A jlraft of s treaty for the annexation of Hawaii to the United States is being prepared by Judge Day. the assistant secretary of state, and Mr. Hatch, the Hawaiian minister in Washington. It will be presented to President Mo Kinley for approval soon after he returns to the eity. It does not follow, however, that it will be immediately sent to the senate. On the contrary, the president will adhere to his determination not to imperil the tariff situation by the introduction of any foreign questions. The proposed new treaty will not contain any provision for a pension te the late queen or a gift of money tc the princess, but it will probably be provided that the princess shall receive a pension out of the territorial revenues. It is interesting to know that the Liliuo-kalan- i proposition to pension did not come from the Hawaiiaa commissioners, but was suggested by the then secretary of state, Foster. A leading member of the senate committee on foreign relations said that two plana are under consideration- - by ihe administration. One la to annex the islands and admit into the Union aa the territory of Hawaii. The other is to make them a county of California. There is no donbt, it is said, of the president's acquiescence in the termi of the treaty for the reason that he was made fully aware of them before he ex-Que- left The United States will agree to as some the debt of the present Hawaiian government, but will come into possession of all the Hawaiian crown lands and other possessions. INDIAN SERVICE. Ths Specifications for Pnrnlihlnx Clothlnj Supplies to lto Canceled. Washington, June 15. The specifica- tions for furnishing clothing suppliei to the entire Indian service have been finally cancelled and new bids will b called for by Commissioner of Indiaz Affairs Jones, to be opened in New York on July 15 or 17. The investigation of the way in which the old specifications were framed, by which one of the bidders, it is alleged, would have secured the contract through useless technical requirements has almost been concluded. Collusion of certain employes has been charged, and it ia possible that several removals may result in the Indian bureau. The examination made by Commissioner Jonea has been very careful and thorough, and he has practically succeeded In tracing the responsibility for the condition of affairs to several employes. The result of the investigation will be reported in full to Secretary Bliss. The present specifications are broad and liberal, the idea being to secure clothing goods of thjt best utility without being restricted to peculiar brands and descriptions, such ai were asked for in tbe former call for bids. NOTES. The miners of Bingham are rapidly coming to the conclusion that the best thing to do is to shut down and lock np camp for a while. Tbe Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines Wardner, Idaho, have recently purchased twenty claims and are contemplating driving a tunnel three tiles tn rOugh tbe hills, beginning at the Kellogg.

The Cheyenne Jfc Northern will commence work within a few days and construct a spur from Badger to t'he mines, a distance of fifteen miles. There are several concerns that will begin development work on their mine at Ilartville, Wyo., as soon as the spur is completed. Ore hauling has been commenced from the iron mines at Ilartville, Wyo., to the railroad at Badger. One hun dred and fifty tons per day Is being hauled and this will be increased in a short time to 290 tons. The ore is in great demand at th Denver and Pueblo smelters, where it is used foi fluxing purposes. The Mereur has posted its usual dividend in the sum of $25,01)0. The payment of this amount will increase tht total paid to date to $725,000, and foi the present year fb $125,000. It is said that at no tune have the ore bodies been larger, values any better, nor the tonage of the mills as large. AI present the output is averaging about 300 tons per day, and it is claimed this amount could be easily doubled. k The rumor that the Silver King would pass its dividend has been con tradieted by one of the principal ofli cers of the company, and that stock holders will pocket their usual remit tanee is assured. The management having made a contract before the ad vance in smelting charges and before the cost of giant powder was increased the output from the Silver King is unaffected and the flow of wealth goes on. n.
