DOLE DEFENDS THURSTON
He Says the Ex-Minister Has
Been Placed in a False
Light.
Had Always Been Known to Favor
the Restriction of ASiatic
Immigration.

HONOLULU, Hawaii, June IA New
York Tribune special from Washington OF
June 1, reprinted here this morning, states
that exMinister Thurston had frequent
conferences with Secretary Gresham at the
State Departm ent on the subject of an
nexation'; also, that "the ex-Minister at
no time consented that in the event of an
nexation any change in the relation of the
aliens i'll his country could be brought
about
Mr.. Thurston being out of town Presi-
dent Dole was interviewed on the subject.
Mr. Dole said:
at is my impression that MIR. Thurston
never had the conferences named with Mr..
Gresham. The position attributed to him
on the subject of the relation of aliens,
evidently meaning Asiatic contract labor
ers, was one entirely outside of any
views of this Government. When the
treaty OF annexation was negotiated with
President Harrison there was no other ex-
pectation than that United States law
would obtain here on-that subject. 1t has
always been expected that annexation
would put an end to the contract system. y
Attorney-General Smith was also seen.
He said that to the best of his knowledge
no such interviews as those alleged ever
took place. 1t was expected that the
United States laws in the event of annexa-
ton, would put an end to the present sys-
tenn of labor and to the importation OF
Asiatics, although it would be endeayored
not to make the change so abruptly as to
cause disaster to the plantations.
The special session of the first Legisla.
ture of the republic convened as called at
noon of the 18th, in the former throne
room. President Dole stated that the
republic of Hawaii had been recognized by
all the principal nations. with whom rela-
tions were friendly. Internal affairs had
been IN an orderly and prosperous condi-
ton, except the January instruction
which had been suppressed without serious
difficulty. The outlay including expenses
OF the military court, had been over $780,
GEO. paid from current funds in the treas
ury.

not protect itself, and that in few years
the shadow of Russia moving southwark
must fall upon it. Are her victories about
TO precipitate the very disaster that they
We're Won to avert?
For England, also, the situation is full
of danger. There is no doubt that British
prestige has suffered by recent events.
For century the trend of great issues in
the Orient has been shaped by dictates
from Downing street. To-day it is openly
boasted that the politics of the East are
controlled from Berlin, st. Petersburg and
Paris.
By vetoing Japans tenure OF the Lao
tung Peninsula Russia has established a
constructive right to control its disposal.
By compelling Japan to evacuate Korea
she would acquire in the peninsula a
position of present dictatorship and of
future possession. Manchuria would then
lie at her feet, and from Manchuria she
could command the Gulf of Pechili and
Picking. The law OF growth is memorable.
Russia on the Yalu would inevitably pre-
lude Russia on the Lao. Nothing less
than the partition of Asia seems to be at
stake, and the japanese nation, conscious
of the immense issues involved, watches
for the coming of the crisis.

Settlers on the Wtnneba0o Reserve Elected
by Indian Police
FENDER, NEBR., June 23.-Captain
William II. Beck served notice on thirty
renters occupying Winnebago lands last
Thursday to vacate inside of three days.
Fred Smith, Flournoy Company ten
ant, was visited Saturday evening at $50
O'Clock by thirteen Indian police with di-
rections from Captain Beck for him to i'm
mediately vacate.
Smith resisted the police, whereupon
they proceeded to load his household
effects, turned out his stock and by phys
ical strength succeeded in throwing Smith
from his wagon. The party then started
for the agency. A heavy wind and
rain storm came up about o'clock, and
the Indian police left Smith and his wife
to the mercy of the raging storm. One of
Smiths horses had given ont, and leaving
his wife on the reservation he started with
the other animal for Fender.
One hundred and fifty settlers gaccupy-
ing Flournoy lands on the Winnebago
reservation, and other renters held meet
ing at Emerson, Neb., yesterday and per-
fected an organization for self-protection.

MEXICAN SHIPS ADMIRED.

Successful Close of the Great NayDt De-
nt0nstrGtiOn at KicL
KEEL, GERMANY, June 23.-The maneuv-
ering fleet returned to the harbor at noon
yesterday.
Their evolutions were highly successful.
The vessels of the American squadron have
continued to be objects of admiration and
curiosity to the officers of all OF the assem-
bled fleets, who almost without exception
have inspected them.
The consensus of opinion is that the San
Francisco is the neatest. eleanest and
smartest ship in the harbor, and the Co.
lumbia one of the finest and best.
All of the foreign naval officers speak in
the highest terms of the courtesies ex-
tended to them during their stay here.
The American and French ships sailed at
midnight.
They were boarded by the officers of the
Russian squadron, who heartily wished
their French hosts bon voyage. The Rus
slams were entertained with the utmost
hospitality, champagne constituting a
large share of the refreshments served.
Lieutenant Ward, who was attached at
various times to the United States embas-
sizes at Paris, Berlin and st. Petersburg, de-
clared in an interview last night that he
was heartily ashamed while making the
passage of the canal to think how the
Americans banged the big drum and
blew the trumpet for years, seeking to
show what great nation they were and
what great things they would do in the
tremendous work of building and con-
trolling the Nicaraguan canal, yet they
had neither built it nor allowed any one
else to do it. In the meantime Germany,
saying nothing, had plodded along, and
when the canal was ready it was opened
and the world invited to view it.
This impression is largely shared by the
naval officers of other countries. The en-
tire arrangements were perfect. and the
Germans have shown the visitors from all
nations, without the least indication of par
TALLY, the utmost attention. 1t is said
that the Emperor will pay visit to the
Columbia tomorrow. The representative
OF The United Press went on board the San
francisco to-day. The accident which oc-
| CURED to her steam launch was caused by
the blowing out OF the head of her boiler.
Little damage was done to the vessel or
her fixtures beyond the tearing away of
her awning. -Four persons were hurt, but
| none OF them seriously, not one of them
being placed on the sick list.
The steamer Tantallon Castle, having on
board Nh. and Mrs. Gladstone, sailed from
here for Gothenburg Friday evening. The
steamer is expected to arrive at Grayesend
on Monday.

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY


Tuesday-The court was occupied all
day trying an assault and battery case
that originated up in the town of Gray.
Levi E. Farwell is a tailor but hasn't t
worked at his trade for a number of
years. Last July he was at work in Fal-
mouth for Rufus Legrow haying. On
his return home to Gray his mother in
formed him that she had been ordered by
Albert Hill not to pick berries in the
highway opposite his premises, and be-
cause she did not stop at once he snatched
the nail from her hand and spilled her
berries. Thereupon Farwell waxing
wroth repaired to Hills premises, as
Farwell says to have talk with Hill,
but the state claims that he went there to
thump Hill, and he did it. He found
Hill IN the barn harnessing his horse and
Hill says without a word OF warming he
knocked him down and jumped on him
iniuring him severely. He was found
upon the prostrste body of Hill by Hill s
son, who imln. liately proceeded to bang
and beat Farwell, and when he got
through with him Farwell was a good
!, ate for Albert Hill in appearance at
least.
Farwell claims that Hill attacked him
in the barn first and that all he did was
to defend himself, but there was
testimony from people who saw him 60
ing into the barn and they say that he
deposited his stiff hat on pile OF plank
outside before going in, indicating that
be expected trouble. There is no doubt
but that Farwell got badly punished
after the son and the hired man arrived
upon the scene. The jury returned a
verdict of guilty.
Charles A. Brett, appellant on COM
plaint for having short Holsters in his
possession filed demurrer.
William H. Farrell paid $111.99 on a
