SENATOR ELKINS, IMPERIALIST.
The Intelligencer publishes more Or
less interesting interview with Senator
Elkins on the subject of annexation
In general and of Hawaiian annexation
In particular. Mr. Elkins is an annex
ationist, of course. Indeed, he is, we
believe, one of the originators of the
various schemes of territorial aggran-
dizement that have grown out of this
war, and stands in the front rank
among the wealthy jobbers and specu-
iators who see unlimited opportunities
to make barrels" of money at the ex-
pense of their country in these new
possessions scattered over the oceans,
which we have or propose to acquire
if the war will only kindly last long
enough. Elkins, of course, there be-
ing much Gin it" for him, is one
of the most rabid imperialists in Wash
ington. There is some talk-light

To the Editor Of the Register.
Dear Sir In your editorial this
morning Truth About Hawaii" you
seem to claim that the United States
have added a lot of mongrel voters"
to cur population. You need to read
the annexation bill once more carefully.
Will you kindly inform your readers
how many of the following citizens Of
the United States have the right Of
franchise, viz; Alaska, $1,000; Arizona,
1900; New Mexico, 1S5 600; Oklahoma,
275,00O; District of Columbia. 10000;
total, 3S,000-the great majority Of
whom are native born Americans?
Even your last Democratic President
had no right to cast a ballot.

1t is with genuine regret that the
many friends political and otherwise of
Col. c. L. Poorman, of the Bellaira
Tribune, and the Chic Bimetallist, will
receive the statement from his pen that
he is not a candidate for Congressional
honors. Among the reasons for his de
clination he mentions his advanced age
of seventy-three years and his conse-
quent physical inability to make a Wig
orous campaign. The Colonel will sup
port the Democratic nominee and ex-
presses the firm belief that he will be
elected.

That artillery practice at Santiago
Sunday was merely an appetizer.
THE QUALIFY OF AMERICANS.

I
No wonder Santiago is doomed. How
could it be otherwise with an American
army battering at its doors on one side
and the American navy bonlbarding it
On the other!
Our navy has long ago proven the
stuff it is made Of. It's tars and gun
ners Rave shown themselves the most
expert and gallant in the world
Skaters army on the land side is
composed Of heroes. They are troops
which have never before been exposed
to the burning sun of the tropics They
come from temperate latitude, where
water is plentiful and healthful food
abundant. Many of them are mere city
bred boys who never knew the meaning
of the hardships Of a soldiers life. Yet
these men have been and are fighting
and dying without a murnur in the
burning trenches before Santiago.
Food and water is scarce because of
/ bad roads. They have been burning up
in a breezeless furnace, many falling
under the strokes of the tropical sun.
But never is there a sign of faltering
although these American soldiers are
fighting the combined foes of men, eli
mate and natural conditions to which
they are unaccustomed.
This quality of grim endurance dis
played by the unacclimated Americans
fighting and falling around Santiago is
the essence Of real heroism. It is gen
uine American manhood, which just
now is winning the admiration and
amazement of the world

Marietta, ", july IL.
1--WE would inform our correspondent
that the citizens Of the territories of
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma
are entitled to vote, certain persons be-
ing excluded, such as Indians and Chi
namen in Arizona. Z. S. soldiers, camp
followers and unpardoned felons in New
Mexico and Indians having tribal rela-
tons in Oklahoma These territories
elect delegates to Congress and Legis-
latures. Alaska's government, like
the country, is necessarily very print
tive and there are no elections. The
District of Columbia, being the seat Of
the federal government, its citizens
never had the right to vote for national
officers. 1t is governed altogether by
Congress and three commissioners ap-
pointed by the President. We
would inform Mr.. Bosworth. that the
annexation bill" or the resolutions
annexing the Hawaiian islands have
nothing to say On the question of the
suffrage. What Mr.. Bosworth means
by saying that our last Democratic
President had no right to cast a ballot
is incomprehensible, since Mr.. Cleve-
land certainly did have that right.

A Spanish ambassador is quoted as
saying the Spanish government cannot
propose peace while the country
clamors for war. He might have
added that the country clamors for war
because it has been outrageously de-

ban question was broached the men,
bers swarmed about the speaker and the
galleries cheered. This was especially
the case when Mr. Cummings Of New
York spoke, denOuncing the gag rule
adopted In the house Mr.. Boutelle,
who objected TO a request for extension
OF his time, was Missed. The only i'm
portant action on the naval bill was the
refusal of the chair to sustain a point
OF order against the provision for a
floating steel dock at Algiers.
A resolution similar to that introduced
by Senator Foraker recognizing Cuban
independence was introduced in the
house by Representative Broderick OF
Kansas. Representative Wheeler Of
Alabama introduced the following joint
resolution, Resolved, That the govern
ment Of the United States hereby de-
clares that the struggling patriots in
the island of Cuba are belligerents and
are recognized as such by this govern
ment"
20 Permission was granted by the senate
for the foreign relations committee to
sit during the sessions Of the senate.
Following this action the resolution pro-
viding for the recognition of the inde-
pendence Of Cuba introduced by Mr..
Allen (Neb) was at the request Of Mr..

lations committee without debate. Be
yond these two points no reference was
made by the senate 10 the Cuban ques-
tinn. Mr.. Caffery Ua) concluded his

after which the measure making further

Bailey's Attempt to Force Hands of the
Republicans Defeated.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-A wild
and uproarious scene occurred in the
house Of representatives when Mr. Bal
ley, the Democratic leader, attempted
to force tho hands of the Republicans
upon proposition to overrule the
speaker and pass a resolution recognize
Ing the independence of the Cuban re-
public. He was cheered on by the
crowded galleries. but the members Of
the majority refused to support him.
Many Of them sympathized with the
purpose of the resolution, Mr.. Huh,
chairman of the military committee,
going 50 far as to indorse the resolu-
ton under the impression that II pro,
vided for a declaration Of war; but most
OF the radicals, who on Tuesday were in
favor OF any sort OF revolutionary
measure, had been won over to the
policy of sticking TO the party organi-
zation and refusing to do anything un-
less the initiative came from their side.
They were rallied by two Of the lead
ing advocates Of armed Intervention,
and the speaker himself from the chair
made an indirect appeal TO his party
associates to stand firm, at the same
time intlmating that IL their impatience
were curbed a little longer they would
have the opportunity they coveted.
When the vote was taken, only two Re-
publlcans. Messrs. Acheson and Rob-
bins of Pennsylvania. broke from the
party lines. About a dozen more sat
silent in their seats and refused to
vote The vote was $50 to 139 against
the appeal
The scene throughout was most dra-
matte, and the members and spectators
in the galleries were wrought up to a
high pitch Of excitement. Several times
later in the day during the considera-
tion of the naval bill whenever the Gu
