TO PAY THE QUEEN. THE ANNEXATION MESSAGE BEFORE CONGRESS. An Extra Sessiuu Will lie Called if the Sherman Act I* Not Repealed—The Pros pective Secretary Has No Fear of a Gold Crisis —The Government Is Prepared. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—The Nicaragua canal bill, though having the advantage of being the unfinished business, had to give way in the senate to the sundry civil ap propriation bill. All the amendments to that bill reported by the committee on ap propriations (including the World's fair items) were disposed of, with theexceptiou of the series relating to river and harbor improvements, and these were in the full tide of debate when the president's Ha waiian message was delivered. Then, with out the delay of a minute, the senate 011 Mr. Sherman's motion went into executive session. The President'* Message ou Hawaii. The president sent a message to the sen ate recommeudlng the annexation of the Hawaiian islands to the United States. It is accompanied by a treaty of annexa tion, concluded between the secretary of state and the Hawaiian commissioners, and a mass of correspondence relating to the question at issue. The treaty is brief, providing merely for the annexation of the islands under the present provisional gov ernment, and leaving the details of the permauent form of government, etc., to the action of congress. The correspond ence is very voluminous, going back many years, and gives a complete history of the islands so far as negotiations with the the United States are concerned. Con trary to general expectation, the senate in executive session declined to make the treaty public immediately, but decided to first have the message and documents printed for the confidential information of senators. •20,000 Annually to tlie Queen. The laws of the United States which are in force in Alaska are extended to Hawaii. The deposed queen is to receive from the United States 130,000 a year, and the royal family, and especially the heiress appar ent to the throne, are to be fully cared for. The Chinese problem is disposed of by making it impossible for any of the Chi nese now on the islands to come into the United States. As far as the debts of Hawaii are con cerned, the treaty proposes that the United States shall assume them, but shall receive in return the various incomes of the is lands, amounting, it is said, to about flO,- 000,000 a year. Foster and Carlisle Confer. Mr. Carlisle has been in conference with Secretary Foster. It is understood that Mr. Carlisle has received instructions for a bond issue and is now getting pointers from Secretary Foster. Mr. Carlisle said that he could not see any occasion for ap prehension in financial circles, as the gov ernment would not allow gold to go to a premium. "My course as secretary is perfectly plain," he said to a friend. "One of my first official steps will be to issue bonds, and this will be followed by a special ses sion of congress. The Sherman act will then be repealed." It would surprise no one familiar with Mr. Foster's plans to see a bond issue made as soon as the Sherman enabling act passes both houses. The Sherman enabling act will probably be passed as an Amendment to the sundry civil bill in the senute. AN AMERICAN VATICAN. Movement by Eminent Catholics to Pro vide a Residence For Mgr. Sfttollt. NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—Austin E. Ford, \ editor of the New York Freeman's Journal, ' received an important dispatch, from a Roman Catholic standpoint, from the Very Rev. Patrick Cronin, editor of The Catho lic Union, Buffalo. The message informed Mr. Ford that Bishop Ryan of Buffalo has consented to act as treasurer of the apos tolic delegation building fund, the object of which is to defray the expense of erect lug headquarters for Mgr. Satolli. Mr. Ford said the last intelligence from Rome has virtually ended all controversy as to the status of Mgr. Satolli, and to question his authority now is simply to give affront to Ijeo XIII in persou, who ratified all the acts and opinions publicly announced by his representative. A WONDERFUL REVIVAL. Great Religious Enthusiasm In Which All Denominations Join. PKEKBKILL, N. Y., Feb. 17.—The Rev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, John Wanamak er's former pastor, closed his two weeks' revival at the Depew Opera House last night amid a grand burst of gospel hymns and a tremendous chorus of amens. Not even the gaudiest barn storming ballet troop ever drew such an audience. Converted sinners stood shoulder to shoulder with lifelong Christians, and young and old, • rich and poor, sang "Hold the Fort!" and "Come to Jesus" with an energy which sent the echoes flying from one snow clad hill to another. A Father's Deatli Discloses a Son's Acts. HAYDENVILLE, Mass., Feb. 18.—The re cent death of B. S. Johnson has brought to light the fact that his son, Horace 8., who died in October, 1891, was a defaulter to the amount of $11,662fr0m the Haydenville Savings bank, in which he was a clerk. The death of the father, who was organizer and treasurer of the bank, revealed the fact that he left no property and that it was all deeded to cover up the defalcations of his sou. Norwich Gets a Doom. NORWICH, Conn., Feb. £2.—New York parties have bought the Versailles woolen mill property iu the town of Sprague and will establish a plant for making hospital supplies.

Coy to Be Hanged Friday. BOSTON, Feb. 22.—The petition of Wil liam Coy, the Pittsfield murderer, for a writ of error was heard by the full bench of the supreme court, and a decision was rendered denying it. Coy will therefore be hanged on Feb. 24. Died From Cigarette Smoking. BROOKLYN. Feb. 20. F. W.

Hugh Dugan and wife were here , among acquaintances last week. Charles Grossman, of Hazleton, was in town on business last week. It is said a would-be highwayman was neatly trapped by one of our citizens on Saturday evening. He said he was only fooling, but lie should be exposed. If his intended victim bad been a Hun, the probabilities are that another rob bery would have been committed. Our citizens are anxiously waiting for that elecric road. They think the ordin j anoe sent out very good, especially that part of it which limits the time to one j year. We hope it will he accepted. The depots for passengers to wait for | trains here are an outrage on civilization. "Not fit for a beast," would be a proper monogram to have on them this weather. Mrs. O'Donnell made a flying trip to 1 Duryea on Saturday. The collieries were all idle yesterday, I it being Washington's birthday. John Gallagher, of Birvanton, lias ac cented a position as pumpman at No. 2 slope. He took a hold on Tuesday. Mr. Fisher moved his family to Jeddo on Tuesday. John H. Boyle, it is said, will give out the contract for the building of a fine residence at Alvinton in the near future. Some of our Drifton friends think it strange that tlie collieries work here and that they are idle in Drifton. It didn't used to be so. Did it? Court Records Stolen. A sensation was created at Mauch ' Chunk on Tuesday by the discovery that one of the quarter session court dockets had been stolen from tlie protlionotary's ! office since Saturday last. On that i morning an article appeared in tlie Democrat, calling attention to certain costs that had been paid into the county treasury by the present prothonotary, which he had collected at different times in criminal cases, and that no such costs ! had ever been paid over or accounted for by his predecessor. The publication amounted to an accusation of embezzle- j ment. The docket containing the ac- 1 counts of such costs collected is the one i said to be stolen. To Work in Jeddo Tunnel. | Yesterday morning fiye colored men 1 passed over the Highland branch bound , for Kbervale, where they will be em ployed in tlie Jeddo tunnel.

AS BAD AS PAINTED SO SAYS WARNER OF THE HORRORS OF THE SWEATING SYSTEM. Result of the Investigation of tlie Com mittee of Congress—A Breeder of Con tagious Diseases —A Solution Must Soon lie Found. Representative Warner, of New York, the chairman of the subcommittee of the houso committee 011 manufactures, ( which was directed to inquire into the j sweating system, was interviewed in I Washington recently. The investiga- I tiou has been prosecuted in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and Cin- I cinnati. It is stated that in the cities of | Cincinnati and Philadelphia the sweat | ing system is more prevalent and the conditions surrounding it more unfavor able than in the other cities. Mr. War ner was asked how the conditions in New York compared with those in Bos ton and Chicago. lie said: ! "They are so similar as to bo scarcely dis tinguishable, except as modified by the differ- ! ent conditions of the several cities. In Chicago, j for example, this sweating business Is carried ; on in quarters where the streets are practically ' bottomless and the buildings are rotten und disgusting, as well as inadequate and unfitted ] for human occupants. These buildings are j ; generally frame and two stories in height, with , I basements, generally below the sidewalk. ! Ilenco there is nothing like that possibility of j crowding that there would be were those quar- 1 ters more closely und substantially built up; ; The conditions of the sweating industry there, i however, are as disgusting and the liability to contagious and epidemic diseases as great as in Now York. In Boston the industry seems 10 be carried on almost exclusively in extremely ] old but fairly substantial buildings in the most crowded quarters, so that while the municipal j conditions are better tho result is an even greater liability to contagion in tlie more limit- j I ed area covered. j "in New York tlie streets are, as a whole, ! much better paved and cared for than in Chi- I cago, and much more spacious and afford more : i breathing room than in Boston. While tho j tenements in New York are, on tho one 1 hand, far more liko human hives tlian those in Chicago and Boston, they are more recently and solidly built, and therefore, 011 the average, : much less squalid and uncomfortable. Tho liu- 1 man conditions are practically identical, and , the general result varies only by essential local ' conditions." "As to dangerous contagion there Is equally little distinction. In Chicago wo saw tho scar let fever signs posted up where tho sweating system had been carried on and In a neighbor- 1 hood where it was still being prosecuted. In 1 Boston wo stumbled into proximity with tho disease in a room where tlie household manu facturing ot clot king was going on. it was not occupied by the same family, but it opened ; upon the same corridor. In New York one of tho inost typical instances was where we found 1 poor wretches working under tho most filthy conditions at 10 o'clock Sunday night, when in the next block to them typhus hud broken out only last summer. "The members of the committee arrived hero yesterday," continued Air. Warner, "and ex pect that they will complete taking the tcsti- ! mony today, and then it will make Its report | at the earliest possible moment." "What is tlie general result of your invest!- I gat ion?" WHS the next question. "We have," replied Air. Warner, "verified, j not merely as instances, but u.S a general con- , dit ion, tho worst that has been alleged. But, with one exception, we have no proof of im- 1 morality, and, speaking for myself, I have tho greatest respect for tho manliness and the vo -1 manliness of the persons employed. From the j j testimony taken wo find repeated instances j j where at 0 and 10 o'clock at night the opeia tives were still continuing their work. They had begun their work at 5 or 0 a. m., and the so called sweater or boss worked along with j them, bringing work for them the next morn- ■ ing. It was not unusual to flud eight or an people with their machines crowded into a J'-' by 10-foot room. In tho majority of cases the living room of a family was connected with the shop, and garments finished and unfinished j were scattered about indiscriminately. "Of ehild labor I personally saw but few in- ' stances, but I did see a little girl about eight years of age at 0:00 in tlie evening dragging along u bundle which she was physically un- : able to carry and acting as a human express 1 for tho transfer of goods. Children in very | condition of filth and heulth swarmed in most 1 of tho shops. In the lost one we visited every one had gone except two wornout fellows, who I had mude a pile of tho bundles of goods ready 1 to be made up, upon which, without bed- j clothes, they proposed to sleep without change j of the filthy condition of their persons or their clothes. Tho 'sweater' and the 'sweated' per fectly agreed as to tho miserably low wages paid. "It was shown conclusively by the witnesses that the evil was not diminishing in any of tho largo clothing centers with tho exception of Boston, where tho state laws have been so ef fectively enforced as to lessen It to a great ex tent." Tlio public is not so much interested j now us it was a few months ago in tho sweating system. Immigration is the fad j of tho press for the moment. It is prob- ■ able, however, that when Mr. Warner's j committee presents its report to congress | the sweater and the sweated will again i command attention. It remains to bo i seen whether anything in the way of re- ■ lief or attempted relief will bo under- j taken by the powers that be. In an editorial commenting upon the statements made by Mr. Warner tlie Pittsburg Dispatch makes use of tho fol lowing language: That human beings should bo worked to death on starvation wages and surroutilings that are a direct encouragement to the rropa gat ion of disease In any civilized country atv the close of the Nineteenth century Is matter for very deep and sorrowful reflection. That | ! such conditions of slavery are to he found in i this great and glorious republic of tho free would be Incredible were tho facts not proved. And tho facts being proved, tho continuance of the iniquity cannot bo longer tolerated in silence. Persons who ure horrified to hear of tho ab ject misery in which their less fortunate fel lows labor ure wont to think littlo of their share of tho responsibility therefor. Nothing short of conscientiousness on tho part of con sumers can eliminate tho demand for produc tions at prices dependent upon the sweating system. Let Christian men and women, let all hamnn beings who believe in the brotherhood of the raco, he thoroughly informed of the circum stances under which this white slavery exists, and they cannot fail to take measures for its eradication without being open to accusations of hypocrisy. While one section of society consents In thoughtlessness or cynicism to live at tlie terrible cost of another, tenements unfit for habitation will bo overcrowded, and many hours of labor will result In small remunera tion. Tho sweating system is simply an ex treme phase of the social questions of modern life to which solutions are demanded more im peratively with every passing year. The dis covery of these solutions cannot be Indefinitely postponed with impunity and becomes even, more obscure as it Is longer disregarded. It behooves all the thoughtful men and women to bestir themselves in the search without further delay. Tho Dispatch believes that more can be done toward eradicating tho sweating evil by arousing the buyers of clothing and thereby levying a sort of boycott than by legislation. Tho Dispatch Is probably in error. TRIALS OF A BORROWER. Improvidence Rebuked at a Loan Office, j Where Canh Is "Lent the Sauie Day." ! A gontleman suffering from financial j disability went to a loan office to nego- I tiato a borrow on bis furniture. In tho advertisement it stated that the inonoy | would be lent tho same day by a Clioc ( taw lady, without removal and upon the note of hand of the borrower. All this I looked very fine in print. I "I've got SIO,OOO worth of personal property," said the would be borrower, : "and I have to meet a wash bill of $8.50 coming duo tomorrow noon. Can I get fitted out here so as to be in a position to meet the collector without a blush?" | The manager of the loan office was strangely silent. Tho would bo borrower . became nervous and thought he hadn't : said the speech right, and so he began | over again in this style: I "I am a person of poor but honest par- I entage, temporarily embarrassed. I need ; the sum of $3.50 to meet an unjust lia | bility." | Still there was no answer. Then tho j borrower walked into the outside room ' and said to the office boy: ; "What's the matter with the manager? Can't he talk?" "I guess it's because you haven't paid the entrance fee. No person is a mem ber of this loan society until he has put up one dollar." The borrower apologized and deposit ed the money. Next he repaired to the manager and repeated his original as sertion. "We charge one dollar more for book age," said tho manager. "What's bookage?" "That's none of your business. One | dollar, please." He paid tho money, and the manager wrote down something in a book. | "Now give me two dollars to inspect the furniture." The borrower gave him the money. "Now call here next year at 2 o'clock in tho afternoon and get our answer." "But tho money is due tomorrow." "Can't help it. Put 'em off." "But you can't put people like that off. There are some fellows that won't wait." The manager mailed a superior smile. "Oh, no there aren't," ho said. "You'll know a little more about waiting when you get through with us." The borrower left the office reluctant ly and returned tho following year at 2 o'clock. Then the manager told him somewhat sternly that ho couldn't lend money on that furnituro because it had got too old. In vain the borrower rep resented that it was new when his claim was filed. The manager ended tho in terview by charging him $1.25 storage on the "papers in tho case," and then had tho janitor throw him out. This ended the whole transaction.—New York Herald. Eating Several Meals a Day. When, us rarely happens, English farm laborers come to this country, they find it extremely difficult to accommo date themselves to the current American custom of eating but three meals a day. An English maidservant and nurse, who lived to bo more than 100 years old, averred that she had always been accus tomed to "a dew bit and breakfast, a stray bit and dinner, a nommet, a cram met, and a bit after supper." Extra meals are common enough during the harvest season in this country.The hasty breakfast at 8:30 in the morning is fol lowed by a "stray bit" at 9 o'clock and by a luncheon between tho noonday din ner and the after sunset supper. In parts of southern Pennsylvania the dinner hour is 11 o'clock in the morning, and it would not be difficult to show that Americans living on the snmo meridian are dining all the way from that hour until 7 in the evening. Tho great mass of country folk still dine at noon.—New York Sun. A Very Ancient Canoe. In 1881 a canoe hollowed out of tho trunk of a tree was found at Bovey- Tracey, in Devonshire. It lay in a de posit of brick earth more than twenty nine feet below tho highest level reached by tho waters of tho Bovey. It was more than thirty-live inches wide, and its length could not be exactly determined, the workmen having broken it in getting it out. An eminent archaeologist is of opinion that this boat dates from tho glacial epoch—perhaps even from a more remote time. If this hypothesis, tho re sponsibility of which we leave to him, bo correct, this is tho most ancient wit ness in existence of prehistoric naviga tion.—"Manners and Monuments of Pre historic Peoples." Don M. Dickinson Again Possible. DETROIT, Feb. 22.—1t is rumored in this city that Don M. Dickinson, notwithstand- I ing his previous statements to the contrary, has partially promised to enter the cabinet l of Mr. Cleveland assecretary of the navy. It is believed that Mr. Dickinson's reluctance to give up his largo private practice has ; been overcome. His hurried trip to this • city, presumably to arrange his personal af ! fairs, so that without great loss he can ac cept a seat in the cabinet, and the fact that Mr. Cleveland has given no sign as to who ; is to be the next attorney general, coupled ; with his generally accepted desire to have Mr. Dickinson iu the cabinet, are oilered to substantiate the rumor.
