A Always the same, deW mother art,
Rocking the baby to and fro.

Hummed In sleepy undertone.

Winking as long as wink he may.

Softly struck with his wee war club.

Under the palm trees mothers come
Ethiope mothers, dark as night
Chanting the same old silvery flow,
Swinging the baby to and fro.

"using the livery Of heaven to serve tho

the campaign. The tirst Representative
chosen to Congress, G. T.. Alien, had
been for years a powerful and uncom-

he was elected with the aid of Mormon
votes. The twelve apostles are divided
between the two great parties. Tho

years Of political solidarity appears to

their discussions with the proverbial

powerful influence. They have made
an indelible impression upon the instl-

IT'S A BIG GIFT TO SPRECKELS.
EChicagO RecOrd.l

Washington, ID. c., June 12--The be-
lief that Hawaii is to be shortly annexed
to this country prevented the Republican
Senators in caucus this morning putting
a duty on sugar from those lands.
Letting Hawaiian sugars in free, y
Senator Mason said to me, means a loss
of $1,000,OOO of revenue month. And
all for one man-Spreckels."
So, too, majority of the Republicans
argue.
BIT they want to see Old Glory float
ing over Hawaii. They believe that moth
ing should be done to retard such a con-
summation of pending negotiations.
And so, though there will be another
caucus this afternoon, they will, they
say, permit the present commercial treaty
to continue, with possibly an amendment
giving the President power to abrogate
or modify if annexation is not an ac-
cepted fact by Jan. /, 1898.
In the course of his speech in the eau
Gus Senator Frye said that the contem-
plated treaty of annexation with Hawaii
would not contain, as did the former
treaty, a provision appropriating 1000
for ex-Queen Liliuokalani. The president
did not approve it,and the Hawaiian gov
eminent did not ask it.
The enactment of the Senate sugar
schedule into a law will impose an addi-
tional annual tax of $4,000, 900 upon the
American people.
Such is the judgment of experts, who
have dissected the schedule. and based
their calcula tons upon a careful consid-
GRAFTON of its manifold ramifications.
Republican politicians will deny this.
p,,+ ,n1c NV
they were that the Senate caucus which
framed the new schedule would do aught
in the trusts favor.
And yet, since that caucus, sugar stock
has advanced over 81 per share.
And" said an authority in the SEN
ate to me today, ''if this schedule be-
comes a law, the stock will advance to
the 200 point"

Delgado, Brigadier-General Castillo and
Gen. Alexander Rodriguez, authorizing
him to proceed to the United States as

When attacked, although taken by sur
prise and having only a handful of poor
Nv armed men at his command, DIR. Winn
is reported to have made most resolute
defense of the hospital. His resistance
was not entirely Intellectual, for he held
the Spanish troops at bay until ma
jority Of the sick and wounded inmates
had been borne away in hammocks to
places Of safety. Then he fell. His coat
and shoes were stripped off by the Span
ish guerrillas, whose commander brought
them to Havana as trophies of the raid
and placed them upon exhibition at the
palace headquarters of Captain General
Weyler's general staff.
