twelve hours, manned the life boat and

This spurred Ike Pulford, Pierce's man

a mile in twelve minutes after getting

not permit this unless some one

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
FRIENDS OF THE TREATY MAP
OUT ACTION.
Definitely Decided That the Cues
ton Will be Considered in
Executive Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec IL. - The
friends of Hawiian annexation have
definitely decided to consider the ques-
ton in executive session of the Senate.
few of those who support Hawaii in
this matter were at first inclined to be-
lieve that unless it became evident that
the Iwo-thirds necessary to secure the
ratification of the treaty was assured
from The beginning it will be a waste of
time to take the matter up at all.
Upon the basis of the treaty bill they
appear to have changed their minds
and TO be at least disposed to defer to
the opinions of the majority, who op-
pose this course. 1t is now stated on
behalf of the annexationists that to
abandon the treaty at the present time
would create the impression that they
had surrendered the fight entirely.
They think that the consideration of
the question Will serve to bind those
who profess to be in favor of annexa-
ton ard hold at least majority of the
Senate for resolution if it should be-
come necessary to resort to this meas
ure.
There is also another reason for de-
string the consideration of the treaty
behind closed doors which actuates the
Committee on Foreign Relations. This
is the fact that Japans attitude toward
annexation is such as to involve some
delicate questions which the members
of this committee think it not advisable
to air before the public in the way that
they might be aired if the matter
should be taken up for debate in the
open Senate.
The stanchest friends of annexation
admit that it would be we'll nigh i'm
possible to secure the two-thirds vote
necessary to ratify the treaty. but they
contend that they will come very near
reaching the necessary number. OF the
sixty votes necessary they claim to
have fifty-four pledged, and they think
it possible that they might secure two
or three more votes.

Just fifteen men out of the thirty-six

wonder that it was a heart breaking,
killing pace.
No one to-day could change his place
on that black score board that has

six long weary days. A few rode fast
to beat out Rivierre and Moore, who

LAST HOURS OF THE RACE

to cut down his lead. With the finish al
most in sight they could only pedal

complish for them what energy and en-
durance had failed to achieve.
A hard struggle was in progress
through the night and the early morn

been in great pain and was by no means

both fell from their wheels but neither
was seriously hurt. About an hour later
the men slipped once more. and 1t look
ed as IL neither of them could continue.

toward the rail where the men lay. The
trainers placed the riders on their

At the Christmas dinner of the new
Vagabonds' Club on Friday, Rear Ad-
miral Lord Charles Beresford was the
guest of the evening, and he created a
sensation by his plain speaking on So
cial questions. Money" he declared,
is now everything among US. The
vulgarian of whatever nationality,
whether ne has gained money honorably
or disgracefully, could buy his way
among those who are described as the
best and proudest in the land, but who
worship the golden calf
Continuing. Lord Beresford said: "Our
old Empire will soon be going down
grade, when a man in the so-called best
society commits a dishonorable act and
society bands together to screen him, in
stead of hanging him to the first tree.
The popular Rear Admiral also urged
a return to the old love of chivalry
and patriotism, the abhorrence of every
thing sOrdid and selfish"
The Eagabonds were at first aghast
quent cheers showed that outSpoken
truths are not altogether unpalatable.
The National Liberal Federation, at its
annual meeting at Derby on Tuesday
last, constructed a new platform which
it is hoped will be broad enough to hold
all the factions. 1t includes the aboli-
tion of the Peers, right of vote, woman
suffrage, the payment of members of the
House of Commons, the enfranchise-
ment of papers and the defraying of
election expenses from public funds.

1t is the Will of the Emperor that

there have been only two duels since

SCOTT on MONTANA FARMERS.

Wool Clip Paying-lrrigation and Diver.
sifiad Farming on the Up Grade.
George Fl. Scott, late editor Of the
Yellowstone Journal, at Miles City,
Montana, was in the city today,
Said he to the Dspatch:
The sheepgrowers Of Montana have
been able to dispose Of the clip Of '97
at fair profit. At this time in '96
but a very few sheepgroWers were
able to get an advance Of S cents for
wool that today sells readily at Il

THE season, will bring to the flock
masters in round numbers about
$4,000, 1000. The industry is ncrcas-
ing annually in the far west, and
bids fair to be a paying branch OF the
stock business in the future. The
Aocks on sale now are selling now to
good advantage, and spring lambs
promise to sell better than for years.
The times in the west are not 50
close but what large sales OF both
cattle and sheep are effected quite
often and at good prices, too; much
better than one year ago while the
campaign was on. Many of the
larger cattle raisers, as we'll as those
who only grow in a smaller way, are
rapidly learning the superior advan-
tage to be obtained from feeding
their young stock the first winter
Alfalfa, the very best forage plant
known, can be produced in this sec
tion of the country, where irrigation
is rcsorted to, with 50 much ease and
success that raising hay in this coun-
try is considered a secondary matter
with both large and small growers.
1t has been learned to their entire
satisfaction that it pays, and pays
them WE'LL too, to feed their stock
during the first winter Of existence.
The raising Of this hay is an easy
matter, for in some Of the lower val
leys four good crops Of alfalfa are
produced, averaging in fair season
about six tons to the acre. 1t is be-
ing fast learned that the small
farmers who highly cultivate every
acre OF their land are the most pros
porous and independent people.
Many of the farmers claim that they
can make a better living here than
they can make on 100 acres where
they don't resort to irrigation, but
trust entirely to the sometimes
grudg ng hand Of nature for this
much needed moisture for the sue
ccssful growing Of crops. An lrrl-
gated country is preferable to those
dependent upon uncertain rainfall in
more ways than one, because they
are absolutely sure and the yield is
larger. The coming great industry
with us in the west, like the people
Of your state, is to be that OF produce
ing the sugar beet, and it is very
sweet subject to write, talk or even
think OF. And my idea is that no
time should be lost BY any one in the
production OF this vegetable, for it
would save the people as'much money
annually as they receive for the CROP
of cereals exported.-St. Paul Dis
