ECHOES Of Annexation
PERTINENT POINTS MADE BY
REPRESENTATIVE TAWNEY.
Annexation by Legislation a Sure
Way-Insular Territory Policy--A
Failure to Annex Criminal.

Instead of annexation being con
trary to the traditional policy of our
government, it would be entirely III
harmony with that policy. The policy
OF anneXing insular territory has Oh
tanned since 1856. 1t is based upon
statute passed August 18th of that
year. Under it Congress has not only
approved of the annexation of insuar
territory, but seventy islands and
groups of islands-the names and the
dates of their annexation | can give
If necessary-have been annexed to
the United States, exclusive of the
Aleutian Islands. Fifty-seven of these
are in the Pacific and thirteen in the
Caribbean sea. ''-Congressman Taw-
ney.
The Hawaiian annexation prop POSITION
takes the form of a joint resolution
through today's action of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations. The
treaty is not abandoned, but immedi-
ate action is sought upon the legisla-
tive proposition. There should and
probably will be no delay in pressing
the joint resolution to a vote in the
upper house. That body has heard
the Hawaiian question argued in eve
ry possible bearing during the past
five years and it is presumed that the
speeches are practically exhausted.
There is no need for time consuming
deliverances. and unless the oppos:-
ton should resort to filibustering tao
tics there will in all likelihood be ~
loss of opportunity in sending the res
olution to the House. That there is =
clear majority for annexation in each
house is not questioned. In the Sem
| ate the treaty has thus far
barely failed to secure the support of
! the votes necessary under the Consti-
tuition for it's ratification. Yet with
| this small deficit there still remains a
| reliable majority of nearly two to one
that will presumably make itself felt
in expressing demand for prompt
consideration. This matter ought 20
be settled beyond question before the
final adjournment this session. The
Washington Star.
'To reject these Islands under
these circumstances, sir. would be a
crime against the American people.
Their possession by any foreign pow
err woulu give to that power an advan-
tage in the Pacific ocean that would
inevitably retard the growth of our
commerce On that sea and be a per-
petual menace to that imperial do
main lying in the morning shadows
of the Rocky Mountains.
"The fruit of the policy inaugural
ed by Webster and Taylor, and so long
maintained by all political parties,
is now ripe. 1t is ready to drop from
the tree planted by the hands of Anne
rican statesmen. We must accept it
or allow If to fall into the hands of

Improved Prospects for Peace in
the War Situation
Tend to Advance Business at Points in the
East.
Returns From the West Continue
to Report Solid Business, and
Markets Reflect Signs Of the
Swell in Fall SaIes-SteeI and
Iron Industry Doing Well.

NEW YORK, July 29.-"Brad-
streets tomorrow will say:
While as yet showing but little actual
effect upon distributive trade, there is
evidence that the improved prospects
for peace, with probably wider markets
for American products, have given a
more hopeful tinge TO the trade out
look, more particularly with the East.
This is reflected in active preparations
by shippers and coasting trade inter-
ests to share in the expected widening
Of demand from the West Indies AS
for some time past, however, reports
of solid business returns come mainly
from the Western part of the country,
and in the markets of that section are
reported signs Of the ground swell of
fall demand. Signs Of cumulative i'm
provement come from the steel and iron
industry, more particularly from west
of the Alleghenies, where slight ad-
vances in prices, accompanying a good
volume of domestic and export busi-
ness. are reported. Expected activity
In ship building is reflected in the de-
mand for plates at Eastern points. A
rather better tone is found in the an
thracite coal trade, in which, as a re-
suit of another one of those numerous
"gentlemen's agreements, prices have
been advanced at the West from pre-
viously low cut rates The situation

THE SLEEP PROBLEM.
Sensible Advice for the Treatment
of Insomnia.

We confess to having little sympathy
with people who can sleep all day long,
though doubtless, as the undergraduate
said, they too are Gods creatures. On
the whole, immense lethargy is con-
nected with a rather low intellectual
development, often aided by foolish par
ents who allow their children to sleep
longer than is good for them.
AS town life extends and intellect is
aroused the problem will be more and
more that of too little, not Of too much,
sleep. Perfect, or nearly perfect, health
is Of course the first condition of sound
sleep. But scarcely any one is quite
healthy, and so we must aid the sleep
less to acquire that which is lacking.
The one great thing to do is to fatigue
the attention; not only to tire out the
body, but to fatigue the active mind,
to quiet the vaso-motor center. and so
drive the congested blood from the
brain. Quiet and regular habits, a
certain monotony of light evening oc-
cupation, will tend in this direction,
while a great variety of evening en-
gagements is generally fatal to the vic
tim of insomnia. 1t is unwise to go to
bed on either an empty or very full
stomach; a slight meal before rest is
the wise course. A hot bath the last
thing, taken under the following condi-
tions. is perhaps the very best aid to
sleep; "As recommended by Eccles and

NEW YORK, July Or. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade" will
say tomorrow:
Big business in January is expected,
but big business in July means more.
1t is the month of all others when
trade is naturally light New engage
ments are ordinarily deferred, and men
wait for the. outcome and movement
of crops. But more business is being
done this year than in any previous
July of which there are records. The
payments through clearing houses have
been SO per cent. larger than in 1897,
the year of greatest prosperity hereto
fore, and for the month thus far %
per cent. larger than last year, and S.4
per cent. larger than in 1892. But these
records and others have to be judged
in the light of heavy declines in prices
since 1892, SO that the volume of bust
ness transacted is about 20 per cent.
larger than the volume of payments
! indicates.
Considering that the purchases of
nearly half the people depend on the
success Of agriculture, and that the
prosperity of the entire trans porting in
terest is materially affected by the size
of the crops to be moved, it may be
said that the reason for promise of gen.
eral prosperity this year is unusually
bright.

and what is far more important. the
consumption in manufactures appears
for the half to have exceeded the OUT
put. Estimating the exports for June,

we'll to remember that in June, when
production declined because of stop

sold stocks was 4,216 tons weekly. The
new orders received are surprisingly
large for the season, covering 5000
tons at New York for rails, and 1O,-
GOO tons for Russia and 5000 for Ja-
pan, with. 10000 taken at Chicago, and
noteworthy demand for structural
forms at Philadelphia, and increasing
demand for bars, with enough to keep
the plate mills busy for long time;
larger demand for bars at Chicago, and
an excellent structural demand and the
heaviest demand for plates ever known
at PittSburg. Sales of Bessemer have
been heavy, reaching 25,OO0 tons at

An Unpatriotic Town.

We do not like to appear before our
readers in the roll of an Apollo but
an explanation is in order. We an
nounced in these columns that we had
enlisted for the war, and would leave
for Dry Tomatoes last Tuesday, but
circumstances over which We have no
control have detained us. We went
down to the depot on Tuesday ready to
go. We had our gun that we shot a
delinquent subscriber with, the hoss
pistol we used last year, when We fit a
duel with the snub nosed wart who ed
its the "Shillalah," a sword, toma-
hawk, a bowie knife and a knapsack
full of underclothes and booze.
A big crowd got around US and we
yelled out TO them, Remember the
Maine!' We was very much astonish-
ed when several persons in the crowd,
who, we suspicion, We're in the pay of
Spain, stepped up to us and said: RE
member this bill before you 60" 1t
looked as if somebody had called con-
vention of our creditors and every dele
gate was there. One of them had a
wash bill. Every barkeeper in town
was there, with an itemized account.
A storekeeper came up and told US to
pull off them boots" which we hadn't
paid for. Our landlord was on deck with
bill. We made 'em all a speech, ask
ed EN- If they was patriots, and told
'em that our country called. Come on
back" they said, "and pay what you
owe. If you don't Wen have you ar
rested for trying to skip the town and
beat your creditors
OF course. We seed through it airs 1t
was Spanish conspiracy to keep us at
nome; but what could we do? Well,
We're here to stay now, and there's GO
ing to be war at home. We will take
the pauper's oath to all them bar bills,
and We are going to have all the sa-
looms indicted for violating the four
mile law; and, hereafter, when we want
liquor, We're going to Memphis and
place ourselves in the hands of our
friends. Patriotism is as dead as a

A Clerical Justification.

One who ministered in the only mag
nlncent church north of the Tweed,
being in Rome, had a private inter-
view with the Pope. When he came
back, he was severely catechised
whether he had knelt down to the Son
OF Perdition- Yes, I did. And 1 am
prepared to justify it. Kneeling. in
scotland, has no religious significance.
Ihat was all right. But if, while the
Pope was speaking to me, had loung-
ed and stared about me, and frequently
yaWned and looked in any direction
save that of his holiness, that would
nave been most improper in a minis
ter of the kirk. For that would have
been adopting, in speaking to a mortal
man, the well known attitude Of pub
lie prayer" Several individuals. hear
ing this, declared that the eminent
preacher would certainly go to perdi-
ton for making such an observation.
But nobody attempted to answer it,
