The Policy of Infamy Ended.
SprinRheld Union.


Senator Turpie's resolution. adopted yes
terday by the Senate without dissenting
vote, will answer its purpose. It declares
that It belongs to the people Of Hawaii to es-
tablish and maintain their own
form of government and domestic
policy. that the United States
ought not in any way to interfere there
with, and that interference by any other
Government will be regarded as an act un-
friendly to the United States. II this could
be cabled ~ once to the constitututionai con-
vention. now In session at Honolulu,
we reckon Il would be received with
great rejoicing. although the friends of the
Provisional Government have had Of late no
reason to expect any different de-
liverance from the Senate. The reso-
luton will serve to notify the royal
lists that they have nothing to ex-
pnct In the way of restoring the throne. and
mat appeals TO any other power will be useless.
since the United States has declared a quasi
protectorate as against other powers. Sena-
tor Mills of Texas offered the only objection.
He stood by Cleveland and Gresham In the
opinion that the United States should put
the ex-Queen back upon her throne, but
his cuckooism did not impel him to vote
against the resolution. Thus endeth the lesson
of the policy Of infamy. Long since re-
pudiated by the pc pie, not single vote Is
cast BY tho United States Senate in its favor.
The Hawaiians have triumphed because they
were right and whom they come knocking
with new authority for admission to tho
United States they may rest assured that they
will receive kindly welcome.

men ORGANIZE.
Union RaiIwayEmpIoyes Form
Branch of A. U. S. r. E.
Big Meeting Held Last Night Lasting
Well on to Daylight This Morning.

With a view to self-protection against
possible cut-downs in their wages the con-
ductors and motormen in the en-
ploy OF the Union Railroad Company
have organized branch OF the
Amalgamated Union of Street Railway
9S Weybosset street last night
under the auspices Of the
officers OF the international organizat ion
who came from Boston. Two hundred and
eighty-seyen of the local employees were
present and took. the oath. There are
approximately 450 men, all told, in the
employ OF the company and IT Is ex-
pected that the newly formed branch
will include them all in its membership.
There was an assessment OF Sl.25 per
man levied, with the understanding
that % cents will be refunded IL it is
found that u from each person viii be
sufficien. TO defray expenses.
The 2s7 already enrolled include men
who have been on the road any
where from five to twenty-five
years, and the most reliable OF
the employees. Others who have not as yet
joined are in sympathy with the movement
and signify their intentions Of going with
the rest. One veteran conductor,
who ridiculed the idea when previous
attempt was made for union,
says that conditions have changed now
and that the men are fully warranted in
adopting some efficient method for SELF
protection. Another says that he is sorry
Tor Manager Potter's sake because the lat
ter had worked for the best interests of the
men since the new management came into
control, and he had eecured from the
New York directors assurance that the
wages OF the older men would not be cut
down. And as his principal arguments
have always been that the men
were faithful and reliable and not
attached to any labor organization, the
formation OF one now would tend to
position. pi A "stiii,o ;" continued ea''s the
same conductor, now that the movement
is started hope it will be carried through
successfully.
Last nights meeting was called
at late hour in order
that the men who run
and it was nearly daylight when adjourn
ment was taken. Nothing was done at the
first meeting but to perfect the organ
ization. The board of officers consists of
some of the oldest, most reliable and con-
servstive men on the cars.
The rumor that certain men have re-
ceived their notice to get through is true
only in a limited sense. Two have been
discharged because they were partially
paralyzed and unable to do to the work,
and a third will get through because
he is SO near sighted that he
cannot see the length of his car. No one
has been discharged without cause, and at
present there Is no reason for believing
that there will be.

LEGS CUT OFF.

Robert Downey. brakeman on the
Providence, Warren a. Bristol branch OF
the Consolidated system, was fatally in
jured in the India Point freight yard this
morning. Downey was braking single
box car which was being "kicked" on a
side track. lie attempted to set the brake
up TO stop the car, when the brake chain
snapped asuDder. Downey was thrown
from the top of the car and fell directly in
the path of the car.
The wheels passed over his legs mang-
ling them horribly and crushing the
bones lin n frightful manner.
The car ran into the bumper at the end OF
the track and was stopped.
Donney was picked up by his fellow
workmen and the ambulance was sum-
moned. lie was taken to the Rhode Island
Hospital where il was found that the legs
had been severed almost entirely from the
body, one below and the other above the
knee.
Downey is about 80 years OF age. .unmar-
ried, and boards at 260 India street.
Hisinjuries are of such serious nature
as TO preclude any possibility OF recovery.

.-, oaA, slay Ii.--Old Tip, the bad
elephant of Central Park, was sill alive
at $3.50 this morning.
Park Commissioners CIausen, Strauss
and Bell, accompanied by Superin-
tendent Smith aud Secretary
Burns, arrived at the park ut q
O'Clock In company with Doctors Hunt !
angton, Allen and Spitzket. Att o'clock
they gave Tipa carrot ian which two ounces
Of cyanide OF potassium were hidden.
The elephant swallowed 1t and then
threw IL up. Afterward he was given
two apples with similar dose and
another on piece of bread, but he refus-
ed TO swallow these.
At 1892 Old Zip began to vorhit and
continued retching for half an hour.
Ais legs are beginning to wobbloa little,
but the only poison he has really swal-
lowed SO far was that contained in the
1rst carrot.
The commissioners are evidently
weary, OF the Job and Tip appears
20 have a longer lease on
would haveSat this time. The doomed
elephant is apparently too knowing TO be
caught with cyanide OF potassium. He
was not dead at 1915 O'Clock this morn
5ng, although Industrious efforts have
been made to kill him for over three
hours. He is not dead for the simple rea-
son that he will not cat the poison.
The keepers were nonplusscd. In two
hours carrots, each containing ounces
OF cyanide of potassium, were offered
80 the elephant. lie refused 10 swal-
low any OF them. Some of the
poison, however, had managed to
work its way INTO his stomach,
but il seemed to have little or no effect
except to make him vomit.

GAME OF SHUTTLE COCK.
House Payroll Tossed Back and Forth
Betw cen Clerk and Auditor.

Clerk Con ley and the State auditor are
at it again. Colonel Landers informed
him yesterday in effect that the certificate
of the payroll required the additional
signature of the recording clerk, that the
House was in session but six days, and that
his pay roll for So days was grossly in excess
OF the actual attendance. Clerk Conley
replied today. He tells Col. Landers that
be can't find any certified pay roll
in his Office which is signed
by both clerks, and never before
was any question raised as 10 the
certification OF the pay roll. 1t was mere
gratuitous assumption on the part
OF the auditor that the number
OF days attendance was grossly
in excess of the actual attendance. He
couldn't go outside the House journal and
there was no dereliction of duty on the
part of the officers of the House. The
auditor had not answered his conun-
drums as to what that additional appro-
priation of $4,000 for the PAYNE and
mileage was for nor as TO whether
special act is necessary TO secure
the wherewithal TO pay the expenses
OF the May session. In short be definite
and determinate answer. IL the present
session IS continued fortnight f0nger
the Democracy can take their legitimate
six days pay and afford to throw in the
40 Rump sessions.
