NO PLACE FOR WHITE MEN.
Senator PettiErew Tells Why He Is
Opposed to the Annexation
of Hawaii.

Washington, Feb. s.-Senator Pettigrew
of South Dakota. was the only speaker on
the Hawaiian annexation treaty in the ex-
ecutive session of the senate to-day. He
opposed the treaty, resuming his speech
where he had left off a week ago. taking up
the line of his argument in connection with
his assertions concerning the area and pop
ulation of the islands. He asserted that
the area capable of sugar cultivation
amounted to fully a half million acres. and
said that. as the land was very productive.
there was no doubt that all the sugar nee
ed States could be produced in Hawaii.
He quoted official statistics to the effect
that, in eleven months of last year. there
had been 496.0O000O pounds of Hawaiian su-
gar imported into the United States. The
senator then undertook to show that all
the sugar grown on the islands must be
produced by Asiatic labor. repeating and
celebrating the argument that no colonies
of the Anglo-SaXon race had ever been
successful within the tropics. He replied
to Senator Teller on this point. saying that
the facts were against the Colorado sena-
tors contention, and that the Hawaiian
islands would prove no exception to the
would not labor in a tropical climate.
He said that, of the 100000 people in ia
maica, fewer than 1900. including the
British garrison. were white. and in the
Straits settlement not / per cent of the res
idents We're English. He asserted that in
Hawaii there was not one European labor

the sugar plantations to-day.
If. he argued. we should annex the ISL
ands. the japanese would inevitably take
possession of them. and We could not in
any degree check their inroads under our
new treaty with Japan, which goes into
effect next year: In view of this fact, he
contended that. whatever bounty We give
or tariff We levy. the result will be in the
interest of Asiatic labor in Hawaii.
Senator Pettigrew held that the result OF
the encouragement of this species of labor
would be to the detriment of our own COM
merce. which, he commended Is already de-
clining in the Hawaiian islands. The Asiat-
les. he said. do not buy or use anything
We produce. In consequence of this fact,
our exports to that country have declined
rapidly during the past seven or eight
years. He quoted statistics to show that
this decline since 1891 had amounted to
fully q million dollars. which. he said, was
IL large figure for that country. In the face
of this fact, he said the population had in
creased to the extent of about 5000 in
the same length of time. 1t was true that
this increase of population had been almost
exclusively among the Asiatics, but this
fact only served to emphasize his point
that the Asiatics buy only Asiatic goods.
Senator Pettigrew at o'clock, announced
that he had not concluded his speech, but
would continue tomorrow.

Mr.. DUNN's LITTLE PLAN.
He Has Formulated One for the Re-
lief of Crowded Centers of
Population.

New York, Feb. Sc. B. Dunn. the head
Of the local weather bureau. has for a long
time been engaged in formulating some
measure that would ameliorate the con-
dition Of laborinG classes of the country.
He has sent to the commissioner of immi-
grafton at Washington. Terrence v. Pow
derly, O rough outline of measure that
he thinks would relieve the pressure on
large centers of population. His idea is to
prohibit the residence of immigrants in
crowded centers of population like New
York, Chicago and other large cities, unless
It can be shown that the immigrant does
not intend to compete with citizen labor
erS.
Before an immigrant sails from his native
country he must first call on the American
consul and designate the place for which
he is bound. The prohibited points are made
clear to him, and II he has no objective
point the American consul having knowi-
edge of places in this country where labor
is needed. will inform the prospective i'm
migrant of them. and IL he elects to choose
one passports and tickets through to such
place are to be given to him. All tmmi-
grants who are not furnished with proper
Credentials from the American consul as
to destination and other requisites shall be
deDOrted.

TO REFUND MEXICO'S DEBT.
Negotiations Are Now Pending With
That Object in View in New
York City.

New York. Feb. s.-The republic of Mex
leo is negotiating with the banking house of
]. & W. Seligman &; Co.. looking to the re-
funding of the entire national gold debt of
the republic. amounting to about s1OO. .O0O.-
00u. This Indebtedness bears interest at the
rate of per cent a year In gold and can
be redeemed July l next, The plan under
consideration is the scaling down of the
interest rate to 4 or AZ per cent. The pres
ent bonds would be redeemed by a syndi-
cate of bankers and the new bonds issued
in exchange.
That negotiations of this character should
be carried on with New York firm is con-
sdered very remarkable in banking fin
arces, as never before have American
bankers taken any interest in a national
debt outside of our own. 1t is further re-
markable from the fact that large por-
ton of these bonds is held in Germany Hol-
land and England.
1t is understood. however, that prominent
European banks and firms will be interest
ed in the negotiation; principal among these
is the Berlin house of Baron Bleichroeder
& Co.
1t was stated at the office of J. & W. Selig-
man & Co: that these negotiations are pro-
crossing. but it would be premature to
make any definite announcement at present.

Fate or Race Horses.

What becomes Of the racing kings
after their proud days are over! Horses
which are worth thousands Of dollars
vanish from the public eye In the course
Of time and the ordinary person never
again hears Of them.
A race horse usually begins Its career
when 2 years old ana Its racing life ia
six or seven years. Usually the aver.
age Of withdrawal from the turf Is
Ave years. The ordinarily good race
horse does not have an enviable fate.
Hundreds Of WORKOUT racers are sold
to cabmen, others are used as hack
riding horses and some are exported
to South America, India or Australia.
These brOken-dOwn horses have often
been put to the toughest of farm work
and baker has been known to possess
u thoroughbred which has won several
important races. Extremely dOcile.
this light Of other days placidly assists
In delivering hot bread mornings. It
has been found impossible to train race
horses for circus purposes, but Occa.
slOnally they have been used in steeple-
chase scenes In sensational dramas.
