Concerning tho Hawaiian annexation, a Washington correspondent says that at both ends of the Capitol the senti­ ment is growing that annexation is the only step to take. The commissioners have said unofficially, over and over again that they do not want a protec­ torate, and Senators and Representa­ tives who at first thought that was an easy way <mt of the embarrassment of an unpreoedwnted situation are drifting to the idea that this presents about as many difficulties as direct annexation. But no steps are going to betaken im­ mediately. The provisional govern­ ment ia in a position to take care of the •country for the present, with the help of United States marines. England seems disposed, according to London dispatches, to keep her hands off if we want to take the islands, and Senators and Representatives want to maintain the status quo until they have acquired fuller information about the resources of the islands and the different kinds of population who would have to be taken care of. The strongest advocate the strong­ est opponent of annexation are South­ ern democratic Senators. Senator Morgan is for annexation, as he has been all along, and an advocate of a broad and foreign policy extending far beyond our own boundaries and our own property. In the discussions on Samoa and the Congo Free State, particularly in the case of the latter, he has taken a leading part in pushing claims of the United States to a wider sphere of in­ fluence, if not of power, and his ad­ vocacy of ' the Mcaragua eanal as a part' of the same policy is well known. The Southern men generally are in favor of Hawaiian annexation, but Louisiana opposes. The sugar in­ terests of Louisiana and Hawaii con­ flict. The Louisiana planters are hop­ ing for the repeal of the bounty and the imposition of a duty, and they don't want the islands to stand on the same footing that they do.. Reciprocity with Hawaii has not been in the interest of Louisiana, and the Pelican planters be­ lieve that annexation would do a great deal to encourage the investment of American capital in the islands, and that the sugar culture1 would be greatly extended there and the islands A*de more dangerous competitors than they have ever been in the sugar market* tlemen were killed by a wandering band as a result of a quarrel early in the week. Colonel Carlton of Fort Meade, has countermanded his orders and no troops will be sent te Pine Ridge. Ev­ erything is reported quiet there. A later, dispatch from Omaha says: The true account of the alleged Indian massacre is simply this: Thursday a nnmber of cowboys belonging at the beef camp of Isaac Humphrey, a gov­ ernment contractor located on White River, at the mouth of White Clay Creek, atout twenty-five miles north­ west of Pine Ridge Agency, returned from town in a drunken condition, and brought a good supply or whisky with them. During the evening they became quarrelsome and mistreated and injured an Indian by the name of Two Stioks. driving him from their canjp, and firing their revolvers at him. Two SttcKs re­ turned later in the evening, re-enforced by his sons and a number of other rela­ tives and friends, aari tommenced a deadly fire on th. «n»wboy camp, killing three and mortally wounding a fourth man, who has since died.

Another scene in tho shooting tragiedy on the Sioux Reservation was enacted Friday evening near the spot where the four white men were killed by Indians. As soon as the news of the tragedy was brought to Pine Ridge Capt. Brown, the agent, dispatched twelve mounted police under command of Polioo Ser­ geant Joe Bush to the scene of the shooting, with instructions to arrest and bring in the perpetrators of the bloody work. When the squad arrived at their destination Two Sticks and his crowd opened fire on them and a skirmish took place, resulting in the death of two of Two Sticks' party and the wounding of Two Sticks and one of hls aons. Two Sticks himself was shot in the leg and in the abdomen. Two Sticks' son was wounded slightly in the ankle. The dead Indians were left where they fell and the wounded ones were brought to the agency. The motive for the murder cannot be definitely learned. One account is that the In­ dians were playing cards with the white men in the dugout in which they were camped and got into a dispute, and that, after leaving them, the Indians returned and opened the door of the dugout and shot them while they were asleep. An­ other account is that these Indians had been in one of their sweat houses, going through some of their savage cere­ monies, and became imbued with the idea that it was incumbent upon them to kill these men and proceeded to carry it into effect. , After making their reports the police were highly complimented by Captains Brown and Cisney. Capt. Brown has another squad of police out after those who got away, with instructions to bring them to the agency dead or alive. A courier reports that Two Sticks and his two sons returned two or three hours after killing the cowboys and took all the bed clothing in the camp and stole what food was in sight. It is a difficult matter to obtain reliable par­ ticulars. Last night it was rumored that Two Sticks' friends were moving toward the agency and were going to fire the government building, but this cannot be confirmed. A blizzard is now raging, which is usually more cooling to aif Indian's ardor than anything else. Captain Brown does not fear serious trouble, but others do not have the same opinion. » A Rapid City, 8. D., dispatch says the reports of danger irom discontent among Pine Ridge Indians caused by the murder of four cowboys are mt- fOunded, no general disquiet being re­ potted.

The Carterites at Coloma, Mich., ; new religious sect, are continuing their inhuman seances, and.a supreme effort will be made to have the leader arrested and the new heaven disbanded. Re­ cently Carter and some of his followers held what they called a "routing the devil's meeting," and slammed things around the house, broke furniture, etc., and when the devil, as they put it, would get into one of their number that one was treated something in the man­ ner that a sheaf of wheat is treated when run through a separator. But his satanic majesty has not bothered the Carterites for some time. The other day Caiter was in the barn milking a cow, and during the operation the cow kicked him and he immediately concluded that the cow had that peculiar disease "the devil." He tied her up in a stall and twisted her tail until the "lowing of the klne" was heard in the land. The neigh­ bors came in to see what had happened to their leader, and then Carter, in 8 solemn speech, made it known that the devil had taken possession of his cow, but he had twisted her tail until she had given him up like the whale gave up Jcnah. But he at the same time in­ sisted that their enemy had lodged in the hayloft. So the little assembly proceeded to drive him out after the manner they had followed in the hour€ some time before. The hay was turned upside down and the barn doore slammed, and all maneuvers imagin­ able were gone through, and 'finally an old lady ia some manner hurl herself and declared the oevil had paralyzed her left side. She was jolted on the floor and dragged around in a very ungentlemanly manner until she declared that she was once more free, and then over their success a "hallelu­ jah" was held, to the gratification of all present. One of these "chosen ones," upon hearing her old mother groan, went down-stairs to find her enveloped in flames; and coolly took her child and crossed over to a neighbor's house, sev­ eral rods away, and awoke and sent them to put out* the fire. When they reached the house the poor old creature was outdoors clinging to the clothesline post. The post was all charred and hei flesh was hanging to it in bits. She lived a few minutes only.

Whitney, wife of the ex- Secretary of the Navy, died at 3 o'clock Saturday morning. Mrs. Flo: a Payne Whitney was the daughter of Henry B. Payne, of Cleve­ land, recently Unite! States Senator from Ohio. She was the youngest of the family. While a very young girl she showed a great fondness for .books. She had tutors at home, and attended the best schools of New York, afterward devoting a year to study in Europe. Soon after the completion of her sci­ entific course at Cambridge, while yet scarcely out of her teens, she married William C. Whitney, then a young law­ yer of New York City. That was about twenty years ago. Her life since has been devoted to her husband and her children, but she has found time to make and to hold a leading place in society in New York and Washington, and to es­ tablish a sound reputation as a linguist, as an authority in archeology and as a judge and critic of literature. When Mr. Whitney became Secretary of the Navy in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet Mrs. Whitney made their home in Washing­ ton 6econd only to the White House in social importance. They occupied the old Frelinghuysen house on I street. Mrs. Whitney had five children. Ex- Senator Payne, Mrs. Whitney's father, is still living. When Mrs. Whitney's first child was bom he gaye the young mother $1,000,000. j^CJedlngs la memory i?ars. Gamble of South Dakota, Fold of (an. and Stack house, of Pettfch Caro- 't#*1 - .e?

After­ ward the quarantine bill was takerf up aucl cussed without a division, also a bill fop tne payment out of the treasury of lo­ cal taxes on lands held by Indians in sev­ eralty. Finally the automatical-coupler bill was taken up and discussed for a time, when it went over. Senator Hill presented a petition of the business men of Roches­ ter. N. ¥., irrespective of pariy, in favor of the repeal of the She: man act* Senat* bill to authorize a bridge over the Monon-- igahela River from Pittsburgh to Home­ stead was passed. This was suspension day in tho House, and Mi-. KllgOi-e. of Texas, soon began filibustering motions. IMa- apparent object was to prevent the consid­ eration of the anti-option bill, but deeper than this was his antagonism to the bank­ ruptcy bill, which public rumor bad pat' down on the slate for the day. It was af­ ter 1 o'clock when the various filibustering motions of Mr. Kilgore were disposed of and the journal approved. Then Sir. Kunn moved to suspend th* ml** and pass- a bill appropriating $32,000 for the relief of the heirs of Adelicla Chc.eau. Mr. Burrows demanded a second, and. as no quorum voted, on motion of Mr. Kilgore a call of the House was ordered. The call showed" the presence of a quorum and tellers were again ordered. Again no quorum voted and again a calVof the House was ordered. After several other roll calls the House ad­ journed without having reached tho anti- option or the bankruptcy bilL The House Tuesday made fair progress* with one of the great appropriation bllla That legislative bill appropriates upward of $21,500,000. Aside from a review of the condition of the treasury by Messrs. Ding- ley and Dockery--divergent views--and an attack on the civil-service law by Hvs Dearmond the proceedings were uii Inter-. estlng. Senator Chandler managed tog lye a political twist to the debate in the Senate, on the automatic-coupler bill. He brought up a resolution in the National Demo­ cratic platform which denounces the Bepublican party and the Republican ;Senate for not having provided leg­ islation for the protection of rail-, road employes, and he insisted that the position of so many Democratic Senators against the bill was nconsistent with thalr party fealty. He twitted them with the fact that only seven of them had voted to take up the bill for the repeal of tho Sher­ man act, knowing; the declaration of the National DemocraticConvention on the sub­ ject of'sliver, and knowing the entreaties of the President-elect to have the Sherman act repealed before March 4, Mr. Wolcott, while arguing apalnst the automatic- coupler bill, said that ho other Senator than Mr. Chandler could have found a po­ litical advantage in It, After a great deal %f talk back and forth no action was taken on the bill. < On Wednesday the Senate resumed con- j sideration of the railway car-coupler Mr. Peffer took exception to some remarks • made by Mr. Wolcott, reflecting, as Mr. Peffer thought, on the termers xnd - work-' logmen of the country, and be hoped that, the bill would pass, no matter ho w much It might cost the railway companies. He had no qualms of conscience on that point Mr. Gorman argued that the organization, of railway employes could accomplish more in the way of improvement than ail the legislation tbat could be piled on the statute book. Mr. Cullom declared it had got to be a question whether Congress would put money against the blood of rail­ road employes, and whether money waa more valuable than the lives of these men. Various amendments were offered, bat without action the Senate, after an execu­ tive session, adjourned. The Speaker lai<tv before the House the House quarantine bill, with Senate amendment, and Mr. Ray- nor moved a concurrence. A few mo­ ments before 1 o'clock Doorkeeper Turner announced the presence of the Vice President and Senate cf the United States,1 and the vast assemblage rose with one ac­ cord to do them honor. The Vice President took the chair assigned to him at the right of the Speaker, and the Senators occupied the first four rows of the seats to the right of the presiding office*. Tin© counting of* the electoral vote was then proceeded with, and at Its completion the Kenate re­ turned to its own hall. When the Senate retired «,h© House re'timed in committee the consideration of the legislative appro- t riatlon bill. Without dlspositiBS.of t.he hjil the; committee and tb© House adjourned.
