THE MOVEMENT FOR PARDON.
Friends of the Prisoners Have been Per-
sistentIy at Work.

CHICAGO, June e27.-Practically ever since
the bomb was exploded in Desplaines
street on the night of May T. 1856, the three
men pardoned yesterday have been in phi
son.
y determined attempt to secure a COM
mutation of the sentence was made before
the execution. 1t was joined in by many
especially in behalf of Parsons, who was
well known and popular, and it might
have been granted if that wild fellow had
consented to recant in his faith. But he
refused to do so, and Governor Oglesby
was obdurate in refusing to grant a com
mutation to any one vino did not weaken.
Spies, worn as his friends say by long con-
finement, consented to admit his error
but Oglesby, considering him the leader,
would give him no mercy. Fielden and
Schwab made terms and their sentence
was cut down to life imprisonment
Since that time an agitation growing in
strength and vehemencc has been directed
toward the release of the prisoners. As it
grew it was joined by many men of prom
nence. Some of them sympathized with
the men in the beginning and believed
that they had been convicted on an alb
surdly wide construction of the law and
with an inadequate opportunity for de-
Tense but the majority of signers were
men who had been originally bitter in
their denunciation of the agitation, but
believing unht dndrCfly III ltS overt acts Oe-
ing crushed by the hanging no good came
from incarce-ating these men IN Joliet.
Il am exceedingly gratified. but not at
all surprised said Captain w. p. Black,
who was the leading counsel for the de-

about the governors decision. II have al

that as soon as the public conscience had
recovered it's tone, and the public judg-
ment its equilibrium, they would be re-
stored to liberty. 1 have only been disap-
pointed in the length of time it has taken
to bring about this result"
Generally speaking the pardon of the
three men met with the favor of the city
officials who cared to express an opinion.
Mayor Harrison expressed his feelings in
the single word good" Chief of Police
McClaughrey said he didn't believe either
Schwab or Fielden, whom he knew we'll

District Attorney Milchrist said: ''I am

HAWAIIANS WANT ANNEXATION
Missionary Hyde Says They Look to
America for Everything Good

The Rev. Charles M. Hyde, d. d.,
the representative of the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions in Honolulu, Hawaii, is at
present in this city. He has lived for
sixteen years in Honolulu, and is at the
head of the North Pacific Institute, a
training school in that City for the
native students who wish to become
pastors and missionaries.
"In this country" he said yesterday,
1--WE are inclined to forget that the Ha-
waiians are removed only two genera
tons from absolute barbarism, and
people expect too much from them.
They are still weak and have to be held
up all the time as reformed drunkarjs
do at home. Work in their best in.
terests is greatly hampered by the con-
slant influx of undesirable foreigners,
among whom are Portuguese, Chinese
and Japanese The last-named people
are coming in large numbers by reason
of the treaty relations existing with
japan.
SIN Honolulu there are 1900 Ameri
cans and 300 British residents. They
mould the moral and social life of the
community and constitute its business
activity, There are no gentlemen of
leisure there, and what they do to pro-
mote the political and religious growth
OF the natives they do at the expense of
their private interests. This fact is one
of the difficulties appertaining to the
present Provisional Government there.
The business men have not the time to
devote all their energies to helping on
the affairs of Government as they would
like to do
"The Provisional Government is
recognized by all the great powers and
is accepted as such by all classes in the
1t is gaining strength
every day, and is putting the administra.
ton of affairs on more business-ike
basis than it ever was before.
"The people there believe that an
nexation is logical necessity and the
only legitimate means for the develop
ment and complete civilization of the
Islands. So long as the question of
the standing of the royal house remains
as it is, of course matters will be some
what unsettled but once that is def
nitely determined the people will be
ready to embrace annexation. They
look to this country for everything that
is good, and they feel as well that they
should be part and parcel OF the United
States. IN. Y. Sun.

Boston at Honolulu, addressed
despatch to the Secretary Of the Navy,
informing that official of the action of
the British representatives and residents
at Honolulu against the annexation Of
Islands to the United States. On
October 4, 1892, there had been an
election to fill two vacant seats in the
Hawaiian Legislature. The party of
| Queen Liiuokaan raised the anti.
annexation cry, "and were ardently
supported by the British and other
foreigners In his despatch the late
Captain of the u. S. S. Boston wrote as
follows:
"Unwarrantcd attacks were made lin
my opinion for political purposes) upon
the United States representatives by
anonymous writer's in the official organ
of the Government. The British rep
Iresentatives manifest the most unusual
interest, publicly, in all political pro-
ceedings The action of the ministry,
with possibly one exception, and of the
English element, is plainly in opposition
to the United States. There is a large
and growing sentiment, particularly
among the planters, in favor of annex
alton to the United States; but | am
informed that the leaders do not think
an opportune moment will arrive for
some time to come. However, every
thing seems to point toward an eventual
request for annexation"
These we're the words of our dead
sailor, written just year ago, and less
than four months before the eventual
request for annexation"
A few weeks later, on November 9,
1892, Captain Wiltse reported that the
Queen had been celebrating over the
execution of an unconstitutional act
(which would probably have caused
revolution" This contemplated act
was to dissolve the Legislature and
order new election, but "she was de-
tered by the presence of United States
vessels of wal"
Subsequent dispatches of the late
Captain Wltse, dated January IS,
January aS, and February 1, 1898,
reported to the Secretary of the Navy
the progress of Hawaiian events under
the Provisional Government and the
landing of force Of American sailors
and marines at the request of the
United States Minister.
The opinions of the late Captain
Wiltse, written just a year ago, were
concurred in by Rear Admiral George
Brown, who reported from San Fran
cisco, September 6, 1892, that when
the United States cruiser San Francisco,
his hSgship, left Honolulu on August
81, that there was Ga strong sentiment
in Hawaii among the native Hawaiians,
as well as among the Americans and
Germans, in favor of change in the
form of government, looking toward
the ultimate annexation of the Islands
to the United States. This subject of
annexation has been freely discussed
by individuals for long time, but until
very recently there has been no com
bined concert of action"
The publication of what purports
to be the Recommendation of Commits.
sioner Blount has again stirred up in
terest in the Hawaiian question among
naval circles at Washington, and the
belief is general that it would be much
better, wiser and safer if the Admins
tration were guided by the reports of
its naval officers, who, from non-parti-
san observations extending over many
years are much better able to offer sug
gestions that should be paramount"

Rain on st. Swith!n's Dav.

The old superstition about st. Switb-
in and the rain has very generally died
out. There are still, however, a good
many who incline to the belief that
such a notion must have had basis OF
scientific fact, or it could not have OBJ
tanned as it has done for centuries.
Some years ago the records of Green
witch observatory were examined for
twenty years with view to ascertain
ing whether as a matter of fact a rainy
July Is is usually followed by a rainv
period approximating to forty days. 1t
was found that the years IN which st.
Swithin's day had given no rain were
rather wetter during the following
-orty days than other days. 1t was
concluded that the tradition had no
meteorological facts whatever to sup
port it. Everybody has heard the old
story bout the removal of st Swithin's
bones on July Is, and of the manner in
which the saint resented it by deluging
the district. 1t is a curious fact, but
well authenticated, that the good
mans bones were shifted from their
original resting place in circumstances
OF considerable pomp and splendor,
and without a drop OF rain falling. The
origin OF the superstition was probab ly
terrible food which, in 1913 devas-
tated crops.-London News
