MORGAN ON ANNEXATION.
Considers the Hawaiian Islands II

dispensabIe to Our Government.
San Francisco, Oct. Ex-senator Nor
gan and his daughters and F. NJ.
Hatch, the new minister from Hawaii,
were among the passengers who ar
rived from Honolulu on the steamship
Belgic yesterday. Senator Morgan was
more than ever enthusiastic on the
subje>t Of annexation, and intimated
that Hawaii may become a part of this
country before the close of the coming
year He says:
Hawaii is certainly good to be a
state, but whether it will be at the
time of its annexation or later remains
to be seen. Should it be annexed as
a territory the Hawaiian commissioners
will recommend that the islands be ad-
mitted to statehood, and a special act
of congress would undoubtedly fol-
low.
Il have favored annexation from the
beginning, but l was surprised upon
investigating the matter to find that
the arguments in favor Of the move
ment had been under estimated. In my
opinion Hawaii is absolutely indispen-
sible to the United States, and we must
have those islands. The only oppo-
sition found was that of few of the
Lilioukalani royalists who have no
weight over there. and are for the most
part royalists for revenue only"

STOCK AND PRODUCE MARKETS.


An Undertone of Strength, but the
Volume of Transactions Small.
New York, Oct. 19.-The undertone of
todays market was one of strength
throughout. The volume of transactions
was not large, and there were prolonged
periods Of dullness when trading was
practically stagnant, but the operations
of important interests which were promi-
nent in the late bull market We're mani
fest. The tone Of yesterdays market had
apparently determined large professional
operators to undertake a movement for a
rise today. The break In the price of
Pullman, due to the news of the death
of the head of the company. halted the
operations of this element for time, but
the flrmness of the general list in face of
the break in Pullman and of marked
weakness in Chicago Gas and the strong
support which was offered the Pullman
stock encouraged the bull operators to re-
new their campaign in an aggressive way
late In the afternoon. The result was
that the shorts were driven to cover and
prices throughout the list mounted strong
ly upward to a point materially above
last nights close. Closing bids

was apprsed Of the death of her hus-

arriving here today, accompanied by
her two sons, George and Sanger.
While seemingly in good health, Mr..
Pullman had been complaining during
the last three or four days Of the hot

AT 4.30 yesterday morning he called his

but sank into Inconsistencies before

Let tho people of New Castle celebrate

are the best judges it would be unfair to
criticize them too strongly.

The Manitoba school Snarl

Winnipeg Man. Oct. 20.-A letter has
been received in the city which pur-
ports to contain the text of the finding
in the school question based on the
report of Mgr. Merry Del Val. The
finding as outlined in the letter is re-
garded as taking a favorable view CT
the settlement reached between the fed
eral and local governments. 1t states
that where interests differ, but do not
clash, the church desires that there
shall be harmony" This is interpreted
to mean that where both church and
state can attain their object without
a sacrifice of cardinal principles in one
system of schools these may be adopted
by the church.

ity With the Toiler.
New York, Oct. 2O.-Eugene v, Debs
addressed a mass meeting of cloak
makers last night During the course
Of long speech Mr. Debs said: "You
can always rely on us in Chicago to
render you such assistance as lies in
our power. I agree with the propo-
sition of abolishing the wage system,
but we cannot do 1t today or tomor-
row, or the next day, but while it re-
mains we must do all we can until 1t
is finally abolished and gives way to
the cooperative system. Every strike
that is lost reduces the condition of the
workers and hastens the overthrow of
the wage system"
While Mr.. Debs was telling of the
offer he had made to John D. Rookie
feller to line up $4,000 starving and
ragged men along the lake front of
Chicago to show the triumph of capi-
tai over labor some one in the audience
shouted, "One of these angels Is dead"
Peace to his ashes," said Mr.. Debs.
"Mr. Pullman would not arbitrate when
he had nothing to arbitrate. He Is on
an equality with the toller now."
