about the place that showsd some

Prompt Action on the Hawaiian
Resolution Desired b ythe Presi-
dent.
Washington, June 5.-President Nc
Kinley discussed the question of Ha-
waiian annexation with several repre-
sentatives who were in conference
with him yesterday. He told them
that it was of the utmost Importance
that the two houses of congress take
prompt action on the resolution. He
added that he had received assurances
of majority of the senators who
would vote for annexation and was
confident that it would become a law.
1t seems to be the general impression
that it will be brought up in the
house early next week. 1t seems to be
the intention to call it up next Tues
day on .he call Of committees. This
plan was presented to Chairman Hit,
of the foreign relations committee.
Members Of that committee are of the.
opinion that the resolution may be got
ten through in two or three days.

The session of the house was given
to the consideration and passage of
bills called up by Mr.. jenkins of Wis
consin, to remove all political disabili-
ties incurred by the third section Of
the fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitutfon. The debate gave rise to-
notable speeches from Mr.. Grosvenor
OF Ohio and Mr.. Settle of Kentucky
upon the obliteration Of sectional feel
Ing and the reality at last of reunit-
ed country. Incidental to the debate
several members reviewed the con-
clusion that member of congress
could not hold simultaneously mill
tary and civil Office. The debate was
brought on by reference to Gen. Joe
Wheeler, now serving as a major gem
eral, and until recently member OF
the house. The statements that some
states were unable to respond to the
demands for volunteers called forth

San Francisco, June 5.-The second

So far no supplies of any kind have

Every Vessel Entering Key West
Question for News of the Battle.
Key West, June 4.-The latest news
at Key West is. of course, that battle
has been fought at Santiago, but this
information comes from New York.
Every boat, whether battleship, cruis-
er, man-of-war, gun boat, torpedo
boat, scout or tug, is 'held up" by the
newspaper launches Immediately after
1t, enters the harbor. All vessels that
arrived yesterday We're eagerly ques-
toned for news, but none were able
to give any. The newspapers have
left the Havana blockade almost un-
covered, it being understood that moth
ing Of any Importance is likely to hap
pen along the north coast for some
time. The Osceola lies in the harbor
with great punches of bananas hang
ing from the upper deck. These and
other fruits came from Cuba, where
the Osceola has been protecting the
landing of the Lacrete expedition.
Those who witnessed the return of
the steamers which carried the expe-
dition have got the idea that Cuba is O
land Of plenty instead of starvation.
The returning people came laden with
fruit and delicacies sent from Cuba to
friends in Key West and Tampa.

IN SECRET SESSION.
The Senate Discusses the Hawaiian
Annexation Question.


Annexation Question.
The senate remained in secret legis-
lative session for three hours yester-
day. The entire time was given to a
rather free discussion of the Hawaiian
question, based on motion declaring
1t to be the sense of the senate that the
question of annexation should not be
discussed in open session. At the con-
viva voce not to pursue the subject
further except behind closed doors.
Senator Lodge did not press the sub
ject or his speech after the public was
excluded, but other senators in favor
of prompt action spoke, the speeches
Of Messrs. Chandler and Morgan being
the most prominent in this direction.
Washington, June 2.-Marked prog
ress was made by the senate toward
the final disposition of the war reve-
nue. measure. The committee amend
ments on nearly sixty pages of the
bill were passed and the senate nearly
reached the principal questions Mt is
sue between the contracting parties.
These remaining questions have al
ready been discussed pretty thorough
~ and, aside from few set speeches
yet to be delivered, will not arouse
probably more than desultory debate.
The interest of the session conferred on
the amendment of Mr.. German levy
ing tax of one-quarter of per cent
upon the gross receipts Of II corpora
t1ons doing business exceeding $780,
600 year. BY direct vote upon it
the amendment was reected-27 to "a.
Mr.. Pettigrew Of South Dakota offered
the German amendment with the
clause containing the $25O,OOO excmp-
ton stricken out,
but 1t Was Defeated
by a vote Of % to 81. Mr.. White Of
California then proposed the German
amendment so modified that it leves
tax OF one-quarter of 1 per cent upon
all corporations engaged in the REIN
Ing of sugar or petroleum. The SEN
ator explained that he desired to see
tax levied on the American sugar
trust and Standard Oil company. The
amendment prevailed by a vote of 80
to rs. 1t was supported by % Demo-
Gratis, Republicans, 5 Populists and 2
silver Republicans, and opposed by "a
Republicans and 2 Democrats.
Speeches We're made by Mr.. Chandler,
Mr.. Hoar and Mr.. Bate. Mr.. Chandler
devoted almost his entire time to dis
cussion of the financial question, advo-
eating the issue of bonds and the coin
age of the silver seigniorage. and op-
posing the issue of legal tender notes.
Mr.. Hoar attacked some of the state.
ments made by Mr.. Chandler. Mr..
Bate dealt with the general provisions
OF the bill from a Democratic stand
point.

work of preparing the army for the
campaign continues with undated
yigor, until the fate of the powerful
Spanish feet is settled no orders for
the invasion Of Cuba are expected.
Admiral Cervera is apparently the
unknown quantity in this problem Of
war. When he is disposed of it is
probable the opportunity the army has
so long waited for will come, and come
quickly. COLI. X. Dorst, who was in
charge of the recent expedition on the

Pitiable I'm the Extreme.
When the steamer Florida reached
Point Barnes, on the north coast of
Cuba, where the supplies of arms, am
munition and provisions were landed,
it was met by crowd of perhaps 300
paciticos, many of them emaciated to
i The last extremity by long privation.
Nearly half Of these unfortunates
were women, and, according to Col.
Dorst, scarcely one of them had more

WORK Of CONGRESS

Washington, June L. Another day
Inns been passed by the senate in fruit
less discussion of the war revenue
measure. Not the slightest material
progress was made toward disposing
of the bill. Speeches were made by
Mr.. Mason Of Illinois, Mr.. Lodge of
Massachusetts and Mr.. Elkins of West
Virginia. Mr.. Mason strongly advo-
Gated an amendment to the bill placing
a tax upon wheat flour adulterated
either with clay or with corn flour,
and presented q long statement by the
National Association of American
Millers in support of his contention.
Mr.. Lodge had intended to defend his
action in Offering the Hawaiian annex
alton resolution as an amendment to
the pending bill, but refrained be-
cause, he said, a secret session would
be demanded If that discussion was
started. After commenting somewhat
severely upon the arrogance of the
minority which prevented action upon
question which the administration
and n majority of both branches of
congress desired to dispose of, he be-
gan discussion of some questions
arising out Of the present war. Evil
IDENTIFY believing this not proper sub
ject for public discussion Mr. Turpie
forced secret legislative session. In
the open session that followed Mr..
Elkins discussed the general features
of the pending bill, opposing the cor
poration tax, the tax on bank deposits
and the issue of greenbacks, and
strongly advocated the issue of bonds.
In the Houae.
The house passed q bill authorizing
the construction of railway bridge
across Lake st. Francis, near Lake
City, Ark; also concurrent resolution
directing the commission now codify-
ing the criminal laws to prepare and
submit code of civil law and pro-
cedure for Alaska. A number of pri-
vate bills were passed and the house.
in committee of the whole, considered
q bill authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to keep open during June and
July this year such life saving sta
tions on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
as he might deem advisable. The bill
was urged by the secretary of the
navy, providing for the continuance in
the months named Of an important ad-
| junct to the naval and coast signal
service in making efficient the patrol
service. After som desultory discus
sion the bill was amended to carry
$4,000 instead of $125,OOO, and then
| passed.
