A system Of moistening the air of q
cotton factory-as is required in some
departments Of a mill before blowing it
into the rooms-has been the subject of
much experiment. 1t has been found
that, if a jet of steam or vapor is dis
charged into the main duct any degree
of humidity desired can be obtained, but
all the air is moistened alike, being dis
tributed to the different rooms by the
risers leading thereto. That, however,
which is best adapted for one depart
ment in IA cotton mill may not prove
equally favorable for another.
Then, too, the Introduction of moist
ure at this point may work d~isastrously
to the walls of the ducts and risers. 1t
is now found that this objection may be
overcome at a small expense, by carry
ing q steam pipe down through each
room and putting opposite each opening
in the fue, through which the air enters
the room, an outlet with valves for regu-
lating the flow of the steam. In this
way the exhaust steam from the engine
which drives the blower flows into the
room, and being caught up by the cur
rent of air passing from the fue is thus
distributed throughout the room. Elk
perience with this plan through cold
weather has proved its peculiar value

HIS WIFE SHAVED HIM.

She Wasn't Going TO BE Late to Church II
She knew 1t.
The story was told by a talkative man
who was evidently from the country.
The barber drew it out by the usual ques-
ton asked ofnew patrons, "Doyou shave

"Not much" was the reply. Does
my face look asif I did?'
The barber confessed that his face was
in good condition. w%hereupon the talka-
tive man added, with a chuckle:
"And don't usually get shaved by
any barber, either"
"How's that?' asked the barber.

"Who taught her the trader" asked the

Governor Mcconnell today signed the
state wagon road bill, which provides
that bonds be issued to the amount of

system of roads in Idaho, Nez Perez, Gus

In the house the conference committee
appointed on the Storey election bill, the
senate amendment to which the house
has steadfastly refused to concur in, sub
mitted a report recommending that the
house decline to change its attitude in
the matter and the house adopted the re-
port. Storey, Republican of Cassia then
introduced another bill dealing solely with
the Mormon question, providing that the
retrotractive feature of the test oath shall
be eliminated, and that all suffrage re-
striction imposed upon laW-abidlng Nor

In the senate the conference committee
on the Storey and test oath bill reported
recommending that that body would not
recede from it's position in refusing to ac-
cept the house amendments and the re-
port was adopted. 1t is evident that no

Treaty of Annexation Concluded
and Sent to the Senate.
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
1t Is Very Brief and Recommends TAX
ing in the Islands.
Text of the Message and Treaty The
Commissioners Hope to Have 1t RatI-
fed So They Can Sail for Home
on March 8.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The treaty OF
annexation concluded between Secretary
OF State Foster and the commissioners OF
the provisional government OF Hawaii
was transmitted to the Senate yesterday
but was not made public. The message
OF the president was brief. 1t states:
The provisional treaty does not attempt
to deal in detail with the questions grow
ing out OF annexation. The Hawaiian
commissioners have consented to leave
that to the future and the just and be-
nevolent purposes of the United States
for adjustment of all such questions. 1t
has been the policy of this administration
not only to respect, but encourage the
continuance of the independent govern
ment of the Hawaiian islands SO long as
it afforded suitable guarantee for the
protection OF life and property and main
tanned stability and strength that gave
adequate security against the domination
of any other power. The overthrow
of the monarchy was not in anv
way promoted by this govern
ment but had its origin in what
seems to be reactionary and revolution
airy policy upon the part of Queen Lfliuo-
kalani which put in serious peril not only
the large and prepondering interests Of

UNABLE TO AGREE.
The Pacific Mail and the Panama Com
pany Cannot Come to Terms

The Pacific Mail and the Panama Com
pany Cannot Come to Terms
NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-The negotiations
between the Panama Railroad company
and the Pacific Mail Steamship company
looking toward an agreement upon some
contracts by which the two companies
can cooperate have been pending for
over week. A reply came last evening
from the Pacific Mail company which
amounts to a complete failure of the ne
EQUATIONS, but which gives the Panama
officials some reason to believe that in the
future there is a possibility of an arrange
ment being made acceptable to both
parties. The contract which was
refused was prepared by the Pan
anna directors at meeting on
Saturday last, favorable answer
was expected and the repeal is a surprise.
The terms of the contract are essentially
OF the Panama company S offer of last jan
uary. They give the Panama people the
right to determine the tariff on through
freight and name the agent having execu-
ton of through orders
Secretary Ooppenhelm of the Panama
company said this evening, however, that
the companies are on better terms than
ever before and they feel now that in the
near future the Pacific Mail and Panama
company will be acting together on terms
beneficial to both and to transcontinental
commerce generally. He says it was the
influence OF the Southern Pacific people
IN the steamship company that defeated
the negotiations.

treaty the sugar producers of Hawaii will
not participate in the bounty provided by

A PERSONAL COLLISION.

Turpin of Alabama and Waugh of In
diana Come Together.
WASHINGTON, Feb. ia feature in
the House today was personal collision
between Messrs. Turpen of Alabama and
Waugh of Indiana, which, however, was
bloodless. The House resumed, in COM
mittee of the whole, consideration of the
pension appropriation bill. The chair
overruled the points of order raised
against the various amendments recon-
mended by the committee on appropria-
tions, among them those relating to a
transfer of the pension bureau to the war
department and to soldier widows.
Mr.. Burrows appealed from the decis-
Ion about the transfer, but the chair was
sustained, 103 to So.
After debate the amendment for the
transfer was disagreed to, So to 95. The
other amendments were also defeated
without division.
Then Mr.. Tarsney referred to the speech
made some days ago by Mr.. Morse of
Massachusetts, in which that gentleman
stated that he (Tarsney) had referred TO
pensioners on the rolls as ruffians, thieves
and scoundrels. Mr.. Tarsney said he
never used such language and proceeded
to make some unpleasant remarks about
men who falsitied the words of their col
leagues
mr.. Morse replied that he had not at
tTibuted to the gentleman any words that
had not been uttered by him so lar as he
(Mcrse) understood them. By this time
the House fully expected q sensation and
the area-in front OF the speakers desk
was CT dTded with members Then Mr..
Morse yielding to Mr.. Turpin to ask a
question brought about a change in the
principals in the trouble.
Mr.. Turpin inquired of the gentleman
from Massachusetts if he was aware that
there stood today upon the pension rolls
an e1-soldier drawing $40 a month tor
total deafness and VINO was receiving
salary Of 500 month as an employee at
the telephone2 Mr.. Tnrpin said he did
not know whether the man was q Demo-
crat or Republican but, in the light OF
present Surroundings, he supposed he
was a Democrat because he came from the
doubtful state Of Indiana.
I don't believe your statement unless
you prove it, shouted Waugh, advancing
to the front.
hir. Turpin replied, Stthe mans name
is William E. Dayis.n
Mr.. Waugh retorted that he did not be-
lieye the statement was true whether Mr..
Turpln had the name or not
Turpin ret0rted that Waugh could not
say he was a falsifier and advanced rapidly
toward him.
Mr.. Hooper Of Indiana and others
rushed forward TO separate the men who
were rapidly coming together, and the
speaker finally secured order. The House
was in no temper to proceed with bust
ness, however. and soon adjourned.

DINNER TO CARLISLE.
All His Old Associates in the Senate Are
Present.

All his Old Associates in The Sen ate Are
Present.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-A parting din
ner was given Senator Carlisle tonight by
his late associates in the Senate nearly all
the senator's being present. President
Pro Tenn Henderson presided in the alb
sence of Vice President Morton. who
later appeared and made happy speech.
Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, responding
to the toast, 1.-THE President, - passed a
warm eulogy upon President Harrison,
saying he believed Harrison S foreign
policy would pass into history and chal-
lenge the admiration OF the world.
Senator Henderson in proposing the
health of Mr.. Carlisle, referred to the
fact that Jefferson, Madison, Monroe
and John Quincy Adams all stepped
from the treasury to the White House.
Senator Sherman in supplementing the
toast, eulogized Carlisle's fairness and
impartiality. Mr.. Carlisle was mani
testify affected by the warmth of his greet
ing. In his reply he carefully avoided
touching on any question affecting the
financial policy of the next administra-
ton.
In the course of subsequent speech max
ing, Senator Vest said that when Cleve-
land called upon Carlisle to accept the
position. he (Vest) went to Carlisle and
urged him to accept, stating that the
eX gencies OF public service demanded 1t.
Carlisle replied that every desire, every
hope he cherished would be dashed to
pieces by his going into the cabinet, and
it would virtually end his public career.
Mr.. Vest responded that he had been
called by the general in command to take
a dangerous post in the fight which was
partly won. With a full knowledge of
what he left behind and the dangers be-
fore him, Carlisle rose to the occasion and
deserved the thanks of every honest man.
