NOT A NEW THING.
The Subject of Annexing Has Free
quentIy Been Considered by Us.

1t is an interesting fact, writes E. j.
Gibson! in the Philadelphia Press, that
an annexation treaty was partially
negotiated with Hawaii in 1854, be-
tween d. L. Gregg, representing the
United States. and r. c. Willie, repre-
senting the Hawaiian King Kamcham-
cha. The subject was first seriously
considered in 1851. At that time France
was menacing the existence Of the
Hawaiian government and had fleet
anchored at Honolulu.
1t was under these circumstances
that the king and the privy council
We're driven to seek protection from
the United States. A proclamation
was issued March 10, 1851, by the
Hawaiian king, placing the islands I'M
der the protection of the United
States.
On the next day a conditional deed
of concession of the kingdom to the
United States was drawn up, signed
and delivered in sealed envelope to
Hon. L. Severance. the commissioner
of the United States, by two of the
kings ministers.
This envelope was to be opened and
to- be acted upon only in case of an
be the raising of the flag of the United
States above that of Hawaii over the
fort. In that case the sovereignty of
the islands was to be ceded to the
United States.
By some means the British consul
general learned what had been done,
and informed the French representa-
tive, who thereupon withdrew the most

a settlement with the Hawaiian king.
WEBSTER BLOCKED FRANCE.
Later, France made further de-
mands, and the Hawaiian king made
an appeal to the president of the Unit
ed States, and Daniel Webster, then
secretary of state, made strong rep
reservations to the French government
on the subject, but directed Mr.. Sever
ance, the United States commissioner,
to return to the Hawaiian government
the deed of cession which had been
placed with him for safekeeping.
The Hawaiian Legislature empowered
the king to place the kingdom under

necessary, ito shield 1t from insult and
oppression" In the following year the
king was authorized to ALLEVIATE his
kingdom, "if Indispensable to free 1t
from the insult and oppression of any
foreign power"
Nothing further was done until talk
of annexation to the United States was
revived in 1853, and a memorial was
presented to the king in favor of an
neXation. The memorial created a good
deal of excitement among the British
and French residents and the repre-
sentatives of those two governments
protested to the king against annexa-
tion.
The feeling in favor of annexation
grew stronger Notwithstanding the op-
position of the missionaries. The king
strongly favored annexation, because

ers, had once been dethroned by Brit
ish naval force, and had repeatedly
been compelled to make humlliating
concessions at the canon's mouth and
had other experiences of that charac-
ter.
DEFINITE ACTION IN 1854.
The nigh chiefs agreed with him, and
in February, 1854, the matter took def
mite shape and the king began negotia-
tions for annexation.
Mr.. Gregg, the American representa-
tive, entered into the negotiations in
behalf of the United States, and he
was fully authorized by his home gov
ernment to draft a treaty. One was
finally drawn up, but the British rep
resentative protested against 1t, and
there was a long delay
France Joined with Great Britain in
working against the treaty, but at last
every obstacle was overcome when
King Kamehameha suddenly took sick
and died within week, leaving the
treaty unsigned.
That ended the first annexation
treaty, which was negotiated as long
ago as 1854 The second one was ne
gotiated and signed under the Harrison
administration in 1898, but was not act
ed on by the senate, and, when Mr..
Cleveland became president he with
drew the treaty under circumstances
that are now well known.

IN BED THREE YEARS.
A Father Who Killed His Son Said to
BE FooIing the Court.

A st. Charles, ILL.,, special to the
Chicago Journal says: A tragedy that
occurred more than three years ago in
this quiet township has a very strange
sequel. On Jan. 6, 1884, Clark Burr,
farmer Of Spring Brook, shot and killed
his son Charles.
The Burrs were among the foremost
people. The killing was done in the
heat of the moment. Charles was
eighteen years of age. The quarrel
was over a trivial affair.
The father had forbidden another son,
Harry, from going to Elgin to take
more lessons on the violin. He had
gone on the day of the tragedy. Charles
and his father discussed the matter,
and Charles declared Harry could take
care of himself. The father retorted
that he wanted no impudence, and the
boy said he also could look out for
himself The two were at the table.
The father held in his hand a table
knife. He ordered his son to leave the
house. Charles stepped to an adjoin-
ing room and got a revolver. The elder
Burr procured a shotgun from the
kitchen wall. They re-entered the din
ing room. Burr again ordered his son
to depart. The boy refused. Then the
father shot
There were two witnesses, Rich Rock
man, a farmland, and Maude Burr, 8
years old, niece of Clark Burr The
mother was in the adjoining room. She
returned in time to catch in her arms
her murdered boy.
The old mamie is not very old,
either, just past 55-has never been
tried. His condition Is the strangest
part of the affair. He seemed to go all
to pieces. There was a complete col
lapse. He took to his bed. On the cor
oner's finding 1t manslaughter he was
held in $4,000 bonds. For months a
deputy sheriff slept near him. He was
considered at the point of death. A look
of utter despair was on his face. He
appeared like a man Of so. He had
lived all his life in section Z, ST. Charles
township. He would die there, they
said. Let him alone.
For months the inquiry was "How
is Clark Burr? Will he ever be tried?"
SO sure were all that he never would
live to be tried that the deputy sher-
iff was dismissed, and the only vigil
was tnat kept by his friends, who
waited for death.
But according to late reports there
may be a trial. Clark Burr's bonds
men may take more interest in the
case.
Burr's condition is a mystery. He has
improved. He has gained in flesh. An
Elgin man who was at his home re-
Gently to buy sows says Burr is as
bright as a dollar. physically" said a
farmer who lives mile or two from
Burr's, she is comparatively well"
Some say he remains in bed more
than is necessary, and insinuate that
at night he attends to business that
most men do in daylight.
But the question that agitates the
minds of many is: "Will Burr be tried,
and when?"

ONE COMPosITOR's WORK.
A Calculation of the Amount of Type
Set in a Lifetime.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Sixty-five years ago Hiram Lukens
entered the Intellgencer Office at
Doylestown to learn printing, and he
is there yet, setting type as fast as
anybody around the place. His record
of continuous service with one estab-
lishment is probably unequaled in the
business. Several times the manage
ment has changed hands, but he has
never left his case. Three sets of floor
boards have worn away under his feet
in that long time, and 1870 pairs of
thick-so boots have been put on the
retired list. For over 19,500 working
days his eyes have been trained on the
type, but still his vision is unimpaired,
and he handles the smallest size with
ease.
1t is fair to estimate that he has set
and distributed an average of 5000
ems of type a day, or a total in sixty
five years of 1560O0,0OO ems. This is
equal to 2s,SSS columns of common type
enough for all the reading matter in
the Record for over a year and a half.
Besides this, Mr.. Lukens has broken
in hundreds of apprentices in his long
career at the case.

ARE LOSING THEIR POSITIONS.
Men Who Are Not Naturalized Are
Not Wantpd.

There are number of unnaturalized
West Side men who are very nervous
just now. They fear they will lose their
positions unless they get naturalization
papers and as court will not grant any
such papers until September they are
not at all pleased with the outlook.
The companies and individuals en-
ploying aliens dislike the work attach
ed to keeping an account of the three
cents a day which must be deducted
from the wages of each alien and are
already beginning to get rid of them.
When once these men find themselves
out of work 1t is almost impossible for
them to get a position elsewhere and
the situation for them really begins to
grow serious.
