SOUTH AND WEST CONGRESS.

Several Important Resolutions Under Dis
cussion at the Tampa Convention.
TAMPA, Fla, Feb. Yesterday
was the liveliest day of the South and
West congress. A resolution asking
congress to complete its work of forti-
flying the south Atlantic and gulf
ports developed strong opposition, but
was passed. This was followed by one
indorsing the proposed southern eX-
position in Chicago next year, and ask
ing all bodies entitled TO membership
in this congress to appoint committees
TO assist in the work. This was passed.
Resolutions indorsing the efforts of
Tampa and Charleston to secure deeper
water in their harbors came up, and,
after full discussion, they were passed
by a large majority. Next came a
resolution indorsing the bill before
congress creating the Office of secre-
tary of commerce to foster and en-
courage business enterprises. The
discussion narrowly escaped taking n
political turn, but finally ended by
the defeat of the resolution. a reso-
luton indorsing the effort to secure
the completion of the Nicaragua canal
was passed urging that it be done and
controlled by Americans.

COMPLICATIONS OVER COAL.
I,land Placed in Embarrassing Po-
s,tion by Furnishing Us Fuel

WASHINGTON, May "a The send
ing of he Philippine expedition
ships will affect the Hawaiian ques-
ton vitality. Like the Charleston,
the transports must stop at Hawaii
to replenish their coal bunkers from
the great heaps of coal that Consul
General Howard has been piling up
for months.
Ii the Hawaiians allow us to take
this coal without the pretext that
we are using it to male our way to
our nearest home port, as is required
by International law in such cases,
they will stand convicted Of gross
breach OF neutrality that in the eyes
OF nations allies them with the
United States in hostility to Spain.
The taking Of coal by American
ships at Hawaii to make an extern
sve campaign against the Spanish
possessions, it is believed here, will
result in compelling the United
States either to assume a protector
ate over the islands or to annex
them.

TAwNEY ON ANNEXATION.
Belle es the Comm ttee Report Will
Be Taken Up This Week.

WASHINGTON, May 24-President
Mckinley had an opportunity to de-
vote more time to reading the news
papers to day, for there were few
early callers. Representative Tawney
OF Minnesota presented Captain
Hatch OF Minnesota to the Presi.
dent. Mr.. Tawney in discussing the
Hawaiian annexation issue gave his
personal opinion that the report OF
the Foreign Affairs Committee on
the Newlands resolution would be
taken up in the House the latter
part OF this week and time for de-
bate would be allowed. He has
made a personal canvass OF the Re-
publican side of the House and
found 189 Republicans ready to vote
for annexation. About two.thirds
of them, he said, favor immediate
consideration. Contrary to a pub
lished report, Mr.. Tawney has not
represented to Speaker Reed the
sentiment of the House in favor of
annexation, but he believes prompt
consideration of the resolution will
be allowed.-S, f Chronicle.
