HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION FLANS Sixteen Populists and Democrats Unite with Republicans in the House on the Hawaiian Cablo .Measure. By the United Tress. Washington. Feb. 21. The Indian ap propriation bill was considered In the senute today for about live hours, and thirteen additional pages of It were dis posed of, leaving seventeen pages for tomorrow. The reason why greater progress was not inude was that a dis puted item of SSS5 for beef cattle furn ished to some Indians was talked over for almost two hours; and that the Indian school question, which comes up inevitably on every such appropria tion bill, was discussed for a still longer period of time. The committee on ap propriations had reported an amend ment to strike out the two Items for the maintenance and education of Indian children at Hampton, Va., and nt the Uncoln institution, at Philadelphia, on the ground that these were denomina tional schools (1'rotestant) and that, as other denominational Indian sen J l were to be abandoned, there should be no discrimination in favor of those two. The result of the struggle was, how ever, the defeat of the committeemen on appropriations and the retention in the bill of the two items for those school. At 6 p. m. a recess was taken for two hours the evening session to be for the consideration of u bill authorising the issue of bonds to the amount of J7,50. 000 for the extension of the sewer sys tem of the city of Washington. The resolution for such recess was antago nized in the morning hour by Mr. Allen (Nebraska), who. In the course of his remarks, asserted that the secretary of the treasury had no authority in law to issue the bonds provided for recent ly; that the law under which he claimed such authority had been repealed; and that such bonds It contested in the courts, would be held to be void. He characterized the attempt to pass a silver coinage bill last Tuesday as a mere "spectacular performance." and he read, with much satisfaction, some newspaper intimations naming Sen ators.

Jessie Alshouse, a Pittsburg Heiress, Ab ducted by a Strungo Young Man-No Clue to the Missing Girl. By the United Press. Pittsburg, Feb. 21. Jessie Alshouse, an unusually bright and handsome pupil of the Shai psliurg public school, has been abducted, and her adopted parents believe that she Is being held for a ransom. Jessie Is an orphan, 12 years of age, and is heiress to consid erable property. She is unusually large and well de veloped, and with her intelligence would readily be taken to be three years older. On Monday afternoon a young man called nt the school and asked permis sion of Jessie's teacher to take the girl to her aunt, Mrs. Mary Cuslck,- who lives in Allegheny. He said Mrs. Cuslck was alarmingly 111. and wanted to see Jessie without delay. Jessie seemed to know Hie young man, und went with him without any reluctance. Upon the death of her parents, sev eral years ago, Jessie was adopted by the family of John Overbeck, at Sharps burg. When she did not return from school as usual the family became alarmed, and learned that she had been taken away as stated. When they sent to the house of Mrs. Cuslck, In Alle gheny, Jessie had not been there, and had not been summoned by her aunt. The matter was kept very quiet in the hope that Jessie would return the fol lowing day. The case was placed In the hands of a detective, who hopes to find the missing girl; but is handicapped badly, as no one at the school Is able to give a good description of the young man who called for her. The Overbeck family can ascribe but one motive for Jessie's abduction, and that was to secure the property which she will Inherit. As she was docile and obedient In every way, the family cannot believe thnt she would willingly remain absent by her own will. Mrs. Cuslck, the girl's aunt, is the legally constituted guardian, and 3. O. Barnes, publisher of the Springfield Record, Is executor of the estate of the late Henry Alshouse. The affair has created in tense excitement, and should her ab duotor be captured In or near the town, he would be lucky to escape with his life. LIVELY CONVENTION.
