Paris. Much as the powers would like 10
intervene in behalf of Spain they dare not

attitude OF Europe in general toward the
Spaniards and Americans is as follows:

Hawaiian Annexation Resolution
Laid Before the Senate.
Referred, on Motion Of Chairman Davis, to
Committee on Foreign Relations.
The General Deficiency Bill Occu-
pies the Attention Of the House,
the Measure Being Still Unfin-
ished at the Hour Of Adjourn
ment.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-After de-
voting an hour to-day to the discus
sion of the bill restoring the annuities
to the Sisseton and Wahpeton bands of
the Sioux Indians, the Senate resumed
the consideration of the bill to incor-
porate the International American
Bank. A test vote clearly indicated
that a majority of the Senate favors
the measure. A final vote on it is ex-
pected tomorrow.
Five minutes after the opening of
the Senate's session to-day, the Mes
sage Clerk of the House of Representa-
tives delivered to the Senate the Ha-
waiian resolution passed by the House
last evening.
On the suggestion of Davis of Min
nesota, the resolution was laid before
the Senate, and was then referred to
the Committee on Foreign Relations.
A bill to authorize the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas Railway Company to re-
store the channel of the South Cana
dian River at the point of the road S
crossing in Indian Territory was favor
ably reported and passed.
Bills were read as follows: To ex-
tend the time for the construction of
homa and Southern Railway Company
through Indian Territory; to extend the
time for the construction of the rail-
way Of the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific Railroad Company through In
dian Territory; to provide $1,000 for
the immediate repair of the reservoir
dam at Lake Winnebagoshish, Mime
sofa; to grant lands to the State Of
Alabama for the use of the Agricult-
uraI and Mechanical College of Ala
bama for negroes, and the State Nor
NAL College at Florence, Ala
At l o'clock the special order, bill
for the restoration of annuities TO the
Sisseton and Wahpeton bands of Sioux
Indians was laid before the Senate.
Payment of the annuities was stopped
by Congress in 1868, on account of the
Sioux massacre in Minnesota. By the
terms of the bill the annuities are re-
stored until 1902, when the treaty will
terminate; but no Indian who partici-
pated in the Minnesota massacres and
no descendant of such Indian shall re-
ceive any part of the money.
Allison R.) of Iowa strongly opposed
this. declaring it to be a mere gratuity
which would cost the Government al
least s., 100000
At 2 o'clock Allison had not concluded
his remarks.
