FIRST GOVERNOR
President Mckinley Said to be
Considering Subject.
REPORTED Interview ON IT
Admiral Beardslee Advis.
es Annexation.
Senator Lodge Looks Upon An
nexation as Already Practic-
ally Accomplished.

WASHINGTON, October 3.-That
the President is very confident that
Hawaii will be annexed this winter
was well illustrated at an interview
just had with him by Senator Burrows
of Michigan. 1t also appears that the
President has it in mind to name an
American as Territorial Governor.
At this interview Senator Burrows
suggested ex-Congressman Mark S.
Brewer of his State as the first Terri
torial Governor of the Islands. The
suggestion is said by the Senator to
have been most favorably received.
The President has long known Brewer,
and has a high appreciation of his
executive ability and conservatism,
both very important in such place as
that of the first Governor of the new
Territory.
The President and Brewer were Con-
gressional associates for eight years.
Brewer is about 55 years old. He was
Arthur's Consul-General to Berlin, and
was Mckinley delegate-at-large to
the st. Louis convention of last year.
Admiral George B. Beardslee, who
was in command of the Philadelphia
in Honolulu for several months this
year, has an interview in the Post on
Japan and Hawaii. He says: Nobody
who is interested in Hawaii need be
afraid that Japan meditates doing the
corsair act. Japan is no brigand among
nations, and her only object in sending
her warships to Hawaii was to pro-
tect Japanese citizens there in case a
revolution did break out.
But it wasn't amiss that the flag
of the United States should be there
at the same time, and it got all due
respect, too, from the Japanese mem
ofwar, their Minister and legal repre-
sentatives. There are 10000 of the lit
tie people in the Islands, and, of
course, their country wants to see that
they get protection, which is all right,
and which is another thing from any
policy on the part of japan to commit
seizure Of the country, which would
be all wrong. Japan knows the differ
ence as well as we do, and her salu-
tation of the American flag in Hawai-
ian waters signifies that she knows the
position of this country full we'll.
"The arguments for annexation, so
far as it affects the people over there,
are all affirmative. It would be a
splendid thing for them In looking
the matter over, as l have, l can see
the force of objections that the ad-
vantage will be all on one side; that
it would be great boon to the ISL
anders, but bane to the United
States. In summing up, however, my
opinion is that the acquisition of the
country is desirable from our stand
point 1t would be better for us to take
it than leave it alone'

There are many points which, to

purchaser to attend to.

o'clock last night.
Chang Pun and S. Kaiwi were sta
toned to watch the district, near Aala
street. The electric lights were shin
ing brightly and nothing exciting had
occurred on the deserted streets until
a little after midnight, when a surrey
in which two men were seated was
driven rapidly down King street from
the direction of Palama.
Just below Aala street the surrey
walk, opposite the poi shop. One of
the men jumped out with bag in his
hand and the surrey was drive back in
the direction from which it came. The
two officers rushed towards the man.
His hand went instantly to his hip
and he attempted to raise his revolver.
Chang Pun was too quick for him. The
officer is a crack shot and is good for
49 at 80 yards. He fired two shots at
the man with the opium. One struck
him in the wrist, the second shattered
the bone above the left ankle, and the
man sank to the ground.
He was taken to the Police Station
and then to the HOSPITAL. The leg is
badly broken and the surgeon says it
must be amputated. The shot in the
wrist is an ordinary bullet wound and
is expected to heal in due time. The
man refused to. give his name or the
name Of the vessel to which he be-
longs. Detective Kaapa is pretty GER
tain, however, that he is an Oiler Or a
stoker from the Australia.
The "a tins of opium are No. Hong
kong. It was sewed up in canvas
bag which had been oiled and painted
The tins were dry but the outside OF
the bag was wet and looked as if it
had been in the water or hung over
the side of a vessel. The revolver was
short Colts, five shot None of the
cartridges had been fired.
BY the time the officers had secured
their man the surrey and the other
man had disappeared. This morning
the dock officers, who are familiar with
all the men on the vessels will be taken
to the Hospital to identify the un-
known man, if possible.
Just before going to press it was
learned that the man was a new oiler
on the Australia whose name was not
known by one of his shipmates who
went to the Hospital The surgeon
says it may be possible to savesthe leg
without amputation.
