WASHINGTON. Jan. 10. ( Special Tole-
firam. ) Now that the ( Hawaiian ann -
tlon treaty la before the sonata thcro
Is lnuch , RhCRulntlon as tn whcro the
individual senators stand. Senator Thurs-
; { 011 has been placed on both sides
of the question , but It In now under
stood that ho has about reixched the conclu-
elon to vote acaln.it annexation. Ho rcalltcfl
that the proposed annexation Is a radical
departure from thn established policy of
this government. Thu senator has appreci
ated all the time tlio menace to the beet
fiigar Industry from the annexation of the
Island , * , sugar coming In from thorn and
being transported over transcontinental
lines at a very low rate , putting the novercal
and sharpest point of competition directly
on Nebraska and adjoining states , where
the roll and climatic conditions combine
most favorably for the production of the
rugar beet. For these masons ho will , It ta
now thought , vote against the treaty. Gear
ot Iowa will also vote against the measure ,
and tonight It looks as If the treaty were
tlounicd to defeat.
13x-Senator G. C. Moody of Deadwood Is
In the city. iMr. iMoody comes hero to try to
get congress to extend the time for the sus
pension of Cleveland's forestry order. It will
bo remembered that during the discussion of
the last sundry civil appropriation bill
then ; was a great deal ot talk about the
die-aster1 which the enforcement of that for
estry reserve order would work to many of
the northwestern states , and congress pro
vided tint the order should 'bo ' suspended
until March 1 next , In order that surveys
might bo made. .Mr. McoJy said this even-
"The surveys have not yet been completed
and wo nsk that congrtca still further ex
tend the time In order that It may bo fully
Informed upon the character ot the lands
pionosed to bo reserved and itho effect of
the reservation before proceeding further.
Them arc forty-two township ? In South
Dakota affected by Cleveland's order ; that
In 1,000 uquaru miles of land nre taken fro.n
thti public domain and reserved for forest
reserves , according to that proclamation.
' "his would prove a serious blow to the
development of 1'ennlngton , Cutter and
Lawrence counties , and It would deprive at
least l.fiOO homesteaders of title to Hml
which they have carnal under homestead
laws' . Wo are In hopes that congress will
take the necessary action to fully Investi
gate this subject In order that the procla
mation may bo modified before the final en
forcement of Its provisions. "
Mr. Mocdy Is alco Interested In preventIng -
T Ing the abandonment of Port .Mead , which
Is proposed by the War department , and
with Senator Kyle will go ibcforo the com
mittee on military affairs tn urge legislation
fixing the permanent character of the post.
HELPS OMAHA PACKKUS.
It has been proposed In the committee cm
agriculture to Impose a tnx of 5 cents per
plcco for Inspection of me"ats under the meat
Inspcct'lcfi law. Thte tux was to have been
paid , according to the proposition advanced
1 > y Secretary Wilson , by packers whcse meats
are Inspected for export. This would have
proven a serious drawback to packers In the
extension of their export trade and they were
heartily agolnst the proposition. Congress
man Mercer has beeti especially active In bo-
lialf of the tuckers of South Omaha and In
the full committee , after hearing the pack
ers' representatives. It was decided by a vote
of 7 to C to strike out the clause. This will

WASHINGTON , Jan. 10 , Senator Carter
of the senate -committee on territories and
Chairman Knox of the house committee had
a conference today , going over what legisla
tion Is necessary for Alaska. It wao agreed
that nothlnc should fco done In the w > iy of
giving Alaska a territorial form of govern
ment. In view of the unsettled character of
the population of that district. It wzs de-
elded that action should be taken glvin ; ;
more United States commissioners for the
district. There are eight of them and the
present proposition Is to make the coininla-
cloners subject to appointment by the courts.
Hoth gcnetJcmen thought that the present
lock of power of the towns and the commu
nities to levy taxes would bo rectified and
authority given them for euch purposes. The
matter of representation of the district In
congress was alao Informally discussed and
the conclusion reached that the Alaskan
people should bo accorded a delegate In that
hotly. It wftB also suggested that a court
bo created In Alaska with three judges to
sit at several convenient points , like Circle
City , St. Michaels and Sltka. Another prop
osition brought forward Is the codification
ot thn laws relating to Alaska. At present
the laws of Oregon are 'extended to Alaska
"as far as applicable. " This , however , la not
altogether satisfactory and the point I-1
made that the laws governing the district
should bo put on a more definite \na'ts. \ '

WASHINGTON , Jnn. 10. The opponents of
the civil service law had much the best
of the dcbato In the house today so far as
the number of those engaged In It were con
cerned. Nine of the eleven speakers were
of the opposition. The friends ot tlic law
are very anxious to nhut off further debate ,
and In this will have the co-operation ot
Speaker Reed and the rules committee. Mr.
Mooncy , who has charge of the bill , gave no
tice that ho would test the sense of the
house tomorrow on a motion to close debate.
The opposition Immediately sent word to all
In their ranks to bo on hand , and they say
they will have no dlfllculty In defeating the
motion ,
Tlioso who participated In the dcbato today
were : In opposition to the law Messrs.
Cooncy ( dem. , Mo. ) , Dorr ( rep. , W. Va. ) , Cox
( dem. , Tenn. ) , Little ) ( dom. , Ark. ) , Druinm
( rep. , Pa. ) , Cowherd ( dem. , Mo. ) , Sulloway
( rep. , N. II. ) , Low ( rep. , N. V. ) In defense
of the law Messrs. McCall ( rep. , Mass. ) and
Parker ( rfip. . N. J. )
Thn attendance In the house was light to
day , but the galleries were well filled. Tbe
civil service debate was resumeJ and Mr.
Coonoy ( dem. , Mo. ) toU the floor. He opposed
! he whole civil Hervlce reform Idea , which
tie denounced as a cheat and a narrow
swindle. A civil service pension list and
olIlco-holdlnB class , he argued , wcro logical
and Inevitable If It wns to te continued.
Mr. Dorr ( rep. . W. Va. ) followed with a
pet cpccch In opposition to the law. Mr. Cox
tlem. , Tenn. ) snld ho was so utterly exposed
, o civil aerirleo reform that ho would vole
n uU'lko out the appropriation for the com-
nUleo ftud fxsr the reveal ot the law , Mr.
< lltlo ( < U mvfc.1 < antascobo.l ttio vvlnslple ,

IIp. Urumm ( rep. , Pa. ) also opposed the
"reform cyctom. " Ho doubted , ho s.ild.
whether the president of the United States ,
members of the nupromo court. Ronato or
douse could pass tnmo of thn civU BPi'vioo
oxamlnatloiiB , He defended what wn.q known
03 the "political jntll , " which ho salJ ought
: o bo cultivated. Every young man ohould
bavo euch Influence , and " they did not have
t It wnu tbo br-el evidence that they worn
unworthy of political tirlvliegfii , Jin was
ready to vole for the repeal ot the Inw.
Mr. 'McCnll ( rep. , Muss. ) was the first
speaker today to defend the merit system.
In replying to the criticisms of sorno cf the
opponents of the law , ho raised a laugh at
ho expense of Mr. Grosvcnor , who , accord-
IIR to hla ( MoCall's ) calculations , wanted
over 115 per cent of the offices exempted
from the operation of the civil sarvico law.
Mr , Cowherd ( dem. , Mo. ) called attention
to oomo fllkKcd violations of the civil serv-
CO law In hlH dlntrlct. He said It was In.
consistent for the president to play to the
grandntand with grandiloquent support of the
aw , v/bllo his subordinates were entertain-
ng bleachers by "turning the rascals out. "
Mr. Sulloway ( rep. , N. H. ) proudly pro
claimed himself n spoilsman without any
nental reservation. The civil service law ,
10 said , had been conceived In Iniquity , born
n Infamy , and administered In cowardice and
) y democrats. He believed the government
belonged to Its friends. Mr. Sulloway's re
marks wcro very picturesque nnd kept the
anti-reformers in a continuous roar of ap-
iroval.
After some further remarks by Mr. Par-
tor ( rep. , N. J. ) In defense of the law , anil
dr. Low ( rep. , N. Y. ) In favor of n modi-
Icatlon of the law , the debate closed foi1
ho day.
Mr. Moody ( rep. , Maes. ) , In charge of the
) I11 , gave notice that tomorrow ho would
nako a motion to close the debate. Much
opposition was manifested , but no test was
nndc.
At 5 o'clock "tho house adjourned.

.Ion nt the opening of the senate today.
A bill was reported favorably from the In
dian committee , preventing railroad compa
nies from charging more than 3 cents a mile
or passengers through tno Indian territory.
The senate has gone Into executive session
o consider the Hawaiian treaty.
The Hawaiian treaty wa.3 not taken up 1m-
ncdlatcly In t'.io session , as a number of
lomlnotlrns were first confirmed.
Immediately after Iho treaty was calle.1
ip Senator Pettlgrow offered his motlo n for
onductlng the debate on It with open doors ,
vhlch was antagonized by Senator Davis ,
hairman of the committee on foreign rela- >
Ions , and others , the principal portion ot the
ebato for the first two hours of the session
being upon this motion It was contended
n the ono hand that there was no reason
or observing secrecy In presenting the ques-
lim because , as was alleged , there was no
point Involved which could not have been
horoughly canvassed before and which
night not bo discussed before the world at
arge. On the ether hand It was held that
ho Chinese question , which would no'.vs-
arlly enter Into the discussion , might prove
o bo somewhat delicate. The opinion was
Iso expressed that the debating of the treaty
n open senate would have the effect of
irolonglng the final determination In-
eflnltoly.
A majority of those favoring open doors
are opposed to ratification , hut not all of
hem are on that aide of the main con-
roversy.
The senate decided not to discuss the
rcaty In open wsslon.
At 3.45 the senate adjourned.

The tij.nl of the * caco ot the Modern Wood
men of America against the Union Nntl.ina
bank ot this city was begun In the fedora
court before Judge Mungcr yesterday. A
good portion ot the'day was tt > ent In the
omponelllng of the Jury. This work was
convicted nbout the middle of the afternoon
but before any testimony of account had been
Introduced a snsg In the shape ot a quesllor
ot law arose and { ho jury WAS excused untl
this morning whllo the attorneys argued the
point.
The Milt Is brought to recover bctwcci
$25.000 and $30,000 on a certificate of deposl
iMiied by the bank. Tlio money was deposltci
In the Hank ot Commerce ot Grand lsl m
by D , C. Zlnk , who was at that time he.ii
clerk of the order. This bank was n corre *
spondcnt of the Union National bank. The
Grand Island bank gave- the latter Its note
for the money and the latter credited the sum
to the order and gave Its certificate of de
posit. The Grand Island hank has slnco fallei
and the order Is seeking to recover the
amount on the certificate. The Union Na
tional bank alleges that It never received the
money and Issued the certificate only ns an
accommodation.
A. K. Talbot of Lincoln , a member of the
Dcard of Directors of ttie order , was the flrsl
witness called yesterday afternoon. Dut a
< w questions had been put to him when en
attempt was made to Introduce In evidence
through him the certificate of deposit. To
this the defense objected. The deposit ot the
money was made on December 31 , 1805 , while
the certificate Is dated January G , 1890. The
defense Insisted that this certificate was evl-
Icncc only ot a past transaction consummated
by the ngcnt of the Omaha bank , the LMnl <
of Commerce of Grand Island , by which thn
principal , the Omaha bank , was not bound.
Argument on the question was concluded
when adjournment ot court was taken In the
afternoon , but Judge Mungor reserved his
decision until this morning.

tornoy of the order , la assisting In the prose

I ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM f
A fine new fireproof library bnlldUig wss
recently opcnej In CeJnr Rapids , I i. , In
which I * stored the groitedt Masonic library
In the world. The originator , builder , conserver -
server and guardian angel ot this valuable
collection Is Theodore 3. Parvln. Mr. P.irvln
for more than half a century has hern busy
collecting books that pertain to masonry and
the result of his labors Is a library unique
In the world of books. Every rare work on
masonry has gone for years to his collection.
Dook sellers In every city of the earth hmo
watched and worked for him and he has been
the first to know about old editions turning
up In the world's market through .auction
sates and other channels. The most val
uable treasure Ui the collection Is the "Dook
of Constitutions" the first edition of 1722.
For this anJ a few others the llrltlsh museum
would pay a small fortune. The library
now contains about 39,099 volumes * i com
plete collection of books of inaMiiry. Mr.
Parvln has exhausted thi field anil there
arc no more rare books to get. Ho has
them all In the Iowa library. The Institution
Is not famed In America , but scholars alt
over the world know It. Students from the
orient , from India , from nil of the countries
of Europe have come to Mr , Parvln to use
the works untiring patience has gathered to
gether. Tlio story of his life from the time
ho came to Iowa In 1S3S as private secretary
to Governor Lucas Is the story of that col
lection of books. Ho has done nothing else ,
but that work has been thorough. The
library Is now In charge of Mr. Parvln and
his son. The old blblqphlte Is drawing to hln
catthly end among the volumes he lovcti so
well ,

Hint cynics are only happy In making- the
world as barren to others us they have
made It for themselves.
The true word spoken has Its chance of
somewhere alighting- and striking root.
Look not to that. Seeds perish In nature ;
good men fall. Look to the truth lu you.
and deliver It , with no after thought of
hope.
