RHODE ISLAND SENTIMENT SQUARELY OPPOSED 70
 HAWAIIAK ANNEXATION
Even tbe Annexation Of Texas Was Oooosed 6y be General Assembly Of
 the SfGfe

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-T. l.. Cole of this city dealer in old books. re- gently found a series of resolutions State of Rhode Island in 1887. which he thinks contain some sentiments ap- propriate to the present Hawaiian an- nexation discussion. In any event these resolutions indicate the tradi- tional sentiment of New England upon the subject of territorial expansion. It is obvious that, aside from the enlarge ment of State territory, Texas, being contiguous to our own territory, fur nished fewer objections than the Ha- waiian Islands do. It might be well for Senators Aldrich and Wetmore to look at these musty records, and see where they possess pertinency to the present discussion. They are as follows:
 Whereas, compact of union between these States was entered into bv inc people thereof in their respective States in order to form that perfect union es, tabliSh justice, insure domestic tranuuil- lity, provide for the common defense nro- blessings or liberty to themselves and their posterity.
 And therefore a republican government was instituted by them, with certain limited powers, clearly specified and de- fined in a constitution, all other poyers not herein expressly relinquished being
 reserved to States respectively or to people,"
 And whereas, this limited government l possesses no power to extend it's iuris- ! diction over any foreign nation and no admitted into this union but by sovereign

 LEARN THEIR FATE T0-D6Y

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-The case of Chris Merry and James Smith will go to the jury tomorrow. Merry expects no mercy; Smith does.
 ''The jury will hang me-" Merry re- peated many times to-day
 He made practically no defense Merry was deaf to all the arguments of his at- torneys. He feared the cross-examina- ton. He said repeatedly:
 ''I don't know who killed Polly I did not see her; have never seen her since between 4 and 5 o'clock on Friday arter- noon, November 19.''
 ''Why not go on the stand and tell your story to the jury?" urged Colonel Dayid- son, his counsel. You cannot hurt your self. and you may benefit yourself"
 Merry shook his head and declared if was useless for him to say word The arguments will be finished by noon to- morrow. and the case will go to the jury by p. m.
