When Hawaii becomes part
of the United States as soon
she will, her trade with this cOun-
try will be merely a coasting
trade, and as result her carrying
must be done in American bot
toms. This is where the shoe
pinches in all foreign opposition
to that annexation. There are
people and nations that do not
like to fly the American flag or
see it floating on those ships that
bear productions to American
ports. but they will have to grin
and bear it in the case of the
Hawaiian trade, Cuba would be
in the same boat if she were a
part of these United States.

1t is asserted in well informed
government circles that the ad-
ministration at Washington has
its finger ON all the data that is
needed to convict the Spanish
government of injustice and mac
curacy, in its charges of lack OF
good faith in enforcing the neu-
trality laws. The number of ex-
petitions landed in Cuba as well
as the number started and those
Intercepted are all on file, and
these files show that the
number of successful expeditions
is not one in three of the number
reported, and also that many have
been intercepted and turned back
that no publicity has been given
to. These facts have been laid
before the Spanish government
and there is no doubt these repre-
sensations have made good i'm
preston on that people. The
Mckinley. government is doing its
work without any flourish Of
trumpets, but it is making a rec
ord all the same.

True to his instincts there will
be no cessation of seal killing by
Canadian John. The seals in
deep water will be hunted to their
death. Uncle Sam can stop this
by issuing an edict for the exter-
mination of the animals on the
breeding grounds, and that would
end the whole business. 1t would
close out the destruction a little
sooner, it is true, but the profits
would be to the United States
and not to Canada and the seals
would be none the worse off.
Such greed as the Canadians and
Great Britain have manifested in
this thing should be rebuked,
and it is quite time that the Unit
ed States quit protecting the seals
on the breeding ground, for it
only perpetuates the seal herds
to be made the prey of the Cana
dams in the open waters.

THE TARIFF BILL.
Business Men Want the Measure
Passed Without Long Talks.
SUGAR, WOOL AND POTTERY.
From Present Indications the Three schod-
ules Are Certain to BE Materially MOdl.
fed as Many Republicans Are OPP
posed to Them.

WASHINGTON, May 19-SOme of the
republican senators are receiving many
letters and postal cards urging them
to do all they can to secure the enact
ment of a new tariff law by June 80
and they begin to believe there is a
preconcerted movement on foot among
business men throughout the country
to bring about the passage Of the
bill without prolonged debate. Sem
ator Berry, of Arkansas, democrat,
does not see why any of the old sena-
tors want to talk upon the general
subject of protection or free trade.
All Of them, he said, had discussed
that subject in the senate before and
probably had nothing new to say upon
it. Some of the new senator's might
want to make record speeches on the
subject.
The great danger of prolongation
of the discussion lies in the disputed
schedules These are matters of detail,
but they will be fought to the bitter
end and may possibly delay vote be-
yond the middle or latter part OF next
month The republican leaders will
make strong efforts to have the new
tariff law take its place on the statute
books by or before July l, but it does
not now seem probable that success
can attend their efforts,
From present indications, the sugar,
wool and pottery schedules are certain
to be materially modified, especially
as many republicans are opposed to
them. There has been talk among the
democratic senators about presenting
substitute which would more nearly
represent the democratic idea of a
tariff measure than the present law,
which is not acceptable to majority
of the democratic representatives in
and out Of congress. This course,
however, may not be followed, mainly
for the reason that it would be inn
practicable to formulate complete
measure in time to be available. Dem
ocratic members of the finance COM
mittee favor making a general attack
upon the bill of the majority and OF
presenting amendments to the several
schedules and the more important
items as these are reached in the regu-
lar order of consideration.

committed the crime. The police be-
gan a close search of the sausage fac
tory yesterday, in which the crime is
believed TO have been committed. The
developments in the case all tend more

the police that the woman was slain
by her husband in the sausage factory,
and that he then destroyed her body
by means of strong acids in watts in the
basement of the building.

Amount of Money In Vaults Of Kansas City
Bnnks-Lending More Freely.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May l9.-The
statements of national banks which
were called for yesterday by the comp
troller of the currency, show a sub
stantial growth of business in Kansas
City in the past nine weeks. The total
resources of the eight national banks
in Kansas City are $1,000, 900 greater
than on March Q, and nearly $4,000, 900
more than ON May I, 1896. Some OF
the banks in the past few weeks have
been lending money much more
freely than for many months
past, because of the feeling that
the financial uncertainties are at an
end, and long period of prosperous
times is before them. The total cash
holdings of the banks now amount to
$40, 6s3, 900, which is 40 per cent. Of the
total deposits in all the banks. 1t is
evident, therefore, that there remains
a very wide margin for farther expan-
sion of loans.
