ANNEXATION CHANCES.
Reed and the Democrats Are Opposed
to the Acquisition. ~

Washington, June 3.-Mr. Mckinley
knows what he is doing and his friends
declare that to undertake the subjec-
ton of the Philippine islands, the pos
session of the Hawaiian group is an
absolute necessity.
The objection to annexation comes
from two classes of people in congress.
One is opposed to the acquisition of
any foreign territory by this govern
ment. The other, while not hostile to
the idea of territorial extension, seri-
ously objects to the absorption Of
either the Sandwich islands or the
Philippines because their people would
not make desirable citizens. In the
first class is, of course, included all
that element in congress which OPP
poses the idea of making the present
war one Of conquest.
While few republicans only are
criticising the administration, great
number are bitterly denouncing Speak
er Reed. Undoubtedly there is a large
majority of the republican representa-.
tives in favor of annexation. Also
there is majority in the senate made
up of republicans, democrats and pop
ulists, who are strongly in favor of an
nexing Hawaii to this country
Had it not been for the opposition OF
Speaker Reed the resolution offered by
Representative Newlands of Nevada
providing for the annexation of the
islands, would have been voted on in
the house last week
At present that resolution is lying
on the table and it cannot be taken uI
AMI considered until rule has been
adopted for that purpose. No rule can
be secured until there is a meeting oil
1.-THE committee on rules and there can
be no meeting of the committee until
Speaker Reed calls one or until he is
presented with petition signed by a
majority of the house asking that such
a meeting be called
1t will be seen therefore that Mr.
Reed possesses no more power legiti-
lnlately than the rules give him and
lit is within the power of the majority
at any time to set aside the rules.
As matter of fact, it is exceedingly
doubtful if there is an actual majority
in the house for the resolution. 1t is
not questioned that majority of the
republicans favor it, but it is opposed
by practically all the democratic mem
bers.

There is also an increase in Austral-
ian gold from 2,097 900 ounces in the
first three months of 1887 to 2,671, 900
ounces in the first three months of this
year. All this flood of gold coming
into England has its effect indirectly
upon the gold supply of this country
in this way: After sending us what
gold she was obliged to send, England
would have checked the export and
paid in some other way, if she had not
had her stock OF gold replenished by
the unprecedented output from the
Rand and the increase in Australian
gold
America is going to experience an
increase in gold, however, more direct
than this. Half of the Klondyke dig
gings comes this way, and the mines
nearer home give promise OF large
productions. Maurice S. Muhleman,
deputy assistant United States treas
urer, said yesterday:
"The outlook is that we are to have
great amount of gold this year. AS
yet the Klondyke gold has not come
in, owing to the ice, but it is estimated
at $20,000,000 or more when it does
come There will also be large in
crease, from present indications, from
Colorado and other mining states.
am told that the clearing house people
are trying to extend their facilities for
handling and safe keeping the in
creased gold which is expected to pour
in from San Francisco. If they get a
lot of the precious metal out there
from the Klondyke in addition to the
extra large supply from Australia, they
will be overloaded and the surplus
would come east
This seems to be coming at a very
opportune time. The government is
likely to appear soon as a borrower
owing to the war measures, and this
would naturally make money dear and
send interest rates up. This tendency
will be counteracted by the importing
of new gold from the west. At pres
ent the banks have plenty of money
and this year gives promise of being
a very good one"
Bar silver in the local market yes
terday sold at So cents an ounce, al
advance of cents since May 6. The
chief factor in the improvement, loea
bullion dealers thought, was large pur
chases of silver in the London marke
by Spain. Practically all the Offering
on the market are of silver from tn,
United States. 1t follows that it is tn,
United States silver that Spain is buy

New York, June 3.-This year there
will be very great increase in the
gold supply of the world if the rate
for the early months is kept up, and
America is going to have her share of
it. The greatest increase. however, is
reported from the Rand district in
South Africa. The Rand has exported
in the first four months of this year
almost twice as much gold as in the
corresponding months of two years
ago, while the increase over the same
months in 1897 is 3S4,236 ounces, or
