All ABSURD IDEA.

Harpers' Weekly is one Of the
few prominent papers which seem
inclined to oppose the annexation
of the Hawaiian Islands to the
United States. 1t does not
directly declare itself against
ultimate annexation, but it
treats it as contrary to the estab-
lished foreign policy OF the nation,
and as a thing to be thought of
only in case the advantages sought
could be obtained in no other way.
1t is safe to assume that if the late
lamented George William Curtis
were living this article in Harpers'
Weekly would never have appeared.
Mr.. Curtis might or might not have
viewed with favor the acquisition
of foreign territory, but he was
a man of candor and high honor,
in business as well as in private
life, and he would never have pub
lished an article containing the
palpable misstatements of facts
which lately appeared in the Har-
pers' Weekly.
The journal in question says
that Americas refusal to take Ha-
waii would immensely strengthen
her right to object to It's cession to
any other power, and it stighatizes
the opposite view as absurd" The
boot is on the other leg, and it is
the position taken by Harpers'
Weekly which is not only alb
surd," but monstrously unjust as
well. 1t amounts to an assertion
of the right of the United
States to play dog in manger
70 neither grant HAWAII the bless
ings of stable government herself
nor allow anyone else to do So
thus calmly ignoring and overriding
the wishes of the Hawaiian residents
in the matter. This is a glaring
inconsistency to be found in an ar
ticle which processes to be vindi-
cation Of the rights of the Hawai-
ian people against intriguing for
eign adventures.

The United States during per-
iod of more than forty years main
tanned a claim to a preponderating
influence in the islands, carrying
with it of course the right to pre-
vent their absorption by any other
power. We believe this claim on
the part of the United States to
have been and still to be, well found
ed. 1t was based on the plainest
considerations of national expe-
diency, and has been expressly or
tacitly acknowledged by other
Powers. But the United States
must accept the responsibilities
which such claim imposes; and
when a change of conditions brings
these responsibilities forward, it
must shoulder them or consent to
see its influence transferred to
Government which will do so.
There are other nations which have
an eve on these islands. England
would like them, and Japan aspires
to be the England of the Pacific.
If the United States refuses the pro-
fered sovereignty, she cannot object
if Hawaii should seek aid and pro-
lection elsewhere, and the papers
which, like the Harpers' Weekly,

A FRENCH paper, lie Reveil
Breton, publishes q very sensible
article on the revolution in Ha-
wall. 1t declares annexation to
the United States to be necessary
to the prosperity of Hawaii. and
says that nothing but complete

the autonomy Of the country. 1t
ends by commencing warmly the
men who had sense enough to
understand the meaning Of the
situation, and to place themselves
at the head Of the annexation
movement.

THE LRPER ASYLUM.
The Employees Are in Favor of
the New Government.

A report received from the leper
asylum having been published in
the native paper Kuokoa, that the
superintendent of the asylum and
his assistant were strongly opposed
to the Provisional Government and
were melting the lepers to make a
disturbance, Mr.. Meyers, on his re-
turn to Molokai inquired into the
matter and received the following
statements, which thoroughly dis
prove the statement published:
MAKANALUA, March 2, 1898.
Mr.. R. W. Meyers, Kalae, Agent of
the Board of Health;
DEAR SRI have your communi-
cation of February 2Sth, relating to
a letter written by Jno. hamanu to
Mr.. Kawsinui, which states that Il
and my assistant are bitterly OPP
posed to the Provisional Govern
ment and incite the people to make
disturbance" 1 am surprised to
hear this, and 1 distinctly deny the
truth of those statements, implicit
ing me and my assistant of charge
of disloyalty to the present Govern
ment, and melting the people to
make disturbance, which is mali
cious lie made out of whole cloth,
and the man who had written that
letter is a COMPOUNDED liar.
We are innocent of the accusation
and the fact is, we have said nothing
disloyal to the Provisional Govern
ment nor incite the people by word
or deed.
What l did say to this Jno. Ia
manu- and others who were hanging
round the Office THAT was about two
weeks ago.. If we had an efficient
and stable government, a government
who is not afraid to execute its own
laws; what we lepers are doing, going
and coming will not be tolerated and
the law of segregation will be strict
ly enforced and lepers made to work
instead of living and passing their
time in idleness. Now, 1 do not re
member of having at any time said |
anything in opposition to the present |
Government or used words to incite |
the people; I'll be fool if I did |
while Acting Superintendent, Had |
l any opposition to the Provisional
Government, l would not have taken
the oath of allegiance to support the
same, and would have rendered my
resignation long before this. The
man who had written this false state,
ment of what 1 never for one mo-
ment entertained an idea of opposing
the Government, is an Office seeker
and sorehead, who gave vent to his
feelings by inventing and writing a
malicious article to injure me and my
assistant.
With kindest regards, believe me,
yours truly,
AMBROSE HUTCHINSON,
Acting Superintendent,

SENTIMENT FOR REPEAL STRONGER

Question Than the simple Repeal OF

WASHINGTON, oct. 16-In an inter
view last night, Secretary Carlisle said
there were no indications OF wavering
among friends OF repeal In the Senate
He added that the sentiment for repeal
is stronger in the Senate TO dag than II
was at the beginning of the fight.
The situation In the Senate at the
present time involves a more serious and
a more moment.us question thaa
the simple repeal OF the Sher
man act. It involves the ques.
tion Of whether or not the Demo
cratic party will be allowed to redeem
its pledges to the people by passing a
tariff for revenue only, and repeating the
Federal elections law.
The question is now whether Demo
cratic ma joiity In the Senate shall be
ruled by a selfish minority. The ad
ministration stands as IL always stood
for unconditional repeal and there would
be no surrender on its part.

TOWNSEND, Oct. 16 "A year-old son

escape from death here on Saturday.
His grandfather, William j. Daniels was
driving horses attached to a
wagon loaded with coal. The
little fellow fell under the wheels
and before the grandfather could pull
in the horses the heavy load had passed
over his frail body. The grandfather
expected to find him dead, but was
agreeably surprised to and him alive
and not bone broken DR.. Enos was
called in and pronounced the injuries
serious, but not necessarily fatal.
On Saturday afternoon Thomas
Maloney, farmer. came to town TO see
his brother Daniel, who is a lumber
merchant When the farmer reached
the lumber-yard Office his. brother was
out in the yard looking at some
lumber. The farmer stepped TO the
front door and, to call his brother, began
ringing a farm bell suspended in the
gable. The bell fell, struck him on the
shoulder, broke his collar bone and
knocked him down. DR.. Enos reduced
the fracture.

THE VIRUS OF ANTHRAX.

Professors at Delaware College Experl-
mentlnE on Rabbits. Guinea-Pigs aud
Mice.
The faculty of the Government Agri-
cultural Experimental Station, at Del
aware College. has taken an advanced
step in the antherax line. This disease
is credited with having killed scores Of
Delaware cows, being particularly severe
in it's ravages in the neighborhood Of
Newark and Delaware City. Compar-
atively few cures have been reported.
Now, the idea of Professors O'Neale
and Chester is to inoculate cattle with
anthrax virus. on the same principle that
a person is inoculated with small pox
virus-to prevent attack alto ether or
lessen its virulence. Experiments are
being made with anthrax virus on
guinea pigs. English and wild rabbits
aud mice. The endesvor is to get the
virus down TO strength suitable fol
practical use. The animals ino culatec
show many symptoms of the disease.

THEY LOST THEIR LIVES.
Conglomeration of Nationali-
ties Killed in the Storm.
MOST REMARKABLE COLLECTION

OfPeopIes in the United States is That of
the storm Country, Among Whom Were
Races That Exist Nowhere Else-out of
the 1000 Drowned BY Last Weeks
storm Only Fifty-three Were Negroes.
NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 16.-Many news
papers of the country, in commenting
upon the recent storm in Louisiana, have
declared that most Of the people affected
by it were negroes. This is probably
due to the fact that the coast country Of
the southern states, particularly Vir-
ginia, the two Carolinar, and Georgia, is
overwhelmingly peopled by negroes.
The contrary is the case in Louisiana,
where the inhabitants of the coast are
nearly all white. Not 10 per cent. OF
the storm victims are negroes, and of the
zoos drowned only ffty.three are of the
colored race There is no portion of the
South where the whites are in as large a
aiority as the part visited by the
storm. There was only one negro fam
lily in the entire Bayou Cook country,
and only few at Cheniere Caminada.
Chinese and Malays were far more
numerous than negroes.
There is, perhaps, no more remarkable
collection of nationalities in the United
States than in that very storm country,
among them some races which exist
nowhere else. OF the 1000 odd per
sons whose lives were lost, l, 800 were fish
ermen engaged in supplying New Orleans
with fish, and in the oyster and shrimp
trade. which has recently developed
great proportions in Southern Louisiana
and Mississippi
