The Friends Of the Hawaiian
 Annexation Treaty
ARE IN NO GREAT HURRY
They Hope to Gain Necessary
 Strength by Delay
At the Very Best they are Two Votes Short of RatifiCation-The Week WIFI Therefore Likely be Occu- ped by Appropriation Bills.

WasihiIg gtOn, Jan. 30--The sena e proceedings for the week will open wiJh a speech by Senator Peltigrew dealing with the Hawaiian question, which will be delivered on Monday Beyond this speech it is very difficult to forecast the outlook for the week The diversion occasioned by taking up the Teller bond resolution has left the senate in a somewhat dis0rganiZed and unsettled condition and with no prearrangef programme.
 Senator PetMgrew's speech will be made during the morning hours and the probabilities are now that at it's of the general appropriation bills will be called up. Tine army and legis- 1ative appropriation bills are already on the calendar and the consideration of the agricultural bill has been com pleted by the committee so tha- it will be the first of these measures to re- ceive consideration, though there is some disposition to dispiace it with 'ihe legislative bill.
 Senator Allison, chairman of the committee on appropriations, said to- day that il was his purpose 10 have the appropriation bills considered in advance of the other measures and if he adheres to this de, ,krminat:on the week may be largely taken up with them. So far as can be seen now there are few features in uhe bills alrsady reported calculated to arouse discus sion. There is a feeling in certain quarters that the army bill should be amended by a provision for the in crease of administ straition and if such change should be attempted it would give rise to very spirited debate The census bill also will be pressed for consideration during the week
 In view of all the possibilities for debate and delay involved in these ar engagements it seems quite improbable that the Hawaiian Ereaty will receive much attention, at least in executive session, during the week. Still, Sen- ator Davis, chairman of the commit tCC Ou IOl Ol5n lNIt1dlOIS, duuOuHCtS II to be his purpose to move an execu- tive session for the consideration of the treaty on Monday, but it is pos sdble that he may be influenced by a pressure from senators who have other measures requiring immediate attention, to postpone this motion for a few days. He does not, however admit such probability. There is a growing impression that the friends of the treaty feel that their best course is dn delay, and this is the explana- tion of the tactics so far observed with reference ro it
 There is an excellent foundation for this surmise. They have made a very thorough canvass of the senate and have not been able to discover where they can get more than fifty-eight votes, whereas to ratify the treaty they will have to have sixty. They feel that even some of those fifty eight are not entirely reliable. In view of these circumstances they realize that nothing is to be lost by an informal postponement, especially when it comes naturally through the pressure of other business, and some of them believe tha5 everything is tt be gained by that course.

Washington, May 1o.-There is the
best authority for the statement that
yesterday having passed without a re-
port from Admiral Sampson the navy
department does not expect to hear
from him within several days. The au-
thority for this statement is fully ac-
quainted with Admiral Simpsons s
plans, and the remark would seem to
indicate that the admiral having failed
to find the enemy al the place expected
had turned his attention to an alterna-
tive project. What this is cannot be as
certained. 1t is evident, however, that
the department is under no apprehen-
sion as to the safety of the American
fleet, nor of any vessel of the fleet.

ADMIRAL SAMPSON LOCATED.

He and His Fleet Were Near Cape Haytien,
San Domingo, Sunday.
Washington, May 10.-It is now of.
fcially admitted that Admiral Sampson
Sunday was with his fleet near Cape
Haytien, on the north coast of Santo
Domingo, and distant about a days
run from Porto Rico. So far no re-
ports have come to the department Of
any of the lurid engagements that are
said to have taken place in those
waters, but it is believed at the DEPART
ment that If there was gun firing Sum-
day and the day before, as reported
oy merchant vessels, it probably was
caused by some of the United States
vessels chasing either prizes or the
small Spanish gunboats that are be-
lieved to be cruising around in those
waters. 1t is not believed that there
mas been any engagement between Ad-
miral SIMPSONS forces and the Spanish
ironclad flying squadron, else reports
would have been received already at the
department The expectation is plainly
manifested at the navy department
that something important is to happen
very soon.
1t is surmised that if Sampson does
not strike the Spanish flying SQUADRON
he may strike blow at Porto Rico it.
self. 1t Is curious fact that thus far
the navy department does not know
positively where the Spanish fleet is.
and 1t is just possible that the vessels
may be away over on the other side of
the Atlantic, at Cadiz, instead of being
In SIMPSONS neighborhood In the
West Indies. That such a thing can
happen is plainly shown by the report
from st. Thomas that the Spanish
cruiser Alphonso XIII arrived at Porto
Rico Sunday or the cay before. This is
a protected cruiser of modern type and
1t has been supposed all along that she
was at Cadiz, Spain, forming part o.
the home defense squadron.
The fact that she has arrived at
Porto Rico without knowledge of her
departure having leaked out is an evi-
dence that the Spanish authorities are
able to guard the secrecy Of their naval
movements much better than our own
people are able TO do. Word came to
the navy department yesterday that

A Remedy Has Been Found. That VIII
Cure to Stay Cured all Diseases
OF the Kidneys.

From among the advancements of
medical science, information comes
that formula has been discovered
that will cure permanently all kidney
diseases and their resulting complica-
tions and visiting effects upon the
whole human system.
What makes this news all the more
worthy of attention and thoughtful
consideration is the information also
received that the researches and en-
periments, which have led up to the
discovery of this wonderful boon-to-
mankind. were entirely original and
not at all upon lines heretofore pre-
scribed by medical science.
The new remedy, known as Nor
rows Kidneoids, will, it is claimed.
totally eradicate from the system all
diseases of the kidneys. including
Bright's disease and diabetes, thus in
creasing to considerable extent the
average length of life. John Morrow,
their discoverer, is an eminent chemist
of Springfield, Ohio, and his untiring
efforts in behalf of mankind deserve to
be rewarded with every ,honor that
thankful humanity can bestow.
Morrow's Kidneoids are composed
of well known remedies the full
strength of which are concentrated in
yellow tablet form, all materials calcu-
lated to retard the actions of the rem
edial parts and throw unnecessary
work upon the kidneys, being thor
oughly eliminated. The sensation
created by Pasteur, when he an
nounced to the world his hydrophobia
cure, has been alone equalled by this
preparation.
This remedy has made extraordi-
nary cures of all forms of kidney trou-
bles in most every section of the
United States, sufficient to show that.
no matter where or under what condi-
tions or climate the sufferer NAV live.
Morrow's Kidneoids will effect an en-
tire cure as rapidly as possible, con-
sistent with the nature of each case
and its special demands.
Morrow's Kidneoids are for sale i'm

FAILURE OF ROBERT LINDBL0M.
Wheat Fluctuations Prove Too Much for
the Veteran Operator.

Il
the Veteran Operator.
Chicago, May 10.-One failure was
recorded yesterday as the result of
fluctuations in the wheat market, ard
the man to go under was Robert Lind
blom, one of the best known operators
on the board of trade and president of
the civil service commission. Immedi-
ately after the close of business in the
afternoon he made an assignment in the
county court to the Royal Trust COM
pany as assignee, assets and liabilities
being fixed at 100000 and s125,CCO re-
spectively
The failure of Lindblom was entirely
unexpected, even among his close busi-
ness associates. 1t is attributed to the
condition of the wheat market and the
fact that he was suddenly called upon
during the day to provide margins for
trades in barley amounting to $4,000.
Lindblom found himself unable to re-
spond to the call. and decided to make
an assignment in the county court so
as to provide equally for all his credit
ors. 1t is said that arrangements may
be made with the creditors in a few
days so that he may resume business.
