coolies, lepers and other undesirable classes, vita only 2.100 native Americans, and the ery climate makes it Impossible to produce a good rjeoDlo. It mil be shown tbat forcible acquisition would bo cheaper in case of war. It is also said the annexation fever has been created by men in Congress who bare ever since the new tariff law was enacted been working np the present conditions for stipulated salaries, paid by the corporations interested. One opponent of annexation declares that before annexation is accomplished as ranch conpresiona! corruption will be shown as was disclosed in the Panama steal in proportion to the interests involved. Besides this, there nro a number of prominent Senators and member of the llonse who will tight annexation legislation to the bitter end, among the former beins Senators Gray, Vest, lirico and Fettitirew. In case annexation of tho islands be rcoommended. by the executive the method of accomplishing it remains to be decided. The qneston has been discussed by those xnot interested, and it is understood that only two modes of procedure are deemed feasible. One is by treaty, which tho benate alone may ratify; the other Is by ordinary act of Congress requiring joint action of the Senate and Honse. It is believed that the former method will be adopted if favorable action upon the proposition of the Hawaiian commissioners be determined on. To make the treaty elective, of course, the Honse would have to appropriate the necessary money, so tbat while the ratification of a treaty of annexation by the present Senate is a possibility, the execution of the terms of the treaty will be a heritage of the next Congress and administration. Another meeting of the commissioners ana Secretary Foster will bo held at the State Department to-morrow. GEITIXO READY FOR MARCH 4. Judications Point to the Greatest Demonstation at Any Inauguration. Washington-, Feb. 12. The work of committees having charge of theceremonies incident to the inauguration of Presidentelect Cleveland is progressingsatisfactorily. General McMahon and Colonel Corbin, who have supervision of the arrangements of the parade, aie daily receiving applications from military organizations all over United States lor position in the line. More than a hundred organizations, including Tammany, have thus far reported a probable strength of over 17,000 men to form in line on March 4. The Governors of the following named States iiavo notified the committee that they will be in line, accompanied by members of their respective staffs, and in many instances by Independent military companies: Delaware, Pennsylvania. New Jeraey. Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina. South Carolina, Virginia. Ohio. Louisiana and Wisconsin. It is almost certain tbat a majority of the Governors of the remaining States will be present, but as yet they have not notified the committee. Pennsylvania, as usual, will send the largest representation of any State. Its full .National Guard of P.ftO men will be in line. New York will send its crack organizations the Seventh and the Sixty-ninth regiments and probably Company A of the Thirteenth Kegiment (iirooklyn.) The following independent organizations have notified the committee to reserve them positions in the line: Georgia Hussars, Monumental City Guards and Baltimore Hillea. Palmetto Guards, of Charleston (. C), , Cleveland Troop and Alliance Guards lO.) and the Fort Worth Fencibles (Tex.) Thero is every probability that the inauguration of Murch 4, 1S'J3, will surpass all its predecessors. DKEIIJU"D NUMUEIt TWO.

Story that the Recent Treaty IJetween Russia, France and Ourselves Is a Triple Alliance. Washington, Feb. 12. The publication of dispatches announcing that there was a hidden significance in the extradition treaties recently ratified by the United Elates Sonata with Russia and France naturally occasioned many inquiries to be addressed to olliciala here and to members of the Senate who would be in a position to know tho facts. According to the dispatches, a triple alliance between the United States, Kussia and France for mutual benefit and defense, which has been secretly pending for nix years, unknown to either the diplomatic or political world at large, cultiniatcd in an executivo session of the United States Senate two days ago in the ratification of the extradition treaty with those powers. Inquiries from the bent source of information do not sustain this interpretation of that treaty. It id asserted that there was no provision in either of the treaties very widely ditlering from extradition treaties negotiated with Great Britain. Germany and other powers. More to the point still.il is said, there was no provision in either treaty ditleriug essentially from the extradition treaty with Bweden which, was ratilied at the same time. One of the Senators who participated in the dicassion of the.9 treaties has since publicly expressed his opinion that the ratification of these treaties would be regarded by Kussia and France as a tacit agreement cementing thon ancient bonds of alliance wnich had led France to aid us In our revolution, and had induced Kubsia to send Its Heet to our moral aid when Napoleon was trying to induce Great Britain to recognize the Confederacy. It is pointed out. however, that though these vie wa may have largely inliuenced Senators in the ratitication of the treaty, and though somo idea of the same kind may well have been present in the minus of high contracting powers, thero is a considerable spaoo separating the renewal of friendly sentiments from the negotiation of an otlensiye and defensive alliance. BUSINESS OF CONGRESS. But Sixteen Days In "Which to Rush Through a File of BillJ. Washington, Feb. 12. But sixteen forking days remain of the Fifty-second Congress. Only one of the annual appropriation bills the army bill has become a law, and from this time on nntil March 4 both houses of Congress will bend every energy to the completion of the remainder f the important measures. For this reason it is uncertain whether the Senate 'will be able to carry out the programme of legislation, short as it is, arranged by the Hepublican canens. The Nicaragua canal bill is in the unfinished business, bnt os it promises to proToke a long debate it must, from time to time, give way to the appropriation bills and the conference reports. Next to the Nicaragua bill on the caucus programme is the omnibus statehood bill. Senator Carey, who is in charge of the bill, does not propose to lose any opportunity to advance it. and whenever recenrse is had to the calendar on which the bill occupies a favora bio position, he will endeavor to press the measure without waiting for action on the Nicaraguan bill. It is possible that the Senate may be plunged into a financial discussion any day in the week should Mr. Sherman call up the amendment to one of the appropriation bills of which be has siven notice, authorizina the Secretary of the Treasury to sell bonds to maintain specie payments. Now that the silver question is shelved, leaders in the House do not see anything ahead between now and March 4 to cause trouble except the appropriation bills and the antiODtions bill. It is pnrpoed to ceet the llon pounding nway on the appropriation bills with little intermission Tin til the last one is sent over to tho Senate, General Note. Bpecift! to the Indianapolis Journal.

GEOYEli TAKING IT EASY

His Cabinet JSlato May He Complete by the End of tho Present Week. - . r Ho Authoritative Announcement, but (JnsV ain'a Appointment So Loner Doubted Another bilvar-Bill Mission. lIOXl HUT CONFIDENT, These, the Democrats Admit, Characterize the Action of Clcvelauil. Nr.W Yohk, Feb. 12. The World says today: "Judge Walter Q. Gresham, of Indiana, has been offered and has accepted the secretaryship of state under the Cleveland administration. This announcement today was received with delight by some, surprise by many, and disappointment by others. Those who have joined the Democratic party because they believed it tq be the party of the people sin co Grover Cleveland became its leader had nothing but praise to oiler. Straight-out Democrats expressed regret that a simon-pure Jacksoniau could not have been , chosen, bo mo Republicans chuckled, and declared that it was funny DO Domocrat could have been found lit for the place. None, however, questioned the extraordinary ability of Judge Gresham or his qualifications to mate a great premier. Many hesitated to express opinions until after the President-elect had oilicially announced hie choice. In tendering this otlice to the moil prominent and the most honored of the former Republicans who supported his candidacy Mr. Cleveland bts displayed tho boldness and originality uh a political leader which has been the most marked feature of his extraordinary career. It is a veritable inspiration. Only a great politician could have conceived it. Only a leader confident of himself and conudent of the people's trust would have dared carry it out." A dispatch lrora Atlanta, Ga., says: Hoke Smith, of this city, who, it is reported, was asked by Mr. Cleveland to enter his Cabinet, has this to say in the editorial columns of his paper, the Journal, to-day: "Mr. Cleveland has tendered to Judge Walter Q. Gresham. of Indiana, the otlice of Secretary of fctate, and Judge Gresham has accepted it. To the country this appointment is a surprise, and comments upon it are various. We are confident, however, that when the reasons which induced Mr. Cloveland to inako this choice are fully understood tbey will be respected by Democrats generally, and his action will be approved. It must be remembered that the Democratic party has in the last four years made its greatest gains in the West. Judge Gresham 1h not only a typical Western man, but he is a representative of a large class of men in that section who have abandoned the Republican party on principle and come over to the Democracy." Senator Palmer's Position. Wasliintcn Svcc.al to New York Bun. "This appointment." said Senator Palmer, "will be discouraging especially to the young men of the party, who W6nt into the last light with the hope and expectation that Borne of their friends who went to the front and engaged in some of the sovere tiffining would be recognized in preference to those who remained behind tho breastworks or in their tents, and iid not soil their clothes with the dust of I'Jttlo. Personally." said Senator Palmer, "my position is similar to tbat of a little German lawyer who had an otlice in the same building with me in Springfield, it was during the campaign of lSOS, when I was moro or less interested in the nomination that the Democratic convention wonld make. So was my German friend on the floor below me. As I came down stairs my German friend shouted to me: 'Who's going to be nominated. General' "I replied: 'It looks like Hendricks "'Hendricks van a goot man.' he said. 'Hurrah for Hendricks.' "A few hours later 1 bad occasion to go down stairs again, and my German friend questioned me further concerning the nomination. 1 replied: "It looks like Chase would be nominated.' " Ab.' said be. 'Chase vas a bully man. Hurrah for Chase!1 "Finally word came that the convention had nominated Seymour, aud as 1 passed my German friend's door 1 informed him that Seymour was nominated. " 'Das ish tfoot.' said he. 'Seymour vas de best man what dey got. Hurrah for Seymour!' "This." said the Senator, "about expresses my position at tho present time."

They assert tbat they have pledges from forty-three members to vote for Miller and that this will bring him within four votes of an election on the opening ballot. On the second ballot tbey say that the ten votes of Senator Palmer will leave him, and that Miller will get enough ot them to elect him.

It is rumored that a combination has been agreed on. tbat if toe Republicans will vote solidly for Lee Mantle or Tom Carter to-morrow, enough of Dixon's men will join with thorn to elect. The Clark men are confident, however, and say they will elect their candidate without the aid of any anti-cauous Democrats. Clark only needed three votes yesterday, and it is said he would havo had two ot them from the Republicans and another from a Dixon man on another ballot. FIRE BEGS AT XAS11V1LLE.

The well is on the Hoa land farm, in Midaletown township, twenty miles south of Toledo. It is flowing over one thousand barrels a day, and cannot be shut in. The oil is running all over the country.

NOVEL INSURANCE SCHEME Chicago Company Will Re Organized to Tako Life-Risks on Women. One of the Promoters Declares that, All Things Considered, Chances Taken on ilea Are Ho Less Risky than on Women. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Chicago, Feb. 12. Anf application for a certificate of Incorporation for the Woman's -Xife Insurance Company, of Chicago', will he forwarded to Springfield to-morrow, with a list of prominent men and women as incorporators. The company is capitalized at $250,000. It is not the purpose of the company to confine its business to insuring the lives of women, but simply to do a life-insurance business without discriminating against women. A woman who was the main promoter of the enterpriso expressed herself on the subject as follows: "Some years ago 1 became anxious concerning the education of my children, and especially in ease of my death, and the only way by which 1 could provide was by insuring my life. 1 made application by letter to a local company, and in reply received a list of questions that 1 would bo required to answer in writing beforo I could bo accepted. I bean to read tho questions, and before I got through readiug them threw down the paper in a raze. 1 then got my husband to inquire ainont all the companies in tho city to see if any of them would insure a woman on tho same general principles tbat it would a man, and ho found that tbey were all alike. This painful experience led me to make a study of the question 'of woman's health and lougevitv. 1 took the mortuary reports of Chicago and the tenth consns reports and made a thorough investigation, and the conclusion I reached and that anyone will reach who makes a study of tho subject was the woman was a far better risk than a man. Women are, as a fact, according to vital statistics, longer lived than men, and the reasons for it are not at all obscure. Women have not the vices of men and do not follow the dangerous callings, nor do the dangerous traveling that men do, nor live with the danuoroas surroundings of men. The pretext is that a woman's sex subjects her to serious and incessant peril, particularly in connection with maternity. But 1 have made a careful study of theso matters and am ready to prove that the theories on thisubject are negatived by the facts. Fven if theories wure correct the danger from this source would not be a tenth part as great as the dangers that men are exposed to on account of their sex and their habits. Our theory is tbat the discrimination of the life insurance companies agftinut woman is an unreasoning prejudice and a relic of her condition of subjection which has existed ever since Adam, and is ho slowly passing away even in this enlightened day. 1 have addressed communications to all the insurance journals in the country on this subject and they all sustain my position. Tho only objection offered to it washy a paper in California, which said the insurance of women's lives would lead to their being murdered by their husbands for the insurance money." LILLY ilYER'S MOTHER DONE UP Knocked Out In the Twenty-Third Hound, at Dana, 111., ly (leorp J.iivicjnp... Sthkatoh. 111., Fob. liThe match between Eddie Myer. of this city, brother of Billy Myer, and Georgo Lavigno, of Saginaw. Mich., was decided in an old skating rink in Dana, a small town on tho Santa Fo railroad, seventeen miles south of Streator, before an audience of three hundred, and resulted in Myer being knocked out in the twenty-thjrd round, by a blow on the chin. The fight was of the whirlwind order, each man evidently trying to make quick work of his opponent. Myer showed greater generalship than Lavisne, and numberless times escaped some of the latter's terriiio right-handem Myer hit Lavigne iu the mouth' in the first round and claimed ' first blood, but the claim was not allowed. In the third round Lavigne planted a scorcher on Myer's noso and first blood was allowed. In every rouud there was hot fighting, Myer playing for the face and Lavjguo hammering Myers stomach. It was anybody's tight up to tho twenty-third round. After sparring for a short time Lavigne struck Myer a heavy right-hand blow over the heart which stunned him and followed it up with another right-hander on the jaw. knocking Myer down, and he was counted out. Myer has not a mark on him to-day, while Lavigne's face is badly punished and ono eye swelled shut and badly cut. Large sums of money changed hands. The sherilf and six deputies started in sleighs to stop the light, but conveniently failed to reach Dana until after the lighters had returned to Streator. The ollicers say they are going to prosecute the principals, their backers andthe seconds, unless they change their minds. Corbett Will Men Jackson. Special to the Indianapolis JonroaL Milwaukke.

ThE FOWLER SHOOTING CASE. The lleYolrer Fouud la it Vault and tbe Suspected Wife Arrrsted. . ' EpeeiAl to tbe lDUanarolis JouraaL Fowleh, Iud., Feb. 12. In tho attempted murder of dnusist J. V. Fayne.yesterday, excitement has been iatonse to-day, continuing to grow, until the rumor connecting the name of Mrs. Payae with the crime became an open charge. At noon to-day this feeling caused such a pressure that it culminated in an examination of the Payne premises by an organized plan, which soon resulted in finding a thirty-two-caliber revolver, with one chamber empty, in an outhouse. Whilo this starch was going on tbe necessary papers for Mrs. Payne's arrest were boing prepared, and she was promptly arrested following thette proceedings. The deposition of Mr. Payne was taken by Justioe Long, and he gives some damaging evidence against the prisoner. He says that yesterday morning she had occasion to goto the outhouse, and started, but returned in a short time, saying she had forgot some papers. She took a bundle of papers with her. and the revolver was louud wrapped in about the same-sized bundle of paper. Mr. Payne's consent for a search which miuht Implicate his wife was given with reluctance, and only at the earnest solicitation of his father, and mother, and a cousin who are here from Montmorenci. The preliminary examination before Justioe Long was begun at 0 o'clock this eveniutr, but soon adjourned to 8 o'clock to-morrow morning. There is ample evidence to bind the prisoner over to the Circuit Court. The examination will be searcning, aud will probably implicate other parties. Such, at least, is the rumor. The victim of this foul attempt at assassination is still very low, with tho chances against him. The surgeons haye not yet located the ball, bat think It is in the long, near the heart. They have abaudoned further search altogether. It is a sad utiair for Fowler. WILL MAKE ANOT1IEU EFFOUT. Cleveland Wants Definite Action on the Silver Hill In the lions. Lakewood, N. J., Feb. 12,Josiah Quincy, who has been in Washington looking after silver legislation, came out from Mew York to-day on a special train and had a long talk with Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Don M. Dickinson. Mr. Quincy will probably return to Washington to make a hual effort for tho repeal of the Sherman silverpurchaso act at this session of Congress. Mr. Qninoy declined to say what will be done to get a vote on the silver bill in the liouso or what prospects thero are of any definite action being taken beforo adjournment. It was evident, however, that he does not consider the silver repeal hopeless at this session. Mr. Dickinson remained at Mr. Cleveland's cottage over Sunday, and will goto New York to-morrow morning. Among the oallers to-day were Nathan Straus, Georxo F. Parker and ex-Mayor liuah J. Grant, Mr. Cleveland will remaiu at Lakewood all of this week, unless private business calls him to town. lie will invitesuch men as he desires to see in connection with Cabinet or other high positions to visit him here, and in all probability the composition of his Cabinet will be definitely known before the end of the week. As yet co official announcements have been made regarding any one of the portfolios, either by Mr. Cleveland or the men who have been asked to oonie into the Cabinet. All reports have come from friends of the men whose names have been mentioned, and. . excepting Mr. Cleveland. probably not more than three men know definitely who have been asked, and who have accepted Cabinet positions. It is practically settled, howover, that Walter Q. Gresham has been oilered the portfolio of state and that he has accepted, and that John G. Carlisle will be Secretary of tho Treasury. These men have admitted enough to remove all doubt so far as they are concerned. As to tbe rumors concerning Mr. Wilson S. His sell, of Huttalo. Hoke Smith, of Georgia. Daniel 8. Lamont and 11. A. Herbert, of Alabama, nothing positive can be learned. The New York Times, which enjoys the distinction of being called Mr. Cleveland's personal .organ, to-day publishes the following names of Cabinet ollicers already elected by the President-elect: Secretary of State, Walter O. Gresham. of Indiana; Secretary of tbe Treasury. John G. Carlisle, of Keutncky; Fecretajy of War, Daniel S. Lamont. of New York; Postmasterfreneral. Wilson S. Bissell. of New 'Y6rk. The Times adds tbat Mr. Hisscirs letter of acceptance, if not already sent, will-bo mailed to Mr. Cleveland, at Lakewood, without delay.

THE DEEAD DISEASE READY Breath of tho Pestilential Cbolora Beginning Another Deadly Wave. Weather on the Continent Such as to Invite an Earl' Renaissance Gladstone Demonstration Expected To-Paj in London. WITH RENEWED ENERGY. After a Winter' Rest Cholera Is Ready to lleslu Again Its War on Mankind. London, Feb. 12. A tiny shadow, foretelling the great plague tbat is to be. haa fallen across the land. Just now it is no bigger than a man's band, but it is sure to grow daily, steadily, inevitably until it has shrouded all the continent in its deadly block. Not in one place alone has tbe attack been made, but as, if at a given signal, in threo widely dillerent countries tbe onslaught of cholera nas begun. From far away St. Petersburg comes the news, wholly expected of course, that ten persons have died of cholera with tbe cessation of the frobt. From Marseilles, under the warm sun of the Riviera, the plague has all the added horror of newness, and the people are trying hard to cover np the dead and to quiet tho fears of the living, for no hint of this must come to spoil the season of pleasure that this month brings there, liut worst of all, as directly aflecting; America, is the news from Hamburg. In the subnrb of Altona, a prisoner in jail has just died and live other cases are being closely watched. The port of Hamburg itself has not been allowed to escape. On board the steamers Kcho and Australia four sailors were stricken with the disease. The weather is moderating all over the continent and the warm sunshine is kissing back to life tbe cholera germs, bo next week promises to show a wider spread of the great plague. Meanwhile Vienna is sending invitations to all nations to an international health congress to formulate some plan of fighting the common foe, and in England, Southampton is begging Parliament to vote money to keep up a rigid Quarantine. The Choirra Conference. Berlin, Feb. 12. The negotiations as to the programme of tho international sanitary conference to consider precantions against cholera aro still in progress between Austria-Hungary and Germany. The report has been started from semi-otli-eial sources that the conference may take place before the end of this month. It seems hardly possible, however, that the arrangements can be completed within the next four weeks. Cholera specialists of world-wide celebrity and from all parts of Lurope are expected to be present. Eight Deaths from Cholera. Marseilles, Feb. 12. Between 6 o'clock last evening and 2 o'clock this afternoon eight persons died of cholera, and several fresh cases were taken to the hospital. Two patients were discharged as cured from the hospital.

GLADSTONE ALL IUGIIT. None the Wone for Ills Speech In the Honse of Commons Saturday. London. Feb. 12. Mr. Gladstone's friends were much opposed to his speaking in tbe House yesterday, as they wished him to save his strength for to-morrow. Their fears that he would exhaust himself, however, were groundless, for to-day Mr. Gladstone was feeliug as well as ever, went to church twice, and had tbe usual appetite. Thirty-seven questions which aro to come up in the Honse are likely to delay the introduction of the home-rule bill. The whips are urging the members to postpone their questions until later, so tbat Mr. Gladstone may be able to begin his speech as early as 4 o'clock. There is every prospect that a great street demonstration will be made during Mr. Gladstone's progress from his home to Westminster. In expectation of this demonstration a special police escort has been detailed to accompany Mr. Gladstone fiom Downing street to the House of Commons. GENERAL FUHEIGlf NEWS.
