Beers WANT ANNEXATION.
Envoy Vessels Saws President MckiB-
lev Will be Approached.

Omaha, Neb.. June 10.-Peace En-
WOW Vessels, in a confidential talk
with one of the best known men OF
Omaha. said the Beers would make
a proposal TO the United States look
ing to annexation of the Dutch re-
publics. The matter had been under
serious consideration for weeks. 1t
has been urged upon them that by SO
doing. although they would give up
their present independence, they
would become part of the greatest
and freest republic on earth, and
would be sure to retain for them
selves the greatest measure of civil
liberty. Annexation OF foreign coun-
tries has several presidents, notably
that of Texas and recently that OF
Hawaii. In the case OF Texas the
proposition was one made and re-
iected and later accepted. In the
case of Hawaii. after the treaty of
annexation had been delayed the end
was accomplished by legislative en-
actment. which requires merely a
majority of both houses OF congress.
In what situation annexation of
the Dutch republics would leave
Great Britain. or whether that nation
would seriously object 10 such pro-
cedure, has not vet been considered
by Mr.. Vessels or the other peace

Mckinley is also still to be sounded.

there is no doubt it will be submitted
this week. The fact that congress is

decision entirely with the president

The news that the shutting OFF of

Roodeval and Hebron was accom-

Il great surprise. In London, until

GOLD DEMOCRATS WAIT.

Prefer to See What Other Parties
Will Do.
New York. June S.-George Foster
Peabody, chairman ofthe gold Demo
cratic national committee. said:
"a It our meeting last Friday We
agreed that it would he wise for US
to wait until after the Philadelphia
and Kansas City conventions have
both been held before announcing
what we intend to do this year. We
will meet at indianapolis three weeks
after the holding of the Kansas City
convention. But by that time the
declarations of both conventions will
be made and we will have had time
to form an opinion as to what to do.
OF course the question of candidates
has been settled and we have some
idea OF what to expect in the way OF
platforms from the Philadelphia and
Kansas City conventions, but We
will have to wait until we see actual
declarations made by those plat
forms.
I'VE want to see what the republi-
canshave to say on what it is called
Imperialism, and then, again the Re
publican currency plank may not be
satisfactory. The same reasons APP
ply to the convention TO be held in
Kansas City. 1t may be found that
the delegates to that gathering will
listen to reason and that the conserv-
ative element is i'm control. Until
we know the exact situation it would
not be wise to commit ourselves to
any policy.
Ex-Secretary Olney, who is in
town. was asked about a third ticket
but he would not discuss the subject.
He said he was too busy to bother
with politics. Ex-Secretary j S Nor
ton was in the city and he disavowed
any interest in the possibility of the
field. 1t is said that should a gold
democratic convention be called it
would be held in Indianapolis.
