THE BOuNr, N SUGAR
Is What the Cuta Sandwich

To the Editor of tho Gloha

Is What the Ciata Sandwich
islanders Are After.
To the Editor of the Globe.
L have not yet seen any mention in
the papers of what is without doubt the
real animus OF the proposition for an
neXation which comes to us from the
Hawaiian islands. The real, though
carefully concealed, fact IS that the Ha-
waiians want to be annexed in order to
get the bounty of two cents pound
which our government pays on the
sugar produced in the United States.
From 1876 until 1891 the Hawaiian
islands had what Amounted TO bounty
under the operation of the Hawaiian
reciprocity treaty. By the terms of this
treaty certain goods from the United
States were admitted into the Hawaiian
islands free of duty. In return for this
concession sugar from the islands was
admitted INTO the United States free of
duty. During this time all other sugar
imported into the United States paid a
duty of about three cents pound. As
the Hawaiian sugar was as good as any
other. and brought just as much in the
market, this treaty enabled the owners
of Hawaiian plantations TO make an
extra profit of three cents on every
pound of sugar they raised. Under the
stimulus Of this rare privilege the in
duStrIeS OF the islands grew enormously.
In half dozen years many of the es-
tates trebled in value. From 1876 to
1883 the Hawaiian sugar product in
creased siX-told.
But when the sugar section of the
Mckinley tariff act went into effect on
the lst OF April, 1891. and all sugar was
admitted into the United States free,
then the Hawaiian Islands no longer
had any. advantage over other sugar
producing countries. During the past
two years they have experienced "hard
times" The plantation owners have
doubtless been deyiSing schemes to
bring back the good Old times" when
they made handsome profits at the eX-
pense of the United States treasury.
They certainly are Tow working a very
clever scheme. They have overthrow
the native government on slight pre-
text. and commissioners are now on
their way to Washington to petition for
the annexation of the islands. If the
islands are made part of the United
States, then the Hawaiian sugar pro-
ducers will be entitled to bounty of
two cents pound Oh the three or four
hundred million pounds Of sugar which
they raise every year.
1t has been stated that the revolution
has been caused by the Americans resi-
dent in the islands: also that Claus
Spreckels, the millionaire sugar refiuer
of San Francisco, is behind it. Both of
these statements are very likely true.
The sugar plantations are largely owned
by Americans. resident either on the
u 4 .
els is is the largest Of these owners.
1t may be that we ought to annex
the Hawaiian Islands for political rea-
sons, but we should first count the
cost. Then let us not iatter ourselves
by mistaking the real reason why the
HaWaiiaas love the United States SO.

And He Slashed Her Throat With

Thomas Kane's Queer Freak
While in State of Intoxi-
cation.

At s o'clock last evening Thomas
Kane and Miss Mary Flaherty made a
friendly call at the residence of Adel-
bert Askem, 4O2 East Fifth street.
Kane asked the little daughter of
Askem to kiss him and Miss Flaherty,
which the child did. Kane then re-
quested Miss Flaherty to Kiss him,
and, as the young lady demurred,
Kane walked over to the stove
where she was sitting and slashed her
in the neck with razor. The cutting
was done so quickly that those III the
room were not aware of the assault
until Miss Flaherty shreked and started
up, when the blood was seen squirting
over her dteSs. A physician was at
once called and the wounded girl taken
to the Bethesda hospital. at Ninth and
Canada streets. DR.. Amoss dressed the
wound, which fortunately is not a serious
one, and she was afterWard taken to her
home at 420 East Fifth street. Kane
was arrested shortly afterward by Off
Ger o. rien and locked up at the CEN
tral station, charged with assault with q
dangerous weapon. Mr.. Askem visited
the station after Kane's arrest and gave
the above version of the affair. He told
the police that Kane was intoxicated at
the time land this was evidently correct,
for at midnight Kane had not recov-
cred from the effects of his rotations
and was in drunken Slumber. Kane
is about thirty-fve years old, unmar-
ried and claims 10 be a SWitchman. His
right hand has been amputated at the
wrist.

''If the United States government

good many years in the islands, Most
OF the time | was at Honolulu. 1t is
one OF the greatest producing
countries in the world, and the islands
are principally managed in CONNER
clal way by Americans. The climate is
as nearly perfect as can be found under
the sun, and it is healthy. AS you know,

speedily follow. Most of the

are the natural key TO the PACING ocean.
They are the Gibraltar, so to speak. In
the event of war they would prove in
valuable as cOaling stations. And they

producing country of the world,
and the annexation would remove
all duty. Honolulu is almost
overwhelmingly populated bv American
merchants and capitalists. Claus
SpreckelS, the millionaire sugar manu-
tacturer, has q strong footh0ld there,
and it was at Honolulu that he made the
biggest slice Of his fortune.
"Politically, the islands are an an

THE islands are in the direct path
between San Francisco and Australia,

to prompt the government to accept
the annexation proposition with
an eagreneSS that would make
it certain. Let me tell you. Honolulu
is an American city in ali its essential

The ViIIard-M Merriam Story Has a
New Addition.
Some weeks ago the GLOBE printed a
story of proposed changes in the North
ern Pacific road, to be occasiOned by
the withdrawal of Henry Willard to
enter CleVeland's cabinet. According
to the reprot then in circulation, Viii
lard was to be secretary Of the interior,
Merriam was to become president of the
road and Cakes was to be chairman of
the board of directors of the railroad
company. This story was printed, but
Gov Merriam knocked it out at one fell
swoop. But now the story comes back
from Washington. with slight addi-
ton. The story came by Associated
Press, as follows:
A prominent Western politician, who
will not permit the use of his name.
gives out the following as a straight tip:
Henry Willard is going into Mr. Cleve-
lands cabinet as secretary Of the inte-
ror. Thomas T. Cakes will then retire
from the presidency of the Northern
Pacific and become chairman Of the
board of directors, and eX-Gov. Merriam
will become Cakes successor as presl-
dent of the road. A st. Paul man, John
c. Bullitt Jr., nephew of the eminent
Philadelphia OF that name, will be
chosen assistant attorney general Of the
United States"

Rosina's Presence Of Mind.

Very few, if any, actors or actresses
have been the happy recipient of
hearty burst of applause from an audi
ence encompassed in Cimmerian dark
ness, This. however, actually happened
to Miss Fokes at the theater at Hartford
ashort time ago. 1t appears that the
electric lights went out suddenly, and
the auditorium, the stage and the back
or the stage were instantaneously in
absolute pitch darkness. Miss VOkes
was alone on the stage at the time in
the performance of the "Circus Rider"
and Mr.. Gottschalk as the servant
"Latimer," waiting outside TO receive
the letter which Miss Vokes in her char
acter OF Lady Lucille Grafton was
writing.
There was some little uneasiness in
the audience which was dispeled By
the silvery voice of Miss Vokes, who
said in the coolest and most collected
accents, Light, please, Latimer." The
situation was really relieved in the
most admirable manner. and the au-
dlence laughed and applauded notwith-
standing that they were enveloped in
pail of darkness to which the original
plague was not comparable in gloom.
Almost Immediately afterwards the gas
man came on and lighted the foot
ilghts, and Miss Vokes proceeded with
her letter as if nothing had happened.

Programme for the Concert To-
morrow Evening.
The coming event of the season, mu-
ically and socially, is the opening of the
new Ford music hall. The inaugural
concerts occur Friday and Saturday of
this week. and will call out the most
musical, as we'll as fashionable, audi
ence Of the year. Clementine de We're,
the star of the occasion, needs no intro
duction, for this city has already been
the scene Of some OF her greatest tri-
umphs. Charles Kuorr, the tenor,
is an old favOrite. Mrs. Hoffman,, the
pianist, is new conner from Milwaukee,
and is said to be superb. The opening
of the new hall appeals SO forciDly to
local patriotism and pride that some of
our best local musicians have been given
a place on the programme the Men
delssohn and Beethoven Quartettes. Fol-
lowing is the full programme for Fri

LOCATING THE BLAME.
President EGan viii Leave no
Stone Unturned,

q
President Egan, of the Kansas City
road. returned to his Office yesterday
from the scene of the frightfuI accident
in Iowa, where he has been the past
two days making a searching inyestiga-
ton into the facts that led 10 the shock
ing casualty. His inquisition is not yet
completed, and Mr.. Egan was not ready
yesterday to give statement for publ
cation. However, it will be submitted
to the public through these columns at
the earliest possible day. Mr.. Egan
will leave nothing undone to locate the
entire responsibility, but the consensus
OF opinion is that it was one of those I'M
avoidable accidents that now and then
occur even upon the best regulated rail-
roads IN the world.
Our advices today show that a ter
rifle storm is prevailing all along our
line" said President Egan to GLOBE
reporter. 1t is showing and blowing all
through Iowa, and the thermometer is
falling fast. 1t is only with the great
est difficulty that we are keeping the
wheels IN motion. Still we do not APP
prehend anything like a serious snow
bound to cripple our traffic. Every at
tention is being paid to the convenience
and comfort of the passengers on the
Kansas City trains"

That wolves are not entirely extinct

that three wolf scalps have been pre-
