VIII Pass the schhte.
BY a vote of 200 to 81 the House of
Representatives adopted the Newlands
resolutions, providing for the annexa-
ton of Hawaii. The debate, which
continued without interruption for
four days was one of the most notable
of this congress, the proposed annexa-
ton being considered of great CONNER
cial and strategic importance by its adj
vocates and being looked upon by it's
opponents as involving radical de-
parture from the long-established
policy of the country and likely to be
followed by the Inauguration OF pro-
nounced policy of colonization, the
abandonment of the Monroe doctrine
and participation in international
wrangles. More than so members par
ticipated in the debate. From party
standpoint the result was awaited with
the keenest interest. The Republicans
presented practically unanimous sup
port to the resolutions but three Re-
publican members voting in opposition.
In the Democratic rank the division
upon the question was more marked,
IS Democratic members voting for an
nextion. The vote in support of the
resolutions was made up OF 10 Repub-
licans, IS Democrats, eight Populists
and four fusionists; the vote against
annexation comprised n Democrats,
three Republicans, seven Populists and
four fusionists. The last day of the
debate the discussion continued seven
hours. Notable speeches were made by
Messrs. w. A. Smith rep, Mich. J,
Berry Dem, Ky.) and Hepburn (Rep.,
Ia.), for and by Messrs. johnson (Rep.,
Ind) and Williams Dem, Miss,
against the pending measure. Prior
to announcing the vote, Mr.. Dalzell,
who in the absence of Mr.. Reed was
presiding, said: THE speaker of the
| House is absent on account of illness,
were he present, on this proposition,
he would vote no. The announce.
ment was applauded by the opposition
to annexation. Mr.. Dalzell then an.
nounced the vote: Yeas, 200; nays, Oh
present, 3, as follows:
The resolutions adopted, in a pream
able relate the offer of the Hawaiian
republic TO cede all of its sovereignty
and absolute title to the government
and crown lands, and then by resolu

She hesitated, for low, sneering
laugh fell on the silence. At her side
was an open window, but no one was
visible. She grew white to the very
lips.
Il am Mrs. Barton Chadwicke!" she
repeated, boldly, but the sweet, bell
like voice trembled in spite of her eff
forts to be calm, land this is my

by some trick Of the law, have secured
possession; but it will not be for long.
Believe me, Miss Dinsmore, it will not

the open window. Her face grew ash
en- white, her eyes dilated wildly, and
her breath came in quick painful
gasps.
"Who-is-that-ma she faltered,
brokenly.

saw Mr.. Ardsley lounging upon rus

his lips, and an unopened book in one
hand.

coldly. and now, madam, if you
have said all that you came to say,
permit me to bid you good-morning.
The carriage will convey you to the

AS Lesley turned toward the door, to
leave the room, there came the sound
of heavy fall, and turning, she saw
that Lurline Chadwicke lay upon the
floor, white and unconscious.
John Ardsley had tossed his cigar
away, and sprung to his feet, his eyes
blazing, the book clutched fiercely in
one strong, white hand.
"Merciful Providence!" he muttered,
hoarsely; face to face at last! And

that the day of reckoning is near!"

Novel Disappearing wind Retreat" the
Invention of Kansas Man.
R. F. Bond. of Erie, Kan, has in
vented and patented a novelty in cy-
clone retreats which is attracting con-
siderable attention. He calls 1t a
disappearing stormhouse," and it con-
sists of water-tight casing about nine
feet deep and six feet square, having
bevelled stills around the top and post
standing in the center, the casing be-
Ing into the ground, so that the bev-
elled stills come even with the surface.
A cage, or elevator car, is made to
move up and down in this casing, a
hole being in the floor of this cage to
allow the center post to pass through.
The roof projects over the sides of the
cage about five inches, which, when
sunk into the ground, fits snugly over
the bevelled stills of the casing, thus
making it impossible for water or
wind to enter.
The cage when not in use stands
constantly above ground, and is held
In position by four bolts, which are To-
Gated under the cage floor and con-
trolled by lever, one movement of
which moves all four of the bolts.
When the floor of the cage is even
with the surface Of the ground, by
moving the lever the bolts are thrust
out into mortises made in the sill at
top of casing, thus locking the cage.
The cage remains in this position
when not in use. When 1t Is wanted
for use it is only necessary to enter
the cage, move the bolt lever, and the
cage, being equipped with governor,
descends to the bottom of the casing or
pit.
