The Questlon of the Annexation of Hawall
the Chict Matter of Intnerest at
%Vashlngton.
WASRINOTON, Jan. :i.-There are some
important developments in the Hlawaiian
situation. First, it is I retty clearly indi
anted that the administration is not in ctny
way lukewarm in the matter, as was at
first supptoed. Secondly, the action of the
commander of the eoston, against which
Great Britain is about to file, or has filed.
a formal protest, has received the official
apI royal of the president and cabinet.
Sentiment in favor of annexing is rapidly
extending, and several members of the
cabinet have expressed themselves in favor
of it. It has been reported that President
Harrison is in favor of annexation. Al.
though the course pursand by Minister
Stevens in ordering the Boston matinee on
shore was without im plicit instructions
from the government, his action was jully
approved by the president.
In the senate there is a distinctively
American feeling on the Hawaiian ques
tion which is not confined to any party.
There can be no doubt that a majority of
the members of the foreign relations com
Iaittte look with favor upon the establish
ment of American domination on the
islands, but in just what shape is a matter
of detail not yet considered. Objection to
Chsndlee'a resolution upon the subject as
offered to-day is not looked upon in the
light of anti-annexation feeling, but rather
.t fear on the part of the opponents of the
anti-option bill that if it had not gone
over until to-morrow the day would have
been spent in its discussion and the
delivery of anti-option spooohes would
havre been prevented. Dolph, a mem
bor of the committee on foroign
relations, said this evening: "lThe United
States has been waiting fifty years
for this opportunity. and now that it has
come in auch a way the problem can be
solved without difficulty. I certainly see
no reason why we should hesitate. The
ran who would oppose what is the mani
fest daty of the country in this matter is, I
think, hardly deserving a seat in congres..
I certainly favor thecontrol of these islands
by the government of the United States."
Mr. Hisook, another member of the
acme committee, is also in favor of annexa
tion. "I believe." said he, "this govern
nent should prevent any interfe ence in
this matter on the part of any other power.
t is a matter that concerns us wholly, and
for one, I may say I amn in favor of the es
tablisllment there of a territorial form of
government under the fag of the United
States."
sine meDRer Or IDo committee Who did
not like to be quoted, said the only stum
bling block ho saw in the way was the pos
a.ble action of the honse. If it were
swaved by the influence of certain gentle
men who contiolled appropriations, it
would. he thought, be ehort-sighted policy
to consider the coat when there was so much
at stake in the matter of the perpetuation
of the safety of the republic and the ac
aniremeit of that which would enable us
to comlpel the respect of natives who were
now friendly, simply because it was good
policy to be friendly. In a country like the
United States, as he looked upon it, it was
of little mioment whether the annexation of
Hawati involved the expenditure of thou
sands or millions.
Senator Chandler's resolution requests
the p eaident to lay before congress any
trenty Iie may make for ratification by leg
islation. The purport of the language was
to crinit the house of representatives to
shale in the responsibility for the disposi
tion of the suhlect, and not have action
token in the senate and behind clos ed doors.
I'ndoubltedly this is calculated to etrenuth
Icn tile iproposition contained in the resolu
tion looking to annexation. Chandler says
the t:mue ha come for the United States to
annex the l-lawalian islands. "For years
they .hav been gravitating towna d us, but
as long as a self-supporting government
could be maintained on the islaule there
was no necessity for annexation. Now,
however, it is apparent the gove nment can
no longer stand, and the people are willing
to come to tie. It will not be necessary for
the United States to embark in a general
policy of annexation or colonization. What
we want is Hawaii in the Pacific and one or
two points in the West lundie. We need
I thenm for coaling stations and for strategic
onti oats, and we can stop the.e."
'lbhe Chandler resolution will come up in
the senate in the morning hour to-morrow,
tuntlet someu diversion ie tmade.
In the homle there w's a diversity of
views. Watson, of (1 orgia, voiced the
pcople's I arty idea. "It is a job. and noth

Lavmagsrow, Jan. :O0.--Bpeolal. '-The
cltizens of Livingston held a masis meeting
meetiG in the rooms of the demoorattoic
club to-night to devise ways and means to
defeat the bill of Senator Hatch to create
a new county out of Park. Judge Frank
Henry was selected chairman and M. itoth
secretary of the meeting. There was con
siderable speech-making before the meeting
finally settled down to business, and nearly
every speaker bad something to say about
the alleged treaobery of tenator Hatch
end Representative VanClevo, who were
elected to represent the people of
Park county, and instead, so it is charged,
are working for their own privntao te in. A
committee was appointed to visit Helena to
work against the proplosed meseure, in con
nection with citizens alleady there. Other
comrittees wee alipointed to raise funds
to secure hignler to protest against the pro
posed measuro and a committee was also
appointed to formulate an address to mem
bers of the senate setting forth the faot
that the people of I'ark county, having
been deserted by their representative, are
obliged to use other means to bhe heard by
that body.
It was represented at the meeting that
Senator hIatch end IRepresentative Van
Cleve had also domerted the peoo le of this
county in their fight to securo the state
normal school and that they would trade
their votes to D)illon for support to their
pet measure, all of which alleged political
knavery received due attention trom the
orators of the occasion.
TIlE TIIAL OF BILOOM.
For Killing 'lholans Gavin at Livingston
Last DOce emOber.
LIvrNo.TroN, Jan. :0.--[Special.]-The
oase of Charles Bloom, who is now on trial
before Judge Henry for the murder of
Thomas Gavin. Dec. 22, is attracting un
usual attention in this city. Each day
since the commencement of the trial the
court room has been crowded to the doors
and many have been turned away unable to
gain admittance. Considerable trouble has
been had the past four days in securing
a jury. The twelfth juror was finally ac
cepted this forenoon at 11 o'clock. 'The
defense objected to the deposition of
Douglas Flint, an eye-witness to the shoot
ing, being admitted in evidence. The ob
jection was made on the ground that the
justice before whom the testimony was
given had failed to sign the acknowledg
ment, Judge Henry overruled the objec
tion and allowed the deposition to be
properly signed.
The evidence submitted by the prosecu
tion was in substance that Bloom entered
the saloon and asked Gavin for the loan of
$5; that Gavin offered him $1, saying it
was all he had; that Bloom became abus
ive and struck at Gavin, who then came
from behind the bar to put Bloom out of
the saloon; that the two men fought out on
to the sidewalk, and that Bloom was
thrown to the ground; that Bloom while ly
ing on his side drew a revolver and
shot Gavin in the leg; that Gavin turned to
enter the saloon when Bloom fired again,
the shot striking Gavin in the back pro
ducing a fatal wound; that Gavin was car
ried to a room over the saloon, where he
soon after died.

h Johnson Miller Crushed to Death in a Coal
aMine.
C CHINOOK, Jan.30.--[Speciall-An accident
a occurred at Box Elder, on Monday last, in
I which Johnson Miller 'lost his life. On
a Monday Mr. Miller and family drove to his
coal mine which he had recently located,
for the purpose of procuring a wagon load
of coal. It seems that he had only begun
the development of the mine as the en
trance was only six feet wide, and the
length of the tunnel but about twelve feet.
Leaving his wagon and family at the en
trance of the mine, he proceeded to drill
a hole through the coal and striking the
dirt overhead. He placed a shot. and
after waiting a sufficient length of time for
it to explode, he thought it was dead and
lipunt in another one. This one did explode,
and too soon for the unfortunate man to
escape from the tunnel. lie was knocked
down on his face and completely buried
beceath the falling coal, which was of such
quantity that it orushed him. He was con
scious for a short time, but only his wife
being near, no aesistance could be ren
dered; in fact, with plenty of aid his life
could not have been saved, as the injuries
were principally internal and fatal in their
character.

A N[W FINANCIAL CHIEF"
Why Cleveland Selected Carlisle for
the Position of Secretary of
the Treasury.
Conalderations That Overcame the
Objection of the Sonator and
His Wife.
OUporlunlty to Make a Name That VillI
Live In History With Hamilton's
Home Life.
WAOIIrNOTOW, Jan. o8.--enator Calisle
is prnctically Secretary Carlisle already,
for, although his resignation as senator
will not take effect until Feb. 4, and his
appointment as secretary of the treasury
will not be made until March 4, he will do
little more in the senate and will from this
time on be to all intents and pnrpoees a
member of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet. From
now until Morolh 4 he will be as much the
chief adviser of Mr. Cleveland as he will be
after the inauguration.
Mr. Cleveland felt that if Mr. Carlisle
gave up his life tenure in the senate to take
the precarious and expensive placeo of a
cabinet officer, his advice and desires as to
his colleagues in the cabinet ought
to be given even more weight
than would attach to the suagestions
of the man who was to be the
leader of the cabinet, or, as we
inaccurately say, the premier. Mr. Cleve
land has always had, since he came to
know him well, more respect for Mr. Car
lisle's opinion as to public questions and as
to public men in a large sense than for that
or any other man in public life.
When Mr. Cleveland first came here he
did not know Mr. Carlisle at all, and dur
ing the first year and a half of his adminis
tration, while Mr. Randall was the most
welcome of all representatives at the White
house, Mr, Cleveland did not get well ao
J. . C. oARLISLE.
quninted with Mr. Carlisle. But during
the latter part of Mr. Cleveland's adminis
tration he consulted Mr. Carlisle about
every important matter that carme up. talk
ing with him more freely than with any
I other public man and following his advice
more frequently than that of anybody else.
t Long before the election, Mr. Cleveland,
who never doubted that he would be re
elected, had determined that Mr. Carlisle
should be secretary of the treasury in his
a next administration, foreseeing that that
would be the pont of greatest difficulty and
also of greatest hono , theleadership of the
cabinet having gradually passed from the
secretary of state to the secretary of the
treasury within the last twenty years, as
i domestic financial problems have become
more important than our foreign relations.
Mr. Cleveland had thus early planned the
preparation of an administ ation taritf bill
to take the place of the McKinley act. to be
submitted to the house of rel resentativ.s
I upon the assembling of the next congress
whether in regular or extraordinary session.
He knew that for this work Mr. Carlisle
was the very best man to be had, and he
also knew that Mr. Carlisle would be equal
to the other finaucial questions which he
foresaw would be so prominent at the very
beginning of his administration.
Accordingly Mr. Cleveland lost no timo
after the election in sounding Mr. Carlisle
as to his willingness to accept the office of
ecrestary of the treasuanry. He found him
very unwilling, and with plenty of good rea
sons why be should not accept. lie had
Ilre life place in the senate. and with no
costly social obligations, and giving him
time for enough professional work to give
him a decent income, and opportulntles for
seest and recreation, especalaly in lthe sum
imer. He has never been rugged or evsnr
robust in health, and the business of the
allie seemed imore formidable than when
Mr. Manning took it, leaving out entirely
the political work involved iil passing on
tile thousand questions of patronage which
eenators, rep-esentatlves and other public
uren would present,
'Ihese reasons and others were reinfor-ed
Irv the very decided objections of Mrs. Car

THE COLD WAVE.
It Remained Witl Helena All Day Yes
terday and Last Night.
The coldest weather experienced in Hel.
enu for five years was that of yesterday and
last night. The warmest time during the
day was at six o'clock in the morning when
the thermometer at the signal service sta
tion registered eighteen degrees below zero.
At noon it was twenty-two below, at three
p. im. twenty-four below and at six p. m. it
was thirty-one below. Early in the day
the wind was from the southwest and
was not very strong, only four miles an
hour; at six p. m. the wind switched and
came from the northwest, blowing at the
rate of eight miles an hour. Later it blew
harder and rat eight o'clock a genuine bliz
zard was raging, a high wind carrying the
loose clouds of snow in every direction. 1t
was the hardest sort of a wind to face.
cutting like a knife and almost congealing
blood when the face was exposed. About
raine o'clock thermometers on the west side
of town registered thirty-eight below;
Paschen's was at thirty-four below, while
the one at Gans & Klein's had gone down
out of eight.
The prospect last night was that before
noon to-day the record of the coldest day
in Helena since the establishment of the
signal service would be broken.
This record was made Jan. 15, 1808,
when it got down to forty-one b-
low. That cold snap began Dec. 21, 1887.
with five below, and continued without
break, ranging from five to forty-one be
low, until Jan. 23. The present cold seap
began a week ago to-day, and every day the
thermometer has registered below zero.
The next coldest day after the ,i1 record was
in February, 1887, when it dropped to forty
below. ()bservr Glass is anxious to do the
best lie can for Helena in the way of pleao
ant weather, but everyrhing seeliar to libe
against him. The chief at Washington

for Mtontana, says "he will regulate all
sorts of weather tor the iuhabitants there,

WAanIiNrot'tr, JanU. 10. --lllain', could not
have a private funeral. The surgiug waves
of publio interest swept over the barriers
anid made hr private funerail one of the
most impr res.ve I ublie dlerlorastratione.
The most enrlluet rrlen in the nation stood
around the Irhi. ,All business in the na
tional capital wars unslpended during the
services. The presence of the president,
the cabinet and supreme judges, the high
officials of congreap and the diplomatic
corps could not be more eiunifloant than
the homage of the waiting crowds who, in
re speetful silence, lined the streets through
which the funeral cortege passed.
The parlor on the second floor where the
body lay, was fairly embowered in floral
tributes from prominent people from all
parts of the country from President Hard
son down, the president's tribute being a
wreath of orchids and a cross, which were
placed on the coffin.
As the hour for the services arrived, the
mourners, Including the members of the
family, grouped around the casket, and
lev. D)r. Hamlin, standing besides the
casket, delivered the Presbyterian service
for the dead, Walter Damroach in the
meantime touching the keys of the piano
to the notes of a slow dirge. This ended
the brief but impressive service.
'1 he casket was closed and tenderly borne
to the hearse. and the p'ocesteon wended
its way slowly to the Church of the Cove
nant. The street outside was thronged
with spectators, who reverently doffed their
hats as the cortege passed. IFolloarng the
hearse were the pallbearers, then came the
members of the family, the attending
physicians and then distinguished guests in
due order.
The funeral procession arrived atchurch at
noon, and to an improvisation on the organ,
made up of several themes of hymns which
Blaine loved, the distinguished concourse
moved slowly up the aisle. The body was
deposited at the chancel rail. The services
at the church were as simple as at the
home, consisting of the service for the dead,
selections from the Scriptures and prayer.
'Then the funeral procession reformed, and
the body was conveyed to Oak Hill came
tery and laid to rest.
'1 he decorations at the church were very
rich and effective. A terrace formed by
the pulpit and rail separating the organ
gallery from the platform, afforded a back
ground for a striking mass of plants and
cut flowers. On the edge of the pulpit out
flowers were ranged in a ribbon ten or
twelve inches in width. Below this ribbon
and sauspending from across the front and
curved sides of the pulpit there were short
festoons of smilax. The baptismal font
at the right of the pulpit was twined with
i smilax tobe and bore in its bowl a bunch
of harrissi lillies. Over the cut flowers
were foliage plants. At the other end of
the rail, against the wall. stood an immense
rubber tree, and towering over all imme
diately behind the reading desk were two
kuntips palms. The fiont of the
organ was covered with curtains. Smi
las ropes draped front the apex
of the instrument to the. candelabra
on the side walls of tbh organ loft. This
decoration was made under the direction
of the public gardener, end never has been
surpassed here in either profusionl or ef
fective ensemble. Th'l space in front of
the pulpit. in which the coitin lay, was en
tirely covered with flornl emblems which
accomupanied the remains from the house.
' hese were dispersed in such way as to
heighten the effect of the stationary decora
tions.
Mrs. Blaine was not among the moutn
oer at . the chuloh. Just before
Starting the funeral proceession flon
*!lfayetto square Mrs. Blaine re-
quested to be left alone for a few minutes
with her dead. 'Ihe parlor was cleared for
this ipurpose and when Mrs. Blaine emerged
she made her way. sauported on the arnim
of her son and daughter, to the room whe e
her husband had died, andl then gave way to
her grief in utter prostration. lrr,.
lisle and other sylipathbiiaio friends
rollowcd her to tihe death chamnber, but lthe
friendily iinistratione were of no avail,
and MIs. Ilineo was compIelled to lemein
bellind. At the cemetery, on the suoceesive
terrare that border tho winding i athway
Iltniung tt the grave, scores of eDootators
were standing. Many pressed forward to
Iluck ia Ilower from the wreath on the
coiluimn that adorned the dead man's bier.
The floral tributes were so numerous that
tive wagons were neceseary to convey them
to the cemetery, where they were arranged
artistically back of the grayv on a houo
strip of oanvase.
D)r. Hamlin read the saiuple burial ser

followed by an extemporaneous praye-,
