ANNEXATION HER HOPE.
Hawaii Anxious to Have the Pending
Treaty Adopted.

New York, Nov. IA dispatch to
the World from Honolulu, dated Octo-
ber 2S, says: Sanford B. Dole, presi-
dent of the provisional republic of Ha-
waii, and Chief Justice Judd are anxi-
ous to have the Hawaiian annexation
treaty adopted as soon as possible. Said
President Dole to the correspondent: !
'sThe people will never again submit
to monarchy. In fact, there is no
Dne sufficiently enjoying the confidence
Of the people of the islands to conduct
the affairs of state under monarchy" !"
"Why do they not desire to continue
as an independent republic?" he was
asked.
"As- the islands are SO far away from
other countries, and as the Asiatic pop
ulation is fast increasing in numbers,
it is a serious question if they are left
alone whether the republic could sur.
rvive with the willing consent of the
foreigners. Besides, if the United
States has constantly to protect. the
islands under the government at pres
ent, why should not the United States
take them altogether?
"This is great country for COM
merce. 1t is the natural land for
American ownership. To all intents
and purposes it is an American colony,
anyway, SO far as business, capital and
industry is concerned, and it should be
part of the body polite of the United
States"
Chief Justice Judd said in an inter-
view: - =
During the reign of King Kalakaua
there were two cabinets, so dissatisfied
was the state of the kingdom. The only
branch of the government that was not
disturbed was the judiciary. The res
toration of the monarchy is an impossi-
bility. There is no material to make
monarch of.
''Nor can we hope to maintain a re-
public independently. We must
look to the United States. We have
come to the turning point. and we
must either become Asiatic or Anglo
Saxon; we are within the zone of
American influence, and to assume re-
sponsibility for US, they ought to have
something to say about how our affairs
+ are directed.
The news that has reached here from
San, Francisco that Samuel Parker, a
prominent native leader, and heretofore
strong royalist, has declared in favor
of annexation, has created quite a SEN
sation among the natives, who are still
opposed to annexation.

Commercial Directory of American Re-
publics Presented to the President.
Washington, Nov. 15. Secretary
Sherman, Minister Romero of Mexico,
and Minister Merouof Argentine, MEM
bers of the executive committee of the
bureau of American republics, were at
the White House today and presented
the first volumn of the commercial di-
rectory of the American republics to
President Mckinley. There was con-
siderable formality about the matter,
the presentation being made in the blue
parlor. Secretary Sherman presented
the volume, saying the work was re-
garded as of s'such vast practical inns
portance to the commerce of our coun-
try, as to be we'll worthy that we
should come in body to present it to
you. Upon looking through its pages
you will discern its far reaching value
as factor in disseminating general in
formation respecting the natural re-
sources, the peculiar commercial activi-
ties, the varying occupations, the in
dustries and the latent capabilities of
the countries of the Western hemis-
phere."
President Mckinley made formal
response, expressing his interest in the
work of the bureau and the hope that
the publication would lead to a closer
commercial relation between the repub-
lies Of America. With the volume was
transmitted letter to the president
from Joseph P. SImth, director of the
bureau, in which he stated the objects
of the publication. 1t is a commercial
cyclopedia of the Western hemisphere,
intended to furnish information for the
benefit of merchants and agriculturists.
President Mckinley has been congratu-
lated from time to time during the
progress of the work, and has shown
great interest in it.

: A Valuable Discovery

New York, Nov. 17.-William A.
Eddy, the kite experimenter of Bay
onne, N. j., made an interesting ex-
pertinent Saturday night. He is satis-
fed that by means of observations
taken at various attitudes, indications
of approaching thunder storms and
other meteorological data can be Sc
cured. About 200 feet below his kites
thermometer was hung, and near it
a collector of electric sparks. The re-
suits obtained Saturday night led Mr..
Eddy to believe that the electric con-
dition of the air shown by the varying
height of the collector when the first
spark is drawn may reveal the approach
of storms in even a cloudless sky. In
particular he thinks it will prove ad-
vantageous in determining the approach
of local storms,

A Reindeer Train Will Go Overland to
- Point Barrow.
Washington, Nov. ~ Secretary
Alger has requested the secretary of the
interior. to instruct Alaskan officials to
gather about 80O.head of reindeer from
the government herds for use of an ex-
pedition for the relief of the icebound
whalers in the Arctic.
- 1t is expected that the Bear, which
is now at Seattle, will be ready to sail
in about 10 days, and within 30 days
thereafter will reach some point on the
northern sound, where large party
will be engaged for the trip overland to
Point Barrow.
The herd of reindeer which will be
killed for food, if needed, will be driven
overland, and it is confidently expect
ed that the herd will reach Point Bar
row and the imprisoned whalers before
the middle of February.
: The country through which the herd
will be driven is said to abound with
moss, upon which the herd will feed.
1t is said the scheme for the relief of
the whalers is perfectly feasible and
will be attended with little danger.
No apprehension is felt regarding the
outcome of the enterprise.

ly injured Samuel Masher, the museum
watchman, and crushed to death S
valuable trick pony. The pony was
tied to feed box alongside the ana
conda's cage. Masher saw the reptile
had worked one of the boards of its cage
loose and had stretched out short dis
tance. He pushed the board to, believ-
ing the anaconda would pull within its
cage again. Instead, it wriggled out
and wrapped itself several times about
Masher. The latter screamed for help,
and the pony, frightened by the big
reptile. began jumping about. This
saved Masher's life, for the reptile un-
wound himself from him and COM
pletely encircled the pony. Masher
fell to the floor unconscious. When q
number of employees reached the scene,
the snake began to unwind itself, and
appeared to be getting ready for the
fight. The men kept aloof until lasso
was obtained and the snake finally
made secure. Several of Masher's ribs
were broken, and he was taken to a

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
GOfice of Downing, Hopkins & Co., Chicago
Board of Trade Brokers, 711-714 Chamber of Conn
merce Building, Portland, Oregon.l

The action of the market has been
great disappointment to the bulls, and
there is growing feeling that with
favorable conditions in the winter
wheat sections for the next two weeks,
that wheat possibly may sag still lower.
The news has been rather bearish in
many respects, the enormous receipts
(much of which is low grade), the
heavy rains in the winter wheat Sec
tions in the past week, the improved
conditions in the Argentine, and the
smaller demand for flour has caused a
liquidating movement to set in that has
carried May wheat down to lower
price than it has seen for long time.
Claims are made that the caller esti-
mates of Europe's import requirements
of breadstuffs are now thought to have
been somewhat too high. In addition,
the demand has been, SO far, easily
met, causing together a shade of indif.
ference on the part of purchasers. In
all estimates of the future, much is
made of what may be expected of the
crops of the Argentine and of the Au-
stralian colonies. Too many perhaps,
forgot that while harvesting begins in
about month, the products of the
harvest do not appear, to any great ex-
tent, before April -or May. The large
shipments from Russia and America
yet stifie any undue efforts on the part
of buyers in Western Europe to secure
larger shipments at present, especially
as the quantity on passage is about
double the amount SO found at the be-
ginning of our crop season. 1t is not
surprising, in view of these conditions
that the markets have occasions of re-
lapse. But later, when the two prin-
cipal sources of supply begin to show
actual exhaustion, as they may be ex-
pected to, at the rapid rate of shipping,
an upward turn in affairs is likely to
e.asue. 1t should be. no disappointment
to those who habitually understate the
resources of exporters to find relapse in
prices when the facts showing it are
developed. Still there need be no great
apprehension Of the future for the sup.
ply is none too great for the natural
wants of the world.

their rooms and dragging them from
their beds in their night-robes to the
nearby road, where they were terribly
whipped with cat-o'-nine-tails, which

ing them, they gave the girls coat of
tar and feathers and took them back to
the house, where they were found un-
conscious this morning.
