Hawaiian Annexation.'
WAMtiNoTo.v. July 15.—The Senate
committee on foreign relation* agreed
to-day to report a resolution for the
ratification of the Hawaiian annexa
tion treaty without amendment.
Of the eleven members of the oom
mi i only seven were present These
were Messrs. Ha vis, Ciillorn, Foraker,
Clark. Morgan, Turp e and Daniel,
and all of these hat Messrs. Turple
and Daniel cast their votes for tbo
resolution of ratification Mr Frye's
vote wus also east in that interest by
Mr. Davis, Mr. Frye having left in
structions to that elT’cet
Messrs. Daniel and Turple did not
take a positive stand in opposition to
the treaty, hut both expressed the
opinion that it was not expedient nor
consistent with the vast importance of
the subject that the treaty should be
pressed to Immediate consideration,
r.nd that if the Senate was not to take
the subject up at, the present session
the better course would be to leave it
in committee until the Senate should
be prepared to proceed with it*consid
eration.
Mr Til rnie <•« nressnl liimself as in
eliuj.il to favor tlio treaty, but thought
it should Ik* amended. He, however,
withheld hi" amendments upon the
suggestion that the majority would
consider it pyuferabla to have the
amendments offered In the Senate.
There was a general understanding
that tlie committee should make no
effort to secure the consideration of
the treaty durinr the present session.
NO YOUNGER PARDON,

St. Pait, Minn., duly 10.—After an
extended hearing on the petition for
the pardon of Cole arid dim Younger,
the surviving members of the Missouri
outlaw ban 1 who attempted to raid a
bank at Northtield. Minn., in 1170, the
state board of pardons, consisting of
the governor, attorney general and
chief justice, yesterday afternoon re
fused, by unanimous vote, to grant
tlie requested relief, declaring their
belief that tlie Youngers should com
plete their term of life Imprisonment.
Contrary to expectations, the board
gave out a statement of its reasons in
denying pardon. It Is as follows.
A sensational feature of the proceed
ings before tlie hoard yesterday after
noon was an intimation that the Min
nesota authorities still hoped to tiring
Frank dames to trial. Several who
protested against tlie pardon urged
that the Younger boys might testify
against their former comrades. If
•uch evidence could Iks secured they
declared they would try to yet a re
quisition for Frank dames and bring
him to Minnesota to answer for his
•hare of tlie Northtield raid.

Detroit, Mich., July 15.—The Re
publican league convention has se
lected Omaha as the place for the next
meeting. For president Leonard J.
Crawford of Kentucky was chosen.
The resolutions declare unfaltering
allegiance "to the principles and pol
icies of <he party of protection,
sound money, reciprocity and pa
triotism. as expressed in the
St Louis platform,” and con
tinue: "The faith which prompted the
nomination anil election of William
McKinley and a Republican Congress
has been justified, and we congratu
late the country upon the evidences of
returning prosperity. We pledges new
the organized effort of league men
throughout the I'nton of the party of
Abrahnm Lincoln."
The platform commends the Presi
dent anil Congress in sending a mone
tary commission to European nutions;
for inaugurating measures for the an
nexation of Hawaii and for an attitude
upon the Cuban matter that has tend
ed to lessen Spanish atrocities In that
island. President Cleveland's civil ser
vice changes arc vigorously condemned
and u modification of the rules and
provisions of that law nro favored in
the "Interest of good service and to
correct the injustice*' alleged to have
been thus per[>etruted. Restriction of
immigration is. favored und sympathy
expressed with Die miners and other
laboring men in their struggles for
living wages. _

—T»« Krinit not unexpected.
Sr. Louis, Mo., July 15.—Asked
whether the alleged silence of the
Youngers in the face of repeated ques
tions about the killing of Cashier Hey
wood did not indicate that they were
prejudicing their own ease and prac
tically sacrificing their liberty to pro
tect some of their former associates,
1'runk James said that stteli sn infer
ence In bis case would Iks Unjust; that
he had been a law-abiding citizen ever
since his surrender and that any testi
mony connecting his name with the
robbery or murder was false,
Mr. James rdded; "AclWOen Cole
and Jim Younger and liberty was
placed a barrier which to have crossed
would have been dishonor In their own
eyes, To them, imprisonment, with
alt of its sacrifices, was preferable to
a life in the open air, knowing that
the price of that freedom was either
the imprisonment of a friend or the
desecration of the memory of a friend
long dead."
The former bandit concluded that he
bad at r.o time thought that the broth
ers would be pardoned and had so told

Ei-Oot. Alvin Saunders.
Omaliu dispatch: Ex-Governor Alvin
Saunders turned the four-score years
point in life yesterday, celebrating the
•vent by partaking of a more hearty
lunch than usual, lie laughed as he
related this fact, and said he had con
cluded that it was a little out of place
for him to celebrate his birthday re
turns. as it seems too much like cel
ebrating the fact that lie is getting
along in years.
Gov. Saunders is about ns bale nnd
hearty in appearance as lie was thirty
years ago. when his term of office us
the lust territorial governor of Ne
braska expired, ills hearing is en
tirely unimpaired, while as for eye
sight. he does not use glosses except
for reading line writing and newspa
per type, lie apparently feels as' vig
orous as many men of forty years less
and enjoys life at his comfortable
home in the north part of tin" city,
after transacting the business of the
ilay at his office.
Gov. Saunders was born -Inly 1?.
INI", and during the eighty years of
Ills life he has been a prominent figure
in the polities not only of the state, but
of the national government.
lie was appointed by President Lin
coln l,n I sill as territorial governor of
Nebraska, and renpolluted by Lincoln
just, before his assassination. It Is be
lieved that the signing of Governor
Saunders commission was the last
official act of President Lincoln, as tin1
commission was found on the presi
dent's desk, signed, hut not, yet folded,
when the office was first opened after
the president's ussusslnation. Presi
dent Johnson, succeeding President
Lincoln, immediately made out an
other com mission for <,ov. .Saunders, j
and both arc kept in the governor's
cliambel' „i relics and held in rever- |
pnoc by him. j
Uov, Naumh-rs spent six years in the
Town Rollu.te and w as seven years post
master at .Mount I’leasnnt. Iowa, be
ing the first postmaster appointed for
that place, lie was four years on the
I tali commission, and is believed to
tic the only member living of the con
stitutional convention which framed
tlie constitution under which the ter
ritory of Iowa became a state, lie was
a member of the I'nitcd States senate
for six years, and yesterday recounted
Incidents of upwards of tw enty mem
bers of that senate, who at the time
were more hale and hearty than lie.
but who have passed away,
• iov. Saunders says he did not start,
out in life with tlie intention of bcconi
ing mixed in polities, but he thinks lie
has had liis share of |>olilicul battles.
Those who know him best consider
the governor good for many years to
come.
