TREATY MAY BE DROPPED.
Probability That Hawaiian Annexation VIII
Be Accomplished by Direct Legisla-
tion Instead of by Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia number
of the members of the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations favorable
to the Hawaiian annexation held an
informal meeting in Senator Frye's
committee room today for the pur-
pose of considering the future purse
to be pursued with reference to the
treaty. The meeting resulted from
Senator Teller's suggestion made in
executive session u few days since
that the treaty should be abandoned
as such because of the lack of votes
to pass it, and that annexation be
accomplished through the means Of
direct legislation.
There was a thorough discussion
of the situation at today's meeting,
the result of which was a decision to
find another method of determining
the strength of the annexation senti-
ment. Accordingly, Senator Davis
will make an effort to get the treaty
up In the senate next week with the
view of exhausting the speeches as
soon as possible. He will then at
tempt to secure a test which will re-
veal the voting strength of the
friends of the measure and locate the
senator's now considered doubtful.

THE DIN0LEY LAW.
Comparison Of the Last Six nonths Under the
Wilson and DingIey Tariff Acts.

Six months of the operations ol
the Dingley law show that it is 60
ing to meet the expectations of its
trainers and supply sufficient revenue
to recover the current expenses OF
the government. There has been a
steady growth in the receipts month
by month, until they have now
reached such proportions as to make
it apparent that the law will supply,
under ordinary circumstances, a rev.
enue equal to the amount necessary
to meet the governmentexpendit
and furnish something OF a surplus
besides. The January customs re-
ceipts were more than % per cent In
excess of the customs receipts of last
year. and were larger than the aver
age monthly customs receipts during
the entire history of the Wilson law.
The internal revenue receipts in jan
uary exceeded those of any January
since the Mckinley law was taken
from the statute books.
The following table shows the to-
tai earnings under the new law dur
ing the six months operation, COM
pared with earnings of the Wilson
law during the first six months of its
operations:

LANDS FOR SETTLERS.
1ore Than Seventy Millions of Acres In Mon

The Forthcoming report of Com
missioner of Labor and Agriculture
Calderhead will contain some inter-
esting figures in regard to the
amount of land in Montana that is
still unappropriated. OF course all
of this land will not make farms, but
a great lot OF it will one day be In
the possession of farmers and stock
breeders, and it will make Montana
one of the greatest commemorative
In the union.
The total of the unappropriated

TORE ADVERSE CLAIMS.
Fight for Patents to Gilt Edge Claims Becom-
Ing More Complicated Every Day.

The papers filed in the land office
last week in the litigation over the
for patents to the Peer
less and Plattsburg mining claims,
notice of which applica-
tions was made last week, are very
voluminous and even a cursory in
spection of the adverse claims and
motions filed is bewildering. In ad-
dition to the adverse claims of
Schmitz & Netting and W. del. Ben
edict to the application for patent to
the Peerless lode, reported last week,
the following adverse claims have
been since filed: Frank Moshner,
the Lookout; j. w. and j.
e. Ackerly. claiming the Flatiron;
VIM. Aitchison. claiming the Lucky;
Fraction; HI. C. McEvony, claiming
the Red Bird No. 2; all of these claims
partially covering the Peerless
ground. No new adverse claims
have been filed in the Plattsburg
matter, but Saturday the land Off
GERS rejected the application of the
Mining Co., by their
attorneys, Metz K Lonabaugh, to
complete their entry to the Gilt
Edge lode, and set a hearing for
March 18th, from which action Metz
& Lonabaugh have appealed to the
commissioner. The fight is a good
thing for attorneys, but the end
seems at a great distance.

BRYAN'S FLIMSY PLEA.
Windy willie Attempts to Stem the Tide Set
ting In Against Ills so to or Moth
Ing" Policy.

[Chicago Times Herald.l
With much earnestness, though
little logic, Mr.. Bryan pleads with
the New York Journal not to desert
the cause of sixteen to one.
The journal as we all know, has
recently quite gone back on Mr.
Bryan and bis favorite doctrine. 1t
professes to believe In bimetallism,
but ever since Senator Wolcott in
his famous report" admitted that
"something like 20 to l" might be
nearer the just and acceptable ratio,
the Journal has openly attacked Mr..
BRYAN for his stolid adherence to
ratio that the world everywhere re-
iects. "Ratio," says the Journal,
.is a matter of detail and of hon
esty," a concession that was hardly
to he looked for In that quarter.
In reply to this attack in the
journal Mr.. Bryan goes over his old
formulas about the gold standard
and it's .'evil effects" and that no
body wants it, or ia willing to stand
sponsor for it, and brazenly asserts
that the president and the cabinet
are making every effort to "get rid
of the gold standard"
One can only read such screed az
Mr.. Bryan has published in the New
York journal with amazement.
Did not Mr.. Gage say before the
banking and currency committee
that the object of his banking bill was
to establish the gold standard In the
most unquestionable manner? Has
not the president said that the debts
of the United States must be paid in
the highest and best money the
world affords? DO these utterances
mean an abandonment Of the gold
standard?
And yet we have Mr.. Bryan reiter.
ating In a weak and aimless way
that the administration, because II
favors International bimetallism, is
seeking to "get rid of the gold stand.
ard" Like many Of his associates
he does not seem to understand
what international bimetallism.
1t does not mean getting rid oil
the gold standard" but the elevn.
ton of the silver dollar to the stand.
ard Of gold.
Leaving the tissue of misrepresen.
tations that Mr.. Bryan constructs to
show the weakness OF the gold
standard. we come to the vulnerable
point In his own armor which be
himaelf sees and would fain
Strengthen. He says:
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1898-02-16
our silver plank loses

surrendered our silver plank loses
its force.
Greater truth was never uttered,
anb it is a political prospect that
Mr.. Bryan may well recoil from, for
his personal fortunes depend upon 1t.
Bryan and Organism are wrapped
up in 16 to 1, and If that should fail
good-by to Mr.. Bryan.
But strenuously and even pitifully
as Mr.. Bryan pleads against the
Journal for his sacred ratio, that pa
per meets him with a fact of flint. 1t
thus replies:
Mr.. Bryan may, If he chooses,
stick like an oyster to the rock OF 16
to l, but the stream of the new
Democracy will not bc stationary for
his sake, nor for any mans.
These indeed are words of truth
and soberness, and Mr.. Bryan and
his followers may well lay them to
heart.

none was expected, the status quo is
