HAWAII WIILBE'ODRS
Annexation Is Already Prac
tically Accomplished.
SO DECLARES SENATOR LODGE
Ratification of tlie Treaty by the Sen
ate at the Kezt Session of
Congress Assured.
New York, Oct. 5. A dispatch to the
Herald from BoBton says : "
"I -look upon the annexation of the
Hawaiian islands as practically accom
plished," said Senator Lodge. "The
treaty will be taken up at once when
congress assembles in December, and I
think that there is an easy majority in
the Benate in favor of ratification. If it
should appear probable that opposition
is developing sufficient to defeat ratifica
tion, the remedy will be very simple.
There is a joint resolution of annexation
of the islands on the calendar which
does not require a two-thirds majority,
as is the case on the vote of a ratifica
tion of a treaty. A single majority in
both houses will accomplish the same
result, and that majority we have easily.
If it appears that the ratification may
fail we shall simply slip in the resolu
tion and act on that in place of the
treaty."
"What are your views as. to a form of
government for the islands after annex
ation?" "It is settled that we do not care to
admit Hawaii as a state into the Union.
Some form of territorial government
must be adopted, but just what it shall
be is not fully determined. I am in
clined to think we should give Hawaii a
form of government rather broader than
the ordinary territorial government.
For example, I should Rive the islanders
power to continue their legislative body
in two branches, whereas I believe a ter
ritory has a single house. A legislature
in two houses will give them a govern
ment similar to our states, but they will
not have the power to elect senators in
congress. The system of federal courts
must, of course, be extended to the isl
ands with district and circuit judges.
The local courts may be retained as the
people themselves desire."
"You would have the governor ap
pointed by the president?"
"Certainly; as the governors of terri
tories are appointed. I should prefer, if
I were to express a preference, that the
governor be appointed from the islands.
The question of suffrage should be left
to the government of the islands to ad
just as seems to it best, within the
limits of the constitution of the United
States beyond which no state or territory
can go. Before Christmas I certainly
expect that Hawaii will be American
territory."
SUNK OFF TBI BIVER
Collision Occurred Fifteen Miles Off the
Columbia in Clear Weather.
Astoria, Oct. 4. Shortly after 4
o'clock this afternoon, just as she was
completing one of the fastest trana-Pa-cific
sailing trips on record, the big four
masted German ship Peru crashed into
the little coasting schooner Orion, cut
ting her in two, and sending her to the
bottom immediately.
When the little vessel was struck by
the big steel ship, the captain was
thrown across the deck, badly bruised,
and every one of his four men were
knocked about and more or less serious
ly injured. They succeeded in grasping
ropes of the German bark and climbed
aboard, and thus made their escape.
Captain Nelson was loath to say who he

spent quite a sum of money without get

used six or eight jars, and am cured. It
is a great medicine, and I can fully rec

thought was to blame for the collision.
He avers that his schooner was on her
course for Shoalwater bay. The wea
t'aer was perfectly clear and the sea
rssootb. The accident occurred north
or the lightship, some twelve or fifteen
miles off the mouth of the river.
The Orion was en route from San
Francisco for Willapa harbor in ballast,
and at the time of the accident was on
the starboard tack, steering by the wind.
While the reticence of the men in charge
of the vessels makes it difficult to get at
the exact cause of the disaster, it is ap
parent from what little information they
volunteer that there was a miscalcula
tion as to the speed of the vessels, which
prevented their having sea room until
it was too late to avoid a collision.

hours the themometer went up to
eighty-six degrees, and according to the
signal service records this is the highest
point that has been registered for the
month of October in twenty-seven years.
Dense smoke aggravated the conditions.
On account of the drouth the last two
months everything is as dry as tinder
and forest and prairie fires are numer
ous. Lake Michigan has been made al.i.ost
unnavigable on account of the smoke
and fog. Captains of vessels hare re
ported a most alarming state of affairs.
Many have not slept for forty-eight
hours on account of the watchfulness
that was necessary. Boats picking their
way through the Straits of Mackinaw
were practically hampered. Land
marks were utterly obliterated, and the
light indistinct at a distance of a length
of the vessel. -
Marine underwriters are apprehensive
"of numerous standings on account of the
smoke, and bulletins from the lower end
of the lake are watched for with anxiety.
Chicago's southern wards and suburbs
are surrounded by prairie fires, and
dense smoke overhangs a lage part of
the territory lying south of Seventy
fifth street. Hundreds of acres of prai
rie have been burned over, and thou
sands of leet of sidewalks and fencing
have been consumed.
With fire on every side great anxiety
is being felt for the safety of towns with
out fire protection. Nothing short of a
drenching rain can possibly check the
progress of the fire.
A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him
to be in a most miserable condition. It
was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe
and recognizing it as dangerous be took
immediate steps to bring about a speedy
cure. From the advertisement of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was satisfac
tory in its results, is putting it very
mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and
the result was a speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recom
mending this excellent Cough Remedy
