WASHINGTON NEWS. a xic uiiuuauuuu liiu-Lier now taKes a new and decisive departure, in the aban donment of the treaty, and the presen tation of a joint resolution of annexa tion. The resolution substantially in corporates all of the provisions of the treaty, so that if it is adopted, it will not be necessary for our own Govern ment to do anything further in the matter. The treaty as ratified by the Ha waiian Senate is treated not as annex ation by treaty, but a cession by the Hawaiian Government of the sover eignity of the Islands to the United States. xntrtc ia xyyuivuuy a majority in both the Senate and the House in favor of the joint resolution. But we must contains an editorial column upon ir. The conservative Presbyterian papers deplore "the precipitation of a new is sue." Hard words are already spoken by the Old School theologians. One of them wishes that Professor McGiffert had left the church before writing the book. It is a pl:y that the theologians in criticising e-ach other, show about the some infirmities and hasty tempers, and the desire to make it hot for each other that the unregenerate show, in tneir wordly disputes. However, the ttruth prevails, in the end. Much that the Lord does in this world is not ap proved of by a certain school of theolo gians, but so far, no means have yet been discovered by which they can en- orce their views. And the world grows better. The cruiser Amazonas, sold by the Brazilian Government to the United States, was built by the Armstrongs, and is probably a better vessel than any constructed in the United States. The reason is that these ship builders have had more experience than any of the Americans, and have been allowed keep in mind that those opposed to the to use their own judgment in the con- treaty In the Senate may delay action struction.

Committee Interviews Executive On Income Tax. A committee for the House, consist ing of Messrs. Paris, Gear and Pogue, had quite a conference with the Cabi net yesterday afternoon on the Income Tax act, now before the Representa tives. The act was introduced by Mr. Robertson, being a re draft of the Win ston bill cf last session declared uncon- uiuuonai Dy tne Supreme Court. The Cabinet was asked squarely its opinion upon the proposed legislation and an- ontritru nauKiy. i ne ministers are united in opposition to the act. They favor individually the principle of In come Tax, but do not believe its oper ation here now expedient, practicable or necessary. The chief points made against the act are the difficulty of the imposition or enforcement of its pro visions, the fact that there is not press ing need for such additional revenue as might be secured and the further fact that it would appear unjust to add to the taxes now collected.

They are the necessary result of purifying and enriching the blood. Pure blood is the foundation of health. Hood s Sarsaparilla is the One True Blood .runner and cures disease by purifying ana enricning the blood. j- Fuiwr curaiivf power, that is, it cures when other medicines cannot cure, because it is peculiar in com bination, proportion and process. That is all there is to be explained about the cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla. If you have faithfully tried Hood's Sar saparilla you know how it is yourself; if you have not tried it, why not do bo today? " I have been troubled with scrofula all my life, and it affected my eyes so that I was obliged to remain in a dark room. I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. Now my eyes are so strong that the lteht nevei troubles me, and my health is good." Mrs. Carrie Weeks, Lompoc, Cal. Damages Too Heavy. In what has become known in the Circuit Court here as the Kohala Ka huna case, Judge Stanley has ordered a new trial. He finds that the jury made the damages to the aggrieved party too heavy. The award was $2,000 and it was against a native policeman. An effort will be made to introduce new evidence upon the second trial, al though it is possible a compromise may be made in the meantime. It appears that the lady charged with kahunaism was an earnest Christian worker, the wife of a native pastor. Hloo 7 Sarsa 9 parilla Is the One True Blood Purifier.

There are symptons of itJie coming of another exciting trial for lieresy, in the Presbyterian church of America. Prof. A. C. CVIcGiffert of the Union Theologi cal Seminary of New York, is the au thor of a recent work titled 'A History of Christianity in the Apostolic Age." The book is said by Prof. Shailer Mat fthews of the University of Chicago to be "on the whole the most notable ad - dition to theological literature on the side of critical church history and New Testament criticism as yet made by any American." Dr. Geo. P. Fisher and Dr. Lymani Abbott unreservedly endorse the book. . The controversy will arise among other things on Professor McGiffert's comments on the character and office of the Lord's Supper. His statement is: " . . '.The fact must be recognized that it was not absolutely certain that Jesus Himself actually instituted sruch a supper and directed His disciples to eat and drink in remembrance of Him (as Paul says in I Cor. xi. 24, 25). Ex pecting as He did to return at an early day (cf. Mark xiv. 25), He can hardly have been solicitous rto provide for the preservation of His memory; and it is a notable fact that neither Matthew nor Mark records such a command, while the passage in which it occurs in Luke is omitted in many of the oldest MSS., and is regarded as an interpolation by Westcott and Hort. .... "It was apparenty not the institution of a memorial feast that He had in mind so much as the announcement of His impending death and the assurance that it would result not in evil but in good to His disciples. He had already told them that He must die, and that His death would be in reality a means of blessing to them. He now repeated thai prophecy and promise in vivid and impressive symbol. As the bread was broken and the wine poured out so must His body be broken and His blood shed, but not in vain; it was for their sake, and not for theirs alone, but for tthe sake of many. To read into this simple and touching act unpre meditated and yet summing up in itself the whole story of His life of service and of sacrifice subtle and abstruse doctrines is to do Jesus a great injus tice; for it takes from the scene all its beautiful naturalness, which. Is so characteristic of Him and so iperfectly in keeping with His direct and unaf fected thought and speech. He was not Thirty-second Day, March 29.

In the regu lar appropriation bill the sum of $20,- 000 was taken from the item of $120,000 for roads for Honolulu for this road Minister Cooper said that 'he proposed to reinstate the item.

A little later one or two straggled along and then one or two took a hack and went away, know ing that the Speaker was waiting anxi ously for a quorum. At 10:20 the Speaker sent a warning to the one lone member in the hall puffing away at his cigar, tto the effect that the House would adjourn if he did not present himself at once. He said: "Le- her adjourn." The Speaker rapped with his gavel and declared the House ad journed. There seemed to be no incli nation on the part of the members to work.

Another peculiarity of the wheel is that they are the most honest wheel built, and in this respect are the envy of all competitors. It is a peculiarity that . all. makers would like to imitate, if they could afford to do so. The trouble with most of these same makers is that they cannot afford to put material n mai is maae to wear. They have to pay too much. T11 81 Streaks Ladies or Gentlemen's wheels in three models, at $6.00, $8.00 and $100.00, are the cheapest on the mar ket. We also have these same wneels nnished in black striped with gold. Perhaps a " Columbus " wheel, ladies' model or a mens model "Zimmy, will do you. If so, we can sell you these at such a price that you will consider it too low; but they are good stock just the same, and worth a great deal more money. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Hollister & CoJmdfit Ciars direct from the 0 0 A CollistOI & CO 'mpp Smoking Tobaccos direct from the 0 Factories.
