes route from Prince William Sound. On_ September 11, the mail steamer Dora landed at Orea a party of tifteen prospectors from San Diego, Cal, and vicinity. The party was headed by ex-Sheriff O'Neil of San Luis Ovbisno County. They haa twenty tons of provisions, and expect to spend two vears investigating the Copper River. They were determined to attempt the ~scent of Copper R:ver from its mouth despiie the advice of men cognizant of the difficulties, and-expected to build boats. when there was not a stick of timber within ten miles of the place where they desired to be landed is a question hard to solve. Captain Humphrey realized the plight they would be in and when he saw that th2y cculd not be restrained from theéir plan cave ‘them an oid seine boat that will hotd the entire party. They were advised to winter at Fidalgo and then pass over the glacier to the Copper River above the rapids and the canyon. John: R.
