WASHING

ION,

Feb. 22.—Already the

"preparations for the inauguration of Alr. Cleveland and the entertainment •of the thousands of democrats who will be in the city on that occasion are nearly complete. The reviewing stand in front of the white house has been finished and the dozens of pavilions from which visitors may watch the inaugural parade will be ready within a couple of days, it is estimated that these pavilions, which are scattered along Pennsylvania avenue from the foot of Capitol hill to Twentythird street, nearly 2 miles distant, will furnish seats for 100,000 people. It is needless to say that another 100,000 or so are expected to line the sidewalks ,vr .along the route of the procession.

Harvest lor the Hotels.

This great array of visitors will have to be housed and fed, and the hotels and hoarding houses innumerable have already elevated prices in anticipation of a harvest. All of the hotels will be crowded and few of them have any !... room to spare even thus early. At

the Metropolitan, for example, the prices range from S12 a day upward. At Welker's, which is a small hotel on the European plan, the rates range from S40 to S200 a week for rooms. The Isormandie has contracted to take care of 200 people at $5 a day each, and it is ouitefull. Mr. Morton's big caravansary, the Slioreham, lias -engaged to take care of 650 people at .$5 a day and upward on the European plan. The prices at the Arlington'will be $! and over per day. At Wormley's you would have to engage rooms at §10 •a day and keep them for six days.

Hif Kills of the Cleveland*. Mr. and Airs. Cleveland will stop at "the Arlington. The rooms which the Cleveland family will occupy are in the northern part of the building. They are live in number and overlook Vermont avenue and I street. They arc a parlor, a dining-room and three .«• bedrooms. The presidential board bill, it is said, will be $475 a day. The demand for rooms in this hotel has been Si- so great, since it was learned that Mr.

Cleveland had engaged quarters in it that the proprietor says he has been •obliged to refuse applications almost daily from persons who offer §50 a day and upward. Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson -have engaged quarters at the Ebbitt.

AV411 Begin with the Oath of OIDce. The inauguration ceremonies will herein with the taking of the oath of office and the reading of the inaugural ad*dress at the east front of the capitol at noon of Saturday, March 4. Immedi,ately upon the conclusion of this cereig mony the procession will form and march down Pennsylvania avenue past the white house to Washington circle at Twenty third street md thence back on street to Mount

Text of the President's Message Accompanying the Treaty.

Some Opposition to lEatilirsition lias I»e. rclnp(( In Congress, Hut It Is Koliu'.cd It Will Avail Nothing

Foreign Comment.

MADE I'L'HT.IC.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. President Harrison's message to the senate relative to the annexation of the Hawaiian islands to the United States has been made public. With it is published the letter of Secretary of State I'oster reviewing the circumstances of the late revolution and submitting the points of the treaty signed on February 14 by the seeietary of state and the commissions from the provisional Hawaiian government.

The Message Krief.

1 he message of the president wrfs brief. It states that it was deemed more desirable to fully annex the islands than to establish a protectorate. The president says the overthrow of the monarchy was not in any way promoted by this government that the restoration of Lilinokalani is undesirable if not impossible, and that the active support by the United States would prevent serious disaster and the disorganization of all business interests. lie continues:

Annexation t'r&recl

"Only two courses are now open—ono the establishment of a protectorate by the United Slates and the other annexation full and complete. 1 think the latter course, which has been adopted in the treaty, will bo highly promotive of the best interests of the Hawaiian people and is the only one that will adequately sccurc the Interests of the Lnited Slates. These interests are not wholly seillsh. It is essential that none of the other great powers shall securo these islands. Such a possession would not comport with our safety and with tho peace of the world. This view of the situation is apparent and conclusive that no protest is been heard from any government against proceedings looking to annexation. Every .oreign representative at Honolulu promptlyncUnowledged the provisional government, and 1 think there is a general concurrence in the opinion that the deposed queen ought not to be restored

I'rompt Action Desired.

"Prompt action upon this treaty is very desirable. If it meets the approval or the senate peace and good order will be secured in tlio islands under existing laws until such time as congress can provide by legislation a permanent form of government for the islands. This legislation should be, and 1 do nol doubt will be, not only just to the natives and all other residents and citizens of the islands, but should be characterized by great liberality and a high regard for the rights of all the people and of all foreigners d, mijiled there."

Terms or tlio Treaty.

A synopsis of the principal points contained in the treaty has already been published in these dispatches. Under its provisions the sugar prouucers of Hawaii will not participate in the bounty provided by the McKinley law unless congress should extend it to the islands.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Opposition to the treaty annexing Hawaii to the United States is assuming more definite form. The commercial opposition to the treaty COIIIPS from men interested in the beet and cane sugar industry in the United States, who fear that the legislation which will follow the adoption of the treaty may not sufficiently restrict the bounty to be paid for Hawaiian sugar. Any such addition to the sugar bounty as §8,000,000 or S10,000,000 a year would, the American sugar producers fear, excite a public sentiment in favor of the repeal of the sugar-bounty clause of the MeKinley tariff law. The opponents of annexation are also claiming that the convention between the United States and King Kalakaua, which went into effect November 9, 1887, providing for commercial reciprocity, secures to the United States all the naval advantages to be derived from annexation. A careful canvass of the senate has been made by one of its members who opposes the treaty. This senator says that all but five of the democratic senators are opposed to the treaty and that at least three republican senators are also opposed to it. To defeat ratification would require the opposing votes of twenty-eight members of the entire senate. According to these figures the opponents of annexation have it within their power to delay any action upon the treaty until after March 4. After that date of course the policy of President Cleveland would probably have much influence in the senate either for or against ratification, y*

The House Has a Grievance. Mr. Tucker (Va.), Mr. Springer (111.) and others propose to get a resolution through the house to ascertain why a treaty which will involve the government in expenditures and require the raising of revenues hits been submitted to the senate without being submitted to the house also.

Wants More Money.

After numerous delays Paul Neumann, the deposed queen's envoy, kept an appointment with the secretary of state Tuesday afternoon, his visit and conference, however, being of an informal nature. In the course of his talk with Secretary Foster Mr. Neumann stated that while the queen was not opposed to annexation, still she objected to the members of the commission who were endeavoring to negotiate the treaty. Furthermore, he wanted it distinctly understood that the allowance made to the queen in the articles of tho treaty was not commensurate with her dignity and station, and it was her desire that if annexation should become an assured thing a better financial arrangement should be entered into than that proposed heretofore by the members of the commission. P,oth gentlemen talked the matter over very fully, but no assurance was given the queen's envoy that anything [additional would be transmitted to the senate through .the secretary of state or the president.

New Hrl^adler General.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—The president Bent to the tsenate the following nomination: Col. Ewell S. Otis, Twentieth infantry, to be brigadier general.

Gladstone's Great Measure in the Commons.

Bead

IT IS A VERY LESGTHY DOCUMENT.

A .Synopsis of Its Principal Provisions— Irish leaders Announce Themselves in JI I'avor and Appeal for

Aid from America.

HKAL) IN TUB COMMONS.

LONDON, Feb. 20.—Mr. Gladstone's home rule bill was read for the first time in the house of commons Friday night. It is long and exhaustive and contains about 8,000 words.

Tlio liill Outlined.

A synopsis of the principal provisions of the measure is given below: It is prefaced with a "whereas"' clause declaring it "expedient iliat without imparing or restricting the supreme authority of the parliament an Irish legislature be created." This legislature is to consist ol two houses—a council and an assembly—both, of course, subject lo the queen. With certain exceptions this body is to be granted power "to mane laws for the peace, order and (food government of Ireland In respect to mauers relating exclusively to that country."1

Among the subjects with which the Iiish legislature will not be allowed to tamper are these: Matters relating to status, dignity or succession of the crown the making of peace or war, or the management of matters pertaining thereto: digijiti( .s or titles of honor treason, lelony or naturalization: trude with any place out el Ireland: coinage, copyright or patent rights. All matters of religion are also withheld from the power of the home legislature.

I'ower Vested in the Queen. The executive power will continue to be vested in the queen. The lord lieutenant will exercise any prerogatives, other than the executive power of the queen, which shall be delegated to him by her majesty, among which will be 'hat or summoning, proroguing and dissolving the legislature. "There shall be an executive committee of the privy council in Ireland to aid and adviso the government of Ireland, being of such numbers and comprising persons holding such offices as her majesty may think lit or as may be directed by the Irish act. The lord lieutenant shall, on the advice of the executive committee, give or withhold the assent of her majesty to bills passed by the two houses of the Irish legislature, subject to any instructions given by her majesty in respect to such bills.''

The council of this proposed legislature is to consist of forty-eight councilors. Ireland is divided into constituencies among which the right to elect councilors is apportioned according to the. number of voters in each. Councilors will hold office for a term of eight years, half the number retiring every fourth year. 1 he legislative assembly is lo consist of members returned by the voters in the existing parliamentary constituencies. This body, when it meets, may continue in session live years unless dissolved soo:ier by the lord lieutenant.

Until parliament shall see at to make ft change Jrei.-.nd is to be represented by members' in the house of commons and the house of lords, elected by Irish constituencies as arranged for by a schedule submitted wi'1' bill. These Irish peers and members of the house shall not be entitled to deliberate or vote on. any bill re' lftliug exclusively to Great Britain.

Arrangement ol Finances.

After an appointed day there shall exist an Irish exchequer and a consolidated fund separate from those of the united kingdom. Customs and excise duties and postage duties are to be imposed by parliament. The Irish legislature in order to provide for the public service in Ire'and may impose all other taxes, provided that duties and customs shall be regulated, collected. managed and paid into the exchequer of the united kingdom as heretofore, and all prohibitions in connection with duties and excise and so far as regards articles sent out of Ireland and all matters relating to those duties shall be regulated by act of parliament Excise duties on articles consumed in Great Britain shall be paid in Great Britain to an officer of the government of the united kingdom, save as in the act mentioned. All public revenues in Ireland shall be paid into the Irish exchequer and form a consolidated lund appropriated to the public service of Ireland by Irish act.

All hereditary revenues of the crown in Ireland, managed by the commissioners of lands and forests, are to continue during the life of Victoria. No one living in Great Britain will be required to pay an income tax on possessions in Ireland, and similarly no one living in Ireland will be taxed for property in Great Britain. To give Ireland the benefit of tho' difference between the income taxes collected in Great Britain from colonial and foreign curities held by Irishmen, and from Irish securities held by Britishers, an allowance, to be determined from time to time by parliament, is to be paid into the Irish treasury.

The customs duties contributed by Ireland, and any other portion of the public revenue on which that country may have a claim, will go into the consolidated fund of the united kingdom as Ireland's contribution for sustaining the imperial government.

Other Features Outlined.

After detailing the jurisdiction of the Irish courts and fixing the salaries and pensions of the judges, the remainder of the bill covers, on the lines indicated by Mr. Gladstone in his great speech and summary of the act, these points and features: The postal and telegraph service shall be turned over to the Irish government! appeal from the courts of Ireland to the house of lords shall cease, the queen in counsel being the appellate power: religious belief shall not enter into the choice of lord lieutenant of Ireland, who shall hold office six years the royal constabulary and Dublin police forces are to die out by lack of new appointments: the Gladstone act is made subject to restricted amendment by the Irish legislator"supreme court judges are for six years, to b" created by royal warrant: the Irish"legishit shall meet on the first Tuesday in Septemb'-'-1894: the act shall become fully operative »«t more than seven months after that date.

Aid Asked.

An address has been issued by Justin McCarthy, John Dillon, William O'Brien and other Irish members of parliament, to all friends of Ireland in the United States, Canada and Australia. in which it is stated that they are heartily in favor of the new measure for home rule presented by Mr. Gladstone. They think it a marked improvement on the bill of 1S8(. But they are assured that the opposition to it is bitter and unscrupulous. and although the house of commons will pass it without a break" in the majority, the house of lords will be appealed to. and probably anew general election ordered. This would tax the resources of the Irish members, which have already been severely strained by the recent campaign. Therefore an appeal for material aid is made to the friends of Ireland in America and all over the world. Jso doubt is felt in the issue of the contest, as there is no precedent for a measure indorsed by the commons failing to become the law of Great Britain.

Visited by Her Father's Crlni INDIANA1'OIJS, Ind., Feb. 22.—Laura Maiy Hollingsworth, who disappeared from Coates collcge at Terre Haute a week ago, was found here Monday as she was in the act of purchasing a ticket to Cincinnati. Ex-Sheriff Cackley, of Knox county, was notified of the fact and found her in the waiting-

room. In reply to his arguments that she should return home, she said she never wanted to see her father again, and that she had determined to make her own living. She is a daughler of S. S. Hollingsworth, ex-treasurer of Knox county, who was sent to the penitentiary some four years ago for embezzling $81,000 of county funds. When he returned from prison, his wife having died during his confinement, the daughter was placed in Coates college. Iler schoolmates, she says, taunted her with her father's crime and she was completely ostracized. She then determined to leave the institution and took advantage of the first opportunity to escape.

Recently a strike was threatened and the foundrymen feared to take big orders lest they should be unable to fill them. The various foundrymen united under the name of the Manufacturers' association and sent a letter to the Moulders' union requesting immediate arbitration. £so reply was given to the request, so the manufacturers agreed to close their foundries and lock their men out.
