RATIFICATION UNCERTAIN.
No Chance for Immediate Annexation
OF Hawaii

OF Hawaii
WASHINGTON, June Opposition
to the Hawaiian annexation project
has broken out much more violently
than was anticipated by the admins
tration, and the treaty will be roughly
handled when it comes up in the SEN
ate for ratification. Whet Their this oppo-
sition will be able to muster sufficient
strength in that body to defeat rati-
fcation is speculative problem. 1t
looks now as though the annexation
party might not be able to command
the necessary two-thirds vote.
In any event, it is now taken for
granted that favorable action at this
special session, either in the form of
treaty ratification or legislation sns-
tanning the administration plans, will
be impossible.

The twilight deepens, and the silence brings
Within its hush thy low, still voice to me.

Uplifting all my thought to God in prayer.

And my dull sense mount up on eagle wings
Oh, love, feel my immortality

A Tried Remedy for Biliousness

Those who suffer from disorder or inao.
tion of the liver will never get the upper
hand of the unruly organ 30 long as they
use such irrational remedies as blue pills,
calomel and podopbyllin. But from the
tried and popular medicine, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, they may expec. relief
with certainty of obtaining it. The in
fluence of the Bitters upon the great
hillary gland is direct, powerful and
speedily felt. The relief afforded is not
spasmodic, but complete and permanent.
The sallowness of the skin, furred ap-
pearance of the tongue, indigestion, cos
tiveness, headache, nausea, pains through
the right side and shoulder, in fact every
accompaniment of the obstinate COM
plant are entirely and promptly re-
moved by course of this inestimable
medicine, in behalf of which testimony is
constantly emanating from every quarter,
and from all classes of society.

scallops, in spite of the warm weather
The wrists are finished with one or more
frills of lace or plaitings of mousseline de
sole or tulle. AS the sleeve is tight around
the lower part of the arm it is usually
necessary to leave the inside seam open
very little at the lower edge to insure the
easy passage Of the hand. This opening is
fastened by hooks and eyes.
Tailor made jackets now have the sleeve
made in two pieces instead of one, as
rule, since smaller sleeves are fashionable,

These drills and camps of instruction
are the making of better soldiers than
are turned out of the European facto-
ries with all their routine and strict
discipline. From these companies and
regiments of national guards in every
state, can be recruited in week so
large an army as to repel all possible
foreign invasion. The citizen soldier
knows the worth of the country, the
need of discipline and the grit of
courage is all his own. His conduct
under fire for four long years proved
him the equal of any troops ever mus
tered in any camp of the ancient or
the modern world. Only the ignorant
wag their tongues at the efficiency and
prowess and invincibility of the Amer

There is a good deal Of stir in Cuban
military circles over the announce
ment that Gomez has actually deter
mined upon attacking Havana. The
news seems hardly credible, and is
no doubt intended more to devil Wey-
Ter than for any other purpose. To
keep the Spanish troops in a constant
state of alarm, increase the hospital
victims, prevent any rest of the forces
and worry the life out of the COM
mander seems to be the insurgents
program. If however there is any
chance of Gripping the enemy by at
lacking Havana there is no fear that it
will be neglected. Gomez is without
fear and the moral effect on an at
tack upon Havana could hardly be
overrated. Weyler is evidently afraid
of what is in the air.
