THERE can be no question that the
governor has full power to appoint a
senator if the legislature fails to elect.
The authorities and precedents on this
subject leave no doubt. The INDIE
PENDENT yesterday received a message
from two leading United States sena-
tors in which they c]orroborated all that
has been said in this paper concerning
the authority Of the governor to act,
and added that a senator appointed un-
der these conditions would certainly be
admitted without controversy or dis
c%ussion, SO clearly defined are the prece-
dents in such cases.

MINISTER STEVENS has very properly
been called down by Secretary Foster
for hosting the American flag in the
Hawaiian islands and superseding the
queen in authority. The se~cretary'e
communication to Stevens shows that
the only government recognized by the
United States is that of the sovereign
queen, LiliuokalanI, and SO long as q
majority of the subjects stand with hel
in maintaining an independent govern.
ment, it is difficult to see how the
islands can be annexed with any regarc
for justice between nations.

Gov. Altseld's Title to citizenship Is Now
Broueht Into Question.
CHICAGO. June 28.-A sensational sequel
comes tonight to Gov. Alteeld's release of
the Haymarket anarchists. The Journal
raises the question whether he is legally
governor of the state of Illinois or citizen
of the United States. Tho Journal says
Gov. Altgsld bases his claim to citizenship
on the simple statement that his father was
naturalized while the son was a minor
child. Altgeld was bo.n in Prussia in 1S48
and came to this country with his parents
when q boy. II his father was made a oti
zen while tho governor was under u there
is no question as to his title to citizenship,
but if the elder Altgeld waited until his
sou was over 81 before taking out papers
then the title of the governor to citizenship
ls badly olouded.
The fact developed to-day that the
friends OF Fielden, Schwab and Eeebe

association from the fact that he was one
OF she signets of the unsuccessful petition
presented to Gov. Fifer. 1t is said the

don for the Bohemian anarchist Proneck.

tied that seci etary CarliilS has announced
his intention of making vigorous prose-

Attorney General Olney.
The steamship Haytien Republic was
seized to-day. presumably by order of Spe-

probably be filed with the clerk Of the

The ground for the seizure Is not known,
but it is said the trouble is the old charge
of smuggling opium and Chinese.

moonshinars was killed. by Deputy Marshal
Tanning. Several others surrendered and
seven were captured.
Internal Revenue Collector Bond, Cleys-
lands appointee. will take charge of the

outgoing officers to turn over a clean tor
ritory to him that prompted the raid.

for desperate characters.
