HAWAIIAN QUESTION.
Will Not be Pressed in the Senate
at This Session of Congress.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The active
opponents of Hawaiian annexation in
the Senate. it is learned, agreed to the
arrangement for daily sessions of the
Senate, beginning at II o'clock, only
after an understanding with a number
of Republican Senators that the Ha-
waiian question should not be earnest
ly pressed in the Senate in any form
this session.
The Senators were appealed to to ex-
pedite the consideration of the revenue
measure, and as a counter proposition
asked that Hawaiian annexation be
dropped. No party arrangement re-
suited from these propositions, the Re
publicans being disinclined as a party
to have the Hawaiian issue go over,
but a number of Republican Senators
gave assurance that Hawaiian anneXa
tiOn should not be seriously pressed at
this session. These assurances, the SEN
atOrs hostile to annexation say, are
sufficiently numerous to warrant them
in believing an adjournment of Con-
gress will be taken without action.
The advocates of Hawaiian annexa-
ton say a Republican caucus of the
House on that issue will be held i'm
lnediately after the adjournment to-
morrow. They were active to-day, and
a sufficient number for a calling of a
caucus have subscribed to a paper now
in the hands of Representative Gros-
venOr Of Ohio. Chairman of the Caucus
Committee, but the call has not yet
been issued.

that his suit proclaims him a man
Just like papa
These three piece vestee suits
are made to please just such lit
tie fellows-the manly little boys
who aim to be men-while the
price, 08c, cannot we'll help pleas

checked printed cotton in three
piece vestee style, the coat having
large braided sailor collar and
neatly braided sleeves; the pants
are knee length, trimmed at bot
tom with buckle and braid bow.
But the feature of the suit that will
most impress itself upon the boy
is the complement OF pockets-two
in pants, two in the vestee, and
one in the coat.
A full three piece summer suit
coat and vestee lined through
out-neat enough for any boy to
wear, for 98c; perhaps the biggest
98c worth of boys clothing to be

Eu1ogies Upon Late Senator George
Occupied Much of the Session.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-After the
passage of a bill granting certain pub
lie land to the Territory of New Mexico,
the House devoted the balance of the
session to eulogies upon the late Sena-
tor George of Mississippi.
When the House met, Lacey Of Iowa,
from the Committee on Public Lands,
called up and the House passed the
House bill granting certain lands to the
Territory of New Mexico for common
schools. college, University, charitable
Institutions public buildings, irrigating
and Rio Grande River improvement

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Late this
afternoon Allison of Iowa in charge of
the war revenue bill in the Senate, en-
deaVored TO secure unanimous consent
that a final vote on the measure be
taken on Saturday next before adjourn
ment
Teller of Colorado objected.
Daniel Of Virginia, in reiterating Tel
ler's objection, sounded the first note
of delay against the measure that has
been heard since the debate upon it
began. He declared that there was no
emergency which required the immedi-
ate passage Of the bill, and frankly an
nOunced that if certain provisions in
the bill put into it by the Democrats
of the Finance Committee were not in
cOrpOrated into it, he would offer some
amendments to the measure that would
probably precipitate debate. He strong
ly intimated, too, that if the war should
not be prolonged, it might not be neces-
sary to provide so much revenue as the
pending bill would raise and he indi-
Gated a desire to await developments
that in all likelihood were close at hand
before passing upon a bill that meant
SO much to the people as this one.
Speeches on the general features of
the pending bill were delivered to-day
by Stewart of Nevada, Allen of Ne
braska and Caffery Of Louisiana. Be
fore the revenue bill was taken up this
morning the pension deficiency appro-
priation bill was passed. 1t carried
nearly S9000.0OO.
At II o'clock this morning the SEN
ate convened an hour earlier than US
ual to resume its discussion of the war
revenue measure Scarcely a dozen
Senators We're present.
Hale of Maine reported an appropria,
tiOn bill to supply deficiencies in pen
sions and for other purposes. AS re-
ported the bill carries SS,49S, ,405 Of
which SS0IJ.S12 is for pensions and
the balance for the army, navy and
courts.
After a brief discussion of that fea-
ture of the measure which makes pos
sible temporary appointments of clerks
without civil service examination, it
was passed.
A joint resolution was adopted direct
ing the Secretary of War to report to
Congress plans for the Improvement of
Tampa Bay. Florida.
After the transaction of considerable
morning business. consideration of the
war revenue measure was resumed,
Stewart of Nevada taking the floor.
Stewart said he proposed to address
himself particularly to those para
graphs of the bill which provided for
the coinage of silver seigniOrage and
the issue of legal tender notes. He held
that the amount of money produced
from taxation under the bill would de-
pend largely upon the policy adopted
relative to the issue of more money and
the issue of bonds. He believed that
with an issue of bonds it would require
largely more taxation to produce a
given sum than it would without an
issue of bonds.
In the course of a long free silver
speech. Stewart declared that the rev.
enue bill as it passed the House of
Representative was the most mis-
cradle, villainous piece of legislation
ever enacted by a legislative body"
He attacked vigorously the bond prop
osition of the minority of the Finance
Committee, and urged the coinage of
the silver seigniOrage and the issue of
legal tender notes.
