CHICAGO, Nov ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Ratification Of the Hawaiian annexation
treaty by the United States senate is assured.
The administration has made poll of that
body, and as result President Mckinley is sat-
lstled that more than two-thirds Of the SEN
ators will vote for ratification. When the
treaty was submitted to the senate on
June IS last 80 senator's we're depend
cd upon to cast their votes in favor
Of the instrument, II senators were
doubtful and 81 were opposed to It's ratification.
Since that time the administration has taken
steps to ascertain the views OF men who were
then In doubt As o result President Mckin-
ley Is depending upon 81 senators who will GER
ainly cast their votes in favor Of the treaty with
prospects OF the addition of several votes to
this number The treaty is in excellent shape
for prompt action. 1t was fully considered by
the senate committee on foreign relations,
reported to the senate and placed on the
calendar with practically the unanimous In
d0rsement OF the committee There were no
votes cast against 1t, though Senators Turpie
and Daniel refrained from voting because they
had not fully made up their minds as to what
position they would take in the matter 1t is
said to be the purpose OF Chairman Davis, at
the first executive session, to ask that a day be
fixed for taking up the treaty Ratification

KANSAS SCHOOL TAXES.


The Subject Of Their Present Inequality to
Come Before the Teachers Association.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 1S.-One of the
subjects to come before the meeting of
the State Teachers association in De.
cember is the present inequality in
the school tax laws of Kansas In the
collection Of material for the associa-
ton on this point it is found that in
the county of Washington the tax rate
ranges from 4 to 30 mills on each 81 Of
valuation; in Woodson county, from 1
to 80; in Reno, from to 90 in Shaw
nee, from 8 to 81. The teachers claim
that it is very unjust law that forces
one community to pay nine times more
school taxes than another in the same
county, and that such a law needs to
be corrected before there can be other
reforms in the school system or higher
wages paid to those who conduct the
schools

A LETTER FROM FIR ". [. ToNEy, CONCERNING THE
 GoD. FAVORED COUNTRY
Rich Land, Magnificent Water, Fat Cattle and an Abundanc of
 Game.
AiY DEAR SIR

AlY DEAR SIR
 Replying to your favor of a recent date will say that I. think this is the finest cattle country ever saw. We can raise cattle cheaper here than they can be raised in Kansas or Missouri. for there they have to feed them all of the winter months and here they live on the range and keep fat.
 Our grass here is much better than it is in other parts of the State, it is very much like the Indian Territory grass and is more tender. and re- mains green until frost, then under that has whiebeen Killed by the frost is fine grazing and will keep the sle in good condition all winter
 When arrived here on d2th and took charge of Bear Creek Ranch. l found about fifty head of young steers and heifers on tie range that W as fat, and theY had not been fed any through the winter. So you see it costs comparatively nothing to raise a steer CT heifer to be three years old, and they will weigh from six hunderd to thous- and pounds al that age. They are worth on the market at most any time from three to four cents gross. So YOU can easily see that if man will start him little ranch in this part of Perry county it will take but little money to stock ii, and after the second year his income is good and is costing him comparatively nothing.
 There is no danger of the range ever being fenced up or disturbed Ill any way. for the country is thlnly settled and the most of 1t IS tool ever to be brought into cultivation, except the little valleys, which are very rich, will make forty bushels oi corn per acre.
 Our friend.J NJ. Goza, has taken in about ten thousand acres of lana and has it very well stocked, though he is buying some cattle yet, and Il he continues to stay with it. hls efforts are soon to be crowned With success; from what 2 can see he is yerg much pleased with his pros poets.
 Ks to the water, there is none better or more bountiful, the country being full oi springs that are inexhaustible. and lots of them being different kind of mineral You would think, to drink out some of these springs this hot weather, that it was ire water.
 There is qaite U lAt ot g4iile hfre, s,,s,, as deer. tt4sAey and smaller game, you eau go out and hnd
