HA W ALL.
Foreign Relations Committee OF the
Senate Holds Secret Session to
Discuss the Treaty.

Washington, March 5.-The Senate
committee on foreign relations held
a two hours sitting to-day in an effort
to decide upon what course to pursue
with reference TO the Hawaiian annex
alton treaty. When the meeting ad-
journed the members refused absolute
ly to give out any information to the
press, saying that all present had
pledged themselves to absolute Sc
crecy.
1t was learned through other SEN
ators, however, that the committee
had under consideration the advis-
ability of taking up the question of
annexation in the way Of legislation
rather than by the means of ratifying
the treaty, and that they had decided
not to abandon the treaty at least i'm
mediately, but to press its consdera-
ton upon the Senate at the first oppor-
tunity. They declined to say even to
Senators what might be their course
later, combining themselves to the dec
laratiOn that they would seek to have
the Senate go into executive session
again for the consideration of the
treaty as soon as the appropriation
bills could be gotten out of the way.
The present intention of the COM
mittee is to hold the treaty in eXecu-
tive session until a test vote can be
secured, and it is still understood that
the Bacon amendment will be used for
this purpose. If the result of this vote
indicates that vote upon the treaty
itself would result in its defeat, the
friends of annexation will then resort
to the expedient of a joint resolution
and will ask the Senate to take up the
question in this shape in open session
with the view of securing the concur
renee Of the House
Some difference of opinion develop
ed in the committee as to the wisdom
of ,resuming the executive sessions at
all, but it was urged that many Of the
Senators would not assent TO the
changed method Of proceeding until
there should be at least q test vote on
the treaty itself, and this view is I'M
derstood to have prevailed.

Some Requirements that will be Found
Indispensable.

The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispen-
sable is bread or biscuit And to
make the bread and biscuit, either in
the camp or upon the trail. yeast can
not be used-it must be baking pow
der; and the powder manufactured by
the processes OF the Royal Baking
Powder Company, miners and pros
pectors have learned, is the only one
which will stand in that peculiar
climate of cold and dampness and
raise the bread and biscuit satisfac-
torily
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska
and the Yukon country to know, for
should he be persuaded by some out
filter to take one of the cheap brands
of baking powder, it will cost just as
much to transport it, and then when
he opens it for. use, after all his labor
in packing it over the long and diff
ficult route. he will find a solid caked
mass or a lot of spoiled powder. with
no strength and useless. Such a mis-
take might lead to the most serious
results. Alaska is no place in which
to experiment in food, or try to econo-
miZe with your stomach. For use in
such a climate. and under the trying
and fatiguing conditions of life and
labor IN that country. everything must
be the best and most useful and above
all it is imperative that all food sup
plies shall have perfect keeping quail
tiles 1t is ahsured to convey over
such difficult and expensive routes an
article that will deterioate in transit.
or that will be found when required
for use TO have lost a great part Of its
value
There is NO better guide to follow
in these matters than the advice Of
those who have gone through similar
experience Mr. McQuesten. who is
called "the father of Alaska" after an
experience of years upon the trail, in
the camp, and in The use of every
kind of supply. says: I'VE find in
Alaska that the importance of a pro-
per kind of baking powder cannot be
overestimated. A miner with can of
bad baking powder is almost helpless
in Alaska We have tried all sorts,
and have been obliged to settle down
to use nothing but the Royal 1t is
stronger and carries further. but above
all things, il is the only powder that
will endure the severe climate changes
of the arctic region
II is for the same reasons that the
Z. S. Government in its relief expedi-
tons ard pearv The famous arctic
traveller have carried the Royal Bak-
inc Powder exclusively
The ROYAL Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose its strength either on
board ship or in damp climates, and
is the most highly concentrated and
efficient Of leavening agents. Hence
il is indispensable TO every Alaskan
outfit It can be had OF any of the
trading COMPANIES in Alaska hut
should the miner procure his supplies
before leaving he should resist every
attemnt Of the outftter to palm off
unon him any Of the other brands Of
baking nowder for they will spoil and
prove the cause Of great disappoint-
ment and trouble.
