The action OF the House does not
settle the question Of annexation by
any means. The Senate has yet a
word to say, and Congress does not
propose to remain in session all
summer. 1t may be that Mr.. Nc
Kinley will call an extra session as a
"war measure" and then force an
issue on the Hawaiian steal. We
will await that day with great deal
of complacence, because we do not
believe that a change can be made
in the sentiments OF the honorable
senators who have not submitted to
the "war cry" of the jingoes, and
who will not be bullied by the
House, and who will consider the
true interests of America before as
sisting in foolish and dishonorable
act.

Should the Senate weaken as Reed
did-and what can you expect of
a man from Maine2-the men who
in Hawaii to-day are singing "Glory
Halleujah" for annexation will, two
years from now wish that they had
bitten out their tongues before they
helped in destroying the independ-
ence of the islands. The millionaire
sugar barons will be albright be-
cause they will live abroad and en-
Joy their dividends. The mission
aries will be happy because they can
get beer and music on Sundays, and
whisky will be sold at half price.
The Government officials will, be
sorry, however, because they will
find no Government pap, and those
Hawaiians who shouted for annexa-
tion will call themselves asses be-
cause the "other" fellows will call
them American" niggers."

scene characterized the meeting
Wednesday in The office of Secretary

both hands, and then Gen. Lee drew
his friend to his heart and they Rugged
and kissed each other regardless of the
fact that many other persons were
present. Secretary Alger was visibly
affected.

the heroes of Santiago in New York
city if his official duties will permit.

TROOPS ORDERED HOME.
Will Go Into Camp at Various State
CaDitals-May Soon Be Mus

Washington, Aug. 19.-Orders were
issued by Adjt. Gen. Corbin Thursday
night for the Second New York, now
at Fernandina, Fla, to proceed with
all its equipment, except wagon trans
portation, to Troy, n. Y, and there go
into camp; the Second Maine to pro-
coed from Chickamauga to Augusta,
Me-; the First Illinois cavalry to pro-
coed from Chckamauga to Spring
field, H., and the Twenty-third Kan
sas, now in camp at Topeka, 20 proceed
at once to Santiago, Cuba, and there
report to Gen. Lawton. The Twenty
third Kansas is regiment of colored
troops and is said to be an excellent
organization. 1t is the purpose to
make the regiment part of the per-
manent garrison of Santiago. The
movements of the other three regi-
ments is believed to be preparatory to
mastering them out of the service. It
is said at the department, however,
that the orders were issued because Of
desire on the part of the people of
the states to have the organization
in camp at home rather than in one
of the large camps Of mobiliZat ton. In
their state camps the men would, it
was argued, be less liable to illness.
AS the establishment of camps in the
states would involve not much addi-
tional expense and would be of obvious
advantage to the troops, the request
for their movement was granted by
the department. 1t is likely that other
organiza tons will shortly be ordered
to go into camp in their home states.
