WASHINGTON. Jan. s-Intereet in the
senate proceedings for the week cenrers
In the promised debate OF the treaty for
the annexation OF Hawaii. which viii bs
taken up on Monday. Senator Davis mas
given notice that he viii move an execu-
tive session Of the senate for consideration
each day until the treaty shall be finally
disposed OF.
The first effort on Monday Will be 10
secure open doors for the debate This
motion Will be made By Senator Pettigrew
OF the opposition. There is no likelihood
that 1t wiu carry. The prevailing opinion
Is that the debate will not be prolonged
on the treaty. bat theories as TO the
length Of time vary all the way from q
week to a month.
The opposition 10 the treaty assert that
they have 10 disposition 10 proloug the
discussion, owing to their confidence in
their ability Ia defeat the treaty They
claim thirty-ftve votes IN opposition and
State that among these there win be more
than one Republican Senator Morrill, ad-
heres to his original determination 10 op-
pose the ratification resolution, and he IS
preparing a speech Oh that side OF the
question The name Of Senator Money

or supporters Of the treaty. making five
Democrats who will certainly favor an
neSatiou. Senator Butler. Pogul.st, whose

posed to ratiaca ton. Ii may be accepted
as true that II the opponents OF annexa-
tlon become thoroughly convinced that
thsy can secure the oRe-third vote neces-
saTy 10 accomplish that end they Will al
low the vote 10 come without delay, re-
serving any diiatory tactics TO which they
mag be disposed TO resort for use In con-
nection with the consideration OF the jctut
resolution for annexation. which would
follow the defeat of the treaty. This reso-
luton would require only majority vote
and it is conceded on all hands that tho
an8eSaticuists have the necessary ma
jority.
In open session the calendar presents
many subjects that may receive attention.

and the census elli. the latter affoEding

Senator Davis is expected TO open the

RIGHT you ARE, NEIGHBOR JUDD.
The principal topic Of conversation
around the town is the future prospt cts
of war with Spain. A war has p owed
in the past to be very expeI sjve salts
faction to the country. The destruction
of the battle chip Maine ard the great
loss of life is a lamentable fact. Should
this horrible destruction of life and prop
erty prove to be the work of some fac
ton of a friendly government, then every
honorable means should be brought to
bear to bring about just settlement and
punishment of the guilty parties, and
then if no satisfaction can be got, declare
war. No doubt the good people of this
country would feel relieved to have the
late disaster proven to be an accident
and then have all differences of opinion
between Spain and this country settled
by arbitration and in a Christian like
manntr. The United States don't want
to steal Cuba; that would be national
disgrace. Was there ever time in the
history OF this natio when the heads OF
this government should work more cool
ly and slowly together? Be just to this
country and be Just to a friendly power
who are innocent in the eye of the law
until proved guilty.
