A FOREIGN VENTURE.
Are our Mesquite Beans Shipped to
Germany as Fodder or for
Sugar Material?,

dyes" said Ex-Park Inspector
Joe Huetler to LIGHT man 81 am
after mesquite beans and am pre-
pared to pay 30 cents per hundred
for all l can get up to 100000
pounds. These are to be shipped
to a manufacturing town in Ger
many. Whether these are to be
used to replenish the alarming de-
ficiency in cattle prOvender in that
country, | know not but [ hardly
think that it is So"
Perhaps, however, this is another
solution. The mesquite beans con-
tain considerable saccharine mat
ter and as France led in the manu-
facture of sugar from the
beat it is said that the Ger
man chemists have discovered
the fact that profitable amount
of saccharine can be extracted from
the mesquite bean. In these days
the wealth of the country lies in
utilizing the former waste, and de-
veloping natural resources. If, as
asserted, Germany can get sugar
from the mesquite beans, and a
Texas corporation can convert it's
seeds into a fine coffee, there is, as
Colonel Sellers would say, emil
lions in it,"
The mesquite beans for ship
ment are to be chopped up and
sent in carload lots to the ship
ping port.

Nation Croquet Tournament.

NORWICH, Conn, Aug. 1.-THE
national crOquet tournament will
begin today on the ten splendid
courts on the national grounds at
the edge of the Rockwell woods,
near here. The national organiza-
ton secured these spacious grounds
two summers ago of DIR. John A.
Rockwell, and have laid them out
into courts almost as true, level,
hard and elastic as billiard table.
Last summer the experts used
them for the first time, playing in
the cool, checked shadow of the
woods by day and by the light of
the electric lights at night. They
were pronounced to be the finest
grounds in the world, except the
grand practice courts Of the Ma
tionals at Cottage City, Martha's
Vineyard. For some time past,
johnson, the well-known expert of
the Philadelphia club, with the
help of Fay, of New York, have
been remodelling seven of the ten
courts. 1t is believed that more
expert clubs, hailing from all
parts of the country east of the
Mississippi Valley will be repre-
scented by champions than ever
before. The visiting players will
be entertained by members OF the
local club.

FILIBUsrERINa IN THE HOUSE.
tffevents CONFEDERATION OF Anti Option
and Bankruptcy Bills.

ana bankruptcy Bills.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb 6.-In the house
hhbus'ering against the anti-option bill
began before the reading of the journal.
kligore of Texas raised the point of mo
quorum" A glance around the chamber
convinced the speaker of the correctness
OF the point and he directed the clerk to
call the roll. The filibustering continued.
While kilgore's opposition seemed directed
against the anti-option bill, this measure
was OF secondary Importance. The prim-
ary object was the bankruptcy bill, which,
1t IS understood. was to be called up TODAY
when business allowed it to proceed. The
Republicans, who sustained Kilgore. had
another point in view. to prevent the call
ing up of the war claims bill, involving
about $300,000. The journal was finally
approved and the house proceeded to busi-
ness.
Bum moved to suspend the rules and
pass the bill appropriating $50. 600 for the
relief of the heirs of Adelicia Cheteau.
Barrows of Michigan demanded Sec
ond. and as there was no quorum, on mo-
ton OF kiigore call of the house was Or
dered. The call failed to show the pres
ence of quorum, and the tellers were
again ordered, and again there was no
quorum voted. and again call of the
house was ordered. After some other roll
calls, the house adjourned without having
reached the anti-option or bankruptcy
bills

OLYMPIA. Feb. 6.-[Special Tho Tur-
nerites held caucus this evening with
twenty-five present, Roscoe and Van Hou-
ten being the absentees. 1t was deter
mined to continue voting Tor Tur-
ner for the present, though there
was opposition to the proposition,
two of the members strongly antagoniz-
ing it. When the caucus adjourned the
usual announcement was made by the
Turner chiefs that the minority had de-
cided to ''stand pat" uatil the close of the
session. But several of those who partici-
pated in the meeting say that the action
means no more than the many other
resolutions to vote for Turner for
the time being that had preceded it.
Though several of those acting with the
minority know that they are wronging their
party and themselves they find it difficult
to break away from the men with whom
they have thus far been joined. especially
when the latter present the argument that
each Turner man is bound as a
matter OF honor not to leave the
others to the political destruction
that they say will fall upon them if they
should be unable to prevent the election
of Allen. 1t is this false plea that has so
long kept number of Turner men where
they are with the wreckers of their party,
and it had its effect tonight in giving the
Turner candidacy another lease of life.
The net result of the action by this legis-
lature on the vetoes of Laughton is
the enactment of the five important
bills vetoed. The house passed them
all by practically unanimous
vote, but in the senate three failed to Sc
cure the necessary two-thirds support, the
time check bill, the railroad fence bill
and the bill requiring railroad COM
panies to build connecting tracks at
junction. The house is strongly in favor
of anti-corporation legislation, but the
senate is more divided. 1t is
believed, however. that the We
toed measures that failed today
can be put through the senate
as new bills, which will require only a ma
jority vote. The antiPinkerton bill passed
the house today, and, having passed the
senate previously, will now go on
the statute book of this session,
as will the Wasson bill, which
has also passed both houses. The
message vetoing the anti.Pinkerton bill
was treated with good deal of levity
when it was read today. particularly that
portion of it that argued that il the bill
should 60 into effect it would be unlawful
for hunters to go after game in parties.
Turner has apologized to Representative
Sallee for the epithet he applied to him at
the time of the encounter of the Spokane
press correspondents.

THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.
Documents Relating to Annexa alton Pro.
pOsal in 1SA5-Retitiona and Prntesfs.

Documents Relating to Annexation Pro.
posal in distributions and Protests.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 6.-The presi-
dent this afternoon, in response to the re-
solution adopted last Friday. has trans
mitted to the senate copies of the annexa-
ton treaty negotiated between the repre-
sentatives of the United States and King
kamehameha in 1915 together with the
correspondence relating thereto. The cor
respondence includes letter of instruc-
tions from the secretary of state to
the United States minister to Hawaii;
Gregg's report to the state department
narrating the circumstances of the nego-
tiations of the treaty and the condition of
affairs on the islands at that time; the
minister's report of the death of King
Kamehameha and the accession of his
successor to the throne; the subsequent
decline of the annexation sentiment under
the new kingdom and finally Secretary
Marcy's letter to the minister expressing
disapproval of the terms of the treaty as
negotiated. Although the letter of Secre-
tary Marcy was written nearly forty years
ago it is thought to fairly present the
views of this administration upon the
question of annexation of Hawaii. In it
he objected to the immediate incorpora-
ton of the islands into the United States
as an independent state, and said:
understand the measure proposed by the
people and that in which the present rulers
are disposed to concur, is annexation distin-
guished from protection; and that it il their
intention that those islands shall become a part
of our territories and be under control of this
government as fully as any other OF its terri
iorial possessions. Should the sovereignty of
of these islands be transferred to the United
States the present government should, as
matter of course be superseded by, or at leas
subjected to the Federal authority of this
country.
SAN Francisco. Feb. 6.-At a meeting of
the Congregational ministers of this city
today the Hawaiian situation was dis
cussed. The speakers. most of whom had
been residents of the islands, stated that
the condition of the natives would be
greatly benefited by annexation to the
United States, and that the islands would
add greatly to the prosperity and wealth
of America. Resolutions were adopted
heartily favoring the annexation of Hawaii.
LONDON. Feb. cit is stated that the
government of New Zealand has sent a
strong protest to the British government
against the annexation of Hawaii to the
United States. No definite answer has
been returned.

DIsCONsOLATE DEMOCRATS.

Canyaaa. of OH ce Seckera, Petitiona.

&8nVae0 Oh Otn Ce ScekeT0 fetltIOno,
OLYMPIA. Feb ESPECIAL. THE Demo
cratic members of the legislature met in
caucus tonight to consider the applications
ofcandidates for Federal offices for endorse
ment. After lively discussion the whole
business was again deferred until the first
Monday in March. No action was taken
on the senatorship. though 1t was broached.
The Griggs grip on the nomination seemed
to the rebellious spirits to be yet too tight
to warrant an attempt to loosen il. In
the expectation of the meeting numerous
office seekers arrived today and the
petitions in the possession of
members for presentation were numbered
by the score. But none were read. A
resolution was made by Gilman to act on
cases where only one application for an of
fee had been filed. This was fought as an
attempt to take undue advantage, and was
finally amended so as to defer consldera-
tion of all petitions until March g. as
stated, all candidates to be invited to send
in their applications in the meantime. If
the invitation is accepted the caucus will
have a bushel OF petitions to consider
when it meets two days after the inaugur-
alton of Cleveland. 1t is quite possible,
however, that at that time the membe
will indefinitely postpone the whole sub
Ject, as the question has already been
raised and was brought up in the caucus
tonight as to the right of Democratic
members to formally sit in judgment ON
the claims of rival candidates tor office.
In expectation of the meeting tonight a
large numbes of Democrats who are ambi-
tious to secure commissions from the pres
ident-elect arrived in the city today and
were busy this evening about the Olympia
hotel where the caucus was held. Those
who thought they had sure thing are sad
over the outcome.
One thing that caused the postponement
was the rivalry of some of the members
themselves, who are seeking fat places,
while the question of patronage was put
over for a month. Consideration Of the
senatorial matter is left open to be taken
up at any time.
