THE COMING MEETING.

The meeting of Senator Morgan
and the Hawailans will be a very
interesting one, and seeing the
material of which the committee,
which has asked the Senator to
address them, is composed, it does
away with the statement that is so
industriously circulated by the
Royalists that the Senator has not
the opportunity Of meeting all
classes of Hawaiian thought. The
signatures attached to the letter are
those of men representing different
parties, and it shows the interest
taken in the annexation question
question and the value Hawaiians
put upon the utterances of Senator
Morgan, when all parties unite in
asking him to give them an address
upon the points named.
Senator Morgan's speech will no
doubt mark an epoch in Hawaiian
history, and when the Royalist
Hawaiians leave that meeting it will
be found that the large bulk of them
will have been turned into good
anneXationists. The Chronicle in
San Francisco urged that such a
meeting should take place, but it
is very much better that il
should take place at the
solicitation ofthe Hav aians, rather
than it should have been engineered
by the strong annexation element
among the foreigners.
The Senator will have a free
hand, and will be listened to with
respect and care. What arguments
the Senator may use cannot now be
predicted, but man speaking upon
so important question, which he
has studied SO long and so care
fully, cannot avoid carrying convic-
ton to the minds of his hearers,
and we can look forward to a crop
of annexationists as the direct re-
suit of the Senator's effort.

The situation between Spain and
the United States is becoming more
strained every day and the prospect
of war between the two countries
seems to be drawing closer, hour
by hour. Spain is in an awful con-
dition and in order to save the
dynasty she may be driven into a
war which will be hopeless. 1t is
all nonsense to talk of what Spain
can do against the United States.
Spain has no money and will be
unable to raise any. the United
States can raise all the money she
needs at moments notice. If
Napoleons phrase that God was
ever on the side of the biggest
batallions" was true in his time, it
may now be changed to the express
sion ION the side of that country
which has the longest purse. The
United States is a peace loving
nation, but once arouse the war
fever and she can show as good
fighting material as there is on earth.
If Spain cannot curb set of deter.
mined revolutionists in Cuba, what
can she hope to do against a nation
of 10, 900, 900 whose armies would
be swiftly equipped and whose ships
would drive anything carrying the
Spanish flag off the seas. What
the end of Spain will be it is diff
cult to foresee, for defeat will mean
state of anarchy for some years to
come, in all probability, and war
with the United States means defeat.

Continual kinking, together
with negligence in allowing
hose to remain attached to the

makes hose crack. The Red

Tariff
VagarieS.

In the United States the Government
allows rebate to the manufacturers
on all agate ware shipped out of the
country. 1t is one of the fine points
i'm the tariff question, and enables the
foreign importer to compete with the
dealers i'm the United States in the sale
of these articles. 1t makes ii possi-
BILE for our customers to buy such
goods from us at lower prices than
they can buy them in San Francisco.
The appended list shows but few of
the articles in this line sold by us,
and where more than one price is Civ
en- it will be understood that the
price is graded with the different sizes
of the articles. In every instance you
will observe that our prices are much
lower than the same goods may be
bought for at the Coast. These prices
are taken from the catalogue of one of
the largest House Furnishing Goods
dealers in San Francisco. 1t is bona
fide. and the goods are identical in
quality as those advertised in the cat
alogue. 1t is hard to believe that the
people of Honolulu-2.10 100 miles from
San Francisco-can buy such goods
for less money.

1t is very seldom that a good
account Of the Molokai settlement
appears in the foreign papers, but
Bishop E. R. Hendrix has furnish
ed the New York Independent with
a very accurate statement of the
Island settlement, and has couch
ed his story in picturesque and
sympathetic language. The Bishop
speaks highly of the good manage
ment OF the place and the care dis
played by the Hawaiian Govern
ment in looking after the patients.
He also speaks of seq regation as
being the only means of fighting
the disease and shows that the
efforts of the Government have been
veIy successful Amid the mass of
misstatements and perversions of
facts, sometimes unintentional,
which are published about the Isl
ands it is refreshing to come across
an account clearly written which
gives a true statement of things as
they are, and is not filled with
undue praise or marred with violent
abuse.

The Outlaw Stood Off His Pursuers For
Several Hours-Was Comfortably

Sumter, S. c. Jan. S.-Simon Cooper,
the negro outlaw, who yesterday murder
ed three members of the Wilson family
and colored servant was lynched near
here today. Cooper was captured by the
sheriff's posse and was being taken, to
Sumter when the mob decided to hang
him.
The deputy sheriff, aided by two men,
resisted the lynchers, but were over

limb of tree and as the man swung up
ward the body was pierced by more than
$50 bullets. One bullet cut the rope and
the corpse fell to the ground, where the
coroner found it some hours later when
he went to hold an inquest.
Cooper was captured about noon in a
cabin five miles from this place. About
2 o'clock this morning Jake Darwin,
colored, went to the house of w. r.
Burkitt, white neighbor, and said that
Cooper was at his house asleep. Burkitt
rode to Sumter with the news and

Cooper was well armed and kept up a
continuous fire. The house is small and
ON hill in the open so that the posse
could not at first come within range with
any degree of safety. Once Cooper came
out of the house with Winchester and
was taking aim when one of the party
fired at him. Cooper at once dropped his
gun and seemed hit. He did not shoot,
but went into the house. About noon an
advance was made and the posse closed
in. Several men posted themselves at
the door, and as the outlaw stepped out
he was seized by the armed men. As he
stood facing the crowd shot was fired
and Cooper dropped with rifle ball
through his cheek. He was not badly
wounded, however, and as he rolled
over he made an attempt to get his hand
to his trousers. In his shirt razor was
found, while beneath his trousers was
loaded revolver. Cooper was drunk, and
after the shot became almost unman-

A search of the cabin revealed Win

until Green Swamp was reached, about
two miles from Sumter. Then the mob
demanded Coopers surrender, the of
ficers were overpowered and the negro
lynched as related.

North Atlantic Squadron Will Under

Washington. Jan. S.-The people of
Charleston, S. c., and Vine City are
promised novel winter entertainment.
Secretary Herbert, after a consultation
with Admiral Bunce, commanding the
North Atlantic squadron, decided to
allow the admiral to undertake the block
ade of Charleston. Heretofore the
squadron maneuvers have not gone be-
yond target practice, fleet evolutions, sig
Mailing and landing parties. Gradually
the exercises hayc been enlarged in
scope as the officers and men gained in
proficiency and became better acquainted
with the qualities of their respective
ships. and now Secretary Herbert has
become satisfied of the practicability of
undertaking a regular blockade. Charles
ton was selected as the objective point
because of the fine winter climate and
the availability of Hampton Roads and
Port Royal as bases for the blockade
fleet. The plan will begin early in
February, the exact date depending upon
the ability of the navy yard people to
get the ships ready. Every ship that
can be supplied with crew will be
used either as blockader or a blockade
runner.

LIVE AMERICAN CATTLE.
Correspondence Concerning Their Entry
Into England.

Washington, Jan. S.-President Cleve-
| land today sent to the house of represen
tatlves letter transmitting report in
response to house question of inquiry
us TO what had been done by the depart
ment OF state to carry out the provision
IN the last agricultural appropriation bill
for negotiations with Great Britain TO
secure the abrogation or modification of
the regulations requiring the slaughter of
cattle from the United States at the port
OF entry. The accompanying report of
the secretary of state and the letters COW
erlng the negotiations are very interest
| ing.
Secretary Oney's report says the cor
respOndence submitted shows that in ac-
| c0rdance with the direction of congress
| the state department, from time to time
since 1880, on representations made to it
| by the secretary of agriculture, has en-
deavored to secure the removal of the
| restrictions placed upon American live
| cattle by the British government Mr..
Olney adds that as these representations
! contained all the information possible by
the department of agriculture that de-
partment did not consider it necessary
to draft any special correspondence I'M
der the provisions of the appropriation
bill. The secretary of state reports also
that the British law makes the slaughter
ut the port of entry permanent after
January l, 1897.
The letters begin with those of Mr.
Blaine to the United States minister at
London, Mr.. Lincoln, urging that the re-
strictions against American cattle should
be modified. Mr.. Lincoln's interviews
with Lord Salisbury are set forth at
length. The letters of Secretary Rusk,
John w. Foster, Morton and Olney carry
the correspondence down to the present
time and show the constant efforts made
by them and the United States represent
tatives in London, Mr.. Bayard, Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr.. White the latter be-
ing in charged to secure modification Of
the English laws. The correspondence
brings out no substantial new phases to
those known pending the negotiations
and shows that British restrictions con-
tinue because of the fears expressed by
British officials that infection may result
from a free introduction of American cat
tie.
