PLUGGING THE PIANO.
Mr.. Goszleby Finds Temporary Relief
from the Heavy Pedal by
Simple Means.

at is a familiar fact" said Mr.. Gozzlebv
cor it is fact at least familiar to all iona
parents, that children, without exception
like to play the piano with the hard pedal
on all the time. All children like to make ali
the noise they can, in playing the piano as in
everything else. Playing upon the piano
without the heavy pedsl does not disturb me
at all; but the minute the heavy pedal is mt
on am greatly disturbed, and the continued
resounding of the notes fairly racks me.
"Of course, can't be forever saying don't
and it's ungracious to say it at all. suppose
for why shouldn't the children have tbe;r
fun? And so | hit upon the desperate ex.
pedient of blocking the heavy pedal | have
whitfield out nice little piece of soft white
pine into plug that just fits into the space
under the pedal in the opening in which il.
works, so that the pedal cannot be de-.
pressed.
at has only been there two days now. but
it has been two days of blessed relief II
can't last much longer. because the children
are liable to ask me any minute what's the
matter-I wonder they haven't asked me
long ago-and of course I'll have to tell EN-
but am grateful for the rest have had, and
the respite has given me strength the better
to withstand, for time at least, the uproar
that will surely come when the children dis.
tower the plug. IN. Y. Sun.

PASS THE HOUSE.
Hawaiian Annexation Revolutions 90
Through by q Large Ma
jorfty-A synopsis.

Washington, June 16.-By vote OF
200 to 81 the house Of representatives
Wednesday afternoon adopted the New
lands resolutions providing for the an
nexation of Hawaii. The debate, which
has continued without interruption
since Saturday. has been one of the
most notable Of this congress. the pro-
posed annexation being considered Of
great commercial and strategic impor-
lance by its advocates and being looked
upon by its opponents as involving
radical departure from the long-estab-
llshed policy of the country and likely
to be followed by the Inauguration of a
pronounced policy of colonization, the
abandonment of the Monroe doctrine
and participation In international
wrangles.
The resolutions adopted in a pream.
bic relate the offer of the Hawaiian re-
public to cede all of its sovereignty and
absolute title to the government and
crown lands, ard then by resolution ac-
cept the cession and declare the islands
annexed. The resolutions provide for
a commission 81 five, at least two OF
whom shall be resident Hawaiians, to
recommend to congress such legislation
as they NAV deem advisable. The pub
lie debt of Hawaii, not to exceed 81 ,0OO,-
600, is assured. Chinese immigration
Is prohibited; all treaties with other
powers are declared null, and il is pro-
vided that until congress shall provide
for the government of the islands all
civil, judicial and military powers now
exercised by the officers of the existing
government shall be exercised in such
manner as the president shall direct,
and he is given power to appoint per-
sons to put in effect provisional gov
eminent for the islands.
Washington, June 1S.-The foreign
relations committee, through Senator
Davis, the chairman, reported favor
ably to the senate the Newlands reso-
lutions for the annexation of the IIa-
waian islands. Only about Is minutes
time was consumed by the committee
in reaching the conclusion TO report
the resolutions for the acquisition OF
the Hawaiian islands by the United
States

Third Manila Expedition.

San Francisco, June 1S.-Maj. Gen.
Merritt has announced his selection of
the troops which will compose the third
expedition to Manila. Gen. Merritt has
selected regiments and battalions ag-
gregating 1850 officers and men, and
the five transports which will be pre-
pared for the expedition can easily ac-
commodate 4,250 men, so that few
hundred more soldiers may be sand
WICKED in at the last msmenf if desired.
1t is doubtful if Gen. Merritt will ac-
company the troops, who will be com
manded by Brig. Gen. Charles King.
The brigade on this next expedition
will comprise the two Idaho battal-
ions, who will sail on the Morgan City:
the Seventh California, on the Indiana;
the Thirteenth Minnesota, on the Git j,
of Para; one battalion of the Wyoming
regiment, on the Ohio; two battalions
of the North Dakota regiment, on the
Valencia. In addition the Valencia will
carry as many recruits as can be ac-
commodated from the various new
squads who have lately enlisted.
