IT MAY LEAD TO A WAR |
Morgan Presents Reasons for the
Annexation of Hawaii.
IN EXECUTIVE SESSION
The Islands Command the Commerce of
the Pacifc-The Present Treaty a
Greater Benefit to the United
States Than Hawaii.

Washington, Jan Ex-senator Morgan
occupied the attention of the senate dur
ing the entire time of the executive ses-
sion to-day in the presentation of his
views on the subject of the annexation
of the Hawaiian islands. This was the
second installment of the senator
speech, and when he concluded, feW
minutes after 3 O'Clock, he had not reach
ed the end. He spoke about three hours
to-day and his speech was a general PEE
sentation OF the Importance Of the ISLANDS
to the United States. lie dweit especially
upon the military Importance Of the isl
snds. quoting General Schoiieid and Gap
tain Mahan at length i'll support OF his
position that the islands were natural
outpost for the United States and neces-
sary to the proper protection OF our
Western coast and of our general COM
merce in case OF war.
Mr. Morgan predicted that ii the United
States did not take advantage OF The
present opportunity to acquire the Islands
there would be war between this country
and some other power within 10 weeks. II
was not, he said. within the bounds Of
possibilities, in view of the present Eu-
ropean competition for territory in A ia,
that the Hawaiian islands should be al
lowed to remain independent for any
length of time after the United states
ton not to make them part Of Ameri-
can territory.
Does the senator from Ala ALBANIA mean
to say" interrupted Senator Pettigrew.
that the Hawaiian government would
voluntarily seek the protection If some
other power. and thus forego the great
advantage those islands now enjoy IN
their reciprocity arrangements with the
United States. which results in our lie
uniting to them annually not less than
$1,000 ,o00?"
To this question Senator Morgan replied
that the reciprocity treaty had been me-
gotiated for the purpose of giving this
country cheap sugar. He said that il had
been of greater benefit to the United
States than 1t had been to Hawa /, be-
cause ii had accomplished its purpose of
making cheaper one of the great commod-
titles and one of the necessities of every
household. We want, he said, not only
the sugar from Hawaii, but cheaper col
fee as well, and that and many other
necessary articles could be grown on
these islands.
The senator displayed a number of
large maps from which he oontended that
the islands Were in the roadway of m
merce between our Western coast and the
Orient. and said that all ships. whether
laden with articles of commerce or munt-
tons of war, must necessarily pass them
in going from and to this country and
the Asiatic coast, and thus he said, the
nation which controlled Hawaii will con-
troll the commerce of the East.
In closing he said that failure to annex
the islands meant inevitable bloodshed,
and the responsibility for the bloodshed
would rest upon the senate of the Unit d
States for its failure to perform its duty
at this critical hour in the history of the
two countries.

York and San Francisco successes, as
both have enjoyed extended runs in
both cities. The production that Mr.
Frawley gives is identical in every de-
tail with those in the larger cities. All
the special scenery for both plays is
carried by the company, and they will
present scenic effect rarely equaled on
the local stage.
Shenandoah" which will be given
on Monday evening, is the greatest war
drama ever written. 1t is full of Incl
dents of historical accuracy and they
are woven about a love story of real
interest in q most mastery manner.
The story deals with the late war,
and particularly that portion of the
strugSle-at arms in the beautiful Shen-
andoah valley, showing the famous
Tree Top mountain under the shadow
of which some of the fiercest fighting
of the war took place Two acts take
place in this valley showing a wonder
full scenic effect.
The finale of the second act shows the
troops signaling from Tree Top noun
tain to those in the valley, and is one
of the most realistic bits of work ever
done on any stage. The most thrilling
climax, however, is in the third act.
showing a retreating regiment who
have become demoralized while under
heavy fire owing to the absence of their
colonel, one of the chief characters of
them, of the final great scene of Sheri-
dams famous ride from Winchester that
saved the memorable day for the union
forces.
There is no doubt but that this par
ticular scene has thrilled more patri-
otto hearts than any ever shown, for
when grim old Sheridan on his black
charger. faded by a long run and COW
cred with foam dashes across the scene
is never yet has failed to bring an audi
ence fairly to their feet with cheers that
intermingle with those of the troops on
the stage.
shenandoah is a play that will
stand as long as the United States gov
eminent, for it is simply historical
classic that tells the story of the strug-
gle to preserve the union.
The Tuesday night production, Sue,
presented for the first time here. 1t is
a dramatzation of Bret Harte's
story of Bolinas Plains, and deals
with the life of a lovely California girl
who hungers for a love that she does
not understand. of a plainsman who
loves her and who IS insanely jealous
of all who come within her notice.
To hear or read description OF
Sue" one might think it a border melo-
drama, but instead it is one of the pref
test stories of love, character study
and life that has ever been produced by
| that famous American writer.

Hon. e. A. Stone. judge of the SUI
preme court of Australia, Declares
II have used Warmers Safe Cure on
many occasions, being subjected to
complaints which caused depression of
spirits, and the use of this wonderful
discovery has been invariably attended
with the most satisfactory results
Jai Jai Ram Missur. prominent rail-
road man of India, says:
II was attacked by the fatal disease
dropsy as a result of rheumatic trou-
bles. My whole body was filled with
water and my kidneys refused to work.
/ tried various remedies and skillful
surgeons in vain. At last | was told

of Warmers Safe Cure. and it effected
complete cure, for which / cannot be
too grateful"
The list of names of American men
and women who have been cured by
the use of this wonderful discovery ex-
tends into the hundreds of thousands.
Many of them are very prominent in
Legislative, professional and social cir
cles. Their names alone would more
than fill this paper. Many of them
have been enduring pain, have had
swollen joints, headaches. unaccount-
able languor, dull and indefinite pains
in various parts of the body: have been
restless, sleepless and depressed; have
had lack of appetite, lack of energy
and lack of all ambition: but they are
to-day in the enjoyment of perfect
health. A few names of those who
cordially recommended Safe Cure are
Bishop Wilson, Mr. Jesse Larrabee,
DR.. Gum, Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller,
DR.. Woodbury. Mrs. Willard and Rev.
DIR. Rankin.
In addition thereto, this great dis
coyery has been scientifically analysed
by Prof. $. A. Lattemore. one of the
leading chemists of America and an
alyst of food and medicines for the
New York State Board of Health, who
has investigated the process of manu-
facture, and unhesitatingly says that
1T is conducted with extreme care ac-
| cording to the best methods, and that

blessings of life which good health al
ways confers.

GETTING THINGS READY.
The Relief Expedition VIII Get Provisions
Into Dawson by April.

Washington. Jan. 1S.-Acting Secre-
fary Meiklejohn of the war department
has written TO Clifford Sfton, Canadian
minister of the interior in regard to the
klondike relief movement as follows:
The war department has ordered its
pack animals TO Vancouver and expects
to have the provisions at Skaguay
some time during the present month.
Then we shall probably begin to drag
provisions over mountains and make a
starting place on the other side. If the
steam sleds are a success, they will be
used. IL not, before we start out with
any considerable amount of provisions
We shall wait for the reindeer, which
are to be shipped about the 10th
Secretary Alger thinks If we get pro-
visions along down to meet people COM
Ing out, as you suggest, or get to Daw-
son with them by the first of April, ID
may be in time to prevent suffering.
There is no doubt from information OBJ
tanned through your people and ours
there are provisions enough in that
vicinity TO last until the first of April
The pinch Is going to be from that time
until navigation opens. probably the
last of June. We are doing all we can
to hasten the relief forward"

Nervous dyspeptics often do not have

perhaps any Of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ. in some
cases the heart palpitates and Is irregu-
