HAwA1rs FOREIGN MINISTER.
Says Annexation Must Come Quicl
or Not at All.

Says Annexation MuSC come QUICK
or Not at All.
San Diego, Cal, Dec. 6.-The secret
of Henry Cooper's mission to United
States is out. Cooper is the Hawaiian
minister of foreign affairs. He for
merly lived in San Diego and was a
prominent member Of the bar. lie is
her today and is quoted as saying
that he came to the Unitde States to
urge annexation, owing to the fears
the Hawaiian government has Of ia
pan. The situation in Hawaii, ac-
cording to Judge Cooper, is that the
Japanese far outnumber all other for
eigners. The Americans are hand
full in comparison. Hawaii has trea-
ty with Japan and cannot exclude the
Japanese who are pouring into the
country steadily and pushing into ev-
cry business. They are losing their
humble demeanor that characterizes
their countrymen on this coast, and
through their great numbers and the
prestige of the Japanese-China war
are beginning to chafe for elective
franchise. If they force Hawaii to
give them the right to vote, then
American ascendency will be at an
end forever. Judge Cooper has laid
the situation before influential men
in the east and he believes that great
strides will be made during the next
year toward annexation under the
Mckinley administration.

GET WELL AND STAY WELL.
Get Rid Of What Makes You Sick
and Stay Rid of 1t.

Get Rid of What Makes You Sick
and Stay Rid of 1t.
1t is SO simple to be well that we
wonder why there are so many sick
people.
Come to think about it, must be be-
cause they don't know what's made
them sick.
If they knew that, they could pre-
vent it, and when they were sick, in
some cases cure themselves. But, so
long as we don't take more care Of
our health, we shall always be more
or less sick.
The simple rules of health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food,
scour out your stomach.
This last means: Don't tolerate in
digestion. Cure it with Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial. A stomach full of undi-
gested, fermented, putrid food is the
unhealthiest thing you can think of.
Half our diseases and troubles come
from the poisons of undigested food
More than half of them could be cur
ed with Shaker Digestive Cordial
More than half, because often when
we think we are sick we are only
weak, and a course of nourishing
food digested without effort by the
stomach with the aid of Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial would reinvigorate
the whole system and make us WELL
A ten cent trial bottle will prove it.

WITH THE SLUGGERS.
A COUPLE OF INTERESTING EVENTS
LAST NIGHT.
Kid Mccoy Wins From .sMysterious
Billy Smith," on Foui-Tommy
Ryan Abuses Joe Dunfee in a
Manner Most Shameful.

BOSTON, May 1S.-Newton Street Ar
mory was crowded tonight with sporting
men to see two 15-round bouts arranged
by the Suffolk Athletic club.
Both bouts were appointments, as
the match between Mike Sears of Bos-
ton and Sam Kelly of New York was
stopped by Captain Foster at the begin
ming of the tenth round in order to pre-
vent a finish and the match of the even
ing between Kid Mccoy and Mysterious
Billy Smith was stopped by Referee
DAILY in the sixth, and awarded to Mccoy
on foul break by Smith.
Mccoy weighed in at 157 and Smith at
152. 1t had been agreed that Referee DAILY
could give a decision at any time. 1t
was announced that if Mccoy won he
would claim the middle-weight cham
pionship and defend it.
Smith soon opened the first with a hard
rush, which Mccoy took coolly and gave
Smith a hot mix-up at the call of tine.
Smith continued his wild ruShes in the
second and third and then, forcing Nc
Coy to the ropes, got hard counters on
most of his rusheS and failed to land
most of the, vicious blows he started.
and clinch, and broke from the clinch by
almost a foul. The round closed for
Smith by heavy blow on McCoy's neck
and Referee Daily warned Smith to break
clearly.
In the fifth, Smith landed right on
the neck followed by frequent mixes
which required the prompt action of the
referee.
Smith missed third attempt for the
face and received a hard counter. Smith
rushed Mccoy to the ropes, after receiv-
ing a stiff uppercut and while clinch-
ing, INDUCED in what looked suspiciously
like the use of his teeth on McCoy's
neck. The sixth opened with another
Mccoy and Mccoy gave his man hot
treatment with both hands in long
arm mix up. Smith closed the round by
breaking foul for the third time during
, re ppua anu neagree lay, after re-
Mccoy on a foul break.
Joe Walcott challenged the winner at
15S pounds for any time and place.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-A condem-
nation meeting of some of the dele
gates of the American Protective As
ISOLATION, claiming to represent twenty
states, was held after the adjournment
of the convention, and a preamble and
resolutions bearing on the Mckinley
matter were adopted. The names of
the states represented and the dele
gates participating could not be OBJ
tanned, and further information was
denied. The preamble and resolutions
adopted follow:
Whereas, The supreme council of
the A. P A. of the United States, at
its session Saturday evening, by an
unanimous vote, adopted the report of
the national advisory board, which re-
port endorsed the action of the execu-
tive committee of said board, and
IN PLAIN LANGUAGE
said that the executive committee was
justified in publishing the political af-
filiation OF Mckinley with the Roman
political hierarchy, which afiliation is
proven by the affidavits Of reputable
members of the order, and which af-
fidavits have never been controverted
except by the unsworn statement OF
Major Mckinley himself, and
Whereas, Major Mckinley did, on
May II, 1890, to a committee of the
national advisory board, in the city of
Canton, Ohio, state that he heartily
approved the principles Of the a. P. A,
and on the following day gave an in
terview to the press denying that he
had met such a committee,
THUS GIVING THE LIE
to the report of the committee, which
was composed of honorable and truth
full gentlemen, and
Whereas, The members of the su-
preme council have, during its session
been bounded and badgered by a large
Mckinley lobby, composed of members
and non-members of the order that
has used the most disreputable black
mailing methods to discredft the adj
visory board and to turn the supreme
council into a Mckinley ratification
meeting, and having signally
failed to clear Mckinley of
htical record. today, after two thirds
of the delegates had started for home,
attempted to take revenge by abolish
ing the national advisory board and
accomplished the same by a vote of 80
to 90.
Resolved, That the delegates, in
condemnation meeting assembled, de-
nounce the unwarranted interference
of the paid Mckinley lobby with the
affairs of the order, and denounce
THE COWARDLY DENIAL
by Mckinley of his endorsement of the
principles of the order given by him to
our commit tee, and
Resolved, That because of his record
as reported by the national advisory
board, we herewith pledge ourselves
to, by our influence and efforts, &C
complish his defeat

Tyee of the Hoonan Indians, a small
tribe Of some hundred members, occu-
pying Chickikoff island, about a hun

In the Niagara Fruit Belt.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, May is
The great Niagara fruit belt has been
severely damaged by the terrific gale
which prevailed all day yesterday. The
wind began early in the morning to
blow strong from the west, and by
noon it was a bowling gale, which tore
the young fruit off in clusters. The
indications from the Blossoms in the
orchards throughout this section point
ed to one of the largest fruit crops in
years. The fruit formed splendidly.
There has been no frost, and fruit
growers were congratulating them
selves on the future when a gale came
along and changed the aspect of af
fairs. Apples, oeers and plums suf-
fered the most. So fierce was the gale
that whole branches were torn from
the trees. Small fruits escaped with
out much damage. 1t is estimated
that half of the apple crop is lost and
nearly as much in pears and plums-
Peaches suffered some, but nothing
near to what the others did.

BRITISH BARK CADzow.
Fears That She Was Wrecked Too
Well Founded.

VANCOUVER, B. c., May 1S.-At
last some definite news has been re-
ceived as to the fate of the British
bark Cadzow Forest, which has so
long been missing and which has been
given up as lost. From news received
yesterday it appears that the fears
that the vessel was wrecked were only
too we'll founded. 1t will be remem-
bered that the vessel was last seen off
the mouth of the Columbia river hav-
ing come up from San Francisco to
load grain at Portland. Owing to the
storm she was blown out to sea and
never heard of again.
The little missionary steamer Glad
Tidings, belonging to the Methodist
church, arrived in port from a cruise
among the Indian missionary stations
last night While at China Hat on
the west coast of Vancouver island.
Captain Alcock reports that some In
dians showed him life buoy bearing
the name Cadzow Forest, which they
had picked up the day before on the
beach. The Indians also said that a
large quantity of wreckage and lum-
Der was strewn along the beach.
