This met with such determined oppo sition on the part of the advocates of annexation that it was finally with drawn and Mr. Dlnsmore then offered l resolution declaring it to be the sense of the Democratic members of the House that the annexation of the Ha waiian islands would be dangerous and undesirable;-that it would reverse the traditional policy of the government, tnd that they believed It would lead to lolonial aggrandizement and ultimately .0 the destruction of republican insti tutions. This was adopted by a vote of 50 to 17. Estimates on the vote on the an nexation resolution to-day place the majority in favor of annexation at 50 o 60. The annexationists claim that they will have not less than twenty-six Democratic votes, and that they will tot lose more than six or eight Rcpub dcans. A WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT.

National Relief Commission. To THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES: Two hundred thousand men of our Army and Navy are in the service of the nation in its war with Spain. In obedience to the President's call and command they are enforcing the pur pose of tne country and its rulers in behalf of an oppressed nation, and therein are exposed to the perils of conflict and ot exposure on sea and land. It is meet and due that we, their fellow citizens, in whose behalf they venture so much, should do what in us lies to lighten their burdens and relieve their pains. There are hard ships which these brave men must endure alone, but there are some which we can share with them and which we wish to share in response both to the dictates of patriotism and the injunction of the divine charity : "Bear ye one another's burdens." To this end, many citizens of the United States, in public and private life, without respect to creed or party, have been prompted to unite in an organization known as the "National Relief Commission," and whose aims are here set forth. The National Relief Commission is organized in the spirit and with the general purposes of the Christian and Sanitary Commissions which operated so effectively during the Civil War. The primary object of this organiza tion is to aid the United States Gov ernment in caring for its soldiers, sailors, marines, and others, who may be disabled by sickness or wounds, and to relieve the families of combat ants, if need should require. To ac complish these ends, we call upon all Christian and all philanthropic people in the United States, without respect to creed or part>, to form auxiliary Relief Associations ; and in order to secure harmony of action and prevent the waste of energy, means and time, and in order to concentrate all efforts so that the best results may be obtain ed, we invite such associations to unite with us in perfecting a National Organization. A secondary purpose of the Relief Commission is to aid chaplains and others in maintaining the moral tone of the men in the Army and Navy by friendly visits from our agents and commissioners, and the representatives ol religious organizations and orders. It is our purpose, through these and other agencies and methods, as exigencies may arise, to contribute to the health and comfort of the men on duty; to afford assistance and support, as may be required, to surgeons and nurses in the healing and care of the sick and wounded ; to aid in the ad ministration of religious consolation, with due regard to the preferences and convictions of all ; to keep the men in close touch with home and its refining and helpful influences by extending facilities for ready communi cation with relatives and friends ; to facilitate the identification of those who may die in the service, and to aid kindred and friends in procuring the remains for home burial. In short, we will endeavor to help the men of the Army and Navy with such kindly, healthful and moral influences as will keep them "true to the kindred points of Heaven and Home." We are sure that the citizens of the United States are willing and able to aid the National Government to the fullest extent in caring for the disabled, and to promote in the above and kindred ways the health and comfort of soldiers and sailors and their fami lies. We know that the people have a mind to the work. We believe that it will do them good and deepen their love of country to permit their sympathies to have, full play ; that their patriotism will be strengthened by their endeavors to aid the suffering, and those in the field, and that their ■' (fIITjOW are the chll- '.

For these reasons we call upon all, of whatever religious or political be lief, individually, in Churches, in young people's societies, in benevo lent and other organizations and or ders, to form auxiliary associations in unison with the National Relief Com mission, for the collection of funds, and to do such other service as cir cumstances may require.
