ANNEXATION TREAT1! HAWAII TO BE PART OF THI UNITED STATES. !-' - Tta Proposed Treaty Signed by Seeretar; Sherman nnd the Island Commlaelnn ara—ffhtt la Provided for In the Agreement—Japan Enters • Protest. / ' ' i - '' Annexation Treaty Signed. Washington, Juno 17.—In tho great diplomatic room of the state depart ment where fonr years and four months ago, in tho closing hours of the Harrison administration, the first Hawaiian annexation treaty was signed, only to be withdrawn from -lie Senate by President Cleveland soon after bis inauguration, the representa tives of the governments of tho United States and Hawaii gathered this morn ing and signed a new treaty by the terms of which, if ratified, the little island republic will become part of the territory of the United States Of the persons who stood in the room to-day three were present when the original treaty was signed—Spe cial Commissioner Lorrin A. Thurston of Hawaii and Assistant Secretaries Adee and Cridlor. 'l'a If} >.y-: Pi It is very unusual for a treaty of •uoh importance to be signed early in the morning, but In this case it was desired that the convention be made ready early in order that it might be submitted to the Senate on the day of its signature. The document itself had been pre pared carefully over night, in fact it was practically completed at the close of official hours yesterday, but it was necessary to make a close comparison and the President wished another opportunity to go over it, probably with a view to drawing up a special message to the senate to accompany SIGNING OP THE TREATY. Before S o'clock the persons who were concerned in the preparation of the treaty were at the state depart ment. For the United States there were Secretary Sherman, Assistant 'Secretaries Day, Adee and Cridler, Private Secretary Babcock and Assist ant Private Secretary Clay tree. On the Hawaiian side were Minister Hatch, Dorrin A. Thurston and W. A. Kin ney,' all, for this particular occasion, accredited as special commissioners duly empowered to negotiate a treaty of' annexation. After the formal greetings the cre dentials of the plenipotentiaries were scanned and recorded. Secretary Sherman alone represented the United States In the signature of the conven tion, and it was part of the ceremony to record liie authorization by the President just as much as it was th. credentials of the- Ilawalians from President Dole. Then cauio the reading and compar ison of the treaty. Of this there were *two drafts, one to be held by each country, later to be exchanged in the ttaual form. At 0:SO o’clock all was ready for the •ignaturea The Hawaiian represen tatives had brought with them a gold pen in a plain holder and at their re quest this was used for all of the elg 'natures Secretary Sherman signed first the copy intendod to be held here, while Minister Hatch signed first the Hawaiian copy, his fellow commission ers coming next in order, Mr. Thurs ton and then Mr. Kinney. The treaties were scaled by Assis tant Secretary Cridler with a private aeal carried on his watch chain, the copies were handed to their respective custodians and the treaty was com pleted as far as the executive branch of the government could ofleot it There;was a general exchange of con gratulations between the parties to i thb ceremony, nnd, utter a photograph had been taken of tho commissioners, the ceremony was ended. PROVISIONS OF THE TREATY. m; I'Wr' V If. L: -4; \ ■ Tho treaty provides that the govern ment ot the Hawaiian islands cedes to the United States absolutely and for over all rights of sovereignty in ami over tho Hawaiian islands and its de pendencies, and that those islands •hall become an integral part of tho territory of the United Mates. The government of Hawaii also eodc3 to tho United Statos nil public lands, public buildings and public property of every description. Congress is to enact special laws to govern tho dispo sition of lands ip the Hawaiian islands. All the revenue from these lands is to be used solely for the ben efit of the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Inlands for educational and other pub lic purposes. The Hawaiian island, •re to be admitted into the union as a territory of the Unitid Slates, loan' laws to be passed by a local legisla ture, but subject to the approval of the President. Until Congresishall apply the laws of the United States to the islands, the present laws of Hawaii are to govern the islands. Tho pres ent treaties and Jaws governing Ha waii's commercial relations with .for eign nations are to remain in foree until Congress shall take action. Fur ther immigration of Chinese laborers is prohibited pending congressional action, and the entry of Chinese from Hawaii into the United States likewise is prohibited.

Most of Those Looking for Positions Art Mem and Women of Intelligence— Questions that Those Applying Most Answer—A Plan that Is Little Understood. Many Applying for Jobs. Lincoln dispatch: Deputy Labor Commissioner S. J. Kent has received a number of applications from those out of work who nave taken advantage of the new state employment bureau. The applications for jobs are in excess of the inquiries of employers after per sons to fill vacancies. In fact there have been only two or three entries on the help wanted side of the register. 1 he greater part of the applicants are seeking employment in clerical capaci ties, these being about 75 per cent of the whole. The letters accompanying the re quests that their names bo put on the list of applicants for positions show that nine-tenths of the writers are men and women of some education, the wording of the letters as well as the handwriting showing this. Several who want engagements as school teachers are among the applicants. The regulation requires that each applicant answer certain questions as to experience and previous business. The -answers show that the greater number have occupied positions of trust in the particular line they seek employment in, and several have for longer or shorter periods been in busi ness for themselves. The one thing which is shown by the registers more plainly than others is that there are more competent men and women out of jobs than there are places to be filled. Just what the proportion of un employed to the vacancies is can better be determined after the list grows larger and the bureau is more general ly used by the employers and seekers after employment. At the present time the plan is but little understood by the people generally. To Fight stock Fords Law. The South Omaha stock yards com pany will fight the law passed by the last legislature fixing the rates. Suit was filed in federal court a few days ago. The title is Greenleaf W. Simp son, complainant, against the Union Sjock Yards company of South Omaha (limited), and Constantine J. Smyth, attorney general of Nebraska, defend ants. The plaintiff is a stockholder in the Union Stock Yards company and lives at Boston, and asks that an order be issued enjoining the provisions of the law being enforced. After giving the history of the cor poration, it is stated that the gross earniugs of the company for 1895 were $498,12(5.89, and for 1890, $471,190.39; while the expenditures in 1895 were $254,730.49 and in 1896, $245,037.74. It is alleged that the company is en gaged in interstate commerce, since part of the stock was shipped to other states. It is alleged that if the company were to extend to all persons, corporations, or companies dealing at such yards the same rights and privileges, it would sustain ruinous losses, and to compel it to so conduct its business would inter fere with the natural right of every man to have, use and enjoy his own so long as he does not trespa'ss upon the rights of others. It is alleged that the act is unconstitutional because it at tempts to regulate the charges of a pri vate corporation; that it does not pro vide for a judicial inquiry into the reasonableness of the charges; it dis criminates between different stock yard companies in the state of Nebraska. Klein People Feed a Cm; Han. A young man who gives his name as Jack Warner came into town in a re markable way today, says an Elgin dispatch, and was given a hearty meal and turned over to the sheriff at Neligh for proper attention. He was first seen by some boys playing on the railroad just above town. When he saw the boys coming he started to them and told them that he had just killed an el ephant up there and he was advance agent for Barnum'sshow and was going to give a fake show in town. He looked lean and hungry and was asked if he had his dinner and said no, that he had not eaten anything for three months. He was taken to the hotel and fed, and seemed almost famished for food and water. He is just 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs about 100 pounds, has light blue eyes and dark brown hair, with light eyebrows and lashes, and a freck led face. He is of slender build and ha3 long, slim hands and fingers, hands slightly caloused, wears an old black velvet cap without peak and patched coat of dark material, light cotton shirt and overallswell worn. His boots were well worn and of a decided low top. He was very talkative and says he lives on a farm at O’Neill with his father and mother. He says his father's name is. Ben Warner and his mother's Mary Warner. He looks to be about 20 years old, but claims to be 25. Want* to Exhibit Water Lillies. The Trans-Mississippi exposition management have received an applica tion for space for what promises to be. a most unique and attractive exhibit. The proprietor of Lily Park, Smith's Grove, Ky., writes for space for a big exhibit of water lillies. His idea is to construct an artistically arranged la goon, which will be literally covered with water lilies of every known va riety. He is said to have the largest stock and the greatest variety of these floweis of any horticulturist on this hemisphere. He now has a very fine exhibit at the Nashville exposition. The management is convinced that the exhibit would be a very popular attraction. The Casa to be Tarried Up. The stutc superintendent, says a Lin coln dispatch.-is hopeful that the re hearing of the high school case before the supreme court will bring a favora ble result. The high schools of the state are taking much interest in the case, and two or three have already sent in contributions of cash where with to defray expenses of the rehear ing. As there is no fund available to pay the attorney’s fees in the case, these contributions come in good time, and it is hoped at the superintendent’s office that a number of the high schools tn the state will follow the example. Digestibility of Cheese.
