HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
DOLE is STRONGLY IN FAVOR
OF ANNEXATION.
Wants the Treaty Ratified as Soon
as Possible-People Will Not
Submit to a Monarchy.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia dispatch to
the World" from Honolulu dated Oc-
tober 2Sth says:
Sanford B. Dole, President of the Pro-
visional Republic of Hawaii, and Chief
Justice Judd are anxious to have the
Hawaiian annexation treaty ratified as
soon as possible. Said President Dole
to the world
The people will never again submit
to a monarchy. In fact, there is no one
sufficiently enjoying the confidence of
the people of the islands to conduct the
affairs of state under a monarchy"
Why do they not desire to continue
as an independent Republic?" he was
asked.
AS the islands are so far away from
other countries, and as the Asiatic pop
ulation is fast increasing in numbers, it
is a serious question if they are left
alone whether the Republic could sur
vive with the willing consent of the for
eigners. Besides, If the United States
has constantly to protect the Islands
under the present Government, why
should not the United States take them
altogether? This is a great country for
commerce. 1t is the natural land for
American ownership. To all intents
and purposes it is an American colony,
anyway as far as business. capital and
industry is concerned. and it should be
party of the body polite of the
United States
Chief Justice Judd said in an inter-
view.
During the reign of King Kalakua
there We're thirty cabinets so diSsatis-
fled and unstable was the kingdom The
only branch of the Government that
was not disturbed was the judiciary.
The restoration of the monarchy is an
impoSsib ibility. There is no material 10
make a monarchy out of. Nor can one
hope TO maintain Republic independ-
entity. We must look TO the United
States. we have now come to the turn
ing point. and we must either become
Asiatic or Anglo-Saxon Our commerce
is with the United States. we are with
in the zone OF American influence. and
If the United States continues TO exer-
else protection and assume responsible
~ for us, they ought TO have something
to say about how our affairs are di-
rected."
The news that has reached here from
San Francisco that Samuel Parker. a.
prominent native leader. and heretofore
strong Royalist. has declared in favor
of annexation, has created quite a SEN
sation among the natives who are still
opposed to annexation.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Mrs. Frank

mine owner and politician of Denver,
Col, was killed in this city year
ago. has come East with her lawyer,
Mr.. Williams, also Of Denver, to call

part of foreign powers fail and fade,

deed which their fathers performed
either under the stars and stripes or the
little banner Of the southland"
AT the conclusion of General Boyn-
toms address, Hon. Clay Evans, Unit
ed States Commissioner of Pensions,
was introduced. Mr. Evans spoke at
some length. He said that the Gov
ernment at the breaking out of the
war made two distinct contracts with
the people: First, that every dollar
advanced for carrying forward the war
for the Union should be paid back III
the good, hard gold of the Republic. The
second engagement was that the Ma
destitute survivors of its armies of the
war, and for the widows of those who
fell in battle. Both of these prom
ises, he said, the Government is now
carrying out faithfully.
He urged all to stand for the honor
of the republic, to preserve the great
heritage of freedom and liberty handed
down by Washington, transferred by
Abraham Lincoln and so splendidly ex-
emplified by that ruler of 10000,0 900
people, who is greater than any mon
arch of Europe, William Mckinley.
Following Mr.. Evans, Colonel Tnom
as j. Stewart, Adjutant-General to
Governor Hastings, and General James

dresses
General John P Goblin, Commander
in-Chief of the G.. A. r., was called for.
General Goblin proposed that instead of
a speech he would ask the vast audi
ence to sing America" which was
done with vim, closing the ceremo-
nies.
Tonight the veterans enjoyed a
campfire at the city auditorium, pre-
pared by the local G.. A. r., and Con-
federate veterans. The blue and gray
mingled freely and ate out Of the same
haversack drank from the same cam
teen and told yarns until late hour.
Eight regimental and battery mona-
ments were dedicated by the Pennsyl-

THE GLOVE CONTEST BETWEEN
Mccoy AND SMITH.
The Australian Knocked Down
Twice in the First and Four
Times in the Second Round.

CHICAGO. Nov. 15-The 6-round
contest between Kid Mccoy and Aus
tralian Billy Smith, in which George
Siler was referee, was stopped by the
police in the first half of the second
round to-day. The fight would not
have lasted over two rounds anyway,
as Mccoy knocked Smith down twice
in the first round, four times IN the
second, and had him nearly out pe1ore
the police interfered.
Mccoy opened the first round with
rush, planting left squareiy IN smith
face, and a right on his ribs. smith
managed to land two blows on the
shoulder, but they were light, and did
no damage. Mccoy then went at MN
with q cannonade of rights and leftS,
and sent Smith to the floor with right
on the jaw Smith was not grosgy, but
took his nine seconds, Mccoy waiting
for him with a smile on MS race Inc
gong rang as Smith rose.
Second round-McCoy went right al
ter Smith, and knocked his head back
three times with straight lefts as fast
as Smith could bring * forward. He
then put a right on the body, two more
lefts on the mouth, and sent Smith
to the floor with a left half arm swing
on the law. Smith was down eight
seconds. and as soon as he was up Nc
Gov met him with another left, and
then sent in right and left on the
jaw, which laid Smith nat once more.
He was down eight seconds again, and
came up with the blood pouring from
his right eye and trlckilng from his
nose The two danced across the ring.
when out went McCoy's left with a
short arm jab, and down went Smith
a. third time He was down eight sec
onds, and was very groggy when he
arose. Mccoy came at him fast, and
put in two hard ones on the face. Smith
staggered, and it being evident that he
could last but very little longer. the po-
lice stopped the fight.
The contest was McCoy's from start
TO finish, and Smith was never in it at
any time. Mccoy hit him when and
where he pleased. and got away from
Smiths swings without any trouble.
The latter WAS badly punished, his
right eye being cut and nearly closed
when the fight was stopped.
Billy Ratchford of Chicago and Tom
Cooney of Boston went six rounds at
10 pornds, the former getting the de-
cision, although Cooney put up a game
fight.
Following this bout George Kerwin
of Chicago defeated Frank Fitzgerald,
also of this city. in. the second round.
AL Schriber of Chicago was rapidly
dsposing of Tom Silverthorn of Utah
when the affair was stopped in the fifth
round by the police.

in the matter of pacific measures re-
garding Cuba and Spain.
President Mckinley is quite anxious to
know what prospects there are for cur
rency legislation, and asks different
Senators who call for their opinion.
Senator Harris Of Kansas, who took
prominent part in the last session of
Congress against the arrangements for
the sale of the Union Pacific Railroad,
called on the President regarding the
sale of the Kansas Pacific Railroad. He
said he believed the Kansas Pacific, like
the Union Pacific, would bring the full
amount of the Government claim, and
thought as to the Central Pacific there
might be some difficulty, yet he inclined
to the opinion that the Government
would get its debt on this account also
in full.
While pressure is still being brought
to bear on the President for the appoint
ments, he is giving little time to such
matters, and prefers to work on his mes
sage. 1t is probable that the President
will make no recommendation in his
message upon the subject OF general ar
bitration. The fact that he made his
views clear on that subject in his in
augural address, and that no arbitration
treaty will be pending when the annual
mess ge fs sent in, makes 1t unnecessary
to s aything further on the matter
at + .SQe.

RELIEF FOR ICE-BOUND WHALERS
SIX HUNDRED REINDEER FOR
THE EXPEDITION.
Expected That the Herd Will
Reach Point Barrow In
February.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1o.-Secretary
Alger has requested the Secretary OF
the Interior to instruct the Alaskan Of
ficials to gather about GOO head of rein
deer from the Government herds for
the use of the expedition for the relief
of the ice bound whalers in the Arctic.
1t is expected that the Bear, which is
now AT Seattle, will be ready to sail in
about ten days, and within twenty days
thereafter will have reached some
point on Norton's Sound, where a large
party will be engaged for the trip over
land to Point Barrow.
The herd of reindeer which will be
killed for food if needed will be driven
overland and it is confidently expected
by Captain Shoemaker, chief of the
Revenue Cutter Service. and Captain
Harper, who is in command of the Beh-
ring Sea patrol fleet, that the herd will
reach Point Barrow and the imprisoned
whalecs before the middle of February.
The region through which the herd
will be driven is said to abound with
moss upon which the herd will feed,
and both agree that the scheme for the
relief of the whalers is perfectly feas-
ible ard will be attended with little
danger.
Captain Tuttle, who will command
the Bear, is regarded as one of the
most capable and trustworthy men in
the service. and no apprehension is felt
regarding the outcome of the enter
prise.
The eight vessels now ice bound have
a combined complement of go men.
The Orcha has A. the Belvidere 45, the
Freeman 40, the Fearless 80, the jean
ME 81, the Rosario %, the Wanderer 20
and the Newport 30.
The first two, the JEANNE and the
Rosario went up last spring, the New
port in 1893. the Wanderer and the
Fearless in 1894 and the Freeman in
1895. All expect to return this Win
ter The Orca, the Freeman and the
Belvidere are fast about half a mile
northeast of Point Barrow, and the re-
mainder are about 200 miles east of
Point Barrow, at the mouth of McKen-
ze River. and about 400 miles north of
the Arctic circle.
1t is believed that the relief expedi-
ton will reach the ice-bound expedi-
ton in time to prevent great suffering
from want of food.

Flre.ProofBuIIdInEs.

The dispatches OF yesterday morning
told OF the burning OF fne building in
St Louis including q stock OF goods val
ued at 81. 1000. Tn building was seven
rtor4es high, constructed of granite and
steel and thought to be a model Are
proof building. The story of the IRE as
it came BY telegraph said that at the time
Of writing this building was burning
like straw stack"
To the eye nothing seems more likely
than steel and granite to stand the as.
sault Of fire, and yet experience proves
that granite crumbles under intense heat.
and that iron and steel twists out Of
shape. 1t was 80 In the great Boston
fire, In the Chicago IRE. and probably will
DO 80 always. Strong and durable as
granite is under ordinary circumstances
It ia not a FIRE proof material. Under In
tense heat 1t dIsintegrates and gives way.
There are buildings in this country
very much taller than seven stories con-
structed Of steel and granite. and II such
a building burns like q straw stack the
chance OF anybody in the upper stories
would not be great in tho time Of fire.
Brick Is much better reliance than any
kind OF stone.
