Islands are too large to permit on the part
of those nations an acquiescence In such
annexation. 1t would involve consequences
that the United States would not care, and
which its long settled policy forbids II TO
assume.
Mr.. Morgan announced the intelf-
gence of the Hawaiian revolution TO the
Senate in executive session. Although IL
could only be considered in an informal
manner. debate was at once precipltated
that occupied the greater part OF the secret
session. Generally the speeches seemed 10
faver annexation, or the establishment OF
protectorate.
In opposition to these views 1t was as
serted that the debt of Hawaii amounted
TO more that IS, 0OJ,000, which was sufficient
10 cause this Government 10 halt before
assuming that load. II was also stated oy
other Senators that when we secured our
coaling STATEN at Pearl river years ago,
there was an agreement under which Eng
land, Germany and the United States, ana
the other great powers agreed that they
should keep their hands of and permit
Hawaii to run her own afrlrs.
In controvertiug this statement 1t was
claimed that while there might have been
tacit understanding in that direction, II
was not such a contract between powers as
would preclude the United States in the
event of a request from the Government OF
Hawaii from exercising the power OF an
nexation if indeed there had ever been any
understanding on the suiect. In support
of the presumption that there was no
agreement it was shown that England had
been for a year or so quietly, but industri-
ously making inroads in the Islands and
creating feeling among the people OF that
country which was harmful and extremely
preiudicial 10 the interests of the United
States and her citizens, who had invested
their money In the enterprises that were
developing the Islands and increasing their
trade and commerce.
In the House of Representatives there
was a strong feeling expressed by leading
Democrats against annexation. At the
same time there was an equally unanimous
opinion that no other nation should be per-
mitted to step in and control the destinies
of the Island. The Monroe doctrine was
again upheld as cardinal principle in our
foreign policy and as demanding the eX-
clusion OF European domination over terri
tory so near our own.
Naval officers are particularly enthusi-
astic over the news from Hawaii. Nearly
every officer on duty at the navy depart
ment has seen service in Hawaiian waters,
and some of them told to-day interesting
stories of their experiences in Honolulu.
In reference TO annexation, one officer
said that if the United States possessed
Hawaii we could make it the Gibraltar Of
the Pacific.

time TO deliberate upon this demand. They
went to the palace in company with Sam-
uel NJ Damon and held consultation with
Liliuokalani.
The result was compromise PROPOSE

the police station was turned over TO Com

forty men from Company \.
Mr.. Wilson made short address TO the

ing them that resistance was no longer fea-

OF volunteers took possession and IS IN

PIKEvILLE, KY. January 2S.-A most
sensational double murder occurred IN the
eastern portion Of this county yesterday.

markably handsome wife.
Mrs. Moore could not resist the charns
Of VIM. Kelley.
Kelley was a notorious moonshiner, ana
was always in hiding.
He has given the revenue officers no end
of trouble.
In some manner Mrs. Moore became In
fstuated with him, and would often spend
weeks in his company while he was hiding
out often undergoing privationS or the Sc
verest character for his sake.
When she would return home her hus-
band would use every means TO prevent
her returning 10 Kelley.
The irresistible power OF the man was
more than Mrs. Moore could combat
On the day Of the tragedy Mrs. Moore
returned home after prolonged stay, ac"'
companied by Kelley.
Moore read the riot act and ordered her
of the premises.
Kelley took hand in the trouble an
chased Moore not only out Of his own house
but or his own premises.
Moore finally turned on his purSuer and
fred three shots az him, each o. which
took effect in vital parts.
Mrs. Moore seeing Kelly fall, made
vicious assault on her husband with largo
butcher knife.
Moore shot and the erring wife was q
corpse.
He Immediately surrendered 70 the au-
thorities and is now In Jail.

of Congress at that time, they came to the
conclusion that he had received encourage
ment and suggestions from the administrn-

present revolution is g result of the Hawa-

the demand for annexation will be listened
to. Democratic sentiment seems to be

The Ocean Telephone Possible.

Professor Silvanus P. Thompson is one
of those who believe that ocean teleph-
ony is not only possible, but that the
means of attaining it are within our
grasp. Telephone cables for the deep
sea will, however, require to be made on
a different plan from the existing tele-
graph cables-that is 10 say, a single con-
ductor of stranded copper insulated and
surrounded by an iron %sheathing that
comes between the outgoing wire and
the water which serves as the return
part of the circuit. The going and re-
turn wires will have to lie side by side
within the sheathing. Moreover, the
whole circuit will probably have to be
broken up into sections which are capa-
of acting upon each other by mutual in
duction.-London Globe.
