N. Eisendrath & Co., went on astrike yesterday against a cut of from 10 to 20 per cent in wages,and this morning 1,500 more are out of employmeut, because other leading tanneries in this city have closed their doors against their workmen until a settlement is made in the Eisendrath establishment.

He expects to remain in Washing ton only two weeke, and, while all the higher officials refuse to make any statement,it is the general opin- ion that annexation negotiations with the United States Government have reached an acute stage. There has been for some time a serious difference of opinion in the Cabinet as to whether the Govern-| ment should insist upon certain conditions in the event of annexa tion, or should leave everything for the American Congress to determine. Bat these differences have all been adjusted, and President Dole and the members of the Cabinet are now a unit in the opinion that there should be no conditions whatever imposed by this Government, but! that annexation, pure and simple, be accepted.
