MUCH TALk0F ANNEXATION.
PHILADELPHIA INCIDENT AT THE
NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Move to Mean that President Mckinley
Contemplates Early Action as Re-
gard the Sending of Treaty.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-There has
not been so much talk of Hawaiian an
neXation in many months as has
grown from the orders to the flagship
Philadelphia to proceed to Honolulu.
Despite the denial of Secretary Long
that there is no significance in the
journey to the State Department that
no orders were sent to Admiral
Beardslee in connection with is visit
and of the japanese as well as the Ea-
waiian legations that there is no pros
pect of trouble on the island there is
much discussion as to the meaning OF
the transfer of the flagship of the Pa
citic station to the islands at this
time, when the Marion. which is to be
relieved, has been at Honolulu such a
short time.
1t is understood that the Marion is
to be ordered to San Francisco for re-
pairs at once, while the Philadelphia
will continue at the islands until she
can be relieved by first-class vessel.
that President Mckinley contemplates
early action as regards the sending of
Il treaty to the Senate. That they
overate the Importance of the affair
is shown tonight by the statement of
man close to the Executive, who
says that nothing will be done in tn,
matter until after the passage of the
tariff bill. Hawaiian annexationists
now here, while they are still at work
creating, or endeavoring to create, SEN
timent favorable to a protectorate over
the islands, are not pressing the mat
ter upon the Executive, as they rea,-
ize he is using every energy to secure
an early consideration of the tariff
bill
When this tariff legislation is out
of the way active work will be begun
in every possible branch to secure the
introduction of joint resolution pro-
viding closer political relations on
lines laid down at recent annexation
meeting in Hawaii. At the Japanese
Legations it is said tonight that shere
will be no trouble between Hawaiians
and the japanese now there, as the
latter are fully protected by the treaty
in existence. The japanese Govern
men, it is said, endeavors to discour-
age emigration, and prevent it unless
the emigrant is bound for country
where his rights are specifically guar
anteed by treaty. This is the case,
the officials say, in the Sandwich is
lands, and there is no reason to fear
that the Japanese will have any neces-
sity to struggle for their rights.
In the case of the Marion being
ordered to San Francisco, Navy De-
partment officials say the enlistment
time of many of her men and the sea
duty term of a number of the officers
have expired, and it will cost less to
move the cruiser to San Francisco and
refill her complement than it would to
pay the passage of officers and seamen
whose terms have expired and of those
to take their places.

Flo, to KIN the French President.

A-hus W AAlhi tno tchSh
A clumsy attempt was made on Sun.
day to kill President Faure of France.
The president was on. his way to
Long Champs to witness a horse race
aud while his carriage was passing a
thicket near La Cascade restaurant, in
the Bots de Boulogne, bomb, which
subsequently, proved to be a piece OF
tubing about six inches in diameter,
with thickness of half an inch, charg-
ed with gunpowder and swan shot, ex-
ploded. No one was injured by the
explosion. A man in the crowd, sus
pected Of being the prime mover, was
arrested. He gave his name as Gallet,
and made only the briefest replies to
questions put to him by the police.
The bomb was clumsly made at
fair, to which fuse was attached, and
the fuse was probably lighted by pa
per fixed in the end stick as soon as
the head of the procession came into
view. The presumption is that as
soon as the fuse was lighted the cul-
prit fled, and in any case the bomb
could not have done much harm.
In the thicket where the police found
the remnants of the bomb they found
also a pistol upon which were engrav-
ed the words snort a Felix Faure,"
and the names Alsace. Lorraine and
Cologne. Near the pistol Was small
dagger bearing similar threatening
inscription, and a few feet away the
police found newspaper with car
toon grossly insulting to the president.
This contained an offensive inscription
limiting at the execution of M. Faure.

The University of Vermont base
ball team, who have been travelling
the country quite extensively, are
earning something of reputation if
not as base ball players in other d.
rections. The team went to New
Haven, Conn, June the 9th to play
the Yale. The rain prevented the
ball game but, unfortunately, dld not,
it is alleged, prevent the party or
some member of it, from filling up a
satcher with silver ware from the ho-
tel Majestic and from the Union de-
pot restaurant. The police recover
ed the silver and as no one would
own the satchel no arrests were made.

for trial by jury. The jury found
him guilty of 10 first offenses. He
was sentenced to pay fine of $3.50

Unwarranted Government Interference
Prevents Easy Transition From One Sub.
stance to Another.
Money is simply commodity that is
generally recognized as universal
equivalent, and its degree of goodness
or efficiency consists in the unanimity of
the recognition of the fitness of the com
modify used as money to perform tho
essential functions of money. Many
commodities have been used rs money,
and they have remained in use as long
as they met the essential requirements
of money among the people where used,
or until some other commodity appear
ed the fitness of which commended it.
self to the intelligence as being superior
to the commodity then being used.
AS people have advanced in discrim-
mating intelligence they have discard
ed inferior commodities and adopted in
place thereof something that was supe-
rior These changes kept taking place
until finally gold and silver became the
commodities that were recognized by
the people of most countries as being
the best for use as money. Sociological
transition is constant. Change is the
natural order of things, and changes
come about naturally and arc therefore
effected easily, if the natural process is
allowed to go on undisturbed. Trou-
blous friction ensues only when there is
obstructive governmental interference
to delay or defeat the natural order of
things.
In our own day the stagecoach has
been supplanted by the steam railroad,
and stagecoaches have practically be-
come a thing of the past The tallow
dip was succeeded by lamps filled with
burning fluid or oil, and lamps by illu-
minating gas, and gas by electricity.
These and many other changes were ac-
complished with no serious disturbance
whatever, and so it would be with COM
modities used as money in the absence
of governmental obstruction. There
would be no threatening money ques-
tion in this country today, endaugering
the continuity and perpetuity of all
business activity, if the United States
was not engaged in the banking bust
ness.
Among civilized people the days of
usefulness of silver as money, except in
subsidiary forms, are numbered, and
silver is going out of use as surely as
have the stagecoach and the tallow dip,
and for exactly the same reason-civi-
lization has outgrown the conditions
which necessitated its use. No money
has ever come into use at the behest of
| government or because of statutory en-
actments, but solely because of rccog-
nized ability to perform the functions
of money. Austin W. Wright i'll Sound
