After the Inauguration the new Gov
ernor held an informal reception in the
council chamber and his private room.
The rooms were filled with friends, per-
sonal and official, who took the oppor-
tunity to grasp his hand and wish him
successful administration. The rooms
were beautifully decorated with flowers
and plants. A number of large and
elaborate bouquets were sent to the
Governor which were massed on the
table in his private room. one OF the
most noticeable was from the citizens
of Pittsfield, his native town. Another
was from friends in Bath.

A Fair Day With Large Crowds Notable
inaugural Address.

Thursday was 1.-The gala day of the
year at the Capitol The crowd was
the biggest yet, and there was a holi-
day air over everything The tempera-
ture was just right the skies were
clearest blue, and the proud flag over
the cupola never fioated more proudly.
The outgoing of one Governor and set
of State officials and the incoming of
another is an important occasion, and
it is fitting that there should be dis
play and pomp and proclamation.
f AT an early hour the Capitol was
filled, and long before the hour of in
auguration the House was crowded
One gallery was filed with ladies and
chairs We're placed for them in all the
aisles. 1t was about II o'clock when
the two branches, after the usual rou
tine and messenger back and forth, met
in joint convention and the coming of
Governor-elect Powers was proclaimed.
The members remained standing while
President Day administered the two
oaths of office which Mr.. Powers re-
peated slowly and distinctly. Then
Secretary of State Fessenden made the
usual formal proclamation declaring
Llewellyn Powers Governor and COM
manding all officials and citizens of
Maine to obey him. The whole cere-
mony was impressively performed.
The newly made Governor read his ad-

SENATE AT WORK
Arbitration Treaty will Now Be
Considered.
PROSPECT OF A LONG DEBATE
Fate of the Tariff Bill is
Uncertain.
Democrats Unwilling to Let it Be
Reported Without an
Inspection

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The senate
will resume business in earnest Mon
day, and the week bids fair to be one
of important results. According to
agreement, vote will be taken Oh the
arbitration treaty on Wednesday. 1t is
also quite probable that the committee
vacancies will be filled, and that the
tariff bill will be reported to the senate.
Morgan probably will call up his Gu
ban resolution, the sundry civil appro-
priation bill may be passed, and Hoar
has given notice that he will move to
have the committee on rules discharg-
ed from the further consideration of
his amendments to the rules for the
limitation of debate.
There is great uncertainty as to the
fate OF the treaty, and it now looks as
if the margin would not exceed two or
three votes, whatever the result may
be. There are a few entertained votes
which decide the result. A canvass
made yesterday shows forty votes GER
tain for the treaty and twenty-five GER
tain against it. There will be consider
able sparring over the treaty before
the vote is taken, but a prolonged de-
bate is not expected.
The consideration of the sundry civil
appropriation bill has been postponed
until Allison, who will have charge of
it in the senate, will be present.
If Hoar fulfills his promise to bring
up the question of the amendment to
the rules, his motion will be stubborn
ly resisted by the Democrats. Those of
them who favor the changes proposed
Will not assent to them on the eve of
the tariff fight.
The new senator from Kentucky, w.
]. Deboe, probably will be sworn to-
morrow.
The house programme contemplates
adjOurnments for the three days from
Monday to Wednesday. Should the
conference report on the Indian appro-
priation bill reach the house, it will be
considered. a suggestion to take action
on the bankruptcy bill passed by the
senate is being thought over, and may
reach some definite shape before the
close of the week.

CONTINUES VERY HIGH.

At st. Louis the River Reaches so 91
-RaiIroad Tracks Submerged.
ST. LOUIS, May 2.-The continued
high water has excited a great deal
of interest, as was evinced by the enor-
nous crowds that f1ocked to the river
front today. The river continues to
rise, marking 800 feet in the morning
and 1895 feet at 4 o'clock p. m. At a
number of places along the levee the
railroad tracks were under water. The
Terminal association, whose tracks are
partly under water, expresses no I'M
easiness. One of the officials stated that
it would take five feet of water before
all their river tracks would be sub
merged, and that they had engines
which would work in three feet of wa
ter. therefore it would take rise of
eight feet beyond the present stage
before the company would be incon-
VeQienced

DingIey Rin VIII Not Go to FL
nance Committee.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE tariff
bill, as amended, will not be given to
the finance committee. A meeting of
the committee, as originally in
tended, will not be held. The reason
given for this is the absence of Senator
Platt, of Connecticut, member of the
subcommittee on tariff. Some ques-
tions have arisen in the past few days,
concerning which it is necessary to
consult the Connecticut senator, and
he has found it impossible to reach the
city until tomorrow afternoon, too late
for the meeting. A meeting will prob
ably be held Tuesday.
The Republican members in the
meantime continue their efforts to have
the Democrats fix a time for reporting
the bill. The latter. however, persist
in declaring that they will enter upon
no agreement on this point until they
shall see the bill and have an opportu-
nifty to examine it.
The Republican subcommittee spent
the entire day working on the bill

Future of the Islands Belongs to
Intelligence OF Americans
and Europeans.

when the late editor of the Argo-
naut was living, he was known as a
powerful advocate of the annexation
of Hawaii to the United States, and
took every opportunity to express his
views in the columns of his paper in
unmistakable language. After his
death the Argonaut passed into the
hands of editors who take a foreign
view of the annexation question, and
vigorously oppose it,. Mr.. Pixley view
ed the subject with the clear foresight
of an American statesman, who looks to
the future, when this group of Islands
will become one of the most important
commercial and naval strategic out
posts in the Pacific Ocean. The follow
ing is a portion of one of his ringing
editorials, published when the renewal
of the treaty was being debated in the
Senate. His words have a clear and
unmistakable ring, full of prophetic
force and truth, that we'll illustrate the
keenness of his vision and the sledge-
hammer force of his arguments.-H
