Special Dispatch to the Globe e-Democrat.

Washington, d. C. June 22.-The
opposition to Hawaiian annexation
in the Senate, realizing the futility
of further effort, is preccptibly
weakening. 1t is expected to give
out entirely before the middle of
next week. The program now is not
to have the House resolutions for an
nexation adopted by the Senate, but
to revive the treaty and pass it.
Under the constitution, is is only
necessary that two-thirds of the
members Of the Senate present vote
in favor of the treaty to ratify il.
A number of the Democratic Sen
ators whose patriotism is greater
than their partisansllif, realizing that
there is no way in which Hawaiian
annexation can be defeated, have
conferred together and have
reached the conclusion that since All
nexation is to be, ii would be de-
cideGly better to have it come in the
form of a tacafy of which there can
be no dispute rather than in the form
Of q resolution. In deciding upon
this course they are also act,la,ed
by desire to preserve to the Sen
ate its dignity as the trcaty-making
power acting in conjunction with the
President.
With Hawaiian annexation an ac-
complished fact, there is nothing else
to hold Congress in session, and the
general disposition ia to bring about
an adjournment at rs early date as
possible. The present session has
been very hard one on the members
Of Congress, and the maj ority Of the
members are worn out with their
labors aud in need of a rest. All the
important war measures have been
disposed of, and the few minor
measures remaining can he disposed
of without any great consumption
of time
The conference report Oh the
Indian appropriation bill has been
agreed upon by the confcrces of the
two houses, and requires only the
formal approval OF Congress. On
the District Of Columbia and the sun
dry civil appropriation bills there
have been partial agreements and the
remaining differences can be dispos-
ed of any time in one day. This
leaves only the general deficiency
bill which can be passed by the SEN
| ate in few hours, over which there
is no controversy, if an adjournment
is in sight, and agreed on without
delay in conference.
Opponents Of annexation again
occupied White (Dem) of California
resumed his speech, begun yesterday,
but, after speaking two hours, yeald-
ed the floor to Mr., Petligrew, OF
South Dakota, who discussed the
resolutions for all hour and half.
Mr.. White has not concluded his
speech, Mr.. Pettigrew taking up the
argument agains: the resolutions
| merely to afford him an opportunity
to rest.

have no doubt, but you will be
interested in letter from me at this
point, and being at liberty this after
noon shall write you at least, a
short letter. 1t will be weeks next
Monday since we arrived here from
Little Rock, where wo were in camp
2 weeks aud 2 days. Ijoined Go. X
at Harrison on May 10th, aud Of
course, will have to stay my full 2
years, if needed. First of all 1 must
tell you that l like army life, while
it has got some disadvantages there
are many nice things about il. We
get up every morning at $50, aud
have to go to bed promptly at $50,
breakfast at $50 dinner at IL aud
supper at 6. We drill 1-2 hours in
the morning, anu tile same late in the
evening. This constitutes our days
work except a few odd chores around
our tent. There are $4,000 Of US
camped here, 80 you can imagine the
size of our city of tents. The out
door exercise agrees with me aud
am getting fat and "sasy". We ex-
pect to be ordered to Cuba in the
course of the next 2 or 8 weeks, aid
then for the first time, we will exper-
ience wha: real waI is. 1 am under
a nice set of officers, and everybody
treats ME well. There arc five prin-
ters III our company, all of whom l
was well acquainted with before
Joined the company, aud of them
1 worked with at Jasper. Bone old
boy, wish you aud few other old
Forsyth boys were with me, you
would like it. We get $3.50 a
month, and there are many ways a
fellow can make an extra dollar on
the side, and l never fail to let an
opportunity pass. We are very we'll
fed and clothed. While we do not
have any pies, cakes or that kind Of
stuff, We have plenty of good plain
grub, such as potatoes, beef, pork,
beans, bread and biscuits, and oc-
casionaly some vegetable. The hard
est part is the bed. We have moth
ing under us except q blanket, one
blanket to each man. Two Of us
sleep together and We have one blan-
ket under us and the other over us,
but person SOON gets used to such d
bed, and don't notice it. This far the
nights are delightfully."- cool but the
days are::very warm, the thermometer
seldom registering less than 100 de-
grees in the shade. To see me now
you would hardly recognize me, as l
look strong and healthy, and am us
brown as berry from being in the
not sunshine. We are allowed to
drink no Intoxicating liquors in the
army, and expect to serve my full
time without taking a drink, for a
person is severely punished if caught
drunk or even taking one drink.
For a person that loves adventures
the army is the place, and believe l
will never regret the day / enlisted.
Should 1 give up my lite in defense
of my country, there will be but very
few to mourn my loss. Should
come out afely my experience shall
always be an advantage to me well
worth any sacrifice l may make.
With best wishes for you and your
family and my other Forsyth friends,
am very respectfully your friend,
James 0. Carroll.

Braun thought he heard some one
walking away in stockinged feet. He
rapped on the pavement for assistance
and two other policemen responded
Braun rang the door Dell of the house
Mary Martin, a servant and MISS
Wakefield, a trained nurse, came to
the door. The policemen explained
that they suspected there was burg
lar in the house. When they learned
that none of the servants had been
down stairs since II o'clock that night
they were sure Of 1t.
Every room in the house was search
ed Neither in the basement OF cellar
could the policemen find any trace OF
the burglar. Then they ransacked the
bedrooms. They were about to give
I'D their quest when they decided to
return to the cellar. Near the furnace

s'Mavbe he's in the furnace, sug-
gested one Of the policemen.
That's a bright idea" remarked
Braun and just to carry out the joke he
opened the door of the hot air cylin-
der. The furnace is built in two ey-
finders, one for the fire and one for the
hot air. Braun sent fer lamp and
peered into the hot air chamber. The
door was so hot that it burned his
hand, and the rush Of heated air drove
him back. At the mouth OF the ey-
Under he saw the feet Of man.
Come out Of there. you salaman-
der,' yelled the policeman.
The man drew up his feet and re-
treated further back into the cylinder.
Braun drew revolver and threatened
to shoot the fellow unless he came ont
at once. A human being. looking like
a singed cat, slowly crawled out Of the
furnace. An odor of scorching clothes
came with him. Beads of Precipitation
ran down his cheeks. The tempera-
ture Of the hot air cylinder was about
two hundred degrees.
What are you doing in there?" de-
manded the policeman.

he made a formal complaint.
II was on a steamer bound from
England to New York last July that
Miss de Stanley first met her footman
and psuedo hussar. Like true lackey
he fell at her feet. But he did more.
He offered his heart to her. and she'
gently repelling his suit, would not say
that she would never accept.
WON BY WORDS.
To win her favor, it is said, he told
her he had served as one Of Her Ma
iesty's hussars. That proved a long
stroke in his race against rivals for
her affections, and when they parted
in New York it was with the under
standing that he should cali on her AZ
her Railway home.
He called many times, aid between
them sprang UP a feeling which re-
sembled love, until one day friend OF
Miss de Stanley broke the astonishing
news to her that he had seen the hus-
sar in a footman's livery on the box OF
August Belmont's carriage in front Of
the Waldorf Hotel. He was such a
fine footman, too, the friend went OH
with gentle irony-so tall, handsome
and sOldierly.

said. Its to a hotter place you'll go

She identified him as the same man

He was identified also by Sergeant Nc

two years ago.
