Provisional Governor.
Maine Signal Corps camped in Ideal Spot at
Arsenal Barracks.

LIT Is not without interest that
every Maine man in the House, who
voted on the Hawaiian resolutions last
week, voted in favor of annexation.
Speaker Reed stood out alone Of the
Maine men, who were opposed to an
neXation, but as the whole country
knows long before this time, he was
absent and did not vote, only causing
the announcement to be made that
We're he present he should vote no.
The other three members of the dele
cation voted in favor Of annexation.
None of them made speeches in behalf
Of annexation but two Of the Maine men
in the House did. Representative
Alexander Of Buffalo, \. y. who is a
native of Richmond. Ne, made 4 ring
ing appeal for annexation. Represent
tatiVe Hilborn of California, who was
born al Minot, Me. and attended Heb
ron academy, when Mark Dunnell,
afterwards a member Of Congress from
Minnesota, was principal and when
Senator Hale and Secretary Long were
students likewise spoke in favor of an
nexation When the final vote came
not only these men but Representatives
Loren Fletcher ana f. G. Stevens If
Minnesota. and Representative Free
man Knowles. Populist all natives If
