THAT HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Senator ThurstOn of Nebraska Stin
an Ardent Annexationfst.

Washington. Sept. Ex-senator Thurs
ton of Nebraska. who was in the city to-
day. was asked as to the truth of the re-
port that he would oppose the ratifica-
ton of the Hawaiian annexation treaty,
when it shall come up in the senate next
session.
Nothing" replied the senator, could
he farther from the truth am now, as
have been for years, an ardent annexa-
ZIONIST and shall do all can to promote
the approval of the treaty when it comes
up. i can not imagine how the SUPPOSE
ton that | would pursue a contrary
course, unless it grew out of the fact that
| have advocated the abrogatiOn of the
existing reciprocity treaty which admits
Hawaiian sugar free. That position l
took because of the fact Nebraska is a
beet sugar state and because our sugar
comes into competition with the
Hawaiian article. But, while this would
continue to be the case of Hawaii part
of the United States. there would be so
many advantages of other kinds grow
ing out of annexation that / would forego
my opposition to free Hawaiian sugar in
order to secure those good effects"
The senator added that he thought the
treaty would be taken up soon after the
converting of congress.

LIVE STOCK QUARANTINE.
Alleged Texas Cattle Fever IW
Illinois Soaring Them Up.

Washington, Sept. 16.--Secretary VIII
son Is Informed that the board of live
stock commissioners of Illinois probably
will quarantine all cattle shipped to.
that state from Kentucky. There have
been a number of outbreaks Of Texas
fever In Illinois recently caused by cat
tie shipped in violation of the federah
and state regulations from Texas, Ar
kansas and Tennessee. 1t Is asserted
that the Infected cattle are now being
driven across the quarantine line, ship
ped to Louisville and re-blled to points
In Illinois. The latter state has already
quarantined against Arkansas and len
nessee. The federal law is not very
specific In regard to this disease. NJ
provides thai the disease shall not be
considered contagious or infectious as
to cattle being transported by rail to-
market for slaughter, when they are
unloaded only TO he fed and watered In
lots on the way. The officials of the de-
partment of agriculture think further
legislation Is necessary to define the
powers of the department and they hope
that the losses sustained In these and
through these local guarantees Will
lead to demand for adequate control
by the general government.

MAD FOREIGN WOMEN.

Hazelton. Pa, Sept 16.-Two hundred
and fifty women were more trouble this
morning than the 10000 striking miners
have caused since last Fridays shooting.

with clubs, rolling-pins, pokers and any
weapons they could find. they invaded the.
washeries that have hitherto been work
ing and forced the men. about 300 in num-
Der, to quit work. AS the men were hus-
bands, sons or brothers of the women in
most instances. they made no resistance
In every other part OF the region quiet
prevailed.

some YELLOW FEVER news
SOME TEXAS PEOPLE GETTING
THE SHAKES ABOUT STRANGERS
COMING HERE.
NO NEED OF ALARM 1t present.
Quite n Number of State Tents Sent
to the Quarantine station at
Orange Cor Use There-How to
Treat Yellow Fever.

Some of the citizens of Austin are get
ting rather dubious about the reports that
people are coming from New Orleans
into Texas right through the quarantine
lines and are rather disposed to say that
somebody ought to stop them at any cost,
and put them in the quarantine station
for at least ten days. 1t is argued that
these parties are all through passengers,
but some of them who have come over
say that they have stopped in New Or
leans, and this makes the Irish of the
Texans rise. They need not fear, how
ever, inasmuch as there is little likelihood
of Texas being infected by an attack of
yellow fever. We are entirely too healthy
over here for yellow bronze to get in his
work.
Yesterday acting under advise from the
quarantine department, quite a number
of tents belonging to the state We're ship
ped to Orange, Texas. to be used there
in 1.-THE detention station TO serve as
sleeping places for people thrown in
quarantine.
Extra vigilance is being INDUCED in
along the border at present, and all quar-
antine stations are being closely guarded
to see that no one gets in who does not
belong there.

completing the work begun III the previ-
Gus session. In the interim many things
have happened that materially alter the po-
litical situation in Maryland and render
the outcome of the elections in November
more doubtful than ever. Senator Well
ington, formerly head of the republican
machine, has been deposed after a bitter
fractional fight, the eOlored element, which
composes more than third of the repub-
lican strength in the state, has become dis
affected and threatens to bolt the republi-
can party in body, and unless the pres
ent convention strikes very harmonious
note among many diseOrdant elements the
republicans are likely to go into the cam
paign with hot internecine war on their
hands.

sparrows and Crows for the Trans,

Chestertown, Nd, Jan. ia series OF
spirited shooting matches have been held
In various sections OF Kent county. On
some of these occasion English sparows
anG crows have been used instead Of live
or clay pigeons. The game little sparrow
presents several points of real merit First,
he is small and not easily hit, and next, he
is as quick as a flash, and vigorous FLYER
when he gets under way, all Of W hich char
actenstics are calculated TO puzzle the
shooter. The crow makes target more
easily struck. The method Of capturing the
crows is novel. A wood where thousands
OF crows roost is near Locust Grove. The
roosting grounds are invaded at night by a
number OF persons armed with lighted Ian
terms. The birds are completely dazed bv
Ehe light and are literally picked from
heir perches
