the Hawaiian annexation commissioners was
held in the diplomatic parlor of the state
department. The Hawaiian commissioners
returned to their hotel where they discussed
tho question of making a statement to the
people of the United States upon the subject
of their mission to this country. Mr.. Thurs

said the reception by Secretary Foster had
been cordial.
Of the details, however, they could not
speak, as they had been requested by Secre-

no statements regarding the progress there
of. However, the cordial reception accorded
by the representatives of the United States

ton OF their mission.
After the interview Secretary Foster said
he had nothing new to communicate, and
owing to tho press Of other business he was
unable to see newOpaper men.

Probable naIlrond Legislation.

TOPEKA. February w. NJ. Kenton, OF
Rice county, has introduced in the popalist
house a railroad bill which, if not greatly
modified by the committee on railroads, to
which it was referred, will be one of the
most important pieces of legislation of the
session. Mr.. Kenton's bill is known ms
house bill No. III, and provides for the es-
Enlistment of reasonable maximum freight
rates, which is the same rate bill now in
force In Iowa. He also provides for the divl-
sion of the state into three districts for the
election of railroad commissioners by the
people, and gives the commissioners full
power to control, Fix and regulate rates to
be collected for freight transportation.

TOPEKA, February 1O.-The populist house

legislative appropriation bill with an amend.
ment that pay certificates issued to officers
and members DO signed by Speaker Duns-

Another amendment was made by the

postage stamps for each member.
The bill, a senate bill, will likely go to the
senate in that shape and be shelved there.

New York, February 7.-President-elect
Cleveland spoke freely about the nomina-
ton Of Howell E. Jackson, Judge of the
United States circuit court, rs the successor
of the late Justice Lamar. He said that it
would have been impossible to select man
better fitted for this high Office and ex-
pressed his pleasure over the fact that he
had thus been preferred. He alluded
pleasantly to his appreciation of the compi-
ment paid to n man who had been originally
appointed to the bench by himself. He was
pleased to know that the bench would suffer
no injury from such an appointment and
that the president had such high regard
for the highest court.

To destroy lice on horses the following
is recommended by the chief of the bu-
reau of animal industry at Washington:
Rub the horse with sulphur ointment, or
with sulphur of potassium, ounces;
water, gallon: or with tar water, or
the skin may he sponged with. benzine.
The application should be repeated o
week later to destoy all lice Matched from
the nits in the interval. Professor c.. P.
Gillette of the Iowa experiment station
reports the destruction of the hog louise

uses 10 per cent emulsion and applies
the liquid with force pump.

Democratic majority actually means
nothing excepta change in the offices.
1t means that clearly and explicitly,
though even in that it means only the
triumph of one faction over another.
So far as any great National question
is concerned it is utterly meaningless
and impotent. No one knows too day
where the party. stands upon any
financial or economic question. And
these are the questions that confront
us to-day with terrible energy and
resistless force. And because no enc
knows what a Democratic majority
means, Or what it signifies, The Nation
floats to-day almost helpless in a sea
of distrust and doubt.

While they feel thy pure spirit is be reckoning

Good at ReDartee.

Jim Sniverly got good position in 6
crockery store in Harlem. Jim is q
smart young man and very good at rep
artee. He only remained in the crock
cry store few days. When he was
asked why he left the store he said he
found life in a store too combining. The
real cause of his leaving grew out of the
following little incident: A wealthy Gus
toner was examining some teapots.
"A dollar and half for this teapot;
| find that very DEAR" she said.
THAT isenot too much money for a
teapot of this antique STYLE" replied
Sniverly7 with smirk.
''Then you can't knock anything off?''
Yes, I could take a hammer and
knock off the spout, but l wouldn't care
10 knock anything off. You can knock
the spout off after you buy it and take it
home"

the boss, who instead of raising Jim's
wages raisedJames himself. Texas Sift-

The N. Y. Tribune Of Wednesday

The ". Y. Tribune Of wednesday
Remarked:
There was decidedly better feel
ing in Wall Street yesterday than has
been manifested for many days. Con-
sentative observers, with consider
bic show of agreement, declared that
they could at last find some grounds
for hope that the worst of the present
financial stress had been seen. In
response to the general sentiment the
stock market opened buoyantly
Prices almost invariably showed ad-
vances from Mondays close, and in
many cases the first quotations were
from 1per cent to per cent up. 1t
was not until news Of the big failures
on the Chicago Board of Trade was
received that the upward tendency
was effectively checked. Even then
the reaction was not sufficient to car
ry prices far enough down to prevent
a showing of comfortable net gains
for the day.
The overshadowing feature of the
situation is the gold movement. The
steady outflow Of the precious metal,
which drained the country of its sup
ply and carried the gold reserve be-
low the 100000, 900 mark, the appar-
emit boundary Of popular confidence,
has ceased. The importations now
grow heavier every day, and it is es-
timated that $4,000, 5000 is on the way
to this country, or has been purchased
in foreign markets for shipment.
