THOSE Suspicious.

'It is a Chinese puzzle-this ex.
creme suspicion in various Annexa-
ion quarters, of the American
League."-Star.
2 We are inclined to think that
bur contemporary unconsciously
sxaggerates the amount of the sus-
9icion above referred to. There do
cot seem to be indications of any
seep-rooted feeling of the sort.
What there ia however arises natur-
Tly and inevitably from the fact
aat the American League is a
scret organization. There is
Sndency in human nature to sus-
vet secrecy. The tendency often
Exhibits itself in a very absurd and
btuous way, but it nevertheless

pity simple way of dispelling this
aspicion. Throw the meetings of

THE PLOT THICKENs.

We publish this morning a set o.
resolutions, by which it appear;
that the Cocoanut Club demands
representation in the Councils.
And who, pray, is the Cocoanut
Club? What is it composed of and
what is it for? We never saw a
list Of its members, nor read an
account of its transactions. Ac-
cording to its own statement, it
knows where the milk in the cocoa
nut is to be found, and it does not
take very shrewd guesser to
opine that about all the society was
ever organized for was to extract
the milk.
1t is about time that this i'm
pertinent folly should cease. The
Cocoanut Club, indeed The next
thing we shall have series of res
buttons and demands from the

He will go TO the capital with as good
credentials as any other man under
its roof possesses and we warrant that
he will fill the Hawaiian
Star Feb. u.
There seems to be some ambi-
guilty here, which the public would
be glad to have cleared up. Is
the candidate of the American
League to be placed in the Coun-
ellis, or the candidate of the An
nexation Club ? The election is to
be held, as we understand it by
the club, and it does not appear
that all the members of the league
viii even be entitled to vote. as no
one votes except members of the
club. The league expects" its
man to be chosen, but the Star
warrants" that the candidate of
the Annexation Club is to be the
coming man. Is it arranged be-
forehand that the chosen of the
league is also to be the best be-
loved of the club
The puzzle is certainly a hard
one, and we write from a sincere
desire for information in the

THE SITUATION.

| The essential features of the
political situation have not changed
since the last mail was sent to the
Coast. It is settled that Mr.. Hatch
will accept the position of Minister
of Foreign Affairs, so that there
will be vacancy in the Councils.
A candidate for this vacancy will
be named by ballot in the Annexa-
ton Club. This action is taken as
result of the very natural and
proper wish on the part of the Gov
eminent supporters to have more
direct influence upon its councils.
This wish meets with nothing but
the most cordial sympathy from
the Government, which has con-
stantly desired to maintain the clos
est relations with the people. The
good understanding is not likely
to be disturbed. On the contrary,
the holding of an election like the
present should give fresh solidarity
to the relations between the Govern
ment and the Annexation Club.
The royalists have not yet aban-
doned their hopes Of a miraculous
in their favor, and |
continue to plot and plan against |
the Government. Every week |
brings them new disappointment,
but they rise after each rebuff with
4 buoyancy which bears strong
witness to the lightness of their
hearts and heads.
Business continues to be very
lull, and there is no immediate
prospect of any great improvement.

Three Questions.

Why should the Administration
be embarrassed" or mortified" OF
even disappointed" because Min.
lister Willis has endeavored faith
fully to carry out his his instruc-
tions from Secretary Gresham and
President Cleveland to order out
the Provisional Government and to
put Liliuokalani back upon the
throne?
If, as Secretary Gresham declared
as long ago as Oct. Is, nothing short
of the restoration of the '.legiti-
mate Government" would satisfy
the demands of justice, why should
the report that Willis has gone
ahead ON that line annoy Mr..
Gresham now?
If, as Mr.. Cleveland informed
Congress on Dec. Is, right, justice
and morality required this govern
ment to restore the Queen, why
should there not be Joy unspeak-
able in the White House today
over the news that Liliuokalani
consents to be restored under the
conditions imposed by Mr.. Cleve-
land himself?
These questions are likely to be
answered in a very interesting
manner within a few days. But
there remains one other question
even more interesting.
Suppose that by Mr.. Cleveland's
unconstitutional interference the
Queen has actually been restored,
after having first pledged her royal
word to her great and good friend
in Washington not to behead the
members of the Provisional Govern
ment, or any of the leading revolu-
tionists. Suppose that the Queen
restored to power should go back
on her royal word, snap her fingers
at her great and good friend, and
begin her second term by giving
a large job to the Royal Execu-
toner.
Would right, justice and the
law then require Mr.. Cleveland,
still acting on his own RESPONSE |
bility, to proceed to overthrow |
the treacherous and bloodthirsty |
of his creation, and estab-
lish another Provisional Govern
nent in Hawaii ?-N. Y. Sun.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY Is, 1894.

THE New York State Assembly
has passed resolutions congratulate
ing Hawaii ON having secured its
freedom, and the President for
having abandoned his policy re-
garding this country. This is
simply one demonstration of SYM
pathy among the many which
come to the Provisional Govern
ment, publicly and privately, from
all parts of the United States.

While the rainy weather is
not pleasant for the pedestrian,
it teaches us to appreciate the
| sunshine when it is here. In
addition to this it creates a
| demand for the best steel mat
made II the Hartmann, of
which we have a stock of
assorted sizes. These Mats
are better than the foot scraper
and will last longer. For
Kauai mud, of the early red
variety, there IS nothing to
equal it. Maui mud can be
handled with the same ease
and dexteriety by the use of
the Hartmann Mat.
Two articles we handle for
plantation use are growing
more popular every day: the
Colorado brands OF lubricating
oils and the locked wire fence.
The oils after a trial lasting
more than a year have proven
better than any other oil i'm
ported to these Islands. We
have it in use on nearly all
the plantations and we are
adding new customers to it
almost every week. Dynamo,
Engine, Machine, Castor,
Cylinder, Car Box and Red Seal
Valve, make up the list that
covers every branch of
machinery for which oil is
used. Cylinder oil may be |
used six times before it begins
to separate; this cannot be
done with any other grade of
Oil.
The Locked Fence is a good
deal like certain varieties Of
cheese, it speaks for itself.
Wherever a rod of this fence
has been built we have had
orders from otherparties in the
same neighborhood. Strength
md economy are the two
points which commend it to
he public.
If you can get a better article
or less money than you would
Jay for an inferior one, why
lot buy the best, and save
?

JUSTICE AT LAST.
Prendergast, the Murderer
Of Carter Harrison, Hung.
The Assassin Was Sent into Eternity
at 11:48 O'clock This Forenoon.

CHICAGO, July Is. PATRICK +. Prender-
CAST the murderer of Mayor Carter
Harrison, was hanged In Cook County
jail just before noon today. The trap fell
at 11:4S.
As the hour appointed for the execution
drew near, all was hustle and confusion.
The gallows had been placed In position
in the east end of the north corridor, and
at 1875 Jailor Morris and his assistants
made the final tests OF the ropes, traps
and trigger.
Prendergast rested well last night and
seemed calm and collected when the jailer
left him. He refused until late last even
ing he receive spiritual consolation, but
when nightfall came on, he asked that
Father Muldoon be admitted.
As Ia the custom the assassin was closely
guarded by bailiffs during the night. Be-
tween and o'clock Prender-

ual advisers and several times, apparently
fearing that they would desert him, re-
marke d: You must stay with me to
the end"
He Died without Weakening.
At i1:42 q. M, far down the sombre halls
could be heard the muffied tramp of the
| funeral cortege. A few moments
later Sheriff Gilbert and Jsilei
| Morris appeared at the right
| Of the scaffoid. The prisoner, pale and
unsteady, walked behind them. He stood
| without apparent nervousness. though q
trifie weak and unsteady, as his arms
were being pinioned. He seemed
determined to die game and looked calmly
| out on the assembled crowd below him.
| The white shroud was next placed about
| him and barring little restless motion
| of the eyes up aud down and from side
TO side he made NO motion
| Jailer Morris now placed the rops
about his neck and white cap over hi,
head, and an instant later at III AS, ths
trap fell. The head was twisted to on,
side, the neck having apparently beer
broken. Slowly swaying back and forth
he hung for few moments while the
physicians held his wrist. A sligh
spasmodic movement of the legs was al
| the sign of life apparent within th'
loosely hanging white robe.
The jury OF physicians which sur
rounded the body, nine minutes after th'
] trigger was sprung, pronounced 1t lead.
At IL 40 O'Clock the shrouded corps
was slowly lowered and laid in the coffiI
standing underneath the platform. Th
face was not badly distorted.

COMPERS TALKS.
He Evidently Thinks That the Strike
Is Still On.

CHICAGO, July 13.--In the course OF an
interview with Mr.. Gompers, president OF
the American Federation of Labor, shortly
after midnight, referring to the cause and
effect OF the present crisis he said:
~ doubt whether the action OF the
committee ON arbitration to be appointed
by President Cleveland will materially
affect the Pullman strike, because
do not see how 1t has anything
do with the Interstate commerce lew.
My understanding is that the O'Neill law
can only take effect when the Interstate
commerce law Is violated"
Mr.. Gompers referred to the settlement
of the great miners strike in England
some time ago when Lord Roseberry arbi-
trated the differences between the mine
owners and strikers.
"The conditions" said he, "were the
was brought in all Of this to force a settle
way. Rosebery took upon himself to
settle It, and did. 1t seems to me IL that
could be done in Europe it can be done
in America. We must have strict arbi-
tration laws here"
Mr.. Gompers seemed to think that this
strike must be carried on for some time
yet, as he said: "There must be con-
tending forces in order to have
an arbitration. The President must
appoint his committee and they
must come here with full power to act.
They will have to closely examine this
whole matter and then report to the
the President and to Congress and then
action will be taken by that body. IL the
strike is stopped at any time the commit
tee will have nothing to report"

attention it would be worse for the
Mayor.
Mr.. Harrison treated Prendergast's
threats as lightly as he had treated his
requests. He ordered Prendergast out OF
the Office, but in spite OF that he did not
think the matter important enough to
mention IL.
Prendergast concluded to write to the
Mayor. His letters were not only un-
answered, but he could not be sure that
they had ever been delivered. Again he
called on Mayor Harrison. This time he
was received brusquely and was warned to
keep away and bother the Mayor no more.
Desperate with his determination to se-
cure the longed for notoriety and enraged
at his repeated failures, Prendergast at
last committed the frightful crime Tor
On the night of October rs, 1893, there
called at the residence of Mayor Harrison
on Ashland avenue, q low browe1, sham
bling, ill-clad fellow, who asked to see
the Mayor. The man was Prendergast.
When informed tnat the Mayor was at
dinner he turned away and said he would
return. When the man called again the
Mayor was dosing on a couch. He
was awakened by the sound OF voices
and came toward the door. The man APP
preached the Mayor, said something,
which was not overheard by the servant,
and then pointed revolver at Mr.. Har-
rison's breast and fired.
The assassin ran into the street, and
after discharging ball at the pursuing
butler, disappeared in Jackson street,
shortly afterward surrendering him
self to the police about the time
that Mayor Harrison expired in the arms
OF Miss Anna Howard OF New Orleans, to
whom he was to have been married in
few days,

to arbitrate or not, or whether he thinks
that he has nothing to arbitrate. The

to bring out all the facts and the public

HISTORY OF THE CRIME.

CHICAGO, July 13.-The crime and the
criminal were alike extraordinary. Prem
dergast, newspaper carrier, about "a
years OF age, took great interest in politics
and during the Mayoralty campaign two
years ago, which resulted In the election
of carter Harrison, he was active in a
small way and spent much Of Ais- time
electioneering and working for Mr..
Harrison. He was also an ardent and
enthusiastic advocate OF the single tax
theory, and by attending meetings of the
Single Tax Club he had gained smatter-
and among his fellows he was regarded as
a prodigy of learning. Prendergast re-
garded himself in the same light and
treated the other carriers with superctl-
Iiousness and evident contempt, which
they, however, seemed disposed rather to
encourage than resent.
Last summer, he grew tired OF his
featureless existence. He wanted to be
talked about. He longed to see his
nano In the newspapers, to know that he
was filing the public eye. He lusted after
distinction no matter whether it was good
or bad. Those who knew him Wrought he
would risk his liberty for the delights he
dreamed OF, but not his life.
At last II occurred to him that IL would
create comment II humble newspaper
carrier should apply for high office in
the Municipal Government.
He appeared in Corporation Counsel
Adolph Krous' Office one day and announ-
ced that he desired to succeed Mr.. Kraus
In the position. Mr.. Kraus laughed at him
and took the announcement as joke, and
Prendergast sneaked out. With eager
mesa he looked for the newspapers next
morning for account OF his visit to Mr..
Kraus. II he had found IL probably
Mayor Harrison would be alive today.
Prendergast would have seen his name Ia
type. He would have lorded over the
other carriers Of whom the public had
never heard and been satisfied.
But the newspapers contained no men,
tion of this incident he had so carefully
planned.
Exssperated by his failure TO secure
the notoriety he craved, Prendergast de
termined to make another attempt. lie
