The Hawaiian Republic Still Favors

Washington, November 28.-Mr. Fran
els NJ. Hatch, the representative from
Hawaii to the United States, has returned
to The city after long absence. The
the prospects of renewal during the in
coming administration of steps for the
annexation of Hawaii to the United
States. Mr.. Hatch declined to talk on
the subject, but referred his questioner to
the following resolution as passed by the
legislature of Hawaii in May last show
ing the attitude of his governments OIL
tie subject:
"Whereas. it has heretofore been the
announced policy bolh of the Provisional
government and of the kepu blic of
hawaii TO advocate the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands to the United States OF
America; aud
''W hereas, the legislature of the Re-
public of hawaii is now In regular ses-
sion assembled, and Will soon adjourn
for considerable period; and
Whereas, it is fitting that the elected
repi eseItatives OF the people should place
them selyes on record as t, the present
,tite of feeling among themselves anu
their constituents on this subject, be
it
Resolved, by the Senate and House
OF Representatives, That the legislature
OF the Republic If Hawaii continues to
tie, as heretofore, firmly and steadfastly
in favor or the annexation the Ha-
waiian islands TO the United States of
America, aud in advocating such policy.
they feel assured that they are expressing
not onl5 their own sentiments, but those
Of the voters of the republic"
III this connection it will be recalled
that just before the close Of the last ad-
ministl alion Secretary of State Foster
negotiated treaty with commission
from Hawaii for the annexation Of thai
country to the United States. 1t was
SO 1t 10 tho Senate by President Harrison,
but was nut acted on dnriug his admin
istration. After President Cleveland
came inro Office and before the Senate
had disposed of the treaty the former
withdrew it, Ihs document not having
been ratified by this government, nothing
was tlone by the Hawaiians.
The legislature of Hawaii will not
meet again for some time. 1t ia under
| stood, however. that the President OF
that country he's the power, should he
deem 1t expedlent at any time, 60 reopen
negotiations with the United States for
a trnatv looking to annexation.

force and fraud. BY constitutional de-
vice, and Thoroughly dishonest one. 10000
peopls.in Mississippi are able to WELD
power both in the electoral college and
in the House of Representatives., which 1t
requires nearly 200, 600 to exercise in any
Northern state. Sixty thousand people
if they happen TO be South Carolinianas,
exercise three or four times the inf1u-
ence in this government as the same
numb Der of New Yerkers. There has
been a good deal of figuring since cleo
ton to show that by the change OF
comparatively few votes in Il very few
states. Bryan would have been elected.
Figuring to show what might have been
may have some interest for the curious
and perhaps may furnish soma consol-
alton to the disappointed, but beyond
thar it le useless. But figures that show
what wae, are not only not useless, but
in this case of great value. since they
contain a solemn warning tc the North
that heI interests ara now largely at the
mercy of the unprogressiye people OF the
South, who have by force and fraud
succeeded in securing three or four times
as much power and influence as belongs
to them. Something ought to be done to
| rectlfy the great wrong that is disclosed
by a comparison of the popular and
electoral Votes of the Southern States,
and to avert the great danger that threat
ems the country by reason Of a combina-
ton between the "classes" of the South
and the dissatisfied and lawless ele-
| ments of the North.
| The North has been lukewarm on
the subject heretofore, because, perhaps,
ii regarded the negroes as the chief party
in interest. but now that the recent
election has shown that tho existing
condition of things Is very serious
menace to its own business interests 1t
may wake up.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local application as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness and that is by constitu-
tiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness Is
the result and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever !;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh.
which is nothing but an inf1amed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

Gen. WeyIer has ia ken tho field again,
which probably means that the home
government has made it knovn to him
not looked upon with favor in that quar-
ter. In view of their big losses New
Hampshire savings bank depositors are
likely to Insist that the legislature of
that state shall surround savings In
situations with some new and strong
safag uard. No New England state shows
anywhere near the percentage of loss
to it's savings banks as New Hampshire,
a result due undoubtedly largely to the
lack of legislative restrictions to invest

1t Is solemn fact Of vast Importance

cry OF various kinds Mr.. Bryan has
been boassing recently that he waa the
candidate OF the masses, and that it was
the Glasses that elected Mr.. Mckinley,
yet it is fact that 112 of mis- electoral
votes, that is, "a considerable majority
of them, came flom tho old secession
states, which polled only 2,OOO, COO
votes. The total electoral vote of all the
states is 447 and the total popular vote
at the recent election was not far from
49, 500. 900. Thus it will be seen that in
those Southern States voting popu!a-

threw only 67.0UO votes, and chose nine
bryan electors, while New Jersey, which
polled five times as many votes, chose
only 10 Mckinley electors. Mississippi,

VOTING NORTH AND SOUTH.
(New York Sun. }

The official returns Of the vote of Ne
brAska at the late election show the ag-
gregate poll to have been a23, 091. The
vote Of South Carolina, as given by the
Augusta Chronicle, was 6S, ALL only, and
OF Mississippi 50, 46S only. Yet both
of these Southern states have greater
population than Nebraska, the present
estimates being 1875, 600 foi South Caro-
lima, 1850, coo for Mississippi, and only
|, 100. COO for Nebraska. Mississippi and
South Carolina have nine electoral votes
each, and Nebraska only eight. As they
were all Bryan states, we have put them
together to show how easy it was for
a reputation oligarchy 20 carry the two
southern States and what tusslo Bryan
had in the Northwestern States.

A Bicyclist's Effort to Ride Mile in
One Minute.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. &c. e. Anderson
attempted to ride one mile in one min
ute, paced by locomotive, and failed
by three seconds. The trial was on the
track of the Bluff Line Railway, nine
miles north of East ST. Louis. The track
was solidly planked, and the engine was
an express speeder Several warming
up spurts were made over part of the
track to get the speed regulated. In one
of these Anderson made half-mile in
SO seconds.
For the final trial a half-mile running
start was made. AS the engine crossed
the starting line the cycler was seen
twelve feet behind the engine, and
seeming to urge the pacemaker, which
was going at a 5S-second speed. At the
half the speed was about a mile min
ute, with Anderson working hard, and
fifteen feet behind. AT the three
quarters the engine was turned loose
and crossed the line in one minute, with
Anderson trailing, and three seconds
short. He was badly winded, and could
not have gone 100 feet further.
The wheel was geared to %, and to
this Anderson attributes his defeat

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 9.-Wednes-

Jules Gueymaud, a Storekeeper, was as
Sassinated while standing on his front
porch. A Sicilian named Lorenzo Sail
dino was known to have a grudge
against Gueymaud, and was suspected
and arrested Friday night. The Sheriff
had great difficulty in preventing the
people from lynching Salidino then, and
secretly conveyed the prisoner to Han
vile, the county seat, and placed him in
Jail. This structure is a new brick build
ing, and was guarded by a negro night
watchman, who had performed the duty
several years. Two other Italians named
Decino and Angelo Marcuso were con-
fined in the Jail for the murder Of an
aged Spaniard on one of the plantations
About midnight last night a mob Of
about fifty persons, we'll armed, sur
prised the guard, battered down the
doors of the jail, and took out the three
Italians. The prisoners cried and begged
for mercy, but the crowd took them to q
stable a short distance away, gave them
two minutes in which to pray, and then
strung up all three of them by the necks
to the rafters.
The crowd stood around a few minutes
until the bodies ceased to struggle, and
then opened fire from their Winchesters
on the dangling forms, literally riddling
them with bullets. The lynchers then
quickly dispersed.
The news soon spread, and by daylight
big crowd gathered where the three
bodies We're yet hanging, presenting
CHASTITY sight. 1t is said the lynching
party came from ST. Gabriel, the former
home of Gueymaud but none of them
We're recognized.

left Chicago for Pittsburg by the Penn

where another stop for the night viii
be made. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan de-
parted from the Clifton a few minutes
after II, after shaking hands with q
large number of people gathered to say
good-by, and were driven to the Union
station, accompanied by the members
OF the Chicago Reception Committee.
They had secured berths in the regular
sleeper, and retired as soon as the train
drew out of the station.
Hon. Richard 2. Bland, who will ac-
company Mr.. Bryan to New York. left
Chicago this afternoon and will join the
nominee at Alliance tomorrow.
The day was really a day of rest for
Mr. Bryan, and one of the few he has
succeeded in passing since his nominal
ton. Mr.. Bryan is a good sleeper, and
despite the intense heat of last night he
rested we'll and did not leave his bed
until nearly 10 o'clock. After breakfast
he and Mrs. Bryan took a carriage at
the Clifton House, where they We're
stopping, and drove to the Englewood
Presbyterian Church, beautiful struct-
ure at Sixty-fourth street and Yale
Avenue, where they attended divine
service. They selected that house Of
worship because the temporary minis
ter, Rev. John Clark Hill of Austin,
Illinois, is to be the pastor of their
church at Lincoln, and they wanted to
meet him. Mr.. Hill recently received
a call to the First Presbyterian Church
at Lincoln, and will go there in a few
weeks.
After the service they returned to the
Clifton and had dinner. Then both took
a nap until $50. At 6 o'clock Mrs.
Bryan went to the main parlor of the
hotel and received a large number of
people who were waiting to see her
husband. Mr.. Bryan received in his
room. Many of his local supporters
called. One of his visitors was General
Warner, of Ohio, President of the Ma
tional Bimetallic League, the father of
the new silver party.
Mr.. Bryan's plans at New York and
for his New England trip are in a state
of uncertainty. 1t is probable that while
in New York he and Mrs. Bryan will be
the guests of VIM. p. ST. John, Treas
urer of the Democratic National Com
mittee, who recently resigned his posi-
ton as President of National bank be-
cause of his free coinage views. If they
do not stop with Mr.. st. John, Mr.. and
Mrs. Bryan will go to the Hotel Bar
tholdi
Mr. Bryan does not know whether he
will adhere or not to his railroad sched-
uie from Pittsburg to New York. He
had decided to leave Pittsburg Tuesday
morning at 7:30, but he was informed to-
day that the National COMMITTEES
wanted him to reach New York in the
afternoon and not the night of that day.
To comply with this desire he will be
obliged to leave Pittsburg at 3 o'clock
Tuesday morning.
