ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
Islands to BE Placed Under United
states Protection.

New York, April Boa special to the
Press from Washington says:
When President Dole of Hawaii left
this country recently after his visit to
aid in the annexation proceedings before
congress he carried with him the draft
of a bill which promises to make history
1t is for passage by the Hawaiian con-
gress and provides, in the event OF a war
in which the United States may need the
Hawaiian islands for base of supplies
that the islands shall be put under the
protection of the American flag.
1t was prepared with the knowledge OF
members of the senate committee on for
eign relations and had the approval of the
administration on certain conditions. One
condition was that it should not be sub
mitted to the Hawaiian congress unless
there was a war.
When President Dole left this country
war with Spain had not been declared,
but was deemed probable. No conditions
are to be imposed on the United States
should the Amedican flag be raised over
the islands. If a consideration was nam
ed an appropriation would be required
which would need congressional action
and probably cause complications.
A majority of the senate and house are
in favor of the annexation of Hawaii and
the project has failed so far only through
lack of the necessary two-thirds vote in
the upper body. In an emergency the
president of the United States can eXer
else what is known as the "war power"
He con accept the privilege granted by
the Hawaiian government for a base of
supplies in the Pacific ocean and to guard
the island completely the flag OF the
United States would be raised as bar
rier against which foreign meddling would
not be permitted.
1t would not surprise well-informed ma
tional legislators to hear by the next
steamer from Honolulu either confrma-
ton OF strong indication of the fulfill
ment of this important news. The opera
tons of Commodore Dewey in the Philip
pines are significant in connection with
the expected establishment of a protector
ate or sovereignty over Hawaii.

NORTHPORT IN ASHES.


Northport. May 2. - Northport is In
ruins. OF the entire business district
nothing but ashes remain. More than 40
buildings went up in smoke this morning
Dozens of people are homeless today;
scores are penniless. OF all the buildings
on the fiat but two are left standing
the Spokane & Northern depot and Ken
bricks store.
Late last night some careless smoker
threw the stub of a lighted cigarette on
the carpet in the little tailor shop behind
Madden & Riley's saloon on Fourth ave
nue.; there it smouldered At o'clock
this morning flames shot up through the
roof of the building. Ten minutes later
little crowd of excited men was strug-
Cling desperately to check a roaring fire
that licked up the dry buildings as if
they were finder boxes. For three hours
the fight with the flames went on. The
wind. which was scarcely breathing when
the first blaze was seen, came rushing
faster and faster, sweeping the flames first
one way, then another, through the heart
of the town.
Every man and boy in Northport did
his best, but all together could do moth
ing. TO throw water on the flames was
like sprinkling a furnace; to tear down
a building was but to give the flames a
quicker chance to leap across. So fierce
was the heat that, with the poor appli-
ances at hand, it soon became almost i'm
possible to come close enough TO fight the
fire at all.
The calamity falls with more crushing
force because of the high rates of insur-
ance that have been maintained. In hard
ly any instance has property been insured
for more than fraction of its value, and
for dozens of losses there will be no in,
surance at all. What the total loss will
be can not now be reckoned with any ac-
curacy, but if it is covered by 100000
everyone will be glad if it is no worse.

No dispatches give details as to the yes

1t appears to be Incorrect that the
American ships finally anchored behind
the merchantmen on the east side Of the

Probabilities point to the second en-
gagement occurring through the Span
iards trying to prevent the landing OF the
American wounded.
Reliable details can not be had until
Commodore Dewey's squadron is able TO
communicate with Hong Kong. There
is. however, suspicious frankness in

intention to break unwelcome news to
the Spaniards. 1t is not likely, however

There is a remarkable development, not
only of the natural resources of The
country, but there is also change tor
the better in the condition of the
lower classes.
president Diaz has encouraged for
eign capital to seek investment by cx-
tending every inducement. The rights
of property are as carefully observed
as in any country in the world Some
Of the States have enacted compulsory
school laws, and in many other ways
an interest is shown in the peon sucn
as never before existed"
In the face of such facts, the argu-
ment in favor of the gold standard is
false and shallow. Falling prices are
the result of an approaching currency,
the measure Of value, and prosperity
cannot exist when prices are falling.
In the long run the gold standard
capitalists will find that they have
overdone the matter With no field
for investment their money must lie
idle The time may not yet have ar
rived, but it is approaching as sure as
fate.
