4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 189S. RECOGNIZES RIGHTS OF AW AITANS Mr. Damon Makes a Speech That Is Applauded. But It Is Not Relished by Other Members of Dole’s Cabinet. Question of Voting Population Being in the Minority Can’t Hold on Forever. WOULD SOOTHE NATIVES. of Offenders, However, Is Opposed Plea for the Pardon Political by Annexationist dence of The Call. HONOLULU, Jan. 17.—To-day Is the fifth anniversary of the deposition of the Hawaiian monarchy and the as- sumption of power by the Provisional Government, the predecessor of the present republic. It is observed as a Government holiday and recognized only by a small minority of the peo- ple. ts only celebration is in the form of a military parade to especially re- mind the people that they are con- trolled by an armed force which hav- ing once conquered them is still com- petent to hold them in subjection un- til brighter days dawn. Those days cannot be far distant, for the Minister of Finance has touched a chord that has been responded to almost unani- mously, and with enthusiasm, by the people of all parties, annexationists, in- dependent, republican and royalists, except a very exclusive and very big- oted minority whose influence is wan- ing daily. Mr. Damon has boldly uttered, in the presence of his colleagues and the solemn Council of State, the following memorable words: “This question of the voting population being in the minority cannot hold on forever.” His speech throughout is marked with force and liberality and js not pleasing to one of his colleagues—the Attorney- General—and even the acting Presi- dent and Minister of Foreign Affairs is not especially charmed with it, for viewed from the standpoint of a poli- tician Mr. Damon has scored a very strong po before the electorate of Beptember, 1899, which, in the event of there being ) annexation, will num- ber from twelve to fifteen thousand; for it has been almost decided that the oath tc the republic, the anti-restora- | we should forget the past and look | | ahead to the brighter future. The most of these men are Hawaiians, and | now looking at it in a purely political | spirit it seems to me that it is our golden opportunity to say to the Ha- | walians: ‘You h: been in opposition | to us; we respect your feelings; we respect you more because you have seen fit to come forward and recognize | the republic and forget the past.’ | “It has been no easy affair for the | Hawaiians, nor is it so to-day for| | them, to recognize the change in af- | fal Foreigners are accustomed to a republic, but the Hawaiian has been | brought up for generations to look up | | to his chief and his soverelgn. And he | does feel a dread of the power of the | & ‘193S]S J9Y ‘UOS[IAL PNEBI SSIIN - | foreigner coming here. He feels as | though he was to be brushed to one side, and I believe this is an opportu- | nity for us now to say to him: ‘The door Is open; we are ready to forget| | the past.’ | “Whether we are to be annexed to | the great republic in a very short time | | or in a longer time, we should be ready | | to welcome those who are in opposition to us. If we are not ready now after | a lapse of practically five years, my | | opinion is that that time will never | come. Five years is time enough to | make up our minds whether we are | going to call the past quits and start | in again. It seems to me that the re- | public is too well established to harbor this enmity. We want to go ahead and | | progress in this country. This question of the voting population being in the | minority cannot hold on forever. If we are a republic we want to have a com- mon country and a common ground to | work upon; and to say that a part of this community is to be kept outside | the pale seems to me a great mistake, and 1 have always urged this in the | past. Every time we have taken an advance step and allowed those who are ready to come in and join us we have never lost ground. It has always been a help to us to take that step, and | I maintain that it is the proper step | for us to take at thisstime.” -ral other Councillors indorsed most warmly' the views of Minister D: mon and even Councillor Wilder prac- ally reprimanded theexecutive forre- ness in not having brought the matter properly before the Council, but | as the Councii had not been called to consider it he hoped the executive would take care to bring it properly before the Council at its next session. It is anticipated that whatever Mr. Smith’s or Mr. Cooper’s views may be | Ministers Damon and King will insist upon the question being brought up at the next Council when the pardons will probably be granted by a practically unanimous vote. It i{s becoming quite evident that so far as our ministry is concerned, “two dogs never agree about a bone,” and they are becoming wo- fully and dismally alarmed at the num- erous questions they will have to an- swer in the Legislature next month in | regard to their ministerial actions. In the first place there is a strong impression that a large amount of pub- | lic money has been lavishly expended in some mysterious manner in connec- | tion with the annexation fight, and the expenses of President Dole’s junketing trip will be criticized. Another battle they will have to fight will be in regard to the Japanese | rlaims and dispute. Another impor- | tant one will be in regard to their re- | ticence in connection with the claims made for redress by American, British, Portuguese, Norwegian, Danish and other citizens to the number of two score or thereabouts for illegal deten- tion in 1895. It is belleved that, ex- cept in one or two instances, the Min- ister of Foreign Affairs contends that n accordance with British precedents, | nd notably in the famous Jamaica se, the Hawalian Government was justified in its actions and is not re- sponsible to any one for the injustice it did.

The Council of State met on the 14th to consider the full pardon, restoration to civil rights, and the remission of fines pending over them, of the few re- maining unfortunate political prisoners who were d in the much-falsi- fied and exag ated emeute of 1895, and who for many months have been on parole and have conducted themselves in a most exemplary manner In spite of the treatment they received. It was generally anticipated that these conce: would have been al- most unanimously granted, but when the test came it was found that one or two narrow-minded men, for the sake of the influence they thought it might have in the Senatorial debates on the question of annexation, and to gratify personal spleen, discovered that there had been no formal petitions for pardon and no formal promises, al- though they had been honest though informal ones, of taking the oath of allegiance to the republie. After a debate that at times approached to the limits of temper and in which the ex- ;(‘u!h‘;? f\l"asd su;lndly berated by its rmest friends the matter was on technicalities. = ifeged The oppositicn was led by the Attor- ney-General, whe is deeply galled by the personal and political antagonisms he has earned since he learned a little law in a ministerial capacity. The able leader of the House of Rep- resentatives, Hon. A. G. M. Robertson, himself one of the most active lawyers in connection with the Military Com- mission of 1895, spoke forcibly. He de- sired the Ministry to learn the feelings entertained by the Council. He was decidedly in favor of pardoning all the political prisoners on parole and of re. mitting their fines. Thelir offense had passed away, and these fines hanging over their heads embarrassed them in social and business life. The Minister of Forelgn Affairs availed himself of the technical points advanced by the Attorney-General that formal application and formal | promises should humbly be made by the paroled prisoners. He claimed that the executive— which he really | meant W. O. Smith and H. E. Cooper— had so decided. The Councilors began to show symp- toms of annoyance and revolt, and were only half quieted when Mr. Da- mon, the Minister of Finance, rose and with marked emphasis as he looked at | the twin rulers of the homogeneous | Cabinet said: “T feel myself that the time has arrived when we ought to hold out the right hand of fellowship | to any one who has been in opposition | to us In the past, and who shows a de- sire, even if, as it has been expressed at the very t moment, to recognize the republic.

The Call correspondent that he is still awaiting replies from his Government to his request for more definite instruc- tions in connection with his previous dispatches in regard to certain points in dispute before he can again com- municate with the Hawaiian Govern- | ment. It is not improbable that, ow- | ing to the changes and conditions in | Japan, these may be delayed for some | time to come unless, perchance, they | arrive by the steamers due this week. | He asserts most firmly that in the cor- | respondence he has already received | there is no limitation of $200,000, or any | sum whatever, mentioned as to possi- ble claims Japan may have rendered | in her favor against Hawail. He also permitted your correspondent to leave with the impression that Japan would adhere to the King of the Belgians as | arbitrator and not accept the Hawaiian | suggestion of three jurists in his Ma- jesty’s stead, and further that Japan would probably contend that she could not retire from the position she has as- | sumed in the correspondence, but, of course, he could not divulge the nature | of instructions which he has not yet re- ceived.

Personaliy 1 like Mr. Dole, and the members of his Cabinet are my friends; but Mr. Dole in saying that Hawailans are satisfied with the ex- Isting Government makes a great mis- take if he means to include the natives. Moreover, the desire of the whites for annexation is waning.” IMMENSE DRYDOCK TO BE BUILT AT NEWPORT NEWS. New Vessels luflmEd by the Pacific Mail Directors May Be Constructed There.

DENVER, Jan. 25.—The first session of the National Stock-growers’ Con- vention was called to order in the Col- isseum Hall at 10:30 o’clock by George L. Goulding, chairman of the general ritories of the West, Northwest and Southwest. In a few words the chairman stated the object of the meeting. He said that the years of depression to which the cattle industry had been subjected had caused a loss In that branch of busi- ness of hundreds of millions, but that | there now appeared brighter prospects for stock-growing in its various branches and this convention was called to consider the new conditions. Governor Alva Adams welcomed the | delegates in the name of the State.

Extended Powers to Be Given Mem- bers of the Executive Committee. Epectal Dispatch to The Call. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 25.—Four hun- dred delegates were present at the Grand Opera-house to-day when Chairman Hanna of the executive com- mittee called the monetary convention to order. Two Governors—Governor Mount of Indiana and Governor Shaw of Jowa—were the speakers at the af- ternoon session. Governor Mount de- livered the speech of welcome, and Governor Shaw spoke for more than an hour on the gold standard and the re- tirement of the greenbacks. Governor Mount spoke briefly. His speech was an earnest plea for the | maintenance of the gold standard. He | showed that Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the Democratic party, held stoutly to the belief that the local | ratio of coinage should conform to the mercantile ratio of the metals, and he | queried in this connection how this at- titude would compare with modern | Bryanism, which insists upon 16 to 1 | as the legal ration, while the commer- | cial ratio is 33 to 1. . He pictured the disastrous results which would follow from the free coin- | age of silver in this country, and as- | serted that capital would seek invest- Mayor T. S. McMurray of Denver de- | livered a welcome on behalf of the city. John W. Springer, president of the Continental Cattle Company of Texas, was elected temporary chairman of the convention. He was escorted to the | chalr by Governor Richards of Wyom- | ing and Lieutenant-Governor Brush of Colorado. Charles H. Gould of Nebraska was chosen temporary secretary; R. E. Mec- Ginnes of St. Paul reading clerk, and ‘W. H. O'Brien of Denver sergeant-at- arms. The afternoon programme opened with an address by G. F. Patrick of Pueblo, on “The Benefits to Be Derived From an Interstate He argued that organizations of pack- ers and carriers had forced the stock- growers to organize. He cited many abuses suffered by shippers from rail- road companies, stockyard companies and packers. Local organizations, he sald, could not properly meet these abuses.

The convention then adjourned until 7 o'clock, when addresses were to be de- livered to a large audience by Hon. C. | Stuart Patterson of Philadeiphia and | Colonel Jacob T. Greene of Connecti- cut. Mr. Patterson spoke on behalf of the monetary commission as one of its members. The executive committee was con- tinued by the unanimous vote to-day and will be given power to add to its members.

Prospect of Suffering Among the Snow- Bound Travelers. Much Damage Caused to Build- ings and Wires in the Large Cities. FATALITIES IN ST. LCUIS. | | Now the Arctic Circle Is Being Ex- tended to the Middle West Territory. Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Jan. 25.—Another severe | storm similar to that of Saturday swept down upon the city from the northeast this morning and raged tiil late in the afternoon. It started out with an in- tensity that promised to literally bury | Chicago, and when it ceased another | six inches had been added to the half a foot of snow that fell Saturday. The drifts of the first storm remain and | were made higher by the fresh down- fall. The storm caused great inconvenience | and delays on all transportation lines. Of through trains on lines centering in Chicago two were reported missing early this evening. One of them was the St. Paul limited of the Great Western Railroad, and the other a train running between Chicago and Eau Claire on the ‘Wisconsin Central road. Nothing has been heard from either of the trains since their departure. The wires along | the roads are down at many pomts,} but at those where communication is | possible nothing has been heard of them, and officials of the road say the trains are snowbound. | Other roads fared scarcely better, but \ | the storm played havoc with their | | time tables, and there was hardly a | ‘lhrough train that arrived on the ap- | pointed hour. | The suburban service on the rail- roads as well as street railways was | delayed. Many trains from outside | points were snowbound, and those that | arrived, all of them behind time, | reached their destination by plowing | | through snow banks several feet in | depth. Trains from Kansas City and | other surrounding points encountered | | the most trying obstacles, as their | | route was directly through the path of | the storm. The entire Middle West was a prey to the ravages of the blizzard, and re- ports from 300 points from Winnipeg and Montreal on the north and east to St. Louis and Denver on the south and west indicate a snow fall of sufficient depth to practically put a stop to all traffic. Through the entire territory a high wind raged which caused drifts in the prairie districts of Iowa, Nebras- ka, Minnesota and Western Illinois, in some instances twenty feet deep, which will, when they cross wagons or rail- roads, require several days to clear away. Cattlemen of Nebraska fear the | herds will suffer, particularly if the prevailing winds should be accom- panied by a falling of the thermometer, in which case the snow, which was very wet, will freeze so hard that cat- tle cannot graze through it. At St. Louis the storm was accom- panied by a vivid electrical display and wind of such velocity as to recall the terrible cyclone of 1896. It blew at the | rate of sixty-three miles an hour. Au- gust Weymeyer, a carpenter, was blown from the Shields school roof and killed. Thomas J. Peterson, 4 years old, was blown from a porch roof at his home and killed. Mrs. Sarah Lorin was caught under a falling fence and will probably die. Mrs. Dodridge, wife of the general manager of the Missouri Pacific Railway, was struck by flying debris, but not seriously hurt. Many minor injuries of the same character are reported. At 2 o'clock this (Wednesday) morn- | ing several trains were reported miss- | | ing by the Chicago and Northwestern | |and Chicago, Milwaukee and St. T@ul | on their Western lines, and fears' for the comfort of the passengers aboard are entertained by the officlals. When the coal gives out the steam will go down and the cars become untenable. If the trains are not near farm houses, where food and shelter can be pro- cured, some fatalities from exposure may result.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—The Herald's ‘Washington correspondent telegraphs: | Should Spain send a man-of-war to an American harbor the administration, it was told by an official, will extend every courtesy possible to her officers. Having publicly announced that the | Maine’s visit to Havana was solely a friendly one, they would regard the | presence here of a Spanish man-of-war | | in the same light. | Minister de Lome had been advised | of the purpose of Spain to send a ves- eel here at this time. He considered it quite a natural thing to do. He could see no reason why vessels of both countries should not freely enter har- bors of each other, and one of the best evidences of the peaceful condition of affairs in Cuba and of the friendly re- lations between the two countries would be an exchange of friendly calls by naval vessels. Another Spanish representative with whom I talked remarked that the Spanish were a very polite people, and would not be outdone in courtesies. The State Department received to- night a dispatch from Consul-General Lee, announcing that Captain Sigsbee, commanding the Maine, had paid him an official visit, which he would re- turn. The condition of affairs in Havana remains quiet. | A few of the men, it is understood, re- | ally lose both health and busines: ALARM CLOCKY [NTERRUPT HIM | Whirring Bells Startle a Lecturer at Har- vard. Professor Wendell Flees in Dis- gust, but Returns and Smashes the Tickers. Tricks of Students That May Cause the College to Lose Promi- nent Educators. Special Dispatch to The Call. BOSTON, Jan. 25.—There is a big sensation at Harvard, and serious con- sequences are feared. One of the most | startling tricks played at Harvard for | some years was the insult which some | undergraduates offered this morning to Professor Barrett Wendell. As Pro- fessor Wendell was starting on his lec- ture on English literature the bell of an alarm clock situated in the rear of the lecture room startied the 400 stu- dents. A half hearty laugh on the part of the listeners and a serious smile on the face of the professor followed. After the bell had ceased ringing he continued. But just when the lecturer | had recovered himself and was pro- ceeding to take up his comments again another clock started off somewhere behind the lecturer’s seat. Then a third burred away. The professor, after making a short, almost unheard com- ment, took his hat and coat and left the room, while the class applauded. | mained behind to hunt up the clpcks which were stationed at various places in the room, some of which had not yet gone off. The professor returned to the lecture room just when these men were leaving with their clocks, and that he took the clocks away from the students with appropriate remarks and that he hurled the ticking things against the outside walls of the bufld- ing so as to break them goes without saying. The incident was the one topic of conversation throughout the university all day. On several hands the men ex- pressed an intention of doing some- thing to show Professor Wendell that the great majority of the members of the class are very sorry for what hap- pened, that they do not countenance such proceeedings and that they will do all in their power to have the of- fenders made known and punished. It is becoming more and more evident that unless some way is found of en- forcing better conduct in the large lec- ture courses at Harvard this system must give way to something else. Should this happen, as is threatened, it will mean that the eminent profes- sors at Harvard, such asProfessorsSha- ler, Norton, James, Royce, Taussig, Hart, Channing, MacVean, Wendell and oth- ers who all conduct large and popular courses, must be reduced in their sphere of influence—an event that would be much lamented by every one who has the best interests of collegiate | education at heart, and which would | certainly make the cheek of every true Harvard man burn for shame. RAYMOND'S DAY OF DOOM SET REDWOOD CITY, Jan. 25.—C. H. Ray- mond, alias Samuel Moore, who was ar- rested, tried and convicted for the mur- der of C. A. Andrews at Baden, was to- day brought before Judge Buck to recelve his death sentence. A large crowd con- gregated at the Courthouse, curious to get another glimpse of the murderer, who may soon expiate his crime on the gallows. The attorney for Raymond, C. | H. Kirkbride, made the usual motion for | a new trial, but it was denied. Thirty days were allowed him in which to pre- pare his bill of exceptions, to be used in | an appeal to the Supreme Court. Ray- | mond was then told to stand up, and was | admonished by the court and sentenced | to_be hanged by the neck until dead. During the ordeal the prisoner was probably the coolest person in the court- room. He never flinched nor betrayed the least excitement. The Sheriff was di- rected to deliver him to the Warden at Folsom, to be there confined until the Sth day of April, the date set for the execu- tion. On this day, at the same place, Winters, the accomplice of Raymond, | Wwho was also convicted of the murder, | will hang for his crime. | Raymond has a jmost sanctimonious ex- pression on his face and was known while serving time in Folsom at “The Parson.” ‘While there he was at the head of al- most every revolt and disturbance that took place, but when he goes back this time it will be as a close prisoner.
