UNLOADS IT ON CONGRESS
PfiESIDENT (JLEVELAND TRANSMITS A SPE01AL MESSAGE.
Acknowledges That flis Attempt to Restore the Queen Has Been a Flat Failure.
Special to The Jouruai. N\ ASHINGTOX,December18.—President Cleveland sent his Hawaiian message to Congress this afternoon. He states that when the present administration entered upon its duties the Senate was considering the treaty providing for tho annexation of the Islunds. This he considers a departure from unbroken Amerioau tradition. The provisional government has neither the sanction of popular revolution nor suffrage. Referring to President Harrison's message that United States troops had taken no part iu the events of January 14, 15, and 17, 1893, Mr. Cleveland refers to the protest of the Queen whose truth.he says, was never investigated. Commissioner Blount is upheld and the statement made that both President Hurrison and the Senate were misled by exMinister Stevens who was •earnestly in favor of annexation and "was not conveniently scrupulous as to means applied to that end." There was butlittle pretense for landing troops for the protection of American inter ests. Tiie United States forces took possession without consent or wishes of the Islands or any bo else, and the occupation of January 16 was wholly without justification." Believing this to be true, the President refuses to again submit tbe annexation treaty to the Senate. He is of the opinion that the act of war committed with participation of the American Minister -.ipon weak nation called for reparation, therefore he suggested a peaceful adjustment npon tera-s providing for clemtncy and justice to all parties concerned. Tbe past should be buried and this Queen restored. His overtures proved not acceptable to the Queen, however. Unfavorable public misrepresentations, the President says, have injured prospectB of successful executive mediation and he therefore wishes the legislative branch of the government to settle the diffieultv.
American Oitizjnship.
The lecture of Walter Sims at the Y. M. C. A. hall on Saturday evening was attended by a small audience, the number being present being less than that at the Rudolph lecture. In every respect the leeture was greatly superior to Prof. Rupolph's. His subject, '•American Citizenship," was an inspiring theme and the lecturer gave full rein to his ability as an orator in presenting the power, the glory and the grandeur that surround the uncrowned kings of this glorious Republic. He made a strong appeal to the people to see to it that the civil and roligioue institutions of onr country should be maintained against the encroachment of all insidious foee, either from within or without, from political or ecclesiastical. While he was a Democrat he said that he spoke neither as a Democrat nor a Republican, bnt as an Atrnrican citizen in behalf of the preservation of American institutions, especially the public school system, which hud grown with our growth aud strengthened with onr strength. To-night be lectures at the same place on "The American Protective Association at the Polls."

A BUNGLING CROOK
ATTEMPS TO DEFKAUD ALL THE ORAWFORDSVILLE BANKS.
Louis Paquet, A hp Furber, Alias Gerlack, Alias Scholler, Alias Ffrefeneor," Alias Gorberi Lands in Jail.
Mr. Louie Paquet, of 737 Davis street, Chicago, is in tbe Crawfordsville jail and thereby hangs a tale. About two weeks ago a young man about twenty years of age, with a smooth fBce aud rather bucolic appearance arrived in the city aud registered as L. Furber, Chicago. He didn't appear to have any particular business outside of writing letters aud familiarizing himself with the town's business. He knew all the police, the proseoutor, sheriff and newspaper men by sight and steered clear of them. The people at the hotel didn't think strange of him, however, until after an absenoe of two days somewhere he returned and registered in a bungling manner as, "F. Forber, of Lafayette." This wasn't a bit smooth of the lad and it made the hotel people suspicious. On last Friday morning landlord Am Jones noticed him filling out checks on all the banks, and thinking something was croaked he notified D. H. Jackson, of Elston's bank, giving a description of the man.' From the description given Mr. Jackson recognized Mr. Furber or Forber as one L. Scholler, who had a deposit of about §200 in the bank. About two weeks before he had mada the deposit and had given out the impression that he was a German farmer and stock buyer. A day or so after he made the deposit he came in and asked is the bank collected notes, and being told that it did he left a ncte of 8375 on a Mr. Beckwith, of Ladoga, Now Mr. Beckwith is a mythical character entirely, but a letter to him from the bank brought a prompt response. The letter contained a good draft for $100 and a statement that he would be np in a few days and p:iy the balance. That Beemed all right and nothing was sus pected until Mr. Jonos revealed the identity of Forber aud Scholler to Mr. Jackson. Soon after Mr. Jones left Scholler came in and deposited a oheck on the First National for 84, eignedB. Pfefinger. Mr. Jackson investigated at once at the First National and discovered that Pfref enger and Scholler.were one with Mr. Forber. It was also learned that the First National was collecting a note for this interesting trinity from an unknown Mr. Myers, of Ladoga, who had made a partial payment. He had a de posit of $200 at the First National. At the Citizens' National Bank it was learned that he had a deposit under the name of George Gerlack. The banks were all on to Mr. Forbes Furber-
Schooler-Pfrefinger Gerlock oarly Friday afternoon and had his game down to a fine point. He had been doing business back and forth at the several banks to inspire confidence :n tbe naiue by which he was kuo -vn at each place and also in the names of his many aliases whose checks were always honored when presented, there being money deposited in each. It wus clearly bin purpose to deposit early some morning in each bank several checks signed by the nameB he had formerly used iu negotiations and which had been honored 6ach time. Then before clearance hours in the same afternoon he would go to each bank rind drawing the money out leave for par's unknown, leaving the several banks in the pottage up to their necks. It is hardly probable that he could have done this but what lie might have done is uncertain On Friday afternoon he drew from the several banks all his money but about 8100 and quietly went to Chicago where he left the wad and returned last night The police had been on the lookout, Mr. Jackson having put them on the trail Friday. It was ascertained that he had rented a room in tbe Bryant block and hither he repaired last night on getting off the train. This morning as was anticipated he came into Elston's back and stated that he wished to deposit two checks amounting to $321. One was on George Gerlaok and the other on B. Pfiefenger. Mr. Jackson promptly gave him credit on his book and when he went out called in Officer Grimes who followed the crook to the Citizens' bank. Here he offered ,to deposit checks but the bank refused them. He accordingly drew out what money he had and going to the First National also offered to deposit them in the name by which he was known. The deposit being re fused he drew his balance and started toward Elston's bank evidently resolved to draw at once and skip. He perceived himself shadowed by Officer Grimes, however, and noticing Prosecutor Mof fett enter the bank he changed his mind and going east on Main turned north on Water. The officer quickened hie pace and observed the object of his pursuit enter the ruins of the burnt mill of
Brown k. Watkins. Here he was cap. tured biding and taken at once to Els ton's bank where he was confronted •with the facts. At the jail he admitled his guilt to the officers and engraved in his gold watch was found his true name, Louis Piquet. From letters his address was found to be 737 Davie street, Chicago. At his room in tho Bryant block was found a change of clothes which would have given him a good disguise. Pnqnet had a pal who was around the city with him and who forwarded the drafts for him from Ladoga. This pal is a red headed young German with a sandy moustache, Prosecutor Moffett is not certain just how to handle the case. Paquet obtained money under false pretenses, however, when Mr. Jackson gave him credit on the worthless checks he presented as good paper. Paquet broke down this afternoon and crying piteously begged to be relea.ed.
Ho said he would give all his money and wanted to leave tbe town forever. He is evidently a green had at the business. He stateB that his wife and two children reside in Chicago.
