SHALL WE TAKE THEM IN
Annexation Commissioners Are Pre-
pairing Their Argument.
FURTHER ADvICES EXPECTED.
1he Next Steamer from Hawaii VIII Have
News CONCERNING the situation Upon
the Isiand-In Regard to Judge Jack
sons Nomination Other Matters

WARRINGTON, Feb. 6.-The Hawaiian
annexation commissioners spent q quiet
sunday. Among their visitors was j. B.
Montgomery OF Portland, Oregon, who
expressed his belief that the entire Pacific
coast was united in favor OF the annexa-
tion OF the islands to the United States.
The commissioners do not expect to
make any statement to the public regard
ing their errand until after the compile
tion OF their conferences with Secretary
Foster. They will be busily engaged dur
ing the intervals between the meetings
with the secretary in preparing the argu-
ment in support OF their application for
annexation.
II is said the conference between the
secretary and the commissioners will be-
MERELY formal until after the arrival OF
the next steamer from Hawaii, which is
due at San Francisco on the Sth inst,
bringing further advice as to the situa-
tion OF affairs upon the island.
The state department expects to receive
by the steamer full reports from Minister
stevens of the events In connection with
the revolution and of what had occurred
since. The commissioners also look for
additional instructions from the provis-
ional government. Until these com
munications have been received, il Is said,
bho cOHInlbslOners Will nor Do
Presented to President Harrison.
Commissioner Carter said yesterday
that the provisional government would
not undertake any legislative action pend
ing negotiations with the United States
concerning annexation, except that the
advisory council, which stands in the
stead OF legislature, would probably re-
peal the lottery bill which the recent leg
islature passed.
As long ago IA last November, Minister
Stevens wrote letter setting forth the
advantages OF the Hawaiian islands TO the
United States and the desirablity o.
their acquisition TO this country
He said in part: "rhe time IL nea
when we must decide who shall holC
these Islands as part of their nationa
territory. IL is not possible for then
much longer TO remain alone. These peo
pie and the United States will soon b,
compelled by circumstances and events
TO decide whether the Hawaiian island
will have unity, liberty and autonom,
with the United States, or become a CO
lonial possession of European power.
"Well governed and properly developed,
the islands are capable of sustaining a
population OF 100000 to 100000. The har-
bors of Honolulu and Pearl City may be
made impregnably defensible at not large
expense. Their ultimate possession by
the United States is Of the utmost import

world. He had sometimes a naughty
way of talking, and strangers did not
altogether like him. When they
came to know him they liked him bet
ter. But in Booths company nobody
could be more simple and unaffected
than Lawrence Barrett. He absorbed
gentleness from Booth; his voice
lost it's sharpness, his whole air was
different. Barrett, of course, insisted
on his having a special car when he and
Modjeska starred jointly, but Booth
was never happy alone, and his COM

penter, were welcome and invited ia
join him while he sat in his shirt
sleeves with his pipe in his mouth and
talked. There are several things that
are peculiar in Booth. He is man who
has never sought To be interviewed and
when sought by the interviewer has
absolutely declined TO say anything
about himself that could be construed
into desire for publicity. No actor
has ever spoken with such kindness ot
his rivals, and it is hardly on record
that he has said an unkind thing of
anybody. The accidents of perform
ances he has never scolded about; the
worries which make other stars swear
never upset his temper. Something
quite singular in gentleness, manliness,
sympathy and unselfishness is Edwin
Booth. And he will be remembered
when even Garricl1 is forgotten.

WARRINGTON, Feb 8.-United State,
Fish Commissioner Mcdonald does no
look for any legislation by the pre.er
Congress for tho preservation OF tn.
salmon fisheries OF Alaska, but 1t is hi
purpose to make determined effort e
secure legislation on this subject by tn,
next Congress.
The commissioner says Il has been i'm
possible TO impress upon legislators the
Importance OF the fisheries to the United
States and the enormous pecuniary inter
ssts involved. He asserts that IL the
salmon Of Alaskan waters were properly
cared for the industry would, in n short
time, be more valuable TO the United
States than the sealing interests of Bering
Sea.
Unless some regulations are soon pro-
vidod by Congress, he fears the indiscrim-
mate catch OF salmon will be so great that
the supply will be exhausted The COM
missioner says, that i'm order to maintain
the supply, a considerable portion OF the

Tenth Century Oaks In Massachusetts,.

The great oaks of Waverly, Mass,
are survivals of an oak forest that must
have existed IN that region, according
to the geologists and students of trees,
as far back as the tenth century. They
bear every evidence of great age, and
an elm tree in the neighborhood, with
its great limbs lying on the ground and
nearly all of its branches decayed is
the most venerable object in the line of
trees that can probably be displayed in
any part of New England. 1t is well
worth visit to Wayerly just 10 see this
venerable elm. 1t is immense in the
size of its trunk, and its dignity in de-
cay is very impressive. The dozen oak
trees in the neighborhood are of the
sort that attain a very great age and
that maintain their virility unimpaired
We know of only one other tree in New
England that can be compared with
them. That is located in Ipswich and
is larger and more venerable apparent.
ly than any of the Waverly oaks, and
that and the Waverly oaks, we are
glad 10 know, have been inspected by
the state park commissioners, and are
likely to be preserved. cd.-Boston Herald
