Wishington, March 29.—Secretary < irt^tiam, in com vernation with a KentlernaT’. yesterday, stated that Admiral Walker's mission to the Hawaiian inlands had Uftttjing to do with the establishment of a naval dejiot at Pearl harbor, but that dispatches had been received from Mr. Willis, which it was onsidered not expedient to send to conjeress, indicating that an (outbreak might occur at Honolulu at any time which would require the presence of a cool, shrewd and determined man to look after the interests of the United States. Secretary Gresham undoubtedly alluded the consummation of a rather startling plot which has been disclosed while Mr. Davies, the^vuilian of Queon LUioolralani, has been in \Vashiugton. This plan contemplates the restoration of the (queen with the assistance of England and u British protectorate in the Hawaiian islands. Mr. Davies is a thorough Englishman, his sympathies are entirely with ( treat Britain and he now goes to represent her majesty at the court of St. -James in this affair. The plan is to have the queen proclaim her sovereignty and then proceed at out* to the British legation, which is immediately across the street from the palace in which she now resides, and there apply for protection on the pretense timt .her life is in danger, and that it will be granted. »KFKAT OF KI U » K BOF NTIK*. Hviiisp I’lial the 1^‘imt** Aiueu&Utieut Sliall Not SI-au«J. Washixoto.v, March 29.—A plan for abolishing sugar bounties, without waiting for their repeal in the tariff bill, has been informally discussed among those maoibers of the house who are radically opposed to lK>uiities in general, and to the sugar bounty in particular. It has been suggested to members of the ways and means committee that a bounty repeal amendment be attached as a rider to the legist:live and judicial appropriation bill. The committee has taken no action on tiie suggestion, nor is it likely to lor the present, as it would indicate fear that the tariff hill might fail. Representative Warner of New York, who secured the passage of t he amendment to the Wilson bill, placing raw and retiued sugar on the free list, says: “We will get rid of the sugar bounties one way or another. If they are contained in the tariff' bill as it comes back from the senate, then we will reach them by a special hill, or a repeal rider will be attached to some other hill if that give* promise of accomplishing the end quickest. As yet, however, there is no definite plan, but the sentiment against bounties is so strong that the plan will really be formulated as soon as opportunity offers. Nothing is likely to be done, however, until the senate passes on the sugar schedule." «K*I KTS NKKD MONET. If It J.h >4*t fimiittMl There In Danger of Them Shutting: Up. Washington. March 29.—Acting Secretary Curtis of the treasury department lias sent to tiie house a communication from the attorney general calling attention to the immediate necessity for additional appropriations for the fiscal year ISSM for the expenses of United States courts as follows: Fees of witnesses. 1200,000; fees of jurors. fdO.OOO, and support of prisoners, $275,000. United States marshals, the attorney general says, are fearful that the judges will adjourn the courts unless money is furnished for jurors as well as witnesses. He also says there is not a district where a United States court is held that is not in need of money for stipi>ort of United States prisoners. The jailors are needy men. They supply their own money for food for prisoners and guards in protecting them, and they ought to be paid promptly. KltM'tion of SeimtorH by Direct Vote. WA8HINUTON, March 29.—Representa- $ five Bryan of Nebraska yesterday made a statement before the committee on the election of president and vice-president and representatives in congress in behalf of his proposed amendment to the constitution providing for the election of senators by direct vote of the people whenever they make provision for the same hy statute or otherwise.

The United States inspectors were alsiard the Annie L at the time and one of them, Ira Huntington of Gallipolis, was quite severely scalded.

MISS POLLARD LISTENING.

If Sffiii* ImppoWahli* That Slu» Can Snpl*rt*t*s Her Indignation —T<*9itiiiioiiy In IVrson hy Lover Hohm‘11 — Kvidenve Unfit For I’tihi ;< at inn — Mudclhi** to Attain Take the Stand. Washington, March 29. — Today Colonel W. C. P. Breckinridge began the recital of his version of the accusations made by Miss Pollard, and as great interest is living manifested as was shown when his accuser was on the

stand. Miss Pollard is present in court and is fscuig the silver-haired orator as he proceeds. Her eyes give forth the impress of indignation ami it seems improbable that she can supiiress exclamations of surprise or contradiction as be proceeds. Yesterday’* l*r«H*eedintr«. W ashington, March 29.—The surprise : of the Breckinrii'ge-Pollard trial yesteri day was the unexpected appearance of | one o*' Miss Pollard's old lovers, Rankin Rossell, a Kentucky schoolmaster. His | deposition hud been read in the case, but | to mi’ke his testimony doubly sure the j ex-fiancee was introduced in jterson, and ! no sooner had he taken the stand than Madeline Pollard glided in for the first I time this week from the office of her : attorneys across the street, where she wait* to be sent for when her presence is j needed. Most of the testimony yesterday was in the form o f depositions, and much of it was of a character which can only tie published in expuragated form. Those depositions regarding which Judge Bradley had expressed his regrets that they ooulil not lie excluded on moral principles were -recited, and tiie justification for the scathing comments on them was self-evident. Some of the language employed by Hiram Kaufman, a Lexington butcher, and John Brandt, a janitor from the same place, would hardly be tolerated in a well regulated barroom. These gentlemen admitted in a matter of fact way their tendencies toward habitual drunkeuess and marital infidelity and the court admitted their statements unexpurgatod, as he remarked in con vernation that tiie jury might judge of the character of the witnesses. Colonel Breckinridge’s private secretauy was one witness of the day, and another was Colonel Hay. the best known man in WasUingtou, and incidentally an expert on penmanship who was subjected to further cross-examination upon the principles employed in detecting forgeries. under the suggestion of another expert who sat at Attorney Wilson's elbow. From the addition of this new expert into the rase, it looks as though a hard fight has ls*en precipitated over the authenticity of that black-bordered letter which was made public yesterday. The case of the defense is drawing to a dose with the apiiearance of Colonel Breckinridge today, whose testimony is expected to occupy at least three days— aa long a time as Madeline Pollard was on the stand. Then there will be rebuttal for an indefinite length, as Miss Pollard will take the stand again and witnesses have been summoned from Kentucky. WANT HIM 1 M TKACH ED. Woiihmi of Lexington L«‘a<lhitt a Movement AttahiMt llreckinridgc. Lexington, Ky.. March 29—For the past week the ladies of this city and vicinity have been secretly circulating a petition praying congress to impeach Colonel Breckinridge. The petition says that his longer presence in congress is a disgrace to Kentucky womanhood, whic h he has already dishonored, and that congress ought to at once impeach him. The petition's existence was not known to outsiders until late last night, so quiet has the women's work been going on. Among the signers are Mrs. Cassius M. Clay, Sr., Mrs. Laura Clay, Mrs. William C. Goodloe, Mrs. Frank B. Hunt, Mrs. Catherine Acres and other leading women. They are determined to do ail they can ro keep Breckinridge from remaining in congress, and should that body refuse to expel him they will try to defeat his renomination. His Cliurclt Mnnhersliip In Banger. Lexington. Ky., March 29.—Colonel Breckinridge's church membership here is in serious danger. There will be a change in pastorate shortly and a move, it is said, will then be made to cast him out. Colonel Breckinridge has been a memlier of this church for !K) years. CASH Tn HIS POCKETS.

HE’S A CANDIDATE. Mla»iej.|*iiHs Heartily Receive. McKinley and lit- Make, l-'onr Speeches In a Hay. Min n i m>i.is, March 2!>. —Governor William McKinley and party, upon arrival in Minneapolis yesterday, were met by the students of the State university, to the number of 0<s>. and the University Republican club. The party were escorted to the West hotel, where 4,000 jieople had assembled in the spacious lobby. Along the route to the hotel the bands had been playing ‘’Marching Through Georgia,” the refrain of which was "While We Are Booming McKinley,” and the famous ■•ski-uh-muh" yell of the university students rent tin* air. The governor’s reception at the West hotel was such as only 4.000 strong northwestern throats could give. He spike from the stairway, talking principally to the students, and declared that it was to the young men of the country that all parties must look. During his address he declared that the people of the country never wanted to vote in all their history as they did now. Later the governor was driven to the exjiositioii building, where the state league of Republican clubs was in session. There he made another address, in which he said that nobody could tell what was going to happen and nobody knew what the Democratic congress would do. He then went on to talk about the principles of protection. Later in the day he was driven, under the guidance of Bishop Fowler, Governor Nelson and Mayor Kustice, to some of the public institutions, and made a splendid address to the pupils of the Central high school. In the evening he was escorted to the exposition building, which was packed to overflowing by people from all parts of the northwest to hear the leading address of the day, which was a discussion of the tariff and

fillHIiee.

WHEAT TOOK A LEAP. It I |> Thre* Out* During an Hour on ritirAffo'ft Hoard. Chicago, March 29.—-Wheat treated the hours to a pyn(technical display yesterday, shooting up ;! cents within the first hour of the session. The cold wave caused a wild stampede ot shorts to cover, and although the offerings became free at the advance May closed only 5-8 cent from the top. There was a general covering hy the local shorts. Barrett. Cudahy, Captain Philips,Brandt, Walker and the other nimble runners among the bearishly inclined home talent took in deep draughts of short wheat. A good deal of long wheat was i sold out when the shorts were in their anxious mood. Perhaps the biggest seller of wheat which had a good profit attached to it was J. C. Schwartz, who figured so successfully a few months ago on the nhort side of corn. He sold out not less than 2,000,000 bushels, having j aliout 2 cents per bushel attached to it, making him about $40,000. PRIZEFIGHT IN A POLICE STATION. t’rowp.. of Men Tested to » ElnUh Bt-
