CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-News is at hand
announcing the death in the Lansing
penitentiary, Kansas, of Frank Wood
ruff, alias Black, who was one of those
who won notoriety in connection
with the Cronin case Woodruff,
it will be remembered, is the man
who confessed to the famous trunk
story-a yarn which, in the light of
events which followed, was generally
discredited In that confession he
ella lined to have driven the rig which
hauled the big trunk in which
reposed dead body concern
ing the identity of which he
claimed to be ignorant. If it was
true that Woodruff did not know whose
body he was hauling around he was
able to give a very good description of
it. However, he told so many conflict
ing stories and made so many alleged
confessions that he came to be regarded
rs u monumental liar.

TO RUN TO HAWAII.
A New Steamer Line From Tacoma

A New Steamer Line From Tacoma.
From the latest advices it appears
that the new steamer line that has been
projected to run from Tacoma to Ho.
nolulu is about to become a reality,
and within few weeks the first steam
er will start from Tacoma on her initial
trip.
The British steamer from Grand.
holm has been chartered and others
will speedily follow. 1t is probable
that no vessels will be bought until the
present uncertainty with regard to the
Government Of Hawaii has been de-
finitely settled.
The Grandholm is on her return
from trip to Nanaim0, whittier she
went under a charter of John Rosen-
| fields Sons to carry cargo of coal
She left Nanaimo on the 10Th inst
1t is probable that Immediately upon
discharging, she will 80 to Tacoma and
prepare for her new work.
The Grandholm is an iron screw
steamer built by Hall, Russell & Co.,
at Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1884 She
is 243,2 feet long, 32.S broad and II. 3
deep, and has net tonnage of 1905.
The management of the new line
was unfortunate in its first efforts at a
purchase,
Early in December, Captain Ross
was dispatched to Hongkong to buy
the British steamer Zambesi, which
was considered to be the most avaiia-
BILE vessel for the work A third of
the purchase money had been handed
over.
During the first week in December
and while Captain Ross was yet on his
way the Zambesi collded with the
Hokumon Manu- Coasting vessel, in
Yeddo Bay. Her compartments were
filled with water and five plates we're
stove in. She had to be beached to
save her from sinking.
Subsequently the steamer was re-
paired at an expense Of $4,000, but
Captain Ross was instructed to let the
Zambesi go and purchase some other
vessel about her build Failing in this
he returned to Tacoma without ac-
completing his mission.
The recent action of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce in attempting
to cut Tacoma off and make Seattle
the northern terminus by offering a
subsidy of S. 900 a month was rejected
by the merchants of the Sound, and
has added an intense color of local
jealousy to the undertaking,
The Grandholm will carry lumber,
cereals and transcontinental exports
from Washington and will return with
cargo of rice, bananas, etc, from the
islands. 1t is doubtful if there will be
much traffic in sugar, as there is no re-
fnery in the Sound country to handle

Bishop Willis on Missionaries. u

EDITOR START see that the Bishop
of Honolulu is out with another poIt-
ical "diatribe" on missionaries" We
fear that he is actuated less by concern
for Mission in Madagascar or elsewhere
than by odinm heologicnm against
the descendants of Puritans.
However deeply versed he may be
in medieval history and the canon law,
the learned B shop is quite out of place
in this last decade of the nineteenth
century. He seems to consider mis-.
sionarieS as sort of hereditary caste,
debarred from exercising the rights OF
citizenship in their native land even
unto the third and fourth generation.
Does his Lcrdship justify the Eng
lsh Revolution of 1888?
There is certainly a much stronger
case against Liliuokalani than there
was against James H., descended as he
was, from long line Of kings.

ANNEXATION.
President Cleveland and His Probable
Attitude.


WASHINGTON, March 16.-The best
information here as to the intentions of
the Administration with respect to
Hawaii is that President Cleveland
does not dare to undo the work which
President Harrison had so nearly &C
complished, and that the only object
of the withdrawal of the treaty and of
the delay consequent upon sending
commission to Hawaii is that whatever
shall be finally accomplished may ap.
pear to be the work of a Democratic
Administration 1t is not the present
purpose of Mr.. Cleveland to permit the
United States to lose the advantage Of
the negotiations which the Harrison
Administration had concluded.
But the President, in the hope of
securing credit for his own Admins
tration, has preferred to take such risks
as may be involved in the delay and
the continuance of the negotiations
until next winter. a curious sugges
ton is made in this connection that
the President may expect the Senate
to remain in session until Mr. Blount
can proceed to Honolulu, make an in
vestlgation and return. 1t is doubtful
whether the Senate will willingly re-
main in session 50 long.
The ews of Mr. Bount upon an
nexation are only imperfectly under
stood. He opposed the ratification Of
the treaty which was negotiated by the
Harrison Government, on the ground
that there was not sufficient informa-
ton to warrant such action. But he
declined to commit himself on the sub.
ject of annexation. TIE Hawaiian
Commissioners feel chagrincd and af-
fronted that any steps should have been
taken toward the sending of Commits
sioner to Honolulu without, at least,
giving them some information with re-
gard to the matter.
The Administration, however, has
been in power fourteen days and no reg
ular conference between the Hawaiian
Commissioners and the Secretary Of
State, or the President has as yet been
held. DR.. Mot Smith and the mem
bers of the Hawaiian Commission say
that the Administration cannot posi-
bly, obtain any information relative to
Hawaii which il cannot have at mo.
ment'S notice upon applying to those
who possess it and who are now III this
city. The Commissioners are agreed
that the delay of the United States is
|imperiling the chances of this Govern.
ment to secure possession Of the isl.
ands, and making it more possible for
Great Britain through her iutrigues to
permanently establish her influence
there. Boston foHyHal.

MISTAKES OF A BISHOP.

Bishop Willis of the Anglican church
is of course opposed to annexation,
The Bishop is part and parcel, so far
as he goes, Of the royal church estab-
lshment of England and if annex
alton should be brought about he would
not have an ecclesiastical leg to stand
on. Besides, as becomes a Lordship,
he is against liberal institutions. All
the Lords are that way from Lord Tom
noddy to Lord Knows Who. We con-
cede Mr.. Willis right to flock with his
kind.
This concession must not 90 so far
as to admit, however, that in making
points against the republican move
ment, even a Bishop is at liberty to
mis-state facts. His Lordship speaks
in a letter to the Bulletin about
"the revolutionary proceedings of the
missionaries sons" although as q
matter of truth the proportion of mis-
sionaries sons that took part in the
overthrow of Liliuokalani is as conspic
uously small as that which now figure:
in the makeup of the Provisional Gov
eminent, Touching the latter point
the facts ought to be SO familiar thai
the wayfaring man, though Bishop
should not err therein. For his Lord
ships convenience, however, we recite
them in tabular form.

WHAT HE WILL DO.
A San Francisco Journal Discusses
Blount.


Commissioner Blount did not tarry
long in San Francisco on his way to
Hawaii He made no attempt to as
certain the state of public feeling in
this city concerning annexation. Meth
er did he seem anxious to discuss with
the newspaper men who called upon
him the object ofhis mission. Wheth-
err or not he had suspicion that he
was going on a fools Grand he pro-
ceeded to 60 The two hours which
the Rush required to get up steam were
spent by the Georgia statesman in Sc
clusion. Mr. Blount is probably pre-
serving all his powers of observation
for Hawaii. Doubtless he expects that
by the time he arrives the ex Queen and
her adherents will have worked up
sentiment in opposition to annexation
that may be seen without the aid of a
magnifying glass. 1t is assumed that
the fate Of the islands depends upon
Mr.. Blount's observations He will go
among the natives and ask them how
they would like to be annexed. He
will explain to them that if they vote
for annexation they will become small
part of a great country, instead of being
a whole nation by themselves. Natives
of Pacific islands do not as a rule rise
to such a propositions Their island
homes seem large to them and they do
not want to take chances Of being tow
ed off with foreign flag flying from
the highest available point. What else
Mr.. Blount expects to do at Hawaii no
one can conjecture. A score or more
Of trained observers have written col
umns to widely circulated newspapers
in which the information he seeks is
placed before the public in an attract
i've shape. Possibly MIR. Blount could
not do better than to purchase copies
Of these newspapers, read them on his
way to the islands, and be guided by
them in making out his reports. F,
