must now be evident to even the most
careless observer of things political, as
reflected in Congress. The opposition
which invariably follows the announec-
ment of anew eabinet has been given
time to work itself out, and the result
will be that the new administration
will start out with the party which
placed it in power in an unusually
harmonious condition,
there will be quite a number of indi.
vidual disappointments as the distri-
bution of patronage proceeds, I see
nothing ahead that leads me to be-
lieve that this harmony will be ser-
iously disturbed during Mr.
land’s administration. This senator
declined to allow the use of his name,
or of having his words construed into
a bid for publie pap.
The ratification of the Hawaiian an-
nexation treaty is now considered
doubtful, so doubtful that Mr. Harri-
son’s friends in the Benate are afraid
to have it voted upon, lest it be reject-
ted. The Democrats, while not all
opposed to annexation, are almost to a
man opposed to ratifying this treaty at
this time. Senator Morgan, of
bama, is the only democratic senator
who has made a speech in favor of
immediate annexation, and his
as one of the Behring Sea arbitrators
have called him to Paris. It is th
general belief that no vote will be tak-
en upon the treaty at this session. In
that case President Cleveland may
withdraw the treaty and direct that a
new one be negotiated, if he

Mr. Harrison is now willing that
bonds shall be issued to increase the

that Secretary Carlisle will assume the
responsibility by requesting Secretary
Foster to issue them. The bonds have
been engraved and can be issued at a

A Big Strike for Eighty Cents,
Eight boys in the Nanticoke mines
who wanted ten cents more wages a
day precipitated the strike which has
now thrown 2,800 employees out of
work. The company refuses to give
the men an answer until March 1.
The eight boys worked in the deep
shaft. Their wages were 81.22 a day
and they asked for $1.32. Together
they would have received eighty cents
a day more, had the request been grant-
ed. Asitis now, the 2800 men and
boys lose about $5500 every day in
wages. The Susquehanna company’s
loss is also very heavy.
