Boiler of II Steam Launch of the Bat

BOSTON, Oct. 21.-The boiler of one of the
steam launches of the battle ship Texas
blew up while it was alongside of the vessel,
and number of men, including two officers
and a surgeon, were injured, none fatally.
The explosion occurred just as the launch
reached the side of the ship, having towed
h1wn the ships boats. each full of men, who
we're engaged in the naval parade
On the launch at the time were thirty-five
men. including Lieutenant Commander Dele
Ganty Lieutenant Bristol, Ensign Wad-
hams and Dr. w. r. Dubose, the ships sur
geon. The smokestack, the top OF the boiler
and the part of the canopy over the boiler
were blown into the air, and what was left
OF the launch caught fire from the sheet of
fame that followed the bursting of the
boiler, but the fire had little to burn. The
men in the pit with the boiler-John Phillips,
an oiler, and John Fisher, a coal passer-
were thrown violently against the wooden
partition. Fisher was badly injured in
ternally. Phillips escaped with severe bruis-
es. The coxswain. Thomas Sullivan, was
thrown against the side of the launch, but
only bruised, and the sailor with him was
completely blackened by SCOT, but unhurt.
DIR. Dubose had two front teeth knocked out.
Lieutenant Deehanty and Ensign Wadhams

and burned. Otherwise they We're not in

The judges took the race away from NAL

The race was practically two-horse af-
fair as Malvolio and Dr. Black were five
lengths in front of the field from the half
mile. When the pair turned into the stretch
both Jockeys made for the dry patch near
the outer rail and then came the exciting
part of the contest. Both boys drew their
whips, and 1t was battle until within
a few yards of the wire. Here Scherrer
let go of Malvolio's head, causing the horse
TO swerve and carry DR.. Black with him.
The judges presumed that this was inten-
tional on the part of Scherrer and gave
their decision in favor of DR.. Black.

OPPOSED TO ANNEXATION.
Hawaiian ROyaIists VIII Send Com
missioners to Washington.

HONOLULU. Oct. IA. via San Francisco,
Oct 21.-It was definitely decided yesterday
among the Hawaiians opposing annexation
that commission of five men should be
sent TO Washington to make determined
fight against the ratification of the annexa-
ton treaty. At least three Hawaiian So
cieties will give their support to the move
ment 1t is generally understood that j.
o. Carter, white man, will head the COM
mission.
A prominent citizen who has recently re-
turned from Germany states that the Ha-
waiian annexation question is receiving
some consideration among the German peo-
pie number of prominent Germans ex-
pressed themselves in favor of the amalga-
nation of the two republics. In that event
they think that Germany should be al
lowed to take Samoa without interference
on the part of the United States. This they
deem simple matter of fairness and JUS
tice. The Americans have the greatest
amount of capital invested in the Hawaiian
Islands and the country is thoroughly
Americanized. In Samoa, they argued, the
Germans occupy the same position The
bulk of the money invested there had come
from Germany, and therefore Germany had
as much right to absorb Samoa as Uncle
Sam had TO take in Hawaii.

Keep the wells in repair for drinking water?
There is no use in anybody acting the way
our town officials are. doing. Their conduct
is simply inexcusable. They claim to be
holding back because the wells belong to
the county and because the county should
buy the troughs and the town furnish the
among themselves to suit themselves If
the county will not do anything the Town
Board should, and not wait till everybody
is disguised with their carelessness. The
town has got straight Democratic corps of
ofticlals. Doubtless the Democratic bosses
are proud of them. They usually are, and
the way they work to elect them would midi
cate that they thought the town would go
to the dogs If a Republican board should
be eleced once in a while. But 1t looks more
like they hustle for private snaps than for
the good of the town. This is Saturday
