No StipulatiOns in the Hawaiian
Treaty as to the Form of
Government
TO Be Accorded the Islands In
Case Of AnnexatiOn--Treaty
Completed
And Will Be Sent to the Senate
Soon After the President
Returns.

WASHINGTON, June l5.-A treaty Tor
the annexation of Hawaii to the United
States will be sent to the senate soon
after the return Of the president, unless
present plans be altered. The treaty had
been written and all its details fully
rgreed upon before the president and
Secretary Sherman left for the South.
There is no doubt, it is said, Of the pres
ident's acquiescence in the terms Of the
treaty for the reason that he was fully
aware Of them before he left.
The treaty is ON the general lines of
the treaty negotiated during the admin
istration of President Harrison and
withdrawn by President Cleveland. 1t
provides for annexation without the ex-
action of conditions on the part Of the
Hawaiians as to the form of government
to be vouchsafed Hawaii, leaving that
question to be entirely disposed of by
the United States.
The United States will agree, howev-
er, to assume the debt of the presert
Hawaiian government, but will come
into possession of the Hawaiian crown
lands and other property.
Several senator's have received definite
information concerning the existence of
the treaty and are well acquainted with
its terms, though they refuse to discuss
the matter, having received the infor-
nation in confidence. The knowledge
of the existence of the treaty has been
communicated to members of the COM
,nittee OH foreign relations and also to
members of the finance committee.
In the Republican caucuses the sub
feet of the treaty had been limited at,
but in rather vague manner. Sena-
tors asserted that there We're in progress
negotiations looking to annexation, but
they would not aver that they knew IA
treaty had been drawn, nor would they
give any assurance that it would soon
be sent to the senate. In private con-
versation with other senators, however,
they gave information that was definite
enough to satisfy those with whom they
talked that the treaty was not only to
be sent III, but that it was now already
drawn and
Only Awaiting Signatures
complete it. 1t is known that the ap-
proval of the committee on foreign re-
latiOus is assured, as eight members Of
the committee have approved its terms.
This will enable the committee to speed
lily report the treaty to the senate SO that
it may be taken up Immediately after
the tariff bill is disposed Of.
The senate has been canvassed to q
certain extent by senator's favoring an.
nexation, and while there are some SEN
ators who are non-committal, the sup.
porters of the proposition say they be-
heve they can count on the two-thirds
vote necessary to insure ratification.
The especial friends of the president
about the senate say that the treaty has
been made in accordance with his views
and exactions as to details.

quite common for the trump leader, If he re-
mains with two or more trumps, to lead for a
second discard. that he may find out in which
of the two remaining suits his partner Is the
stronger. If he continues to discard from the
same suit it is assumed that he has no choice
between the two remaining suits, in which
case the trump ieader should lead his stronger
of the two suits
ToRMEY'S ROTARY DISCARD.
1t sometimes happens that the trump leader
cannot afford 10 lead for a second discard, in
which case he must guess between the two
suits. To avoid this situation it has more
than once been suggested that the rotary dis
card might successfully be brought into play.
1t is as follows: The suits are arranged as fol-
lows: Spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds
Suppose that hearts are trum2s. The partner

mond to show a spade suit, and spade to

this will be very successful in many hands,

out giving it an extended trial.

RAILROADS IN PRUssIA.-C0nsul
Monaghan, at Chemnitz, Germany,
has sent to the State Department
report on Prussian railroads. State
ownership ofrailroads, he says, plays
an important part in Prussia's ii.
nances. The receipts for 1867
have gone beyond the estimate of the
budget, of ,020, 592, 400 marks, and
the estimate for lS97-9S is ,ll0,2lO,-
800 marks, while the total income of
the kingdom is only slightly more
than 2,000,0O0, 900 marks, thus the
railroads, owned and operated by the
government, supply more than half
It's income. No other branch of
public property" the Consul saws,
"pays so surely and so well. The
certainty of the receipts, their size
and the ease with which they are ob.
tained render them the most useful
of all the moneys turned into the
public treasury. How successfully
they are run III other respects,
whether better than they would have
been under private ownership, it is
hard to say" The tendency all over
the empire is toward state and city
ownership of all kinds of transporta.
ton facilities, as we'll as of telegraphs,
telephones and other means of com.
munication.

This State now produces 1000, 600
bales OF cotton, $4,000, 900 bushels
or corn, 1000, 900 tons Of pig iron
aud 5000, 900 tons of coal. 1t can

bushels Of corn, 100000 tons OF
pig iron and 25,000,O0O tons of coal
and maintain this rate of produc-
ton for an indefinite period. 1t has
in addition timber supply unequaled
by any State in the Union, and has
now accomplished the successful
manufacture Of steel, which will
put it abreast of the world in this

The statement is made that i'm some
sections of the South white farmers
are leaving their farms and moving
to the towns because they are afraid
to leave the women Of their house
holds unprotected while they them.
selves are working in the fields, as.
saults on white women by negroes
are becoming so numerous. AS a
remedy for this state Of affairs the
suggestion has been made and ia
vorably received that mounted coun-
try police be established to patrol
the country districts at all hours of
the day. The expense would not be
great, and the effect would be good
1t would tend to suppress all kinds
of lawlessness.

BONANZAS IN CALlFORNIA.-The
n. y. Evening Post of the 30th ult .,
has authentic and exhaustive cores
pondence from Kidding, California,
showing that the newly discovered
gold mines Of Trinity, CAL, near
Ogonline, are already considered by
many Californians as being more i'm.
portant than most Of those of the
remote Klon dixie.
A glimpse ut CALIFORNIA; gold re-
sources, past and present in this con-
nectlch, proves instructive. This
State since 1913 has produced about
81, 800, 100000 in gold, or an aver.
age of over Sl3,00O,O 900 annually
In 1896 the gold yield exceeded $l7,-
600, 900, and for the current year it
will probably equal $4,000, OOO.-
Eight counties, among which are
Trinity and Siskiyou, are now pro-
ducing at the rate Of more than SlO,-
600, 900 annually. 1T will be long
time before Alaska passes such q re-
cord as this, and it may happen that
the gold product Of California will
soon be doubled.
Few, If any, parts of the Pacific
coast have been more neglected or
contain richer gold deposits than
those Of Trinity, Shaska and Sski-
you counties. The area of these
counties is $4,000 square miles,
which is about equal to that of
Massachusetts, Connecticut and
Rhode Island united.
Trinity, with an area of | $50, 900
acres, has / 100000 acres of govern
ment land yet open tor settlement.
Only about 10000 acres are fenced
and under cultivation. The popula-
ton Of 1855 persons includes many
Chinese and Indians.

THE Hon. Richard =. Bland, of
Missouri, has written letter to the
New York World, in which he says
that the rise in the price of wheat
will probably put an extra 500, 900
600 in the pockets of the American
farmers. But he gives no thanks to
Mckinley or the Dingloy bill for
this blessing" the failure OF the
wheat crop in the principal countries
of the globe that come into cumpe-
tition with the United States, n is
well known, is the sole cause Of the
rise of the price Of wheat" he says.
| The election of Mr.. Bryan, he thinks,
would have been productive of more
general good that of Mr.. Mckinley
has been. The present BOOM" he
thinks, will last only year. In
conclusion, Mr.. Bland says:
Before the gold-standard advocate
boast upon these causes or his thee.
ries Of prosperity, as indicated by
present conditions, let HIM watt
Let him wait to see whether all the
people are employed ut fair wages.
At the present time such il not the.
case.
Indeed, strikes are the rulu-un-
employed labor exists by the mil
lions. SO that this pr Osperity cannot
be said to be universal in our cOun-
try.
With labor, on the other hand
out Of employment, as now exists
in this country, especially III our
large cities, wait and SEQ next win. |
ter how much money they will have
to purchase the necessarieS Of life
that will cost them so much more,
owing to exceptional conditions
above mentioned and the Dinglcy
bill.
If there is not universal employ
ment Of labor and good wages we
will find much suffering among u
certain class of our people instead
Of prosperity. SO that the time has
not come to say what will be the cf-
feet Of present conditions, " higher
prices and prosperity" upon the
cause of the restoration of silver
1t is too early to predict anything in
that respect with any degree of GER
tainty.
We only know that the arguments
we made heretofore are now adj.
mitted az good by our opponents.
We hope for the best for our coun-
try and for the world, and would be
glad to see prosperity everywhere,
hut so far as the cause is concerned
our argument is now admitted by
our opponents, and unless there
should exist prosperity in this coun-
try during the rest of Mr.. McKin-
ley's administration, not only will
the argument be upon our side, but
the votes also in the approaching
elections of 1898 and 1899.

SOME idea of the vast sums made
by spectators when wheat passed the
dollar mark on the New York EX-
change, may be gained by the fol-
lowing report in the n. y. Journal :.
j. Pierpont Morgan cornered
5000, 900 bushels of wheat and made
100000 by il.
Charles a. Pillsbury, Il millionaire
Of Minnesota, is said to have made
SIPS, 900.
ID. r. Francis, former Secretary of
the Interior, has profit of S2l0, 900.
Philip ID. Armour, largest dealer
in beef in the country, has made q
profit Of S350,000.
Roswell p. Flower, former Gov.
crnor Of New York, made in the
ncighborhood of 1928, 600 in one day
John Cudahy, the pork packer,
made $780, 900 in three days in the
wheat pit.
