But hold that the decision rests
with the Hawaians, that as long as
they, the children of the soil, intelli-
gent citizens decline to axe that
view, the United States will take no
steps in the direction of annexation.
So long as the genius of the Amer
lean idea respects and upholds the
rights Of majority, so long will the
American people decline, and that
in no uncertain tones to accede to
the ridiculous pretensions OF a pitt
full minority, whose motive is
neither love for our country or its

ly one Of self.interest.

Some months atterward l was trans

was there when the battle of Chancel-

that engagement a number OF soldiers
who had been wounded there were trans

The Behring Sea Commission.

London, July 6.-John w. Foster. the
United States seal commissioner has
arrived here from ST. Petersburg and
has paid a visit to United States Am
bassador Hay. Messrs. Foster and Hay
will cooperate in pressing the Beh-
ring sealing question upon the British
government To a representative of
the Associated Press, said Mr.. Foster,
the details of arrangement arrived at
with Russia could not be revealed at
present. but when disclosed they would
be entirely satisfactory. Mr.. Foster
had no doubt that Japan was equally
ready to cooperate with the United
States in the protection of seals.
Speaking of Hawaii, Mr.. Foster
said: w learned the sentiments of
Russia and France during u visit TO
st. Petersburg and Paris. They won't
object to annexation and regard it as
natural and inevitable. I do not be-
lieve Great Britain will object. The
European governments may not like it.
but they are reconciled to it."

The Governments Crop Bulletin.

Washington. July 6.-The weather
bureau in its report of crop conditions
for the week ended July 5th says:
In the states of the central valley,
lake region and New England. the week
ending July 9Th has been very favora-
BILE to crops. the high temperature be-
ing especially favorable to corn. In the
southern states the conditions hav
been less favorable, the excessive heat
and absence of rainfall proving inju-
rious TO most crops. On the Pacific
coast the week has been very favorable.
In the principal corn states of the en-
trail valleys corn has made rapid
growth. but in the southern states it is
suffering for rain, in some sections Sc
riOuSly. Excessive rains in Missouri
AVE retarded cultivation. and the crop
is still in Minnesota. In
Texas. while the late crop is suffering
from drought, the early planted is ma
tured and a good yield ssure
Cotton is needing rain over the great
er part of the cotton belt, more partic-
ularly the southern portions. The crop
is, however. generally clean and fruit
ing we'll. A marked improvement is
reported from Oklahoma and it is doing
we'll in Missouri, Tennessee. North Car
Dina and portions of Florida. In south
ern Texas bOlls are beginning to open.
The bulk of the winter wheat crop is
now harvested south of the fOrtieth
parallel-about the latitude of the GEN.
trail portions of OhiO, Indiana and IL
linois. Excessive rains have retarded
harvesting in Missouri, and caused
further damage to grain in shocks.
Good progress with harvesting has
been made in Nebraska and northern
Indiana, and harvesting will soon be-
gin in Michigan. The crop is maturing
on the north Pacific coast, and in Cali
fornia where harvesting is progressing
rapidly, the grain is shruken less than
was anticipated. Spring wheat has con-
tinued to make favorable progress, and
is nov heading we'll over the southern
portion of the spring wheat region. In
Oregon the best crop for years is prom
iSed.
