WASN'T ALLOWED TO STAY.

Wythevilie Guaranteed Against Pulaski
and MIR. Bishop Came Here to Get Permit
II. A. Bishop, well-known travelling
salesman whose home is at Wytheville,
was in the city yesterday and procured
certificate from DR.. S. G. Staples,
president of the board of health, az to
his freedom from any infectious disease.
With that he left on the 400 train for
his home, he not having been allowed
to leave the train there upon his pre-
vious attempts.
Mr.. Bishop was in Pulaski Thursday,
having stopped off at that place to do
some business. not knowing that his
own and other towns along the line had
quarantined against that Lity on &C
count OF the smallpox cases there. Mr..
Bishop told TINES man that DR. Tin
ton had said to him that there were six
or eight genuine cases of smallpox at
Pulaski.
Mr.. Bishop stopped there only long
enough to eat. and as he boarded this
train he noticed that the conductor
telegraphed ahead to Wythevllle that.
he and another commercial salesman
intended to stop there. When that
station was reached they were not
allowed to leave the train. and at sew
eral other stations where they tried to
get off the same objection to them was
made.
After going back and forth on the
trains for while Mr.. Bishop came to
this city and got the certificate from
DR.. Staples and left, as stated above.
Business at Pulaski was going on about
as usual, Mr.. Bishop said, the cases
being we'll quarantined and OF a mild
form. One of the cases. he said, was
within an eighth Of mile from the
depot.
Mr.. Bishop had seen man from Salt
Vile who said that there was no great
excitement there over the outbreak. No
persons were allowed to leave without
a permit of certificate.
The origin of the disease at Pulaski,
Mr.. Bishop said, was, from all reports,
due to the arrival of an electrician who
had been taken sick at Chicago and had
been sent home. At Pulaski he called
upon Miss Phillips and from there
went upon the Ohio extension to work.
Some time after his call Miss Phillips
was taken down with smallpox, and
hearing OF it the electrician had re-
turned. 1t was current report there
that at that time the mans face was

TRIAL OF Il TURNKEY.
He is Charged with Allowing
Rruetfe to Escape.

The case of Captain Walker, the
turnkey who is charged with al
lowing prisoner to escape, came
up yesterday in the District Court.
About two weeks ago William Bru-
cite, a prisoner awaiting sentence,
escaped from a cell at the police
station, and up to date he has
eluded capture.
The prosecution put Officer D. A.
Kahookano on the stand. He tes-
tilted that he saw Walker away
from the station at two different
times on the morning when Bruette
disappeared. Walker stated on his
own behalf that he was taking a
walk around the block when he
first met the officer; the second
time he was going home for some
medicine with the watch captain s
permission-so he said.
The watch captain was placed on
the stand and denied that he had
given Walker permission to leave
his post.
Owing to a legal technicality the
decision in the case was reserved
until this morning at 8 30 O'Clock.

Not q Suub After All.

The so-called s'snub'' of Admiral
Benham of the Newark at Havana n
few weeks ago, when he stopped there
with the Columbus caravels, turns
out to have been due altogether to
mistake On the part of the officer de-
tailed to make the official call upon
the admiral and to the fact that he re-
ceived his orders from the captain
general of the island in the evening
when to late too board the vessels. Ac-
cording to custom and regulations Adj
miral Benham called officially on the
captain general of the island, and he
being prevented by law from person
ally returning any calls assured Adj
miral Benham that he would detail
an officer of proper rank to return the
call in his name. BY a mistake the
call was not returned. From the eX-
ceedingly cordial manner in which
the admiral was received and pressed
to prolong his stay in Havana he was
sure that no discourtesy was intended.
A letter received by Admiral Gherar-
di from the captain general expresses
his regret and fully explains the cir
cumstances of the omission. 1t seems
after Admiral Benham made his call
the captain general directed Gen.
Ioda to return the call at D o'clock in
the afternoon, but the order was not
delivered until too late in the evening
for the call to be paid. The Newark
sailed at 6 in the morning and the
general was called upon to know why
he had not carried out his orders the
day before.-C Washington Star.

dividing natives and foreigners on
questions of national policy. Mis-
representation Of the facts and
downright lying as to the designs
Of the foreign population, who quite
generally believe the salvation
and welfare of the nation is
to be found in annexation,
have mainly constituted the wes.-
pons used by those foreign leaders
who hope to overthrow annexation
in order to control native politics
for their personal or factional ends.
The chief argument used, if it
may be so called, by these self
constituted leaders has been the
repeated assertion that annexation
meant the disfranchisement of the
natives and the taking away of
their "kuleanas." That there is
absolutely no truth in the first of
these statements every annexation
ist, and especially every American,
knows. The second is in direct
contradiction of the homestead
laws of the United States.
1t would be well at this point for
the Provisional government to
make some public announcement
of their policy. Let them assure
the natives as to the position the
government will take on these
questions when the time for action
arrives, and before the day Com
missioner Blount returns to make
his report at Washington, the peo-
pie of the Hawaiian Islands will
be found standing almost, if not
quite, unit in favor of annexa-
ton.

nation.

SINCE some, for reasons best
known to themselves, are advocat-
ing the establishment of an island
republic, as a substitute for annexa-
ton, it may be well to inquire if
such a movement meets the ap-
prevail of the original mass meet
ing held in the Armory on Mon
day, January 10th. The present
almost universal movement favor
ing annexation to the United States
of America grew out of that meet
ing and has since been Endorsed
by it. 1t is pertinent just now to
ask what public movement and
sentiment this new republic scheme
represents.

French war Office experts are dIvld-
ed in opinion concerning the value or
danger of EifePs tower in case OF
siege of Paris. German staff officers
have written quite freely about the
matter, principally holding that the
tower would afford a fine target.
some French officers agree with this
view; others say the forts around the
CITY would keep the tower out OF
range, while it would afford an excel
lent post for observation. From IL the
operations of an enemy could be oo-

A SUGGESTION.

The attitude of native Hawaiians
is becoming daily more favorable
to annexation. The bulk of the
natives are thoughtful, conserva-
tive people, who have long since
learned to examine closely the pre-
fences of would-be foreign leaders.
The political trick of appealing to
the prejudices and passions of the
native voters has been used so of
ten to further the schemes Of adj
venturers that the average native
is learning to more deliberately
weigh the merits of those who as
sumo upon every possible pretext
to champion what is miscalled the
native cause"
In the present state OF the COM
mercial and political development
of Hawaii there is in reality no such
thing as distinct native cause any
more than there is a foreigners
cause. Both are misnomers. The
real and only issue at stake is the
Hawaiian cause, which represents
a cosmopoliton nationality. The
native and foreigner are bound to-
gether by an identity of interest
Their causes are one, and must
stand or fall together.
The repeated attempts made by
INSCRIPTIONS politicians to separ-
ate these has led to the many social
and political dissentions at present
