The Fight Probably on in the Senate,
or Won, or Lost.
WAsnrNGToN, June 15.-The treaty
for the annexation Of the Hawaiian
Islands to the United States will he
sent to the Senate by President Nc
Kinley tomorrow unless present
plans are changed,
Men close to the Administration,
and others engaged in pushing
through the tariff bill, have been in
formed that ths treaty will be tran
smitted to. morrow.
1t is stated that there will be no
consideration Of the Hawaiian rsci-
procity provision in the tariff bill
until the treaty is received.
The one point OF importantauce
in which the treaty differs from the
convention negotiated by Secretary
Foster iu President Hsrrison's ad-
ministratiou is the omission OF any
provision for ex Queen Liliuokalani
and the Princess Kaiulani.
The Examiner doubts the prNctic-
ability of the Treaty over passing
the Senate, and the European
Powers ara wstching the situstion
with quiet interest.

Gladness Comes

MIN better understanding of the
wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, whichvanish before properef
forts-gcntlc efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to n constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it ic the only
remedy with millions OF families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that IL is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which IL acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxntivcs or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sliillful
physicians, but If in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informcd everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
lsed and gives general satisfaction.

Electric ~sOuncing.

1t is said By the engineers who con-
Quoted the laying of the Amazon river
cable to Manoas that the difficulties of
their enterprise would have been almost
insuperable il the ordinary methods of
sounding had had to be relied upon.
There were no charts to go by, the river
bottom WAS constantly shifting, and the
softness of the soil. mostly ~alluvial clay,
would allow the lead to sink into it for
several feet. An electrical device, fitly
named a submarine sentinel, was sus-
pended from the cable ship and set at,
say, five fathoms.
So long as there was no signal from
the sentinel" the engineer could steam
ahead without fear, but the moment the
ship got into water shallower than the
guage fixed upon the sounder gave an
alarm. and special ~reckonings were tax.
en-. A ONE hat simpler device, hav-
ing tho same end in view, has been in
vented, the idea being to have it used as
a substitute for the hand lead as a yes-
sci approaches a coast or shoal in dark
ness or fog, when the captain is doubt
full of his bearings. The apparatus con-
sists Of a metallic cylinder, having a
wuter tight chamber. Within the cham
Der works Il piston, upon the outer edge
of which is a heavy ball. When the ap-
paratus is sw inging clear in the water.
The weight of this ball keeps open an
electric circuit, but as soon as the
sounder touches the bottom the circuit
is closed, and the current, conveyed by
wires running in the cable, by which
the sounder is attached to the ship, rings
a bell in any department of the ship.
The cost Of the device is quite moderate,
and the inventor claims that its opera
ton is simple and sure.--New York
journal.

Nearly everything Nansen predicted
about his journey has come true. He
said he expected to cross the unknown
Tolnr area. and be has done it. He fore
tuld exactly the general direction in
which his ship would drift while fast

correctly assigned the cause Of this
drift. Nansen invented the model

would simply lift her on the ice. and 80
her bottom, near the keel. was made al

her screw and rudder were also ingen-
iously protected. The many experts who

cunrrw LAW or ,sprAsAroLrs.

A few days ago the capital Of Indi-
the bill was under discussion 1t was so
amended as to punish parents by fine
of from one to ten dollars for allowing
their children on the streets at night
in violation OF It's provisions. This Ia
an original feature of n curfew law,
and its practical operation win be OBJ
served with interest.
The chief objection to the usual leg
lslation of this character is that It
shifts from the parent to the police the
duty of caring for and controlling the
rising generation: but a provision pun
ishing the parents for not properly
training and governing their children
in other words, for allowing them to be
upon the streets Mt night. subject to
the temptations and ASSOCIATIONS in

large city after dark-though novel
feature of legislation. is looked to
with some hope that II may prove ben
eficial.
During the debate on the bill one OF
the counciimen said 80 arrests of min
ors under the age OF 20 years are made
every month in Indianapolis. Count
ing Grimes" for each child, he said
this made 400 "crmes" committed each
month by children whom the curfew
ordinance would restrain. Such
was the shown that aided in
overcoming the strong opposition in the
city council to the passage OF the or
