WAsHINGToN WHsPERINGS. Bya vote
of 209 to 81 the House of Representatives,
June 18th, adopted the Newlands resou-
lions providing for the annexation OF Ha-
wall. The debate which had continued
without interruption since the 18th, was
one of the most notable of this Congress,
the proposed annexation being considered
of great commercial and strategic impor-
lance by its advocates, and being looked
upon by its opponents as involving
radical departure from the long established
policy of this country. and likely to be
followed by the Inauguration of pro
bounced policy of colonization, the aban-
donment of the Monroe doctrine and parti-
cipation in international wrangles More
than fifty members participated in the
debate. From a party standpoint -he
result was awaited with the keenest inter
est. The vote in support Of the resolu-
tons was made up Of ITO Republicans, is
Democrats Populists and 1 FusioniSts.
The vote against annexation comprised II
Democrats. , Republicans, I Populists and
4 Fusionsts. The claims OF Canadian

The Sailors Friend.

This would be better world if all men
who have made their mark in it had made
it to as good purpose as Samuel Plmsoll
did. He made his on the outside of the
merchant vessels of Great Britain-the
''Plimson mark on the load line-where
any one can see it, and know that the
vessel that keeps it in sight is not loaded
deeper than the law permits. He died in
England on June 3, seventy four years
old. The services which earned him the
name of ''the sailors friend We're lone
continued, and pursued with devotion
and at great cost of time and money. In
1858 he went into business in London
and doubtless in course of his own affairs
became acquainted with the methods of
ship owners, for when he was sent to
Parliament from Derby in 1865 he set
about the reform of the shipping laws
and in particular the prevention Of over
loading. Deckloadng was prohibited bv
British law from 1888 to 1868 Then the
restriction was removed MI Plimsoll
demonstrated, in 1873, that the loss Of
life at sea had been quadrupled in con
sequence of the removal Of the restric-
ton. He spent $50, 600 in his investiga-
tons, and earned the gratitude of sailors
and the respect of all good men.

To tell of the good times enjoyed at this
camp would fill large volume. On one
occasion A. A. Howes and Calvin Hervey
were going to the foot of the lake fishing,
and not caring to get their boat out of the
boat house they took one owned by Mr.,
Pitcher that lay at the landing, and on
the return concluded that it was a much
easier rowing boat than the one belong
ing to the camp. They expatiated on this
a good deal. while some of their associ-
ates We're not willing to concede it. Final

less time than 5. A. Howes and W. e.

boat. The challenge was accepted, the
loser to pay for supper for all hands, and
preparations for the race went on. 1t
is said that Messrs. Howes and Frye used
to Slip out to the pond occasionally to
practice and they devised a steering gear
for their boat that could be worked with
the feet. As the story is told now the
other crew did not 90 into training. The
day of the race the boats were literally
daubed with soft soap to facilitate their
passage through the water, and when
ready fol tile race the contestants were
stripped to the buff down to the waist.
Ii. G. O. Washburn was the starter and
Nehemiah Abbott the Judge. The word
'.go' was given, but the Howes- Hervey
crew made bad start, heading across in
stead OF nip the pond, and when they got
on the course again and tried to overhaul
their opponents they found themselves
completely pumped ont and the Howes-
Frye crew had an easy victory. Butts. a.
Howes was so much exhausted by his ex-
eltious that lie had to he carried from the
