The house passed the Hawaiian annexation resolutions, ns has all tine time lieen feared it would whenever the opportunity was given. The vote was not on party lines, though the greater number of votes registered against the resolutions came from the minc.iy side of the chamber. The result showed that the mis taken effort of some democrats to commit the party one way or the other, on this proposition, and thus make it a political issue, failed en tirely, and tt is well that it did fail. The resolutions now go to the senate, llow soon they will be there it is im possible to say, blit there is every reason to believe that it will be before an adjournment for the session is taken. WHAT THE SE YATE MAY DO. A poll ot the senate nhows fittysix votes certain for annex'’, .ion -and sev eral others are doubtful. Indeed, the vote is not more chan two or three short of the sixty AOter needed tr ratity the treaty. Of these, at least forty-six have agr-v. ' to resist any and all efforts to a ijo i congress in advance of the settlement of this question. These gentlemen have also agreed that the debate on the resolu tions shall be in executive session. This will, it is believed, force early action. Those who are inclined to filibuster against a final vote will find very little encouragement m doing so, when they are compelled to make their soeeches to empty’ galleries and have no chance to get them into the v@ ord. It is hardly probable that .f ti : <: bate were to beheld in : - - . n li few who are inclined to filibuster would meet with much icouragement. A number of sen ators who are opposec to annexation will not lend themselves to a filibuster They say the question is a great one and upon it there are honest differ cnees of opinion when it comes to a vote they will cast ' heirs in the neg ative, but they will not join in an ef fort to prevent the majority from casting their votes in favor of annex ation. Spame’s Army Worthless. An attack from the rear is made on Spain by the correspondent of Bis mark’s organ, the Hamburges Na christon, who Was been in Spain for a month carefully observing conditions there. He declares that country is uttery unprepared for war. The army is worthless. The soldiers are lazy and know almost nothing concerning army evolutions and the effective use of war implements. The forts are weak, the guns :n them are antiquated, the reserve fleet is worthless for fighting. “1 give the American fleet three hours in which to silence all Uie guns in the north part of Cadiz.” says this observer. “After that the Yankees will blow up the torpedo beds, which are sup ppsed to make the harber impregna ble, and they can do what they please.”—Ex. The Chicago Chronicle says: “Lieut. Hobson may well be proud of his lineage, for he himself has done some thing worthy of worthy ancestry. His great great grandfather, a soldier n the war for American independence, fought with distinguished bravery at King’s Mountain and Cowpens. His grandf; ther wa a colonel in the vol unteers and fought with Andrew Jack son below New Orleans and was afterward United States senator from Tenuessee. For forty' years his grandfather was chief justice of North Caroloina, and his father entered the Cordfederate service in 1861 and fought throughout the war. SS(O SAVED.

Thero seems to be verygeneial sat isfaction with the tax on adulterated flour, which is included m the war revenue bill. The tax is four cents a barrel in addition to a license of sl2 upon manufacturers. The horse of repiesentative has had before it almost ever since the present session began several bills to tax adulterated and mixed flours. The bill presented by Representa tive Tawnev, of Minnesota, was re ported by the committee, and would have been passed as a separate meas - ure had not its main provisions been embodied in the war tax bill. One of the reasons urged in support *of this measure was that our flour export trade would be injured by adulterated proa lets which are becoming so com mon. Last v<-we exported 15,000, OCO barrels of flour, and this great trade would be liable to hostile foreign legi-lalionjif we did not protect the purity of our flour. Not only will the tax on adulterated flour produce a considerable revenue, but the stamps which must be placed on every barrel of such flour will protect the public at home and abroad from imposition. The adulterants of wheat flour most commonly used are flounne, which is a refuse starch of glucose factories; mineraline, a powdered white clay, or kaolin; bartytes, a pul verized white rock, and corn flour. Some of these adulterants are com paratively harmless while others are indigestible and hurtful. In any case the purchases has a right to know just what he is buying, and the adul terated. flour tax will probably re tained permanently..—Atlanta Jour nal. Two years ago 11.

The news comes that Mr. dußignon is greatly inclined toward the senaate chamber at Washington We Tegard Mr. dußignon a capital gentleman but would respectfully advise him not to offer iust now! No body is going to be able to defeat Hon. A. O, Bacon for senator. He has made a reputa non second to none in Washington. He is a clean, able, progressive and yet conservative officer. It is poor policy to exchange a first-class man for aa experiment. This we would do, if we should elect Mr. dußignon or any one else to succeed Senator Bacon. We scarcely think that anything will materialize against Bacon, bnt if there should so much the wore for the materialization. —Echo Gazette. The Oldest Patent Applicant.

Pulher creek trestle, on the Blue Ilidge and Atlantic railroad, 01 leet in height, three and a half miles soutn of Tallulah Falls, fell in Tuesday evening at 5:30, carrying down a u whole train of cart and engine, with crew ol five men and two passengers. The entire train of cars and trestle were burned, Engineer Henry John fion has a terrible wound on the head, cut by track rails as the traiu went down. He is not expected to live.

PrfcG, 23'- Spain’s Pian. It is now very apparent that Spaiu contemplates an attack upon her bor der by our fleet. That is thi oulv logical con struction to place npon her action in keeping the Cadiz fleet at home. Then she has of late been very ma terially strengthening her coast de fenses. At the outbreak of hostilities it was generally thought that Spain would harrass our commercs and bombard our coast defenses, If that was her original purpose it seems that she has changed her plans and that sho can best tesist the encroachments of the United States by acting on the defens ive.—Commercial. Why? Why isn’t thunder a sort of weather report? Why isn’t a sausage loving dog a canibal. Why isn’t mao’s love for whiskey a stillaffection. Why shonlden’t soldiers sleep on their knap sacks. Why isn’t a farm in Dakota good ground for divorce? Why doesn’t cause a person to get off the earth? Why go to the Klondike when our harbors are full of mines? Why doesn’t a fly on a bald head occupy a ticklish position? Why isn’t the criminal who is hand cuffed by a policeman copper fastened. Why doen’t some genius oonrtruct an airship, using May wheat as the model? When you start out to“tackle” the ftnvtribe don’t forget to take a bottle of Dr. Tichenor’s Antiseptic, Nothing equal to it for fin wounds, fish hook wounds hits and stings of insects and it is no bad thing for “snake bite ” Remember it cures colic also while you wait about ten minutes.

Twenty-five years ago this theory was used is a basis for the formula ot Browns’ Iron Bitters. The many remarkable cures effec-teu by this famous old household remedy are sufficient to prove that the theory is correct. Browns 7 Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers. Tain able to Women.

While Rear Admiral Sampson, on the bridge of the flagship New York, watched the bombardment of Santigo de Cuba this morning, he saw two guns of the eastern battery, apparent ly in positoin. He stopped the New Yo kas she was going back to her blockading position, aud personally directed the filing of ibe 8-inch guns at iliose marks In the admiral’s gentr.il orders for the boaiabrdment, issued last night, occurs the soliowing paragraph. “Fire will be deliberate, and, after the batteries are silenced, it will be carefully directed to their deliuction. Ammunition will not be thrown a way. Careful instructions will l.e given to the gun captains not to fire unless they can s-e their mark, which in this ease, will he the enemy’s guns. These instructions were so weil carried out that Admiral Sampson, after the bombardment, said: “I do not believe there is much left of the western battery. It got a great hammering this morning. “The eastern fortifications were harder to hit. I think some of the guns we see there are quakers. “I wish Hobson and his fellows we''e not in Morro Castle. We would knock that down were it not for that reason. “I suppose the Spaniards deserted their gun“ soon after our fire opened. It would not do them any good to stay there.” If it is true that the guns of the Spanish warships have been mounted on the land batteries, the fact is of great significance . as it shows that Admiral Cerverahas given up hope of ever getting out oi the trap which Admiral Sampson guards. After the decks had been washed down and the guns eooled. Admiml Sampson set this signal: The firing on the western battery was exceeding lv good, especially of the Texas. As to the best methods of managing this crop there are somewhat conflicting opinions, bnt these result from a mis apprehension rather than from any real difference in the proper plans for plant ing, cultivating, etc. It depends upon the purpose for which the crop is in tended, as to which method should be adopted. If the crop is intended for fodder, that is, to be cut and cured, the object is to secure a large yield of small and medium sized stalks, having an abundance of leaves and little grain. The plants may, therefore, be planted in narrow rows and crowded in the drill. In curing this crop the surplus moisture is dried out and we have a nutritious forage, which, supplemented with grain, makes a good and complete rat on. But in planting corn for the silo, the object is to secure a good yield of well de veloped stalks, each one bearing at least one well grown ear upon it. The plants must not be crowded too closely to gether. The rows should be at least bto 4 feet apart, and the plants should stand from 15 to 20 inches in the row. If the plants stand closer than this the stalks do not have room to mature sufficiently and the consequence is watery stalks, and the ears which form are not well filled with grain. Silage made from such corn as this is apt to be very unsat isfactory—sour and innutritious. From this explanation we see that fodder corn Aould be crow'ded as close as the strength of the land will admit, while a corn crop intended for the silo should have sufficient distance to produce a heavy yield of stalks aud cars suffi ciently matured to be cured into good, sweet silage. THE PEA CHOP. Field peas give us another crop for forage, of which too much cannot bo said. Among the many advantages of this crop is the fact that it can be sown from May until July, and also that it can be utilized as a three-fold food, for man, for beast and for the land. No matter in wliat way wo decide to use it it will return with interest whatever amount we have invested in it. MJI.LET. Millet also may be seeded at any time from Slay to August, and though it re quires richer land and more thorough preparation than corn or peas, it is a good investment where forage promises to be short. One bushel of German millet, sown on an acre of land, well prepared and the seed harrowed in, will make a heavy yield, and when cured at the proper time, that is before the seeds mature, will make a most acceptable ad dition to our forage supply..
