A Bold Attempt to Kidnap
a Chinese Girl.
Sacramento Highbinders Try to Cap
ture a Respectable Maiden for a
House of Iii Repute.

An audacious attempt to kidnap a comeIy
Chinese girl was made by highbnders from
Sacramento last night. Tile girl had lived
for some time in the house of pawnbroker
at sos Jackson street. She is a friend of
the pawnbrOker's wife and has always
borne good reputation.
The Sacramento ruf1ians, in order to OBJ
tain her as a chattel, had recourse to
time-worn trick. Two of them informed
the police that the maiden was kept against
her Will in house OF i'll repute, and asked
that she be rescued. Two others went TO
the Methodist mission on Washington street
and told the same story.
Detective Cox was detailed to play the
part OF the heroic Tescuer and did bis duty,
He met the girl and the pawnbrok er's wife
as they were leaving the house on Jackson
street. and took them 10 the Office of the
Chief of Police
An interpreter was sent for and with his
assistance the detective informed the girl
that she had been living in house of i'll
repute and that she wanted to go to the
Methodist mission.
The fair Celestial was astOnished She
declared that she was living with a respect
able family and was on her way to theater
when the officer took her into custody.
Furthermore, she answered that she did not
want TO 90 to the Methodist or any other
mission.
Detective Cox and the Interpreter de-
claTed that they knew the house in which
the girl lived, and knew the owner and his
wife. 1t WAS not house of i'll repute, and
the pawnbroker and his wife were respecta-
bic people.
Mrs Downes of the Methodist mission was
present at the seance in the Chiefs Office,
but gave no explanation of the affair The
girl was sent back to her home under escort
of Detective Cox. When the officer had re-
turned from his trip 10 Chinatown he gave
his theory of the attempt at abduction.
1t frequently occurs" lie said, that
the highblndeTs capture girl with the as
sistenee Of the missions, who are ignorant
Of the part they are playing in the game
The girl is located, and the head of one of
the missions Is informed that she is re-
strained against her will.
The police are called in, and.the woman
is rescued and taken to the mission. A
week or two later Chinese, who poses as a
merchant. appears and offers to marry the
girl She consents, and after the ceremony
is removed to some town in the interior,
where. after playing the part of the gentle
wife for few weeks, she is sent to house

Detective Cox thinks that Just such a

THE ABSENT YOUNG MEN.

The st, Clairsville Gazette, In discuss
ing the dry banquet OF the Mckinley
club of Canton, gives the following
reasons why 30 few young men were
present:
"The meeting was truly representa-
tive of the party 10 the scarcity of
young mon. There was a time when
the Republican party attracted the
youth OF the country. That was when
the party itself was young, vigorous
and progressive. The young men of
today are with the Democratic party
because 1t Is addressing itself to the
questions of the present and looking to
the future. Instead of standing as a
sculptured image with finger of stone
pointing with pride" to a record of
long past acts it is pressing forward,
every vein pulsing with vigorous life,
seeing before 1t great field of work
and eager to master it, Its courage, its
enthusiasm, its readiness to grapple
difficulties as they arise with determin-
alton to dispose of them have attracted
the attention and won the cooperation
OF the young men of the time. That is
why at a representative gathering Of
Republicans the orators assigned to
peak of and to the young men of the
Republican party were Obliged to con-
TESS there were no young Republicans
TO whom they might address them
selves"

WHAT 90 WE WANT WITH THE LEPRoUS
ISLES.

OF course there are a number of
hilarious minded citizens, full of senti-
mental nonsense, who howl because
Commissioner Blount has ordered the
American flag pulled down from the
Government building in Honolulu.
This class Of enthusiasts don't know
what the American flag means. They
seem to think 1t means conquest. But
this is a mistake. This Flag was not
born of conquest, nor for conquest; 1t
stands for the conquest of hearts only,
consecrate to liberty. Never for the
conquest OF lands just emerged from
barbarism and breech clouts
The stars that sprinkle our banner
were not built to GID those sun set seas,
two Thousand miles away. where there
are no eyes that know what language

If we are In search of other lands as
outlo0ks for ocean commerce, or to
teach the late idol worshippers Of the
sunset seas the new songs of freedom,
let as organize salvation army ofGod's
true missionaries to FIRST teach barbar-
ism what Christian civilization means,
before we set our guiding stars above
them with steel sh0tted guns and the
sword bayonets of our marines.

OF THE FLAG
Blount Did 1t Under Govern
mental Instructions.
HE PROBABLY THOUGHT IT SAFE

His Directions Were TO DO So, If .he Pro-
visiona1 Government Could stand
Alone - President Cleveland nisap-
proved Minister stevens Action.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-That Com
missioner Blount acted under instruc.
tions to withdraw the marines from
Honolulu and haul down the American
flag from the provisional government
house is now officially admitted for the
first time. In explanation of their
reasons for not making the admissions
before, the officials say they were afraid
the withdrawal of the protectorate
established by Minister Stevens, if pre-
maturely announced, without proper
explanation to the Hawaiians, might
have caused the provisional government
much embarrassment and possibly occa-
stoned bloodshed.
IL Is officially admitted now that Mr..
Blount was given explicit instructions
70 Withdraw the marines and haul down
the flag, but that he was also given dis
cretion as to the time when this should
be done. be was not to make the move
until he deemed 1t safe for the interests
or the government to do. That the flag
was hauled down is, therefore, regarded
as favorable indication, as it signifies
that Mr.. Blount is satisfied that the pro-
Vlslonal government can stand alone,
1t is now openly said that President
Cleveland and his cabinet have from the
first disapproved the act of Minister
Stevens in establishing the protectorate
over the islands. It is not only consid-
cred to be against the traditions of this
government but in absolute violation of
international law. The landing of the
marines is held to be justifable where
the protection of American lives and
property is necessary, and had Mr..
tnount deemed the continued presence
OF the Bostons sailors on shore necessary
Tor this purpose he was instructed TO
keep them there. The true significance
OF the withdrawal Of the protectorate
was thus explained by a state depart
ment official.
The administration, said this official is
willing to negotiate with the provisional
government either for a protectorate or
for annexation, but to do so with the
American flag floating over Hawaii was
like tying mans hands behind his back
and then telling him he must do what
you want him to do. Mr.. Blount's in
structions were to advise the provisional
government that the administration was
anxious to negotiate with them on any
terms which, after a proper investiga-
ton, appeared desirable, but that before
any steps in this direction could be prop
taken it would be necessary to remove
the pledge of protection. Now that
this has been removed Mr.. Blount is
free to treat with the provisional govern
ment and it is understood that when he
returns he will bring with him treaty
OF some sort for the consideration of the
president
