DELAYING LEGISLATION.
Democratic Members Object to I'm
D0rtant Bills.


portant Bills.
Twice yesterday Chairman Hull, of the
Military Committee endeavored TO OBJ
tain unanimous consent for. consideration
at some fixed day in the future of i'm
portant bills for the prosecution of the
war He explained that these bills have
been unanimously reported from the COM
mittee; that letters are on file from the
executive departments showing that the
proper care of the soldiers on the field
depends upon the prompt passage of these
bills.
The Democratic leaders realize the
necessity for immediate action on these
measures, but obscure members of the
party, seeking brief notoriety, objected
These would-be leaders. all of whom were
conspicuous in opposing Hawaiian an
nexation, are loading their party with
additional odium.
The trouble is that unless these bills
are taken up by unanimous consent they
must be delayed until another call of
committees and that may throw them
over until next session.

tons of the International American Con-
ference by the incorporation of the In

in charge Of Senator Foraker, who tried
to force vote on it just before adjourn

SPEAKER REED IMPROVING
His Physician Orders Complete Rest

Speaker Reeds condition at a late hour
last night was reported to be improved.
His physician, however, told Mrs. Reed
who watched at the bedside of her hus-
band, not to permit anyone to see him.
and when Congress man Hit, Chairman of
the House Committee on Foreign Affairs,
called at the Shoreham and sent up his
card, he was told that Mr.. Reed would
not be able to see him for a couple of

The difference between the patriotic
Americans who, in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes on Wednesday. voted to an
mex the Hawaiian Islands to the
United States. and Speaker Reed
and his Democratic following is pre-
cisely indicated in the resolutions they
respectively asked the House to adopt.
Whereas" said the Americans
Whereas the government of the Republic Of
Hawaii having. in due form, signited its con
sent in the manner provided by its constitution,
10 cede absolutely and without reserve To the
United States OF America all rights OF sovereignty
of whatsoever kind in and over the Hawalian
Islands and their dependencies, etc, etc, etc
Resolved BY the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives Of the United States OF America, IN
Congress assembled that said cessicn IS accepted.
ratified and confirmed. and that the said Hawaiian
Islands and their dependencies be, and they are.
hereby anne-ed as a part CT the territory of the
United States and are subject 10 the sovereign
dominion thereof, and that all and singular the
property and rights hereinbefore mentioned are
vested in the United States OF America
To this the Reed-Baney combination
could only oppose the following:
l. That the United States viii view act
of hostility any attempt upon the part OF any
government of Europe Asia TO take or hold
possession OF the Hawaiian Islands to exercise
upon any pretext or under any condition soyer-
eign authority therein.
, That the United States hereby announces to
the people OF those islands and 10 the world their
guarantee of the independence OF the people OF the
Hawaiian Islands and their firm determination to
maintain the same.
The difference is that between the
courageous acceptance of a necessary re-
sponsibility and the brag and bluster
which threatens but does not fight. Ha-
waii comes 10 us now in peace and quiet
and with the general approval of the civ
ilized world. Five years hence we could
only rescue her from European or Asiat-
ic domination at the cost of bloody
war

meal and rice are more plentiful There
is enough of these to last for six months.
An unlimited fish supply must also be
taken into account, with three fruit har-
vests year, so that starvation is prac-
tically out of the question for all who
can purchase food. The laboring classes
and reconcentrados are suffering, not be-
cause there is no food in the city, but
because they have no work, and conse-
quently no money.
Hotel prices in Havana are lower than
in Key West and the food is infinitely su-
perior Even the laborers are in good con-
dition. being supported by the immense

Next day came the information that
the President of the United States had
killed himself at his palace in New

Mr.. Mckinley has killed. himself at
least four times since the war was de-

he died of it. The first time some of
the frisky Americans at st. Thomas

A paper at Porto Plata, in Santo Do
mingo, soberly announced one day that
the Presidents real name was Hanna!
Then there We're the Spanish Victo-
ries Every time a shot was fired by
either side, the Madrid papers had
news of the Spanish victory, and the
commander of the nearest Spanish ar
my or fleet would wire his congratu-
lations to Sagasta and Sagasta would
make speeches with tears of joy in
his voice, and they would both be over
come with delight.
These things remind one of the feel
| ings said to follow the smoking OF
opium. The pipe fiend has lovely time
while he is enjoying his debauch, but
when he wakes up it is different. The

opium If they ever wake up it will be

Twenty Thousand Tons of Coal.

When. ! was released from Cabanas
was told to be very careful in walking
around the streets at night, but I found
the warning superfiuous. L went freely
around the streets after dark without mo-
lestation or witnessing any disorder The
streets are still brilliantly lighted al
though the supply of coal is running short
There are 1900 tons visible in the har-
Dor and it is said the city itself has 5000
tons. A story has been circulated in Ha-
vana that coal mine has been discovered
near the city. This is done to encourage
the people and is in all probability un-
, true.
AS usual, the procrastinating Spaniards
have taken no precautions, and it is high
ly possible that in one month Havana
will be in darkness, so far as electric
light is concerned.

THE CHIPPEWA WAR OF 1852.

OF Minnesota. Hole-in-the-Day was am
bilious. He planned to amalgamate the
different branches of the Chippewa ma
ton and to drive every p~aleface out of
Minnesota. This scheme included the
capture OF 81. Pau and Minneapolis.
One reason for the failure of his plan
was the refusal OF the Pillager. Indians
