ment l made is a true statement. l am

Washington, Feb. 4.-Senator White
continued his three days speech in OPP
position to the annexation Of Hawaii,
in the executive session of the senate
today. He took up the question of Ia
Dor, contending that the Chinese and
Japanese are receiving SIS per month
without board. He ridiculed the pre-
tention that the Anglo-SaXon race
could labor in the Hawaii sugar fields,
and demanded to know why, if they
could, there was so much white labor
on the islands now. He read from
recent consular report to show that the
coffee business was at best problemati-
CAL and even in this work laborers only
receive SIS per month without board
MASTER AND SERVANT.
He denounced the master and servant
regulations now in force in the islands
as a species of slavery; said that coffee
must be produced in competition with
the lowest grade of peOn tOilers, and
that the time would never come when
farm hand on a coffee plantation
would receive the white mans wages.
He also asserted that the Japanese
have the same right to come into the
United States enjoyed by other foreign
erS, and that while contract laborerS
of all kinds are excluded. still there is
no obstacle to the entry of the ordinary
japanese laborer who complies with
our general immigration laws, and said
that if annexation were brought about,
oriental labor would still dominate the
in Hawaii.
ABSURD ASSERTION.
He denounced as absurd the assertion
that trade would be diverted from the
United States if annexation were de-
feated. and said that even with the
present treaty out of the way the Ha-
waiianS would do business with us;
that when the Mckinley bill was in
force they still traded with the United
States. He compared the growing
trade of Japan to that of Hawaii,
showing that cotton, -four and manu-
facturers of iron and steel were fast
occupying the Japanese market.
A FRAUD.
Mr.. White then took up the Dole
government, insisting that it was ir-
regular and q fraud He criticised the
action of President Dole in coming to
at this time, and said he
asked what would have been thought
Of the taste of the Prince of Wales
had he, come here at the time that the
treaty of arbitration was under con-
sideration, for the purpose of infiu- |
encing our action. He reviewed at
length the general policies and the
ories of our government, declared that
the question was above all politics, and
that 1t was step which, if taken, |
could not add to our glory or increase [
our wealth, or be regarded as an evil
1ence of our honesty

LINDSAY AND HIS DEMOCRACY
IMPOTENT ANSWER TO KEN
TUCKY'S PEOPLE.
He Never Was, and Never Will Be
an Advocate of Free Coinage, and
Will Never Resign.

Washington, Feb. AT the opening
of the senate today Mr.. Lindsay took
the floor to speak on the resolution of
the kentucky legislature, asking him
to resign. He had the resolution read
at the clerks desk, and then said:
While this processes to request my
resignation, II is couched in language
which disregards the ordinary ameni-
ties of life AID is in effect a demand
that ! shall surrender my place in Or
der 20 create a vacancy, and thus
make room here for some one holding
political views in harmony with the
author and promoters of the resolu-
tiol.
The substance of the complaint is
that I am opposed TO the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the ratio
Of Is 10 l. and that I opposed the cleo
ton Of the nominees of the late Chi
cago convention, and by so doing be-
trayed the trust reposed in me by my
constituency
The senator reviewed his votes
against silver in the extra session in
1898, which repealed the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law, and con-
ti-ued
Il stand today precisely where 1
stood when ! received the unanimous
endorsement of the Democrats in Ken
lucky. II those who were in accord
with me four years ago are not so to-
day, il is because they have changed
their opinions, whilst 1 have remained
steadfast.
I deny the right of self-seeking po-
ltical changelirgs who were with me
in opposition to free silver when free
coinage was unpopular and are not
with me now when free coinage seems
to meet Democratic approval in Ken
lucky. to sit in judgment on my Dem
ocracy, or to call in question my fealty
to the constituency represent. 1 will
remind those who voted for the reso-
luton that 1 am not the mere agent
of the Kentucky legislature.
This much I have thought it pro-
per TO say and with these remarks 1
dismiss the so-cal.ed legislative re-
quest for my resignation"

MAY BECOME AMERICANS.
Hawaiian Treaty Endows Japanese
With This Right.

Washington, Feb. An explanation
of the position assumed by our state
department in the negotiations with the
japanese government relative to the
status of Japanese citizens in Hawaii
in case of the annexation of the is
lands, by the United States, it may
be stated on the authority of the
officials charged with the conduct of
the negotiations that in their view. if
new legislation is not had, the natives
of Japan resident in any part of the
territory of the United States, unless
expressly excepted by law or treaty.
will have the right of citizens of the
most favored nation after July, 1899.
upon the taking effect of the treaty
with Japan, negotiated by the last
administration and promulgated
March Is. 1895. The department Of
ficials believe that the Japanese now
in the United States are entitled to
naturalization provided they comply
with the terms of the existing laws
and that they are also entitled to free
entry to our shores, the only prohibi-
ton upon Asiatic immigration being
laid upon Chinese.

CUBAN CONDITIONS.
Spanish Troops Worse or Than the
Insurgents.


New York Feb. A dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says General
Blanco has returned from a trip to the
western provinces which. put in the best
possible light, has failed to come UP to
the expectations raised in Madrid. The
Sagasta ministry cannot longer delude
Itself with the false hope that the defec-
ton of few minor insurgent chiefs
is evidence that the lnsurrection is dis
integrating from within Its power of
resistance is shown by the fact that in
such military operations as have taken
place during the last fortnight the adj
vantage has bean with the insurgents.
The situation is, that persuasion has
failed to win the insurgents TO autonomy
and the army has had no better success.
The intranSigeantS have their remedy.
They are now making threatening demon
trations against the captain general and
telling that the situation is insupnortable
and that the only practical solution is for
him to go home.
1t is frank judgment of competent mill
tary judges that the Spanish troops in
Cuba today are in worse condition than
the insurgents. though both the strength
and the resources OF the latter may be
exaggerated.
Weyier failed in his campaign in San
tiago. Pando criticized Weyler but he
has done no better. In two months the
sole achievement of his forces has been
to rescue the survivors of the, garrison
of Guanna- That General Luque should
be driven into Holguin from one direction
and General Linarss should seek refuge in
the town from another direction, indi-
Gates fair degree of activity on the
part OF the insurgents in Santiago under
the command of Calixto Garcia and Rabi.
General Pando has had the extra ammu-
milton he asked for. Everything was done
that the authorities could do for the sol
diers. Nevertheless the sickness is great.
General Blanco's time at Santiago was
taken up in inspecting the hospitals. As
the season advances the fever grows
worse The probability of a successful
campaign in the Oriente this year is now
eliminated from the events which might
help to bring the instruction to an end
and secure the acceptance of autonomy.
This has some Importance when the pro-
gramme of placing greater dependence
on the army is broadened.

John Patterson of Minneapolis, who
is well known throughout the north

emily, upon a scheme to take 100000
men to Cuba and land them there on
the 4th Of July. He says he is backed
by a syndicate of Americans who have
large land interests in the islands, and
claims these Americans are anxious to
cut up their large holdings and dispose
of small plantations to able-bOdied
men They require no cash down, and
all the money the intending purchaser
needs is enough to pay his expenses
to Cuba, which, Mr.. Patterson says,

Adulteration of Flour the Alleged
Basis of Attack.

Chicago, Feb. 4.-The Post today
says: Two gigantic rival milling COM
bines, involving all the mill owners of
the central, western and northwestern
states, are engaged in a bitter war. The
adulteration of flour is the basis of at
tack and counter-movement.O One fac
ton includes the Pillsbury and the
powerful northwestern millers. The
other side embraces the big makers of
corn-fiour, with the Decatur Cereal Mill
company, and the Sheltaberger Mill &
Elevator company in the van. The lat
ter seek to defeat a bill introduced into
congress, it is claimed, in the interest
of the northwest mill combine. The
bill before congress provides that adul-
teration of bread shall be wiped out by
penalty, and that a tax for internal
revenue shall be placed on blended flour
made of wheat and corn.
