The now ships of the navy are so far

In tho dotnnmls of the Iron mnnufac

Lnsl winter, by a good majority, Hi"
senate ret used to pay more thnn $10(1
per ton. Now, through the efforts of
Senator ijuny and tho arguments of
President Schwab of tho Carnegie
Company, n majority is willing to pay
Itr, per ton. The somite roimuiltoo m

adopt; -I an iimvU'lui'-'I'V kj til1' tlolL'.'l

ami was nt mire nddeil to the appro

It will bo noted by lending the iiinend

R0 OPPOSITION.
Keither Japan nor Portugal will Intarfaro
with the Annexation of Hiwait.
The treaty for the annexation of
Hawaii which was sent to the Senate
and tins yet to be ratilled by that body
Is lint going to be protested by either
the Japanese or Portugese mlnimer, as
was expected.
Viscount Do Santa Thryso, the Por
tuguese minister, says he has no doubt
but Hint the Portuguese, colony in
Hawaii will be as amply protected un
der tho laws nf the t'nited Stntos as
under the present regime on the Is
lands, nnd he sees no possible reason
why Portugal should lodge a protest
against the treaty. The Chinese min
ister is inclined to think that tho
clause in the treaty excluding the fur
ther Immigration of Chinese to the Is
lands Is unnecessary, as thn exclusion
act would apply tn them if our Juris
diction were extended to Hawaii.
China has assented to the policy of ex
clusion and he sees no necessity for
comment nn that score. There are
about I'j.OOO Chinese In Hawaii.

Dr. Blaine, who was summoned tn at
tend Henatnr Pettiprew, said his Illness
was caused by a blood clot nn tho brain,
but that there would bo nn serious re
sults if he should be kept free from ex
citement. England May Intarfaro.
In the HoUHe of Commons Ernest
William Beckett, Conservative member
of Yorkshire, questioned the Govern
ment an tn whether it is aware that
"Queen Lllluokalanl has been deposed
by a small body of Americans, who,
without right or title, have assumed
sovereignity over Hawaii, and now tn
save themselves from tho resentment
of the people have requested the Amer
ican Government tn annex Hawaii and
whether Great Britain proposes to al
low this tnoHt Important coaling sta
tion to pass Into the hands of the Unit
ed States without protest."
Five Thouiand For a Widow.
A Senate amendment to the general
deficiency bill provides for the payment

Davidson, who was elected to Congress
In tho Twenty-fifth Pennsylvania di
strict, but who died before taking his
seat. It Is customary to pay the widow
of a Congressman the amount of un
drawn salary of the year when the Con
gressman died. As Mr. Davidson had
drawn no salary, Mrs. Davidson will get
the full pay of a year, th provision be
ing Inserted In the deflency bill by tho
Senate on account of the confused con

But no Incident nf the Jubilee thus far.
nr any event In ronnortlon with any
other Jubilee nr ceb hration could com
pnr.' with tho enthuslusm and excite
ment of Tu -sday when occurred tho
royal parade. At midnight the people
begun to assemble in order to secure
tho most promising places from whl.'h
to behold the pageant. Hours they
were In waiting but British enthusiasm
mado them patient. At the appointed
hour the field marshal received word
that tho queen had entered her car
riage and the march proceeded accord
ing tn programme.
The column was headed by Captain
Ames, the tallest officer in tho British
army. Then came the Colonial division
followed by the African troops. The
Canadian troops were preceeded by
Hon Wilfred Saurler, premier of Can
ada. For nearly an hour thereafter
came rank after rank of the British
army.
Then the pageant became even more
brilliant than before. The foneign mili
tary and naval attaches were next, in
cluding MaJ.-Gen. Miles. Lleut.-Col.
Well, I'nlted States naval attach", and
MaJ. Ludlow, formerly I'nlted States
military attache. The Americans wore
modest uniforms, but attracted a great
deal of attention. At length came the
personal escort of tho sovereign, and
thu enthusiasm rose to a high pitch.
An Indian escort of 20 native officers
followed, and then come the moment
for which the many millions had boon
waiting. Field Marshal Lord Wolsaloy,
commander in chief of the British army
rode by alone, and then was seen the
chariot in which sat the queen. At this
time tho sun was shining brightly. As
her majesty approached the cheer
were deafening and pverwhelmlng. Tho
queen sat apparently unmoved at this
popular ovation, though she was sever
al times compelled to show the emotion
she felt. While she was tho recipient of
the grandest outpouring of popular ad
miration and affection ever vouchsafed
to a sovereign, she could unfortunately
see little or nothing of the grandeur of
the pageantry of which she was the
central figure.
Earl Howe, the Oold Stick, while rid
ing behind the Queen In the procession,
was thrown from his horse and received
a nasty cut In the head. He was taken
home in the ambulance.. Lord Howe
is in his "Hth year.
