Washington, Tune 17.-About Is min
utes were consumed by the senate for
eign relations committee to-day in re-
porting a conclusion on the report of
the resolution for the annexation of the
Hawaiian islands by the United States.
Only two democratic members, Messrs.
Turpie and Mills. were present at the
meeting. and they contented them
selves by recording their votes in oppo-
sition to a motion to report favorably,
showing no disposition of delaying ac-

The fact developed that While the reso-

Wis. and no disposition was manifested
to change 1t in any respect.

London, June ia Daily Mail cor

Manila that the Germans have some
thing up their sleeves. On this point
the Manila correspondent writes: The
Germans are inclined to be meddle-

very chummy. entertaining one an
other at dinner parties and walking
arm n arm everywhere. There is no
question about how the British feel.
They are watching the Germans close.

Financial Review.

New York, June 17.-Bradstreet's FL
nancial Review tomorrow will say: A
reaction in values occurred early In the
week. resulting in more or less iquida-
ton and bear selling and a somewhat low
er price throughout the share list. The
declines. except in a few instances, were
not severe. considering the extent of the
previous bull movement, and the market
soon became heavy and later In the week
gave symptoms of renewed advance. This
was, however, mainly on short coverings,
and one of the effects of the check to
the markets rising tendency was the de-
crease of public participation. professional
manipulation being once more very APP
parent.
London was a purchaser of stocks to a
limited extent on the decline. but the ac-
tive interest in Americans there is small
and the London market generally is slug
gish and narrow. At the end of the week
industrials and specialties were the prin-
cipal objects of trading. The bond issue
and the war news have, of course, been
factors. but the principal influence in the
market this week was the collapse Of
Letters grain operations at Chicago.
1t Is now recognized that this was
hanging over the market for a little time
and was the probable cause for the
change of leading operators from the bull
side of stocks. The actual news of the de-
velopment at Chicago last Thursday. how
ever, was a surprise, ana a disagreeaDle
one. to the street at large. The Western
contingent was a heavy seller of stocks.
and there was a general fear hat banks
or other large interests might be in
volved. which was promptly reflected in
the course of prices for railroad securities.
Indeed. the feeling of apprehension on
this score was not thoroughly relieved
until the close of the week. when IL was
apparently established that the losses
would fall mainly, IL not entirely. on the
chief actor In the episode and his backing.
In this connection 1t may also be noted
that the report of the continued rain In
the West and the damage to crops have
been influential to the bears. while the
continuance of rate cutting. both East
and West. has been held up as an unfa-
vorable element in the situation.

in sections west of the Mississippi Is at
fecting wheat harvesting, but the trade
opinion leads to a crop of O0.OOO,OOO BUSH
els of wheat and large yields of most
other cereals.
The cotton yield may be slightly smaller
than last year. but this might easily be
compensated for by an advance in the
value.
A rather quiet tone is shown in the iron
situation this week relatively. most activ-
ity being exhibited at the West. New buy
ing is restricted but mills and furnaces
are turning out a heavy output and the
banking of furnaces is looked for to give
tone to quotations of the raw products.
Cotton goods, IL anything. are lightly
improved. bur raw wool Is still under re-
stricted demand because manufacturers
find new business slow. The price situa-
ton for the week reflects steadiness. the
only important decreases being In South
ern pig iron, wheat and -four. while hogs
are higher at the West. A number OF met
ais have been advanced and oats, corn,
lard and cotton note fractional advances.
The West and the Northwest continue to
be the scene of the most activity alike in
demand and movement OF merchandise.
The excellent crop prospects in the North
west are reflected in a satisfactory trade
in seasonable goods and a relatively large
volume of orders for fall trade. with the
aggregate sales at most cities heavily In
excess of the corresponding week in re-
cent years.

youngster, he strobe vengefully to

climbed the stairway in search of

Master of a Trade.

There is an old fashioned and, we
believe, very wise idea that every
boy, no matter what his worldly
position, should become the master
of trade So many trades are be-
ing transformed and so many super
seeded by the genius of the inventor
that the importance of this idea
may not be so apparent as it once
was. But we believe it is just as ex-
cellent a notion as ever it was, sim

onakers and Their Hats.

There has been told in various
works the persecution to which, in
commonwealth times, George Fox,
the founder of theSociety of Friends,
and his fellow Quakers were sub
iected because of their refusal to re-
move their hats in presence of the
civil magistrate, but the blame for
this would seem to have lain upon
the local justices rather than the
central power. Cromwell perceived
that it was easier for stupid or zeal
Gus magistrates to send Quakers to
prison for this refusal than to get
them out again, for Fox and his
Friends had almost to be implored
10 leave the jails into which they
considered themselves to have been
unjustly thrust.
1t was this continual persecution
of the Quakers, IN the west of Eng
land particularly, that at length
moved the council to emphatically
interfere on their behalf. In No
vember, 1857, renonstrance, sign
ed by FIVE Friends, was presented to
the council, specially complaining of
the prosecutions at Exeter, and Hen
ry Lawrence, the president of the
council, at once forwarded letter
to the justices of the peace, not only
in Devon, but other counties, deal
ing with the matter. Notes and

is slowness to See a Joke . Growing
Characteristic of Englishmen?
Stories about the dull wit of the
English are told wherever men come
together, a cd one in particular, prob
ably the prototype fof the rest, is
pretty surely rendered in more or
less mangled form as often as the
subject of slow wit is introduced.
This is an old tale of two pedestri-
ans, an Englishman and an Ameri-
can, who saw sign in the middle OF
the road which read: ITO Somerset
shire, ten miles; to Gloucester, five
miles. Those who can't read may
obtain proper directions at the
blacksmith g, two rods up the road. :"
The American, SO goes the story,
stopped short in the middle of the
road and laughed heartily.

the Briton.
Think awhile. Maybe you'll see
the point, answered his friend.
"Oh, seei' exclaimed John Bull
an hour later. Suppose the black
smith shouldn't be at home"
While at first, perhaps, this story
was not so bad, now its only good
Office is that it invariably suggests
some others. At the Broken Shutter
the other night it brought forth
about six.
"I'm glad you told the story"
said the policeman to the assistant
telegraph man. Its hike meeting
