WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-It is stated to-
night that the Hawaiian annexation
commissioners and Secretary of State
Foster have made substantial progress
towards an agreement upon q basis for
bringing the islands within the territory
Of the United States. It is believed at
the conference yesterday afternoon most,
If not ell the points under considera-
tion, were incorporated in the text of a
protocol. The points are far more
numerous and perplexing than might
be imagined at first, and they present
several questions which have never be-
fore been considered In the history of
this country. In case annexation of
the islands be recommended by the ex-
ecutive, the method of accomplishing it
remains to be decided. The question is
discussed by the most interested, and it
IL understood two modes OF procedure
are deemed feasible-one BY treaty
which the senate alone may ratify; the
other by an ordinary act of congress, re-
quiring the joint action of the senate
and house. 1t is believed that
the former method will be adopt
ed, II favorable action upon
the proposition of the Hawaiian COM
missioners be determined on. Another
meeting Of the commissioners and Sec
retary Foster will be held at the state

Is simply the wonder Of even the hos

treatment our charges are but little
more than the cost Of the material used.
This Cataplasmic treatment is new on
the Pacific Coast, and it is to our inter-

cases to which it applies as quickly as
possible, and at the minimum cost to
the patient. COME NOW, if you want
to avail yourselves of prices and terms

We could publish an indefinite num-
ber of names of prominent medical men
and others in testimony of the une-
qualed value of this treatment, but
enough has already appeared in the COL
umns of these papers.
Prof. R. N. Pool, of the Broadway San

STRAWBERRIES.
The Big Profit Made by Covina
Growers.

The Big Profit Made by Covina
Growers.
We have lately been making some in
quiries into the strawberry business in
this valley, in regard to the profitable
ness Of the industry and we confess we
were somewhat surprised. eOne of the
growers stated to us that last year he
picked and shipped from three acres the
enormous amount of IA tons. These
berries brought as high as 10 cents
and as low as cents per
pound, but netted an average of
about 8 cents per pound, or $2,240.
That would make an acre OF berries pro-
duce cash return of $746.661z, which,
considering the shortness of the berry
season, from four to five months, is a
pretty good income on the money in
vested. If these figures are correct, q
man can support, comfortably, large
family from three or fve-acre tract of
land, and have several months in which
to recreate. The peculiar character of
the soil and the equable climate OF this
valley make strawberry producinga a sue
cessful and profitable business .--(Covina

Blind Rats,


Stories are often told of the kindness
Of animals to those of their companions
that are blind. Dogs and cats and
horses and cows will lead their comrades
away to their food or bring it to them,
and tho smaller animals also seem able
to understand that the helpless are to be
cared for. Not long ago an English
watchman in warehouse saw two rats
moving slowly along close to the base
raent wall. The other rats had quickly
scampered away at slight noise that he
made, but these were side by side and
hurried along in a clumsy manner. He
turned the bullseye Of his lantern full
upon them and saw that each rat held
one end Of straw in its mouth The
movements Of one showed that VT was
