he was deeply interested in everything
pertaining to that time.
His majesty was conducted into the com.
mittee-room of the House of Lords. He
was impressed by the famous canvas there
in, representing Moses descen ding from
Mount Sinai bearing the tables of the

Nothing remarkable has happened in con-
reotion with the strike during the past
twenty four hours, as far as our dispatches
Indicate. Two of De AImitt's mines in
the Pittslurg district practically are shut
down. In West Virginia the chances for a
general suspension appear 60 be growing
smaller, aud the western Kentucky mines
are still producing. Under these conditions
the opinion is justified that either the rail-
way workers will have to be induced to
refuse to handle the output OF those regions
or the strike will collapse. Officials of
the mine workers organization talk con-
sidcntly of some movement which VIII
strengthen their position, but what may
be intended is problematical. II does not
kok today as II the railway men would
adopt any measure as extreme as tie-up,
bot such a thing certainly is among the posi-
btlities.

Perry and Miss Emma White, living ten
miles south of here have been engaged man y
months ago against the wishes of the young
woman's parents. The doctor decided to
marry the young woman, who was willing,
and they arranged for a meeting "a

with two hikes, and on these he and his in
tended bride started toward the city.
Soon after they had started they were
surprised to bear the report of revolver
behind them Looking back they saw
Ernma's father on bike In pursuit They
then increased their speed, and the old man
did the same
He fired another shot from his revolver
which punctured the tire of the girls
wheel, which was then aban doned, the
young woman being taken on the doctors
wheel. They soon distanced the irate
parent, and were ma rried long before he
arrived in town.

gagged him ard then hung him to a nail

While he was thus suspended they ap-
piled lighted matches TO the soles Of his

ture all night If he did not confess the theft
and tell wher e the money was hidden

released him. Meanwhile neighbor, who
had discovered what was going on, called
Policemen Andrew KosZar and Joseph

The officers finally escaped, and. the ac-
cused men W ere taken into custody by a

Paranoia IS what appears to be the
matter with that murderer on trial at
Atlanta. 1t is an unpleasant disease to
have, and In future people who are
euphemiStic can say that neh are lynched
in the South on account of paranoia; but
the peculiar thiLg about it in this II ur-
,lerer's case is that he had it sd very
tad that instead of being lynched he is
likely TO lie adIudged insane. Logic :s

logic Of this proceeding will be kept for

Ia Madrid the impression prevails that
our minister will propose to Spain that
Cuba be given independence upon the pay
rnent OF an indemnity. There is much
anxiety as to the shape in which the prop
osition may lie presented. Something in
the way OF an ult,matum is feared, but
probably without just grounds. IL Mr..
Mckinley intends TO proceed TO extremi-
ties, Tie ultimatum naturally would come
a little later in due course of diplomatic
correspondence and, as likely as not,
would he postponed until just before the
Ohio election. If the President will act
at all AMI secure freedom for a brave peo-
pie, without fastening upon them a hope
less load of debt, perhaps he ought 10 he
welcome to whatever advantage his &C
ton may bring his party. The main point
at issue is Cutan independence under the
protection of tie United States. If Mr.
Mckinley can assure that, many things
may be forgiven him.

There are strong indications that Senator
Morgan is right in according TO MIR. McKin-
ley d fixed determination TO carry out the
Hawaiian annexation project. IL is al
legged that, on August 20, Minister sewall
VIII hoist the Stars and Stripes over the
government buildings in Honolulu, and de-
clare protcctorate. We sincerely hope
that the report ma y be true. That would be
q direct and simple way To settle all doubt
as 10 American intentions in the premises.
We have gene too fan in this matter to halt
now. Hawaii should not be left TO the
dangers of internal disorder or external
aggression during the long wait which
must ensre before annexation can become
an accomplished fact. Once cur flag has
been raised over that national palace, the
strain OF the present situation VIII be re-
Beved. The President may rest assured
that the whole nation will he with him in
support Of such action.
