EVERYTHING PARCHED.
A Drought Extends Over Many
Middle Western States.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5.-United States OBJ
server Frankenfield said to-day that
the present unprecedented drought ex-
tends all over the country. He added:
The States of Illinois, Missouri, In
diana, Kansas, Nebraska and Arkansas
are all in great need of wet weather
Iowa has had more rain than some Of
the surrounding States, but is now in
almost as bad a condition Missouri
and Illinois are suffering the most, par
ticularly the southern portion of Illi-
nois and Central Missouri. There is
yet no indication of rain
Visitors from these States say that
the ground is too dry for fall plowing,
and all the country roads are from
three to five inches deep in dust. A
white film covers all the land. The
ripening corn hangs dull and apparent
ly lifeless in the heat of a summer sun
and everything is parched. In many
sections of Missouri the cisterns have
gone dry. The Mississippi and Mis-
souri, Rivers have not been so low in
ten years.

HAWAII WILL Be ANNEXED.
SUCH is THE BELIEF OF SENA-
TOR LODGE.
Thinks There is an Easy Majority
in the Senate in Favor Of Rat
flying the Treaty.

BOSTON, Oct. 5.-'I look upon the
annexation of the Hawaiian Islands as
practically accomplished said Senator
Lodge.
THE treaty will be taken up at once
when Congress assemblies in December,
and I think that there is an easy ma
jority in the Senate in favor of its rati-
fication. If it should appear probable
that an opposition is developing suffi-
cient to defeat ratification, the remedy
will be very simple. There is a joint
resolution of annexation of the islands
on the calendar, which does not require
a two-thirds majority, as is the case in
the vote for ratification Of a treaty. A
simple majority in both houses will ac-
complish the same result, and that ma
jority we have easily If it appear
probable that a ratification may fail,
we shall simply slip in the resolution
and act upon that in place of the
treaty"
What are your views as to form of
government for the islands after an
nexation?" was aseked.
1T is settled that we do not care to
admit Hawaii as a State in the Union.
Some form Of Territorial Government
must be adopted, but exactly what it
shall be is not yet wholly clear. I am
inclined to think that we should give
Hawaii a form of government rather
broader than the ordinary Territorial
Government. For example, I should
give the islanders power to continue
their legislative body in two branches,
whereas, l believe, a Territory has
merely a single house. A Legislature
in two houses would give them gov
ernment similar to our States, but they
will not have the power to elect Sen
ators to Congress. The system of Fed
eral courts must, of course, be extended
to the islands, with District and Circuit
Judges. The local courts may be re-
tanned as the people themselves de-
sire"
You would have the Governor ap-
pointed by the President?"
Certainly; as the Governors of Ter
ritories are appointed. I should prefer.
if I were to express a preference, that
the Governor be appointed from the
islands.
''The question of suffrage should be
left to the Government of the islands
to adjust as to what is best, within the
limits set by the Constitution of the
United States, beyond which no Ter
ritory or State can go. Before Christ
mas. l certainly expect that Hawaii
will be an American Territory"
