Donnelly, retailers of lively sidewalk wit;
Emerson and Omega, German comedians Of
high order; DOIlie Davenport, clever

signed and sent 10 the Senate last We'd

some Republicans, perhaps, aud be Bit

Faulkner, who generally knows as much

az am unalterably opposed to it." he
said. "The annexation of the islands
would not be advantageous to us at any
time, and in case of war with foreign
nation would be source of embarrass-
ment. We cannot now find sufficient
money 10 properly fortify our important
coast cities. Then, with our thousands
of miles of defenceiess coast, it is absurd
to talk of diverting money from this coun-
ry to fortify these islands when we real
ize we could not defend them. In the
event of war any nation with navy
would at once seize them. and they would
then form an obstacle in the way to re-
newal of peace, because we could not well
consent to surrender them. can see
great many reasons against the scheme
which the President proposes, but nouei in
its favor. The annexation of the islands
would prove great blunder, and l will
do all / can to prevent it." The treaty
provides that the U. s. shall assume the
debts of the Hawaiian Republic-about
81 OOO. 600.

Snow Stories.

Stories are told Of gigantic snow
banks not among the least Of which is
that OF. farmer in Harlem township,
Sargent county, who claims to have
added thirty-fve feet OF tubing to his
we'll in order to bring water to the
surface of the snow. Z. 0. Patter,
proprietor of a hotel, has found it
necessary to build q soarbed wire
fence around the roof of his barn TO
prevent further damage by stray stock,
large horse having fallen through
the roof recently while walking over a
supposed snowdrift. Sidney Mullen
vouches for the correctness OF the
statement that he has dug down thir-
teen feet into a drift to find the top of
his windmill. The sloping roof OF a
large grain house is said to be the
summit Of q most excellent toboggan
slide at Havana-and there are others.
