A Privilege of the Lamb.

To Tar EDITOR OF THE News:
sIR-Dorothy's papa had been reading
TO her OF the strange adventures of the
Alice in Wonderland and in the morning
she recited the following dreamland poem
whic h she had invented in her sleep:
Mary had a little lamo
Whose teeth were pale dark black.
And every where that Mary flew
The lamb would call her back.
DC danced with her In church one day
And ran against pew.
IL made the peoples hair turn gray
To see what they would do.
"What makes the lamb act like a fool?"
The people did inquire.
The preacher said 'lt can't be helped
One may gambol in Rhode Island"

They further allege that IL was an insult
to the women OF Rhode Island to invite
the Women's Christian Temperance Union
and other kindred associations OF
Christian womae TO conduct tents and
departments at the fair, and at the same
time admit to all the privileges of the
fair people whose presence was for the
sole purpose of preying upon the unwary
and leading them into temptation.
The Journal protested against the
numerous forms of gambling and cheat
ing which sbounded at the fair, and now
The NEWS has openly thrown down the
gauntlet, and Is pushing war against the
gambling of the fall meeting.
1t Is claimed that since the second
period Of horse racing began no less than
90 men have been irretrievably ruined,
and that OF these, four have been led int o
acts OF dishonesty in order to conceal
their ruin.
The clergy Ia convention this week
passed ringing resolutions in denunci-
alton OF the fair association, and q COM
mittee has been appointed to draw ap q
petition to the General Assem- bly,, pray
ing to the state to withdraw its aid from
the ASSOCIATION and To suppress the
gambling.
The managers OF the association, who
lease the track for the races and who
manage the State fair, say they are not
scared by the ministers; that Providence
has long been sleepy old town, with no
life In 1t, and that it is time to infuse q
little spirit and progress into It's veins.
They say they will not be influenced by
resolutions, and that the exciting sport
OF racing will be furnished to the people
of Providence SO long as the people like
the sport.

Providence Correspondence Boston Sunday Globe
The clergy and the bulk Of their con-
gregstions are organizing for q crusade
against thevState Fair Association because
of the gambling and other alleged in
iquities occurring daily at the horse rae
ing carnival at Narragansett Park.
The association receives State aid, and
has hitherto fiourished as an offspring Of
the society for the encouragement of
domestic industry.
At the last State Fair, held recently, the
ministers say the vice Of gambling was
encouraged by the association, patronized
by its president and officers, and that "th
privilege OF running scores OF young men
by making gsmesters of them" was sold
for the purpose of making money for the
association.

Attempt to Assassinate Special Off

BY The Assooi ated Press.

H5 4 ITO IsEEOVIWttU 7 IFd5.
BRocKToN, Mass, Oct. 15.-Special on
Ger Edwin G. Knight OF Randolph, who was
employed at the Brockton Fair to
detect liquor sellers, was riding in
an electric car, last evening, when
covered carriage was driven rapidly up
from behind, and a heavy charge OF buck
shot was fired from gun in the carriage
directly at the window where the officer
sat. The charge tore hole in
the panel of the car and went under the
seat occupied by Mr.. Knight. There is no
clew to the perpetrator of the act, but it
is thought it was a deliberate plan to as
sassinate the officer on account of his re-
cent activity in prosecuting liquor sellers.

APPOINTED WAY AHEAD.

Several banking institutions have asked
that Arbor Day be designated so that
they may be in a position TO accurately
compute interest ON paper they may
hold. Governor Brown has therefore app
pointed the first Friday in May next year
TO be observed as Arbor Day. The Law
passed at the last January session pro-
vided that notes due on Sunday and holi-
days should be payable the day following.
That Is why the bankers want to know
the date OF Arbor Day. In preceding
years il has been customary for the Gov
ernor to announce the date by proclsma-
tion about a month ia advance.

DAVIES TALKS.
He Calls the Provisional Govern
ment KidnapperS.

Davies began his talk to-day by
saying:
1.-TWO or three adventures, whom
| will not name, set out to kidnap
the nation They founded a bogus
company and induced Dole and
few other men of high character to
give the sanction of their names as
directors, and then they issued
their prospectus and sent it to
Washington. Many people in Ho-
nolulu and in this country were
beguiled by the plausibility of the
prospectus and the responsibility
of the directors, but l have been
confident from the first that what
ever party was in power, the
United STATES would reject the pro-
posal as soon as they realized the
circumstances under which it was
made, which they must necessarily
do before the matter could be con-
summated.

NAVAL STATION AT PEARL HARBOR.
Admiral Walker Will go to Hawaii
Prepared to Act.
Washington Post, March "a, 1894.

The announcement in The Post
some days since that the President
would make use of the $25O,00O
appropriated for naval stations in
1892 as soon as possible in Pearl
harbor, Hawaiian Islands, is fully
confirmed by the statement of one
of the highest officials of the gov
eminent that Admiral Walker goes
to Honolulu for no other purpose
than to establish a naval station of
the United States, and to provide
against any possible attempt by
foreign power to secure influence In
the affairs of the government there.
1t is understood that the Admiral
will be authorized to secure the
necessary land for the naval sta
ton and to take posses sion of it.
He will leave San Francisco the
second week of April and hoist his

ment has for several years rented a
lot of land In Honolulu, and has
kept stored there from 1900 to
1900 tons of coal for the use of our
naval vessels. Honolulu is, there
fore, already United States coal
ing station, and, although the re-
moval of that station to Pearl Har-
Dor, few miles distant on the
same island, might have some sig
nificance attached to it, such "a
change might also be considered
one of mere expediency Ii Adj
miral Walker takes possession of
points at the mouth of Pearl
Harbor, such as would naturally
be required for certifying and de
Tending it, then the construction
placed upon his action could only
be that the United States intended
to protect, if not eventually annex,
Hawaii.

Francisco Chronicle.
Francisco, April 5, for Honolulu,
where he will relieve Admiral Irwin
and hoist his flag on the cruiser
Philadelphia. In addition to his
formal orders and letter of intro
duction to Minister Willis he is
charged with the mission of de-
termining the most favorable local
ity of ground inside of Pearl Har-
Dor for United States coaling
station, adapted for docks and
necessary shops for the general uses
of the Navy, and of entering into
negotiations for the purchase of
such property.
He has had conference with the
President as we'll as with Secretaries
Gresham and Herbert, and departs
with unusual discretionary powers.
His actions are, of course, subject
to the subsequent approval and
ratification of the President, but his
recognized familiarity with the sub
iect, and the full confidence reposed
in his Judgment are such that he
is practically without limitation to
establish the proposed station.
Before leaving, the Admiral said
he expected to be back in Washing
ton IN the course OF two or three
months, as he could imagine nc
contingencies that would delay him
in Honolulu more than six weeks
or two months at the most. He
had no idea that he would have to
go to Boring Sea, as affairs there
seemed to be working around to
the point where the American yes
sells on patrol duty would not need
the presence of an Admiral's flag
ship any more than they did last
year.
Naval officers were highly elated
when the object of Admiral
Walkers mission became definitely
known, many of them holding that
the occupation of Pearl Harbor was
a very slight step from the actual
annexation of the Hawaiian Isl
ands. More conservative officers
think that, although the establish,
ment of the naval station virtually
amounts to protectorate of the
islands. it is possible that Admiral
Walker, even should he secure q
tract of land, may not erect flag
staff or enter into actual occupa'
ton of the property in the name
of the United States
1t is pointed out that this govern

ADMIRAL WALKER.
He Says There is Nothing Secret
About His Mission.


Admiral Walker was very much
amused, when seen at the Palace
last evening, over the published re-
ports that he had barred his door
to reporters.
"There is nothing secret about
my mission" he said. II am CO.
ing to Honolulu to relieve Admiral
Irwin, but what l will do after l
assume command of the squadron
is a matter that | am not fully adj
vised on myself. Admiral Irwin
will be placed on the retired list on
April 18th. That will be his sixty
second birthday, and, pursuant to
Navy regulations, that event marks
the conclusion of his active service
in the Navy. / will be on hand to
relieve him of the command on that
day, as | expect to arrive in Homo
lulu by the 18th"
1t is rumored at Washington that
Admiral Walker has instructions
from the Administration bearing
upon the proposition made by Queen
Liliuokalani to relinquish all claims
on the throne and favor annexation,
provided she receives an annuity of
$4,000. When questioned on the
subject Admiral Walker smiled and
said he knew nothing of what he
might be called upon to do at the
islands.
Another rumor bearing on the
subject Of Admiral Walkers mis-
sion is to the effect that he is in
structed to secure Pearl harbor for
a coaIing station for the Pacific
squadron. Concerning this rumor
he said:
"Pearl harbor was designated as
a coaling station in a treaty made
with the Sandwich islands num-
Der of years ago, but it has never
been used, for the reason that there
is reef across the mouth of the
harbor covered by only five feet OF
water, and it would require the ex-
penditure of considerable sum of
money to fit it for the purpose.
There is an appropriation of $780,
900 available for the purpose, but
that is all can says. f. Chro-
| nicle.

SUGAR.

NEW YORK, April 5th.-Cuban
centrifugal 96 degrees 2 $4,000
cents. Granulated 4 O6-10O cents.
The San Francisco market is
steady with granulated quoted at
81 cents.
Great satisfaction is felt by the
San Francisco capitalists who are
interested in Hawaiian plantations,
that the Senate Finance Committee
has decided not to urge the abroga
ton of the Hawaiian Reciprocity
Treaty. 1t was made evident In
Washington that this plan would
result in determined fight on the
floor of the Senate, if it was insisted
on, and so the Committee deter
mined 20 let the Treaty stand.
This will give Hawaiian planters
the benefit of any duty that will be
imposed on sugar, and it is certain
that such duty will be levied as
a revenue measure.
