Epectal Dispa THE CALL ch to LOS ANGE Nov. 19.—The people of Los Angeles—and they voiced the senti- ment of all Southern Californis—gathered meeting to-night and sent fortn a hteous protest, based upon good, sound, logical and patriotic reasons, against the proposed annexation of the Hawaiian Islands to the United States. The meet- ngeles Count This body represents 5000 organized wor ingmen. After considerable study and discussion in its own ranks the members | of the council some time ago unani- mously adopted a resolution opposing nexation, upon the ground that the crea- tion of 100, ) undesirable American cit zens couid not help but result in a disad- vantage to the American laborer, who was already burdened by exisiing condi- ti Then it was resolved to hold a public voice the sentiment of the people generally t question.

Mr. Martens then troduced the first speaker of the evening, Cyren E. Fis the State organizer of the Typographbical Union and a delegate to he Council of Lavor. M Fisk is a young man, a very cle ver puviic sy er and well known in the rarks of organized labor. He madea ten-minute aadress, in which he took oc- casion to explain the grounds upon which organized abor wa: oppo-ing annexation. He said that, in bis opiniou, the laboring men of the country as a whole were not sufficiently aroused to the importance of protesting against the adoption of the poliey, which they couid not view as otherwise o inimical 1o their interests and to the best interests of their country. Mr. Fisg’s remarks and the excerpts he read from President Gompers' stalement were received with applause. Chairman Martens then introduced ex- Governor Lionel A. Sheldon, who was given a cordial weicome by the audience. Governor Sheidon deliverea an able and impressive aduress, in which he ook oc- casion to review the policy of the Amer- ican republic in ihe matter of the acquisi- tion of territory, from the time of Jeffer- son to the present day. He showed that it never had been the policy of this Government to scquire any deiached islands; that the Louisiana and Alaska purchases had been made for the purpose of acquiring continental autono- omy. The Governor exnlained what the annexation of Hawaii, 2000 miles from the shores of the United States, meant in the way of expense to retain and protect it as a vertion of Federal ierritory. He dweit upon the fact that the population, save 3000 souls, that would be taken in was made up of people who were totaliy ig- norant of the duties of citizenship, and he explained how diflicult it would be to govern those people, inasmuch as they did not know how to govern themseives. The Governor's remarks were enthusias- ticaliy applanded. The cua.rman then introduced the prin- cipalspeaker of tne evening M.

This money would have the United States. They teli us that it would be a great depot for our commerce and that it is righton the track of the Asiatic trade. In this instanee our riends on the oth tcircle on the high seas from San Francisco 1o Yokohama and Hongkong is about 4500 miles long.

One of my Sen- atorial colleagues who recently returned jrom the isiands was telling wbout the wonderful things that grew there. And I told bim yes, I guessed that it was so, but tuat if he had gone further south to Samoa, he could have seen a fruit iree growing in ail its splendor. On tne trunk of the tree was a human being and on tae end of one ol the iimbs was & monkey, Hon. Btephen | and they were both engaged in eating the same fruit, in the same way, from the same tree. This, 1 told the Senator, was & isir ayerage oi citizenship of many of the islands of the tropics.

Fetlow-citizens, 1 now introduce to you ‘the noblest Koman of them ali,’ 2 man who may, and whom we sincerely hope will, some day be Presi- dent oi the United States—Stephen M. White.” As Senator White arose and came to the front of the platiorm he received a wel- come which was certainly enthusiastic and proionged. It was several moments before the applause subsided. When it dii the Senator opened an address which con:umed an hour oi time and which was lisiened to with the ciotest attention. He spoke in an earnest vein, introducing facts and fizures to bear up his argument and indulging in some humor and cutting sarcasm. In the main the Senator said: 1 take it, my friends, that are gathered here this Cvening for no spectacular purpose, but ratner to cousiier inteiligentiy and care- fully a question which is certainly of vast im- poriance o our country. Upon this question it has been my lot to iake a posi iou which docs not meet with the indorsement of all my irlends. However, the position 1 have taken is based upon my honest opinion, and that I x«ve T been ready to express atall tim:s. I have always tried 10 do &nd to act independently, and when finally my friends gaiher around on night, but it is nevertueless true, and in my judgment, while you and Ilive no republic wili ever live in iLe regions adjacent to ihe equator. Tuey tell us that when the annexation is eftected millions ot dollars will come into the country. Well, why have they not come in beioreY Why is annexatiou essential to the briuging in of this weaith? It is true that the islanas are rich, but the wealth that is cre- ated and developed there passes 1o a few. Suppose we have, say, fifty men in San Fran- cisco who acquire great wealth in Hawail. We want that mouey brought here, of course, and we will certainly iTy toget some of it, but ax- nexation will not bring it toan extent greaier than it is being brought to-day. Congress now—foolishly in my judgment— pe:mits Hawaii tosend its sngar to the United States free of duty. I think that itisa bad business, but for argument's sake we will say that it 15 ali right to bring in thelr prod free of duty, butwe will ask them for heaven's sake to keep their Chinese iriends at home. [Laughter and applause.] No, we don’t want their Chinese associntes on the sugar p antaiions as citizens of the United Siaies. Tne folly of the statement that if we do not annex the isiands we will lose their trade is 100 apparent (0 ueed any contradiction. It slands to reason that the inhabitants of the islands are going to trade in San Francisco as long as it is 1o their inter- est financialiy to do so. They are not going elsewhere untilit is 1o their interest from & money standpoint.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19—A Washington special snys: Attorney-General McKenna has aow under consideration the advisa- bility of qualifyingin behalfof the Govern- ment as u bidder at the sale of the Kansas Pacitic Railroad on D:cember 15. The purpose is to compel successful bidders to pay the full amount of the Government claim against the road. Efforts are being made to convince the administration that the reorganization | committee that bought the Unlon Pacific is indifferent about obtaining the Kansas Pacific. The purpose of these efforts is to secure for the committee the ovportunity to recoup itself for the extra price paia for the Union Pacific. Senator Harris of Kansas, who has recently consulted with the Attorney- General and President about the matter, believes the reorpanization committee must bid in the Kansas Pacific, and will pay the Government's price if compelled to doso by competition. Attorncv-General McKenna takes the same view. The in- dicutions are that the Kan-as Pacific wili bring a price equal to the Government claim. S gt Dr. Jordan Wormly Grested.

RESILT OF A GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY Attempt on President Moraes’ Life Headed by High Officers. SOME REVELATIONS MADE. Names of the Prominent Men Engaged in the Plot All Given. SOLDIER MELLO HAS NOW CONFESSED. Brazlilan Naval Officials Connected With the Last Revolutlon Are Pardoned. Copyright, 1897, by James Gordon Bennett. BUENOS AYRES, Nov. 19.—Further discoveries made by the police, coupled with the written confession by Mcllo, the soldier who tried to kill President Moraes, says the Herald’s corre-pondent in Rio Janeiro, Brazil, leave no doubt that the attempt on the President's life was the result of a gigantic conspiracy, headed by many men who held high oftices under the Government. The revelations made by Mello are highly important. He gives the names of many offic:als who were in the plot, though these names are carefully with- held. Beveral more arrests have been made and all the prisoners keptin close confinement. Among the last to be arrested is Deputy Jose Mariano. In re- ply to a question from Deputy Serzedello Correia as to why members of the Cham- ber of Deputies were arrested before mar- tial law was established, the Minister ot Justice hassent a note to the President of the Chamber stating that the Govern- ment cannot give an explanativn until after the trials of thote arrested as con- spirators. Senor Manuel Estre!la, a nephew of the Governor of Bahia, who was arrested in connection with the conspiracy, com- mitte suicide yesterday in prison. The Brazilian naval officials who during the iast revolution joined the insurgents huve been pardoned, and have returned to the service. They called on and person- ally thanked Piesident Moraes for his clemency. S-nators and Deputies of the opposition partv will meet on Sunday. They may decide 10 refuse to take part in the delib- erations of Congress because of the arrest of several of their number. Great discontent is manifested by Jaco- bins. Many of them may join the new Republican party now being organ zed by those officials who took pariin the rebel- lion, an¢ who have been pardoned. The candidate of this party for President wiil probably be Senor Julio Castelios, Gov- ernor of Rio Grande.

Reported €hooting of the Minlister of the Interior Increases the Panic at the Capltal. Copyrighted, 1£97, by James Gordon Bennett. BUENOS AYRES, Nov. 19.—The Her- ald's correspondent in Monievideo, Uruguay, telegraphs: It is rumored, and the rumor can be easily traced to high sources, that Presiaent ad interim, Senor Cuestas, intends to establish a dictator- ship. He has taken upon himself extra- ordinary powers to prevent a rebeilion, and Montevideo is practically under mar- tial law. Under the President’s order, troops have occupied all the strategic points of the city, and excitemen: is intense. Can- non have been run into positions over- lookinz the Plaza de Armas, to prevent the gathering of crowds there, and troops are now on guard all over the city. In the meantime President Cuestas has placed a strong guard around the block in whic is situated the home of Senor Jalio Herrera, and Senor Herrera is a prisoner. He is Senor Cuestas’ principal opponent in the race for President, and it is be- | lieved he is at the head of the movement which hay for its purpo-e the overthrow of Cuestas by force. 1Itisto prevent such | a movement that President Cuestas has taken radical steps. In addition to these measures of pro- caution, Colonel Echevarria, commander ot the Fourth Battalion of Infantry, xho is said to be associated with Senor Herrera, has been placed under arrest. It is believed that he intended to deliver h's men over to the conspiraters, and the battalion has been ordered to remain in its quarters. Panic reigns in the city. The military preparations have added ‘o the feeling of fear, and hundreds of citizens bave closed and locked their houses. President Cuestas yesterday published his acceptance of the nomination for President. This was seized upon by Senor Herrera to besin active work against Cuestas, although the acceptance created a good impression generally. In it Senor Cuestas declared that if elected he would resign the moment he should lose the confidence of the people.
