DECIDEDLY SHAKY

A trembling hand, an uncertain step,
fidgetiness, indicated by restless shifting
from one place or posture to another
usually mental annoyance at unexpected
noises, are among the indications of ex-
treme nervousness. These seem trihng
but the health of men and women in this
condition is decidedly shaky," liable to
be Overthrown disastrously by causes
which the vigorous might defy. To fortify
the nervous system, general Yigor must,
through the medium of reinforced
digestion, and a renewal of an impaired
power of sleeping at night, be raised 10
healthful standard. A guarantee Of this is
Hostetter's Stomach BitteTs, which re-es-
ta6ljshes digestion, bile secretion and the
habit of body on a permanently regular
basis, thus renewing that bodily equilib-
rum, which is followed bv a gain of
strength and nerve tranquility. For kid

HAWAII TO gF ANNEXED.

New YORK, Feb. 13.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent says: THE
annexation of Hawaii has been decided on,
l am told. President Harrison has fully
made up his mind as to the proper course
for him to pursue. In fact, l am informed
that be has already given the annexation
commissioners assurances entirely salts
factory to them of the course to be adopted
by the present administration. The presi-
dent has no intention of leaving this mat
ter for the next administration to settle.
His message to congress, now under pre-
paratiOn. will he completed probably
tomorrow and by Wednesday will be before
both the house and the senate | am in
formed that President Harrison is deVot-
ing much consideration TO this message,
intending to make it the strongest state
paper of his term and a fitting close to the
administration he has given the country"
WASHINGTON, Feb. l3.-This was an un-
eyentfuI day so far as the Hawaiian que5-
tion is concerned. The annexation COM
missioners' conference with the secretary
of state has been postponed until tomor-

SENATE-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The bill which
is intended to secure the construction of
the Nicaraguan ship canal occupied the
attention of the senate today. 1t provides
that the per cent bonds of the company,
to an amount not exceeding 100000, 00O
shall be guaranteed (principal and inter
esO by the government Of the United
States. These bonds are to be issued as
the money is actually paid out and ex-
pended by the company in the cOnstruc-
tion of the canal. The governments then
20 own the capital stock of the company
with the exception of $4,000. .000 which is
to be retained by the company, and except
the shares to be delivered TO the govern
ments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The
Importance of this guarantee by the gov
frnment was demonstrated in a speech by
MIR FRYE, who undertook TO show that the
canal would with the guaranteed be final
ly completed at cost of S1O00 600, and
that its fixed charges would only be So
000 600 year (outside Of a sinking fund.-,
Whereas without the guarantee, the cost
would not be less than 500, ,0OO,O0O aud It's
fixed charges 100000.
Mr. Frye. in concluding, spoke of the
growth of the United States since the war
as phenomenal and unparalleled in the
history of the world, and said: MIR.
Gladstone, twenty years ago, declared that
the young daughter beyond the seas
might some time or other overtake the
mother. / declare today that the daughter
beyond the seas has overtsken the moth
er, has distanced her in the race, and can
only sea her today by looking backward
through the dust raised by the wheels of
her own magnificent chariot of progress
Mr. President, let the cTowning glory of
this blessed republic of ours be the COM
pletion of this gigantic enterprise before
the dawn OF Jde twentieth century"
Mr. Morgan also addressed the senate in
advocacy of the bill, discussing the diplo-
matte features of the measure. Conclud-
ing, he said: Let us do our duty TO this
generation and not postpone action, until
some future generation, wiser or better or
stronger than we, shall come up and exc
cute this work"
During the discussion Mr.. Morgan ex-
and never was anything in the Clayton
Bulwer treaty to prevent the building of
the canal. The bill went over till tomor-
row.
Several bills of minor Importance were
taken from the calendar ana passed.
MIR. CullOm introduced joint resolution
10 transfer TO the state of Illinois lat the
close of the Columbian eXposition) the
naval exhibit of the United States govern
ment, AS naval armory for the use of the
naval militia OF Illinois, and asked TO have
IL considered and passed.
Mr.. Cockrell objected, saying that this
WAS simply the entering wedge OF Chicago
