HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Senate Will Continue to Hold EXccUtlv
StrSion Until Il Test Vote is Had.

Senate VIII Continue to Hold Executive
Session Until Il Test Vote is Had.
Washington, March o.-Thc Senate
Committee Oh Foreign Relations held ::
two hours sitting to-day in an effort
to decide upon what course to pursue
with reference to the Hawaiian anneNa-
ton treaty. When the meeting ad-
journed the members refused absolutely
to give out any information to the press,
saying that all present had pledged
themselves to absolute secrecy. 1t was
learned through other Senators however,
that the Committee had under conSidera-
ton the ACCESSIBILITY of taking up the
question OF annexation in the way OF
legislation rather than by the means OF
rat1fylnS the treaty and that they had
decided not to abandon the treaty at
least Immediately but to press is CON
sheraton upon the Senate at the first
opportunity.
The present intention of the COmmlt-
tee Is to hold the treaty in executive
session until Il test vote can be had ana
1t lis still understood that the Bacon
amendment will be used for this purpose.
Ii the result Of this vote indicates that
a vote upon the treaty itself would re-
suit in its defeat. the friends of annex
alton Will then resort to the eXpcdlent OF
u joint resolution and will ask the en-
ate to tax up the question in this shape
in open session, with the view of secur-
ing the concurrence of the House. Some
difference of opinion developed i'll the
Committee as to the wisdom of resun-
ing the executive session at all but II
was urged that many Of the Senators
would not assent to the changed method
Of proceeding until there should be at

vailed.

The papers are filled with rumors,
reports aud speculations as to the
cause of the disaster but SO far
nothing has been made public, if
known, which fixes the origin of the
terrible explosion. The country

results of investigation now being

The KlOndybe Situation.

For the benefit of those who are
contemplating joining the army Of
arg1nauts to the Klondyke, it is
we'll to note the warning of the Min
ing Bulletin of the Pennsylvania
State College which says that the
totll length of all the gulches in the
British Klondyke fields which can
possibly be expected to contain gold
in sufficient quantities, to be even
minable, is at the very utmost $500
miles. The aggregate length of the
creeks in which any gold at all has
been found is only 500 miles. As
suming then that this distance be
apportioned to the prospector and
miners at 200 feet of length, the
average length which is allowed by
the government for the mine, there
will then be accommodation for less
than 16, 900 claims neglecting those
which have already been appropriat-
ed by the pioneers and those to be
taken up by the men who are now
wintering in Juneau, it is evident
that there is not much room for the
new comers of this Spring. It is
well, therefore, for those who con
template starting that they weigh
carefully all considerations. AT this
same rate, the total length of all
gulches tributary to the Yukon in
the United States and British pos
sessions would accommodate only
200, 600 claims. OF the latter num-
ber more than 20, 900 are now known
to have been located.
