The Republican followers of Captain
Lamb may not be very numerous, but
they make up in enthusiasm what they
lack in numbers. AT recent meeting
to select delegates to the Lynchburg con-
vention the proceedings were very har-
monious. Resolutions were adopted con-
demning the action of the State commit
tee in deciding not to hold convention
and for attempting to remove Chairman
Lamb. Tie resolutions further condemn
the ring for usGrping the power of rec
ommending candidates for Office which be
longs to the defeated candidate tor Con-
gress from that district and declare that
the Waddell Brady AlIen-Agnew combi-
nation have aggregated to themselves the
power and exercised the privilege OF nam
ing persons for Office in each and every
district regardless of the rights of the
nominated or elected candidates for Con-
gress. 1t is evident that there is SER
ious split in the Republican ranks and
whatever action the Lynchburg ''conven-
tion may take it will not affect results in
the approaching election for State Off
GERS.

Advices from Honolulu are to the effect
that the japanese now arriving in Hawaii
are all apparently we'll drilled soldiers,
and it is said there are already on the
islands over one thousand men of that
class, among whom are four hundred vet
Grams of the japan China war. If this
be. true it is evident that the government
OF Japan is preparing to resist the annex
alton of Hawaii to the United States, and
as the Hawaiian senate has already rati-
fled the treaty looking to union with
this country 1t would be we'll Tor Uncle
Sam to watch his interests in that direc-
ton carefully. So far as Japan is con-
cerned, if her opposition to annexation
were carried to the point of armed re-
sistance it would avail her nothing, for
she would find fighting American soldiers
and sailors Il very different matter from
war with China.

THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.

Washington advices are to the effect
that the ratification of the annexation
treaty by Hawaii leaves the question in
such shape that it is believed there will
be no delay in anneXng the islands when
Congress meets. The little opposition
existing there has been growing less and
none Of those who have been active in adj
vocating the treaty have the least doubt of
Its prompt acceptance by the United
States Senate. This, it is said, will be
the first important question to be taken
up and disposed of when Congress reas-
sembles. The committee on foreign re-
lations will be ready to present it's report
and press the matter of annexation, while
the investigation in Hawaii now being
conducted in semi-offlcial way by Sen
ators Moran and others will. it Is believ-
ed, greatly strengthen the case.
The administration is heartily in favor
of annexation and as opposition on the
part of Republican Senators wiil.be in di-
rect opposition to the wishes of the Pres
ident 1t is not thought that those who do
not quite approve of the scheme will
make II very vigorous protest. AS some
of the strongest men among the Demo.
cratic Senators are in favor of annexation
they will not be able to make party
fight against the treaty, especially as
those who advocate the treaty are the
most familiar with international ques-
tions. The opposition, will therefore, if
it amounts to anything ut all. be iudivid-
ual and scattering. Senator Thurston,
who tried to secure the abrogation of the
reciprocity treaty with Hawaii because
Nebraska Is Il sugar-b beet growing State,
and other Republican Senators influenced
by similar motives will all support an
neXation.
AS to any expected trouble with Japan,
the action of the Hawaiian senate in -at.
flying the treaty in advance of action by
the United States practically dspnses of
any danger of a conflict with the first
named nation, as President Mckinley can
take immediate possession of the islands
should the japanese inaugurate IL revolt.
Furthermore the action OF the Hawaiian
senate places the matter of annexation
entirely in the hands of the Government
of the United States and removes nll
causes of delay which might arise from
the slow means of communication be-
tween the two countries interested. At
Washington the question Is now regarded
rs having passed beyond the realm of
doubt and it is believed there that annex
alton is ms certain as If the flag of the
Union already floated over this Hawaiian

States is about to enter upon career of
expansion which may not only embrace

that he was not sfraid of fighting, and
he was given plenty of it to do. He first

and for his services in that affair he
was awarded a gold medal He has al
go won medals for fighting tho Zulus,

ton OF 1889 he was so distinguished for
his daring and bravery that he was
given several medals and decorations.

It.now appears that Archduke Franz
Ferdinand, heir presumptive to the
throne of Austria Hungary did not
marry middle-class woman in the per-
son of Heir Krupp's housekeeper. That
lady bag written letter to the newspa
pers stating that there is no mystery con-
nected with her marriage, and that her
husband is neither an archduke nor n
swindler. 1t is evident from her letter
that the reports have been badly mixed.

After all the talk in Paris and other
European capitals, it does not appear
that United States Minister Woodford
has as yet presented anything like an
ultimatum to Spain: but nevertheless the
last named country as--well as the rest of
Europe seems to have arrived at the con.
clusion that the war in Cuba has been
carried TO point, so far as this govern
ment is concerned, where patience ceases
to be virtue, and that intervention is
not only possible but probab bic in the near
future, unless Spain demonstrates her
ability to crush the revolution before the
end of the present year. Some months
ago General Weyler announced that the
greater part of the Island had been "pac-
ified,' but since then the revolutinnists
have shown greater strength than ever
before, and as it is plain that the revolu-
fion cannot be crushed out by the most

Deputy Comptroller of the Currency
Coffin says the movement of the cotton
crop in the South has advanced the rate
of interest among the banks of New
York, and says If any plan could be de-
vised by which the Southern banks could
issue additional notes equal to one fourth
of the capital stock during the cotton
movement season it would be God send
to that section, as it would save most of
the interest now paid on borrowed money
From this he infers that the South has a
more vital interest in AN elastic and safe
currency than any other section of the
United States, and he might shave added
that this is one of the reasons why this
section is n unit for the free coinage of
silver.
