PROCEEDINGS OF A CAUCUS LARGE MAJORITY OPPOSED TO ACQUIRING HAWAII Speaker Reed Says That Republicans ‘Will Surely Live to Regret the Administration’s Course. Epectal Dispatch to The Call Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, June 14. The Democrats of the House held a caucus this afternoon from 5 to 7:30 to consider the Newlands resolution | and define the party policy. Richard- son of Tennessee acted as chairman. Speeches were made by Bailey, Dins- more, Fleming of Georgia, Hay of Vir- ginia, McRae of Arkansas, Clayton of Alabama and Williams of Mississippi in opposition to the Newlands resolu- tion. Sulzer of New York, De Vries of California, Cockran of Missouri, Brucker of Michigan, Taylor of Ala- bama and Ermentrout of Pennsylvania spoke in favor of it. King of Utah moved that the action of the caucus be considered as binding, but this was defeated. Dinsmore’s res- olution against annexation was finally adopted by a vote of 51 to 17. In the course of his remarks oppos- ing annexation, Fleming of Georgia said Speaker Reed, In conversation | with him recently, expressed the opin- ion that the policy of acquiring terri- tory remote from our shores was un- wise. The Speaker said the Repub- lican party would live to regret Iits new-formed policy of colonial acquisi- tion. TO-DAY THE HOUSE WILL VOTE ON ANNEXATION Fate of the Newlands Resolution to Be Decided at 5 0’Clock This Afternoon. WASHINGTON, June 14.—Eight hours, mprising the afternoon and evening | sessions of the House to-day, were de- voted to the debate on the Newlands res- olution for the annexation of Hawali. Twenty speeches were delivered, most of | them brief. A vote will be taken at 5| o’clock to-morrow afternoon, and in order | to give time for speeches which members desire to make the Hopse agreed to meet at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. The | resolution, according to estimates to-day, will receive, with the exception of not more than twelve, ail the Republican votes and will enlist the support of from fifteen to twenty Democrats and members | of other parties. | Grosvenor (R.) of Ohio was recognized | first, and in introducing his remarks said | ding question was not one of party | and he would not appeal to any | Republican colleagues who might constitutionality of the ation, he contended the “ongress in the ‘‘gen- of the constitution. im that Hawaii is un- | a naval or commercial point ansit, because Unalaska, on X now an American posses- sion, is a route $00 miles shorter than the Honolulu route, Mr. Grosvenor presented a letter from ' Commodore Melyille in which he said that, while the Unalaska route was the shorter, the dense and long-continued fogs, the ice floes and | storms at and off Unalaska, and the ab- | sence of commerce in the Aleutians made the northern route unsafe and unprofit- able for merchant and passenger ships. | Proceeding, he touched lightly the sug- | gestion that American labor, with its vig or, intelligence and energy, would be af fected by the slight competition which | it would meet at the hands of the Asiat- fcs in the Hawailan Islands. Mr. Gros- | venor said he advocated the resolutions upon a ground entirely separatd from any war emergen He saw in the near fu- ture a wonderful development in the com- merce of the East, and in order to pro- vide for the western part of the country to secure a just and profitable share in that wealth of commerce, “this half-way house upon the highway of the Pacific’ was essential. The Ohio member was el- oquent in his defense of the Hawalian people against charges of ignorance and | barbarism, and referred in terms that ought generous applause to the atti- de of that republic in ignoring all neu- ality law and standing out against the world to give American soldiers a resting ace in order that they might go on to | ctory at Manila. He denied that the in- telligent natives of Hawall wer opposed to_annexation. Mr. Richardson (D.) of Tennessee fol- lowed in opposition to the pending mea: ure, laving down the general proposition that only self-interest should be consid- ered in contemplating any step affecting the Government, and from that point of view yne would he treat annexation. Mr. Richardson said he was a firm be- liever in the Monroe doctrine and wanted its integrity to be preserved, but he was convinced that annexation would be a step that would end unavoidably in the abandonment of the doctrine. Mr. Cochran (D.) of Missouri, in a speech replete with comparisons with policies of the countries of Europe, ar- gued in advocacy of colonization, not of conquest. Failure to annex these islands, Mr. Cochran said, would be to invite war, for in five years, left to the present con- dition of population, the Governmeat cf Hawali would be revolutionized' and in five years the country given over to pagan_control. The Philippine Islands formed an entirely different proposition, and he protested vigorously against the foisting of that proposition at this i{lme to_strangle a righteous issue. Pearce (R.) of Missouri disputed the contention that Hawaiian annexation marked the beginning of a policy of col- onization contemplated by this country. He announced that if the question were brought up in Congress he would vote for a territorial government there. Howard (D.) of Georgia, in a speech oc- cupying more than an hour opposing the resolution, elaborated on the principal ar- guments advanced by the opposition and devoted much time to a careful review of American diplomatic relations with Ha- wall. He denominated the dominant gov- ernment in Hawaii as the ‘government of sugar, for sugar and by sugar.” ulzer (D.) of New Ygprk and Hamilton (R.) of Michigan In brlef speeches sup- ported annexation. Shafroth (Sil. Rep.) of Colorado concluded the afcernoon’s tre- bate. He opposed the resolutions. At 5:15 a recess to 8 o'clock was taken. At the evening session few members were present and but a few scattered oc- cupants of the. galleries looked upon the speechmakers. hose who addressed the House were Barham (R.) of California, Speery (R.) of Connecticut, Bromwell (R.) orOhlo. Hilborn (R.) of California, Show- alter (R.) of Pennsylvania, Stover (R.) of Michigan, De Vries (R.) of California, Packer (R.) of Pennsylvania, Davidson (R.) of Wisconsin, Gibson (R.) of Ten- nessee, for, and Crum}mcker (R.) of In- diana, Kitchen (D.) of North Carolina, and Broussard (D.) of Louisiana against the resolution. The House adjourned at 11 o'clock. —_——— SENATE LOBBY TO BE_INVESTIGATED Lodge’s Resolution Ordering an Inquiry Is Passed by the Upper House. WASHINGTON, June 14—At to-day's session of the Senate the resolution of Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts, directing that an | not ¢h | cent inter inquiry be made into the disposition made of the Methodist Book Concern claims which were paid recently by Congress, was adopted without a dissension. In the course of the debate upon it, Mr. Morgan of Alabama charged that the resolution was insincere and had been drawn for po- litical effect. This statement Mr. Lodge denied vigorously, saying his only purpose in offering the resolution was that all the facts concerning the matter should be laid before the people to the end that more care'should be exercised in the future. He hoped that as a result of the proposed in- vestigation a general law would be passed to eliminate the professional lobbyist from legislative equation. In the course of the discussion Mr. Mor- gan said that only to-day he had been informed that a claim of $388,000 paid re- centli by Congress to the estate of John Roach had been lobbied through Congress and that the lobbyist had received &0 per cent of the money. He maintained that if the Senate was going into the investigat- ing business this and other similar re- ports should be looked into. The measure to incorporate the interna- tional American bank was under discus- sion for three hours. Final action was not taken on the bill. A bill to authorize a retired list for en- listed men and appointed petty officers of the United States Navy was passed, Mr. Allison called up a joint resolution the House vestérday appropri- 51 to pay the Bering Sea award. llison explained that precisely the same provision was contained in the sundry civil bill. As the award had to be paid on June 16, and as it was manifestly impos- sible to secure the enactment of the sun- dry civil bill by that time, it was neces- sary to present a special measure to car- ry the appropriation. The resolution was agreed to. A Senate bill to provide a home for aged and infirm colorad people was passed. At 2 o'clock the bill for the organization of a Pan-American bank was laid before the Senate and Mr. Pettus spoke in op- position to the granting of the proposed charter. He said such institutions as this were calculated to stimulae such gam- bling transactions as those which had re- rred in Chicago, where it is sible for the poor to secure tanding the abundance of eat. aking of the Chicago trans- actions, Pettus said he thanked God that the perpetrator had gone where he ought o _go. In an extended reply to some of the le- gal propositions advanced by Pettus, For- aker said the Committee on Foreign Re- lations had most carefully considered ail phases of all questions bearing upon the biil, and had unanimously reported it in the belief that it was an excellent meas- ure, Pettus offered an amendment to the bill providing that the proposed bank should rge or receive more than 6 per st on loans. Pending vote upon the amendment, Perkins of California presented an argu- ment in favor of the bill. He argued that the proposed bank was a duty to the peo- ple of this country who desired to do busi- ness with our Central or South American neighbors, and it was a notice to the world that the United States proposed to make an effort to reach out for the busi- ness of the Western Hemisphere. The Senate at 5:10 p. m. went into ex ecutive session and soon after adjourned. A DISHONEST DOMESTIC. Lawyer T. Z. Blakeman’'s Mongolian Scoops Up the Family Jewelry and Decamps. Until Sunday afternoon the household of T. Z. Blakeman, an attorney residing at 1607 Gough street, was the proud pos- essor of a Mongolian servant whose jual would be hard to find in the kitchen | and about the house in general, but un- | | fortunately for the ladies of the family | Bonita there was too much faith reposed in “John,” and there is now weeping and wailing in the home that was happy be- fore he departed.

New parlors were organized as follow: Vendome Parlor No. 100, Conrad Pa lor No. 101 and Alelia Parlor No. 102. The membership has steadily increased. During the year the grand president visited fifty-seven of the sixty-seven parlors. Sickness prevented her from carrying out her original plan of visit- ing every parlor. The recommenda- tions of the report are: First—That the grand officers have appropriate grand officers’ regalia. Second—That a subordinate parlor in the locality of the Grand Parlor be held to exemplify the ritual. Third—That the past grand presi- dents and grand officers attending the grand parlor be required to deposit with the grand secretary. a receipt showing they are in good standing on July 1 succeeding the meeting of the Grand Parlor. 3 Fourth—That _there be a relief com- mittee in San Francisco, to consist of three representatives of each parlor; that it should be the duty of such re- lief committee to consider and refer all cases of sickness or disability of sis- ters not members of San Francisco par- lors to sald city in rotation, which in any case referred are to take entire charge of said case. At the afternoon session a congrat- ulatory telegram from Grand President Conley_and Grand Secretary Lunstedt of the Native Sons was read. The re- port of the grand secretary was sub- mitted, showing a healthy and prosper- ous condition. The membership is 2882. Alta Parlor ranks first in membership. The report of the grand treasurer shows a balance of $3259 35 in the treas- ury. The greater part of the afternoon was devoted to patriotic service in honor of the anniversary of the adop- tion of the stars and stripes by Con- gress. Addresses were delivered by Past | Grand President Wittenmeyer, Miss | Eliza D. Keith, Miss Lillie Richling, Mrs. Baker and others. Mrs. Carlie of San Francisco sang “The Flag That | Stirs Our Souls,” and also a song of her own composition, entitled, “Yes, We Remember Thee.” The service was con- cluded by the singing of the “Star- spangled Banner” by the Grand Par- lor.

Many mothers hesitate to take their | daughters to a physician for examina- | tion; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham’s address is Lynn, Mass. ¢ The following letter from Miss MARIE | F. Jouxsox, Centralia, Pa., shows what neglect will do, and tells how Mrs. Pinkham helped her: “My health became so poor that I had to leave school. I wastired all the time, and had dreadful pains in my side and back. I was also troubled with irregularity of menses. I was very weak, and lost so much flesh that my friends became alarmed.

Mr. Pemberton has written a stirring romance of love, adventure, and political intrigue, and no reader who begins his tale will be content to leave it unfinished. The interior of the gloomy fortress of Kronstadt, the Baltic, the Finnish Isl- ands, and London, furnish the background for swiftly moving scenes which are tense with suspended interest, with the power of love, and with the stress of eril. Although a story of the present ay, the pulse of adventure and romance throbs as strongly in these pages as in a mediaeval tale. Arachne. An Egyptian Romance. By Dr. GEORG EBERS, author of “Uarda,” *“Joshua,” “An Egyptian Princess,” etc. Uniform edition. In two volumes. 16mo. Per vol., cloth, 75 cents; paper, 40 cents. In “‘Arachne” Dr. Ebers returns to the Egyptian field in which he has gained such wide popularity. The story opens in 274 B. C. The opening scenes are laid in a little town near the Nile Delta, and later the movement of the romance transfers the reader to Alexandria. Messrs. D. Applcton and Company are the publishers of the complete edition of Dr. Ebers’s works. EDWARD BELLAMY'S GREAT BOOK, E li quality. By EDWARD BELLAMY, author of “Looking Backward,” “Dr. Heiden- hoff’s Process,” etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25. ““The book is so full of ideas, so replete with suggestive aspects, so rich in quot- able parts, as to form an arsenal of argu- ment for aposties of the new democracy.” —Review of Reviews. “So ample was Mr. Bellamy's material, so rich is his imaginative power, that ‘Looking Backward’ scarcely gave him | room to turn in.”—New York Times. These books are for sale by all booksellers; or they will be sent by mail on receipt of price by the publishers. COMPANY, 72 Fifth Avenue, New York. AMUSEMENTS, THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
