Washington, June 16. In the diplo matic room of the state department, where four years and four months ago, In the closing hours of the Harrison administration, the first Hawaiian an nexation treaty was signed, only to be withdrawn from the senate by Presi dent Cleveland, the representatives ot the governments of trie United States and Hawaii signed this morning a treaty by which, if ratified, the little Is land republic will become part of the territory of the United States. Of the persons who stood In the room today three were present when the original. treaty wa3 signed, namely, Lorln Thurston, special commissioner, and Messrs. Adee and Crldler, assistant secretaries of state. The flrBt named, perhaps, took a. more sincere personal pleasure In the ceremony of this morn ing than any" of tha others, because of the stirring events of the last four years In which he was so directly con cerned. It Is a very unusual thing for a treaty of such Importance to be signed In the morning, but In this case It was desir ed that the convention be made ready early in order that It might be sub mitted to the senate on the day of its signature. Therefore, before 9 o'clock the per sons who were concerned In the prep aration of the treaty were all at the state department. For the United States there were Secretary Sherman, Messrs. Day, Adee and Crldler, assist ant secretaries; Private Secretary Bab cock and Mr. Gnytree, assistant pri vate secretary. HAWAH'S REPRESENTATIVES. 0n the Hawaiian side were Min ister Hatch, Lorln Thurston nnd A, W. Kinney, all for this particular oc casion accredited oa special commis sioners empowered to negotiate a treaty of annexation. After the formal greetings the credentials of the pleni potentiaries were scanned and record ed. Secretary Sherman alone repre Bented the United States In the signa ture of the convention, and It was part of the ceremony to record his author ization by the president, just as much as the credentials of the Hawaltans from President Dole. Then came the reading and comparison of the treaty. Of this there vvere two drafts, one to bo held by each, later on to be ex changed In the usual form. Altogether, It was twenty minutes after nine o'clock when all was ready for the slgnaturec. The Hawaiian representa tives had brought with them a gold pen In a plain holder, and at their re quest this was used -for nil of the signatures. Secretary Sherman signed first the the copy intended to be held here, while Minister Hatch signed flrbt the Ha waiian copy of the treaty, his Wow commissioners coming next In order Mr. Thurston .first,, followed by Mr. Kinney. The treaties were sealed by Assistant Secretary Crldler with a private seal carried on the watch chain, the copies' were handed to their respective custodians, and the treaty was made, as. far as the executive branch of the government could effect It. There was a general exchange of congratulations between the parties to the ceremony, and after ,a photograph had been taken of the commissioners the cerenwjny. was ended. Before the final signature of the docu ment a formal protest against the treaty of the Japanese government, through Its legation here, was present ed to Secretary Sherman. The protest Is understood to be based on appre hension that the special treaties now existing betweon Japan and Hawaii, under which the Japanese enjoy advan tages will bo affected injuriously, by complete annexation. THE TREATY." The treaty provides that the govern-. ment of the Hawaiian Islands cede to the United States absolutely and for ever all rlghtu of sovereignty In and over the Hawaiian Islands and Its de pendencies and that these Islands shall become an Integral part of the terri tory of the United States.

The treaty for the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands reached the senate chamber at 5 o'clock today. The senate at once went Into executive session and as soon as the door Were closed the message of Presl dnt McIClntay accompanying the treaty and the treaty Itself were read to thfe senate. They were attentively listened to. In one part ot the chamber there was a group of senators who will bitterly oppose the ratification of the treaty. Among them were Senators Gray, Mills, Pasco, White, Caffery, Pettigrew and McEnery. As soon as the reading of the documents was completed Senator Davis, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, moved that the message and treaty be made public. Senator Gray objected to a vote on tho motion and under the rules a single objection carried the mo tion over until tomorrow. Senator Davis gave notice that at the next exe cutive session he would press the mo tion for publication, as all the essen tial facts and an almost verbatim copy of the treaty has been published in the press of tho country. There was some discussion as to when thf treaty might be considered, and Senator White asked If It was the Intention to push It at this session and upon tho reply being made that It was possible, the California senator said: "I desire to announce that I am pre pared to stay here all summer to pre vent the ratification of the treaty which I consider a very had proposi tion." "I'l' Join you," said 'Senator Petti grew, of South Dakota. MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT. The message of the president was not a very long document. It dealt with historical facts concerning the Islands and showed that the United states and Hawaii yearly grew more closely bound to each other. This was not really annexation, he sold, but a con tinuation of existing relations with closer bonds between the people close ly related by blood and kindred. Since 1S20, said tho president, the predomin ance of the United States had been known. The sending of the first en voy there brought tho Islands In close relations with the United States and those relations had grown more firm by succeeding events. At the same time the Tripartite agreement was made for the government of Samoa, ho said, Great Britain wanted to In clude Hawaii In the group over which a protectorate was established but the suggestion was rejected by the United States because this government held that there already existed relations be tween Hawaii and the United States, which placed the Islands under tho especial care ot thin oountry and that this country could not allow any oth er country to Interfere In the affairs ot Hawaii. The annexation of the Is lams, said the president, and making them a part of the United States, was In accordance with the established pol icy of this country. BARNATO'S DAUGHTER'S STORY. Snys tho Diamond King Was Iiolng Followed by His First Wife Cleveland, O., June 16. In a two story frame building at 45 Perry street, lives Mrs. Jacob Blackman, a hand some woman, who claims to bo the daughter of Barney Hamate, Black man Is a cigar maker. Mrs. Blackman said to tho corres pondent tonight: "I believe Barnato killed himself to escape meeting his first wife, who recently started for South Africa to expose him and claim her rights. "Barney Barnato's real name was Barney Wolfe Bnlebetzkl. He was born In Yaglstoft, Sovalska, Russian Poland, forty-seven years ago. In that town he married my mother, and thy had four children, three sons and myself. "Some vears after his marriage my father suddenly disappeared from home In Poland. My mother traced him to Bristol, England, and Induced him to return home with her. When they reached Hamburg on thereturnjourney my father disappeared again. He re turned to Bristol, where he remained some time, managing a tailoring estab lishment, and sent monthly remittances to my mother. "Soon afterward my father disap peared aguln, and my mother ascertain ed that he had fion: to South Africa, where he was traveling under the name of Cohen. After a short stay In tho gold country he returned to England and told fabulous tales of the riches of that part of the world. "He had considerable money at that time My mother made a second trip to England, but she was too late to see my father, who had returned to South Africa. "Soon after that our family came to tho United States. My mother vowed that If she could ever get enough money together she would go to South Africa and hunt my father down. "Several months ago we employed a detective on the case. After an Inves tigation he advised my mother to go to Johannesburg and prove her claim to a share of Barnato's wealth. She sailed for that count! six weeks ago." Mrs. Blackman has not heard from her mother since she left this country, but believes Mrs. Balebetzkl had met Barnato and demanded hor rights as his lawful wife. They think that Barnato, being In formed by her that she had the proof, set sail for England to escape her for the time being, and thet the fear of ex posure so weighed on his mind that he sought escape In death. Mrs. Blackman expressed the utmost confidence in her ability to establish her claim as an heir of Barnato, She says her father had certain peculiar marks on his body which she would be able to recognize at a glance. Mrs. Blackman and her husband ex pect to start for England next week. MAIL FRAUDS CAGED. The Postal Detectives Make an Import ant HaulCareer of the Slippery Uackets. Philadelphia, June 16. W. II. Gil more, alias Thomas W. Hackett, alias Breckinridge, nnd wife, and Mrs. Lu clnda Hackett, are In Jail In this city, where they will remain until their trial Is called at Erie at the fall term ot court, where they are wanted to an swer to the charge of using the malls lor fraudulent purposes. The trio were arrested at their rooms, No. 418 Forster street, Harrlsburg, on Monday after noon, and. after a hearing before United States Commissioner Wolf, who held them In $1,000 ball each to await re quisition papers, they were turned over to the Philadelphia authorities. W. J. Mehary, a detective In the postofllcs Inspector's office, who made the arre3t, says it Is the most Import ant haul that has been made for sev eral years. He states that their work has caused more trouble for tho United States Inspectors throughout the cen tral and New England states thanany band of criminals the department has had to deal with. As far back as 1893 the department In this city began to receive complaints about a man named Brecklnrldgevho, It was claimed, was fraudulently s. ? tilng alms for charitable persons nnd Institutions throughout the state. Several persons In this city pur chased tickets from Breckinridge for a kcturo which was said, would be held in this city "for the purpose of getting Luclnda Hackett In the home for old soldler.V widows. Tho lecture never took place and Breckinridge myster iously disappeared. They next turned up In Niagara Falls In the latter part of February, 1851, and worked the same kind of a game there, but managed to get out of town before being caught. They were next heard from In Jer sey City where they were arrested on May 31. By this time they had changed their names to Hackett. They wero held In $100 ball each, but before their trial came up they skipped out. They had worked the same gamo In Jersey City. Nothing further was heard of them until January, 1895, when they were ar rested by Inspector Ryan, of the New York postal department They wero taken to Utlca. tried and convicted, Judge Cox sentencing each to ono year In Jail. When their sentence expired the trio went to Sharon, Pa. From there they sent letters to persons In Milwaukee, Philadelphia and other cities asking for money to come to the .different places claiming each as their home. They got considerable cash and left the town, locating In Homewood, Pa., and finally Harrlsburg. Their orrest was brought about by James H. Fahnestock, treasurer of tho International Navigation company, who, In his endeavor to aid the "desti tute family" secured passes from the Pennsylvania railroad for them to this otty. They left the train at Harrlsburg and Gllmore tried to have the tickets redeemed. Of courso this was not done and the agent at Homewood was com municated with. He stated that Gll more had ordered his letters sent to 418 Forster street. Harrlsburg. It waa this letter that caused the arrest of the trio. SHERMAN MAY SOON RESIQN. Hor.
