publics Presented to the President.

Washington, Nov. is. - Secretary
Sherman, Minister Romero of Mexico,
and Minister Merou of 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 d.
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 ''such vast practical in.-
portance to the commerce OF our couii-
try, as to be we'll worthy that we
SHOULD come in a body to present it to
you. Upon looking through its pages
you will discern it's 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

from Joseph p. Smith, director of the
bureau, in which he stated the objects
Of the publication. 1t is q commercial

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 salts
fled 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
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 cloudless sky. In
particular he thinks it will prove adj
vantageous in determining the approach
OF local storms.

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


New York, Nov. IA dispatch to
the World from Honolulu, dated Octo-
Der 80, says: Sanford B. Dole, presi.
dent of the provisional republic of Ha-
waii, and Chief Justice Judd are anxi-
Gus to have the Hawaiian annexation
treaty adopted as soon as possible. Said
President Dole to the correspondent:
"The people will never again submit
to monarchy. In fact, there is no
one 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 Asiatlc pop
ulation is fast increasing in numbers,
it is serious question If they are left
alone whether the republic could sur
vive 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
a 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-
sponsibilty 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 sem
sation among the natives, who are still
OppOSed to annexation.

Our Seacoast Defenses.

Washington, Nov. Is. - Secretary
Alger has approved the estimates ior
the coast -defense work submitted ny
General Miles, and they Will be SUP
mitted TO Chairman Cannon, OF the
house committee on appropriations
some days before the opening OF tIe
session. In accordance with law, the
expenditures of the different seaports
are itemized, but the secretary Will
ask for authority to spend the money IN

In his report to the secretary, Cen
eral Miles makes no reference to pos
sible complications with Spain, but
says:
"Although the general desire OF our
people is to maintain condition OF
peace with all nations, and the policy
of the government is one OF good VIII
and peaceful relations with all others,
vet nothing could be more injurious
than to settle in a condition OF inse-
curity and permit the lives OF millions
and the accumulated wealth of many
generations to be destroyed or endanger'
ed by any foreign power with which
we are liable to come in contact, and
the general plan for defense which has
been adopted by the government should
be steadily pursued until the nation is
in the condition of security and safety
which due regard for self-preservatlon
would demand"

RELIEF FOR WHAlERS.
A Reindeer Train will Go Overland to
Point Barrow.

Washington, Nov. II. - Secretary
Alger has requested the secretary OF the
interior to instruct Alaskan officials to
gather about 500 head of reindeer from
the government herds for use of an ex-
petition 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 20 days
thereafter will reach some point on the
northern sound, where a 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.
