States board of general appraisers in this
city today overruled the protest of Chas.
p. Coles of San Francisco against the
assessment of a duty Of 81 cents per

claimed was entitled to free entry.
The coal was described on the invoice

as "Abercrave best, large, double
screened anthracite COAL" The import
er claimed that the coal came under par
agraph 533 of the Dingley bill, which
provides for the free admission of cer-
tain Goals. The collector Of customs in
San Francisco assessed the coal CT cents
per ton, under paragraph AIS of the
Dingley bill, which action is upheld.

Treaty Discussion May Continue
for Some Time.
SENATOR MORCAN'S Amendment
President BarrioS Assassinated
Spanish Minister de Lone
Resigns.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE
Hawaiian treaty will be pushed vigor-
ously next week and if chance offers.
test vote will be taken in the hope
that final vote may be secured before
Senator White leaves for Los Angeles.
This was the practical result of the
caucus Of the members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee with the
members of the Commerce Committee,
who are favorable both to annexation
and the Hawaiian cable bill.
The cable question was the subject
which drew the members Of both COM
mittees together first and there was
general discussion of the subsidy pro-
visions and concessions which should
be made by this Government to secure
cable connections not only with the
Islands, but with the Orient. The com
mitteemen present were unanimously
in favor of the cable blI, which is that
known as the Scrymser measure, and
though slight alterations in the condi-
tlons were suggested, there is reason to
believe it will be reported favorably
The close connection between the
subjects led to the discussion of annex
alton, as in the event of the success of
the treaty there would be greater ne
cessity for cable connection. The Sen
atOrs present who are most actively
in the fight for the treaty's ratification
compared their polls, but could not
figure more than So votes. They can
vassed the lists of doubtful members,
however, which in the minds of some
men runs to seven or eight, and drew
the conclusion that they might get the
needed votes after few days further
debate. Then it was that the decision
was reached to make an effort to press
the treaty to a vote during the coming
week.
1t is not believed that any effort to
secure a test vote will be successful
for there are Senators who refuse to
be hurried. Some have maintained
their position Of being unconvinced
throughout the entire debate, while
there are others whose utterances have
given the men on both sides of the
chamber reason to include their names
in the lists of both supporters and
opponents. There is no disposition on
the part of the friends of the treaty to
permit any vote unless they are rea-
sonably sure of success.
One Senator said today: "We will
never return the treaty to the Presi-
dent, but will hold it until enough
votes to pass it are secured"
Senator Gear today presented sixty
FIVE postal cards from editors in Iowa,
as he said, protesting against annex
ation." A large proportion do not
make a protest, and few mention the
beet sugar industry as the cause for
their OnnOSitiOn

WASHINGTON.
Situation of Treaty and People at
the Capital.

OItudtlOu OI Treaty dld HSOplS at
the Capital.
Francis NJ. Hatch, the Minister Of
this Government at Washington writes
most encouragingly Of the situation of
the treaty negotiations. He mentions
especially the change of front of sew
eral leaders and the very likely prob
ability of the ultimate good effect OF
the positive stand of President Nc
Kinley on the annexation question.
The treaty has been made an admins
tration measure, but not in an often
sive way That this is correct is shown
by the earnest manner in which Henry
M. Teller and other pronounced silver
Senators espouse the cause OF Hawaii.
At one time it was greatly feared that
the western Senators who were one
with the Republican party on financial
policy would oppose any admin1stra-
ton plan Happily the silver element
is not inclined to be stubborn or an
tagonistic in this matter.
In his correspondence to the Foreign
Office here, Minister Hatch writes at
length upon the visit of Mr.. Dole TO
Washington. The President OF the
Republic of Hawaii made a splendid
and lasting impression at Washington
and in fact all over the United States.
At the national capital he was show
cred with attentions by the leaders OF
the Government and everywhere was
rendered the highest honors. Mrs.
Dole was also we'll received and was
we'll liked by everyone.

WAITING ON THE SENATE.

No Change In the House Position On
Hawaii.
WASHINGTON, February 7.-There
is no present purpose in the House OF
Representatives to consider the Ha-
waiian question, and the House lead
ers say there has been no change
whatever in the disposition to allow
the Senate to act on the subject before
making any move in the House. Speak
er Reed would make no public COM
ment on published reports that he had
changed his views on Hawaii and was
now in favor of prompt action on a
joint resolution annexing Hawaii. The
report caused much comment among
members, and to those who made in
quiries of the Speaker he replied with
much emphasis that the report was
unWarranted and false.

Pettigrew Talks In Opposition.

WASHINGTON, February 8.-Sena-
tor Pettigrew of South Dakota was the
only speaker on the Hawaiian annex
alton treaty in the executive session
of the Senate today. He opposed the
treaty. He asserted that the area in
the Islands capable of sugar cultiya-
ton amounted to fully half-million
acres. and said that as the land was
very productive there was no doubt
that all the sugar necessary to sup
ply the demands Of the United States
could be produced in Hawaii. He
quoted sugar and plantation statistics
and dwelt at some length ON the ma
tionality of the labor employed on the
plantations.

Tampa, Fla, June ALI of the chap
lains who accompany the troops of the
United States into Cuba, or wherever else
the soldiers may be sent, Will wear uni
forms with distinctive badge of their
calling on the collars of their coats. Here
tofore chaplains have had no uniform by
which they could be distinguished.
In 1893, at a meeting of the army chap
lains in Chicago, Father Edward j. Watt
mann, chaplain with the Fourth United
States Infantry, recently stationed at
Sheridan, ILL.,, was given power to decide
on a chaplain uniform and to secure them.
There was a strong feeling, however,
against emphasizing the military character
of the chaplains, and for this reason the
matter until this time, has been allowed
TO rest, but opinion upon this subject has
recently undergone a change, and the
chaplains now believe there are many rea-
sons why they should have
distinctive mark by which they may be
easily recognized, thus enabling them TO
be of better service in the field. A meet
ing of all the chaplains present in Tampa
was held today and the matter laid be-
fore Gen. Miles, who promptly authorized
uniforms now being distributed to the
troops for summer wear, a light brown.
on the collars of the coats, the chaplains
will wear the letters "U. s." and Roman
cross in gold. These uniforms will be
furnished on order.

Admiral Dewey's Characteristic.
From the Review of Reviews.

From the Review of Reviews.
The characters of Admiral Dewey and
of his father, Or. Dewey, are in many re-
spects strongly alike, despite the different
fields of usefulness in which each has been
placed. Both have the same quiet sense OF
humor and the habit OF looking at the
bright side of life. Both are the rare type
of man who does that duty which comes to
hand with all his might. The doctor was a
man to be trusted implicitly; so is the al
mirai and that fact has even become a
by-word at the navy department The doc
tors nature was essentially religious, of
the special kind Of religion which Is known
as charity; Or. Dewey's charity began at
home, with his children, TO spread over the
countryside. The admirars has spread
wherever Jack Tar has trod. He makes no
parade Of religion; his devotional books
and his Bible are hid in his cabin where
none can see them. But they are there. The
admiral has won fame because IL came In
the line Of duty. He did not seek Il. but the
custom he had formed of doing things well
made IL inevitable. And this custom he got
