and ended with his defeat. The
New York Evening Posts"
financial article speaks of this
rally in the security market as a
ssreal recovery" The increase
in prices of pig iron and in steel
billets is an important manifesto
ton in the same direction. Rail
road earnings have for several
weeks past been at higher figures
than were touched year ago,
while bank clearings are Begin
ming to keep them company, the
increase in clearings in the week
just ended being, for the country
at large, 7.3 per cent.
| All these changes in the gener-
al financial condition point in the
same direction. Their meaning
is obvious, and this is that a
lw1despead and permanent busl-
ness recovery is under way. Sum
mer is not the season when trade
booms begin, aud nothing of this
sort is among the probabilities of
the next three or four months.
All that these favorable indica-
tlons show is that a slow but
steady business recovery is under
way. Republicans attribute this
improvement to the defeat of the
silver party last year and the GER
tainty which it involves that the
gold standard will be maintained.
Silver men ascribe it to some
thing else, but whatever be the
cause to which it may be assigned
the fact that there is an improve
ment is unquestionable. After
the tariff bill is passed and the
uncertainty as to duties is ended
a more rapid and decided reco .ery
will set in.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June Is. 1897.
The most important event OF
the week in Washington was the
sending of the treaty for the an
nexation of Hawaii to the United
States as a territory to the senate.
There is jubilation among those
who believe that the true policy
of this government is to get con-
troll of all outlying islands in both
the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
There is some talk about the
ratification of this treaty being
made party question in the
senate, but it is hardly likely any
considerable number of senators
can be found who will ackuowl-
edge themselves to be so short
sighted as such an act would pro-
claim them to be. This is not a
party question; it is an American
question, as President Cleveland
quickly learned when he thwarted
the last attempt at annexation.
The Japanese minister has been
asking some questions about the
annexation treaty which indicate
an intention on the part of his
government to make a protest
against the treaty. 1t is not now
certain that the. treaty will be
ratified by the senate at this ses-
sion of congress, but a protest
from Japan would make 1T ratifi-
cation not only certain, but
speedy. Senator Kyle, W ho
strongly favors annexation, says
he has made poll of the senate
and that fifty-ive senator's have
declared for annexation and
twelve are in doubt about how
they will vote. Sixty votes will
be needed to ratify the treaty. In
order to be prepared for any con-
tingency, it is understood that
the friends of annexation will
introduce a joint resolution in
both house and senate annexing
Hawaii. In case there is dis
position OH the part of the oppon-
ents of annexation to fillibuster
against a vote on the treaty in
the senate this resolution will be
put through and annexation will
be accomplished just the same as
though the treaty were ratified.
Texas was annexed by a joint
resolution after a treaty had
failed of ratification. y
There IS. no doubt that the
Pettigrew antitrust amendment
