Citizens of Roanoke and Salem Give Him
housing Reception.
Shortly after o'clock last night the
street cars brought to Salem the Roam
oke Machine Works and Band a largo
number Of citizens of Roanoke and
suburbs, who came to serenade Judge
Griffin These formed in procession
under command OF Lieutenant Colonel
Pole, Of the Second Regiment, and were
met at the junction of Main street and
College avenue by the JEFF Davis Riff IS
with its life and drum CORPS. Both
bands struct up u lively air whilst hun
drcds Of citizens followed the procession
down Main street until Judge Griilins
residence was reached, where all
grouped around tho house in an i'm
mcnse half circle. which extended all
over tho grass lot in front Of the dwell
ing out to the edge OF Main street.
Tho porches and windows OF the
judges residence were thronged with
many lady friends and their escort, and
after tho deafening cheers for Griffin
had somewhat subsiied the Judge came
to the back porch and addressed the
many hundreds OF friends there pres
ent. He thanked them for the honor OF
this serenade, not 30 much on his own
account as on account Of the grand old

was. he then in very conservative,

not in accord with the State laws.
Here voice in the crowd exclaimed:
"Hit old BOumaDm Hit old Boumsn!"
and kept it up at intervals until the
Judge replied: "He has hit himself so
hard that nothing could say would ex-
pose his IL since ri.y to the Democratic
party more" though he said he felt sure

was thorn.
The judge then told how, in the can
vass, he had been slandered as common
drunkard, miserable infidel, and as one
who had cursed the Yankee" all of
which he branded as false. He spoke of
mis- past services in the county, and
said: I'D rather have lost the election
than have lost the vote of the people of
Salem my neighbors and my friends "
In conclusion the Judge thanked all
his friends again and invited them into
his house TO partake of little refresh
ment, which kindly invitation many
accepted. After this w. p. HUI made
short address and the band played
several selections; then the line was re-
formed and the march back to the car

Los ANGELES. Feb. 2G.-The Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce had a grand BAN
quet last night at Redondo Beach Hotel,
which lasted until an early hour this morn
ing. Besides the members OF the chamber
number OF prominent visitors were pres
emf. Letters and kilograms of regret. con-

LAST WEEK OF WORK.
Busy Time Ahead of the Retiring
Congress.
Appropriation Bills Will Have the
Right of Way-Executive Ses-
sions to Be Blocked.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26. = The closing
week of the Fifty-seeOnd Congress will
be characterized by rush of legislation
that has seldom been equaied. As there is
not time enough for the many private meas
ures near completion 10 pass they must an
tagonize each other, and opposed to them
all in both houses will stand the sppropria-
ton committees urging immediate action Oh
the great measures IN their charge.
In the Senate the naval bill will probably
come up Monday. Tie agricultural and
postoffice bills are expected 10 be reported
by Tuesday, and the deficiency bill about
the middle of the week. They will be
taken up for action as fast as reported.
Meantime the consideration Of these bills
and other pending measures will be sus-
pended from time TO time to allow Of the
disposition Of conference reports. There
seems to be set purpose to prevent any
further executive sessions Of the Senate if
possible. This will serve three-fold pur-
pose-to defeat action on the nomination Of
Judge Banchett. to prevent the recOnsid-
GRAFTON Of the vote by which the n0mina-
ton of Congressman Findlay Of Maryland,
as Chilian arbitrator. was rejected. aud to
shelve the Hawaiian treaty Of annexation
for the session.
In the House advantage will be taken Of
the rule permitting action during the last
six days of the session, under suspension of
the rules. to rush forward business of an
urgent nature. A number of measures Of
com mparatiYely little interest may be thus
passed, but the indications are it will be
necessary to give most of the time 10 the
al preparation bills.
Unless an ameable understanding can be
privately reached with reference to the
course to be taken with the Sherman bond
amendment to the sundry civil bill it will
be moved. under suspension of the rules. to
send all amendments to a conference with a
formal nome occurrence recommended.
1t is not anticipated that any serious
trouble will occur in conference sufficient to
endanger the passage Of the appropriation
bills and compel an extra session of Con-
greSS.

HAs A SUGAR coATlNG.
Senator Pettigrew's Structures on the
Annexation Treaty.

Annexation Treaty.
NEW YORK. Feb 20 Hawaiian annexa-
ton is dead so far as this session OF the
Senate is concerned. There is no doubt
about that" said Senator Pettigrew of
South Dakota to-day. "If there were any
thing to gain in the possession of those
islands there might be sumo excuse for The
United States acquiring them. There is a
heavy debt for US TO assume, in the first
place, and the royal family to provide for,
which certainly is contrary to the long
established policy Of this country. From
strategic point there is nothing TO gain.
Already we have exclusive rights in Pearl
Harb0r, which in case Of war could be used
as a naval station. The other great powers
would always be looking on our possession
of the islands with jealous eyes. something
would surely arise to cause a rupture and
then we would have war with some of the
powerful nations of Europe. Then we GER
tainly ought to view with great concern the
acquisition of lot Of Chinese lepers and
other undesirable people.
Il regard the whole annexation scheme
as a conspiracy Matched and actively pushed
by Claus Spreckels and the sugar ring,
which controls affairs on the islands. There
is no real sentiment for annexation among
the Hawaiian people, and the entire affair
has sugar coating that is very apparent.
If Spreckels can get the treaty through he
will be as good as several millions ri her as
soon as the treaty becomes law. The
sugar bounty was not provided for for
eiRners IN the middle of the Pacific, and was
Intended solely to build uD the sugar in
dnstry here. / think the people of this
country have come to see these things as
they are, and ] believe there is no such
sentiment for annexation as the annexation
champions claim"

Stirring Address by the

THE POLICY OF ACQUISITION.
The Alabama Statesman Points Out
the Criminaiity of Sacrificing fia-
waii TO England.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

NEW YORK, Feb. 26-In honor of SEN
ator Morgan, who sailed on the New York
Yesterday. committee of well-known mer-
chants and others gathered upon the deck
of the American liner to wish the Senator
godspeed. Replying to an address made by
the chairman of the committee, Mr.. Morgan
spoke in part as follows:
at is singular at this time that there are
grouped together three immense PROPOSE
tions relating to that great body of water,
the Paclfc-the Bering Sea arbitration.
which also may be said to involve the whole
North Pacific; the Nicarauga canal. and
then the Hawaiian proposition. The three
together must convince all thinking men
that there never was moment in history of
this Government, saving the period of our
civil war. when so much wisdom, courage.
manhood and intTepidity. foresight and de-
termined American pluck were necessary
as just now.
I'VE have come to pivotal point In
American destiny. the moment when we
must go back or forward. We cannot take
a middle ground. In thinking of the
Pacific Ocean and cur duty in connec-
tion with it 1 don't want to see re-
peated what was perpetrated upon US
Though France was at cur back we did not
have the foresight to acquire all that be-
longed to US. We aid not take Newfound-
land. the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Wind
ward Islands, Jamaica and all that territory.
Why should q people of 35.0O0.O 600 hold
against a people of 65,00O,000 all these
islands? l am not crItciZng them; l ad-
mire them. l wish Americans would be as
much like them as possible. only more so.
Great Britain has already planted herself
IN Australia and New Zealand, and is now
approaching the Sandwich Islands-that
Gibraltar of the Pacific. Only recently she
raised her flag on one of the Islands. At
the present time the Hawaiian Government
and our own are protesting against that
occupation. Let me ask you. when they
get there and complete the chain. including
Vancouver, Victoria, Hawaii, Hong Kong
New Zealand and Australia, viii we not
theD see repeated in tile Pacific that miser-
able. despicable policy which has been per-
petrated in the Atlantic, when there will be
nothing left but for us to put the Eastern
islands into a bill-uf-sale treaty?
With these three great questions con-
Gr0nting us-the Nicaragua canal, Bering
Sea arbitration ana Hawaii, the last ready
20 drop into our laps like ripe pear-we
have need of that spirit of manhood. energy
and endurance which was supeTbly devel-
oped when we were fighting one another
with million men in the field. Then we
shall see the outcome Of the power and
spirit Of great people On a great occasion.
Let US move TO the 'front.'"
