The Itepublle Want tbe Innate t Act n th Treaty at Once Beepatchee from Japan Will Be Laid Before Oar Government-Bit- ter Comment ofJapane Newspaper. Washington, Julr 8. Official despatches from t ho Hawaiian Government representing an avprebcnslvo toollnc among tho people of the Island on account of tho attitude of Japan wero laid before Assistant Secretary Day this morn- ing by Mr. Hatch, the Hawaiian Minister. 'Xho despatches show that tho authorities of tho re- public nro uneasy and foar trouble boforo an- nexation can bo accomplished. Mr. Hatch expressed to tho Assistant Secre- tary, by direction of his Government, tho earnest hopo that tho ratlllcatlon of tho annexation treaty would bo expedited, which was a diplo- matic way of telling the United States that efforts should bo made by tho Executive to havo tho Senate act at once. Japan's attltudo toward the annexation of Hawaii will be moro fully made known to tho Stato Deportment or next day. Tho note written by Secretary Sherman In nnsNvcr to the Japanese protest against annoxatlon has not been accepted by tho Toklo Government as a refutation of tho claims, and the reply which Mr. Torn Hoshl, the Japancso Minister here, will send to the Secretary of State will express the dissatisfaction with which tho contentions o( tho United States nro vlowcd. Minister Hoshl Is still waiting also for a reply to his personal note to Secretory 8herman ask- ing why he had been notified that no Hawaiian treaty won pending:. Tho last section of the Japaneso reply was received by Mr. Hoshl by cable It Is very lone, and discusses In detail all the points mado by Mr. Sherman. No Inkling concerning tho arguments ad- vanced to counteract Mr. Shorman's represen- tations will be given at tho Japanese Legation, where Mr. Hoshl continues to assure thoso who Inquire about the position of his Government that Japan has no designs on the Hawaiian Islands. Granting this, there Is no doubt that Japan will not allow tho islands to become part of the United States in accordance with the pro- visions of the treaty now beforo the Sonata without a struggle, a purely diplomatic struggle, in all probability, but one that will be full of pica and perhaps soma display of feeling. Tho situation between the Toklo and Wash-tsgto-n Governments has not Improved and tho differences over the question at Issue may lead to a rupture. Japan believes that her rights in Hawaii havo not been respected in the treaty, and, while wishing to maintain her friendly re- lations with this country, her pride has been touched to such an extent that a total disregard en the part of our Government tor the repre- sentations she has made and will moke will probably be followed by some mark of disap- proval, perhaps tho recall of her diplomatic rep- resentatives hero or retaliation of a commercial Character. Mr. Hoshl has received official despatches from Toklo and Honolulu about the trouble over the refusal at the Hawaiian authorities to allow Japanese subject to. land in the islands. i Tho despatches say that there ts nothing in the nature of the negotiations now going-o- for a settlement of the differences on that subject to Indicate any probability of serious trouble be- tween the two countries. Everything tbe Min- ister has received shows that no ground for ap- prehension exists. Sajt Fhahctsoo, July a The Hawaiian news- papers which were Drought by the steamer City of Pekin y contain further extracts from the Japanese Journals, all clamoring for a show of force by Japan In Hawaii and all do- - I nouncing Count Okuma for what they call his cowardly policy In truckling to the United States. The native newspapers froth at the mouth and express contempt for both Hawaii and America. The Hocht expresses astonishment at the con- tumacious attitude of the little republic, and concludes that It must hare some backing not apparent to the public. If America really- - does support Hawaii. Japan must act with boldness I and determination. The tone of the article la almost defiant. The Toklo Shtmbun traverses strongly the theory advanced recently by tbe Tomiuri, that If Hawaii does not wish, to hare Japanese imml- - Santa, the best plan for the Japanese Is to going thither, since there are many other places where they can And equally lucra-- l Uve employment. The BAimbun concludes that, 1 in advancing such a pusillanimous proposition, H the yomfurt wrote at Count Okunias dictation, and the object of making the statement was to prepare tho public for the policy of \scuttlo\ B contemplated by the Count. The JtafnfcAf understands that the Japanese Government may be obliged to dispatch more warships to Hawaii. It says: \The present affair Is not really between Hawaii and Japan merely, but between Japan and the power that bocks Hawaii. The demands made by Japan upon tbe Hawaiian Government merely lead to the convoking of formal councils to pass re- al piles Inspired by that power. Therefore, it may not bo unnecessary for Japan to dispatch add!-- j tlonal warships.\ H Tho Yoroxonu, after alluding to the necessity for sending more warships to Hawaii, says: \wo are greatly surprised at tho unskilful diplomatic action of Count Okuma. Should he fall to take decisive measures on account of the United States being; at the back of Hawaii the world will laugh at Japan for being humiliated bya small Island like Hawaii.\ K The Japan Herald, an English paper, says the K Japanese ure perfectly awaro that America Is only strong at home and is weakest on tho m Pacific coast. The Japan Gazette thinks Japan will break off m alplomatio relations with Hawaii. The most remarkable feature of all these Vm editorial utterances Is tho complete surprise which the annexation treaty proved. It was apparently the lost thing which they expected. As the Hawaiian .Star says: \If anything could urge tho United States to action It will be the m violent language In which the Japanese editors of influential papers show the real dosigu of j tholr Government toward Hawaii.\ I SECRETARY QAOE REBUKED. The Senate insane Committee Reseats His I Paaelrnl advice an Ravenna. til Washington, July 8. Secretary Game's b- oll lated letter to the Finance Committee recora- - mending a duty of one cent a pound upon re- in fined sugars manufactured from imported raw IB material was not tho only suggestion made by IH the Secretary of tbe Treasury and ignored by IB tho Finance Committee. Publication of tbe let--J ter has dovelopcd the fact that tbe Secretary submitted various like propositions which were j regarded as so entirely impracticable and fancl-- (ul that they did not receive the slightest con Ah slderatlon from members of tbe Finance Com-- mlttce. Efl A member of the committee said y that tho Secretary's letters indicate that ho regards M it as a part of his official duty to give advice to m the Finance Committee, and contain, moreover, m the unwarranted Intimation that tho committee M had asked for his opinion and advice. Such is sld not to bo the case, however, and the pointed I manner in which tho committee rejected tho r secretary recommendations has served as a notice to him that bis Ideas with regard to the ', royenuo are not indorsed by tho Il- eal publican leaders of the Senato.

Capt Milton Hyatt's cloctrlo launch, the Rambler, a small boat that was used to carry excursionists along tho shore near Bath Beach, was chartered lost even- ing to tako a party ot sixteen men and women from Field's Pavilion plor, at tho foot of Bay Twenty-secon- d street, down to the Captain's pier. Tho excursionists wanted to lcavo tho pavilion at 10:30 o'clock. Earlier In the evening Capt. Hyatt, with his engineer and dromon, took tho launch to the nd of tho pier and moored hor there, so that they might bo ready whenovor tho oxcurslonlsts wanted her. Tho pavilion was crowded with pcoplo watch- ing tho vnudovlllo show that is given there every evening, and Capt. Hyatt, his fireman and engineer, thinking that tho people who had hired them might not want to go for somo time, lay down in tho small deokhouso ot tho boat (or a little sleep. About 0:49 they got word that their party was ready to start Capt Hyatt aroused his crow and went himself to tho motor which generates the electricity to turn on the power. Ho started to open the valvo, and a stream of flamo pushed it all tho way open. So violent was tho action ot tho Oro that tho Captain's loft hand was skinned and bruised by It as it flow open. The name struck him square in the face and sot tiro to his whiskers on the left sldo. The Captain yelled. Ho bolted through tho cabin window and tho two members of bis crow followed him. All of them ran up to the bow of tbe boat and begun to yell for holp. Tho flames burned through tho cabin quickly and soon enveloped tho wholo boat. A skill put oft from tho shore and tbe thrco men wero taken on board of her and rowed to tho pavilion. Uy tho tlmo thoy reached thero the people who had besn watching tho vaudeville porformunce had dis- covered that tho launch was ou fire. Tho boat was ablaso from end to end. Tho flames lighted up tho plor and pavil- ion, and most of the several hundred people who were there thought that Flelds's place was on Qre. A small panlo started, but no one was injured, and the pcoplo soon recovered their presence of mind. One ot theJlrst men who saw tho Are was Carl Brand, a waiter in the pavilion. Ho was near tho end ot tho plor whoa it started, and saw Cipt. Hyatt and the to men run out to tho prow ot tho boat As they did so tho wholo ot the craft seemed to begin burning at tbe samo moment Brand thought that the threo men on it wero In danger. He Jumped Into a rowboat that was lying near tho plor and started out to savo mem. lie gor auout ten feet when the rowboat upsot Ho was thrown into the water. Frightoned as ho was, he forgot almost all he ever knew about swim- ming and began to cry for help. The peoplo on tho pier heard him and Immediately become much excited. Ho was rescued with somo diffi- culty. The Itambler cost Capt Hyatt W.500. and Is damaged to the extent ot about 81.500. She was burned to the waters edge, but hor hull is not badly damaged. Tho nro alarm was rung, and when the engines responded John Uefferen of Truck 43 tried to climb on board. His hands were badly burned. Or. Quee and Dr. Cockran attended to tho In- jured, none of whom was badly hurt Next to too damage done to bis launch, the most painful port ot the Ore to Capt Hyatt was the loss of his whiskers.

One woman dropped her baby, and several fainted. Tn a few minutes the boat's engines were stopped and the deck bands pacified the passengers by explaining that nothing serious had happened; that a bar ot Iron had broken, disabling th machinery, and that the boat would put in to one ot the docksat City Island, whore repairs could be made In a few minutes. In the mean time the engineer and fireman made an investigation, ana learned that the cross-hea-d gib bad broken, causing the piston rod and one ot the sideways to break. Capt Bunco, who was In command, man- aged to drift the Carroll over to the dock at City Island, otter raising signals ot distress. The crew of the Carroll got out hawsers and hugged the dock. Then the starter at Glen Isl- and was Informed ot the accident by telephone. The Glen, of the some line, was lying at the pier at Glen Island ready to leavo at 0 o'clock. As soon as the news of the accident reached Glen Island the Glen was ordered to go to the Car- - roils assistance. She did so, and as many of the 400 passen- gers from the Carroll as the Glen could tako wore transferred to her. Tho Glen proceeded to the city and made a landing at the dock foot of East Thirty-secon- street and th Mattea-wa- n, the next boat down, brought tho rest of tho Carroll's passengers.

Mrs. George Huber, tho wife of a night watchman of this city, now does regular duty on hor husband's beat in tho Third ward. The district includes a number of the leading business houses ot the city, but there are several other watchmen In the samo .locality, and Huber found recently that 920 a month was as much as he could oyer hope to realize from his Job.

Information which TrtB Sum ho been able to obtain regarding efforts of the CItlzons' Union to boom Seth Low at a n Mayoralty candldoto, indlcntes that the boomors aro not meeting with tho success which somo ot them havo claimed. Tho grand total ot signatures to declarations favorable to Mr. Low's candi- dacy was about 10,000 last woelc As has already boon stated, many ot thoso declarations nro qualified by the provision that Mr. Low must bo tho nomlneo of tho regular Republican organ- ization. Most of thoso 10,000 signatures wero obtained by tho hardest kind of hard work on tho part ot paid canvassors, who scoured tho office buildings and big morcanttlo establish- ments pleading for signatures for Mr. Low. This method of canvassing has been abandoned lately, aa tho ground, scorned to have been worked over very thoroughly, and tho canvass- ers, for somo weeks, havo been kept busy hunt ing up well-to-d- o citizens to obtain tholr signa- tures for Mr. Low's candidacy prior to tholr for Europe or' their country summer homes. Besptto this hard work tho popular demand (solicited) for Mr. Low's candidacy for Mayor has not attained such proportions, as to bo at all assuring to tho Cits' managars. Tho organized laUftr annox to tho Union has proM-nver- disappointing. Gcorgo IL Warner and William J.

An effort will bo mado to stir tho labor men up in behalf of the candidate, and plans are already being considered looking to a public demonstration far Mr. Low ou Labor Day tho first Monday in September. This moans that the Cits tuwo not yet secured enough oldonco to satisfy Mr. Low that there Is a groat popular demand that ho should run for Mayor, and It also moans that they will not attempt to nomlnato him In August it ho will consent to be nominated at all.
