They are our own kith and kin. Many
of them fought for the Union in the war
of the Rebellion, and they celebrate
Memorial day as we do. They have
gone there under the assurance that
we would guard and protect them. If
we do not annex those islands now
those people will be engulfed by the in
rush of Asiatics. We have no right TO
leave them to such fate. II we re-
ject them their only possible hope OF
escape would be to place themselves
beneath the English flag. Within six
ty days after the rejection of annexa-
ton the Hawaiian Islands would pass
either to England or Japan, and we
should have no right to object. When
we definitely refuse annexation we
must withdraw our ships and abandon
the islands. Some errors can be re-
trieved after their commission, but
refusal to annex Hawaii would be an
irretrievable mistake. If we do not
take the islands now they will be lost
to us forever. 1t is not to be believed
that the Congress of the United. States
will abandon the fixed American policy
Of more than half century and make
such a terrible blunder as this.

DRY GOODS.

New York June S.-The dry goods
market is for the moment satisfactory
in all strictly seasonable lines. The
concessions in cotton dress goods and
prints of a more staple character have
developed trading to considerable ex-
tent. But in w0olens and all lines of
staple cottons there is no activity, and
market conditions are against active
trading.
The weeks trading has demonstrated
some firmness in staple ccttons. The
demand for brown goods for domestic
use is still light. The firmness was
based to some degree at least on the
condition of print cloths. Export goods
are in fairly steady demand without
much feature to the market. The price
situation is unaltered.
Print cloths, though nominally I'M
changed are quite strong The de-
mands for extras at &c far exceeds the
ideas of sellers and trading is therefore
limited. Odd goods are also good
prices being well sustained Prints are
quite active in many staple lines

MINING STOCKS
PRODUCE.

Chicago, June S.-An expected adj
vance in Liverpool cables and fears
that the domestic crop is damaged by
too much rain created a firmer feeling
In wheat to-day. July closed with a
gain of 1a4c and September 11s01Ac.
Corn left off 1s0Ac higher. Oats are
unchanged. Pork closed at an advance
of SC. Lard unchanged, and ribs 2hc
lower.
The chief factor of strength in wheat
was the unexpected advance in Liver
pool cables quoting an improvement in
July equal to Aye per bushel. Sep
TENDER in that market was likewise
higher, but to much less degree than
July. Besides the strength of the
Liverpool market there were fears that
the domestic crop had been injured by
too much rain. Shorts became ex-
ceedingy nervous and there was
an unusual rush to cover, partly to
secure profits which yet remained, and
partly to stop further losses. There
was also demand for the long account
from scalpers who reasoned that after
such a drop as we have had it was
time for the pendulum to swing the
other way. The trade was nervous for
a time and took little note of anything
but the bull factors. Later, however,
it was believed that no real damage to
the crop had been experienced, and
that recent statistics as to the world S
present supplies were really bearish.
The idea of manipulated Liverpool
markets began to take root. the bears
regained their courage and began to
fight the advance. Domestic receipts
of wheat were light compared with the
rate of movement a week or so ago,
but in the aggregate western primary
market receipts were heavier than those
Of last year for the similar day, being
259 Goo bushels against 2OS,O0O bushels
a year ago. Clearances for the day
from Atlantic ports were again fairly
liberal, although not as heavy as the
previous days totals this week. July
began ia @2A higher at SS@S9c, sold
up to S91a, declined steadily to SIC,
then rose to SSc bid, the closing price.
September started 1B@11ac better at
76k@77c, sold down to 76Ac, up to
TIC; off to 75% @75Sc, then rallied to
765sc at the close.
Steadier cables and the heavy rain
fall throughout the corn States last
night influenced corn at the start. The
advance met heavy selling by bears,
however, and was partly lost. Weekly
crop bulletins were not as bullish as
expected July started sc higher at
32k m32Ac, sold down to 3112@31 asc,
then rallied to 32c, the resting place
At the opening oats were firm, but
eased off with corn. July opened Ac
higher at 23cysold down to 23$4c, ana
at the close frmed up to 227s @23c bid.
There was an easy tone in provls-
ions. Some improvement was effected
in the price of pork, but lard and ribs
remained about unchanged from yes
terday. July pork opened 1Oc higher
at $1,000, sold off to $1010. then up
to $1025, the closing figure. The
range in lard and ribs was small.
Estimated receipts tomorrow:
Wheat, "a cars corn. 730 cars; oats,
$50 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.

Bar silver 591sc.
Mexican dollars 491ac.
Government bonds-Weak.

Railroad bonds-Steady
Stocks-The bears secured the upper
hand again in to-day's stock market
through the instrumentality of sugar,
which went through one of its old
fashioned acrobatic performances and
easily dominated the whole list. Its
fluctuations were frequent and violent
over an extreme range of over four
points, and though it made several
substantial recoveries each successive
dip carried it to lower level than
before, and the close was only slightly
above the lowest. The violent declines
dislodged torrents of stocks, which
came pouring upo nthe market in
blocks of 900 shares. The quick rail-
~ indicated that shorts were losing no
time in covering. A realizing move
ment is generally expected in sugar
upon the declaration of the dividends,
but the savage onslaught upon the
stock was doubtless contributed to by
the powerful speculative element which
has been working for a reaction for
several days past to buy stocks at a
lower level than they were sold to
realize last week. To-day was the be-
ginning of a periodical settlement on
the London stock exchange. and it has
been current opinion in Wall street
that there was a heavy outstanding
short account there in Americans. st.
Paul. in which the foreign short ac-
count was believed to be the heaviest,
broke heavily but there was very large
absorption of the stock at the decline
and on the recovery. Although London
sold here through the regular arbi-
TRACE houses, there was no doubt some
buying for London short account
through other channels. There was a
very substantial rally late IN The day

on covering of shorts and in SYM
pathy with the strength in individual
stocks, and later the break in sugar
was ignored in the general list Among
the stocks which maintained a show or
strength in the face of the general
weakness were the local specialties,
including the gas stocks and some of
the fractions, the spirits stocks, Des
Moines and Fort Dodge, General Elec-
trio, Reading, New Jersey Central and
Denver & Rio Grande preferred. The
reaction was clearly the result OF
manipulation in the interest of pro-
fessional speculation, and was accom-
panied by wild rumors. The final hal
ly reduced most of the net losses to
fractions and left substantial gains in
