Substantial Frogress Made TFowerds an Agree- ment—A Formal Conclusion of the Matter May be Leoked for Some Time Next Week. WasHINGTON, ‘February 12.—It is stated to-night that the Hawaiian An- nexation Commissioners and Secretary Foster have made substantial progress towards an agreement upon a basis for bringing the islands within the territo- ry of the United States. It is believed that as the conference yesterday afternoon most of, it not all, the points under consideration were in- corporated in the text of the protocols. These points are more numerous and perplexing than anight be imagined at first, and they preset several questions which have mever before been con- sidered even in tbe history of this country. Hawaii has a ‘full-fledged govern: ment in existence, and the disposition of tire several branches thereof, with their almost infinite ramifications into the life and business of the country, is a problem that requires patience and research for itssolving. Tue revenues: of the country are de- rived from various sources. There are the customs dues, postal revenues, the tax on real estate and personal proper- ty, the levy amounting to one per cent- ou the assessed valuation without dis tinction of class; fees for ‘dealers’ li- ceases, rents of government lands and of the wharf and dock privileges of the several ports. These comprise the principal items. ‘How to divide them between the .general government and the local government is a difficult ques- tion, POINTES: TO BE DECIDED. What differences were experienced an this point.it is believed have been harmoanized.and a practical conclusion of the conterences is looked for early in the weék., But the date of the of- ficial adjourament will probably de- pend wponitke arrival of the represen- tatives of the deposed Queen Lilinoka- lani. as the earliest ime when a formal con- clusion of the matter by the State De- partment officials may be looked for. be recommended by the Executive, the be decided.

Another meeting of the commissson- ers and Secretary Foster will be held at the State Department to-morrow. To Probe Panama Fraud. Tke Congressional Committee Will Meet in New York Te day. New York, ¥Fcb. 12 —The Congres- sional Committee which is looking to the American end of the Panama Canal enterprise will meet in the Post Office Building to morrow afternoon. Colonel Feliows, chairman of the com- mittee, announced in Washington on Saturday that unless Messrs. Boyard, Seligman, Appleton and Adams appear before the committee to-morrow he will apply to the House for authority to order their arrest. Mr. Bayard wae not found tc-day. Jesse Seligman, seen at his residence, said : “They can’t.charge us with con- tempt until we fail to obey the sum- ;mons, We have mot yet received a summons. All thet I know about the House Committee investigation is what J have read that thecommittee was to meet at certain times and places and that we were expected to appear before it. That is vot sufficient notice for us. I have heard wothing official about the meeting in the Post Office to-morrow. All I know about is what I have heard irom the newspapers. When I get a summons I will go.” etatenent of Representative Geary at the committee meeting Saturday that he had been examining the “blotter” and had discovered, as he believed, that £19,500 instead of $5000 had been paid to the Colonel as counsel. .Colo- nel Ingersoll says: “I could not tell, without making a close examination of my books, how much I did receive. I don’t think, however, it was either of the sums mentioned. I have not any idea of the exact amount. sScheol Girls Lured to Ruin. Warrants Baid to Be Out for Several Shawoiin Business Mex. SuaMoxkiN, February 12.—It is stated that warrants have been issued to day for the arrest of thirty-five men promi- nent iz business circles here as a coa- sequence of the confession made by a school girl. In accounting to her fath- er for au unucually prolonged absence from home she admitted that she and many other High School pupils had been decoyed by a married woman at Sunbury and in her home introduced to the business men now under shadow of arrest.

Ingersollread the: ‘Cleveland’s Cabinet. Gresham, Bissell and Smith Send Letters of Ac- ceptanee— Five Places Now Disposed of— Bis sell Will Mest Probably bn the Next Postmas- ter General, President-elect Cleveland was iu an un- usually good frame of mind today. Yesterday's mail brought to the “Little White House’ three important letters. The first was a letter from Judge Wal- folio ; the second was from Wilson S. Bissell, of Bufialo, Mr. Cleveland's for- mer law partner, accepting the position, it is ‘believed, of Postmaster General, aad the third was trom Hoke Smith, of the Atlanta (Ga.) Journal, accepting the Agricultural Department portfolio. This statement is authoritative and comes from one who has seen the let- ters and has had a long talk with Mr. Cleveland. Iv was simply a strange coinci- dence that these three letiers reached Mr. Cleveland at one time. Those of Judge Gresham and Mr. Bissell reached Lakewood on Saturday morn- ing just after Mr. Cleveland left for New York, Editor Smith’s arrived here on Sat- urday night, and consequently reached Mr. Cleveland’s hands at the same time the other two did. These letters were very brief and to the point; that of Hoke Smith being the shortest. It is quite possible that Bissell and Smith will call in person upon Mr. Cleveland during the the present week. BISSELL TO SUCCEED WANAMAKER. At is not known positively just what portfolio has been tendered and accep- ted by Mr. Bissell, but it appears to be a settled fact among those who have the confidence of Mr. Cleveland that Mr. Bissell will gointo the Post Office Department. It this be true it must be taken for granted that Isadore Straus, who was tendered this position by Mr. Cleveland has deciined it. Both of Mr. Straus’ brothers, who are at the Lakewood Hotel to-night, asked to be excused from an interview, saying at the same time that they did not know anything concerning Isadore’s private affairs, It is a well-known fact that Mr. Cleveland some time ago decided upon | having his ex-law partner in his Cab- inet. When this information got out it was thought that Mr. Bissell would be given the Attorney General porifolio. From the best information obtainable | to-night itis quite positive that Mr. Cleveland has altered his plans and pleced Mr. Bissell in the Post Otlige «Department instead. .Mr. Bissell not only stands high in the legal profession, but he is a sagacieus and successful business man with an executive capacity that is remarkable. His acceptance of the honor tendered bin by President-elect Cleveland will cause some surprise, for the reason that he has persistently declined to take public office of any kind, and his large law practice and other busiuess inter- | ests have engrossed his entire time and | atteation. ; “THE AGRICULTURAL PORTFOLIO. As regards Hoke Smith itis claimed by those in a position to know that Mr, Cleveland bas given him the Agricul tural portfolio. Mr. Cieveland has been desirous of recognizing the South in his Cabinet, and it is claimed that the selection of Editor Smith will meet with ¢he approval of the Southerners. Me. Smith was an out and out Cleve- land man during the campaign, while Clark Howell, of the Atlanta Constitu- tion, was a Hill man. Mr. Smith has Cabinet possibility and claimed that he Mr. Cleveland. This may be true so far as the cor- respoudence goes, but there are several persons in Lakewood to night who say that overtures were made with the Southern editor come months ago and that he was offered the Agricultural portfolio at least two weeks ago. The acceptance of Gresham, Bissell and Smith now leave but three vacan- cies in the Cabinet, they being Secreta. ry of the Interior, Attorney General and Secretary of the Navy. It is quite positive that Mr. Cleveland has made no selection for:these positions as yet. He will undoubtedly take a few days’ rest before starting in upon finishing his Cabinet. HOW THE SLATE IS FIGURED NOW, As the slate now stands it is as fol- lows : GaesHAM, of Indiana. SECRETARY oF TREASURY—THOMAS ‘CARLISLE, of Kentucky. SECRETARY OF WAR—DANIEL La- yoxT, of New York. PosTMASTER GENERAL—WILSON S, BissgLL, of New York. SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE —HOKE Smirk, of Georgia. Lt is quite probable that Hilary Her- bert of Alabama, may capture the Na- vy portfolio. Mr. Herbert is the chair- man of the naval committee in the House, and it is said that Mr. Cleve. land has his name under advisement. MR. CLEVELAND'S CALLERS. A special train from New York this morniug brought Josiah Quincy, of Boston, here. Mr. Quincy went direct to the Cleveland cottage, where he was closeted with the President elect and Don Dickinson fcr several hours. At the conclusion of the interview Mr, Quincy boarded the special and re. { turned to New York. { Mr. Cieveland refused to say what wae Mr. Quincy’s business here. He said that Mr. Quincy was in New York on business and took the opportunity ! to run down to Lakewood for the day, This was the first time this year that { a train has been run from Jersey City ! | here on Su:day.

Mr. Dickinson returns to the city to-morrow and Mr. Cleveland remains here, Dr. Norvin Green Dead. IIc Suffered for Some Time from Bowel Com- plaint.—The President df ‘the Western Union Telegraph Company Dies at His Home in Louisville, Ky. ¢ LouisviLLE, Feb. 12.—Dr, Norvin Green, president of the Western Union Telegraph Company,died at his home in this city at 7.30 o’clock this morning. His death was caused by bowel com- plaint, from which he had been an acute sufferer for one week. He had not been well for several years. Six weeks ago he sought rest in the seclusion of his Louisville home. One week ago to-day he was taken suddenly ill with diarrbeea and failed steadily. . Norvin Green was bornin New Al- bany, Ind., just across the Ohio river from Louisville, April 17, 1818. He re- ceived a country school education, was graduated from the University of Louis- ville with the degree of M. D. in 1840, and married Miss Martha English, of Carroll county, in the following year. He gained some political influence and in 1853 was appointed disbursing agent for the Custom House then in process of erection here. His interest in the tele- graph matters began a year later, when he furmed a syndicate to purchase the almost bankrupt People’s New Orleans and Cincinnati telegraph lines. His fine organizing ability was soon shown by the payment of dividends, the first ever declared in the telegraph busi- ness. He directed the Western Union deal whick merged every American line in that company. Upon the death of President William Orton, Norvin Green was chosen unanimously to succeed him. Ever sinee that time, 1877, he has con- tinued to fill the position. He leaves a widow and six children The funeral will take place here Thursday. Mr. Blaine's Brief Will, 7% fata Estate Practically Given to Iie ife. Avcusta, Me., Feb. 13.—The will of the late Hon. James G. Blaine was presented for probate to day. executed at Washington, D. C.. Satur- day, January 7, 1893, only 20 days be- fore his death, an indication that only about that time had Mr. Blaine be- come persuaded that dissolution was imminent* The will gives practically his entire estate to his wife, Harriet Si; in fee simple. Mrs. Blaine is also named as executrix, and it is requested by the testator that no bond be required of her tor the performance of her duty as exe- cutrix. The will is witnessed bv W. W. | Johneon, Elizabeth Price and Eliza- beth McKewen, presumably Mr. Blainé’s physician and nurses. Some surprise has been expressed that, with his extensive financial inter- ests ard his knowledge of affairs, Mr. Blaine, despite his long continued ill- ness, should have delayed to so late a day the making of a testamentary dis- position of his estate. Mr. Blaine’s children—Mrs. Dam- rosch, Miss Harriet and James G., Jr., are bequeathed $50 apiece, and three of his grandchildren—Emmons Blaine, Blaine Coppinger and Corwin Copping- er—§25 each. No provision is made for James G. Blaine 3d, son of James G., Jr. Officially Announced. No More Doubt About Four Members of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet. Lazewoon, N. J., Feb, 14.—Mr. Cleveland officially announced the names of four members of his cabinet through the United Prees this even- ing. They are: Walter Q. Gresham, of Indiana, secretary of state ; John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, secretary of the treasury, Daniel S. Lamont, of New York, secretary of war, and Wiison B. Bissell, of Buffalo, postmaster general. On making this announcement Mr. Clevoland said: *“There is no need of any mystery in regard to the cabinet and it is useless to speculate and in. dulge in guess work. I shall make no secret of the matter but shall announce the names of the gentlemen selected to fill the positions as fast as I receive their permission to make the matter public.” Rockafellow’s Broken Bank, The Liabilities Will Reach $342,000, With Assets of Only $20,000. ‘WILKESBARRE. February, 14.—There was no little excitement here to-night among the seven bundred depositors of the broken bank of F. V. Rockfellow & Co. when it became known that the to- tal liabilities will reace $342,000, while the entire assets will scarcely foot up $20,000. It looks now as though the wreck was a complete one and that the depositors will be lucky if they receive over eight per cent, of their money. Attorney E. P. Darling during his life was 8 member of the firm for many years and up to the time of his death. It is claimed that his estate, which isa large one, may become involved before the matter is fully settled. Corbett Ready for a Match. His Check for Ten Thousand Dollars Now Ready.

If he should fail in this, terms will be made with Peter Jackson for a fight for $10,000 a side. Corbett offers to bet $25.000 to It was: His Record Cleared. Roland Pa. Hox. P. Gray MEEK, Feb. 7th, 1893. Please publish the the enclosed “clipping” taken from the Press of Pittsburg. Lt. Ed. Nixon had many friends in this county and some of his company resiae here. I want tosee the vindication spread abroad, it was a long time coming and it will do him no good as he is in his grave but his friends will be glad to know that his character as a good soldier is cleared. Austiy CURTIN. The committee on military affairs has reported favorably the bill intro. duced by Congressmen Hopkins revok- ing the order dismissing Lieut. Edwin 8S. Nixon of Company E, Seventh Pennsylvania cavalry, and to correct the records of the department to show the removal of the order of dismissal against Dixon. This report brings to the surface a somewhat interesting story of the experiences 6f Lieut. Nix- on. He had charge in 1864 of block houses Nos. 3, 4 and 5, near Columbia, Tenn., and surrendered to the confed- erates without firing a gun, also sur- rendering his command and 116 men, also the records of the department say he endeavored to induce the officers and men guarding other blockhouses of the same kind to surrender. This event led to the dismissal of Nixon by Assistant Adjutant General Townsend, under direction of the president. Col. William B. Sipes, of the Seventh Penn- sylvania cavalry, commanding the post at Columbia, in his report charges Nixon with having ‘acted cowardly and treacherously in surrendering his blockhouses; and he had no excuse whatever for doing, as he was well sup- plied with ammunition and rations, and his blockhouses were entirely de- fensible, his garrisons brave and will- ing to fight to the last.” The com- mittee, however, suggests that Col. Sipes evidently based his conclusions on the report of Lieut. Kramer, of the Sixty-eighth New York regiment, who was not present, and seems to have made his report without official intor- matica- Nixon's friends claim that if anybody is to blame it is Col. Sipes, who failed to send him re-enforcements and ammunition in spite of the fact that his men numbered only about 100 and were many of them convalescing soldiers, while the force surrounding his blockhouse numbered nearly 3,000 under Gen. Forrest. The committee decided to report favorably on the bill removing from tne records of the war department the charges upon which { he was dismissed and say : “From the above statement of tacts gathered from war records and the affidavits of men who were present at the time, and from the statement of Lieut. Nixon, who is now deceased, being killed in a rail road accident in 1890, and from the further fact, according to the records in the war department, your commit. tee finds that Lieut. Nixon and his men were taken prisoners, held by the confederates as prisoners ot war, and were exchanged as such April 8, 1865, during which time, contrary to all law or justice, Lieut. Nixon was dis- honorably discharged from: the service without any opportunity to be heard in person, or by anyone in his behalf, and then, notwithstanding the fact that he was dismissed trom the United States service, the war department ex- changed a confederate prisoner for him.” Kansas Populists and Republicans Fig- ure in a Riot. The Strongest Side Will Win—~The Populists Took Possession of the Legislative Hall—Door Keeper Miller Attempted to Break Through the Line and Was Worsted. Topeka, Kas, February 15.—The long controversy between the republican and populist house came to a crisis this morning and an open riot followed. The republicans battered down the doors of representative hall and foreiblo took possession. The trouble began at 9 o'clock. At that time the stairs leading to the main entrance were guarded by a dozen of populists, It was the intention of the popu- lists to admit all the members of the republican party, but the em ployes of that body and all visitors were tu be excluded. Three men stood on the bot- tom step and refused to allow any one to pass. All day the republicans had the house and to-night they ure in camp. People are bringing in provisions, but the pop- ulists have cut off the steam, lights and water and the hall is almost in total darkness. A few candles and lamps flicker here and there on the member's seats, having been contracted for by cit- izens. It is believed now that to-mor- row when all the troops arrive the gov- ernor will order the republicans to leave the hall ; that they will obey and set up a house in some other room. State mil- itia surrounds the capitol, and no one without a pass from the adjutant gener- eral can get in. Governor Lewelling said in an interview to-night that the law would be vindicated and that the populist house would have to stand as the legally organized body. Smith Did Accept. Lakewoop,. N. J., February 15.— Mr. Cleveland announces the’ name of the fifth member of his cabinet this even- ing. It is that of Hoke Smith, of Geor- gia, for secretary’ of the interior. In making the announcement Mr. Cleve- land said: “I met Mr. Hoke Smith, of Georgia, in my office in New York to- day. He called at my request. TI of- fered him the position of secretary of the interior. He accepted. I wish to say that I have not written t0 him or received any communications from him and that to-day was thefirst time I have seen him since the election.” A ads ST * VF “Senator Carlisle's Successor.

Huntingdon Reformatory. Report of the Jury Which was Instructed to In- vestigate It. HusTINGDON, February 15.—The Grand jury directed by Judge Furst yesterday to make an investigation into the management of the Huntingdon. Lodustrial reformatory, and particular- ly as tq the means afforded for their physical, intellectual and moral instruc- tion, reported to the court to-day.

Opportunities are given the most proficient to study the higher branches. The common school branches are generally taught. The hbrary contains 2,000 volumes and each boy is allowed one book a week. Such magazines and papers as the manage- ment approve of are also furnished the inmates. Chaplain Forgeus holds Sun- day school every Sunday, the atten- dance being voluntary. On Sunday af- ternoon public services are held, at which every inmate is required to be present. Masses and confessions for the Roman Catholic inmates are held.
