WASHINGTON. June 27.-The outlook for
Senate action on Hawaiian annexation is
rather brighter tonight, although the at
mosphere is still too foggy to admit of the
forming of a judgment in the premises that
might not be overthrow by to-morrow's
developments. The debate promises to last
ten days or fortnight. The leaders of the
anti-anneXation movement held a meeting
to-day and decided they would resist any
effort to further extend the hours of the
daily sessions for the discussion of the Ha-
waiian question. They agreed to begin the
discussion promptly at II o'clock each day,
providing there was a quorum present but
they decided to take a position against the
extension of the debates beyond o'clock
On the evening. There were numerous con-
ferences between the representatives of the
respective sides of the Hawaiian controver-
sy, and several of the anti-annexation
gave assurance that they had no intention
to conduct flibuster They told Senator
Davis and other annexation leaders that
when their speeches were concluded they
would consent that a vote be taken. They
in all probability will be secured before
final adjournment. 1t was these assurances
which led to the amicable arrangement
about the adjournment of the days session.
They have also caused the supporters Of
the resolution to regard the outlook as more
favorable than at any previous time. No
one, however, looks for conclusion inside
of ten DAYS.

A COALING STATION.
An Island 2,7OO Miles West of Homo
lulu offered to the United States.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June "a spe-
cial from Honolulu says: The United
States possesses an island suitable for
coaling and even for a naval station in the
Pacific, nearly 2,7OO miles west of Honolulu
and in the doorway of Manila. 1t is known
as Marcus of Weeks, and is more than half
way to the Philippines. The island belongs
to Captain Foster, commander of a sailing
vessel plying between the Orient and San
Francisco. He found it while out cruising
and took possession. 1t was at that time
claimed and unoccuped BY consent of
James G. Blaine, then secretary of state,
the American flag was hoisted over the
island and still remains there, the same be-
ing sanctioned by Great Britain and all the
powers. The island is 24:4 north and 1912
east 1t is about five miles long and is
densely covered with trees and shrubbery
1t has white, sandy beach and near the
center is a knoll about $500 feet above the
sea. 1t is near the track of vessels from
Honolulu to Yokohama and has been offered
to the United States for coaling station"

The interesting announcement is made
this morning that Editor Jacob P. Dunn, of
the indianapolis Sentinel, will be a candi-
date or-the Democratic congressional nom
iration in this district. The Journal is not
in the habit of criticising any mans choice
of occupation or amusement so long as he
does not interfere with the public peace. but
while 1t can honestly congratulate the COM
munity in a prospect of unexpected enter
tainment in what promised to be dull cam
paign, it confesses to much wonder at Mr.
Dunn's determination. For, of course, he
does not for a moment expect to be elected
even if he should have the misfortune to
win the nomination. The reelection of
Mr.. Overstreet is foreordained and who
ever is put up against him by the Demo-
Gratis will be a wiser and a sadder man
when he returns to his accustomed voca-
ton. Wisdom is so greatly needed on the
Sentinel that its requirement by one of the
editors, even through painful process, is a
thing to be encouraged but it is the sad
dening effect that the Journal would regret.
To have Mr. Dunn's spirits SO dashed that
he would produce no more of those sprght-
ly editorials the iniquity of the gold
standard to which the Sentinel's readers
turn so eagerly every morning, would in
deed be a misfortune To open that paper
and find none of Mr.. Dunn's humorous dis
QUESTIONS in favor of free silver would
cause pang to Constant Reader" and
"Old Subscriber" The pieces would be
missed
But there is another and more personal
phase of the matter. OF course, those who
know Mr.. Dunn are aware that his bound
less energy has led him into this fruitless
undertaking, but even with his irrepressible
activity he is likely to be tired before the
summer is past. He should count the cost
well before he goes too far. 1t is going to
be warm summer and electoneering will
greatly increase his temperature. 1t will be
much easier and cooler, besides being less
expensive, to stay right in the Sentinel Office
and go on writing those delightful essays
on the currency, interspersed with instruc-
tons to the naval board of strategy and
screeds on grade crossings.
But if Mr.. Dunn will not consider his own
ease and the joy of his readers, but is de-
termined to have the experience, let him go
right ahead and not be afraid of bugaboos.
Already he has SHE'D at one of these sus-
pected of lying in wait for him. He has
heard that Mr.. Frenzel will spend $4,000 to
defeat him. Why Mr.. Frenzel should be
suspected of such an extravagant intention
the Journal has not the least idea, and in
deed doubts if he could be persuaded to
spend fifty cents for that purpose, knowing,
as he does. that the Republican party and
MIR. Overstreet will dispose of all obstacles
in their way. No; Mr.. Dunn should not con-
jure up the frayed-out old "hant" and look
for it behind the bushes. His opponents
will be in the middle of the field and will
promise him all the experience he wants.
But they will regret to disfigure him and
would prefer to do up Charley Cooper or
Leon Bailey. He had better stick to his
present humble, but safe and easy job.

AN UNJUST PROPOSITION.

It is natural that human beings should
look at public matters through the medium
of self-interest Better education seems not
to be able to overcome this narrow ENVIRON
ment Consequently one need not be sur
prised that a prominent and influential edu-
Gator in this State has just declared that
because the rich have money with which to
give their children advantages of university
education, the State is under obligation to
extend like advantages to the children of
the poor That is. if those who have ample
means send their sons and daughters to
universities all the people, the poor. who
are the vast majority. most be taxed that
such sons of poor men as desire to study
in universities may have the same advan-
tages. AS in the nature of things, not one
in five hundred of these whom this educator
calls the children of the poor can take adj
vantage of the most liberal system of edu-
cation, his proposition involves the taking
from five hundred poor men. in the form of
taxes, money to benefit the son or daughter
OF one of them. The fundamental idea of
socialism is to divide all wealth on a per
capita basis, but the fundamental idea of
this proposition is to take from the many
and to make them poorer in order to ad-
vance the interests of the very few.
The State should make liberal provision
for the support Of free schools in every COM
munity. because the rudiments of education
are essential to public, welfare. Taxation
within proper limits is tiefensibe upon the
ground that such education is necessary and
that it can be shared By ALL Indeed, the
laws enforcing the attendance of children

and exhibited copies of kilograms that

of the money including the names of the

said to the committee he knew as a matter
of right the committee had no authority to
demand of him such statement. and he
made 1t alone to prove conclusively to the
committee that there was no money used to
improperly influence Congress and that no
part of the money was paid to those con-
nected with the publishing house or any one
else who had part or parcel in making
the agreement with him for a fee.

people are being ignored in enlistment of
troops 1t contempates three years service.
All field and staff officers are TO be ap.
pointive by the President. and no officer in
eligible for enlistment in the ranks shall be
eligible for appointment.

"WILLIAM M'KINLEY. y
Reward for the Gallant Men.

WASHINGTON, June Pit has not yet
been positively determined by the admins
tration just what measure of reward shall
be meted out to Constructor Hobson. He
will be transferred to the line but just what
place in the line is to be gver to him is
not yet settled, but it can be stated that he
will not, as was at first proposed. be placed
in the grade of lieutenant commanders.
With a full realization of the merits of Hob
sons achievement, the naval officials have
concluded that SO great advancement as
that, amounting to a promotion of over $50
numbers, would be unwise. so it is likely
that Hobson will take his place we'll up
among the leutenants of the naval service,
which, officials believe, will make his re-
ward fully equal to that bestowed upon
Gushing for his daring feat. The Navy
Department, while not relaxing in any de-
gree its efforts TO secure EIobson's release
from captivity at Santiago, has about con-
Guided that nothing practicable can be eff
fected in this direction until the town itself
has been captured. The reasons assigned
by the SpaniardS for declining the exchange
are admitted to be sound if the facts are as
overwhelmingly, that HobSon has had
opportunity to see so much of the Spanish
defenSeS, their strength and weakness, that
he could not safely be permitted to return
to the American fleet at this time.
1t is regarded as little singular that
three of the sailors of the torpedo boat
Winslow who participated in the affair at
Cardenas when Ensign Bagley was killed
have been rewarded by being advanced to
warrant officers. while the man who most
of all distinguished himself on that occa-
sion, Lieut.. John Bernadou, lies unrewarded
at Key West. still suffering from the eff
fects of his wound. This, however, is ex
planned by the fact that the department pos
SesSes within itself the power to reward in
this way enlisted men. hut it can act in the
case of a commissioned officer like Bernadou
only upon the recommendation of his SUI
perior officer In the present instance that
superior officer at the time of the Cardenas
affair was Admiral Sampson. who is now
presumably too busily engaged with other
matters to recall to mind BernadOus case.

The loss of two members of notable fam

gogic assault in political campaigns should
not fail to convey cseful lesson TO the ef-
feet that the best men of the country, rich
or poor, car be depended on to serve the
Nation IN a season of danger. 1t should
also be remembered that the lives of the

precious to them than are the lives of the

comparatively unknown. For that reason

that which can be attained by time and
