Judiciary building was the fear
expressed by a juror attending
court for the safety of the floor of
the main courtroom. 1t was
known that the ioists supporting
the floor at the opposite end Of
that wing, then under the law
library, were upon investigation a
few years ago found to be rotten
and worm eaten. The juror drew
attention to the vibration of the
courtroom floor when persons
walked over it. Too much care
cannot be exercised over the
stability of the floors of all Assem-
bly, places. A terrible warming to
other towns befel the city of Lon.
don in Canada on the third of
January. There was a large
gathering in the city hall to hear
election returns. In the midst of
tramping of feet when a popular
speaker was called forward, Il por

Just before the tide turned 10 favor
of annexation, that the bitches
that had occurred were due to fear
that Hawaii would be admitted as
n State - if not now, prematurely
in the early future. whenever the
act would seem to offer the advan.
tage OF added strength in Con.
gress to one of the great par
ties. Senator Morgan has made
statement to reassure thu objec
tors on that ground, among whom
were included such influential
men as Senator Hoar and Speaker
Reed of the House. 1t was stated
by Senator Morgan that the only
persons in Hawaii that he had
heard of who desired statehood
were some of the leading Portu
guese. He had heard of but few
people in the United States who
advocated it. while the treaty made
no provision looking to statehood.
They seemed to be in no
hurry to make States of ter
ritories acquired from Mex
leo, although their treaties with
that republic expressly provided
for their early admission as States.
The correspondent forwarding
Senator Morgan's interview says
that the objection Senator Hoar
had to the treaty, in which Speak.
er Reed concurred, was that, while
it makes no provision for state
hood, now or at future time, it
makes no provision against it.
Both these leaders fear,it is added,
exactly what Senator Morgan
passes over lightly, that some pc.
litical party would agitate such
a step for mere party advantage.
Further, it is stated: There has
been an impression in Washing
ton that friends Of annexation
would oppose any movement
towards letting Hawaii in with

KEY WEST, Fla, May 20-Over forty
cases Of ammunition were found to-day on
the Spanish steamer Argonauta captured
during the first days of the war. 1t was on
board this steamer that Lieutenant Colonel
Corteio VIEWERS brother-in-law, was cap
tured with other Spanish soldiers now pris-
ouers in Fort Mcpherson, Atlanta. The dis
coyery Of the war supplies on board the
Argonauta will not change the status of her
case before the prize court, as 1t had al
ready been decided to-day before learning
of the find, that the steamer was legitimate
ly a prize of war, no claims having been
filed by the owners of the ship or cargo. A
like decision was rendered in the cases OF
the steamer Ambrosio Bolivar and the
schooners Candidita, Matilda and Sophia.
The only formality remaining to make these
vessels the absolute property of the United
States is the confirmation by the Federal
Court authorities of the findings Of the prize
commission.
The cases of the Buena Ventura, the first
capture of the war, and the Pedro, Catalina

The barkentine Carlos F. Rosas, $50 tons,
captured by the New York off Havana on
Tuesday, was brought in here to-day by a
petty officer and a prize crew. She had on
board a cargo of garlic and jerked beef.
The contraband found on the Argonauta
to-day was discovered in a secret chamber
in the hold of the steamer. There were if
teen cases of ammunition, over a hundred
Nauser rifles and other war stores The find
was made by the United States marshaPs
officers. The Argonauta was taken three
weeks ago by the United States gunboat
Nashville, off Cienfuegos. The reports that
several new Spanish prizes were being
brought in to-day are unfounded.
