In order that the city of Seattle may
maintain her dignity among the other
cities, two young men, by the names of
johnson and Levere, began the publica
tion of Sunday Mercury" about
three months ago, and the articles there
in contained have not been much
noticed, other than. receiving the quiet
condemnation of the respectable citizens,
until last Saturday, one John w. Consa-
dine, proprietor of the Peoples Theater,
and one of the theater's attaches,
called at the Mercury office and pro-
ceeded to punish the editors for calling
the theater ''a branch of hell" Several
shots were exchanged and the Peoples
Theater attache received bullet in his
shoulder, while one of the editors of the
paper received such q beating with the
butt of Considine's revolver that it is
thought he will die. The people, while
not in sympathy with the paper, are
not at all in sympathy with the mode of
furnishing editors.
The Yesler will case is yet in progress
and it is hoped that the preliminary ex
animation will soon reach termination.
The defence has argued for non-suit,
and unless same is granted, evidence on
behalf of the defendant will be intro
duced, which will take another week.
The weather has been beautiful for

The side show at Olympia, in which
they are trying to elect United States
senator, seems to keep up the interest
of the people without much effort. 1t
is believed that a man whose name is
not yet before the legislature will be the
ultimate choice for United States sena-
tor. The democrats are in hopes of
causing deadlock and having the legis-
Iature adjourn without electing United
States senator, in which event the gov
ernor will appoint Mr.. Aliens successor,
who will hold the Office until the next
legislature, at which time the demo-
Gratis hope to have sufficient strength to
elect United States senator.

Kanakas Can't kick.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The treaty of
annexation concluded between Secretary
of State Foster and the commissioners
of the provisional government of Hawaii
was transmitted to the senate yesterday,
but was not made public.
The message of the president was
brief. It stated that it is deemed more
desirable fully to annex the islands than
to establish a protectorate. The president
says the overthrow of the monarchy was
not in any way prompted by this gov
ernment; that the restoration of Liliuo-
kalani is undesirable, if not impossible:
that unless actively supported by the
United States restoration would be ac-
companied by serious disaster and the
disorganization of all business interests.
He further Gays: "It Is essential that
none of the great powers shall secure
these islands. Such possession would
not be consistent with our safety, nor
with the peace of the world.'
Until congress provides otherwise, the
existing government and laws of the
Hawaiian islands will be continued sub
lcCL W t4O VI bAC
United States. The president is to ap-
point resident commissioner, who
shall have power to veto any act of said
government until congress enacts the
necessary legislation, excepting that the
commercial relations of the Hawaiian
islands, both with the United States
and foreign governments, shall continue.
The further immigration of Chinese
into the islands is prohibited, and the
Chinese now in the islands shall not be
permitted to come into the present ter
ritory of the United States.
The public debt of the islands is as
sumed by the United States to the ex-
tent of So, ,250 900. The United States
agrees to pay Queen Liliuokalani $780,
600 a year during her life, and Princess
Kalaulani sl5, 600.
