A number of substantial per sons living outside of Spring field, one as far as ten miles, Iiave asked different members of the News force, lately, con cerning the annexation agita tion. Not a single one of them had anything complimentary to say for the project or for the agitators.

Gov. Harding's attitude was not de cidedly favorable, but consei vative. These actions seem to indicate a strong probability that the bill will pass. 0 Of all the acts of the peace conference, the one which has met with the most opposition has been the Pacific treaty, sometimes called the "four power pact." The handful of irreconribles, of both parties. who have seemed to make a merit of opposing about every thing that the representatives of the nations Jwere agreeing upon, have centered their op position on this treaty. If they could not make a breach on this, they could not on any thing. In the senate on Tuei- m- ..... ; Only the Purest Drugs are good enough for sick people.
