HAWA1IAN TREATY TO BE DROPPED.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Tt is quite probable
that the fate of the Hawaiian annexation treaty
will be decided ut to.morrow's meeting of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, unless
there is q decided change in the situation.
The Republican members of the committee
will admit that the two-thirds vote necessary to
ratification cannot be obtained, and enter q mo-
ton formally 10 abandon the treaty and proceed
to the consideration of Senator Morgan's an
nexation bill. which he introduced last session,
and which is now on the committee calendar.
Friends Of the treaty here have been sur

find opposition to the treaty developing among
the leaders on the Republican side of the CHAM
Der. Senators Hoar of Massachusetts and Mer-
rill of Vermont are among those who in the last
day or two have let 1t be known that they arejdis-
posed to vote against annexation. and others Of
the radical Republicans are either ready TO join
them or to perch so securely on tho fence that
their attitude amounts practically to opposition.

are ready to abandon the treaty and

II the bill Is not substituted for the treaty at

A the close of this, out thirteenth year as an

and we shall have to renew our efforts In hav-
Ing the ordinance enforced.
I'm the Street Cleaning Department our COM
mittee remains more for cooperation than for
complaint. as Col. Warning and his able assist
ant; Capt. Gibson, have fulfilled their duties so
well. Through the passage Of the Mercantile
bill our committee no longer gives inspection of
stores Its attention.. but our members are wide
awake. and when shopping are quick to detect
any unsnnitary condition or violation of health
laws. As our committee on police matrons has
united with the Prison Reform Association.
our labors have not been SO heavy, but we hope
10 secure much better accommodations for tho
uncertainties who have to pass q night in coils.
In our effort to prohibit the exposure of fruit
and fresh vegetables we have encountered q
difficulty which Is hard to overcome. While
the retail grocers arc ready to give their CO.
operation, II is the fruit stands and street cart
vendors that have to be considered, and tho
same problem exists with the exposure of fish,
as hero the vendcr must make a living. We
cannot have two sets of laws. Much thought
Is given to this intricate question by the Health
Board, and we hope before another year rolls
around that they may find q solution to it"

CUSTOMS RECEIPTS GRoWING.
Large Imports OF Wool and Sugar Will Help
Out next Month.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.-Secretary Gage has
been informed by a delegation of wool importers
from Boston that large orders for wool have
been placed with shippers abroad. and that the
invoices are expected to arrive late this month
or early in January. Tho importers believed
that the immense cargoes Of raw wool received
prior to the passage Of the Dingley bill would
keep the manufacturers OF the country busy for
many months and perhaps for n year. The orders
from manufacturers within the last fow weeks.
however, have been 30 largo as to exceed all ex-
pectations OF the importers, and new orders for
largo quantities of wool have been placed abroad.
Treasury officials believe. therefore. that the
revenues from customs sources will DO greatly
increased next month. Large importatlons OF
sugar are expected also, and from these two
augmented rapidly. In reply to an inquiry from
the American Protective Tariff League concern
ing tho excess Of expenditures over receipts
during the present fiscal year, Assistant Secre-
tary Howell OF the Treasury Department has
written n letter in which he says that II tho
amount OF imported goods had been as large
during the last four months as 1t was during
the corresponding period In 1892 the revenues
under the present law would have amounted
to S1o2, 7lo.OOo or sos, o36. o7s moro than tho
actual receipts. The less prosperous year Of
comparison. The receipts during the last four
months. had the ,importations been as large as
last year, would have exceeded the nctual re-
ceipts by S22.5 97, 90l. The receipts from Gus
toms sources, no says. have gradually increased
during the last four months.
