Those White" Annexationists
EDITOR BULLETIN:

a few days ago, it was necessary
to give the Advertiser a lesson in
statistics. Now it is the McGrew
Pill that needs one for asserting,
last night, that the adherents of an
neXatiOn numbered seven-eigh of
the 10000 white people" on Hawaii,
which are represented by "the 5000
voting members (D of the AnneXa-
tiOn Club"
The question here to settle is
where docs the Star get his 10000
white people from?
The census of the infallible secre-
tary of the Z. G.. will answer. Amer
lean 1923 (only), British 1914, Ger
mans 1884, French 1872, Norwegian
227, total 4725, of all ages and sexes,
out of which half cannot vote and
half of the remainder are strongly
opposed to annexation.
TO obtain the total of 10000 we
must then consider as sail white
the following elements: Hawaiian
born Of foreign parents 7493, and
Portuguese 1902, total l6,O97. But
in this mongrel total, the Hawaiian
born of foreign parents are we'll
known to include all foreign races
white, black and yellow, and GER
tainly the sons Of Cinnamon are
pretty numerous in this branch of
alleged "white" Hawaiians. Next,
among the Portuguese, all those
come from the Cape Verde Islands
are negroes or negrltos, and large
percentage of those from the Azores
| and Madeira are also crossed with
negro blood, and this must make a
poor quality of "white people" un-
less the Star is willing to call whjte
all those in favor of annexation and
black all against it.
But the above figures show that,
if annexation is TO be based only on
the color line, it will be fair to say
that, ON these Islands, the true
"white people" are considerably less
than halI OF what the Star wants to
muster for propping up its cause,
and that probably more than rs ol
this number are against it.
Furthermore, we defy the anneXa-
tion club to show 5000 genuine
signatures of ''white people on
eveu--in so far as truth goes-5UOC
genuine signatures of any kind, even
including the Junior department
and the Kamehameha and Punahou
school boys,

In the vigilance begun to be exer-

watchfulness against other maladies,

not to be relaxed. There is more or

Mr.. Thurston says not one in a
hundred of the white population
would oppose annexation. Other
equally high authorities put the pro-
portion at something less than one
in ten. A poll of white and native
voters separately would relieve those
clashing authorities from the painful
situation of contradicting each other.

the main, proven correct. The
passenger lists on the through
steamers have been abnormal
ly large and the number Of
dollars that have dropped into

would be hard to calculate.
The tourist travel may bring
benefits in other ways. The
climate, the tropical plants and
the blight are all objects of
curiosity and people who are
looking for quiet peaceable
home are sure to tavorably
consider the land where revolu-
tions occur and a government
can be overturned without
bloodshed. They cannot find
it anywhere else and we may
expect an increase of settlers
from the Colonies. In another

New YORK, Sept. 16.-The Herald'e
Buenos Ayres dispatch says The news
received from the Brazilian revolution
today is unfavorable to President Pei
xoto. 1t is reported that the naval
squadron sent to quell the revolutionary
uprising in Rio Grande do Sui has re-
belled. The officers refuse to take orders
from any one except Admiral Mello, who
is in command of the rebel feet. The
bombardment of Nictheroy is concluded.
The ships of the revolving squadron
attacked and silenced the forts. Presi-
dent Peixoto threw many officers of the
army into Jail to prevent them from
joining the revolutionists. The revolu-
tionists control the arsenal and custom
house. The report of the secession of
the states of Bahia and Pernambuco is
confirmed. Admiral Mello now has q
squadron of 30 warships and merchant
steamers which are all well supplied
President Peixoto. it is reported, has
retired to Santa Ana with the troops
still loyal to him. 1t is expected that
he will join Castilhista in Porto Allegro,
where he will make final stand for the
retention of power.
The damage resulting from the bonn
bardment is much more serious than
heretofore reported. Many persons were
killed, including an italian sailor for
whom the government paid $4,000 in
demnity. One German is also reported
killed. In repulsing the attempted land
ing at Nictheroy, 20 policemen were
killed. Admiral Mello proposes to block
ade Rio and starve the capital into sub
mission by cutting off all supplies. The
forte answered the fire from the vessels
vigorously. Many rebel officers and
men were killed.
The attitude OF the foreign war chips
cannot be understood. The Tiradentes
etill remains outside of Montevideo, but
no one aboard OF her ia able to manipu-
late her guns. The United States
cruiser Charleston will sail from Monte

TARIFF HEARINGS.


A Mixed Lot OF Manufacturers and I'm

WAsHISaToN, Sept. 16.--The hearing
before the ways and means committee
was begun today by Mr.. schlss, who
argued for the retention of the present
duties on braids. William J. Matheson
argued in favor of continuing the pro-
lection on, dye stuffs manufactured here.
He also desired to have coal tar placed
on the free list. M. w. Skiddy remon-
strated against any change in the tariff
on dyes. Thomas Smith of New York
did not want the present tariff on porce-
lain disturbed. J. r. Montgomery
argued for the retention OF the present
duties on bullion and metal thread.
w. G.. Dalzall objected to the inequality
of the tariff rates on the different classes
of axles, and urged that the committee
place an ad valorem duty on carriage
axles. Il. r. Morse OF Vermont claimed
that reduction Of the duty on marble
would diminish production and increase
the price Of marble used by Massachus-
etts people. ]. Craig OF Tennessee
urged the necessity of duties being inn
posed on marble. r. Burger OF Pitts.
burg wanted the present tariff rates re-
tsinsd on polished drill rods. The re-
mainder Of the day was devoted to the
pottery industry, and several arguments
were made pro and con to the tariff.

In the house against the Tucker bill re-
pealing the federal election law lasted
only long enough today to demonstrate
that the Republicans are stiil capable
of breaking the quorum. The Demo-
cratic leaders being convinced that
nothing could be gained by continuing

when the house meets on Tuesday a
majority Of their own will be present,

sideration OF resolution reciting the

Filibustering against the Tucker bill,
led by Burrows of Michigan, was re-

ARKANSAS Cry, Kan, Sept. 16.-One
hundred thousand people settled upon
the Cherokee strip today. At noon the
signal was given, and the great race be-
gan. As far as the eye could reach in
either direction could be seen men
mounted and in wagons and on foot,
closely packed together, making q solid
column 200 feet wide in the middle and
tapering away to mere streak of black
in the distance. Confusion relgned
everywhere, go closely were the contest
ants packed together. The start was
hazardous. Horsemen were unseated,
wagons overthrown and pedestrians
prostrated in the mad rush.
Cowboys on horses took the lead.
They had gone but short distance when
they spread over the prairie and dis
noun ting, set fire to the thick prairie
grass, hoping thus to turn aside those
who were following. The fires spread
rapidly at first, but were soon stopped
by the deep gully which parallels the
Cherokee line a few miles south of
here. Horses could not be urged through
the flames, and many turned back. No
damage was done by the flames further
than destroying the grass. and impeding
the racers.
James H. Hill of Kingdom, N. j., was
shot and instantly killed by soldiers at
the southwest corner Of the Chilocco
reservation. He started into the Strip
before the signal was given. Soldiers
warned him to stop, but he did not heed
the orders and they fred -uton him.
He had $500, and it was turned over to
the sheriff.
In the race many men were injured,
and some killed. OF the latter, two
were murdered-one stabbed, the other
shot through the head. Many dead
horses lie on the prairie. Four new
town sites have populations estimated
at 5000 each; otherH boast OF popula-
lions ranging from 1000 to 5000. Every
desirable claim has at least one clAim-
ant and many have two or four. Con-
tests, of course, will be numerous.
Soldiers shot four sooners" near Still
water, o. T., and Arkansas City, Kan.
Wagons and freight trains loaded with
supplies followed the settlers into the
Strip. Camp fires dot the prairies in all
directions tonight. The drouth has dried
up the streams. and those who failed to
provide themselves with water are forced
to endure suffering.

Powers = England and

BELLIN, Sept. 16.-Emperor Francis
Joseph left Vienna this afternoon to at
tend the Hungarian army maneuvers,
which take place in the presence of the
duke of Connaught. This interest in
certain quarters in Germany means the
consolidation OF the existing entente be-
tween Great Britain and the dreibund.
This ie especially 30. as the dukes visit
to Austria will soon be followed by a
visit by the British Mediterranean
squadron to Italy. In anticipation OF
the visit of the Russian fleet to Toulon
the large towns of France are already
making preparations for the reception of
their Russian allies. Russia is not
pleased at the extent to which the
Frenchmen are going to demonstrate
their affection for the czar and his SUBJ
iects. 1t is claimed that Russian states
men are of the opinion that too
much demonstration would be irritating
to Germany, and as the new rifles for
the Russian army are not all finished,
and the new loan has yet to be raised,
Russia is desirous of not angering Ger
many. But France and Russia are not
alone in the demonstration business.
William has had his share at Metz,
Strasburg Carlsruhe and elsewhere.
Emperor Francis Joseph is now doing
his little demonstration. Italy through
the crown prince, has done hers, and
Great Britain, not to be left entirely in
the cold, is sending her Mediterranean
fleet to the gnlf OF Otranto, where the
Italians are preparing q demonstration
in England's honor as an Offset to the
demonstration in France in honor OF
Russia. Thus is all Europe demonstrate
