'1t also provides that for every such re-

the supreme court OF Hawaii has held
that the taking of this oath operated to
naturaliZe the alien and admit him to
full citizenship. IL is not claimed that
since 1885 Mr.. Bowler ever returned to the
United States or resided elsewhere than
on the islands
This government has never held to
the doctrine of perpetual allegiance; on
the contrary. from its organization, it has
maintained that the right to throw of
ones natural allegiance and assume an
other is inalenable. Ezpatristion,' said
Attorney General Black in 1859. includes
not only emigration out of ones native
country, but naturalization IN the
country adopted as a future residence
The effect Of naturalization us to place
the adopted citizen in the same relation
to the government as native citizeAs or
subjects.
'The right of the Hawaiian government
with his consent to adopt Mr.. Bowler as
fully as if he had been born upon its soil
is as clear as his right to expatriate him
self. He manifested his intention sof
abandoning his American citizenship by
taking oath to support the constitution
and laws of Hawaii and bear true al
legiance to the hing, and SO far as known
he manifested no contrary intention be-
fore his arrest That oath is inconsistent
with his allegiance to the United States.
By taking it he obligated himself TO sup
port the government of his adoption, even
to the extent OF fighting its battles in the
event of war between it and the country
of his origin.
HE could not bear true allegiance to
both governments at the same time. The
president directs that you inform Mr..
Bowler that he is not entitled to protec-
tion of the United States; that on similar
eases you Will be guided by the views
herein expressed, and that you furnish

MINNEAPOLIS, May 11.-Venezuela does
not intend to be caught mapping as Mica

has evolved a scheme for the establish
ment of the Bank OF Venezuela. in which
American capital is to be heavily inter-
ested and to which is to be intrusted the

be furnished by the Nenezuelans and the
rest BIZ the Minnesota men and their east
ern hackers in New York and Washing
ton. The bank will have n complete
monopoly of the collection OF the tCxes
and duties for the entire country.
1t is expected that the bank Will be run
ming in n very short time and that it will
enter upon the collection of duties at the
earliest possible date. This haste is
the result in part the action of
Great Britain in levying on the
revenues of Nicaragua. The Of
fcals Of Venezuela desire to be pro-
tected from any similar move in so far as
the bank with an American interest can
protect them. President Crespo and his
advisers were very anxious for Americans
to take hold .: the institution and they
wanted above all that the British should
have no interest in the affair.

the delegates favored demanding 40 cents,

old wages.
The delegates left for their homes last
evening to ascertain the sentiment among
the miners, and will return today and re-
port to the convention. There was ;

Williams, Gays "the government

tains lies so indecent that 1t would
be a violation OF law anywhere in

This certainly would indicate that
the illumination was against the
foreigners as such and not because
they are missionaries. OF neces-
sity, the missionaries see things
through their own spectacles and
it is incumbent upon the Ameri-
can government to take this into
consideration when investigating
the reports. The clergy are no
more backward than the laity in
footing their own bazoos. The
duty OF government is to protect
its citizens as citizens and not as
sectaries, or religious propagan-
dists.

LoRD.sTILL A CONVICT.
Gov. Atkinson Declines to Pardon
Notorious Convict.


ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 7.-Governor
Atkinson has refused to pardon
Sydney Lascelles, commonly known
as Lord Beresford. Lascelles struck
Georgia about five years ago, and,
pretending to be the representative
of an English syndicate, duped par
ties at Rome, Ga, out Of several
hundred dollars. Lascelles has a
wife in New York who is now suing
for a divorce. Her family opposed
the application for pardon, fear
ing that Lascellss would bring
about a reunion il he was released.
A year ago Lascelles escaped
from the penitentiary camp, where
he is employed as a lumber checker.
When found he was in a resort of
questionable character in Ameri-
Gus. His conduct in that house is
made the ground for the divorce
suit. Mrs. Lascelles is said to have
inherited $2,000,OO0. Beresford has
three years more to serve.
The governor granted pardon
to T. P. Littlefield, who was serv-
ing life sentence for killing his
wife and man named Cal. Little
field was a witness to his wife's in
fidelity and he killed her and her
paramour. Littlefield was con-
victed on the theory that he had
long been aware Of his wife's inf.
deity, and that he laid In wait to
kill Call.
