Senator Caffery Has New rlar for An
neXation Treaty.
WASHINGTON, December 17.-Sen-
ator Caffery of Louisiana, who is one
of the most ardent opponents of the
annexation of Hawaii, is preparing to
spring new plan after the joint reso-
luton or bill is brought in place Of the
treaty.
He says he finds that in the case Of
Texas the bill provided that the citi-
zens of the Territory to be acquired
should be permitted to show by vote
at general election their choice in the
matter, and the Territory should be ac-
quired only in case the majority favor
ed the union. Should this course be
followed in Hawaii he does not believe
there would be any doubt of the defeat
of the annexation proposition.

matter. This indicates a repetition on
national scale of the tactics employ
ed in California TO secure signatures to
petition against annexation.
The anti-annexationists have taken
headquarters in Nassau street. New
York, and are sending out a mass of
matter. They present all the arguments
known to Californians. and allege that
a large majority of all workingmen,
farmers and business men of the
States most affected are bitterly oppos-
ed to the taking of the Islands.
Senator Hoar has now arrayed him
self openly with the anti-anneXation-
lists. Senator White says he is making
converts daily, but leaders of the an
neXation fight. such as Davis and Frye,
insist they have no fear of the out

BEFORE CONGRESS
January 4 Set for Opening An
neIati0n Discussion.
FRIENDS HOPEFUL OF ISSUE
Japan'S New Ministry Opposes
Policy Advocated BY
Count Okuma.

WASHINGTON, December 14.-Ha-
waii was not mentioned in the Demo-
cratic caucus at which 101 member of
the House minority gathered tonight,
the ranks and material encouragement
| to the friends of annexation. The posi-
| ton taken by the party leaders in the
| Senate led to a forecast that there
would be strong pronOuncement by
| the Democrats of the House tonight
Two men succeeded in preventing this.
One Congressional visitor to the ISL
ands last summer was Berry of Ken
lucky, who came back convinced that
the Islands are necessary to the de-
Ivelopment and security of the Nation.
Joined with him in this opinion is Amos
Cummings Of New York, hard fighter,
vigorous talker and aggressive Amer
lean. There was strong feeling on the
part of some of the leaders that the
caucus should take stand against
President McKinley's policy. Berry
and Cummings went to Caucus Chair
man Richardson and other leaders and
told them that if the caucus took a
stand against annexation they would
refuse to be bound by such action and
would endeavor to prevent the passage
| in caucus of resolution.
AS there was perfect harmony in re-
gard to action in Cuba and against
Secretary Cages financial policy, it was
thought best by the leaders not to pre-
cipitate a Hawaiian debate which
would lead to hot fight and show that
there was split in the ranks.
This encourages the friends of an
nexation to believe that they can Sc
cure mojarity in the House with ease
Meanwhile the anti-annexationists
are active, flooding members with doc
uments, pamphlets and letters, issued
presumably from the New York head
quarters of the literary bureau. They
seem to regard delay in the matter as
confession of weakness and say they
are gaining ground.

WASHINGTON, December 15.-The
heaviest gun of the anti-annexationists
in the way of influencing members of
the Senate was fired today when there
was received by them and the Cabinet
officers a letter from the American Su-
gar Growers Society, signed by Presi-
dent Allen, Secretary Snow and other
officers. protesting against the taking
of the Islands by the United States.
The point made by them was that su-
gar growers, both beet and cane,
should have chance to fill the place
now occupied by 250,O00 tons of Hawai-
ian sugar.
The most significant point in the let
ter. however, is a paragraph asking
that action on the treaty be deferred
until the farmers, who, the letter de-
clares, are a unit against annexation
shall have a chance to be heard in the

/ WASHINGTON, December 13.-The
rapid switching of Congressional senti-
ment is responsible for the decision
made today by Senator Davis, chair
man of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee, to postpone action on the Hawai-
ian treaty until after the holidays.
While the close Of last week found
him strong in the belief that the treaty
must be abandoned for the bill and
joint resolution, he has reasons now
for thinking the treaty has good
chance of success if proper discussion
be given to it. This decided him to not
call up the Hawaiian matter until after
recess, which it is now proposed II
have extended from December 18th t.
January 4th.

The SunfIower and Its Uses.

The sunfiower Is a native of America.
In 1869 it was introduced into Europe,
and is now extensively cultivated there,
particularly in Russia, where it has
been grown for fifty years, principally
for the oil contained in its seed. The
seeds, after the shells are removed,
contain 81 per cent. of oil. This oil is
clear, light yellow, nearly odorless, and
of a peculiar pleasant and mild taste.
It Is said to be superior to both almond
and olive oil for table purposes, and Is
used In making soap and candles. In
Russia the larger seeds are sold In i'm
n1ense quantities to the lower classes of
the people who eat the kernels as we
do peanuts. The stalks furnish a valu-
able fertilizer, while the green leaves
are dried, pulverized and mixed with
meal as food for cows. The stalk pro-
duces an excellent fiber. It Is said that
Chinese silk goods commonly contain
more or less sunfiower fiber. The So
called Niger seed oil Is made from a
species of the sunfower family which
Is a native of Abyssinia. Tt furnishes
the common lamp oil of Upper India,
where it is largely cultivated.

and melancholy droop to the tawny
mustache which parted over his full red
lips.
Clasped closely to his breast was a
shapely little head, and his slender fin
gers played in and out among the
golden curls which covered It.
1t was broad daylight. He sat be-
fore an unshaded window. The un-
sympathetic gaze OF the waiting pas
sengers on the nearby elevated station
enveloped him like a cold mist-pene-
trating to his very soul.
But he did not move. He did not
care. He was the most expert wig

Shotgun Barrels.

Why shotgun barrels should be so ex-
pensive compared with rifles is a ques-
ton often asked. 1t is on account of
the expense of making the barrels. The
United States Consul at Leige, Belgium,
describes the manufacture of the bar
rels made there as follows:
THE steel Is imported from West
phalia; the iron is manufactured at
Couvin. The factories receive their
motive power from the River Vesdre.
The ingot for the production of the
curled damascus which is the favorite
design for fine guns is composed Of
about thirty sheets of iron and steel,
each having the thickness of 4 milli-
meters and a breadth of 120 millime-
ters, which form a SO uare mass about 90
centi1neters long, and are enveloped in
a box of common thin sheet iron or by
small wires at each end. The package
thus prepared is put into a furnace and
welded together at the lowest possible
temperature. Too great a heat destroys
the metal and yields a burned damas
Gus, showing a small, If any, design
Each barrel receives $50 welding heats
while being forged. If one of these
welding heats is, unsuccessful, the bar
rel may be a failure, either by the alter
alton of the danascene appearance or
by a trace of the smallest imperfection
in welding Swedish iron is not used
in forming curled danascus-only re-
fined iron of Belgium which gives a
greater contracting hue to the steel,
and can be welded at a lower heat. Aft
er the ingot is welded it is rolled into
small square rods of to 8 millimeters,
according to the design of the danas-
Gus desired.
THE rods are then drawn into rib
bons by the smiths. The manipulation
of these ribbons at high temperature
Is such that, in length of one meter,
200 twists are shown. The twisting
increases in pitch toward the thinner
part of the barrel, which is first formed
by winding the ribbons on a nlandrel,
and welding the coils together at the
edge. The barrels are then bored out,
Strengthened, ground and polished. The
joining of the barrels for double-barrel-
ed guns Is process requiring great
care, as the value of the gun largely de-
pendS upon the accuracy with which
this part of the process is executed.
Each barrel is proved by a shooting
test at the mandatory before it is
placed on sale. 1t is said that the an
nual production of these barrels is 3OO,-
900, and that they are exported chiefly
to England and the United States"
