the three. The six white children who
were In attendance during the entire
school year did good work. though
they were not far advanced. II was

Washington. June 13.-Before pro-

the House to-day passed Senate bills
granting American registers to the
steamships Victoria, Olympia, Arizona.
Columbia, Argyle, Tacoma and Ar
cadia.
Mr.. Newlands then addressed the
House In advocacy of annexation. The
pending resolutions were introduced
by him.
Mr.. Bell followed, opposing the reso.
lutions. He attacked the existing re-
public as being an oligarchy, and the
offer OF the Islands for annexation as
being made by a few and In utter dis
regard of the wishes of the vast ma
Jority Of the people who reside In the
islands. He contended for the right OF
nll people to be governed In accordance
with their will. Continuing, Mr.. He'll
argued that the population was undc-
sirable and that the location OF the Is.
lands In the tropical climate made II
unlikely that n people resident there
would ever be desirable Ms n com,

conduct OF American missionaries and

ARMY SUPPLIES.
TREMENDOUS QUANTITY RE-
QUIRED.
Millions Of Dollars Worth Of Clothing
Must Be Furnished at Onoc.

The most interesting scene Of MILL
tary activity In New York is the army
building down on lower Broadway,
where Colonel John B. Fury Of the
quartermaster's department has his
headquarters, and with large force
OF assistants Is working night and day
to provide equipments for the 100000
volunteers and regulars that need to
he clothed and sheltered. Contracts
for about $4,OOO,OOO worth Of supplies
have already been let and are being
filed with an energy that no country
but the United States could display
These include 1,0O0,0O0 yards Of blue
kersey, 1,000,0OO yards of blouse fan
mel, 1,OO0,000 yards of shirting flannel,
1,OOO,0OO yards of lining flannel, l.
25O,OOO yards of cotton duck for
trousers and tents, 1,250,00O yards Of
cotton drilling for shelter tents, 20O,-
600 forage caps, G2.300 buckskin
gauntlets, 25,OOO white cork helmets,
100000 pairs of shoes, 100000 rubber
blankets, 10000 campaign hats, 5O0,-
600 woolen blankets, 125000 dark
brown canvas hats and $25,0OO to $780,
600 worth Of spool cotton, sewing silk
and thread.
Such things as socks, underwear of
various weights and all the inciden-
tails of a soldiers clothing have also
been contracted for in like proportion.
Many OF these contracts have already
been filed. Some of them are by
stipulation to be filed partly almost
mt once and in full mt the earliest pos
slble dates. The most distant date of
fulfillment borne by any contract is
October list.
A famous general once said: 1.-THE
feet Of an army win its battles" Just
how far this Is true only the experts
know. 1t is certain, however, that
the utmost care is taken to get the
most comfortable and durable shoes
for the United States soldiers that skill
can produce and that money can buy.
The quartermaster generals specif-
cations for the contractors who make
the army shoe cover four pages of
small type. The last on which the
shoes are made is prescribed by the
quartermaster general, and inspectors
are placed In the factories to see that
the contractors conform strictly to the
specifications. The result is that the
United States soldiers wear the best
hand-sewed shoes. Experts declare
that NO better shoe is made In the
world. The government pays from
$1921s to S2.371a pair for tens Of
thousands Of pairs Mt n time. The
same system Of definite specifications
and rigid inspection is followed in the
case Of every supply contracted for by
the Quartermaster generals depart
ment. On Saturday next bids will be
opened at Philadelphia for S3,0O0,UOC
more of similar supplies.

MISS REELS OFFICE.

Well Qualified for the Place.


Well Qualified for the Place.
Protests have been received at the In
terior Department against the removal
Of DR.. Hailmann, superintendent Of In
dian schools, and the appointment Of
Miss Estelle Reel as his successor.
Most of them come from educational,
philanthropic and religious organiza-
tions, Indian Right soclties and other
bodies which are taking active part In
Indian education. But the change In
the office has not been made without
careful deliberation and n thorough in
vestigatiOn Of the qualifications Of the
persons and interests involved. From
an educational standpoint DIR. Hall
mann has had the entire confidence Of
the department, but as an executive Of
ficer he has been decided failure. His
efficiency on the technical side Of the
work has been demonstrated beyond
question, but upon the practical side he
Is said to be weak. His theories COM
mend themselves, and the essays he
has read and the lectures he has deliv-
cred on Indian education have called
for much favorable comment. But at
the same time II is explained that DIR.
Hailmann has failed In some very i'm
pOrtant features Of his work, and has
shown more interest in the general
welfare than in the Individual affairs
of the schools. Some Of them he has
never visited, although he has been In
office four years-Chicago Record.

A FAMILY FAILING.
The struggle with Heredity. 4
The Right Side of the Color Line.

TO heredity, to the transmission of
traits from sire to son, we owe most OF the
Possibilities of growth and deveiopme ent.
II each newly born being started out anew,
without the force OF heredity the level
Of life might be expected to be that of the
digger Indian or Dnshman. Naturally bad
traits descend like the good. Pcculiarities
OF feature, excentricities of speech and
manner, birth marks, etc, are handed
down just as surely as manual dextcrity,
physical beauty, mathematical ability,
and the mental and moral qualities In
general. "A curious example of this de
scent Of family traits is furnished by Mrs.
Maggie Pickett, Canton, Ca, in whose
family gray hair was hereditary. She
writes:
"Gray hair Is hereditary In our family.
As long as can rceolieet, my mothers hair
has been gray. About twelve years ago.

I resolved to try Ayers Hair Vigor, and
after using u only a few times my hair
was restored to its natural color. ] still
use this dressing occasionally, a bottle
lasting me quite a while; and though over
forty years of age, my hair retains its
youthful color and fuliness. To all who
have faded and gray hair, would heartily

authorities made the announcement
for the reason that the time for secre

made sure that the path was clear be-
fOre 1t, and that no possible menace
could come from the Spanish ships or
troops, even should the enemy know
that our forces were now advancing

cleared the way for this undertaking
and little danger is apprehended In
