New York Wants the Grant Relics.

New York, Sept. ia proposition
has been made to obtain from the fed
eral government the collection Of Grant
relics presented to the National mu.
scum by Mrs. Grant, and deposit them
in the large room in the northeast cor
ner OF the mausoleum. Architect John
II. Duncan intended the room for
Grant relics, but everything which
would appeal to visitors as having been
owned by the general at some time in
his career is in the National museum
at Washington.
Before Genearl Porter sailed for
France Mr.. Duncan discussed with him
the possibility Of the government relin-
gushing the mementos, but nothing
has been done.
Mr.. Duncan said:
1T was ordered to hold a meeting
recently, but there are not enough
members in town to hold it. OF course
the work is practically completed. 1t
would be a good thing to have the
mementos as Riverside, but / know OF
nothing at this time to warrant the
hope that they will be brought here. !"

hAWAiIS PART DONE.
Annexation Treaty Probably Ratified
at Honolulu.

New York. Sept. IA special to
the Herald from Washington says: The
senate II the national legislature Of the
republic OF Hawaii has by this time
ratified the treaty Of annexation Of the
Hawaiian islands 70 the United States.
This assertion WAS made TO your corre-
Sponient by Mr. Lorin NJ Thurston,
charge i aifaires 70 the United States.
NJ. Thurston said that the senate of
the Hawaiian legislature had been
called to assemble on Sep,em Der 5, and
tina, it Is unanimous for annexation.
He mas no doubt that it has ratified the
convention without dissenting vote.
Both the senate and house of the
Hawaiian legislature are pledged 10 an
nexaton. according TO Mr.. Thurston.
just before the adjournment OF the two
houses last year. joint resolution was
adopted declaring it to be the sense Of
the legislature that the interests OF Ha-
wall demanded her annexation to the
United States. This resolution was
adopted unanimously. AS the COM
plexion OF the senate and house has not
changed since the adoption Of the reso-
luton, Mr.. Thurston has no doubt that,
50 far as Hawaii is concerned, all the
steps possible have been taken.
1t is believed in administration cir
cles that the effect Of the ratification Of
the treaty by the Hawaiian senate
will be to Influence some of the MEM
b-.rs Of the United States senate now
in the doubtful column 10 vote for the
convention next session. All that is
now necessary is the approval OF that
body. and it is not believed that many
members will be willing to shoulder
the responsibility OF defeating annexa-
titon and thus throw Hawaii into the
hands Of Japan.
The authorities would naturally be
pleased to have the controversy pend
ing between Hawaii and japan settled.
because such settlement would tend to
remove any objection which might be
entertained by senators 10 bring into
the United states nation which has
diplomatic differences with any cOun-
try. 1t is their opinion, however, that
the matter will not be aijudi ,ated
until after annexation i. accomplished.

o'clock this morning Q slide occurred at
the elf near the foot Of Pacific avenue.
directly west Of the Crescent Creamery
building. carrying tons Of mud. brush and
rocks down TO the level below.
The descent of this mass OF earth was
accompanied by q noise that could be
he9Fd for several blocks. and attracted
. large number Of people to the scene.
The greater portion of the avalanche
lodged directly on the car tracks. leading
to the bunkers, forming a miniature
mountain. which prevents the passage OF
cars and which win require considerable
work to remove.
Part Of the looseaed earth passed over
the coal bunker tracks and the big stone
retaining wall alongside. lodging on the
sidetracks below, directly back Of the
creamery building. Some OF tho rocks
and brush in the descending mass struck
the building. Men inside heard the noise
Of the slide. and seeing what was COM
Ing rushed outside. Fortunately no enc
was injured, and an hour after the oc-
currence force Of men was set to work
clearing away the debris.
The Tacoma railways track leading TO
the foot of Pacific avenue also suffered
by slide, and cars have today been run
near the wharfs.
The heavy rains Of the past few weeks
caused the slides. and IL the fall Of water
continues further and more serious
trouble of like nature is rot improbable.
This afternoon the face OF the entire cliff
was marked here and there with little
streams OF water which may at any mo-
ment cause hundreds of tons of earth and
rock to be precipitated 70 the avenue be-
