Says Statehood May Only Be Desired When Some Political Party Clamors for It. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—A Washin, ton dispatch to the Commercial Adver- | tiser says: Senator Davis, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, said to-day that the Hawaiian treaty would be called up in executive session immediately after Congress meets. Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama was asked by the Commercial Adve tiser correspondent to-day whether, in his opinion, the fear that Hawaii be made a State was not the most important objection to the an- nexation of the islands. He replied: The only persons in Hawaii that I have heard of who des atehood far Hawaii are some e leading Portu- guese. 1 have heard of but few peopie in the United States who advoc statehood for Hawaii, while the tre makes no provision looking to hood. I know that the leaders of the annexation of Hawaii are not in favor of statehcod now or for to come, if ever. We seem to be in no hurry to make State of territories acquired from Mexico, although our treaties with that republic expressly provide for their ear! admission as States. t the present time and for a long ears most li d for Hawaii is tract and will not be ignificance for man series of of stateh the question I do not care to make any DPrognosti- cation as to a matter that is so far in tatehood in Hawaii, where ired by Hawaiians and will only be desired here, as in the case of Arizona or Alaska, when some politi- cal party n wish to exploit such a movement for mere party advantage.” Morgan undoubtedly repre- completely the leade atior for Haw and hi ment, therefore, is a reflection of what other friends of the treaty think upon this point. The objection that Sena- | tor Hoar is said to have held to the | treaty is that, while it makes no pro- | vision for statehood, now, or at a fu- ture time, it makes no provision against it. Speaker Reed’s objections are exac v the same, and both Senator Hoar and Mr. Reed fear exactly what Sena- tor Morgan pass: over lightly—that some political party will agitate such a step for mere party advantage. There has been an impression in Washington that friends of annexation | uld oppose any movement towards letting Hawa in with the provision that the islands remain a Territory. How this can be accomplished, as be- fore stated in these dispatches, with- out violating the constitution remains to be settled. FLEETS OF JAPAN ARE LINING UP.

Killed His Mistress, Will Now Follow His Father to the Gallows. KANSAS CITY, Dec. 28.—A crowd of men and boys chased a negro murder- er through the business section of Kansas City to-day, running him cover in a pile of dry goods boxes. The negro, James Reed, fired four bul- into the body of his mistress, 1sie Blakeley, of whom he was jeal- ous, killing her instantly. The shoot- | ing occurred at Twelfth and Cherry streets, and as the murderer ran out of the house the cry of murder was raised by men on the street, who be- gan the chase, and soon several hun- dred men and boys had joined in the pursuit. When the murderer was cap- tured he was hurried off to the police station. James Reed is the son of Martin Reed, who was hanged in Kan- sas City six years ago for the murder of his wife, James Reed’s mother. e MODERNIZING FORTIFICATIONS AT THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR. Plans for the Absolute Protection of a Vast British Fleet Under the Guns of the Fortress. WASHINGTON, Dec. received at the Navy Department in- dicate that the British Government is pushing the work of modernizing the great fortifications at the rock af Gib- raltar with all speed, and that not less than 5000 Spanish workingmen pass daily over the lines to and from their work on the fortifications. A large number of the heaviest pieces of artillery are being put in place, a great dock is under construc- tion and the plan of defense permits of the absolute protection of a vast British fleet under the guns of the fortres Contrary to the policy pur- sued in some other British fortifica- tions, the soldiers in charge made no objection to an examination of the works by American naval officers and sailors and seemed rather proud of the strength of their position.

So It Is Apparent That the Chief Exee- utive Has Decided to Steer a Middle Course. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—A Washing- ton special to the Herald says: Sec- retary of the Treasury Gage will not resign. The President does not wish him to, and he will be allowed fuli swing in his fight before Congress for currency reform and the gold stand- ard. There has been no break between the | President and Senator Wolcott. They | understand each other perfectly, and | the Senator is fully satisfied with the position of the President. The President and Secretary | understand each other perfeetly, and position of the President. The posi- tions of the Secretary and the Senator are well understood and diametrically opposed to each other. What is the position of the President? Does he advocate the gold standard when he | talks to Secretary Gage? Does he ad- vocate international bimetallism when he talks to Senator Wolcott? The ans | wer to the questions furnished by hi message seem to indicate that he is | steering a middle course between the two policies. He invited a careful consideration by Congress of Secretary Gage's resolutions, and he spoke hope- fully of an international agreement. The President does not propose to take any stand that will divide his | party, and he evidently hopes to hold | both sides inside party lines. There | is little doubt that Secretary Gage | has let the President understand that if his presence in the Cabinet with his pronounced views in favor of the single gold standard was in any way | embarrassing to the President or his administration he would gladly re- sign, and that the President on his | part gave the Secretary to understand | | that he would not even discuss the W_e are very near to the arrival of Sprini; Goods.

It is | reportd here to-day that the Presi- | dent and Secretary tailked the matter | over before the Cabinet meeting last Friday, that the Secretary called the | attention of the President to criti- cisms which were being made of him and the charges that he was disrupt- ing the Republican party by bringing | the gold standard issue to the front at this time, that he stated frankly | he did not wish to embarrass the President and would give up his place | in the Cabinet at any time and that | the President felt that he was an em- | barrassment, and that the President assured him there was no embarrass- ment, but that, on the other hand, the President fully approved of his course President McKinley authorizes to- day an emphatic denial of the story that there hadtbeen any such conversa- tion between himself and the Secretary, and also authorized the statement that there was no friction whatever between them. As the matter now stands the Secretary of the Treasury will draw on himself personally the criticism of ad- | vocates of international bimetallism, and it is expected that Wolcott will at- | tack him in the Senate for the course | he has pursued and will present his hope of an international agreement being ultimately arrived at in the strongest possible light, making much of the favorable attitude of France and of the encouragement given to envoys by prominent men in England. It is not probable that he will succeed in making many converts to his idea by | his speech, and the support which he keep alive the discussion and give the Republicans an excuse for failing to measure looking to a defi- nite establishment of the gold standard | contemplated by the measure drawn by Secretary Gage. In the meantime Secretary Gage will continte to do all in his power to bring about favorable Congressional action on his bill or a similar measure in- tended to remedy the worst defects in the present system. There never was much hope of the passage of such a bill during the present Congress, and the failure of the President and Secre- s the ta still more keystone of the Secre- plan is the refunding of bonds United States in payable especially in gold, and oppositi in Congress to putting word “gold” into the bonds is so ong as to make the effort practi- hopele: presentative Dingley said to-day | that while it was true the Government uld save $12,000,000 a year in interest bonds, the gress who would prefer to have the Government pay that $12,000,000 rather than authorize the insertion of the word “gold” in the bonds | WAS CHAPLAIN OF THE FAMOUS IRISH BRIGADE. | Death of Rev.

Calls a New Grand Jury and Appoints an Act- ing Attorney. Sheriff and County Commis- sioners to Be Included in the Investigation. ALL MAY BE IMPEACHED. | Peace Officers Scored for Not Having) Attempted to Thwart the Genoa Riot. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. GENOA, Nev., Dec. 28.—Judge Mack was in the saddle to-day, and not only the lynchers of Adam Uber, but the Sheriff and Commissioners of Douglas County are trembling in consequence. The Judge ordered a new Grand Jury drawn, appointed an acting District Attorney to replace the incumbent who has been lukewarm in his pursuit of the lynchers, and instituted an inves- tigation which may result in the im- peachment of several county officials Judge Mack drove in from Carson and at 11 o’clock court opened. On tak- ing the bench the Judge proceeded with the usual routine business, and then took up the lynching of Adam Uber, to inquire into the conduct of Sheriff Brockliss in allowing a prisoner to be taken from his hands, and to investi- gate the present Board of County Com- missioners which refused to offer a re- ward for the apprehension of the per- sons concerned in the lynching. He an- nounced that, as several members of the Grand Jury has signed a petition | remonstrating against the offering of a reward for the lynchers of Uber, he deemed it his duty to order a new Grand Jury drawn. The new Grand Jury will meet on the 12th of January. Vhe; e C called for District At- | et o When the Court called for Distr | Geooge. Adame WiHlan torney E. A. Nagle he was informed that Nagle was sick in Carson. “Will you act in his place, Mr. Tur- ner?” asked the Judge. The attorney addressed said that it would be impossible for him to act for the State, as he was situated so that he could not. He would say, however, that District Attorney Nagle had re- quested him to appear for him and make a motion that the Grand Jury be discharged for bias and a new Grand Jury drawn. The bias consist- ed in some of the members having signed a petition remonstrating against the offering of a reward for the lynch- ers. The Court then interrogated the | members of the Grand Jury and found four who had signed the remonstrance. They gave the following answers to his . C. Jepsen: ‘'l signed the paper un- der a misapprehension. I supposed it was to contradict the Courier’s state- ment that the lynchers came from Gardnerville.” Mr. Dressler knew what I w: “I signed the paper and s signing. I am_not qualified to serve on the Grand Jury, and have no business here, as I feel that State. Peter Jacobsen made the same reply. A. P. Squires: *“I signed the paper when it was read hastily to me, and when I learned more of its contents I regretted ning it, as T am not in sympathy with the contents of the pa- per, as 1 believe in law and order.” could not do Jjustice by the substantially The urt then appointed- Attorney D. W. Virgin to act until further no- tice. “Mr. Virgin, how long will you re- this case to the new y?"” asked the judge. “‘What are the matters to come be- fore the Grand Jury?” the lawyer in- terrogated. “In the first place, the lynching of Uber will be up for consideration,” re- plied the court. *“It will be the duty of the Grand Jury to probe it to the bottom. A very flagrant offense has been committed and the offenders should be brought to justice, and, if the evidence can be obtained, they should be indicted for murder. The conduct of the sheriff should be in- quired into to see whether or not he is a fit man to longer hold office. As I understood it, he made no resistance whatever to the mob, made no effort | to detect the lynchers, gave no alarm, | summoned no posse comitatus, and, af- ( ter the terrible affair was over, went to bed. The office of sheriff is the sec- | ond important office in the county, and if the peace of the county cannot be preserved and the lives of citizens pro- tected by the sheriff, then the whola em of county government would become a farce. His conduct on the occaston of the lynching needs a rigid investigation. “The County Commissioners were | also derelict in their duty in refusing | to offer a reward for the apprehension | of the men engaged in this crime, and their conduct is also a subject for in- vestigation. These three matters which I have enumerated cannot be ignored ' or lightly treated. In the interest of law and order they must all be fully investigated.” “I can be ready by the 12th of Jan- uary, your Honor,” said Virgin. “I will set the meeting of the Grand Jury for the 12th of January. The present Grand Jury is excused for the | term,” announced the court. The Grand Jury was drawn by the court and the County Commissioners. The court named ex-Senator Haynes, | but he was informed that the gentle- man was lying very ill at his home and would be absolutely unable to attend the session. The court drew twelve names and the Commissioners twelve names alternately.
