question Of adopting a policy OF an
nexation or a policy OF Imperialism
might be set aside until the present
war is over. Instead OF that, how
ever, we are being propelled to an
issue by an interest which has
crowded around this Capitol for
years-that Of the sugar trust. We
are to be forced to action" Sena-
tor Pettigrew maintained that the

already large enough, and he be-
lieved it his duty to resist the &C.
QUESTION of any territory inhabited
by people far inferior to ours, or
80 located as to require navy to
defend it. In case of war with
another nation our foreign posses
sions would be the first attacked.
He believed the United States ought
not to enter into competition with
the great European powers either in
the supporting of great navy or in
the acquisition of foreign territory.
At 4:55 p. M, Senator Pettigrew
not having concluded his speech,
the Senate went into executive

FOR PLACES ON THE COMMISSION.
There is much discussion regard
ing the makeup OF the commission
OF five provided for in the Newland's
resolution. Two of the members
must be natives of the islands, and
it is expected that one will be of
American parentage and the other
Kanaka. Of the former, there are
mentioned ex-Minister Lorrin A.
Thurston, Acknowledgement w. o
Smith, and W. A. Kinney, who was
here while the treaty was being
framed. For the second place the
choice will probably fall upon Col.
John Richardson, now here OPP
posing annexation, or j. X. Kaulia,
who came to Washington last year
on the same mission. If anti-annex-
ationists are appointed, the conf
dence which is reposed in them by
the natives will go far toward win
ming the latter to the new form OF
government. ...0...l I.I
OF the other three commissioners,
California will probably get one,
and among the candidates are Judge
Puterbaugh, who was formerly law
partner of r. G.. Ingsrsoll; M. M.
Estee, who has figured conspicuous
ly in Republican National Conven-
tions, and Fred S. Stratton, of San
Diego. Ohio is booked for one of
the places, with probability that
H. M. Daugherty, close friend Of
Senator Hanna, or Albert Douglass,
lawyer, of Chilicothe, will be
named. 1t is believed that Massa-
chusetts will also be represented on
the commission, in view Of the close
relationships which are held between
the islands and the Bay State, al

YIELDED TO SENATOR PETTIaREw.
Senator White maintained that
there would be no improperly in
this Government entering a protest
against any other nation interfering
with the present Government of
Hawaii, and in face of such pro-
test no nation would interfere.
Shortly after 3 o'clock, Senator
White announcing that he was
much fatigued, yielded the floor to
Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota.
Senator White will proceed with his
speech probably to-day.
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,,
made an effort to secure consent to
vote upon the conference report on
the bankruptcy bill without debate,
but objection was made. Senator
Allison then presented the confer
ence report on the Indian appropri-
alton bill. After the reading ofthe
report, at the suggestion of Senator
Davis, the report was ordered print
ed, and went over. aI
Senator Pettigrew inquired Of
Senator Allison what had been done
by the conferees about the free
homestead provision of the Senate
bill, and Senator Allison replied
that the Senate provision had been
stricken out, and a provision insert
ed extending the free homesteads to
July /, 1900
"What have you done regarding
the leasing of mineral lands" in
quired Senator Pettigrew. %
"That provision was considerably
modified" replied Senator Allison.
Authority is given the Indians to
lease mineral lands under certain
conditions" 81.
"Then the committee recognizes
the title of the Indians to the mineral
lands Of the reservationsp ques-
toned Senator Pettigrew. -u
"The committee" responded Sem
ator Allison, "did the best it could
under the circumstances" SEQ
SAID 1T MEANT A LOSS OF MILLIONS.
"We have never acknowledged the
right of the Indians" said Senator
Pettigrew, "to lease mineral lands
on a reservation. This provision
will involve loss of hundreds of
millions to the government. It will
cost more than the present war"
"That may be-" said Senator ALI
son.
"This conference report ought to
be contested severely" declared
Senator Pettigrew.
Senator Allison, in explanation,
said that under the present arrange
ments the Indians leased the mineral
lands, but that their power had
been very carefully hedged about
with conditions.
In response to an inquiry of Sena-
tor Teller as to the reasons for
striking out the free homestead pro-
vision, Senator Allison said it was
necessary in order that an agree
ment might be reached. The House
conferees commended, he said, that a
free homestead bill was pending in
the House, and that the Senate pro-
vision had no business on an appro.
priation bill. He felt certain the

IT IS EASY To TELL.

People are not apt to get anxious
about their health soon enough. If
you are "not quite well" or "half
sick" have you ever thought that
your kidneys may be the cause of
sickness.
1t is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine for twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an
unhealthy condition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it
is evidence of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to urinate, scant sup
ply, pain Oh dull ache in the back is
also convincing proof that the kid
neys and bladder need d~octoring.
There is satisfaction in knowing
that the great remedy, DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, fulhlls every wish in
relieving weak Oh diseased kidneys
and all forms of bladder and urinary
troubles. Not only does Swamp-Root
give new life and activity to the kid
neys-the cause of the trouble, but
by treating the kidneys it acts as a
tonic for the entire constitution. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price
fifty cents and one dollar. So remark
ably successful has Swamp-Root been
that if you wish to prove its great
merit, you may have a sam
pie bottle and pamphlet both sent free
by mail. Mention the Mexico LED
GER and send your address to DR..

MEXICO, Mo-, Jan. 1.-The PROPOSE
ton of Prof. John W. Wilkinson to es-
tablish a school here is one that
should be given immediate attention.
The value Of a soundly conducted
school of higher grade to a town is
great.
It is a direct benefit to the many
classes of people; it attracts persons
with sons and daughters and the
means to educate them; it causes
much money to be spent in the town
by students, and is a standing adver-
tisenaent for 1t of high character.
The name, Normal School, has been
brought into disrepute, 1t is true, by
Inferior institutions, but there is q
field for q legitimate private school
above academy grade, which would
not compete with our University and
larger colleges and which would give
normal instruction along with virile,
modern literary, business and scfen.

Wilkinson with the school would be q

THE Columbia Herald's conception
OF a happy New Year is worth consid-
ering. The Herald says: The hap
piest year comes to those who are
most useful in the world. Indeed, the
greeting ought to be: A Useful New
Year! As we are useful to others and
ourselves, full of use to the world, we
win happiness that neither ease nor
luxury brings. We cannot expect to
get through the coming year without
trouble OF trial. We may anticipate
difficulty and care. If we a make
of these obstacles stepping stones to
higher things we will be using them
Alright. If we sit down disconsolate
and defeated before them all the fond
wishes of all the world cannot make

Without Pain or Interference
With His Labor.

In the month of September, when
DR.. Mayer first came to Mexico, 1 be-
gan taking treatment for a large
sized rupture from which 1 suffered
considerable: 1 was told by some
physicians that all 1 could do for it was
to have it operated on, but knowing
the great danger of such an operation
1 refused to do So. I looked upon the
matter somewhat skeptically when 1
read in the Mexico papers that DR..
Mayer does cure rupture without pain,
without delay from ones occupation
and without pay unless one is cured.
But I can gladly say to my friends
and the public that DIR. Mayer will do
all this.
He cured me perfectly in three
months treatment. While under
treatment I attended to all my work,
filing a large contract which / had
with r. r. Buckner for hauling and
delivering several hundred bushels of
orn without any Interference what
ever. All 1 had to do was to call at
the Ringo for treatment. lean cheer

SUGAR BETS IN MISSOURI.
Experiments 80 Far Have Not Been
Satisfactory.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Dec. 29.-Since 1890
the Missouri Experiment Station here
has been making experiments with
sugar beets sent from all counties OF
the State with a view to ~ascertaining
the per cent Of sugar contained In
the beets. To-day the authorities
gave out the result of their expert
ments of the last Z years. The results
demonstrate that it would not be
profitable for the Missouri farmer to
raise the beets for sugar purposes, II
he intends to 60 to the expense OF
erecting factories for developing the
sugar.
The per cent of sugar in the beets is
not high enough to justify the risk Of
loss to the farmer. Many OF the beets
analysed here showed a high per cent,
but as a whole the results were rather
disappointing for the prospects of the
beet industry.
The station intends, however, to
continue the experiments next year
on a larger scale. Beets sent from the
northeastern counties Of the State
showed the highest per cent of sugar.
The counties of Lewis, Scott, Schuyler,
Sullivan and CLARK sent the best beets.
The highest average where three or
four samples were received belongs
to Schuyler, with an average of 1873
per cent of sugar. Sullivan county
leads among those sending in but two
samples, with an average of 1871. For
the sugar beet to be profitable 1t must
contain ~ per cent of sugar. The
average Missouri beet does not CON
tain that amount.
