f WisnixoTosr, P. C. (Special). President
SKKiuloy pent to tho Senate the draft of a
now treaty for the annexation of tha Ha
waiian Islands by ths United States, signed
at the State Department Wednesday morn
. iuij, together with a inegsngo giving a his
torical review of tha relations between the
Islands and tho Unltod Satos, and urging
. the ratification of the treaty. Immediately
after Us dolivcry by Trlrata Secretary Fru
eon, tha Senate, on motion of Senator Dav
is, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, went Into executive session and ths
mematfe and treaty were read.
The treaty was signed by the plenipoten
tiaries of tlio United States and Hawaii,
nppoiuted by tlioir respective Oovernments
for that purpose. In the dlplomntlo room
cf tha r.tita Department at 9.80 o'clock
n. ru, l'trare was no one present save the
litgli contracting parties, the.Aaslstant Seo
retarios, and the representatives of the
press. The treaty was signed In duplicate
by Secretary Sherman for the United States,
and 51 inistor Francis K. Hatch and Bpeolal
Commissioners Lorln If. Thurston and H.
W. Kenny for Hawaii. A new gold pel iras
is l. After the signatures bad been at
tache! and hearty congratulations ex
chnngud, a photographer perpetuated the
soene by the aid of tha camera.
Before the final signature of the docu
ment the Socretary of State was presented
with a formal protest by the Japanese Gov
ernment, through its legation here, against
the consummation of the agreement.
The treaty provides that the Government
of the Hawaiian Islands cedes to the United
Mates absolutely and forever all rights of
sovereignty in and over the Hawaiian Isl
ands and Its dependencies and that these
Islands shall become an Integral part of the
territory of the United States. The Gov
ernment of Hawaii also cedes to the United
States all public land", puhlio buildings and
public property of every description.
Congress shall enact special laws to gov-
ern the disposition of the lands In the
Hawaiian Islands. AH revenue from these
lands shall be used solely for the benefit of
the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands for
educational and other publia purposes.
The Hawaiian Islands shall be admitted
Into the Union as a Territory of the United
States, looal laws to be passed by a local
Legislature, but subjoct to the approval of
the President.
Until Congress shall applythe laws of the
United States to the Islands, the present
laws of Hawaii are to govern the islands.
The present treaties and laws governing
Hawaii's commercial relations with foreign
nations shall remain In force until Congress
shall take action. Further Immigration of
Chinese laborers is prohibited pending Con
gressional action, and the entry of Chinese
from Hawaii into the United States llke
, Wise Is prohibited.
The United States assumes the public
, debt of Hawaii, but with a stipulation that
this liability shall not exceed $4,000,000.
The treaty before it becomes effective shall
be ratified by the proper authorities of the
United States and Hawaii.
No mention is made of any gratuity to
I.iliuokalani orKaiulanl.
Tho news of the protest of Japan was a
great surprise to the Hawaiian Legation.
The essential point as to the protest, it Is
said at tho Hawaiian Legation, is whether
the protest is against the annexation of
Hawaii or is merely a protest reserving to
Japan all her rights under the existing
treaty with Hawaii. It Is believed that it is
the lsttor. This treaty, made In 1871, pro
vides that natives or citizens of one coun
try shall have the uninterrupted right to
enter into, reside and trade in the other
country. Under international lnw the an
nexation of Hawaii to the United States
would abrogate this treaty Moreover, a
new trenty between the United States and
Japan, made some time ago, to become ef
fective in 1899, provides that tho United
States may exclude Japanese. If Hawaii is
annexed, mo enect would be to permit the
United Status to exclude the Japanese from
Hawaii.

fUme fitartd In the Second Story of the
Great Immigration Building Rescue
of Two Hundred 1 Tightened Immi
grants Property of the Poor Home
Seekers De.troyed In the Storerooms.
New York Citt (Spoolal). The big Immi
grant landing bureau at Ellis Island was
roduced to ashes early Tuesday morning,
and two hundred and fifty Immigrants
barely escaped with their lives. Thora
were forty patients In the wooden hospital
building in the rear of the main structure
who were carried out in cots just before the
hospital took fire. The Immigrants and
patients were safely landed at the Barge
Office pier at 3 o'clook a. m. Not one o1
them received so much as a burn. I
What caused this sudden conflagration Is
and may remain a mystery. William Burke,
chief of tho night watch on Ellis Island, de
clares he does not know the causa of the
lire. The fire started in the east end or
side of the main structure, which is more
than 1000 feet long ana two atones
height. Tha first floor of this building is
almost entirely given up to baggage, while
the enstern end of tho seoond story is used
for offices. The middle and southern por
tion is used for a landing bureau and de
tention rooms. .VI.,,, ,v 1
It was in this part of tile tmildini? that
most of the 250 people detained on Ellis Isl
and were sleeping. The fire started in the
end of the building toward New York, and
was not at ilrst noticed in the detention
rooms, which are cut oft from that portion
by partitions.
When Chief Night WatcTlman Burke no
ticed tho fire it was licking around one of
the towers. He at once summoned the
thirty men employed under him, who
quickly unlocked the iron gates leading
into the detention room, and aroused the
sleepers, who were reposing on benches
and on wire oots.whloh the bureau provides.
One of the night watchmen was also sent
on the jump across the bridge to the wo
man's dormitory, contained in a two-Btory
building in the rear of the landing depot.
Meantime the men in tha main building
had been rushed out and down the main
double stairway, at tha west end, to the
boat.
Burgeon J. H. White and Assistant Sur
geons White and Gideon had been aroused
by this time and they at once began to re
move the forty patients in the hospital. It
was seen at a glance that the big main
building was doomed, and it required quick
work to carry out the helpless sick before
the blistering heat prevented. an, approaoU
to the hospital building.
Meantime some of the immigrants who
had esoaped from the main building had
become anxious about (heir baggage, and
despite the fact that the vast building was
fast being encompassed by tha flames,
In all the known tongues they Insisted
that their all was contained In the boxes
and bundles whioh they had brought over.
Captain Burke and his men had to fairly
fight them baok on the boat. They wept
and wrung their hands when they found it
was impossible to save their property.
The new Immigration depot at Ellis
Island, New York Harbor, was opened on
Now Year's Day, 1891. The structure was
o. gigantio proportions. It was built at a
cost of about (500,000. An idea of the
building's Immense size may be gained
from the fact that more than four million
feet of lumber were used In its construc
tion. The huge building covered the
greater part of the island, the
area of whloh was something less
than five acres, but this was in
creased to about eight by driving spiles
about the water front and filling in the va
cant spaces with earth. The building was
three stories in hight, with a tower at each
corner. The ground and upper floors
measured each 404 by 154 foet. The first
floor was devoted to railroad and baggage
transfers and private offices. On the seo
ond floor the registrations and examina
tions were conducted. Among the general
fenturesof the building was a gallery which
extended completely around this floor.
From this the Immigrants could be In
spected by the publio or those interested In
them, without coming Into aotual contact
with them. There were rooms for paupers,
another for lunatios, another for those sus
pected of being contract laborers, another
for women and children, and ao on. The
telegraph and money exchange offloes, pos
tal stations, information bureau, railroad
and steamship offloes were all arranged so
as to give the new-oomors tha least possi
ble inoonvenionce. Sleeplng-room were
provided on the floor above.
BARNEY BARNATO COMMITS SUICIDE.
Tha World Famous "Klnr of the Kaffirs"
Jumps Into the Sea.
. Barney Bare ato Is dead. The South Afri
can "diamond king," who la a few years
rose from the position of an "assisted" Brit
ish Immigrant to tha position ol five hun
dred times a millionaire, committed sutclds
by jumping overboard from tha steamer
Hoot, that left Cable Bay, Cape Town, South
Africa, June 3. for Southampton, England.
Tha news comes In a eabla dispatch from
Funchal, Island of Madeira, off the west
coast of Morocco, where the British steamer
Scot touches.
The report of Bamato's suicide was made
at Funchal by the captain of the steamer
Scot. His report was that Barnato, who
had not shown tha least sign of agitation,
but who had kept rather more closely to
his oabin than was his habit on board ship,
suddenly appeared on deck whllo most of
the passengers were In the saloon, and with
a cry that the second offloer thought was a
curse, and a passanger says was only an
unmeaning shriek, dashed over the side.
The engine were Immediately reversed;
life bnoys were thrown to the man, who
seemed to be struggling in the water, but
be was either unable or unwilling to reach
them. The drill for a "man overboard" on
British steamships Is efficient and prompt
and no time was lost In getting out a boat.
They rowed back to where Barnato'a
body could be seen tossing on the waves,
and in very few minutes the boatswain had:
his hand in Barnato's hair and in another
moment he was in the boat. Every attempt
was made to revive him, but artificial
respiration, massaging of his abdomen
and rolling him on a barrel were equally
Ineffective.
The most extraordinary chsraHer among
modern money makers was dead; the man
whose inoome a few years ago was placed
at 25.000,000 a year.

The great Exposition, commemora
tive of the founding of the State of Ten
nessee, was opened May 1, under the
mot auspicious circumstances, at
Nashville. This Expositiow marks a
great epoch not only in the history of
Tennessee, but of the whole South. It
illustrates the wonderful transforma
tion of the South, under the powerful
stimulus of manufacturing industries,
the consequent improvement of af?"
cultural resources, and the develop
ment' of railways. A striking object
lesson in practical economics, this dis
play of the garnered fruits of industry
shows the eflect of the mario touch of
capital and ener?? in the development
and enrichment of the South. It will
afford a great practical leBSon of prioe -less
value, and prove an excellent
stimulus to further effort.
The Tennessee Exposition is one of
the finest ever attempted in the South.
The situation is most admirable. Nash
ville, situated in the midst of a charm
ing, fertile company, is one of the most
beautiful and progressive cities of the
South. The grounds are beautiful by
nature, and have been improved by ai t.
Tho large and handsome buildings are
models of architectural skill, and ex

".Castoria Is the best remedy for children of

far distant when mothers will consider the
real interest of their children, and use Castoria
instead of the various quack nostrums which
are destroying their loved ones, by forcing
opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other
hurtful agents down their throats, thereby
sending them to premature graves."

Nothing could be fairer, more phi

flicted, than the offer of T. A. Slooum,
M. 0., cf New York City.
Confident that he has discovered a
reliable cure for consumption and all
bronohial, throat and lung diseases,
general decline and weakness, loss of
flesh and all conditions of wasting, aud
to make its great meiits known, he will
send free, three bottles to any reader
of the Elkin Times who may be suf
fering. Already this "new scientific course
of medicine" has permanently cured
thousands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty a duty which he owes to bumnu
ity to donate his infallible cure.
He has proved the dreaded con
sumption to be a onrable disease be
youd any doubt, and has on Ule in his
American and European laboratories
testimonials of experience from those
benefited and cured in all parts of the
world.
Don't delay until it ia too late. Con
sumption, uninterrupted, meins speedy
and certain death. Address T. A. Slo
cum, M. C, 98 Pine street, New York,
and when writing the Doctor, give ex
press and postoflloe address, and please
mention reading this article in the
Elkin Times.
