\ Talk ~ the 'rnate over th. Annexation
of this Country To- tho United states.

WAsHlN0TON, March u In the
Senate to-day, Mr.. Payne moved to strike
from the list of select committees the
one "On relations with Canada" on the
ground that il was ursurpatorv of the
functions Of the executive and an inter
ference with the duties Of the Committee
on Foreign Relations.
Mr. IIOar said that on account Of the
latcness Of the long session and the 20.
litical campaign which followed, the
: special committee, heretofore appointed.
F had not been able 10 discharge il, duties.
and. therefore, ii was desired 10 renew
the appointment There was large
and growing body OF men in Canada
that desired annexation 10 the United
states, but it was not proposed TO ac-
complish il withouta free and intelligent
and instructed will of The people OF both
countries.
Mr. CullOm said that he desired such
investigation, and progress should De
made as would ultimate in the two coun-
tries becoming one.
Mr. Sherman favored the appointment
of the select committee He did not be-
lieye, with The long stretching border be-
tween them, the two countries could
long continue in peace.
Mr. Edmunds said that he would vote
for the committee, bnt with the reserve
that the vote would not commit him TO
the idea of fayoring annexation or polit-
ical union
Mr Gibson said that as there had been
distinct avowal that 10 was no part Of
the business of the committee 10 deal
with the political relations of Can
ada, but that il was 10 con-
fine itself exclusively 10 the
business and commercial relations, he
was disposed 10 support very cordially,
but the United States had very extensive
with Mexico, and inasmuch as I.
this select committee had no political .
mission whatever, be- suCge- ed that 10 F.
should also be instructed 10 inquire into .
the relations between the United States .
and Mexico
Nh Hoar said that he would cheer
fully vote now, or hereafter. for select
-ommittcc 10 deal with the important
and interesting subject of Mexico, but
he did not think 10 wise at this time tO
put that burden ON this select committee
Mr. Gibson lhen give notice that
yili offer resolution for the appoint
ncnt of select committee 10 inquire
nto our commercial relations with
dexico-haying nothing to do with our
political relations
Mr. Frye II any one suppose that
with Canada is to be had by
my movement on the part OF the United
states he is most profoundly mistaken.
Mr. Call favored the appointment of
his committee, and gave notice that me
would offer d resolution for the appoint
lent for like committee on the .
of the United States TO Cuba
nd the West Indies
Messrs. Hale, Morrill, and Frye also
poke i'm support of the appointment of
be committee q
Finally Mr. Payne withdrew his mo- a
on, and all the select committees were T
greed TO- J.
The Senate then went into secret ses- {
lon, and, at 2.3O adjourned

THE NAVASSA RIOTERS.
Bad Treatment and Poor Food Led ia
the Outbreak.

BALTIMORE, .21.-The trial of the Navassa
rioters was resumed today. Richard Evans, an
employee, testified that on Friday night before
the crime he was lying on porch when ''Texas"
told him they were going to stop Mr.. Roby
next morning. This was his first intimation
that murder was contemplated. Next morning
witness was sick. He saw nothing Of the riot,
but heard the guns. Witness said he had never
been promised immunity from punishment II
he testified for the government
John Jenkins, another laborer, testified that
"Texas" and "Snow" told him they were going
to strike Roby in the diggings. 1t was under
stood that after killing Roby the conspirators
were to go to fight the remainder of the white
men. They were going to kill Mahon.
When the laborers were in consultation
about the riots they said: I'VE must fight or
die together today" The treatment to the
men was bad. They were half starved and for
trivial offenses were tied up by the thumbs for
hours.
Key, who is the principal in the present case,
became so much interested when his associates
on the island told the story of his horrible
deed, that he leaned far over in his seat and
tried to catch every word that was said. Others
seemed equally concerned

THE BOARD WAS ALL RIGHT.
The First Trial Trip of the Baltimor,
and the Stewards Account.

The publication of an account of the two
trials of the new cruiser Baltimore in yester-
days STAR. with special reference to the differ
ence between them regards the entertain
ment Of the board. seems to have caused an
impression that the trial board on the first trip
felt the effects of the more liberal expenditures
on stewards account"
A Navy department Official talking to STAR
reporter this morning, declared that if any such
idea had got abroad it was erroneous. There
was, to be sure, a bountiful table supplied, but
there was nothing about the trial
which any member of the board
would care to have concealed. Con-
sidering the stewards account" which
by the way amounted to about $500, it must
be borne in mind that the trial lasted nearly six
days and that there were fully 800 persons on
board the ship to eat and drink. This is. of
course, rather steep weeks board bill, but
the average layman-or. to use seaman's
term. a landlubber- appreciates the
capabilities possessed by their brethren who go
down to the sea in ships.
The work of the naval officers on the first
trial trip of the Baltimore, it is stated at the
department was well done and was received by
the authorities without the slightest suspicion
that they were in any way disqualified for their
duties by the influence of the stewards ac-
count"
