China, complicate the situation.
As an Independent republic Hawaii
cannot absolutely reckon upon the pro-
lection of the United States which
could have been more consistently af-
forded the islands under provisional
government, or even under native rule.
Annexation is therefore the only sure
relief. The government is sufficiently
American and sufficiently patriotic to
sacrifice personal ambitions to the pro-
lection of American interests On the
islands. Indeed so much has been
gathered from utterances of representa-
t1ves of the republic in this country.
The provisional government was es-
tablished in fact, with a view to annexa-
ton and when overtures were rebufed
by the present administration the re-
public was erected of necessity. The
men who compose the one composed the
other and nothing has since occurred
to remove the wish to become q ward
or part of the United States.
President Cleveland and Secretary
Gresham have tacitly acknowledged
their mistaken policy. Open acknowl-
edgement was more difficult, but the
changed relationship of the Hawaiian
government and the exigency created
or rather disclosed by the recent insur-
rection has placed negotiations on a
new and easier footing. The sending
of the Philadelphia to Hawaiian waters
last Saturday is hopeful sign and the
resolution of Senator Lodge day before
yesterday, against which only weak op-
position was interposed points to the
early position of Hawaii as an Ameri.
can territory or an American state.

THE BEAUTIES of life sentences are
demonstrated in the case of a man
named True, recently pardoned in Kan

was giving him ride in his wagon and

He was sentenced to the penitentiary
for life, and now after a few years
Imprisonment will be turned loose

BUSINESS AND NOT DISPLAY.
There will be no pyrotechnic display
IN the Eighteenth legislature. That's
good sign. Both branches are prov
ing what THE REPUBLICAN has reiter-
ated since the elections were announ ced
that the Eighteenth would be strictly
business body. There is an absence of
talk and pleasing prevalence of judi
cious action. There are fortunately no
men in either house laboring under a
hallueination that the legislature is a
debating society, supported for the
purpose of promoting forensic skill.
There has been unfortunate, but un-
avoidable delay in effecting organiza-
ton, but that is something for which
the mem bers are in no wise to blame,
The conditions were created on Novem-
Der 6. The delay has been passed and
the difficulties have been happily over
come and the people of the territory
may congratulate themselves on the
prospect of not too much legislation or
unwise legislation.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
The biennial message of Governor
Hughes, which was submitted to the
council last night, is an admirable state
document and abounds in many wise
and useful suggestions that must COM
mend themselves to the legislature.
Many topics Of public interest are
called to the attention of the legisla-
tors ard a basis is furnished for good
and wholesome laws. The condition of
the territory is reviewed at length and
suggestions made touching its improve
ment.
The message should be carefully read

the mem bers, and even if many of the
suggestions made are not practical now
the seed will be sown that will in time
result in much good for the betterment
of the financial, moral and social con-
ditions of the people of Arizona.

It is Between the General Electric and
 Westinghouse Companies.
 New York, April 4.-The deal between the General Electric and Westinghouse companies has been practically conn pleted A plan for pooling the patents of the two companies has been ap- proved by their executive committees and all that remains is for the com mittees to formally sign 1t. This ac- tion has been delayed by the inability of J. Jefferson Coolidge, a director of the General Electric, to attend a meet ing up to this time on account of per- sonal affairs.
 Under the pooling arrangement each company will have the right to manu- facture under the others patents. The companies will contribute a certain per- centage of their earnings to a com mon fund to be used In defending their patents against infringements by other companies Such part of the fund as is not used will be returned to the companies at intervals in proportion to their contributions The litigation be- tween General Electric and Westing- house companies heretofore has en- tailed on them an expense of $1, ,000, 900 year.

William HoTzheur Knows Nothing of the
 Shooting.
 New York, April 4.--William Holzheur was arraigned before United States Commissioner Shields to-day in extradi- tion proceedings charged on complaint of British Consul Sanderson with hav- ing feloniously assaulted Captain Me Neil of the Nova Scotian bark J. H. Marsters by firing five shots at him from a revolver on March 25. Holzheur, if held, will have to stand to trial in Canada.
 Holzheur told his counsel that he knew nothing whatever about the shooting, and that his mind was a perfect blank on the subject. To reporter the pris- oner said that he had never had trouble of any kind with Captain McNeil. He could not account for the shooting and could not think of any provocation. The prisoner said that some years ago his head had been cut open clean across the forehead, since which time he had freuuenty suffered from severe pains in the head and complete lapses of mem ory.

 Washington, April 4.-"venezuela, 'H said a gentleman to-day who has Hved many years in South America, would rather be reduced to ashes than permit Great Britain to occupy permanently the country in dispute between her and British Guiana" This declaration seems correctly to express the sentiment of the Venezuelan people with reference to this long nouted question. What action Venezuela may ultimately take in the matter is not known, but 1t ia doubtful if the Crespo administration is considering the probability of war; The Venezuelanss believe their interests will be protected by the United States and are hopeful that tho dispute be+ tween them may be referred to arbitra4 tion. They insist stFenuously that the territory belongs to them, and Great Britain has been encroaching for years.
 Great Britain, however, has long maintained that while she will erbit4 A@tS SolHS OA eHe PolHIS III ulSpute De- tween the two countries, she will not arbitrate her control of the countryvnow held by her, which embarces about 40,- coo square miles and which includes a portion of the mouth of the Orinico riv- CT. In the cofrespo between Mir. Bayard and the Salisbury governnfent in 1888, when Mir.

 More recently still the British repre- sentatives have claimed that their own- ership of this alhd could be no more the subject of arbitration than Great Brit- aims right to any of the countries in England.

 Trace of Feeling.
 Auburn, N. Y., April 4--Willians Lake, the hired man who murdered Emma Louise Hunt of Carleton, N. Y.s in October last, and mutilated her body, was put tc death by electricity in the prison here at 12:45 o'clock this after- noon.
 Lake met death without showing any trace of feeling. When he was seated irr the chair he closed his eyes and quietly submitted to being strapped. When all was ready the current was turned on The body stiffened in the chair and faint groan was heard. First, 1,74O volts were applied for four seconds, and then the current was re- duced to 150 volts for twenty-five sec- onds; then increased to 1,74O volts for three seconds, and reduced to 15O volts and finally turned off. After having been on just one minute Lake was pro- nounced dead.
 The electrocution was the most suc- cessful of any which have taken place here.

Passengers Robbed by 8 Mounted Band Near Dover, Oklahoma.
 Hennessey, Okla, April IA Rock Island train was robbed this morning at Dover.
 Chicago, April 4-Rock Island officials at headquarters in this city have re- ceived brief report of the train roo- bery at Oklahoma.
 The robbery, according to the com- pany's advices, occurred at 1:50 o'clocd last night twenty rods west of Dover. Train No. was held up by five mount ed men, who ordered the baggageman to open the door of his car. He re- fused, and the robbers fired twelve shots through the door, wounding the baggageman in the wrist. The robbers then broke open the door with a sledge hammer, but did not succeed in get ting any plunder from the baggage.
 They then hurriedly proceeded through the smoking car and one day coach, securing about $500 in money from the passengers. They also ob- tained from their victims six revolvers and a number of watches and rings. The passengers in the sleeping cars were not disturbed.
 The robbers were last seen from the train going west from Dover, all mount ed, the leader being upon a mettlesome gray horse. A posse started from King fisher, the next station, in pursuit.

WILL NOT PAY THE BILL.

Commissioners Cannot Receive Pay for
 Work From the City-CorpsratiOn COun-
 sel Ely's Opinion on the Subject.
 Commissioner Johnson of the board of public works will never receive his pay for shoeing the horses of the police department if the opinion of Corpora tion Counsel Ely, which was presented to the board of finance last evening, is sustained.
 It will be remembered that at the last meeting of the board when the bill of Commissioner Johnson was presented for approval g. question arose as to its | legality and it was voted to refer the entire matter to the corporation coun- 1 sel for an opinion.
 Commissioner Johnson's claim is that as he was not a member of the same board of commissioners for which the work had been done therefore he was not included in the provisions of the charter, which expressly set forth that no commissioner shall do any work and receive any compensation for the same from the city,
 The opinion of the corporation coun- sel, however, clearly upsets this claim and Is substantially as follows: "The language of the charter is clear and explicit and it makes no difference whether the orders come through the board of which he is or is not mem Der, the prohibition covers both. In my opinion, therefore, member of one of the public boards of this city has no right to do work or furnish material for other boards"
 The financiers in view of this opinion decided to return Commissioner John sons bill unapproved to the police de- partment and also to send a copy of the opinion to the several boards. The amount of the bill of the commissioner is SAT
 Police Commissioners Prince and Moran and Superintendent Smith ap- peared before the board and made the. request that the board appropriate $4,- S60 for the use of the police department to meet the current expenses of the year., Commissioner Prince told the members of the board that the expenses had been cut down to the very lowest ebb and that the sum asked for was ab- solutely necessary to carry the depart ment through the year.
 All his statements were confirmed by Commissioners Moran and Superin- tendent Smith. In executive session the city financiers voted to postpone action on the matter until the next monthly meeting.
 The board voted to pay ex-Tax Col lector Tuttle's bill for $S64.71 for the contingent expenses of the tax collec- tors office for the year 1894 This bill has been hung up in the board for several months, but last night it was voted almost unanimously to pay it.
 After the regular monthly bills of the several departments of the city government had been approved the meeting adjourned.

Interesting Result of Caucus Held in New
 Britain.

New Britain, April At the republi- can caucus here tonight there was a little flash in the pan which indicated that Apaism in New Britain is not en- tirely dead. At joint meeting of the aldermen and councilmen held few nights ago the name of Edward M. North was put up for police commits sioner. He received all of the votes but one, that one being Samuel Muir who positively refused to vote for North It was expected, therefore, that at to- nights caucus Muir would be slaugh- tered in his efforts to secure a nomina ton for the common council. Out of total of 324 votes, however, Muir reciev- ed 29O, and as a. nomination is equiva- lent to an election, Mir. Muir goes in next Monday, which is election day. Democrats argue this way: That Muir ordinarily would have been torn to pieces by his party for refusing to SUD- port it's candidate, and the fact that he was not defeated leads them to believe that A. P. A. may be at the bottom of this matter
