II SEEMS hardly necessary 10 repeat
what was said short time ago IN this
paper, thst there hiss been no desire ex-
pressed on the part OF Hawaiian papers
for annexation 10 the United States, as
has been published in our foreign ex-
changes. A. the same time, two OF the
native papers, Ks Leo and Elele, have
advocated the election BY popular vote
Of 81 officers 0! the Government, includ-
ing Ministers, Judges and sll other
officers, which change would eventually
result in s republican form Of govern
aent. Many think tha; the time has
10. arrived TO insugura,e such radical
changes IS these named, and believe
that for the present, 81 least, 5 mon
Archical form viii insure greater stability
II the government, and greater respect
from other nations.

l. II DEsIEABLE2

The annexation OF Hawaii, which Is
said TO be proposed il Honolulu papers
in consequence OF the Mckinley bill.
should not be hastily hailed as one Of
the blessings that measure Is likely TO
bring about. The addition to the BODY
polite OF any large number OF people
whose habits and education are radically
different from those OF Americans, IS Of
doubtful expediency. There Is large
element in the United States in favor OF
the proposition, and those who form 1t
will be pleased by ever so slight an in
dication as that in the Chicago telegram
that the sentiment is gaining q icothold
in Hawaii. The more thoughtful and
conservative citizens viii pause, how
ever, before aiding the growth OF the
idea. The government OF the United
States is becoming very large and IN
1ieldly without annexation, and to en-
large the territorial limits will only
make it more so. Though there is no
immediate danger OF annexation the
people might as well begin TO think
seriously on the subject before It be-
comes q lad, the indulgence Of which
may bring regret il not repentance

1T MAY BE MURDER.
| GEORGE HORNS FALL FROM A
WINDOW RESULTS FATALLY.
Was Robbed and Thrown Out, or Fell
Out While Intoxicated.

George w. Horn died at the receiving
hospital at 80 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing. He never recovered consciousness
after falling out of the second-story win
dow of the lodging house at the corner
of Alameda and Also streets. Coroner
Weldon will hold the inquest today.
Few facts were elected yesterday that
were not published in the Sunday HER
AID. 1t as much a mystery as ever
how Horn met with the accident
which resulted in his death. He must
have been very drunk to have
fallen out of the window, and that
theory is not wholly believed.
The deceased was not drunk Saturday
afternoon. He attended horse sale,
and is reported to have bought some
stock. 1t is not unlikely that some one
followed the old man to his room and
attempted TO rob him. A scuffie might
have followed, resulting in Horn being
thrown out of the window. Officer
Buckingham, who was opposite, heard
no noise, however. The case is very
mysterious one, and probably some de-
velopments will be made at the inquest
today.
Horn is resident of Anaheim, and
was in this city for the purpose of closing
up the sale of some mining property in
which he was interested. He was to
receive $1,000 on this sale Saturday, and
it has not yet developed whether he got
the money or not. His partner in the
mining enterprise arrived in the city
yesterday and spent the day making in
quiries about the money, but without
success. If Horn received the $1,000 he
was certainly robbed. for no money at
all was found in his clothes after he
went through the window. Horn was
in his night clothes when picked up,
and therefore must have retired before
the assault, if it was an assault.

IN THE PENINSULA.
How the "Rurales' Chase the Fes-
tive Stage Robber.

Henry A. Stevens, a prominent mer-
chant of Ensenada, Lower California, ar
rived in Los Angeles yesterday to spend
several months. Mr.. Stevens is en-
thusiastic over the prospects of the
peninsula, and says that the Tia Juana-
San Quintin railroad is being rushed
by the English company as fast as pos
sible. 1t will not enter Ensenada, but
branch road will run from that town
into the Guadaloupe valley.
MIR. Stevens tells the story OF a stage
robbery between the Alamo and Ense-
NADIA, and the subsequent pursuit of the
thieves by the rurales, which is side
splitting in it's comic opera details.
Two enterprising gentlemen from San
Bernardino went down to the lower
country to rob the stage, having been
informed that on certain day the
treasure box would be full of bullion.
They stationed themselves by the road
side and stopped the stage all right, but
the bullion had missed connections and
they got only $23 and a gold watch.
AS soon as the affair was reported at
Ensenada, the rurales. or Mexican SOL
diery, were ordered out. I'm
derstanding that the robbers
were Americans, the rurales
were rather cautious about going into
the hills, 80 they waited about. till they
caught four woodchoppers. These they
stood up in front of them, and by dint
of kicks and clubs the poor woodsmen
were compelled to walk on in advance
and form living shield for the valiant
soldiers. Strange to say, the robbers
were not caught.
One of the road agents, in talking
about the affair to friend later, said !:
tWe looked on and saw the whole
business, but we were shaking so with
laughter that we couldn't see the sights
of our guns"
Governor Torres having been elected
governor of Sonora, will assume his new
duties early next month. His successor
will be appointed very shortly. and

Afro-Americans were to colonize a state

and be as prosperous as the Americans.
The project is favorably received by all
the politicians. because today" said
Ellis, 1--WE suffer more in the south than
at any time since the days of slavery"
Ellis thinks the loss of a large num-
ber OF colored laborers will do more
than anything else to solve the race
problem in the south. The concessions
which have been obtained from the
Mexican government embrace land
lying in the states of Vera Cruz,
Queretaro, San Luis Potosi and Oaxaca.
Cotton, Ellis asserts, is perennial
there, and half bale more an acre can
be raised, and the market price is al
most double that OF the United States.

who desire to go from various southern
