Wasiiisotojt, June 17.—In the great diplomatic room of the state depart ment where four year* and four montha ago, in the closing hour* of the Harrison administration, the first Hawaiian annexation treaty was signed, only to be withdrawn from .lie Senate by (’resident Cleveland soon after his inanguralion, the representa tives of the governments of the United States and Hawaii gathered this morn ing and signed a new treaty by the terms of which, if ratified, the littlo Island republic will bscomo part of the territory of the United States Of the persons who stood in the room to-day three were preseut when the original treaty was signed -‘-Spe cial Commissioner Lorrlq Thurston of Hijwaii and A**l»la»t Secretaries Adee and Cruller. It 1# very unuitial for a treaty of such importance to b, signed early in the morning, but in this ease it was desired that the convention be made ready cArly in order that it might be submitted to the Senate on the day of its signature.

For the United States there were Secretary Sherman, Assistant Secretaries Day, Adee and Cridler, Private Secretary babcock and Assist ant Private Secretary Gaytrec. On the Hawaiian side were Minister Hatch, Lorrin A. Thurston and \V. A. Kin ney, all, for thts particular occasion, accredited as special commissioners duly empowered to negottute a treaty at 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 his authorization by the President just as much as it was tiu credentials of the Hawailans from President Dole. Then came the reading and compar ison of the treaty. Of tills there were two drafts, one to be held by each country, later to be exchanged in the usual form. At 6:20 o'clock all was ready for the signatures. The Hawaiian represen tatives had brought witli them a gold pen in a plain holder and at their re quest this was used for ail of the •'K naturcs. Secretary Sherman signed first the copy intended to he 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. " ine treaties were seaica ny .Assis tant Secretary t'ridler with a private seal 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 effect it.

LoXnrix. June 17.—Hy the death of Harney Harnato, the famous specu lator, the utter rottenness of the South African boom is made apparent.' His suicide must cause widespread ruin among small investors. They had pinned their faith to him. The big speculators, having had inside knowledge of his serious condition, have cither cleared out or been ma nipulating his stock with profit. Harnato's tragic end has convinced the publle of the worthless fabric of the South African scheme, which now easily takes rank as the biggest stock speculation of record. Harnato securities were quoted months ago at n capital value of £1.’,000,000 (fttO,000,000), but in the last six months they had fallen to about £3,000,000 (*15,000,000), though they recently Improved on better accounts from South Africa. No secret is made of the fact that his break-down was accelerated by heavy drinking, which began when the Kaffir slump started, even before his departure for South Africa, which was hurried and private. I.is mind showed signs, of failing under strain eight months ago. on which account lie was sent away from England. There had never been any noticeable improvement in his condition. His responsibilities weighed heavily on his mind and he sought “solace" too fre quently. His naturally robust consti tution had been undermined by his laborious, exciting life, and symptoms of softening of tiie brain manifested themselves His family and friends became alarmed at the probable effect on his securities if this were known, as they were believed to be dependent solely on his personality. So they used every effort to get him off the cape and place him in seclusion for a time in the hope that he would recover. He did not want to leave London, but by a ruse they induced him to go on board a steamer to see a nephew off to the Cape, and he was kept talking in the cabin until the ship departed with the tender. He was thus shipped away against his will. This explains a story, made much of at the time, and now revived, that he went the last time to South Africa so unexpectedly that he had only the clothes ho stood in. His condition became worse Instead of better, and he made a public exhi bition of insanity at Johannesburg about six weeks ago, but it was at tributed to temporary causes. 11 is friends knew better, however, and a good deal of selling of his securities for a fall has been indulged in during the slump by well informed specula tors. The coliapse has not yet been ns greut as looked for, because the lleits and other big South African houses have combined to keep up prices. At the same time it has l>ecn more than sufficient to prevent a newly attempted boom in these securities on which the stock exchange has been reckoning for a few weeks.

INTEREST INCREASING IN THIS AND OTHER COUNTRIES. Consol ll«n«rtl Mason Reports to the State Department on a Matter that Interests Nebraskans—How tba Industry Is on the Increase In Uerraanjr. Reports on Heet Sugar. The Washington correspondent of flie Lincoln Journal writes that interest in the beet sugar industry is on the increase in this and other coun tries. The American consuls in countries where the sugar beet is grown have recently been paying more attention to the cultivation of this veg etable than formerly. Especially Is this so in Germany, which is the chief rival <if the United .States in beet pro duction. Consul General Mason at Frankfort, Germany, hus forwarded to the state department un interesting report with special reference to the planting for the current year and the effect of the new German export bounty law. In his report Mr. Mason says: “From an announcement just mode by the International association of raw sugar manufacturers, it appears that the area to lie planted with beets this spring will be 1.062.DOS acres, against 1.050,184 acres in lsdO, and 030,748 in 1805. This is equivalent to an increase of 1.2 per cent over the already very large acreage of last year and is re garded with apprehension by econo mists, who reali/.e that notwithstand ing the practical suspension of the sugar supply from Cuba, the limit of the world's consumption has been fully reached and that any further in crease in the product must react disas trously upon its market value. The increased acreage of beet cultivation Is most marked in the province of East I’russla, Pomerania and Mecklenburg. Hut in other countries, notably Aus tria-Hungary, the low sugar prices of last autumn have operated, in the ab sence of such eirnorf Imiinlli.u iim nr.. paid by Germany, to reduce the area of this year’s planting, which has declin ed from 838,425 acres in 189(1 to 748.589 acres this season, a loss of about 12.8 per cent. Similar reductions, more or less important, are reported in the plantings of Helgium, Holland an Swe den. Prance, so far as appears, has not yet reported what the total acreage of beet culture will be in that country this year, but no im|sirtant increase is thought to be probable, so that, taking Europe as a whole, the prospect is for a diinished area of cultivation, the in crease in Germany's planting being more than offset by the reductions in . other countries. Such, in brief, is tlie apparent result of the first year's operation of the new German sugar export bounty law. sus tained as it is by the advanced scienti fic methods of the Germans in the use of chemical fertilizers and their skill ful improvement of the sugar beet it self, through which German agricultu rists are enabled to produce I unit of sugar from 7.23 units of raw beets—in stead of 1 unit to 13, as was the case a few years ago—while the highest aver age yield yet attained in France is 1 unit of sugar to 8.08 units of beets. The State University. The lioard of regents of the state university transacted considerable business at their last meeting. It was decided that the new collegiate build ing be erected in 1898. and that the full tax of three, years (8185,000) should lie devoted to that structure. The lo cation of the building and plans for its construction will be considered in Oc tober. The board made numerous changes in the faculty also—not by removal, however. Gilbert L. Houser, M. S., was elected professor of uniinal morphology and physiology. For three years he was instructor in biol ogy, under Prof. Calvin. Later lie be came assistant professor in charge of animal morphology and physiology, which position he has filled two years. A. .1. Large, a capable graduate of the university and assistant in botany, was ■ iiuiiv tvncMi w unniov a i wi, iiwuiiri , K. Jl. Potter, instructor in Latin, was promoted to the position of assistant professor in Latin. An honorary fel l lowship in Latin was created, but no one was recommended thereto. C. II. Vanlaw was continued a fellow in po litical economy, witli an advanced sal ary. A new chair—that of govern ment and administration—was created and lien F. Shambaugh, assistant pro fessor of political science, was selected professor thereof. I)r. i'arl E. Sea shore. instructor in psychology and pedagogy at Yale, was elected as Dr. .1. A.

Muller was convicted in Wayne county and was sent to the pen itentiary May 4.

It is alleged in the application that there has been no examination of the condition of the assets of the bank and none is being made by the statu hoard. HI* Roraca Killed br Lightning.

Chicago, June 10.-—A special to the Times-Hera Id from Washington says: “It appears to be well settled that no effort will bo made by the President to secure authority for the appoint ment of a currency commission at this session of congress. Until within a week or so the President had believed such a measure might be passed in the closing days of congress, while the two houses were in conference on the tariff bill.
