ANNEXATION OF HAW AII.' ' w '■ . I

TO ACQUIRE THE ISLANDS BV ACT OF CONGRESS.

Tho B otonno Bfoooaro S tilt U nder . Discussion Iu th e B cnato -B lflh t

H o n r Law Passed l a tb e House o fR epresentatives—Tbo A m ount ..ofSilver In th e T reasury.Washington, May Bfltt hoo

presented tho majority report of the house committee on foreign affairs In favor of the annexation of Hawaii by Joint resolution. It states that the proposition Is not new to either gov­ernment. For 50 years It has been ap­parent that so small und feeble a gov­ernment must be merged with a stronger power.

The report states “there is no undUQ pressure on the part of the United States as a greater powor; no surpr.se of any one; no possibility of objections by other governments. I t io simply the obvlotis result of the natural course of events through a long period of years thus completed with the cordial con­sent of the sovereign power* ot both governments. The only question In­volved lo whether the proposed possen alon of tho Hawaiian Islands would be advantageous to the United States.**

Tho strategic Importance of tho Is­lands lo then discussed; also the risk of delaying acquisition, as there Is dan­ger of the Islands falling under Jap­anese Influence and control. American commercial Interests would be promot­ed, and . annexation, tho report says, would do away with foreign complica­tions of the lslando. A brief argument is mado upon the subject of acquiring territory by legislative act; and tt Is declared that there lo nothing In the annexation to prevent such acquisition In conclusion, tho r^pqrt saym;

“The acquisition of* theae Islands does not * contravene our national policy or traditions, u carrien out tho Monroe doctrine, which excludes European pow­ers from Interfering In the American Continent and outlying islands, but does not limit the United Statos, and tho doctrine.has been long applied to these very inlands by our.‘government. As Secretary Blaine said in 1881, tho situa­tion of the Hawaiian lslando, giving thetn strategic control of the north Pa­cific, brings their possession'within the range of questions of purely American policy. The annexation of these islands does not launch us upon a new policy or depart from our time honored tradi­tions of caring first and foremost for the safety and prosperity of tho United Staten.**

S ilver I n th o T re asu ry ,Responding to a resolution of Inquiry,

the secretary of the treasury has sent to the senate a statement showing the Amount of silver in the treasury, the amount of treasury notes issued for sli­ver bullion, etc. Tho statement shows that on May 1 thero wero 109,855,514 ounces of silver bullion, the cost of which was 898,874,602 and tho coinage value $141,833,089, leaving a seigniorage of $42,488,427. Tho amount of treasury notes Issued in payment of silver bul­lion outstanding May 13 last was $102,­894,280. Up to tho 1st of May last $76,­639,157 In sliver dollars had been coined under tho net of .July 14, 1890.

By JU\£ changes mado yesterday in tho representation of Democrats on tho standing committees of the senate Mr. Oormnn of Maryland succeeds Mr. Jones of Arkansan os chairman of private land claims, Mr. Jones suocoeds Mr. Gray of Delaware as chairman of addi­tional accommodations for tho library, Mr. Gray becomes chairman of Revolu­tionary claims, vice Mr. Walthall, de­ceased, and Mr. Faulkner of West Vir­ginia succeeds.Mr. Turple of Indiana as chairman o| Potomac river front im­provements. • •• - -

The house held a brief session yester­day: Two important bills affecting la­bor wero passed, one limiting the labor of persons employed upon government works and In government service to eight hours dally and tho other pro­viding for the appointment of a nonpatr- tlsan labor commission to consider leg­islative problems affecting labor.

Considerable progress was made by the senate yesterday In considering the war revenue measure. Mr.. Jones of Arkansas presented In a general state­ment the views of the.Democratic mem­bers Of the finance committee. He main­tained that the taxes imposed by the pending bill ought to be levied upon property and not consumption; that the policy of the Republican party always had been to Impose taxes upon con-

’ktlih^TiOn, while that of the democratic party was to impose It upon property. He believed that taxation that would raise $150,000,000 would be amply suffi­cient to be carried by this bill and that If the exigencies of. the war should dem­onstrate that more money was needed congress coiild-provide-lt-later.™ He op­posed the proposition to Issue bonds and certificates of Indebtedness far In excess of the requirements of the war and held that the expehses should be paid by the fcdvfcrnment as^hej^rjiroffresses.

GONE TO PA R TS UNKNOWNHOME AND BUSINESS TIES

BOTH SUNDERED.

H arrison Grant' ond Mro. Doborob R ow -D aoX slow S o ld lo H avo De­parted T ogether for R eg ion s Un­k now n— G rant T ook Cool) W ith Him B olongtng to Hla P artner..A woman’s wiles have again caused

trouble in this city between a man and his family and the partner with whom he wits associated in business. A faith­ful wife and mother.is left in the loroh with three small children to care for, while the business partner, although still able to eontiuuo.is necessarily some­w hat crippled by tho sudden tu rn of events. , /

George E. Layton and Harrison Grant have for some time conducted a store for the sale of meats nnd vegetables at the corner of Main street and Spring- wood avenue. Their business flour­ished. -j ■

Yesterday morning in the firm’s mail was a notice from one ot the local hanks that tbeir account was overdrawn oomo 568. Mr. Layton opened the letters and was surprised at tne notice from the bank, as be supposed the firm had a bal­ance to tbeir credit.

His partner, M r.' .Grant, had not turned up, a t the store slued the time for closing Saturday night, although this fact had not given Mr. Layton any un­easiness. As soon as he got the ’.banh notice he went to Grant's home, in apartments over Sexton’a undertaking parlors, Sooth Main street, and was sur­prised to learn tbat Jfro. Grant hcew nothing of her husband’s whereabouts.

Investigation then brought to light the fact that Grant had loft town oome tim e on Monday, being accompanied by a woman other than his wife.

Up to last August i t is said Grant's octionB were without blemish, so far as was known, but since that tim e the tonguesof the gosslppera have associated bis name with th a t of Mrs. Deborah Bucbalew, of West Park. She was em­ployed as a domestic on Second avenue, this city, it is Bald. Her maiden name was Rose. I t appears she married Harry Bucbalew some time baok, nnd the couple have' one child, who livea with her father. Tbe couple,for some reason, had not lived together for eome time.

Grant collected all tbe money due the Arm he could get hold of before leav­ing, and Mr. Layton is nnable to tell the exact amonnt Grant took with him The money was collected, bnt no credit appears on th? books. Together with what Grant drew from the bank It is roughly estimated he had from 5150 to $200 when he departed, while some oay the amount la almost double. Theformer figures are given by Mr. Layton.

At least one person who knew Grant and tbe Buckalew woman, noticed them' leaving town together, but' their desti­nation was a secret.

Grant formerly lived in W est Grove, having recently moved to the apart­ments on Main street vacated by M. E. Sexton. His wife and three little chil­dren will be the chief sufferers on ao- connt of bis action.

Home Missionary society the auxiliary societies in tbe New Brunswick confer­ence of the Methodist Episcopal church will hold meetings at 10.80 in the morn­ing and 2.00 in the afternoon tomorrow (Thursday) ia the First church, this oity. The object is to inoresse interest in the work of the society and to estab­lish auxiliaries where none exist. Mrs. Garrison of Cranbury, president of the auxiliaries in this district, will bo pres­ent and give, an address, os will .also Mrs. Anna EOnt'of East Orange, owner of beautiful1 Kentholmo, just beyond Fletcher lake, Ocean Grove.

Casco B efore B oard o f H ealth.Counselor Samuel A. Patterson, at the

direction of tbe Asbury Park board of health, bas brought suit against Anna O. Hagerman, Taylor Norris and Uriah White, who are charged with violating the health ordinances. Mrs. Hagerman is charged with failure to construct a fresh air inlet from a house drain a t 800 Sixth avenue, in accordance with tho rules of tbe board of health. Mr. Norris and Mr. White are charged with keep­ing chiokens on tbeir property within tha city limits, which is also termed a violation of the health rules. The oases will bo heard before Polios Justice Wyokoit ou Saturday, and it ia quite probable that some interesting foots will bo brought out. ______

W ILL ANNUL FRANCHISE.THE TIME HAS EXPIRED TO

ERECT WATER WORKS.

Many O bstacles H ave Confronted the T ow nship W ater W orks Com­pany Since Its In ception —A pplica­tion for a P ranohise From Another. ■ JP a rty W ill Bo Considered. ..The Neptune township committee

held a meeting a t their headquarters on South Main etreet Monday afternoon. The usual batch of road bills were dis­posed of. -

After some discussion Township . Counsel Samuel A. Patterson was in / atructed to draft a resolution for pre-\ sontation to the board, annulling tho franehise recently granted to the'Town- ahip W ater Works company. The time Specified in the1 franchise for the com pletion of tbe water works system in the township has long since expired, and the townBhlp committee have granted an extension of time on two or three oc­casions, but still no. definite steps have hern taken to complete the work.

The Township W ater Works company has met wlch obstacles and drawbacks ever since its organization. The ab­sconding of one of its prominent officers about a year ago, with thousands of dollars|of the oompany money, was per haps tbe most serious blow. I t caused a failure on tbe part of the company and a receiver was appointed.

In due course of tim e all the rightB, franchises, property and other effects were sold at a receiver’s sale. It was bought in for tbe members of the old company at a price barely sufficient to mset outstanding'obligations, and an effort waa made to reorganize the com­pany and proceed with the work.■ W ith the understanding that the wa$pr system yvfia to be put in working as soon as possible, the spplioation for an extension of time was granted by the committee until M&Y 1- Tlie time of the extension expired, and still no effort bad been made to begin the work, and the water system was in the Bame condition it has been for n year past.

The township committee then notified those interested to appear before them and show caUBe why the franchise should not be annulled. Receiving no response they have deoided to take final action at tbeir next meeting.

A t the same time another application for a township water franchise will be considered. ' 1

Counselor Patterson was also in­structed to draft an ordinance provid­ing for the construction of sidewalks and curbing on Asbury avenue, from the New York and Long Branch railroad west to the Methodist church. Tills mat­ter will also come before the board at their next meeting.

ACTIVE BOARD OF TRADE.— \ .

Seek ing to A dvance t|io Various In- tc rests o fB th d ley Beach;

A largely attended and enthusiastic meeting of the Bradley Beach board of trade was hold yesterday afternoon. It was attended by^fudge Davis and H. B. Koster, summer residents and large property owners in the borough.

Harry P ra tt, Addison Hutchinson and Robert Peterson were elected .members of thoboard.

Herman L. Maddox and J. J . Ma- gathan were appointed a committee to have the constitution and bylaws of the board printed a t once. They were adopted a t a yecent meeting, and are nearly alduplicato of those governing tbe Asbury Park board of tracje.

The committee recently appointed to urge the erection of a new depot dt Bradley Beach reported progress.

The committee on tlio erection of bridges over Wesley and Fletcher lakes, were urged to,use every effort to bring about the desired result. I t is the ob­ject of the board of trade to have an ooean boulevard open oil the way to Shark river. The borough has gruded and graveled Ocean avenne, and nil that is now necessary is to get the Ocean Grove association to agree to have bridges erected. It is beiieved that thio can bo accomplished in due time by con­stant agitation. .

The new board 'is doing good work, nnd should be encouraged/by every resi­dent and property owner of the bor­ough. Such an organization is of great advantage to any municipality, as they can takp hold of matters of pubiio inter­ests and bring about good results which could pot otherwise bs accomplished.

Men Aro Anxtons to M ove From Sea G irt—Coast D efense D uty Probable F o r Third R egim ent—No Orders F o r Second or T hird R eg im en ts to

-<tiove. ■. .Everything has been bustle and bustle

about Camp Voorhees yesterday and this morning, especially so in that portion of the camp occupied by the First regi­ment, whioh has been ordered to Falls Church, Va., by way of Washington. The unusual activity was caused by in­formation that the First would more late this afternoon. - _:

This information is verified .by; the following telegram which Governor Voorhees sent to -the war department yesterday afternoon:

Colonol Edward A. Campbell, command­ing the First regiment, New Jersey National guard. Volunteer infantry, ordorea to Wash­ington D. C., requests mo to say in answer to your tclogram, that hla organization will leave camp a t Sea Girt tomorrow after­noon, fully equipped as to clothing, tents, and equipments. This has, in a large meas­ure, been made possible by your kind per­mission to purchase supplies wherein they were deficient. ' . .

fo s te r M. Voobiieeb, Governor. The transportation will ba under the

supervision-of Major A. H. McCauley, U. 8. A. The route will be via Wash­ington over tbe Pennsylvania railroad, thence by the Southern railroad to Falls Church. The order provides for one day’s ration, but it is thought that this will be insufficient, as this nqich time will be consumed in; transit alone. Cof­fee will be carried in tfie canteens.

The quartermaster's department yes­terday 'finished the equipment of the First regiment, furnishing (h^men witji, underclothing, suspenders and blue shirts. General Donnelly wants the soldiers well equipped and even p u r ­chased 8,0000 pairs of shoe strings, so thut every man should have a a extra pair. The regiment will carry- its own tents. - . -

The Third regiment has been ordered to”report the command to Major-General Wesley Merritt at the headquarters of the department- of the east,-at-Govexn- or’s Island, for duty. Colonel Lee has reported by wire, but has not received any reply as yet. I t is not thought that there is any prospect of tbe regiment moving from Sea Girt for some time, and if moved will probably be assigned to coast defense. The regiment is not thoroughly equipped as yet, although matters are being hurried as rapidly aa

Colonel Hine of the Second is pleased' over the situation and says he has no idea of when or where his Command will go. -A provost guard was estab­lished last night for the first tim e and in consequence M-masquan was deserted. The guards have been instructed to al­low no enlisted men to leave the cam p and the order is being gen era lly carried out.

Notes Abont Company A,Company A members w ere k e p t busy

as usual yesterday receiving and en te r­taining guests. .

There is a feeling of curiosity among the boys as to where their destination will be. Some want tp go to the Philip­pines and others express a desire to see Cuba. The general impression prevails; however, that they are to be detailed for coaet defense service somewhere along the Atlantic seaboard.

The boys are all in good health and enjoy camp life. Private Dean Thomp­son, who was in the hospital, suffering from a severe cold, is with his company aguin. _

Private Charies’E. King, jr., resumed his post at Governor. Voorhees’._hea<t quarters last night. That Charlie haa made a faithful and efficient assistant to Governor Voorhees, is evidenced by the fact that he haa again received the h -nor of being detailed at headquarters.

Sergeant Coyte^writes to tb e P r e s s thut the boys are'under deep obliga tions fop the very useful haversack bags re-' ceived today, and they desire to thank all who contributed in any way to this comfort, especially Mrs. - Vermeule, Mrs. Grenelle, Miss Shipman; .Messrs; Hemmenway, the Steiubach company, and Cook’s Bee Hive, The boys will be reminded of the kind donors every time tbey eat tbeir rations.

A D rum m er Killed.John T , McLaughlin, a member of

Company -D, Third regiment, of New Brunswick, was killed a t New Bruns­wick yesterday by a Philadelphia ex­press, while trying to hoard his train for camp at Sea Girt. He was returning from b short leave of absence; which he had- just passed a t the . home of his parents. His body was taken home and wili be buried with military honors,' / .

A Montreal Paper Accuses tho ex-Mlnla-. I ter ot Treachery, - ...

Montreal, May 18.—The Dally Star lit yesterday’s Issue says that,, although Senor Polo y Bernabe, the embassador to the United States, claims tbat he and his suit are only Btaylng here to organ­ize the consular service of Spain In America, - there are grave suspicions’ that they are here for something en­tirely different and that from investi­gations made and facts brought to light It Is shown that they are directing from here an extensive,system of Spanish se- tret service which has Its headquarters In rooms 126 and 128 of tho Windsor hotel, occupied by Polo, and Its branch­es all over the United States. -

The article goes on to say that It Is astonishing that Chief Wilkie of the United States secret service haa not discovered this and states that from what has been learned from secret serv­ice men the actual enlistment of men for secret service work goes on there and that In ono Instance a woman In this city has been approached for the purpose and even supplied with - the necessary clqthes, for the work. The paper bIbo states that Hhe cable bills of the party for messages sent by both' the Great Northwestern and Canadian Pacific Telegraph companies amount^ to $306 a day. They communicate wltb their agents in the United States by means of tho cable to London, from where their messages are cabled back to America and vice versa. To be sure of secrecy they send half of. each of their cipher message by ono and the other half of the message by the other company, the former connected vvith the Western Union and the latter wifh the Postal company In the United States. _ I

heading you had a little item in last Tuesday’s paper that might mislead many of my friends and tho citizens of your city generally. I mode a host of loyal friends last summer, and I do not want them or any citizen to think tbat I wanted to evade anything in my con­tract in the slightest degree. -

I conducted- my band personally in 1897, and will do so again in 1898. A man'a 1 ‘whole time” covers 24 hour s daily, and I merely thought the ver­biage was “ lopsided,” not the intent, and asked to have it changed. I am per­fectly willing to waive the matter. When I agree to do anything I expect always to keep failh.-and I expect also to leave Asbury Park next September with more friends and more satisfied lovqra of.c rue .music than I didlashyear.

D R U G S T O R E C H A T .H o u s e h o l d A m m o n ia is one

of those small necessities that makes life enjoyable. That is if it’s good Aitimonia.

W e have received a new lot that we think is a little bettef* than any other on the market for the price. And the price is only lo cents. A short time ago this same quality could not be duplicated for 15 cents. Large bottles, rubber stoppers, ana filled with the best and strongest Ammonia that can be made for household use.

A n d o n ly 10 cents fo r good Ammonia.

-Tf -While on the Ammonia sub­

ject we will mention that -we also have the largest and best bottle o f V io le t Ammonia, for toilet and bath, that you evef; saw. It is ve/y finely perfumed^ with violet and is wonderfully refreshing for the bath. Violet Ammonia is the finest thing for washing the hair that can be used. It cleanses-perfectly and makes hair grow. -

Thi? Violet Ammonia will please you greatly.’ It is as economical to use as soap and has a better clearising actiori. Price only 25 cents. T ry it.

& S h f i t ' S a l ^ ,You hear ol 39 arid 39 cent shirts everywhere.— Truck. W e don’t handle them, be cause we couldn’t guarantee

' them. But we’v e a shirt at 50c. to offer ) ou that for all around excellenceof material and making has never been equaled anywhere at any­thing near the price. They are equal to custom shirts in every way, are full fashioned and are generous in size. See our window. ,

A Fake.You need not look in a dic­tionary to know that a fake is a pretension. When a man pretends to sell you a $ 2 hat for $ 1 5 0 or $ i 69, that hat is a fake. W e won’t call it a fraud; it is piobably worth the price, but why say anything about the higher figure? W e charge just $ 2 for our “ two dollar hats,

x and that is exactly what we call them. They’re a good, solid, satisfactory two dol­lars’ worth. ,W e carry both Alpines and Derbys from $ 1 to $3, but our $ 2 hat is hand shaped in all the popular blocks, and will look well as long as you wear them.

See O u r W i n d o w .W e do not exploit catch­penny prices— 99c., 59c. and similar figures find no place here. Their common use is to raise prices, and by artifi­cial appearance to convey a fatse notion of cheapness.
