sal Postal congress, the fifth conven-
ton of the kind in the world, finished
its labors yesterday after a closed Ses-
sion lasting several hours. The next
of the congresses, the sixth seXtennial
one, will be held in Rome, Italy, in

general treaty and of the detailed
articles. 1t was late in the afternoon
when the final adieus were said and
the Washington postal congress was
declared adjourned to meet at Rome.
Following is an official resume of the
results of the work of the congress:
First-The principal treaty, which excludes
the entry of Corea into the postal union the
declaration of the Orange Free State (Which
failed to send delegate to Washington that it
hoped soon to enter the union. and the declara-
ton OF the Chinese empire (Which was repre-
scented at the congress) that it will observe the
regulations of the union soon as the organ

Ninth-Special arrangements concerning
packages of declared values, postal orders,
books of identity and subs criptions to journals
have been thoroughly revised This country is
not actually concerned in these arrangements

of Europe.

The Treaty VIII Probably Be Sent to the
Senate To-Day.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-The treaty
for the annexation of Hawaii to the
United States will be sent to the
senate by President Mckinley to-day
unless present plans are changed. The
one point of Importance in which the
treaty differs from the convention ne
gotiated by Secretary Foster in Presi-
dent Harrison'S administration is the
omission of any provision for ex-Queen
Liliuokalani and the Princess Kaiu-
1ani. 1t is understood that any objec-
ton that might have been expected to
the annexation of the islands, based
on the large proportion of coolies in
the population, has been forestalled by
an article not only prohibiting the fur
ther emigration of such laborers to the
Hawaiian islands, but also prohibiting
the coming of any of the Chinese from
the islands to other parts of the United
States.

LONDON, June ia special dispatch

on the arrival there yesterday of the

Barney Barnato was in many

have secured a worldwide reputation.
These have been Cecil Rhodes and Bar

was an assumed name, a sort of stage
name, for he began his life in South
