FROM THE MESSAGE.

Pending the consideration by the
Senate of the treaty signed June 16.
1897, by the plenipotentiaries OF the
| UnIled States and OF the Republic OF
! Hawaii, providing for the annexation
Of the Islands, joint resolution to ac-
complish the same purpose by accept
ing the offered cession and incorporat-
ing the ceded territory in the Union.
was adopted by the Congress and ap-
proved July 7. 1898. ! thereupon d.
rected the United States steamer Phil
adelphia to convey Rear Admiral Mil
Ter to Honolulu and intrusted to his
hands this important legislative act, TO
be- delivered 10 the President OF the
Republic OF Hawaii. with whom the
admiral and the United States Minister
were authorized to make appropriate
arrangements for transferring the SOW
ereignty OF the Islands to the United
States. This was simply. but impress
slvely, accomplished on the 18th day OF
August last. by the delivery OF a certi-
fed copy OF the resolution TO President
Dole, who thereupon yielded up to the
representative of the Government OF
the United States the sovereignty and
public property of the Hawaiian ISL
| ands.
Pursuant to the terms Of the Joint
! resolution and in exercise of authority
! thereby conferred upon me. directed
| that the civil. judicial and military
! powers heretofore exercised by the Of
! ficers Of the Government OF the Repub-
/ lie Of Hawaii should continue to be ex-
! erciscd by those officers until Congress
! shall provide government for the in
/ cOrpOrated territory, subject TO my
| power 10 remove such officers and to
! I'LL vacancies. The President, officers
and troops Of the Republic thereupon
took the oath OF allegiance to the Unit
ed States, thus providing for the unin-
ierrupted continuance OF all the ad-
ministrative and municipal functions
OF the annexed territory until Congress
shall otherwise enact.
Following the further provision OF
the joint resolution, I appointed s. NJ.
Cullom Of Illinois, John T. Morgan OF
Alabama, Robert II. Hit OF Illinois,
Sanford b, Dole OF Hawaii and Walter
+. Frear OF Hawaii as Commissioners
to confer and recommend TO Congress
such legislation concerning the Hawai-
ian Islands as they should deem neces-
sary or proper. The Commissioners,
having fulfilled the mission confided to
them, their report will be laid before
you at an early day. II Is believed that
their recommendation will have the
earnest consideration due to the mag
nitude OF the responsibility resting up
on you to give such shape TO the rela-
tionship OF those midpacifc lands to
our home union as will benefit both in
the highest degree, realizing the aspir-
ations OF the community that has cast
Its lot with us and elected to share our

CONSIDERATION OF BILL.

WASHINGTON, December S.-When
the Senate Committee on Foreign Re
| latiOns today put over till next week
consideration of Hawaiian legislation
| it was with feeling on the part of the
members that there will be hard fight
| before there is any final settlement oi
the question. Many Senators appear
reluctant to take up the problem unit
IL may be handled altogether.
While this is the condition OF the
general bill. there is a growing belief
that the bill extending the customs and
navigation laws must be rushed
through. IL Is stated on authority here
that there are now under way plans for
the importation OF immense amounts
OF merchandise into Hawaii, which
pays the small tariff of the Islands and
which Is destined for entry into this
country at clear saving OF something
like 40 per cent. ad valorem on the
goods. From Hawaii the purchasers
expect TO ship the goods into the Unit
ed States without the payment of duty
Senator Perkins will at once confer
with Payne and Elkins, who introduc-
ed the customs bill, and endeavor to
have them put into the measure con-
tract labor. and exclusion clauses, as
these are all subjects which come under
the Treasury There will be but that
one department concerned in the bill.
which II is hoped will be put through,
even II the general bill shall fail.
The Hawaiian bill was only consid-
cred in very general way today, the
committee deciding to postpone the de-
tail work upon II for week. This de-

AN AUTUMN IDYL.
the SorrawfuIness of the Ex- piring Year.

A great wave Of precipitation had swept up from the briny depths Of the sea of hu- manity, and on it's white-capped top the month of August had taken passage to the shoreless realms of eternity.
 Tip-tllted on the petals of the blooming melancholy days of poesy and song, Sep tember in her golden glory stood and from her harvest finger ends threw ripening kisses 10 the world.
 There was no sadness in her eyes, and in her voice was only the music of rich, ripe fruit falling to the ground.

PRACTICAL KINDNESS.
One Hundred Thousand Grateful sol-

These war times have tried mems souls

These war times have tried mems souls in many unexpected ways, but like shaft of sunshine and good cheer out of the cloud of ptivation and endurance has been the work that The American Tobacco Co. has done among the U. $. Soldiers and Sailors ever since the war began-for when they discovered that the camps and hospitals were not supplied with tobacco they de cided to provide them, free of cost, with enough for every man, and have already given outright to our Soldiers and Sailors over one hundred thousand pounds of Bat Ak Plug and Dukes Mixture Smoking Tobacco, and have bought and distributed fifty thousand briar wood pipes, at total cost of between fifty and sixty thousand dol lars.
 This work has been done quietly and thoroughly, by establishing headquarters in each camp, so that every camp and every hospital Of the United States Army has been supplied with enough tobacco for every man and the sailors on thirty United States Ships in Cuban waters have shared with the soldiers this most welcome of all "rations."
 z Perhaps 1t will be only fair to remember when we hear the remark again that Preparations have no souls," that there Is one American corporation whose soul has been tried and has not been found wanting n practical kindness"

Col. Cook Talks.

Col. V. Y. Cook, of the Second Arkan- sas, passed through Little Rock the other day en route home on a visit to his family at Elmo. In conversation with a reporter relative to the Second Regiment, Col. Cook said:
 Camp Shipp at Anniston is a grand improve ment over Camp Thomas The country where we are encamped Is dotted over with little mountains, or hills, making an admirable site where the regiments are located without crowd ing, with the most complete drainage in every 'direction. The officers and enlisted men have all been provided with plank floors, six inches on the ground, for their tents, which protects them from all dampness. We have pure. whole some water in abundance
 "Of course majority Of the men would pre- fer being mustered out. However, all are ae- cepting the conditions phliosophically with q determination to do their duty wherever they may be ordered.
 'tThe Second Is one Of the best Tn the brigade and frequently Of late has been eomplimented l by superior officers for their individual de- meanor, their promptness in obeying orders and efficiency in drill as a regiment. It would be impossible for me to say too much In eulogy | of the officers and men Of the Second, and whatever service our government may call on us 70 perform, the state will have no reason to | feel otherwise than proud of our record.
 My attitude has been misunderstood and In a few instances misrepresented in the press relative to granting furloughs. I had orders to grant furloughs only to those desiring to remain in the service. and not to those desir- ing and expecting a discharge, except under special conditions.
 As to the reported riot in our regiment, 1t never occurred, and the correspondent knew he was writing an untruth when he sent out a communication to that effect. l never gave an order the men did not obey with prompt ness and alaerity, and at all times the men have shown me every respect. and have treated their superiors as becomes gentlemen and soldiers"
 The Second is now in the Third Brigade, First division, Third army corps The regiment has been in camr over four months, and lost 20 men by death, t9 of whom died at Chickamauga Col. Cook reports the health of the regi ment excellent.

A SMALL BOYS SCHEME.
He Had an Idea About Eggs Which Promised a Splendid Result to
 His Mind.

A small boy who s not familiar with rural ways was taken by his fond mamma for a brief stay in the country.
 On farm in neighboring county he waxed fat and sunburnt, and picked up a wondrous store of astonishing experiences One day the farmer smlingly said to his mother:
 Just ask your boy what he hid two eggs in the stable for?"
 So the very first opportunity the mother said to the six-yearold:
 My dear, what did you do with those eggs you took from the hen house?"
 "Oh, mamma replied the boy "I didn't want you to know about it"
 "Why, it's all right, said mamma, "1 only want 10 know what my boy did with them" "1 hid them in the stable" said the little fellow
 And what for?"
 Cause it's my scheme"
 ''Your. scheme? And what is your scheme 2"
 "Why, you see, mamma" said the little philosopher, when eggs is borned in a chicken house they is always little chickens, an fink if they was horned in stable dey might be little horsesl"
 It is needless to add that up 10 the time of his leaving the farm the miracle was still unaccomplished,-Cle Plain Dealer.
