THE FLAG IS NOT THERE.
The Relative Greatness Of the United
States and the Sugar Combine,

SGaG6S anu Ll6 ouSaE OOLuuluo'
WASHINGTON, April 14.-The news
from Honolulu of the hauling down OF
the United States flOg, it was said, was
the subject Of an animated discussion at
the cabinet meeting to day. Before
going into the cabinet room Secretary
Gresham said that he had received no
information aside from that printed in
the papers. When questioned further
ss to the truth contained in special
dispatches to western papers that Mr..
Blount was conniving at the restoration
of Queen Lilinokalani, and would sup
port her return to the throne. il need be,
by the forces of the United States
steamer Boston, he said he knew nothing
about it and declined to express any
opinion upon the subject. In regard to
the hauling down of the flag, attention
is called to these passages in the in
structions issued under the previous Rd'
ministration by Secretary Foster to
Minister Stevens, under date Of Febru-
sry IL, 1898:
"The phraseol0gy Of your proclamation
in announcing your action in assump-
ton of protection of the Hawaiian
islands in the name Of the United States
would appear to be tantamount to the
assumption of a protectorate over those
islands in behalf Of the United States,
with all the rights and obligations
which the term implies. To this extent
it goes beyond the necessities of the sit
uation and the instructions as hereto
fore given you,
"But so far as it may appear to over
step the limit by setting the authority
and power above that of the government
of the Hawaiian islands in the capacity
cf protector. or to impair ia any way the
independent sovereignty Of the Hawaiian
government by substituting the flag and
power Of the United States as the SYM
Dol OF manifestation and paramou ut Ru-
thority, it is disavowed."
There is diplomatic reticence around
the White House concerning the nature
Of the instructions given Commissioner
Blount on his mission, but it is stated
with some positiVeness that he was
given authority for hauling down the
atsrs and stripes at Honolulu prior to
his departure from Washington, and to
withdraw the protectorate Of the United
States over Hawaii in order that this
government might find itself freer in
dealing with the main question OF an
nexation, but on the day Of his departure
for San Francisco, he was cautioned to
confide this information to no person
whatsoever in order that the motives
and the intentions Of the administration
might not be construed so as to cause
trouble among the Hawaiians.
Ik is said that Mr.. Blount was also In
stFucted at the same time TO say that

"THE KIND THAT CURES"
SOCIETY WOMEN >JSRGLARS.

A Woman and Her Daughter, Both of Ex-
cellent Eeputc, Arrested For Stealing.
In an Adrian justice court sat two
well dressed ladies. Both were comely
and apparently refined. The air and
dress of the women indicated that they
belonged to the upper walks of life and
were people of quality. The elder of the
two, still below the middle age, sat erect
and wore an air of defiance. The other,
young lady of real beauty and tastily
attired, was bowed with an air of sor-
row.
No one unacquainted with the circum-
stances would have suspected for mo-
ment that these ladies were a pair Of
burglars whose work rivals that of some
of the best men of the profession. But
such was the case. They were mother and
daughter-Mrs. Alice Church, widow
Of excellent repute, residing in Tecum-
sch, a village of 1900, 10 miles from
Adrian, and Miss Bessie Church. They
were under arrest charged with break
ing into the residence of Editor S. G.
stacy of the Tecumseh Herald during
therefrom a feather bed, bedclothing,
big job lot of ladies' underwear, sever
al pairs of shoes, quantity of groceries,
etc.
Entrance was effected in the night.
Saturday morning the man about the
premises noticed that a window had been
forced, and investigating he found that
L, Al
front door key taken. Officers were no
titled, and as the absence of the key de-
noted an intended return of the burglars
two men were stationed in the house
that night. Near II o'clock the key soft
ly turned in the lock, and the forms of
two persons, apparently men, as they
wore mems clothing, appeared. There
as sudden rush, clasping of the in
t 1ders in strong arms and terrific
squabble, embellished with female
screams. Astonishment caused one of
the officers to let one of the burglars slip,
and she fed. The other fought like a
tigress and laid about right and left with
what proved to be an insect powder
spray loaded with cayenne pepper. One
of her captors, Abner Wilson, "got it in
the eye," but held his girl, and the pris-
oner was secured. Then she confessed
her identity and "gave away" her daugh-
ter Bessie as the other burglar. Bessie
was followed to her home and arrested.
"What do you pleadT' asked the court
as he took off his glasses after receiving
the information. I'VE waive examina-
ton, sir" was the firm, clear and busi-
nesslike response of the elder prisoner.
81 will make your bonds $500 each" re-
Joined the court. "Your honor, that is
too high; it is excessive" again spoke the
elder lady. 81 must make it $780," said
the court. "Very well, sir. but it is too
high; cannot get it; we must go TO
Jail" The prisoners then signified to the
officer that they were ready, and the rus
tie of the silk skirts of the burglars was
heard moving down the stairs. They are
in Jail awaiting trial.

sensation Tecumseh has had IN many

CLEAN THE CITY.

The proclamation of the mayor calling
upon the citizens to cooperate in the
work of cleaning the city, though little
tardy, is timely enough to accomplish
the end if the people respond with
alacrity. The outlook for cholera
visitation is threatening. and unless the
city is thoroughly and promptly cleaned
our peril will be great. The streets,
alleys, back yards and cellars may all
be perfectly clean, and yet unless the
interior of every house is free from filth
it is not enough. 1t is apparent that
unless every householder does his part,
all that the authorities can accomplish
may avail US nothing.
Every yard, cellar, room and corner
in every house should be secured and
disinfected. All the filth, decayed
vegetables, rotten wood, etc.. should be
burned. The health inspectors cannot
go through all the houses, cellars and
yards in the city, and hence the work of
renovating premises must be done by
the residents. The mayor calls upon
these to do their part. 1t would be
nothing short of criminal negligence
for any one to fail to comply with the
proclamation. 1t seems as though every
body would appreciate the situation and
act at once; but it is greatly to be feared
that some will fail to comply.
Scientific investigations show con-
clusively that cholera is engendered in
filth. Then a few filthy premises OF
houses would be responsible for the
spread of the disease in the city.
Every family owes it not only tC
itself, but to its neighbors and the city al
large, to put forth the utmost exertionS
to clean and renovate Its surroundings
