second protest against the annexation

take the Interpretation OF international
law held by Hon. john w. Foster w zen

tions are in terms perpetual, expire in
case either of the contracting parties
loses its existence as an Independent

plea that she has a treaty with Hawaii
more favorable to her subjects than
any she has or can make with the Unit

Alaskan Whisky,

Whisky stories are beginning to come
from Alaska. In the four saloons at
Louise Town the whisky is made from
alcohol and brown sugar. With every
glass placed on the bar whisk broom
is placed beside it, a Seattle man was
telling the story of his first drink to r.
few friends and in the course of the
story explained the use of the whlsk
broom. On his calling for a glass of
whisky the broom was handed to him,
as the others at the bar. Not wishing
to show his ignorance, he waited until
the others had flushed. After down.
ing the mixture they went over to a
pile of sawdust. where for few min
utes they rolled around in fit. The
whisk broom was used to brush off the
sawdust. The Seattle man poured his
glass on the floor. having received a
vivid temperance lesson.

A New Cheap Fuel.

A possible new rival TO coal is loom
ing up ia masut, a dark brown oily
liquid which is a bi-product in the dis
tiliation of raw petroleum, says the
Philadelphia Record. Russia and sew
eral other countries have already eX-
perrin ented with masut, but the most
thorough aud successful test has been
mace by Germapy. The German
N .sut is obtained from a cheap coal Of
SaXony, and il is hard to unders tand
how this new product can be cheaper
40 to 80 per cent as claimed) than the
coal it-elf. Not only is such d claim
now made, but it, cheat raising quail
tiles are also said to exceed those of
carbon. Its easy taukage, its almost
utter independence of stocking ard its
smokelessness will, if report be true,
recommend masut for use on warships.

Activity at Brooklyn Navy Yard.

That there is any special significance
in the fact is not admitted. bat work is
being pushed at the Brooslyn navy
yard in a strikingly vigorous manner.
All the departments are going ahead at
full speed on the ships that are under
going repairs.
The blttleship Texas is scheduled to
leave the yard on Wednesday next and
catch up wit. the fleet as soon as pos
sib e, but she will return to the yard
later in the month for a visit to the
DIV dock. Changes have been made IN
the hydraulic system governing the
movements of her turrets. and
telescope sights have been fixed to her
big guns.
On the Cincinnati, which is in the
dry dock, changes are being made
which will require at least three weeks
more time. Both bow aud stern tor
pedo tubes are being remove d srd her
sea valves have been thoroughly over
hauled.
The Annapolis is being fitted for
sea, but will not be ready for couple
of weeks.
On the Detroit there are to be sew
eral changes il battery arrangement,
and the 6-inch guns she now carries
will be removed. Her original de-
signs called for battery of ten 5-inch
guns, but when she went into commits
sion only eight of the cali6re were
available, and two of an inch greater
diameter were used. This affected the
stability of the ship, and now that
there are 5-inch guns to be mad. the
original designs to be carr ed out.
Work on the foundations for the en-
giues of the Chicago will be started
this week, and when that j. finished
the ship will be rushed ahead TO COM
Dletion She will be hoated before
the boilers and engines are put on
board, as the travelling crane has not
enough reach to lift the big masses of
metal over the sides.

has been started on the work of re-
moving her engines and boilers pre-
paratory to placing her in the dry dock

A company of spiritualists from Fort

night, which was attended by many
Indians. To convey the spirit mes
sages, the medium used trumpet
which protruded through an opening

After the seance had proceeded for

Sequoyah. He then asked the spirit,
"Who invented the Cherokee alpha

THE TERRI ORAL FAIR.
The Outlook Nest Promising for a
Good Exhibition.

Good Exhibition.
The Territorial Fair association are
out for big time this year. 1t has a
large executive committee of the best
element in that live city in charge of
the work.
The resources of the territory are to
receive more than usual attention this
year as is shown by the large increase
in the prizes for county and district
exhibits in the field of agriculture,
horticulture aud mining. 1t has put up
$3.50 90 for the best and largest collec-
ion of fruit grown in any county in
New Mexico and Arizona, the first
prize to be 5000 90, the second $4,000
and the third 5000. The best collec-
ton of fruit raised by any one exhibitor
will be 5000 for the first prize and
$40 90 for the second. For the best and
largest collection of field, farm and
garden products grown in any one
county the first prize will be $4,000,
the second S75 90 and the third $1,000.
For the best general collection of ores
from any county in New Mexico and
Arizona the first prize will be S2OOOO,
the second 500 90 and the third $4,000.
For the best cabinet collection of ores
belonging in New Mexico and Arizona
the first prize will be $500 and the
second S15 90 The association will
bi all the various products of the
country.
The executive committee has made
great innovation this year in the GUS
tomary program in the speed ring and
field sports. and have simply adjusted
things in this line to meet the de-
mands of the people who patronize the
fair.
There will be three or four running
ra hIOG6 pE
No one can afford to miss the races this
year.
The experience of the association last
year convinced it that a ball tourna-
ment and bicycle races were among
the popular things with the people.
The association will therefore put up
$15O0.OO for a ball Tournaments, to be
open to the world, the money to be G1-
vided into four pr yes: the first prize
100000, the second $4,000, the third
$4,000 and the fourth 5000 60. No
charge will be made for entering the
ball teams in the tournament. but the
clubs entering will be required to
make their entry and file the names of
the players On Or before August % at
midnight. 100000 will go to the fast
est riders. A complete program of BIZ
cycle races will be issued in few
days.
The secretary is in CORES Ondence
with the railroad officials to secure ex-
ceptionally low rates to the fair this
year and is also urging the Railroad
Co. to give hOmeseexers excursion
rates from the eastern states to Albu-
querque during the fair, with thirty
days to look at the territory, if they SO
desire, and return home on their excur-
sion rates.
The executive commit lee believe
that with the co operation of the Rail
road Co. in getting homeseekers to
visit New Mexico during the fair.
where can be seen the resources of our
territory as they will be exhibited, the
fair can be made of great practical
value to the territory. The Territorial
Fair association therefore appeals to
the citizens of New Mexico to join
with it in preparing great exhibition
of New MeXico's wonderful resources
that will be a credit and lasting benefit
to the territory.
