No; Mary Stuart was "a mans WON.

Both Profit by the Proposed Arrangement
New York, May 27.-The Press says:
One Of the most interesting prepara-
tons for the Quitting of the Manila
expedition has Just been announced.
The government has purchased 25O,OOO
Mexican silver dollars, which General
Merritt will take along to defray the
expenses of the expedition. This
amount is not expected to be enough,
but more will be sent from time to
time.
BY purchasing Mexican dollars n
great saving Is made. It is possible to
obtain Mexican dollars at forty-siX
cents each, thus obtaining for one
American dollars two MeXicans and
leaving eight cents toward the pur-
chase of third. In other words. Un-
Gle Sam was able to buy 100000 Mex
lean dollars for S11G,OOO. They We're
bought in San Francisco. In the Phil
ippines Mexican dollars is worth
more than an American dollar, SO the
expenses of General Merritts expedi-
ton outfit, if 1t once lands in Manila
will be less than one-hnlf 1t would
otherwise As to the soldiers, they
will fare excellently under this man
agement, for they will. of course, be

money.

two Mexican dollars for every Ameri-
can dollar due him on pay day.

WILL FORCE ANNEXATION.
The Hawaiian Bill Tackled Onto the Rev
enue MI.


Washington, May 27.-The Hawai-
ian annexation question, which has
been the subject of no little concern
about the Senate for the past few
days assumed definite shape in the
Senate to-day when Senators Lodge
and Morgan offered amendments to
the war revenue bill bearing directly
upon the subject. Senator Lodges
amendment Is in the words of the
Newlands resolution and provides in
direct terms for the annexation of the
islands. Senator Lodge was seen i'm
medately after he had sent his
amendment to the desk and an
nounced II to be his purpose to press
the amendment to the end
"Henceforth," said he, the two
measures must travel together. Both
are equally important and under the
circumstances it would be foolhardy
for us to forego our advantages in Ha-
wall
Investigation develops that Senator
Lodges action In presenting the
amendment was the result of more or
less conference, though of an Informal
character. among the stnunchcst advo-
Gates of annexation. They express the
opinion that the amendment in the end
will be accepted, but admit that in all
probability IT will result in delaying
the passage of the revenue bill. The
advocates of annexation assert that
when the vote is reached 1t will result
in the incorporation of the Hawaiian
annexation in the revenue bill, which
would of course have the effect of
forcing the matter upon the attention
of the House. They claim they will
get the votes of all but four of the
