We have no right to be dog in the man

We are bound to accep. the Islands as they

to US on our own terms, without
the cost of single life or

pie of so valuable a free territorial acquisi-
ton offered to great nation. Th.t Hawai-
should come under the American flag is log
ical as it is just. 1t i, an American colony
in its interests, its civilization, its ednca-
ton, its patriotism, and its hopes. To re-
fuse her fair and generous offer, to throw
away this rich prize, to drive her people

treason akin to the absuriny and the in
fanny of IT., ing to force upon them worn
out, useless, and eorrup. monarchy, by the
use of American diplomacy and the menace
of American bayon,ts.
But this Intelligent, strong. loyal Ameri-
can colony is not TO be sacrificed by Ameri-
can rig-headsdness and superficial states
manship in official quarters. The recent
strange behavior of certain Washington fiji
Gals towards our American brethren and
allies in the North Pacific, is an episode
of stupidity aud shame in American history
which the American people repudiste. and
which will never be repeated. In the clear,

A Sunday Shooting ARRAY In a Mas
~ sachusetts Town.
RoPKINeT ON, Mass, May 20.-A shoot
ing ARRAY occurred In Cordsville to day
which will probably result in the loss of
two lives. John Kelly runs kitchen bar
nearly on the line between Hopkington
and Cordaville, which is a resort for all
the questionable characters of the sur
rounding towns.
Among the hangers on is one James
Rsftery, who Is considered one of the hard
eat characters in the vicinity. He has
been in jail for several offenses, and has
taken part, 1t is said, in many question
able transactions. he and the Kelley
family have been at swords points for
some time, and they have threatened to
kill each other If they got chance.
About four weeks ego Peter Kelley, q
son of John, WAS terribly beaten, SO much
30 that he was sent to Worcester for treat
ment. To-day Peter returned from Worces-
ter and when he got off the train he was
told If he attempted to 60 home BATTERY
would kill him. He started up the road
for homo, however, and met Jim and Tom
Raftery. Jim drew q revolver and com.
menoed shooting at Kelley, and one of the
shots entered his body just below the
| anee and fred at Raftery, seven bullets en-
| terig the lstter's body. Tom Kelley re-
| ceived a scalp wound, but is not injured
| seriously, but Jim Raftery and Peter Kel
| lev will probably die. RAftery was taker
| to Boston on the train for treatment.

Deibler the Executioner Picked His
Head Up and Threw IL vfciously
Into the Basket.
PARIS, May 21.-Emile Henry, who on
February ~ threw q bomb in the cafe of
the Hotel Terminus, was executed at 4:10
O'Clock this morning.
Henry's lawyer had long audience with
President Carnot yesterday and begged for
q respite for the anarchist, but he was not
able TO make strong case. Rumors of an
anarchist plot to reecue the prisoner inau-
enced the government to take unusual steps
In anticipation of an attack. A strong
force of police and troops guarded the sp-
prosch to the prison. A motley crowd
gathered outside the barriers.
As the prisoner was led to the guillotine
he was CHASTITY white, but he walked with
Q firm step. As he approached the plat.
form he shouted courage, comrades; long
live anarchy" His voice was not as loud
as Vaillant's and trembled noticeably.
As the exscutioner's assistants pushed
him against the plank he again shouted
s'coursgeI Long live anarchy" Soon the
click of the knife was heard and the head
dropped to the ground. The blood from
the trunk epurted high as the body drop
ped into the basket.
Dsibler, the eIecutioner, himself picked
up the head from the sawdust and threw Il
vioiously into the basket with the body.

BROOKLYN HAS A TIE-UP.

None OF the Electric Cars Are Run.
ming Trouble Caused by the
motormen Refusing TO Buy New
Uniforms.
BROOKLYN, May Goth Atlantic Rail-
road compsny's cars did not run on
schedule to-day and at 7:20 this evening
traffic was stopped. Most of the motor
men employed on the Atlantic avenue
oars stopped this afternoon. President
Norton says that the men went on strike,
while the men insist that they were locked
out. The lines affected by the strike are
the Adams street, Bergen street, Butler
street. Fifteenth street, Fifth avenue,
Hicks street, Hoyt street, Park avenue,
Seventh avenue and Vanderbilt avenue
lines.
Some time ago the conductors and mo-
tormen were notified that before May 20
they would have to buy new uniforms.
Some of the men protested, claiming that
two months ago they had to buy new
uniforms. To day was the first day for
the motormen to appear in their new uni
forms. Most of the men, however, failed
to buy them. All of the men appeared at
their places at 8 o'clock this morning for
the purpose of taking out their cars. All
who had the new suits were allowed to 60
to work, but those who did not were not
allowed to do d. About 600 men failed to
appear In new uniforms. AS result only
few cars could be run during the dsy.
The officials of the company when they
heard that nearly all of their men refused
to get the new uniforms hustled around to
get men TO run the cars. ALI of the extra
men were called into play while electri-
clans, helpers and cleaners about the car
sheds were put at work. During the morn
ing and afternoon only three cars were run
on the Sixth avenue, where usually sixty
cars are in operation. One car run On
Seventh avenue and one on the Fifteenth
street line. The company did not sent any
car over the Hicks street division.
This afternoon the motormen held q
meeting and appointed a committee to
wait on President Norton. This gentleman
Informed the committee that he would give
the men until s O'Clock tomorrow morning
to get their new uniforms and go to work.
This the men say they will not do. They
will, however, report for duty In the morn
ing. Policemen are stationed at all car
houses to prevent trouble. The men say
they will be allow to go to work before
many days are over and will not have 10 buy
the new uniforms, either.
President Norton thinks the other way,
however, and says he feels sure that he will
bs able to get enough men to man the cars If
the old men do not return.

Gently reported there.
The Americans were advised of the dam

which they must pass, and were urged not
to attempt the trip. This advice was not
needed, and word has just been received
here that their bodies have been found in
a rsvine near the village of Nscory. It Is

ing Ysqui indians for the purpose of
robbery
