Rapid City, June 16.-Reports from
Che general round up which has been
in progress for some time on the Belle
Fonrche range, are very encouraging to
the cattlemen. Contrary to the expec-
tation of nearly all there a. not been
nearly the loss in cattle that was report
ed during the winter. AS a rule, the cat
tie are looking fine, having survived the
severe winter far beyond expectation.
The range Is reported to be In excellent
condition, the recent rains having been
general all over the country. All the
cattle have been brought from the
south his season that will be owing to
the increased demand by buyers in Kan
Ras and Nebraska and a consequently
higher price. 1t Is reported that prices
for young stock are about doubled this
season over those Of two years ago.
Several large cattle owners have begun
to brand their W calves instead of
shipping them from the range as usual.
and as a result of the higher prices IN
the south more home cattle will be
raised. Heretofore cattlemen have not
considered it profitable to raise calves,
but instead have shipped In young stock
from the south and have fed them for a
season on their ranges. The first ship
ments will be made from Belle Fourche
and Whitewood about August IA.

HAWAII is TO BE ANNEXED
Treaty Is Fully Prepared and VIII
BE sent TO the Senate

Washington, June 15.-The treaty for
the annexation of the Hawaiian islands
to the United States will be sent to the
senate soon after the return of the pres.
ldent unless the plans are altered. All
the details are fully agreed on and the
treaty was written before the president
went south. The treaty Is on the same
general lines as hat negotiated during
the administration of Harrison and
withdrawn by Cleveland. 1t provides
tor annexation without the exaction OF
conditions by Hawalians as to the form

leaving that question entirely to the
United States. The latter will assume
the Hawaiian debt. but will get all the
Hawaiian crown lands and other pos
sessions.
several senator's have received def
mite information concerning the exist
ence of the treaty and are well ac-
quainted with the terms, though they
refuse to discuss the matter, having re-
ceived the information in confidence.
The knowledge of the existence of the
treaty has been communicated to the
members of the committee on foreign
relations. ais to the members of the
finance committee. In the republican
%caucuses the subject of the treaty has
been limited at, but in a rather vague
manner Senators have asserted that
there is In progress negotiations looking
to annexation, but would not aver they
knew that O treaty had been drawn,
nor would they give any
that 1t woul be sent to the senate. In
private conversation with other sena-
tors, however, they gave Information
definite enough to satisfy those
with whom they talked that the
treaty would not only be sent
in, but that 1t was now already drawn
and only awaiting the signatures of the
officers of the two governments to COM
plete 1t. 1t is known the approval of
the committee on foreign relations is
assured as eight members of the COM
mittee approved its terms. This will
enable the committee to speedily report
the treaty to the senate 50 1t may be ia
ken UP Immediately after the tariff
bill is disposed OF. The senate has been
canvassed to a certain extent by
tors favoring annexation n while
there are some senator's noncomlnital
the supporters of the proposition say
they believe they can count upon a two
thirds vote necessary to insure ratifl-
cation. The especial friends OF the pres
fdent about the enate say the treaty
has been made in accordance with his
views and that it would have been sent
In some time ago but for his eXactions
as to details.
