JOHN w. FOSTER SAYS
Annexation of The Hawaiian Islands 1
Duty.

Duty.
CHICAGO, Nov. 3O-John w. Foster
ex-secretary of state, and Mrs. Foster
arrived in Chicago yesterday on the
way TO their home in Washington
from Honolulu. They spent little
more than two weeks on the islands,
and Mr. Fosters observations con-
firmed the belief which he promul-
gated as premier of President Harri-
sons cabinet, that annexation by the
United States is the duty of this gov
ernment.
The present Hawaiian admlnistra-
tion is waiting for the inauguration of
President Mckinley to make another
effort to have the islands annexed, "
said Mr.. Foster. THE constitution
under which the people of the islands
arc living at present has annexation
as one of the main things to be striven
for.
THE islands were never in a more
prosperous condition than at present.
They are prospering in a business way,
because the last sugar crop was an ex-
ceptionally good one, and the admin
istration of President Dole is the best
that the people ever had.
1T is recognized that the ultimate
fate Of the islands, IL they are not an
nexed by the United States, will be
annexation by some other of the
great powers. 1t will be impossible
for the islanders to govern themselves
successfully for any great length of
time oy the reason of the clash be-
tween the different elements, republi-
cans and royallsts. and natives and
foreigners. One thing is settled, and
that is that the queen will never rule
again or the monarchy be restored.
So it remains for the United States to
act without delay or some other ma
tion will assume power in the Ha-
waiiaO islands

Many Accidents to Bicyclists--A
Child Bitten by a Dog.

There is scarcely day when one or
more accidents do not occur in front o.
the residences of the people who have
sidewalks on Pawtucket avenue TO keep
the bicyclists from riding on the side
walks. The persons who have done this
could have gone about the matter in q
less dangerous and as effectual manner
as they have done and not have endan-
gcred the property of the wheelmen or
their lives and limbs as they have now
done by digging the bitches.
Yesterday wheelmaa on the way to
Crescent Park met with a very bad acci-
dent in which his wheel wac damaged so
badly that il can never be repaired
while the rider received a number of
cuts and bruises which will probably lay
him up for a short time. The cause of
the accident was that as he was riding
along two teams and an electric car ar
rived opposite the place at the same time
and as he was going at a high rate of
speed and could not stop soon enough ne
was forced to take 10 the sidewalk,
where bitches have been dug to keep of
bicyciists and his machine striking one
of these caused the downfall OF bike and
rider.
Saturday Frank Sampson OF Warren,
while on the way to the bicycle races
colided with Edward McGill of Centre
