Washington, Feb. Ambassador
White. ct Berlin, by cable to the state

German government relative to the i'm
poTtation into Germany OF American
fresh fruits. 1t is said there is now
Rathing to do on our part but watch
the workings of the decree as a means
of testing the spirit in which it was
conceived, whether il was framed with
the single purpose of keeping out dis
eased fruit, or whether il was not a
mere preteXt TO prevent the COMPETE
ton OF our fruit with that of German
production. That the department has
reason to suspect the latter is evinced
from the report that comes to it from
Consul Barnes at Cologne. in which
the consul points out gross discrimina-
ton there AGAINST American hams.

washington, Feb. 7.-Senator Teller
of Colorado occupied the hours OF to-
DAYS senate executive session IN
discussing the Hawaiian annexation
treaty. During the course of his speech
Mr.. Teller took occasion to say that ne
should have been glad to discuss the
treaty in open session, ana ne
added the opinion that the time hdu al
most come when the question OF anne
alton should be debated on a bill look
~ ~ Ieeislation by both houses OF con-
e-ress rather than on the basis OF the
treaty. While he thought there might
he . hare possibility of securing the oO
votes necessary to ratify the treaty
he conceded that under the present CIR
cumstance this was exceedingly oouoC
full and he thought the sooner lne leC !
was recognized and a change OF front
made. the better it would be from all
points of view. There were some inter-
1-1Dtions at this point and it was Sug-
gested by some senators, after the close
of the executive session, that the COM
raittee on foreign relations would con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of making TINS
change of policy at its next meeting,
TO be held on Wednesday OF TINS week
The statement was made, however, by
Senator Davis chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations that there
had been no intention of attaching the
treaty to one of the Appropriation Dllls
as an amendme as had been stated
was the case in some of the newspa-
pers- He made this statement in reply
to a question put by Senator White of
California.
RACE PROBLEM.
Senator Teller advocated the ratifi-
cation of the treaty, basing his reasons
for this position upon the ground that
the annexation of the islands was in
the interest of our commerce and in
line with our national policy for the
past half century. He devoted himself
very largely to replying to the objection
that had been raised to acquiring the
islands because Of the domination of
the native race. He undertook TO show
that there was no foundation for this
criticism, or if there was such founda-
ticn now, it need not, he said, long con-
tinue to be an essential factor of the
situation. He based this statement up
on figures which he produced TO show
that the natives, or Kanakas, were rap
idly dying off as a result of their COM
mingling with outside races.
He c0ntended that the islanders could
not long remain TO dispute the suprem-
acy of some other race, and what that
race should be would depend largely
upon the present action of the United
States senate.
He controverted the position of Sen
ators Pettigrew and White that the
American could not labor in the Ha-
waiian islands. He quoted weather sta
tistics TO show that the temperature on
the island coast ranged from 56 to IS
during the year, which, he said, was far
from being an oppressively hot climate.
Farther inland it was still cooler. and
on the mountains frosts were not in
frequent. Mr.. Teller thought they
would make an excellent location for
the colored people of the United States
who might desire to leave this country
and would find congenial employment
III the sugar plantations and coffee
fields of Hawaii.

POLITICAL DEBATE.

POLITICAL DEBATE.
Mr.. Greene (Pop. Neb.) made some OBJ
servations on the much-mooted sub
ject of returning prosperity. He read q
dispatch from Wheeling, w. Va, Civ
ing an account of the alleged tearing
down of McKinley's picture by work
ingmen. Gentlemen might cry pros
perity. prosperity. said he, but there
was no prosperity.
And others howl calamity. calam-
ity." cried Mr.. Perkins (Rep. Ia, amid
shouts of laughter from the Repub-
leans.
Mr.. Olmstead CRep. Pa-), in reply to
Mr.. Greene, produced clippings from
newspapers in all parts of the country,
showing a great revival of business
and trade. He said that the continued
agitation of the silver question was
the only thing that retarded the full
measure of prosperity that would nat
urally flow from the Dingley law. The
threat contained in the Teller resolu-
ton had driven $40,O00,O0O to invest
ment Of foreign securities.

voice on the Democratic side.
Mr. Landis-You don't hear of silver

Mr. Meirs Dem. Ind), and Mr..
De Almond Dem. MOI, both denounced
the action of the house on the Teller
bond resolution. The whole purpose
of the Republican party in the defeat
of that resolution, Mr.. De Almond de-
clared, was to commit the country ir-
retrievably to the gold standard. 1t
had at last thrown off all subterfuges
and shams and now had the shame
less effrontery to boldly proclaim the
robbery which it always secretly con-
nived at. but never before had the
hardihOod to avow.
NO ARGUMENT.
Mr.. Low (Rep. N. ". said it was
no strong marvel that the Democrats
prosperity which confronted them on
all sides When a Democrat was
brought face to face with prosperity
he shook like an aspen leaf.
Mr.. Perkins CRep. la. said that in
the matter of wheat and wool the high
p.ives prevailing had been charged to
blind chance. 1t was said that the
Republican party was the party of
good luck. If that were true, il fol-
lows that there must be party of bad
luck. For himself he preferred to af-
filiate himself with the party which
was identified with the prosperity and
happiness OF the country.
