A government like that of the District OF

cannot be trusted TO vote intcllgentiy that II

who represent almost the entire business in
tercsts Of the country, would be outyoted and

An entire new system Of government must
be built up, and the only way IS to have the
United States take charge. It must come to
THIS or the whites must leave the islands
Their interests arc too great, however, for
them TO give up without struggle, and the
revolution was the result

out by the queen granted her almost absolute

Attempted Bank Robbery.

At 3 o'clock Friday afternoon two masked
men entered the front door of the bank In
Waverly Kansas, and covering Cashier Duvall
and Assistant Cashier Convers with their re-
rolyers, proceeded cody to rob the vault aad
cash drawers. While thev were thus engaged
Mr. O'Seill, n merchant entered the bank
for the purpose Of making u deposit. At the
risk of his life Cashier Dnvall called out to
him to run and alarm the citizens. The rob.
ber, who was guaidiny the cashier, lcvclcd his
revolver rs though he would shoot, but for
some reason changed his mind
Mr.. OSeill ran across the street and gave
the alarm and the robbers ran for their
horses, which were In the alley behind the
bank, closely pursued by number OF c!ti-
zens. Foremost in pursuit was A. p. Inglc-
man. As the first OF the robbers ieapcd into
the saddle he turned quickly and firing at
Inglcman sent ball through hi. heart, death
being instantaneous. A fusllade of shots
followed but the robbers succeeded in getting
ont of town unharmed except that one OF
their horses was wounded. A posse of citi-
zens started in pursuit and were iolncd by
others from LebO aud Mclvcrn. About two
miles from Lebo the robbers were caught and
surrounded, and after more firing, In which
both OF their horses were shot dead, they sur
rendered, their ammunition being exhausted.
Many shots were fired on both siles, but,
strange to say, with the exception OF tho
killing Of tho horses, no damage was donc.
The two men were identified ms men living in
an adjoining county.

was three times chosen speaker. In 1876 hc
was elected to the Senate He resigned his
seat in that body in 1881 TO accept the posi-,
ton Of secretary OF state in the cabinet OF
President Garfield. After the tragic death Of
his chief he resigned from the cabinet, and
devotlng himself TO literary work, gave to the
public In his Twenty Years in Congress- a
most valuable and enduring contribution to
our political literature. In March, 1850, he
again became secretary OF state, and contin-
ued TO exercise this Office until juno, 1892
His devotion TO the public interests; his
remarkable ability and his exalted patriotism
have won for him the gratitude aud affection
of his eountrymcn, and admiration OF The
world
In the various pursuits Of legislation. dpio-
macy and literature, his genius has added new
lustre 10 American citizenship.
As n suitable expression of the national ap.

the great public sorrow caused by his death,
direct that on the day OF his funeral all the
departments OF the executive branch of the
government at Washington be closed, and
that on all public buildings throughout th,
