FATALLY SHoT.-William +. Gard
ner, a colored laborer, twenty-six years
of age, was shot and fatally wounded
at Arlington yesterday afternoon by
r chard Ross, a colored constable from
whom Gardner was trying to escape
while under arrest. Gardner had arm
ed himself with a knife and was rusts
ing at the constable to kill him when
the officer fired. The wounded mai
was taken to the Emergency Hospital,
Washington. Gardner is a single man,
and lived with his motherin the county
near the cemetery. About a month
age he was sent to jail in this city upon
a minor charge, it being thought at the
time that he was mentally irrespon-
sible. The ball from Ross pistol en-
tered Gardeners body neal the heart,
and his recovery is impossible.

AouEDUcr BR1DGE.-To-day, if moth
ing unforeseen happens, the Aquednct
cofferdam will be emptied. For two
days the pumping has been going
steadily on. The hole in the lower pier,
which the diver has been working on
for months, is now plainly visible. It's
a more serious looking affair than any
one thought existed. In the beginning
of the pumping a leak in the dam was
developed, which made the inner flow
as heavy as the quantity forced out.
To-day will, in all probability, disclose
the very base of the big pier, which
hasn't been uncovered for sixty years.

Much discussion and misrepro-
sentation of the monetary expert
ment being made in Chile has
caused the representatives of that
government at Washington to issue
a statement to the effect that, al
though the republic has adopted
gold as the standard of value the
same as the United States, it
continues the use of silver. Silver
is exported because more of it can
be purchased by a gold dollar
under the new ratio than can be
purchased in the markets of the
world. The secretary of the Chilean
legation says of the change: at
will have no effect whatever on our
bonds or outstanding loans, all of
which are payable, principal and
interest, in gold. But it will insure
a stable currency. II is not ex-
pected that gold VIII circulate
much in ordinary commercial
transactions. Silver will be the
medium together with bank notes
issued substantially upon the
United States system. To carry
out the provisions of the new law,
the President of Chile is authorized
to sell some OF the nitrate bonds to
procure the coin necessary to retire
this paper money. For three years
be is also authorized to coin
100000 of silver annually, and
to negotiate for advances on the
purchase money of the nitrate
beds"

THE postponement of the pension
item of the appropriation bill can
in no way be regarded as vote of
lack OF confidence In the Execu-
tive. AS has been previously re-
marked in this paper, republican
form of government does not Gre
ate its ministry an infallible body
which on proof of its infallibility is
called upon to step down and out.
Members of the Executive propose
and the people dispose, and between
the two the country obtains legis-
lation far more stable and less sub
ject to be influenced by the passing
passion OF the hour. We believe
the Senate would have done better
to come out fat-footed rather than
making use of pigeon-holing tao
tics. Their action will, however,
give the friends and oppon-
ents of the pension item
time to think on their ways and
the events of the next few months
may demonstrate the wisdom of
the two factions beyond the ques-
ton of doubt. 1t is a pure mat
ter of policy and the country is
taking chances whichever way the
matter is decided. The discussion
has brought out one fact that
should not be pigeon-holed or for
gotten, and that i5 the general
readiness of the majority of the
supporters Of the Government to
deal literally with Kaiulani and
everyone else connected with the
fallen monarchy when a disposi-
ton is shown to accept the changed
conditions that now exist and will
continue to exist so long as the
country stands for u Government
by and for the people.

the countries to which we must
turn with any hope of success, and
if the previous attitude of the two
countries counts for anything the
latter may be expected to 60 about
the work with far less dilly-dally-
ing than the former.
Japan is quite ready TO fall into
line with any movement that will
prove a boon to it's commercial in
terests, and furthermore has plenty
of money and enthusiasm to push
such a scheme to successful realiza-
ton. 1t is on particularly friend
ly terms with the United States
and would undoubtedly contribute
literally to any scheme to bring it
in closer commercial union with
that country. The United States
wants the cable but thus far its
legislators have failed to furnish
the necessary funds. The next
Congress promises 10 do better
than its predecessors and if the
cable lightning really Is to strike
the majority of the next Congress
it is quite necessary for Hawaii to
be in q position to cooperate, that
there can be no cause for delay on
this end of the line.

PREPARED FOR CABLE COOPERATION.

Previous history Of Pacific cable
projects cannot fail to have brought
to the minds of the public men of
this country that if they want any
thing done they must do it them
selves. The Enabling Act placed
before the Legislature is right in
line with this policy, and will allow
the executive powers of the Govern
ment to at least proceed in bust
aess-like manner to test the integrity
of private promoters and the legis-
lators of the governments interested
IN the scheme. With the passage
of the Act, Hawaii is put on record
as being prepared to- deal with any
country willing to pay its proper
tional share Of the expense of con-
struction and maintenance of the
cable. The country is done with
dealing with beautiful generalities
and comes forward Enthusiastically
to show the color of its gold. 1t is
not a strikingly large sum that
Hawaii has to offer, but in con-
sideration of the resources on which
It has to draw, the action forecast
by passing the bill is a display of
determination to do something, that
might be copied by the more
wealthy nations to advantage.
Since the United States has seen
fit to practically shut off England
from landing a cable in this coun-
try, and on the other hand Eng
land shows the disposition to try
the experiment of landing on the
Tanning Island, the cooperation
of Gre at Britain Is to all intents
and purposes out of the question.
The United States and Japan are

New Chair of Oriental Languages at the

state University.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.-When
Edward Tompkins died a quarter of a
century ago, he left $780,, 90 for the
founding of a chair of Oriental lam
guages at the State University.
The donation was in the shape of
land, which the regents were able to
dispose of only recently. The land
has been sold, and now the regents
are looking about for man to fill the
chair. They have decided upon John
Fryer, an EDglisnman in the service
of the Emperor of China.
Fryer has translated many books
into Chinese for the Emperor, and his
attachments are highly appreciated in
China.
1t is probable that Chinese will he
