CUBA LINKED WITH HAWAII.
Senator Mason Has a Belligerent Tail for
the Annexation Kite.
, Washington, Feb. 7.—Unless the sup-
porters of the Hawaiian annexation
treaty should agree to take a, vote at
an early day this week, practically the
whole of the weekwill be devoted to
the further consideration of the mat-
ter in the Senate.
Senator Mason thinks he will be able
to throw some life into the proceedings
to-morrow when he proposes to intro-
duce his resolution requesting the
President to take vigorous steps to put
an end to the war in Cuba.
“I cannot wait more than two or-
three days," declares Mr. Mason.
“Something must be done, and I will
at least give the Senate a chance to do
a: lot of talking. It is a shame that our
Government permits such a state of af-
fairs to exist in Cuba.”
It is uncertain as to appropriations
being considered in the Senate this
week. "Mr. Hale would like to call up
the diplomatic bill, but he is afraid to
on account of the eagerness of the Cu-
ban sympathizers to again discuss that
exciting subject. Then, again, the Re-
publican leaders wish to hold this
measure back until after the Hawaiian
treaty is disposed of.
The programme for the week in the
House has not definitely been decided
upon. . The Sundry Civil and the Gen-
eral Deficiency are the only appropri-
ation bills yet to'be reported from the
reg: lar committee, of which Mr. Can-
non is chairman.
Sneaker Reed and the other House
Re publ‘ican leaders do not conceal
their ardent desire to force an ad-
journment of Congress by the middle
of May or the first of June. Of course,
much will depend upon the fate of the
Hawaiian treaty. If that is beaten in
the Senate its advocates will undoubt—
edly try to bring about annexation by
means of ordinary legislation, and, to
quote one Congressman, “right there
trouble will sail in‘and engage board
~for the season." Mr. Reed is furiously
opposed to annexation, and he has ‘in-
fluence enough, it is believed, to carry
Mr. Hitt and other prominent Repub—
licans with him.

. GERMANY’S EXCLUSION ORDERS.
Eighty-one Cases of American Fruit Ex-
cluded--May Exclude Horses.
Washington, Feb. 7.-—No additional
information about the German exclu-
sion of American fresh fruits has been
received at the State Department ex-
cept in a. brief cable message from
Ambassador White reporting that the
Consul at Hamburg had notified him
that the examination of detained fruits
iladf been commenced there. and that
ail-fresh fruit was admitted except in
eighty-one cases, in which the author-
ities claim to have discovered the San
Jose scale. The Consul added that
there was no trouble about dried fruits.
The officials of the department inter-
pret the failure of Ambassador White
tor. obtain detailed information about
’ the decree cf exclusion from the Ger-
man Government to the desire of Ger~
many not to make public its intentions
until it has been definitely determined
whether they are to be modified or to
stand as they are. The department is
satisfied that the original order was
considerably modified on account of
the protest of this Government.
Nothing is known here officially
about the reported desire of Germany
i0 exclude American horses, but it will
he no surprise to the administration
'if- such an order is isued. The officials
consider it merely as another evidence
of the desire of the Berlin Goyernment
to injure American trade. Some Amer-
ican horses are purchased for the im-
perial army, but the shipments do not
amount to more than a few thousand
dollars a. year. The enterprise has been
growing, however. In answer to a
question in regard to the exclusion of
horses; anofficial of the State Depart-
ment said: .
“We expect to hear next of the ex—
clusion of all American citizens from
Germany, on the ground that there is
influenza in this country."
New Immigration Bill.
. Washington, Feb. 7.—-—A substitute im-
migration bill is ready to be introduced
in the House by Mr. Corliss, of Michi-
gan. It will provide that no alien over
16 may be admitted into the country
who has not sufficient intellect to un-
derstand the nature 'of the government,
or who is not able to. support himself
and family. An'exemption is made for
parents and grandparents of immi-
grants, and for inhabitants of Ciiba
'who come over during the present trou-
bles. The bill also provides the bring-
ing into this country of persons to do
mechanical labor or work on public
improvements. A fine 0133500 or impris-
onment for one year and deportation
of the alien is prescribed for each of:-
lense. Many Republicans are pledged
to this measure.
All American ”Monte Carlo..
Chicago, Feb. 7.—Mike McDonald,
once the king of Chicago gamblers,
now a millionaire, is at the head of a
party of Chicagoans which has just
purchased Fighting Island, eight miles
~from Detroit, on Canadian soil, for the
purpose of establishing there a regular
American Monte Carlo. It is a gigan-
tic scheme. with a capitalization of $2,-
000,000 behind-'it. The island, eight miles
long, having an area. of 2,500 acres, is
sold for about $1,500,000 by George Do-
‘fi'le,’ of Detroit. The scheme,is-to con-
struct at once a race track on- the isl-

The Strike is Failing.
New Bedford, Mass, Feb. 7.—Fear is
expressed among strikers in the unions
that there will be a break to return to
work to—day. Unionists think that if

In every case of chronic nasal ca-
tarrh the lining membranes of the nose
are thickened and of a deep. red color,
while the superificial veins are swollen
and throbbing. In nearly every case
we may find patches of a grayish color,
and in not a few there is actual ulcera-
tion with more or less loss of substance.
The secretion is thick, tough, of a.
greenish character, and when the de-
3.1 uction is ve 11y rapid, of a fetid odor.
Large collections of dried secretions
may be adherent to the. middle‘ and
sides of the nose. W'heu inflammation
has existed a long time and ulceration
has taken place, puriform matter is se-
cret-ed and drops into the throat. This
is one of the most dangerous features
of the complaint, and this matter often
descends into the stomach, causing fre-
quent vomiting and a general derange-
ment of health and finally ends in ca-
tarrh of the stomach. '
Nasal cat-arrh must be cured by local
treatment, and in this, cleanliness of
the nasal passages is the chief and and
aim. The custom of habitually hawk-
stopped; besides being disgusting, it. is
unnecessary and productive of positive
anUI'y.
By the use of California Catarrh
Cure perfect cleanliness of the nasal
passages is secured, and the peculiar
properties of the herbs used 'in its pro-
duction not only cleanses the mucous
membrane of all puriform matter,
soothing and allaying all inflammation,
but also effectually destroy all forms of
fungus which may grow in the Lhuoat
or nasal passages.
It- has cured cases of almost total
deafness, restored the ability to detect
odors to persons who had almost forgot
ten what an odor was, and has cured
cases that surely would have resulted
in total blindness. Let no one who
has suffered any of the evils of catarrh,
hesitate to secure a bottle of California
Catarrh Cure, with full faith that he
will obtain relief and cure. .
It is sold by all dealers; 50 cents,
three times as much $1.
llIore Ships—'fro‘m Spain.
Madrid, Feb. 7.—The Government has
decided to send two more cruisers to
the United State. They will probably
be the small unarmored cruisers, Cris-
tobal Colon, 1,130 tons and 1,500 horse
power, which is being rapidly armed
with new 24—centimetre «guns, and the
belted cruiser, Almirante Oquendo. 7,—
000 tons and 13,000 horse power. It is
not known at what ports they are in-
tended to call.

Explorer Nansen in England.
Liverpool. Feb. 7.-—Dr. Nansen, the
Arctic explorer. has returned here from
the United States. In an interview he
said he had found lecturing in America
as bad as Arctic exploring. When he
was not lecturing, he said, he was trav-
eling, and the American style of trav-
eling was not to his taste. He contra-
dicted the report that he would accom—
pany Peary on that explorer’s next ex-
pedition. .

London, Feb. 7.—The Times, referring
this morning to the claim of France to
an outlet on the navigable part of the
Niger for Soudan and Dahomey es-
tablishments, says: “France has no
right whatever to such an outlet; and
a pretension to obtain it at England’s
expense is a proposal which could only
be accepted on the hypothesis that
Great Britain had lost the power to de-
fend her legitimate possessions.”

addition to riding the circuit embrac-

the pines of the hills back of Julian.
After his sermon Mr. Wilson was ac«

“Did you write that article abOut

“I am responsible for it if I did not
write it,” replied the preacher.
“Well, if you are responsible for it,
take that,” said Putnam, striking at
the eloquent young parson.
The blow 'failedsto land. The parson
sailed into the minor and they clinch-

in a. cloud. The miner-s gathered
around and cheered the parson to the
echo. Within five minutes Putnam
was knocked out and the preacher was
calmly dusting off his plug hat.
Even before this occurrence Mr. Wil-
SOn did not lack popularity, but since
then his stock has gene up a. hundred-
