minor coins of base metals, such as
pennies and rsickels, are made at the
PHILADELPHIA mint, and that nearly 100,-
900. 900 pennies are coined there every
wear. This large number is occasioned
by the fact that thousands of pennies
are lost annually, and the government
has some difficulty in maintaining a
supply. The profit of the government
on their manufacture is large: The
blanks for making them are purchased
for 81 a thousand from a Cincinnati
firm that produces them by contract.
Blanks for nickels are obtained in the
same way, costing Uncle Sam only a
cent and a half apiece. Gold is coined
in Philadelphia and San Francisco.
Not enough of it comes into the mint
at New Orleans to make the coinage

only coins of the United States which

the indications point to a substantial

ness throughout the South. The manu-
facturers in this city, and in fact all
over the South, are busy, with plenty
Of orders ahead. The Southern textile
mills are running full time, the South

and the reflection of this condition is
now being felt in mercantile circles.
The Southern farmers as rule owe

from one end of the country to the

THE HAWAiIAR TREATY.
Caucus of Republican Members To- Dny
WiH Probably Determine the Sem
dfe'S Action

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 1.-THE
Senate's action upon the reciprocity
treaty with Hawaii will probably be deter
mined at caucus of Repub blican Senators
which has been called for tomorrow.
Ever since the Finance Committee re-
ported its substitute for the Dingiey bill
containing no reference to the treaty the
mem bers have been subject to constantly
increasing pressure from friends of the
treaty and those who want it abrogated
Pressure has been brought upon the COM
mittee to recommend the abrogation of
the treaty, and if not that to request the
President 10 negotiate modification of
it, with the proviso that if this be not
done in year then notice of terminstl on
be given.
Friends of the treaty, who are also
friends of Hawaii aud generally known as
favoring annexation, want nothing said
in the bill about abrogation. They will
be satisfied 10 have a provision inserted
asking The President to negotiate a modi-
fication of the treaty but as TO abrogation
they say that IN view of the great pro pa
bility OF an early consideration of the
question of annexation there is no good
reason for disturbing commercial rela-
tions which in all probability Will be re-
newed under permanent arrangement.
Just what the caucus will do it is i'm

Causes Them TO Surrender thu
Hoover Murderers.

MILES CITY, MoNT., June 11.-Sheriff
Gibb and Stock Inspector Smith arrived
tonight with Yellow Hair and Sam Crow,
the Cheyenne Indians implicated in the
Hoover murder. On Wednesday evening
Agent StOuch called the Indians all in
and the arrests were made by the Sheriff,
no resistance being offered. Chief White
Bull is still at liberty, but can be arrested
at any time, having expressed himself as
willing TO appear in court. The Sheriff
did not think it advisable TO arrest him
until the feeling had subsidized. Agent
Stouch, who sent dispatch to the War
Department to the effect that he feared
to make arrests because of the probable
consequences, received the following re-
ply:
"Make arrests and meet the conse-
quences."
This decided action OF the War Depart.
ment settled all the trouble between the
Indians, the white men and the military
authorities. AS soon as the Indians
learned that orders from Washington had
been received to arrest them they realized
that it was useless 10 put up fight, and
nc further trouble is now anticipated.

Mr.. Delmas objected to this on the
ground that If such a letter existed IL

Judge Slack was looking somewhat wor-
ried. He said he had already ruled dur

and he would have to stit ka7 1t. de SAID,
however, that lie would tlnu time TO study

Mrs. Craven's reply was that she had
no recollection of even writing such let
ter. She did, however, remember having
asked Judge Aiken to go to her attorneys
and make a statement as to what he knew,
and that he did so.
From his capacious inside pocket Mr..
Wheeler produced a typewriter paper,
whick is claimed 10 be form of contract
between Jud e Aiken and Mrs. Craven,
which differs in its wording from the one
she produced In court ana which had not
been signed b. either of the contracting
parties. 1 his was an effort to show that
Mrs. Craven interlined some provisions in
the contract which Aitken would not &C
ceDt.
Mrs. Craven examined the paper and
said she might have seen it and she might
not. Some OF the pencil inteIlineations,
she said, looked like her handwriting, but
she would not swear that they were.
Being asked why she had not continued
70 retain Aitken on her staff of attorneys,
Mrs. Craven said it was because she found
out that he had been indicted for felony,
and, besides, she did not care for him. An
other reason was that her other attorneys
objected to such man.
Mr. Wheeler produced what purported
to be letter from Aiken TO Mrs. Craven,
IN which he wrote that he would not ac-
cent her terms and could not testify for
her. An examination of this document
showed that IT was a supposed copy of a
letter, and was IN reality written by a
law clerk. The attorneys were discussing
it when court adjourned until Monday.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 11.-Sev-

HE CALL said that the administration
favored the annexation of Hawaii. The
selection OF Harold NJ. Sewall of Maine as
United States Minister to HAWAII was at
that time announced exclusively in The

this meant that the administration would
favor annexation of the islands.
There is highest authority for the state
ment that Presiden. McKinley's admins
tration has given serious consideration to
the subject. Friends OF the annexation plan
understand that the main points in q con-
vention or treaty for annexation of the
new island republic are under discussion.
Ihes" embrace the cesSion OF Hawaii to
the United States as territory, in return
for the protection OF the United States
Government, including all her ports and
crown lands; the assumption by the
United States Government of the debt of
new republic to a limited sum. probably

aThis undesirable part of the Hawaiian
population will not be permitted under
the plan OF annexation now being con-
sidered to pass from Hawaii into any
other territory of the United States.
The points outlined above by friend of
annexation have been submitted to the

consideration for some time. There are
