ment-Land-grab bling Policy.

Washington, June 2f-Interest in
the discussion of Hawaiian annexation,
which is proceeding in the senate al
ready has begun to flag. Early in the
present session the senate debated the
question behind closed doors for six
weeks. During that time majority of
the speakers were accorded close at

become enthusiastic over arguments
which are not new to them.
Early today Mr. White Dem., CALI
the leader Of the opponents of annex
alton, spoke for three hours and a half
His argument was skiIlful and present
ed with oratorical ability, but it failed
to command the attention from sena-
tors it really deserved. Mr.. White had
not concluded his argument when the
resolutions were laid aside for the day.
Mr.. Mitchell Dem, Wis., opened the
discussion today with a brief speech in
opposition to the resolutions.
Among the bills passed was one pro-
viding severe penalties for the ma
hcious injury or destruction of sub
marine mines, torpedoes, Notifications
or other coast defenses.
Almost Immediately after the senate
convened, the resolution for the annex

NATION IS DAFT.
Mr. Mitchell Of Wisconsin delivered
J. speech in opposition to annexation.
He declared that the nation just now
was shorn Of its judgment. The effort
to establish our government in the far
west and the adoption of a policy of
imperialism was evidence Of that He
thought the seizure of Hawaii would
remove all doubt as TO our landgrab-

dripped, to the advantage of all who
cared to avail themselves of it.

SKATER IN HIS OWN DEFENSE

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-General William
r. Shafter, in an interview here re-
garding the Santiago campaign, re-
plies to the suggestion that the land
ing should have been at Aguadores:
"Any commanding general who
would have landed his troops at Aqua
dores in preference to Baiquiri ought
to be court-martialed and shot for in.
competency. 1t was not good beach
on which to land. The ground was
densely covered with vine or plant
much more deadly than the poisonous
ivy. Through this the soldiers would
have had to cut their way. The point
was strongly defended and there was
no water between Aguadores and San
tiago. The ground was impracticable,
if not impossible. Had l landed at
Aguadores and invested Santiago, the
Spanish would have had a road over
which they could have retreated from
the city if they so desired. My army
went in over the hills and cut off the
Spanish retreat"

Is Alum Poisonous?

Alum is used by many bakers 10
whiten their bread enabling them to
use an inferior flour, and it is also en-
ployed as a cheap substitute for cream
of tartar in the manufacture OF baking
powder. It's use in bread and baking
powder is very detrimental to health
producing dyspepsia and obstinate
constipation, and under certain condl'
tions of the human system results IN
poisoning. What these conditions are
so far as each individual is concerned
can only be surmised: some peculiar
ity of the system producing a morplo
change in the secretions of the stom-
ach with which the alum combines
and forms an active poison; or, the Sc
cretions may be healthy but in ao-
normal proportions, and these lesser
or greater proportions in combination
with the alum constitute poison JUST
as two parts of mercury and two parts
chlorine form calomel, which is mol
poisonous, while one part of mercury
and two parts of chlorine yield cor
rosive sublimate, which is most dead
y poison.

pie lining both sides of all the thor
oughfares through which he passed.

st. Louisans. At noon the chief ex-
ecutive addressed large crowd on the

exposition building, the greatest
throng of people addressed by Presi-

all the Presidents movements were
carefully guarded by st. Louis police
and detectives to prevent his being
subject to the slightest inconven-
fence or discomfort, and it was through
their efforts that everything passed off
smoothly.

TANNER DEFENDS HIMSELF

SpRINeEIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 15.-Governor
Tanner last night gave out an inter
view regarding the situation at Virden
and his attitude on the importation OF
miners into the state. lie said:
my position has been from the be-
ginning, and am now more positive
in that position, emphatically against
the importation of labor into Hi
nois, not from the Southern states
alone, but from all other states,
because such pernicious system.
as 1 have said before, necessarily
brings to our state and dumps upon
society an undesirable class of citizens,
and I do not propose, if can help it,
that the state of Illinois shall be used
as dumping ground for the criminal
and idle classes of other countries or
other states.
THE Chicago Virden company has
been an intentional law breaker, has
sent an agent to Alabama and by false
pretenses induced negroes to come
here, loading them on the trains like
cattle, locking the doors of the cars,
feeding them like stock, and procuring
the services of armed guards from a
detective agency, and invading the
state in an illegal manner"
He says if he had been apprised Of
the coming of the train he should have
had it met at the state line with the
national guard and disarmed and made
prisoners of every man bearing arms
