proved its committee proposal that decree

Svasbineton. February 3.---Japan has
been removed as an element in the opposi-
tion to tho annexation OF the Hawaiian
lslands by the United States. This result
has been attained by the conclusion OF an
3 agreement between our government and
that CT Japan as represented by Minister
y Toru- HoshI, which by practically settling
the status Of tho Japanese in Hawaii re-
moves the only substantial difference that
has existed between tho two governments.
The Japanese government, for Its part.
announced some time ago that IL no longer
cared to interpose any objections to ai-
ncxation OF Hawaii Since that time the
correspondence between Minister Hoshi and
the state department has been directed TO
u satisfactory settlement Of the status OF
tho resident Japanese IN Hawaii and this
last point has now been adjusted so far as
the executive branch Of our government Is
capable OF acting independently, the ngree-
meut being reduced to the shape of n writ
ten memorandum. The exact basis Of this
agreement Is not yet made public. but the
general scope OF 1t Is understood TO be o
recognition Of rights of Japanese In Ha-
wall TO cIaIm equal rights With Japanese
in the United States after tho takiug Of

A few weeks ago all the country was
startled by the rumor that Miss Jessie
schley, niece of Commodore Winfield
Scott schley, had gone to Madrid to try
to persuade the Queen Regent to bring
the war with this country to a close.
Miss schley is member of a Society
for the Promotion of Peace. and at one
of Its meetings she was selected as the
person to call on President Mckinley
and queen Christina to ask them to put
an end to hostIlItles.
Shortly after the war broke out Miss
schley went from Paris to Madrid tn Sc
cure an interview with the queen. The
mother of the little king sent her pri-
waite attendant to Miss schley to inform
her that she would be received at the
palace. The next day, accompanied by
a guard from the convent where she was
stopping, this brave. girl went to the
queen and asked her to do all in her
power to end this cruel war. The queen

Chicago Daily News: The agriculture
al department Is again hard on the trail
Of facts 1t asks Postmaster Gordon to
supply 1t with statistics regarding the
tobacco, buckwheat and sorghum crop
of station G. This station, as the whole
world knows, Is In the Very center OF
the tobacco district OF Milwaukee ave-
nue., where also are to be found golden
fields OF buckwheat and plantations of
rlpening sugar cane. We are surprised,
therefore, that Postmaster Gordon
should inform the agricultural depart
ment that II confess the hopeless inn
possibility of estimating the crops.
According to the last report OF the
Milwaukee Avenue Society OF Vital
Statistics the tobacco crop for the last
fiscal year of Milwaukee avenue was
1884, 2O6 pounds. not Including the crops
OF Grand avenue and North Peoria
street. The amount OF buckwheat rails
ed was so great that buckwheat cakes
became drug ON the market. sugar
cane shared the same fate.
But bounteous as a:e the crops on
Milwaukee avenue they do not COM
pare in volume to those raised on State
street and vicinity. 1t Is probable, how
ever, tnut Eull information do " thC
yearly Yield is already in possession OF
the department nj washington.
We have noticed falling OF in the
tobacco crop along the Lake Shore
drive, Prairie avenue and other planta-
tons. The cause is not known. The
buclIWheat In these localities never
looked better and the crop will be un-
usually large. Farmer Armour says he
will have buckwheat to eat next winter
and the Hon. Mr.. HIgglnbotham says
his crop will be the largest since he
moved onto his farm on Michigan ave-
nue..
dIscouraglng signs OF marked falling
on in the sorghum yield. The cane Is

said that the stumpage drew the mols-

cane, the stumpage will be removed.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. August "a
The war department has not yet made
out Its list of regiments to be mustered
out of service. but has been in constant
correspondence with various sections OF
the country upon the subject. At first Il
was thought the demand to remain In
the service would prove embarrassing
to the department, as so many troops
desired TO continue in service. 1t Is
now believed that there has been a
change Of sentiment and the officers
and men OF regiments that see no pos
sIbIlitV of further fighting are willing TO
20 back to their avocations. Some want
ers, It is said, see no glory In policing
Santiago and other captured points
where there is nothing to do. Some OF
the troops are also becoming weary OF
camp life. The First Alabama, 1t Is un-
derstood, has been selected for MUSTER
ing out at Its own request.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-Among
those occupying high official position
with the Catholic church 1t Is said the
amaigamation Of the Catholic commu-
nitles OF Cuba, Porto Rico and other
Spanish colonies, presents no serious
dlmculties,
The frst requisite. 1t Is pointed out, is
% terminate the concordat by which
Spain and the vatican Jointly conduct
the church administration of these col
onies. The concordat Is formal agree
meut, somewhat like treaty, by which
the spanish government and the vatican
carry on relations of mutual advantage.
Under the concordat the Spanish gov
eminent names the bishops to be APP
pointed in the Spanish colonies, and those
names, being sent to Rome, are formal
~ appointed by the pontKf. With the
termination OF Spanish sovereignty in
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Antilles this
provision for the Spanish nomination Of
bishops becomes imperative, and some
system must take its place. For the
present, 1t Is said, the change will occa-
sion no violent upheaval among the
bishops and clergy of these colonies.
They will be left in thsIr places, and
the change Of system will be iHaugur-
ated gradually as those now in service
drop on and are succeeded. The new
System will probably be that under
which bishops are chosen in the United
States, there being no state particlpa-
zion, but merely choice by the estob-
Hshea Catholic authorities wherein a
change occurs, this choice being referred
to Rome for formal appointment.
Il is understood that the hierarchy Of
Porto Rico will at once become attach
Cd to the American church. but there is
some question as to the status of the
church in Cuba owing to the doubt as
TO the exact form OF the civil admInis-
traaon Of the island. While not annex
ed to the United States, the church in
cuba may not be attached to the Amer
lean hierarchy, although Its admInistra-
zion Is likely to be supervised from here.
