OPPOSES ANNEXATION
BUT MAKES AN EXCEPTION IN
HAWAII'S CASE
Sherman Would Accept the Islands
But Not as state-Prompt
Action Impossible

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-In view of
the fact that false and misleading state
ments had been sent out from Washing
ton as to Secretary Sherman's position
Hawaii, the Secretary today said to an
Associated Press correspondent that as
rule he was opposed to the United
States acquiring outlying terriecry, blu.
he regarded the condition of the Ha-
waiian Islands as exceptional on ac-
count of the claim of Japan against tn .
islands. He therefore approved the
treaty making Hawaii a possession OF
the United States, but not entitled to
admission as State.
NOT THIS SESSION
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Davis, Chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations said today
that he would not make an effort to
press the Hawaiian treaty to final con
sideration in the Senate during the pres
ent session.
A JAPANESE CRUISER
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1s.-The
Japanese man-of-war Hiyle is on her
way to this port. She will receive orders
here from the Japanese government,
and it is anticipated that she may be
ordered to Hawaii. The visitor will be
welcomed by the monitors Monterey and
Monadnock, which vessels will not start
for the north until after her arrival.

THE WOOL SCHEDULE.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The advo-
Gates in The senate of an increase of the
duty on wool held a meeting today ard
decided upon the following as the rates
which they Will ask the committee to fix
on wool:
First class-Tn grease, unskirted, 10
cents per pound; in grease, skirted. 10
cents per pound; if washed, double these
rates; if secured. treble.
Second class-In grease, unskirted. II
cents per pound; in grease, skirted, 12
cents; washed double; secured. treble.
Third class-Worth not exceeding 6
cents per pound, 3 cents duty: worth
over cents and not exceeding 10 cents.
cents per pound; worth over 10 cents
per pound, cents. If secured, treble.
These rates are much higher than
those originally fixed by the senate COM
mittee and the wool men regard them as
more advantageous than those in the
house bill or in the Mckinley law.
There were present at the meeting a
dozen or fifteen senators, representing
all the states in which wool is an indus
try of especial Importance.
There was at one time today pros
pect of a Republican caucus on the sub
ject, but it was decided, instead. to pre-
sent the claims Of the wool men to the
finance committee, with the hope that
the committee would concede the in
creases asked. If the concession is not
made caucus is probable.
The schedule agreed upon today was
presented at the meeting of the repub-
licans of the senate finance committee
tonight For over three hours the ques-
tions presented were discussed in a con-
versational way but no definite con-
clusios were reached. Among the sem
ators present We're Messrs Mantle, For
aker, Mcbride, Hanna and Warren.

CARRIER PIGEONS.
Some Birds Have the Homlng Instinct
Very Strongly Developed.

Two interesting questions present
themselves concerning the length Of
time during which the pigeon can rec
elect the place of his home and the dis
lance from which he is able 10 End his
way back TO it. Some birds have found
their way home after five years alb
sence, and it is generally considered
that good birds can be depended upon
for six months. Pigeons have returned
from Vienna and from Rome to Brus-
sells. and others, sold 10 be carried away
to America, have made their way back
to their original owner in Belgium.
When pigeons were to be sent beck
and forth II has been usual to keep
two sets, with their respective homes
at either end of the course; and, when
they have reached their home, to carry
them back TO the places from which
they are to be dispatched. An in
genious process has been devised to
overcome this difficulty and cause the
birds TO fly with equal certainty in both
directions. Pigeons, for example, whose
home is in Paris. are confined for sew
eral days at 81. Denis and fed there nj
a stated hour every day With some ia
vorite food which is not given them at
their real home. They become in the
course of time familiar with their new
home and its choice dishes. When set
at liberty they start Off at once for
Paris. without forgetting the good
things they enioyed at st. Denis When
they are TO be sent back they are made
to fast little while and are then let
loose at about feeding time at s..
Denis. They go thither, and, when they
have their own way. time their going
so as to be there at the exact moment
of feeding. Birds have thus been taught
to fly back and forth regularly between
places 20 miles apart.-Appleton's Pop
uiar Science Monthly.

BLESSING THE LAMBS.



There is most poetieal and beautiful
ceremony celebrated in Rome on s..
Agnes day in the blessing Of the lambs
from whose wool the garments of the
pope are made.
These pretty little creatures are
brought up and cared for by the nuns
who on st. Agnes day every year bring
the new lambs that have been born
during the year to receive a blessing.
There is first a mass said by TIE
bishop, who wears a gorgeous ehasubIs
of pink velvet embroidered with pearls
and silver threads. pink gloves with the
sacred monogram embroidered on the
back, and carries a diamond enerusted
inter.
At the end Of this mass the lambs are
carried in by soldiers in full uniform.
The beautiful little creatures, whittier
than snow and innocent as only lambs
can appear, rest ia white velvet baskets
On beds of crimson roses. Around their
fluffy soft necks hang garlands Of pink
rosebuds tied by white satin ribbons.
and on their woody heads are crowns OF
red and white roses.
These lovely little balls Of downy flesh
gaze at first with pItiful appeal in their
innocent eyes at the procession Of
priests in gorgeous robes and at the bril-
liantly-lighted cathedral.
When the lambs have reached the al.
tar the bishop removes his pink silk
gloves and dips the tips of his fingers in
Il golden basin containing holy water
With this he sprinlsles the timid lamb
kins, who are apt at this point to at
tempt to rise in alarm from their
flowery beds in the velvet baskets.
They are gently thrust back, however,
by their custodians; the prelate strokes
their heads rcassuringly, says bene-
diction over them, and the blessing Of
the Lambs" is ended until another year.

PRINCE ALeEsr IN AMERICA
RIa Impressive Wait 60 the Tomb OF
Washington.

An historical event was the visit ST
the prince Of Wales to Mount vernon
and the tomb of Washington. Poets and
PAINTERS might be inspired BY tn sIee-
taele of the future king of England
standing bareheaded before the resf-
ing place Of the father Of the republic.

What memories. what thoughts must
have moved the distinguished person

and greatest of Americans.
During the soiourn Of the prince at
the national capital the political IN
trigues with which the country was
then seething commenced to involve
him. The pro-sla4ery leaders eonsld-
cred the part that England might be
called upon to play in ease the threats
of the seeessionists were put IN force
after the election. and we're q1ilck 70
seize the opportunity to influence pub
lie sentiment in England by couftesies
to the prince. So they formed the bold
project of taking him through the
south to see slavery as a ''paternal IN
stitutfon." After some discussion be-
cen the duke Of Newcastle and Lord
Lyons the invitation Of representative
southern men was accepted and the
party went on the revenue cutter Har-
riet Lane to Acqu5a creek, and thence
by the ribbon rail" road-a railroad
with broad, fiat rails that often curved
Nd ike ribbons-to Richmond. The
prince was welcomed By whites and
blacks at the fair grounds, visited thu
state capitol and waJ driven to Pow
hatan, where PocahoT.tas saved the life
of Capt Smith, and to Hakhalfs planta-
tation, and a great slave sale that had
been widely advertised was postponed
so as not to offend British suscepti-
bilities. The contrast between the free
cities Of the north aE.d the slavery city
of Richmond impressed the prince; he
was pushed and annoyed by crowd o.
rowdies, who shouted: ''He soeked il
to you'll" and ooh. yea, you love himi
while he inspected doudon's statue Of
Washington; he was almost eaten hy
mosquitoes. and he fIstly refused t.
leave his carriage 10 visit the Negro
quarters at HaxhaIl's. The idea Of con
tiuuing his southern trip as far a

the party hurried back to Washington
and took the first train for Baltimor,
