Washington. May 23.-The question of
the annexation of the Hawaiian islands
has been revived in the senate to a GER

the friends of annexation have been
quoted as expressing a determination to
press the house resolution in the senate
during the present session, in case il
should pass the house. for fear that the
short session would not afford time to
secure its thorough consideration. The
opponents of annexation declare they will

POISON IN DATES.
Attempt Made on the Lives of an En-
tire Family.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 6.-An effort is
being made to solve an attempt to
poison j. w. Pritchard, at Upton, fifty
miles south Of Louisville. A box of
dates was sent to the family and sew
eral of the members ate of them
Medical aid was summoned when they
became sick and no serious results
followed. The remainder of the dates
were sent to Louisville, where they
were examined, and it was found that
three grains Of strychDine had been
injected into each date The dates
came by mail, addressed to Miss Leila
Pritchard. Inside was the card of W.
g. Handley, warm friend of the
family. Miss Pritchard, two sisters
and brother each ate dates and were
made deathly sick. Miss Leila Pritch-
ard was in a critical condition for
twenty-four hours. Miss Pritchard is
II years Of age and the belle of Upton.
In the past month local beau named
Upton has been paying her much at
tention, and this is said to have
aroused the jealousy CT another of her
admirers. This incident is being con-
nected with the poisoning. Mr.. Pritch-
ard will issue warrant as soon as he
can gather positive proof

YOUNG MRS. LANE.
Well-Known Washington Lady in
Serious Condition.

Washington, Feb. Sit is believed
that the wife of Thomas F. Lane of
Summit, n. j., may die, although her
physicians say that there is yet some
hope for her recovery. Mrs Lane was
very popular here as the favoite daugh-
tie rof Senator Blackburn of Kentucky,
and for several seasons she was the So
cial leader. Lucille Blackburn possessed
in great degree the social nature and
natural powers of entertainment which
made her father famous. Her wedding
here on October 1, 1895, was the great
est event of that season, and her hap
piness on that day was continued and
augmented, until one evening about
three weeks ago she accidentally shot
herself by entangling revolver in
some laces just before she was retiring
for the night. A beautiful little girl
born in Paris is likely to become
motherless. Mr.. Lane is almost pros
trated with grief and the exhaustion
incident to sleepless attention upon the
wife whom he passionaely loves.

ticing at the Brooklyn club fer the

addition to this he has done hard
work and played a great deal at skit-
ties, or rapid, off-hand games.

THE TELEGRAPH IN MEXIC
Railroads May Use Their Wires q
in the Running Of Trains

New York, Feb 6.-The Mexican gov
eminent has published an order to the
Mexican National Railroad company
and the Mexican Central Railroad COM
pany, notifying them that they must
discontinue handling commercial and
other telegraph messages between the
United States and Mexico. According
to the government, the railroads may
use their telegraphs SOLELY to serve
in safeguarding the running of trains"
The effect of the order, if fully car
ried out, means that the telegraph
service in Mexico must be carried over
the federal lines. Under a contract be-
tw cen the government and the Mexican
Telegraph company, operating by cable
from Galveston to Vera Cruz with the
Western Union from Laredo and Ell
Paso, all international kilograms will
be carried by those companies.

BY SUBMARINE BOAT.
An Interesting North Pole Scheme Is
Matched in Baltimore.

Baltimore, Feb. 6.-The submarine
boat Argonaut has new mission to
perform, according to it's inventor and
Albert Riedel, student of Arctic eX-
ploration. Both positively assert that
il furnishes the only practicable means
of reaching the north pole, and, what
is more to the point, DR.. hansen has
Endorsed the scheme as entirely feast
BILE. Mr.. Riedel has submitted his
plans to the scientific members of the
johns Hopkins faculty, but none will
&C mint himself either in favor of or
against the proposed undertaking.
The plan of the proposed explorers
is thus outlined: A boat is to be built,
largely upon the principle of the Ar
gCnaut, taken somewhere in Canada,
where the surface # the water has be-
come frozen for a long distance, or to
Spitzbergen, in order that a test may
be made for travelling a hunded miles
or more under ice. When the contents
of the air tanks have become almost
exhausted and new supply must be
had the boat will rise and by the use
of a powerful screw drill or by dyna-
mite break a hole in the ice. Storage
batteries are to be used for purposes of
propulsion. Mr. Riedel is satisfied
that when the pole is reached he will
know it. He believes that there is
an opn sea at the pole, and that mag
netic and other instruments will keep
them informed of their whereabouts
Mr.. Riedel's theory is that from the
point where it may become necessary
to travel under the ice the distance
to the pole is about six hundred miles,
which, he thinks will require but a
short time to traverse.

that there was anything wrong with

Libel Suit as Usual Ends in Favor OF
the Press.

Minneapolis, Feb. 6.-The greatest

come to an end with a verdict of not
guilty. The action was brought by
the Minneapolis Trust company

Haskell, its manager, and John Blan-
chard, its editor, and was a criminal
prosecution by indictment. The jury
brought in a verdict of not guilty
The Indictment grew out of an ed
itorial comment by the Times on the
conduct of the Minneapolis Trust
company as trustee OF certain West
Pullman bonds.

Saturday, during the entire session,
had under consideration the bill MAX
ing appropriations for Notifications
ard coast defenses Little interest
seemed to be manifested in the pro-
ceedings, less than half the members
being present. The bill as passed by

Mr.. McRae (dem., Ark made a sharp
attack upon tie administration, say
ing that he had no fear of war because
he was satisfied that the present ad-
ministration would accept any insult
f1om a foreign nation that might be
offered, bound and foot as it was by
trusts and monopolies. The great
mass of the people, however, would
protect the honor of the country.
