ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
Agnin ConsIders It.

AkuAn NORhkucrN III.
Washington, March 5.-The Senate for
eign relations committee held a two-hours
sitting to-day in an effort to decide upon
what course TO pursue with reference to
the Hawaiian annexation treaty When
the meeting adjourned the members re-
fused absolutely to give out any inforna-
tlon to the press, saying that all present
had pledged themselves to absolute ae-
creey.
It was learned through other senator's,
however, that the committee had under
consideration the advlsabihty of taking up
the question of annexation I'm the way of
legislation rather than by the means of
ratifying the treaty. and that they tad
decided not TO abandon the treaty, at least
now, but to press its consideration upon
the Senate at the first opportunity.
The present intention of the committee
is to hold the treaty In executive session
until test vote can be secured, and II Is
sttll understood that the Bacon amend
ment will be used for this purpose. IL the
result of this vote indicates that a vote
upon the treaty itself would result In it's
defeat the friends OF annexation will
then resort to the expedient
of joint resolution and will ask the Sem
ate TO take up the question In this shape
sn open session with the view of securing
the concurrence of the House.
Difference Of opinion developed In the
committee as to the wisdom of resuming
the executive sessions at all, but il was
urged that many of the senators would not
object to the changed method of proceed
ing until there should be at least test
vote on the treaty itself, and this view H
understood TO have prevailed.

London, March 5.--According to the
statement of a man whose cards describe
him as being an electrical engineer, whose
name cannot be disclosed, but has been
forwarded to Washington, he sold to Span
ish officers in London several years ago a
large number OF mines, eight or ten of
which were placed in Havana harbor. He
says they were made in special way and
had specially and peculiarly constructs
ed cable, which he contends he can posi-
lively identify if the smallest piece is pro-
duced. Some of the mines, the man con-
tnues, were fixed so they could be fired
from a fort and two of them had bulbs.
arranged so that they would explode upon
q vessel coming in contact with them.
But the alleged electrical engineer adds
that he does not believe the bulbs would
be used in water as shallow as that of
Havana harbor. He exhibited the plans
Of one of these mines, which he pointed
out was the most likely TO produce the
effect described as causing the wreck of
the Maine, 1t was numbered "2" and
was constructed to contain 500 pounds OF
gun cotton. This is the story told by the
man. who gives one the impression that
he has been sergeant of engineers, or has
held some similar position. He was ap-
parently thoroughly posted upon electri-
cal matters and submarine mines.

Nearly every man has it in his power to
live to agreen old age like the great states
man Of England. It is simply a matter of
q little daily thought and regard for health.
If, when a man feels that he is a little out
of sorts, he will resort to the right remedy,
he will never lave to submit to the more
serious ills of life. Most men, when they
have a headache. feel drowsy during the
day and are restless during the night, and
find their appetite falling of. pay little or
no heed to these warnings. The inevitable
result is some dangerous and possibly fatal
malady. The doctor may call it consu,1p-
ton, malaria or b~iliousness, or perhaps
some blood or skin disease. It makes but
little difference. These troubles all have
their inception in. the same cause i'm
prope and insufficient n~ourishmcnt. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery corrects
that cause. 1t makes the appetite keen
and hearty, the digestion perfect, the liver
active and the blood pure and rich. It is
the great blood-raker and hesh-builder.
1t facilitates the assimilation of the life
giving elements of the food, filing the
blood with the nutrir.ent that makes new
n healthy flesh and nerve tissue. Medi-
cine dealers sell it.
