the contents He did not hesitate, but left
his home and sought a companion named
Richard Mumford. The fathers check
was for $36, and this, to the youngsters,
seemed q fortune. The difficulty that
appeared to them was how TO proceed to
realize the cash. Finally it was agreed
that Howard should sign his fathers
name. Mumford then agreed to go to
kaufman's shoe store and purchase a pair
of shoes and present the check in pay

evening Mumford called at the store, Sc
cured the shoes, and received the cash
balance. In the meantime the matter be

WE MAY SEIZE HAWAII.
1t May Become al Military Necessity
TO DO So

The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations endeayored in a two hours
sitting yesterday to reach some con-
clusion as TO what was best TO be done
in the matter Of the treaty for the an
nexauon Of Hawaii They could reach
no conclusion, and ii has pot yet been
definitely decided TO abandon the treaty
and proceed with the consideration OF
the subject by joint resolution.
As soon as the appropriation bills are
out OF the way the Senate will be asked
10 again proceed with the treaty, and
until these bills are passed the COM
mittee viii quietly wait the turn Of
events. At the meeting yesterday ii
was plainly shown that there was not
at present a sufficient number Of votes
TO ratify the treaty. AT one time the
outlook is bright and again there is ev-
cry indication Of defeat for the con-
NenuOn. No appTeciable inroad ap-
pears to have been made upon what
has been termed the floating vote" OF
the Senate-those senators who are un-
able TO make up their minds just what
To do.
The friends Of the treaty expect
events in the near future to materially
help them out, and this feature of the
case was discussed at the meeting yes
terday. Every member appreciated the
gravity Of the Spanish situation, and in
the privacy Of the committee room it
was freely predicted that war would
be the final Outcomeof the whole busi-
ness. In that event, ii was pointed out,
Hawaii would be promptly annexed
or the islands would be seized as a mil
itary necessity, a result which would
be, in either case, acceptable TO the
friends of annexation and the present
government Of the island. 1t was this
precise situation. more than anything
else. that caused the committee not to
decide to abandon the treaty now.
1t Will be called UP and discussed
during the coming week, and it, after
some time has been consumed there is
no indication Of Il Spanish crisis, the
treaty Will be withdrawn and the Nor
gan resolution laid before the Senate
by the committee. The committee was
unusually reticent yesterday for each
member was cautioned by Chairman
Davis 10 say nothing as To what trans
pired. This injunction was religiously
kept, but The Times is able, notwith-
standing this, 10 give the reason why
the committee reached its decision Of
