According to reports made tn d
weather bureau service at Huron, little
snow fell in South Dakota until the 10Th
OF November: but since that time there
has been a fall CT from n to seven
inces ia places, making an average snow
fall for the entire state of full five inches.
This seems hardly credible to dwellers
in Lake county but the service must
have tolerable accurate reports, and
some of these from the eastern and north
sides of the state report from seven to
ten inches OF snow. The fall in temper
allure for the month was sixty degrees,
or an average OF two degrees per day for
the entire month, while the excess over
normalin precipitation vas only three,
tenths OF an inch. The low temperature
for the mouth is exceptional.

The Bill VIII He Reported Fayorably by
the House Committed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Sit is now
known definitely what the house COM
mittee on banking and currency will do
upon the bill to repeal the 10 per cent
tax on state banks. This bill will be re-
ported as soon as a vote in the committee
is reached. Of the II members of the
committee, the 8 Republicans and Rep
resentatives Springer of Illinois, and
Sperry of Connecticut, will vote against
reporting the bill. Representative
johnson of Ohio, who was supposed to
be doubtful, says that he is against the
repeal of the 10 per cent tax, but win
report it favorably from the committee
in order to get it before the house. He
thinks that with matter of this import
ance, in which SO many members are in
terested, the question should be brought
before the house for consideration, but
he will reserve the right to vote against
the bill on the floor of the house.

Purpose-Says 1t Is No Joke.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-A bill to annex
Canada to the United has been discov-
cred by Congressman Baldwin. 1t was
introduced during the excitement OF the

was never noticed by the newspaper
men. The author of the bill is Amos
Cummings, a New York newspaper

asked about the bill, supposing that it
might be a joke. Cummings said he
meant it, and he proposes to go
before the COMMITTEES. on foreign
affairs as soon as he q be heard,
and says he will present some strong
arguments for its passage. The bill con-
templates that the Canadian provinces
shall apply for admission the same as
the territories of the United States, and
that they shall have representation in
the house and senate the same as other
states. The consent of Great Britain Is
to be obtained, and $3.50 600 is appro-
priated to defray the expenses of nego.
tiations. The bill also provides for com
mercial union with Canada until the
annexation feature ear be completed.

If somebody should find a diamond as

TO GO TO CONGRESS
The Foreign Affairs Committee An
tieipates Having to Deal With
Hawaiian Matters.
After Hearing From Willis Again the
Syesident Will Likely Refer It to
Congress.
The Bill TO Repeal the State Bank
Tax to Be Reported Fayorably I'm
the House. !

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Prominent
members of the house committee on
foreign affairs evidently expect that con-
gress will be called upon o to take up
and decide the Hawaiian question.
Chairman McCreary has had an ex-
tended interview with the president,
and it is supposed that matters relating
to Hawaii were under discussion. Mr..
McCreary would say nothing about the
conference, but from suggestions he
made it is evident that he expected that
congress would deal with the matter.
A member of the committee said that
the president would not think of using
force while congress was in session, as
that would be an act of war. There has
been a theory advanced that after hear
ing again from Minister Willis and
learning positively that the queen can
not be restored except by the use OF
United States troops, the president
will present to congress the case OF the
queen as a wronged monarch whose
government had been overthrown by
this government, and assert that it il
now the duty or the United otates 70 re
store the former condition,
Even by Using Force.
This is one idea that has been advanced
by the friends Of the administration
There will be great opposition in tht
house committee on foreign affairs K
the resolution of Representative Hit o.
Illinois, on the ground that it would no
be right, in view of further promised
communication from the executive OF
the subject, for the house to give expires
sion to the sentiments contained i'm tn
Hit resolutions. Mr.. Hit will max,
every effort to secure a favorable repor
from the committee ON his resolution
but as it will take at least three Demo
cratic votes to bring about such a result
it is doubtful if he will be successful.

THE LEHrGH TROUBLE.
A Possibility That the Strike MAJ he
Rerun Again.

Begun Again.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Dec. S.-A great
amount of uncertainty exists here a to
the possibility of ending of the Lehigh
railway strike. The men claim that the
management has refused to reinstate
them in their old positions, and that sew
eral non-union men are still employed by
the company.
If the men get back their former posi-
tons the strikers will be satisfied, but if
not it is very likely that the strike will
continue, and may embrace a much
larger field than before.
