AT THE The Complete Text of the Ha. waiian Treaty. AN INTERESTING DOCUMENT. The President’s Message to the Senate States That Annexation Is the Inevita¬ ble Conseqence of Relations Long Main¬ tained. Other Matters ot Interest. Will Co to Chioago. President McKinley and his cabinet have accepted an invitation to take part in the unveiling of John A. Logan statue, in the Lake Front Park, Chi¬ cago, provided the date set, July 22, should not be the day of adjournment of congress or very close to tho last of the session. Wants ffalf a Million. John S. Miller, counsel for Alonzo B. Bowers, of California, and John B. Brown, of Illinois, recently filed a pe¬ tition in the court of claims demand¬ ing a judgment against the United States for §500,000 for the use by the government of a patented dredging machine owned by the claimants. Will Affect Pension Claims. Assistant Secretary Davis, of the in¬ terior department, has rendered a de¬ cision that will affect many claims for pensions. He has reversed the action of the pension office in the case of Catherine Geronzin, which rejected the claim for pension because there was uo proof of the death of the soldier^ Heading Off Dingley Bill. More tea is now afloat on the Pacific ocean than ever before at one time. The importers of New York aud other eastern cities have made large pur¬ chases iu China and Japan for imme¬ diate delivery and are having it hurried across the Pacific in order to enter it before the Dingley bill goes into effect. Our Minister to Spain. The president has nominated Stew¬ art L. Woodford, of New York, to be minister to Spain. Mr. Woodford is an old friend of Senator Platt, and the two have been on intimate terms since they wore colleagues in Chicago TTk-f/i ago. Woodford was born in New York September 3, 1835, and is a lawyer by profession. Jamaica Wants Reciprocity. In anticipation of the passage of the pending turiff bill by congress the leg¬ islative council of Jamaica has taken up a bill on its own account and ac¬ cording to the views of the United States commercial agent, Walton, at Port Antonio, duties on articles im¬ ported from the United States are to be largely increased, with the excepta tion that later on a reciprocity treaty may be negotiated. Japan Protests. Before the final signature of the Ha¬ waii treaty the secretary of state was presented a formal protest by the Ja¬ panese government, through its lega¬ tion here, against the consummation -of the agreement. The protest is un¬ derstood to be based on apprehension that the special treaties now existing between Japan and Hawaii, uuder which the Japanese enjoy advantages, will be affected injuriously by com¬ plete annexation.

John Sn GENERAL GORDON Declines to Stand for Re-Ek ction as Com¬ mander in Chie :. Atlanta, Ga., Sun :> 10, 1897. To My Confederate Com;; ades : It was my proud privilege to an nounce officialiy a few dtjys since that a thousand camps have ten iucorpo rated into the “Unit Coufederate Veterans,” a glorious brotherhood or¬ ganized for non-partisan and noble ends. All these camps /will be repre¬ sented, I trust, at our national reun¬ ion at Nashville. Thik remarkable growth of our organize tin on must be to you a source 1 of since re pride and pleasure. It will be welcome news to brave and magnanimous men iu every section of our country, who compre¬ hend its philanthropic aud profound patriotic aims. To me it is a source of gratification that our brotherhood has reached its present vast proportions during the years in which you have so steadfastly aud with suqli unparalleled unanimity honored with the position of Commander-in-Chiet’. This growth is more remarkable becanae it has oc¬ curred iu an organization which has no partisan purpose to stimulate its efforts, and no cohesion of sectional passion er selfish aims to bind it to¬ gether. While eliminating from its life all narrow prejudices that tend to dwarf its manhood, and while inspired by a sentiment most helpful to well the harmony of the sections aud the being of tho Republic, this representa¬ tive body of Ex-Confederate soldiers is resolved to guard through the po¬ tent agency of impartial history, the self-respect of our people aud to con¬ serve the manhood of Southern youth by transmitting, not the passions, but the hallowed memories of a marvel¬ lously heroic struggle. been Such a success could never have attained except by the earnest co-oper¬ ation of the able commanders of de¬ partments and divisions, aud of their oo-workers in tho camps. But those distinguished officers and the noble men commanded by them, will unite with me in according to General George Moorman, my chief of stafl, tho largest share of honor in the achievement of this great result. It is but simple justice to this superb stall officer to say that in all these years of of upbuilding, of anxiety, aud of la¬ bor, often amidst difficulties and dis¬ couragements of the gravest character, lie has given his time, his thought, his energies and his talents, ungrudgingly and without a dollar of compensation to the arduous task imposed upon him by the duties of his office: aud no amount of work for the welfare of the organization has been too onerous or exacting for I1 14U lo .cheerfully andeffi ciently perform. this gratifying Iu announcing grateful suc¬ cess I wish to make my most acknowledgements to my oomrades of every rank, in every state. While it has been one of the chief pleasures, as well as highest honors, of my life, to serve in the station to which your par ciality has so repeatedly called me, and while I shall ever cherish the numberless evidences of your confi¬ dence, yet I must ask you to prepare for the selection at Nashville of some one else as your commander. You are my witnesses that I have repeated¬ ly in the past sought to surrender this high and responsible position; and I have yielded my purpose only at your earnest solicitations. It must be ap¬ parent to you no w that whether the exigencies supposed to exist in the past were real or fancied, there cer tainly no longer exists any sufficient reason for asking Lay continuance iu that high office. Fortunately for tho well-being of our issociation. thero is no difficulty in selecting from the many illustrious «x-soldiers of the Southern army a oommauder, whose ability and devoti-mi will onsure the continued growth and lrarjnony of tho United Confederate^ Veterans.
