ported today, but in twenty-fOur hours
ending last night, there had been ten
prostratiOns.

TOTALLY DARK.
Every Electric Light in the City Out Last
Night.

Every Electric Light in the City Out Last
Night.
The Brunswick Darkness and
Drought Company played another OF
its tricks on the patient public last
night. At a little after 8 o'clock every
electric light iD the city. arc and in
caDdescent, was extinguished. The
darkness must have been premedi-
tated, for just before the electric
lights went out the company's men
went around and lighted the few gas
lamps that are scattered about the
city.
This is the second occurrence of the
kind within a month. The people,
absolutely at the mercy of the corpor-
alton, have to grin and bear it. Sub
scrlbers to the incandescent system
find it necessary to keep their oil
lamps always in readiness, and sup
ply of Kerosene always on hand. 1t is
probable that many more failures of
the electricity will result IN general
return to the original means of Illu-
mination.
The lights were still out at THE
TINES press hour.

The Laureate's Latest.

MrAIfred Austin. England's poet lau-
reate. has endured so much chatting since
he assumed that delicate office that he
probably suffers comparatively little now
from the jibes and jeers OF his critics.
But his latest official effusion. the ode to
the queen on the occasion Of her jubilee
celebration is calculated to bring forth
more than the usual storm Of unkind COM
nent. Literary judges will doubtless find
far more in it to condemn than to praise,
for ii is trivial to the point of imbecility.
1t j.ngles prettily enough. in places. but
even its Jingle halts now and then to per-
nit the Introduction of crippled lire that
defies all scanning. But 1t is TO be renem-
bered that Mr.. Austin Is very poorly paid
for his work. His salary today is only
about S135 year. the American equivalent
of f2I. Even the famous tierce of canary
is no longer a part 'of the emoluments of
this difficult position England will have
TO put up with poor poetry if she persists
In selecting her laureate from among the
minor poets and declines to attach a re-
spectacle salary to the Office or to abolish
altogether the humiliating pittance now
granted

Manual Training Schools.

Those Congressman who are disposed to
scott at the work done in the local public
schools in the line of practical manual
training should pay visit to the exhibit
of the work of pupils in this department
of the public instruction now open here.
Washington has gone ahead finely along
this line of development and yet the pres
ent advanced stage has sprung from some
surprisingly small beginnings. 1t is now
proposed to erect a well equipped building
devoted exclusively to manual training, and
for this purpose the trustees and the Com
missioners have asked Congress for an
appropriation of $2OO,OOO. This item has
been regularly stricken from the estimates,
however. and it would seem as though the
opportunity had now come to do mission
airy work among the congressional doubters.
Chicago is proud of ner great industrial
public school, which has proved a boon
to the boys and girls of that city, who
have thus been enabled to detect their own
fitness for this trade or that. and have been
well grounded IN wage-earning work. The
local experience has up to the present been
along somewhat experimental lines, but
in ten years enough has been done and
learned by the authorities to fix the belief
that here is a splendid field for just such a
practical institution as that in Chicago
and some other cities. The tendency is
distinctly toward technical training, even
the tendency in ali lines of business Is
toward specialization. The Districts schools
are noted for their good work, and 1t is
time now that they should be supplemented
by enc Of the most completely equipped
training schools for both sexes that the
country affords.

The protest against the annexation Of
Hawaii just filed with Secretary Sherman
by Mrs. Lydia Dominis. formerly queen Of
Hawaii. will probably be regarded as a
mere exhibit In the docket of the case,
q sort of literary curiosity with the least
pos ;ible bearing on the ultimate disposition
of the treaty. Mrs. Dominis is in no po-
sition to enter the case in protest against
action Her protest is an act of arrogance
She stands today as having voluntarily re-
lirquished all rights that she once DOS
sessed to the Hawaiian throne. her act OF
abdication dated January "A. 1885, standing
on the records a full, final and free sur
render OF all her crown rights. To be sure
she has since. through her Grand Cham
berlain. Capt. Julius Palmer, abjured this
abdication. but the abjuration is not of
record. is not official and Is indefensible In
Its own terms. Two grounds were ad-
vanced by Captain Palmer In speaking for
Mrs Dominis last February in attempting
to recall the abdication. He asserted first
that the act of ad)dication was obtained
through duress and second that 1t was

secretary She-man's report to the Pres
ldent. and the Presidents message to Con-
grSss. are both thoroughly illuminating and
satisfactory on the subject of the annexa-
ton OF the Hawaiian islands. They give
not only the conditions out of which the
treaty just sigred has Immediately grown,
lut they trace with accuracy and thor
cughness the relations between the two
countries which fer years have in their
proper anal. sis foreshadowed precisely
what has now taken place. 1t Is anything
hut 4 land-grabbing enterprise. 1t is any
thing but a sudden turn of the wheel of
fortune pointing out a prize of very great
value to the United States. 1t Is the honor
able consuu:mation of something that has
long been in contemplation by advanced
sentiment in both countries. and that all
the leading powers of the earth have been
expecting and now gracefully acquiesce in.
For more than half century, indeed, in
telligent men In any quarter giving atten-
ton to the map have been accustomed TO
put their finger on Hawaii and designate it
as likely to become American territory.
Mr.. Sherman goes into very instructive
details as to why. when the corrupt and
Incompetent monarchy had been over
thrown. and the character and intelligence
in the islands had set up a government in
its place. the necessity should at once have
been recognized of turning to the United
States for absorption into the system of
this Union. Attachment was here. inter-
osts were here. everything was here cal
culated to insure a permanent support of
what the revolution had achieved for civil.
ization and good government. And this in
itself begot an obligation on the part of
this government to respond to the call. and
give a frGternal and supporting hand to
these who. if long unaded. might not be
able to support themselves in what they
had attained by one heroic achievement.

General Stewart L. Woodford whom the
President has selected for the Spanish mis-
sion. is a man of mature years, of large
experience in public affairs. and may be
expected to fill the post with success and
entire acceptability. He has filed offices
eff honor at home, and was seriously can
vassed for a portfolio in Mr.. McKinley's
cabinet. He has several times been men
toned for Vice President. and in 1850 his
name was brought forward before that of
General Arthur for second place the
ticket with General Garfield His defeat
in that contest was attributed TO the in
fluence of Mr.. Conkling, who opposed the
taking of any New York man. but gave
way at last in favor of the one with whom
his personal relations were the most in
innate. Judged therefore. whether by age,
experience or good standing at home, and
especially by all three qualities. General
Woodford at Madrid ought fully to meet
the requirements of the Office at this i'm
portant time.
But. at last. interest attaches more to
the instructions the new minister will re-
ceive than to his OWN personality That he
will receive instructions of weight and
moment is confidently expected. The Presi-
dents course up 10 this time has been
accepted as giving assurance of a firm
and definite policy with regard TO Cuba.
He has manifested a seemly and lively
curiosity about conditions in the island.
and his information, derived from sources
OF his own choosing. is reasonably full. He
knows that war is in progress there, that
Spain. without the drawn sword and the
lighted torch. would not exert the slightest
influence. and that, with them. the infiu-
ence she is exerting is all toward digging
and filling graves, and laying waste the
homes of the people. Humanity calls for
putting a stop to the carnival of blood and
waste, and the circumstances are such
that humanity can only speak and com
mand attention through the voice of the
United States. Should not the President
u up that voice?
The Ruiz case affords an admirable and
1oirited text. DIR. Ruiz American
citizen, entitled while obeying the laws in
Cuba to live in peace and security there.
But ne falls victim to the reign of terror
in existence, and is only one of thousands
of human beings to illustrate the depths to
which the Spanish policy has descended.
VIII the President meet the emergency?
Public sentiment is agreed that it cannot
with any credit to the country much longer
be postponed.
