The Richmond Light Infantry Blues
will give bazaar in their Armory, on

That interesting fact was decided at a
meeting Of the officers held last night
after the monthly inspection Of the bat
talon. Committees have been appointed
TO take charge of all the arrangements,
and the affair will be conducted on such
a large scale, and will be made so at
tractive, that its success is a foregone
conclusion. The full-dress inspection last
night attracted a large crowd of on
lockers. The battalion drilled with the
smartness and efficiency that have be-
come so characteristic of it, and the
band gave delightful concert, which
was greatly enjoyed.

PETTIGREw ON HAWAII.
south Dakota Senator Continues His
Argument Against Annexation.

| WASHINGTON, February s.-Senator
| Pettigrew. Of South Dakota. was the only
| speaker on the Hawaiian annexation
| treaty in the executive session of the
! Senate to-day. He opposed the treaty,
resuming his speech where he had left
of a week ago, and taking up the line
CT his argument in connection with his
assertions concerning the area and popu-
lation of the islands He asserted that
the area capable of sugar cultivation
amounted to fully half million acres.
and said that as the land was very pro-
ductive there was no doubt that all the
sugar necessary TO supply the demands
of the United States could be produced
in Hawaii He quoted official statistics
to the effect that in eleven months Of
last year there had been 1876 900 pounds
of Hawaiian sugar imported into the
United States.
The Senator then undertook TO show
, That all the sugar grown on the islands
must be produced By Asiatio labor, re-
peating and celebrating the argument
that no colonies Of the Anglo-Saxon race
had ever been successful within the
tropics.
If" he argued. I'VE should annex the
Islands, the Japanese would inevitably
take possession of them, and we could not
in any degree check their inroads
under our new treaty with Japan, which
goes into effect next year" In view of
this fact, he contended that whatever
bounty we give or tariff we levy, the
result would be in the interest of Asiatic
labor in Hawaii Senator Pettigrew held
that the result or the encouragement OF
this species of labor would be to the detri-
ment of our own commerce, which. he
contended, is already declining In the
Hawaiian Islands.
He took issue with those who contend
that the islands are in the track OF COM
merce. saying that they are not on the
way TO or from any place or any coun-
try. He held that fleet would be neces-
sary for the protection OF the Islands
If we should own them, and that IL hos
tilities should be begun against this coun-
try with our fleet at Honolulu, we would
be in an awkward predicament
He then endeavored TO show that many
OF our warships do not carry sufficient
coal TO bring them from Honolulu TO San
Francisco under forced draught while
others only carry a little more than
enough for that purpose.
Suppose, for instance" he said, sSan
Francisco should be attacked by an
enemy, and we should cable to Honolulu
for the feet. a cable having been sup
posedly constructed there Many Of them
would not be able to reach our coast. and
II the others should be engaged for
day or two off the coast. their coal sup
ply would be exhausted and they would
be perfectly helpless. capable neither OF
continuing their journey TO San Fran
cisco nor OF returning to Honolulu
1T Is as absurd" exclaimed the Sena-
tor. ito talk OF defending San Francisco
from Hawaii as II Is to talk of defending
New York from Ireland, for the distance
Is about the same"
Senator PettigRw at o'clock an
nounced that he had not concluded his
speech. but would continue tomorrow.
