Hawaiian minister, conferred with Mr..
Moore. acting secretary of state, yes
terday. presumably with reference to
the method to be adopted OF putting into
effect in Hawaii the pending annexation
bill, which Is supposed to be approach
Ing Anal passage. 1t is desirable that
the earliest possible notice of the APP
proval Of the bill be conveyed to Ha-
wall. SO 1t is probable that the govern
ment will charter a speedy vessel to
hasten to HcNolulu with the official
news. One reason for making haste is
the fact that the Hawaiian congress
must ratify annexation. and the regu-
lar session of the congress will expire
by limitation soon.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1898-07-01

The state department hopes that some
members Of the opposition in the senate
who may conclude that annexation is
inevitable will consent to vote for the
ratification of the treaty which is still
pending. with the result OF supplying
the few votes for ratification necessary.
In such case the completion of annexa-
tion would be very simple and much
time would be saved.

During the wait for the party to arrive
many stories were told OF President Nc
Kinley by men who had known him in the
army during the war of the rebellion. One
of them, who had been delegate to the
recent Royal and Select Masons meeting in
this city, said: You wouldn't believe it.

almost the field of battle 1t was at
Winchester, Va, during the fighting in the
Shenandoah valley, and Mckinley was then
a major in the army. During the early
days of the war it had been the practice to
organize military lodges of Masons in the
different army CORPS and in that way
stronger spirit of brotherhood sprang up
among the men. During one of the tenn
porary halts of the army in Winchester a
lCdgeroom was secured and a class was
taken in and in it was the present President
He was not at that time considered a pos
sibility for the presidency, and his case
quickly passed out of the recollection of
even the men of the army who were pres

President, however, the matter was brought

that you became a Mason during the war

Yes, it is true. He then talked few min
utes with me about Indiana, and dismissed
me very kindly. Then intimated my dis
like at taking up too much of his time with
purely social visit. He's fine man.
In the crowd was a delegation of school,

hour before the President arrived they were

the corner of Washington street and Capitoi

window of the Statehouse on to the plat

mighty shout of welcome went up and was

coming from the big crowd. For an hour
before the presidential train reached the
city the crowds began to gather about the
platform at the Statehouse. and by the time
the shrieks of whistles and the booming
of cannons announced the arrival of the
party at the Washington-street crossing
there were probably two thousand people
packed in front of the stand, congratulating
themselves on their foresight in having se-
cured favorable points of observation. Men
AMI women of all ages were there from the
boys in the shortest of knickerbockers TO

street. They set up a cheer. President Nc
Kinley came to the rear platform and
bowed his acknowledgment, which called
forth wilder cheering, but the President
seemed tired out with his long trip and
constant speaking and contented himself
with merely bowling and smiling. As the
train pulled out he waved his handkerchief
to the cheering audience. and just as the
train rounded the curve the handkerchief
slipped from his fingers. There was mad
race up the track by men, women and boys
TO secure this memento of the Presidents s
visit. and the fortunate man who distanced
the rest was envied even by those who did
not think it dignifed to race for a Presi-
dents handkerchief. The crowd quickly
dispersed after the train left, the members
of the different regiments returning to
camp on the street cars.

KEYSTONE LEAGUERs.
Closing Sessions of Endeavorers'
Convention

Yesterday mornings session of the
Keystone League Of Christian Endeav-
orers was opened by song service and
devotional exercises. The subject
christian individuality" was present
ed by Rev. J. Womeldorf. Other min
listers made remarks on the subject.
The trend of the arguments was thai
no two persons do the same work III
the same manner, and yet the work is
done proper. Let each Christian be
himself and not ape after some other
person. Gods work is accomplished, al
though the workmen all have different
characteristics.
Discussion on the subject The Key
stone Leaguers i'm Relation to Mid
! Week Services" was opened by Rev.
J. C. Briggs. Faithfulness to the pledge
and efforts to attain a higher Christian
experience, he contended. necessitates
that the members of the league attend
mid-week services
The subject Junior Societies was
presented in two papers, one by Rev.
$. S. Murray and the other by Miss
Laura Buck Childhood, ii was argued,
is the time to begin to train indiNid-
uals for the work of Christ. Minds then
are not yet steeped in wickedness. nor
| lives stained With vice. Youthful ac-
tivity should be early properly directed,
and their subsequent lives will be pure
! and manly. The Past, Present and
Future of the Christian Endeavorer'
! was further discussed. The result of
observation seemed to indicate that the
| Christian Endeavor movement is not
making the progress at present that it
did in former years. This fact calls for
more persistent and faithful effort. the

The evening session commenced at

After the transaction Of some bust
