ANNEXATION /?
That Is the Burning Question at
Washington.
SENTIMENT OF CONGRESS SEEMS
TO BE in ITS FAVOR.

Foreign Consuls Recognize the Provisional
Government = speculations as to the
Administration's PoIicy-British War
Ships Ordered to the Pacific.
WASHINGTON, January S1.-Lord Rose
bery's statement to the Hawaiian charge
at London yesterday that England, France
and Germany would protest against the
annexation of Hawaii by the United
States, is believed here to have good foun-
dation, only SO far as England is con-
cerned. The interests of France and
Germany in that country are not of sufi-
cient importance to warrant either of
them in proceeding even SO far as to pro-
test against the political absorption of
the islands by the United States, in case
it was deemed best by this country to
take that action.
DR.. Mott Smith, the Hawaiian repre-
sentative here, says the commercial in
terests of Hawaii are practically with the
United States, and although the sympa-
thies of the native popul .tion, under the
influence of the members of the royal
family, are with the English, still the
property interests of the island will even
tually control its destiny. That interest
is in favor of political incorporation with
the United States.

Is Fire a Benefit?

During his connection with The Revue
de Deux Mondes, the late orientalist,
Renan, published an interesting essay on
the myth of Pronetheus, which he traced
to East Indian legend, where the inven-
tion of fire is ascribed to the spite of a
cunning demonv
'sIs it quite certain, asks M. Renan,
"that the ancients regarded the doom OF
the inventive Titan as undeserved? Ii
debating club of scholars should dis
cuss the question whether fire has, on
the whole, been benefit to the human
race it might surprise the audience how
strong case could be made out on the
negative side."
The progress of civilization is of course
inseparable from the use of fire. But
the problem whether the phenomenon
of combustion, in its various manifesto
tions, has been a blessing rather than a
curse is very different question, and
might be impartially answered-as to
the interest Of individuals and single
centuries, yes; as to mankind and the
result of a series Of centuries, no.-San

ATHENS, January 31.-The island OF
Zante was shaken early this morning by
an earthquake in the town of Zante many
houses were wrecked, and the occupants
ran in their night clothes into the street.
The roof of the prison fell in and many
prisoners were wounded. The hospital
was shaken partly from its foundation,
and all the floors settled. The roof sank
several feet. The attendants ran from
the building, and were induced with
difficulty to return and help remove the
patients to another part of the town.
Two hours later the town was shaken
by repeated shocks, and houses fell in all
quarters. The prison became so unsafe
that many prisoners were removed. The
people in panic fled the houses and
crowded the streets and market place.
Scores of families left town tocamp in the
fields. Many dead bodies have been
found in the ruins. A hundred or more
persons rep rted injured severely. The
government has sent troops with tents
and provisions for the homeless.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Lake Auburn Spring Hotel Burned Last
Night.
Especial to the Press.l

LEWISTON, January 31.-The elegant
hotel known as the Lake Auburn Miner
al Spring Hotel, was burned tonight. 1t
is situated about miles from Auburn. 1t
is not known how the fire caught. The
hotel was very handsome house, COM
manding superb view of the lake, one
of the loveliest sheets of water in Maine,
fed by mineral springs.
The water is in great demand in New
York and other large cities, where agen-
cies are established.
The house was built several years ago,
was thoroughly repaired two years ago
and put in perfect condition. The house
cost $50. 900 and was probably fully in
sured. For two years the property has
been in litigation and the house closed,
but lately a syndicate in Boston had
bought up all the claims and the honse
the coming summer would have been
opened to the public.

Especial to the Press.l
HALIFAX, January 31.-The Domin-
ion line steamea Sarnia, Captain Crouch.
with the mails from Moville, which ar
rived at o'clock this morning, expert
enced rough time. She should have
been here on Saturday. She had good
weather the first two days of the passage,
but from that time until her arrival she
encountered a series of gales, principally
from the northwest and southwest. She
had wind on either bow almost the en-
tire passage, while the seas were tre-
mendous, she being almost continually
under water. Instead of making 300
miles day she never got within fifty
miles Of that time.
When she reached the Banks the
weather grew cold, and as she ploughed
into the heavy sea the spray froze on
her, and her foremast half way up was
covered with ice. When she came to the
dock she looked like an iceberg. Her
decks were covered several inches thick,
while her promenade deck and funnel
showed how they had been washed by
the seas. The worst weather was expe-
rienced Friday night
Saturday morning the wind, which
had been blowing gale, increased to q
l.. sol ms
kept at full speed and 10 tons of coal
burned in five hours she made but four
miles during that time and "a hours
showed but 1913 miles, an average Of
about knots per hour. The seas were
something terrific, making it impossible
| to stand on deck. One sea came aboard
and struck the main deck with such force
| that it broke one of the iron stanchions
supporting it below. the water bursting
| into No. hatch and damaging some of
the cargo. Another sea struck the iron
exterior of the captain S room, loosening
| it from the fastenings below, the water
passing in underneath and dashing up
against the ceiling of the room. The
| forward ventilators were smashed in,
| the iron lighthouses shifted and the iron
| house above the forward comp anionway
was loosened in its fastening. At ono
claim the ship.
The Sarnia had about 150 passengers
| to land here and 214 tons cargo. She has
| 26OO tons of cargo for Portland, for which
port she left this afternoon at O'clock
All passengers landed here for the Unit
ed States had to be fumigated by order
of the United States government. The
clothing was placed in a car and the
steam furnished from the steamer Cogle
lying at the wharf alongside. There
were over 250 pounds of steam, live and
dry heat, used to fumigate the various
articles which have to remain in the car
several hours, and when removed are en-
tirely useless. Boots and shoes which
had gone in almost new, came out in
| worse condition than those usually
| found in ash heaps. Kid gloves were
reduced to many times below their or
dinary size, hats had only their crowns
remaining, books were shorn of their
covers and the leaves thorougly saturat-
ed Many persons took away samples
of the utter destruction of property by
the fumigating process.
