An Absurd Idea.

The idea that young animals must
be "hardened" by some forced ex-
posture to rough weather is now out
Of date. Give them good shelter and
plenty to eat until the weather is
settled and the pastures we'll started.
Then turn them out and they will
harden themselves fast enough.

DISCUSSED.
(Ns.O York Press, 9Th Fsb.)

From the Regular Correspondent of The
Press.
Washington, Feb. THE annexation of
Hawaii was discussed by President Harrison
and his Cabinet to-day, and it was also the
subject of another lengthy conference be-
tween Secretary Of State Foster and the Ha-
waiian Commissioners. No definite results
were secured, so far as is known. 1t appears
to be the policy, of the Adminlstration co do
nothing until other information is received
from Honolulu by the State Department
which will arrive at San Francisco tomorrow.
The conference. and the subsequent Cabinet
meeting to-day were sufficient, however, to
bring out thai annexation is the one and only
plan now seriously under consideration, and
that no further thought Of a protectorate is
being entertained.
During the conference with the Commits
aieners to-day Solicitor Pa fridge of the legal
staff Of the Stale Department was called IL.
Both the Secretary and the Solicitor had a
number of questions which they desired the
Commissioner to answer specifically in
writing. These covered certain preliminaries
which are always an essential in a proposition
of annexation. They bring out clearly that
the overthrow Of the old government was not
due to any conspiracy Of a small faction, but
was an act in which the majority of the
islanders acquiesced. Moreover, it was made
plain that the present provisional government
is acting with the full assent of the people.
The purpose of Mr.. Foster is to insist that the
Commissioner shall make out a clear case of
their right to represent Hawaii. He wants
them to show beyond question that they are
not merely the representatives of a faction, or
Of the foreign element Of the island, but of the
people at large.
The Commissioners have not yet been re-
oeivsd by President Harrison, and this fact is
causing some comment. They appear quite
satisfied with their status, however, and one
OF them said tonight that they did not ex-
poet an audience with hePresident till he had
been fully satisfied of their right to treat and
OF the merits of their case. The most i'm
portant feature of the information expected
on the arrival of the steamer at Gan Francisco
10 that concerning the attitude of the deposed
Queen.
The Administration feels that it should not
act without giving Liliuokalani ample oppor-
turity to present her side of the case. There
are many who contend that she represents the
nAsiss element Of the island. as against the
wealthy foreign element which has now set up
the provisional government. The Queens

representative will arrive soon at San Fran
cisco. and il is expected that his views will b.

so that action may proceed without awaiting
his arrival here.
The Cabinet meeting lasted about an hour.
II brought out that there was substantial
unanimity among the Cabinet officers as to
annexing the islands. !
