Tho Truth Ms 10 Hawaii.

FROM me Morning OrrgOnidn,
The annexation OF Hawaii during the Mckinney Al.
m'nIStration Is a matter Of course. We cannot play
the dog In tho msngcr much longer. We must take
the Islands or let sonc other nation take them. Thi,
Is not seriously proposed by any American. II Is
100 late To discuss the objections Ia annexation which
were presented when there seemed u possibility that
the islands might maintain an Independent existence.
Thes" objections have no standing before the alter,
native OF seeing the islands pass under the dominion
OF a European or Aslatlc power. Independence OF
the islands Is impossible. II they ac not American.
they VIII become British. German. or Japanese. This
\ not to be thought Of.

MAYFlELD OUT OF THE FIGHT.
KEEPS HIS PROMISE TO MLACRIN

Says He Is Now Convinced That re
Did the senator Great Injustice in
Accusing Him of Organizing the
PopuIist Party in south Carolina.
Ex-GOv. Evans Says the Statement
Puts ConEresSman strait in a Bad
Light.
YorkvIe, S. c.. Aug. 2.-The senate
rial campaign meeting here to-day was
quite dramatic. Candidate Mayhed
made good his offer that if he could not
prove Senator McLaurin had tried to Or
game the populist party in South Caro-
lima he would withdraw. He said he was
now convinced from proof Senator Nc
Laurin had given him that Senator Nc
Laurin largely prevented populist organi-
cation in South Carolina He said he
had done Senator McLaurin an injustice
and would withdraw from the race.
Senator McLaurin shook his hand and
thanked him, amid great applause.
Ex-Gov. Evans said Senator McLaurln
had invited him to go into the populist
party with him, and Mr. Mayfields ac-
ceptance Of Senator McLaurin's state
ment put Congressman Strait in a false
light, he having said Senator McLaurin
made overtures to him.
Mr.. Mayfeld said he believed Senator
McLaurin had worked against the state
organization.
During Senator McLaurin's speech Con-
gresham Strait gave his version and
many insisted on his sitting down. Senator
McLaurin said it was bad enough to be
prosecuted by three and Congressman
Strait had no business intermeddling.
Senator McLaurin spoke with such We
hemence that he tainted on concluding He
was taken TO his hotel and is doing well
but the doctors insist on his resting for a
few days.
Messrs. Evans and McLaurin showed
much feeling toward each other.
Col. Irby was unable to attend the meet

This is just the bicycle that the ladies
want. 1t is five to ten pounds lighter
than any other bicycle made, Weighing
just twenty pounds, actual weight on the
scales.
Weigh your ladies' wheels and see how
heavy they are. 1t will surprise you to
find out you are riding an ice wagon.
We will sell this Ladies' Heating wheel.
with bell and lantern, 1897 model, for s65
on time or with liberal discount for
cash. Call and price them.
A lady who buys the 1897 Heating for
her mount is certainly a fortunate per-
son. Call and let US show you this splen-
did Wheel with new features and i'm
provements.
An Explanation.
The 800 Heating is precisely the same
model and material as the wheel we sell
at $65-the only difference is that they
have no double roller chain and have out.
side reinforcements. Otherwise the Keat-
ing we sell at $65 is the same as the 500
Heating and is really practically as good
as ANY BICYCLE at 500 in America.

TRIAL TAKES A QUEER TURN
ATLANTAS POLICE DEPARTMENT
PUT on THE DEFENSIVE.

The Wife and Stepdaughter of the
Man Killed by Officer BankstOn to
BE Brought Back to the city From
Chattanooga to Refute the Charge
That the Police Hustled Them Cuf
of Town to Get Rid of Them "s
Witnesses.
Atlanta. Ca. Aug 12.-The preliminary
trial of Policeman Bankston, which has
been in progress for several days, took a
peculiar turn to-day. Bankston is the BIZ
cycle officer who shot and killed Charles
WEIGH. whom he was endeavoring to ar
rest for wife beating two weeks ago. lie
claimed that he acted in self-defense, and
the coroner's jury exonerated him.
The mother Of the man, however de-
clared that her son had been wantonly
killed. and she had a warrant issued for
the officer. charging murder. 1t was
charged that WEIGH was running away
from the policeman when he was shot.
and two wounds on the body gave some
color to this charge, although the coroner
who examined the corpse attached no
sucn significance TO the wounds.
Upon the completion of the coroner's in
vestigation the wife and step daughter
of the dead man left hurredly for Chat
tanooga. Their trunks were hauled to
the depot in the police patrol wagon, and
this gave rise to the report that the po-
lice who sympathized with their brother
officer, were getting the two women out
OF the way, SO that they might not be
here to testify.
These and other similar reports have
been in circulation during the progress
of the trial, which would have come TO
a close to-day but for the publication OF
an editorial in the Evening Commercial
Yesterday specifically accusing the police
department and city officials with having
deliberately undertaken to shield
Bankston by spiriting away wit
nesses and suppressing testimony. All
the evidence was in and argument begun
when this charge appeared. II placed the
city attorneys and police department In
such a tight place at this advanced stage
of the trial that they asked for a contin-
nance in order that the wife and step
daughter might be brought from Chatta-
nooga. and also that the body Of WEIGH
might be exhumed and examined by ply
sicians.
A board of physicians went to Westview
cemetery this afternoon and made the ex-
animation and will report the result OF
their work to the court tomorrow. If it
should develop that there is truth in the
charges the case win assume sensational
proportions.
