HISTORIC NORFOLK
From the Witness

From the Witness,
Norfolk is an interesting city
It's founding antedateS the dcCIa-
ration Of independence nearly a
| hundred years. Not far up the
river is jamestown where our
/ forefathers landed twenty years
before the pilgrims placed their
/ feet on Plymouth Rock Near
Norfolk is Great Bridge, where
the first victory Of the Revolution
was won, and Yorktown. where
! the last battle was fought which
gave Us freedom. In the vicinity
OF Norfolk Is Big Bethel, where
the first battle of the civil war
was fought, and the famous
! Hampton Roads, where the fight
occurred between the Mrrrimac
and the Monitor, which changed
the whole character of naval war
fare.
Norfolk was a battle ground in
the war of Independence. the war
of 1872 and the civil war. and it
will perhaps be a battle ground
in the conflict with Spain. A can
non ball, fired into old St. Paul :
church during the Revolutionary
war, may vet be seen. There
are churches and Masonic lodges
IN Norfolk nearly two hundred
years old.
While in this historic city we
enjoyed IN excursion up the bay
to Old Point, where we saw an
chored three great war ships be-
longing to the flying Squadron,
ready at a moments notice to
join the fleet of brave Dewey or
gallant Sampson and help sweep
the Spanish flag from the ocean
and give freedom to the Pearl Of
the Antilles.
At Portsmouth and Newport
! News we saw the navy wards,
where were built and launched
many Of the great war ships.
+ The special feature Of Old Point
| Comfort is its famous hotels. the
j HNgiea and Chamberlain. Fur
! thrr inland is Fortress Monroe,
where is Fept in store Il vast
amount of ammunition and DOW
| der ready IN case OF emergency.
j NJ Hampton Roads is th"
beautiful soldiers home, pow
Shelterlng thousand aged and
dccrepit Union soldiers of the late
war
Though surrounded with these
interesting and antique historical
places and fac'S, Norfolk itself is
an up to date, live, rushing
city Of some 1000 inha bitantS,
with five large factories employ
ing hundreds OF men and women
and a great fish and oyster trade.
Real estate IN the city and Subur-
ban towns commands fine prices,
and property changes hands rap
idly. The country immediately
surrounding the city is excellent
tor trucking. We saw immense
fields Of vegetables, and straw
berries We're being shipped by the
carloads.

HAWAIps CHANCES BETTER.
FRIENDS OF ANNEXATION TREATY
NOW COUNT on RATIFICATION.

Their Confidence in "A Changed Con-
ditiOn in Their Favor Shown in the
Executive Session of the Senate by
Their Determination to Press 1t to
a Final Vote-MOtiOn for Postpone
ment of Further Consideration of
the Treaty Voted Down.
Washington, Feb. 1.-The situation in
fine Senate respecting the Hawaii annex
alton treaty has greatly improved, and
The friends of the treaty, Including Mr..
Davis. chairman of the foreign relations
committee, are confident that the sixty
senator's whose votes are necessary for
tvo-thirds' majority will vote for ratif-
cation.
confidence in the changed condition is
found in the determination of the friends
of ratification to press forward the treaty
TO a final vote. This feeling was shown
when the proceedings of the Senate on
the treaty in executive session to-day were
opened.
Senator Thurston made a motion for the
postponement OF further consideration of
the treaty until March /. The motion was
not discussed at length and was voted
down viva voce.
Senator Plat of Connecticut opened the
debate with a carefully arranged argu-
Inent in favor of annexation. He dwelt
particularly upon the Importance of the
acquisition of the islands from CONNER
ciaI point of view. He contended that
our commerce would in all cases follow
our civilization and urged that we should
use every legitimate method to extend
our trade with outside nations, as by pur-
suing this course we would also extend
our institutions and ideas of government.
The Hawaiian Islands he regarded as es-
eential to the command of the traffic on
the Pacific ocean.
Senator Plat charged that the sugar
trust was opposed to annexation. He said
there were certain parties, whom he did
not name, who were supposed to be identi-
fed with the trust, who had grievance
against the present government of the
islands, and he alleged they were using
all the means at their command to pre-
vent the acquisition of this country by
the United States. He urged upon the
Senate the importance of not giving ear
to the representations of the trusts, and
said that on the contrary the United
States should extend the hand of brother
hood to this sister republic of the Pacific,
which was so anxious to join it's fortune
with our own.
Senator Pettigrew then took the floor
IN opposition to the ratification of the
treaty. He argued, among other things,
that TO annex the islands would mean the
inevitable destruction of the sugar beet
industry in the United States
Senator White of California also spoke
in opposition. His was in the main con-
stitutional argument, intended to show
that annexation of territory which would
require navy to defend it had from the
beg!nning been opposed to our theory of
government
he took occasion, In reply to Senator
Platts statement to remark that the
sugar trust was opposed to the treaty, that
most OF the senators who were popularity
believed to be interested in the sugar
trust were favorable to the treaty.

GOVERNMENT CASH ACCOUNT.
The Receipts i'm Excess of the Expen-
ditures in January.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The monthly com
parative statement of the government re-
ceipts and expenditures show that for the
month of January the receipts aggregated
$37, 1888, sos, and the expenditures S36, 696, III,
leaving a surplus for the month of $685., 917
The receipts from customs during Jan
uary amounted to $14,2694 1872, a gain, as
compared with January, 1897, of about 49,
100000.
The internal revenue also showed q gain
of over 81, 800, 600 for the month
Since July l the government has paid
out on pension account nearly $4,000 900.
The present net gold balance in the treas
ury is the largest since August, 1890. This
accumulation became somewhat burden
some and for some time past the govern
ment has not encouraged its deposits. Re
Gently, however, treasury notes and silver
has been coming in large quantities, and
the situation, in consequence, is relieved.
The receipts from customs and internal
revenue sources are both very encouraging
to the officials, and altogether the treasury
situation is regarded as entirely satisfac-
tory.

COAL REGIONS BIG TRIAL.
Sherif Martin and His - Deputies
March Into Court in Body.

March Into Court in Body.
Wilkesbarre, Pa. Feb. 1.LNot since the
trials of the Molly Maguires has a case al
tracted SO much interest in the coal re-
gion as that of Sheriff Martin and his
eighty-two deputies, which began in the
Luzerne County Court to-day. Hundreds
of persons were unable to gain admission.
Sheriff Martin and his eighty-two depu-
ties are charged with shooting and killing
twenty-five striking miners, and with
Woundlng over fifty more at Latimer. this
county, in September, 1897. The eighty
two deputies marched in in a body. and
after seating themselves, began to read
the morning papers, apparently uncon-
The bar was crowded with LAWYERS.
while around the tables were grouped
some OF the best attorneys in this section
OF the state. Judge Woodward presided

Of selecting a jury was then begun
During the afternoon seven jurors were
selected, and at $50 o'clock court sd-
journed until tomorrow.
The prosecution claims to have sufficient
evidence to convict fifteen of the defend
ants. 1t is alleged that every one of the
fifteen made threats on the morning of the
shooting.
1t is claimed one man said 81 would
like to get chance to shoot down some
of the damned foreigners"
Another is reported to have said: II will
fill them full of holes; the country would
be better off without them"
1t as also claimed Sheriff Martin had an
understanding with the deputies. 1t has
been claimed all along that the sheriff
never gave the order to fire. The prosecu-
ton say this may be true in one sense of
the word, but that the sheriff gave a sig
nal, which was just as effective as a word
by mouth order. The signal was for the
sheriff to pull his revolver. The instant
he did this the posse was to fire.
The lawyers for the defense say no wit
ness will be found to testify to such facts
but the attorneys for the prosecution say
there will.
