TO ANNEX HAWAII.
This is Now Regarded as One of
the CertaintieS.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Hawaii will he
annexed to the United States during the
coming session of Congess. This is one
Oh the certainties OF the session. Seua-
tors ana representatives, both advocates
anu opponents, who have thus far arrived
In Washington are practically unanimous
on this point.
PRESIDENT McKinley's message will
strongly urge upon the Senate early rat
lhcation OF the annexation treaty, and it
VIII ne one of the fist topics bought up
In the legislative sessions. The ratifica-
ZION will be strongly opposed by Senator
"nite' OF California, and others, but they
VIII be in Il hopeless minority. ACCORDING
to tie poll of the Senate made by the adj
nlnistration recently published. More
than two-thirds of the Senator's are
counted upon to vote for ratification.
All the opponents to annexation can do
is TO delay action by talk. Some of them
nave great ability in this direction and
make no secret OF their inteution to try
TO tire the Senate ard defeat ratification
by long speeches it IS not probable that.
they Will be successful, though they NAV
delay action until after the HOLIDAYS. or
even until February or March.

1t is not probable that this will he

If by any possibility the ratification of
the treaty by the Senate should be found
impossible it is the intention of the ad-
ministration and the advocates of annex
alton to annex the islands bv act of Col

two-thrds vote is necessary to ratifv n
treaty, only Il majority would be required
to pnss a bill 70" annexation There
would be no difficulty in passing such
bill through the House. The Republican
majority will probably do anything the
administration may request in regard TO
Hawaii.

HOW THE AFFAIR LEAKEn

Berlin, Nov 26. The Frankfort lei
tung says that the family of Capt. Alfred
Dreyfus, now in exile and Imprisonment
on the Isle of Du Diable, off the coast of
French Guiana, or the charge Of having
sold French secret military data to a for
eign government, engaged Sir George
Lewis, the well-known London LAWYER
to discover if possible the author of the
memorandum upon whic, Dreyfus was
convicted. Sir George Lewis is said to
have got upon the track of the Comte do
Esterhazy through the agency of an
American lady, who, through porter Mt
the GeTnian embassy in Paris, learned
that the German officials talked of the
infamy of the conviction of Dreyfus and

CHRIST CHURCH MISSION.

There is an increasing interest in the
services at Christ Church Notwithstapd
ing the fact that last night was very
stormy, the congregation was larger than
ct eny previous service during the mis-
sion: DR. McBryde is deeply earnest
preacher of Gods word and is full OF the
spirit of the Master. He makes no Mt.
tempt at oratory, but no one can hear
him unfold the scriptures and not feel
his heart burn within him His text last
night was: "By grace have We been saved.
through faith and that not of yourselves
1t Is the gift of God" The plan of sal
walton was unfolded in strong but simple
words and all who heard the sermon
must have come away with deeper sense
OF the goodness of God and of the I'M
worthiness of their own lives. What a
different thing the church of Christ
would be If all its ministers were thus
content to preach the simple Gospel and
its members to measure up to such n
faith. To-day ~ Il. m there will be a
short service for instruction in tThe
Christian Life and tonight at S:15 the
regular mission service and sermon. DR.
McBryde will also fill the pulpit of Christ
church on Sunday morning and evening.
