Of their strongest arguments in favor
Of the annexation of Hawaii It is too
bad that, just when they had worked
up beautiful case about the intention
of Japan to gobble up the Sandwich
islands, they should be exposed to
derision in this merciless fashion. The
inmost details Of the nefarious plot OF
Japan to take possession Of these
islands have been laid before the gull
lible American public daily for some
weeks past. There has been bitter
feeling and an open dispute between
the japanese and the Hawaiian gov
errments for some time past on several
points, but especially on the restrictions
Which the Dole government has placed

in the office Of the G o b e, with a few
hundred to spare.
The greatest gains yesterday were
made by the young women, who made
marked advances. While Schuneman
& Evans representative, Miss Harriet
Finn, still holds the lead, with Miss
Theresa Guthunz, of Habighorsts, sec
ond, Miss Birdie Benner of the Golden
Rule, went from fourth place to third
by the addition of over 5000 votes to
her count, while the Omaha's favorlte,
Miss Maud Gould, who was third yes
terday morning, only gained something
over 1000 yesterday. The race be-
tween these two young women is close
and interesting.
The Great Northern hustler, George
J. DAM. retains the lead among the
men, although Manufacturer Bros rep
resentative, Louis K. Newman, gained
a few hundred on him yesterday, and
is a close second. The Northern Pa
cific is keeping Henry A. Ekman third
by good margin over Ned Cummings,
OF the Milton dairy, who is his near
est competitor. John T. Kelly, OF
Michaud's, and Sam Bryant,of Yerxa's,
also made small gains yesterday.
AS this is the last day on which the
coupons will each be worth three votes
a marked increase in the votes cast
is looked for today, and it will not
be surprising if $4,000 more votes are
added to the lists before the tables
are made up for tomorrow morning.
A number of the contestants have
been holding their forces in reserve
for the last of the week. and they
propose to get in early this morning.
Next week the coupons will be worth
two votes each. and the week follow
ing that but one vote each. 1t is &C
cordingly desired by the higher con-
testants who are not leaders to get
as close to the leaders as possible be-
fore the cut in the value of the cou-
pons begins, as thereafter the climbing
will be more difficult, and any lead
harder to overcome. The friends Of

ranging for large blocks of votes to
be sent in from neighboring cities and
towns where they are known, and it
is proposed to make this a grand rail-
lying day.

plotters, whose objective point is an
other rotten borough added to the
Union, and two more sugar trust sem
ators. constructed a fairy tale of Won
derful beauty and verisimiitude. Japan
was merely seeking to pick a quarrel
take possession before we asserted our
claim. Japans warships were to have
been in the harbor Of Honolulu weeks
age, ready to land their forces and
capture the town. A little later the
lingo fakirs informed us Of a perfect
ly dfabolical scheme that was under
way. Some 1900 lively japanese, who
had been trained to feats of arms for
this especial purpose, were to be snug
gled into Hawaii under the guise of
immigrants; and, once landed, they
were to get together on that sacred
soil and overthrow the Dole govern
ment by force, exactly as the native
government was overthrown by the
same number of Americans, with the
advice and assistance of President Har-
rlscn's representative there. All these
imaginings were intended to work up
a strong anti-Japanese feeling in the
United States, and still stronger de-
mand that annexation be consummat-
ed without delay. before avaricious
Japan could anticipate u.s. And now
the kettle Is tipped over and all this
hard pen work made worthless by the
brief announcement that Japan has ac-
copied the proposition Of the Hawaiian
government to submit the differences
between the two to arbitration

Hawaii and even the prevention of a

United States over the meager Hawaii

Tor this blighting of his hopes. How
now are the weary months before the
senate can act on the annexation
treaty to be filled in, and with what
bugaboo shall the sugar crowd try
now to alright the American people ?
The pretense that England desires and
intends to- have Hawaii is played
out. The pretense that Japan wants
1t and is ready to fight for it is made
simply ridiculous by the arbitration
agreement. We suggest to the embar-
raised jingoes that they start a new
crusade, on the assumption, more diff
ficult to disprove than those upon
which they have originally relied, that
