HAWAII WON THE RACE.
Her Steamer Beat the British Cruiser to
Ncekar Island.

Honolulu, May 81, via San Francisco,
June Tho Hawaiian steamer Iwalani
returned to port two days ago, having sue
cessfully taken possession of Neckar island
and hoisted over it the Hawaiian colors.
1t will be remembered that the last mail
contained accounts of the race for this is
land between Hawaii and England, the
British cruiser Champion leaving port
only two hours after the Hawaiian steam
er departed. Captain King, who was in
charge of the Iwalani, Is also minister of
the interior, and to him President Dole
had intrusted the proclamation formally
taking possession of the island. Kings
instructions We're to crowd on all stesm
and by every means to reach the island
before the English could anticipate him.
In giving an account of the voyage Cap
tain King said that the first day and
half were exciting, as the Champion was
constantly in sight and seemed to be max
ing full speed AS night came on it look
ed as though they might be oyerhauled on
the following ,iay. But at daybreak no
trace of the British pursuing vessel could
be seen. They still kept up full speed,
however, and when they reached the is
land promptly made u landing and hoisted
the Hawaiian colors.
No trouble was experienced in making
a landing US they entered by n big natu-
raj roadway, made by an old volcanic
eruption. Had it not been for this natural
bay, the landing would have been diff
cult, rs the cliffs rose nil around direct
from the wator to a height of 260 feet.
The island which is only about II quarter
of a mile wide and a half mile long, is a
barren mass of lava, with little vogeta-
ton.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The residents of the South B ooklyn

to the selectmen, numerously signed, ask
ing that q Town meeting be called to take
action in reference to the proposed change

One of the most successful exhibitions
of the Pettijohn breakfast foods that has

1t is generally considered that the hand.
some clerk in charge of the exhibition has
something to do with the success of the
affair.
A reporter to-day talked with Mrs
James Ward, mother of George and Joseph
Ward, who ran away from school the other
day and found their way to New Haven.
Mrs Ward has the appearance OF an
honest, hard working woman. She said
she went to New Haven yesterday and
brought the children home. They did not
offer any objection to being brought home,
but are uncommunicative as to how they
got along during their absercs. They adj
mitted that they walked as far as Manga.
tuck, and then got ride to New Haven
and were having good time when their
mother appeared and put an end to the
fun. Mrs ward said the court will be
asked to send the older boy to the Connec-
ticut home for boys. She admits that she
cannot do anything with him. Two weeks
ago he ran away and was not found for
three days. Then he refused to tell q
word about where he had spent the time.
One of his chums said that George Ward
could tell stories like an old man, so that
after all it is not much wonder that he had
such fun with the New Haven policemen.
Residents of Charles street are still
wrestling with the sanitary question. In
spector Moses paid visit to the scene of
the place described in these columns some
time ago and promised to call there again
to-day in company with City Engineer
Cairns and see if pipe could be laid in
the rear of these houses that will carry the
surface water into the lots east of South
Leonard street A resident of the street
said to-day that the place is now in worse
condition than ever The running stream
of filthy water, he says. has been stopped
and confined in the yard west of the CALI
g,n property, forming regular cesspool
and emitting stencil which is almost un-
bearable. No one can find much fault
with the property owners. There is no
outlet for the water and the officials are in
quandary to know what to DO with it.
Some time ago the DEMOCRAT suggested
the plan which it is said is now about to
be put into use to relieve the place of sur
face water and put an end to the wrangle
among the neighbors until sewers are
b.ilt in the street, when the source of all
the trouble will be removed.

Strikers Mar. h ON a Town.

MoNoNGAHELA CITY, Pa, June S.-The
situation at Manown, where the Youghio-
gheny Gas Coal company introduced ne
gro laborers protected by deputies, has en-
tirely changed from quiet to the liveliest
kind of action. Late last night it was
rumored that a crowd of 5000 to 1000
miners would march on Manown. Mar
tial music was heard, shots were fired, and
signal lights began flashing from both
hills. Everything was excitement about
the mines, and the deputies at once set
about barricading themselves in anticipa-
ton of war.
1t will be a hard matter to get news
from Manown without delay, as the only
telegraph office there is in the oompany's
building, and Superintendent Young has
established press censorship. As the mat
ter stands now, correspondents are COM
PEELED to come to Monongahela City to file
their news. 1t is reported that Mr.. Young
said the news could be sent from the Ma
nown office If it was such as he would die

The NIckeesport Mob.

PITTsBURG, June S.-The situation at
Mckecsport remains quiet, the only de-
parture from this rule being the rather
rough handling of well dressed stranger,
who was brought to the railroad station
and hustled onto tho B. and O. train and
told not to leave it until Pittsburg was
reached. The strikers cheered, and the
police made no move to interfere in behalf
of the man, whose alleged crime was that
he had made himself obnoxious all day by
tno closely watching the movements of
the strikers.
1t was reported that n compromise was
being arranged whereby the mon would
return to work within a day or two, but
the company officials declare that they
will not operate works at present. Tho
gas men, who were allowed to go into the
mill, We're again barred out by strikers,
and if not allowed to return before Mon
day the damage will be great to furnaces.
The tube workers at Duquesne who were
forced out by Mckeesport strikers held a
meeting and decided not to return to work
unless increased wages were granted. This,
Superintendent Dunshee says, will not be
done, and he will close down the mill in
definitely.

In the House.

The house had the Indian appropriation
bill under discussion. The main feature
of the debate was an attack on the Catho-
lie church made by Mr. Linton of Michi-
gan, in which he argued against tho con-
tract Indian schools, saying that under
this system the largest share of the appro-
priation for educating the Indians went to
the Catholic Indian schools.
The other point Of interest was the de-
bate on the location of the Indian supply
warehouse, the New York delegation pro-
testing against the abandonment of the
warehouse at New York for one at Chica-
go. This gave rise to n spirited debate
between the champions of the two cities
