We will only ask Mr.. A. S.
Hartwell who says, he never at
tended any annexation meetings
and, by insinuation, styles DIR.
Trousseau and Major Gulick liars,
what was that meeting before
the 18th of January, when he
objected to deposing the Queen
as that was not the best way to
procure annexation and was SO
rIdiculed by the committee of
safety and its army-leaders that
he quit the scheme in disgust for
a whole week. Mr.. Hartwells
own reputation for veracity and
honesty and sticking to his word
is such that his brother lawyers
invariably make him write his
agreements and even then if they
mislay them and cannot produce
their copies at once, he will
repudiate them till confrotned
by. the evidence of his own hand
writing. And of such is the
Provisional Government of
Hawaii.

The most amusing part in
John l.. Stevens answer to Mr..
Blount is where he says, that he
tried to prevent that gentleman
from taking up his quarters at
the Hawaiian Hotel where he
would fall into bad hands and
necessarily become corrupted.
The old ex preacher even went so
far as to negotiate for Mr..
Blount. for rooms and ham and
eggs at the house of some sister
In Christ who would only be to
willing to increase her income
with the golden eagles of the q.
S. Government, and at the same
time guard the morals of poor
Blount by furnishing him with
proper" and Christian company.

horror over Blount's refusal to

lity."

EDITOR HOLoMUA:
The editor of the 'Tiser says
yesterday that the Provisional
Government-not from any good
feelings or wishes, or for extend
ing any humane and kindly act
to company for the moment in
distress and in need of assistance
: but, simply from a desire to
promote the interests of the
Canadian Pacific line, rendered
financial aid. which the public is
already aware of.
Now, because this Govt. as
trustees of the Taxpayers money
performed an act which it was
bound to do, as it In one sense
was partly the cause of the acci-
dent. The 'Tiser man wants the
steamer Miowera sent off as soon
as possible to beat the Corwin,
so that this governments des-
patches may reach San Francisco
before those of the United States
Government.
The Taxpayers, whose money
was used for a humane purpose
have no fault to find with such
expenditure. But when the
'Tiser man throws it back at the
agents in such manner as he
does this morning. it shows con-
clusively that the mite was not
given for such humane act In a
properly generous spirit CIT is
however, the Christian spirit
of the Tiser man and the clique
he representa- The Taxpayers
do not wish to see the steamer
referred to. used hor any such
purpose as that suggested
by the 'Tiser man. 1t is to be
hoped that such will not be the
case.
Gratitude is above politics,
and turn about is fair play" is
how the 'Tiser man ends his edi-
torial this morning. How about
the action of the present govern
nent when they despatched
the Claudine to San Fran
cisco last Januarv7
Did they show any feelings of
gratitude or generosity at that
timei No. Sir. This government
does not deserve any show of
gratitude, not can it expect any.

AN ANARCHISTS BOMB.

eral Martinez de Campos, OF the Spanish
Army, at Barcelona-His Horses Legs
Shattered Under Him and One OF HIS
Stan Badly wounded-The Bomb
Thrower Arrested
BARCELONA, sept. 25.-An anarchist
tried to kill Capt. Gen. Martinez de
Campos Saturday with bomb. There
had been a review of all the troops in
this district early in the morning.
Shortly before noon the captain-gen-
eral and his staff took their places on
one side of the large square near the
middle Of the city, and the march past
began. A large crowd had Rathered
near the officers, but as no trouble was
thought probable while the military
filed the streets, only four gendarmes
were at hand to preserve order. The
head of the column had hardly passed
the captain-general when bomb was
thrown from the crowd 1t struck
near the captain-general, and exploded
with tremendous force. The crowd
was thrown into confusion and the
soldiers broke from the lines
A few seconds later another bomb
came from the crowd. 1t struck
among the staff officers and exploded
almost directly under the captain
generals horse. The captain-general
was thrown to the ground and his
horse with its legs shattered, rolled
oyer beside him. Gen. Castellivi, chief.
of-stnff, also fell wounded from his
horse. A soldier of the civic guard
was killed instantly and five others
were injured so severely by pieces Of
shell that they will probably die.
The march was stopped and most Of
the soldiers broke ranks. The captain
generals last order as he was carried
to house near by was that the pa
radc should be continued. A physi-
clan hastily dressed wound in his
thigh. a bad bruise of the shoulder
on which he fell, and several contu-
sions of the leg. The captain-general
then returned to his staff and wit
messed from carriage the rest Of the
parade.
Afterwards he tclegraphed to Queen
Regent Christina details of the at
tempt on his life, but assurance that
he had no dangerous injuries The

by the crowd and wns delivered to the
