resources. If we want Navy, we can
get one. If a war should come in which
Italy, for instance, was not concerned
we could buy the whole Italian Navy
in "a hours. There will be no larger
Naval appropriations coincident with
the ratifcations of the Hawaiian
treaty, but when we want a navy we
can get it
The ultimate ratification of the
treaty for the annexation of Hawaii
is regarded as so certain, nOtwith-
standing the talk of the handful of
Democratic Senators who are opposed
to it, that no effort will be made to
push it to a vote at this session of
Congress. The President is perfectly
satisfied to have it 90 over to the regu-
lar session, as he regards the sending
of the treaty to the Senate as all that
was necessary to notify the world of
our intention to annex the island
Senator Hanna has grown very tired
Of denying the story originated by
some one in the employ of New Y orll
paper, that the wages Of miners in his
employ, in Pennsylvania, had been
cut to the lowest price ever paid in the
Pittsburg district-54 cents a ton
Speaking of the sub observation-disclosures
said: There has been reduction Of
wages, but not those Of the men en-
pIoyed by any Of the companies in
which | am interested. | was asked
to join and refused to do SO. My men
are still receiving so cents ton" Of
course it would be expecting entirely
too much to ask that this very positive
denial should operate to keep the ORR
ginal lie out Of Democratic papers. x
Senator Hanna and several mem
bers of the Ohio delegation in the
House have gone home to attend the
state convention. The story that
Senator Foraker remained in Wash
iDgton because he WAS opposed to
Senator Hanna was, of course, of Dem
ocratic origin. Senator Foraker when
asked about it, said there wasn't the
slightest foundation for such a yarn,
as he is heartily in favor Of Senator
Hanna's election. and certain that it
will be accomplished. He remained
il Washington rs The result of an
agreement with Senator Hanna, it be
ing thought best that one of them
should be constantly in his seat in the
Senate while the tariff bill is under
consideration.
General Stewart l.. Woodford the
new L. S. Minister to Spain, has many
admirers among the Republicans who
the National convention,
which nominated Hayes and Wheeler.
After Hayes was nominated, General
Wheeler heard that the Indiana dele
cation had decided to support him
for the vice presidency. According
to Col. w, Il. Holloway, who was there
and who is now in Washington, this
is what Gen. Woodford said to his In
diana friends: NO, no, gentlemen;
don't think of that. VIM. A. Wheeler
is Il stronger man in the state of New
\ ork than | am, and ! beg that you
will give him Indiana's thirty votes.
What we need and must have to elect
Gov. Hayes, is New York's electoral
vote. Don't consider me for one me-
ment, but vote for my friend, Wheeler
and assist us to carry the Empire
state for the nominees of this conven-
ton" The result is history.
While the Republicans enjoyed the
accusations and counter accusations
hurled ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS against
each other, they would have much
preferred that the time so wasted had
been put in on the tariff bill. Every
body knows how wide apart the Dem
Ocratic Senators are on the tariff and
many other things, but the country in
impatiently waiting for the tariff bill
to become law.
