HONOLULU , Nov. 20. ( Via Saa Francisco ,
Nov. 27. ) Advlcta received today from Japan
state that no progress has been made la the
negotiations about the. emigrant affair ,
owing to the fact that Hawaii sticks lu-
varlably to the policy ot procrastination In
the hope. It Is asserted , of transferring the
responulblllty of paying the compensation
to the United Stated by the proposed an
nexation.
At this Juncture another difficulty has
sprung up. A certain emigration company
In Honolulu has unlawfully appropriated the
deposit money of the emigrants lunil Minister
Shtmamura attempted to bring the matter
before a tribunal. The company , greatly
astonished at the attitude of the minister ,
threatened to dUwloao all the- weak points of
Japan In the moROtiatlons at Isaue should the
mln'.Ister ' Insist -carrying out his plan to
the bitter end. Under theao circumstances
the current trouble Is at present In a state
of suspense.
Whllo matters stand In this way In Hawaii ,
the relations of Japan with the United States
have become nioro friendly and the latter U
Inclined to ailvlso the Hawaiian government
to pay the Indemnity nt nnco to Japan If It
really dculrcs the annexation of Hawaii to
the United States. Ili'inro long Instructions
will bo dUtputched to that effect to Minister
Sowall ( it this place. In. fact , the Hawallau
government ir. y be Induced to accept the
proposal of the United States and pay the
damages , as a heavy expense will bo In
curred In leaving the dispute lo arbitration.
Should this turn out to bo u fact the Hawaii
affair will be settled earlier than expected ,
OPPOSED TO ANNEXATION.
Senator Pettlgrow of South Dakota and
ex-Senator Dubols of Idaho will leave for
&tn Francisco today , lloth men are prac
tically against annexation. It U a change
ot front on the part of Dubols , When ho
wan a member of the senate It , A. Thure-
tou , who 'Was then Hawaiian minister at
Wathlnglon. remarked and repeated fre
quently that Senator Dubols was ono of the
most tuithuslanllc supporters of tbo annexa
tion proposal.
In a recent speech ibcforo a meeting ol
Hawallans at Hllo , Hawaii , Pcltlgrow Bald.
"Wo came to your Island for Uio purpose of
ascertaining what the people who Itvo In
this country thought about the question of
annexation of the Islands , and also to seu
what wo could learn about the desirability
of annexing thcao Islands , If we found tbo
people wanted them annexed as a part of
the United States , U is supposed that many
of your people arc In favor of annexation
Jjecauso It has ibeen eo represented , but I
liavo talked to many and I have failed to
11 nil a native Hawaiian who la not opposed
to annexation to the United States and In
favor of your own government.
7 shall tell what I have seen and what I
have hoard In the eenato when the question
cornea up. I should do that even If I were
opponpd to what you want dono. but I am |
not opposed to It. "
Four native Hawaiian * will leave for
AVashlngton tonight to work against anncjca.
tlon , Hobort Wllcox , who waa to lie one of
the party ; lias derided not to go. He nays
he considers the trip a waste of time
HAWAII ANXIOUS TO SKTTLE.
When shown the Honolulu dispatch con-
cernlug the progress of the negotiations bo-
twecn Hawaii ud Japin , Minister Hatch of
the former country tonight ald that he had
no advice * coatlrmatorjr of ny p rt of It.
Ho added that when he left Hawaii very
recently the Indications were favorable to the
settlement of the dispute by arblti-Uion , and ,
he continued , "Instead of Hawaii seeking
to postpone the adjustment of the claim until
after the question of the annexation ot
Hawaii to the United States is settled , the
ruposlto Is true. Hawaii Is anxious to presI
ctit a clean slate to the United States , bin
It cannot , of course , allow Its concern In
that direction to lure It Into making con
cessions regarding .Japanese Immigration In
case the annexation treaty should fall. "
Mr. Hatch added that he had no knowledge
of any purpose on the part of the United
States to Interfere In the Hawaiian-Japanese
dispute , and ho expressed the opinion that
ho would be In possession of the loforma-
tlon If such a course had been decided upon ,
"Until annexation Is accomplished , " he
said , "Hawaii must pursue Its course as an
IndcoendeiH nation , and It Is not probable
that the United States would advise the
Hawaiian government to adept a policy look-l
log to the surrender of the right to regu'ate
Immigration , a right which the government
of this country Is constantly exercising. "
NO NEWS AT WASHINGTON.
The ofTlclals hero know nothing' of any In
tention on the part of our government to advise -
vise Hawaii to pay Immediately to Japan
without waiting on the arbitration the sum
of money claimed by Japan on account of the
turning back from Honolulu of Japanese la
borers last spring. On the contrary , the de
partment of state , It Is said , has carefully
refrained from Interfering by sufc cs-tioa o.1
othnwlso between Jai > an und Hawaii In the
settlement of the matter a : Issue , and there
Is no reason now to expect a change of
course. It is not understood hero that the
naming by Japan of the sum of $200,000 as
the claimed Indemnity binds Hawaii to
pay that much. It Is merely a maximum
limitation which the rules of arbitration re-
qulro to bo placed on n claim wherevur pos
sible. Touching the theory that iho settle
ment of the claim Is being purposely delayed
by Hnwall In order to throw It upon the
United States after annexation shall have be-
conio an accomplished fact , It Is said tint
nothing could he gained by such a course ,
since the pending annexation treaty provides
In terms that the Unltuil States shall nut as-
siimo a liability of exceeding $1,000.100 on
account of annexation , and It Is understood
that thcro are already outstanding obllga
tlona to nearly that amount.

Judge Baker had a court full of criminals
ivhen ho convened court yesterday morning ,
but ho disposed of them In short order and
had the decks cleared up at the tlmo of
the noon adjournment.
Maud Stacy , a colored resident of the

touching" a white male visitor for $115 and
was brought I'J to bo sentenced. When
called before the court abe attempted to
create a scene by 'begging ' for mercy and
promising to bo good. The Judge told her
she should have thought of this some yeara
ago , whereupon the prisoner let out some
shrieks that were Intended' awaken the
dead. After howling to her heart's content
she throw herself upon a chair and at
tempted to go Into a spasm , .but was pre
vented by the heiolc treatment of the court
bailiff. After this the woman was pre
sented -with a term of three years In the
penitentiary , and Immediately she con
tracted another spasm , but was hustled off
to the county jail.
Sam Carroll , ono or the men arrealed dur
ing state fair week and who pleaded guilty
to burglary In the night time , was given a
term of three years. Carroll is 21 ycarc
of ago and boasts of having respectaiblo par
ents In ono of the eastern states. He Htated
that tli la was his II rat off en so and that he

Judge Baker of tbp criminal section of the
district court had a busy morning , dealing
with men and women accused of the
mission of crlmo and others who had been
convicted of violating the laws of the land.
Th3 first matter called to the attention of
Judge Baker was by Attorney Illtchle , who
represents the Kestners , charged with the
murder of Officer Dan Tledeman and the
wounding of Officer Al Glover. The attorney
stated that one of his witnesses , E. D. Pratt ,
who resided near Thirtieth and Spauldlng
atrcets , whore the shooting occurred , had
recently fallen and had broken a leg , which
would prevent him from 'appearing In court
next Monday and giving testimony In the
case. He says that the Injury would compel
the witness to remain In his bed for several
weeks. In order to secure the testimony.
Ultchie suggests that the court adjourn from
the court bouse to the home ot Pratt ,
that the testimony might bo taken
I there In tbo presence of the Jury. Judg'
i Baker said that there was no law permit
ting him to hold court at any other ploce In
Douglas county outside of the court house
and aa the witness was within the jurisdiction
of the court , he did not see how a deposi
tion could be taken for use at the trial. Ho
suggested that possibly the witness could , be
brought \ to the court ihouso In an ambulance
It and I then be brought 'into the court room.
t ( Attorney Hltchlo doubted the propriety of
such a plan , venturing the opinion that such
a course might seriously Impair Pratt's
health. j He said that there was no disposition
upon , hlii part to delay the trial of the case ,
but | expressed the opinion that 'it ' would be
impossible I to proceed to trial without the
testimony of the witness named.
It Is likely that the trial of the case against
the Kestr.crs will begin next Tuesday. The
witnesses have been subpoenaed for Monday ,
but there are some preliminaries to be dis
posed of that will probably throw It over one
day. The defense has not yet outlined Its
plan of action , .but U Is thought that a sepa
rate trial will bo demanded by the father and
ills two scna who are jointly and severally
charged with murder.
ll.VIIThKV 1IOMJ CASK IV COURT.
of .TiirlNillotlon ( o III.- Settled
Ni-vl Saturday.
Some days ago a document attacking the
jurisdiction of tbo courts of this judicial dis
trict was filed by the bondsmen of Joseph
S. Bartley , ex-state treasurer , suit having
been previously brought against them to re
cover the amount of Hartley's alleged shortage
ago , some 500,000 , In this document It was
alleged that If thcro had been any ibfr.lca
tion by Bartley. while acting ns state treas
urer such defalcation occurred In Lancaster
and not In Douglas county , consequently the
judges of the judicial district could have no
jurisdiction In tile premises. Arguments on
this point were to have been before Judge-
Dickinson yesterday afternoon , but when the
court convened the attorneys for Bartley were
not ready and the hearing went over until
next Saturday morning nt Q:30 : o'clock.
When Judge Dickinson called up the mo
tlon on the jurisdiction of the court In the
Bartloy bondsmen case an array of lega
talent was presented. Attorney Genera
Smyth and Deputy Attorney Genera
Smith appeared for the state and
Attorneys Cowln , Bartlett end Hansom of
this city and Brown of Lincoln for the bonds
men. Attorney Cowln evened by declaring
that ho was not ready to go on with the ar
gument of a motion attacking thejurlsdlc. .
tlon of the court. He said the motion hai
been served but recently , and that he had
not had time to rcoko a careful examination
of the questions involved. In addition to
this , ho urged that Attorney Ames of Lin
coin was the chief counsel In the case and
that ho had been called to Washington , where
ho would be detained until about the mlddl
of December.
Attorney General Smyth stated that he
was anxious to go on with the arguments
and w&s opposed to any delay. Ho said tha
the bondsmen were represented by four law
yers and ho did not see the necessity of wait
ing for the fifth. As ho remembered it , tli
chief argument made In the case when I
was on trial before was made by Mr. Brown
consequently the presence of Mr. Ames wa
not essential.
Attorney Cowln denied that there was any
attempt to delay proceedings and urged tliiit
tbo answer day was only last Monday and
that the reply day had not ytt arrived.
Several dates were suggested for hearing
the arguments , but It was finally agreed to
begin next Saturday morning ,

Judge Keysor has passed upon the case ot
the heirs of Catherine Mella , insane , against
the Chicago , Itock Island & Pacific Hallway
company , holding with the plaintiffs.
In 1S92 Catherine Mella rnld a lot In the
southern part of the city to the defendant
and Bomo yenrs later the heirs Instituted suit
to eet tbo transfer aside , alleging that at the
Imo of making the deed the woman was In-
= auo and not responsible for her acts. The
ase was fought through the courts , Attornc )
Mahoney for the heirs contending that the
deed was not only voidable , but was void.
At the last trial many witnesses were called
and experts were examined upon the question
of the woman's mental condition at the tlmo
of making the transfer. The case was takun
under advisement by Judge Keysor , who
emlered his opinion yesterday , holding
hat the woman was Insane and setting aside
the transfer.
