Senator Chandler is out in letter in the
Washington Post, in which he says: II
Secretary Gage continues to press upon
Congress bill to commit the country more
thoroughly to the gold standard, and the
immediate effect of which is to throw
doubts upon the sincerity of the Presidents
declarations in favor of continued efforts to
secure bimetallism, political turmoil will
arise in Congress which will split the now
united Republicans into fragments, while
it will unite and consolidate the now in
congruous opposition

Ex-senator Dubois, of Idaho, who visited
Hawaii during the Summer to investigate
for himself the annexation sentiment and
the resources of the Islands. has written an
interesting letter to Senator Pettigrew on
the subject. Mr.. Dubois makes valuable
contribution to the antiannexation argu
ment, and in concluding says
st is my calm, deliberate Judgment that
there is not just-minded, unbiased, disin-
terested American living who would favor
annexing the Hawaiian Islands to the
United slates after ascertaining the condi-
tons existing there through fair and per-
sonal investigation

of about $4,000, was sold few days ago
by Sheriff Wescott for $4,000 to the holders
