FAvoRs ANNEXATION.

Wasringtonh, June 1S.-In view of
the fact that false and misleading
statements have been sent out from
Washington of Secretary Sherman's
position on the annexation of Hawaii,
the secretary said to an Associated
Press representative that as a rule he
was opposed to the United Staes ac-
quiring outlying territory, but he re-
garded the condition Of the Hawaiian
Islands as exceptional on account of
the claim of Japan to these islands.
He therefore approved the treaty max
ing Hawaii q possession of the United
States but thinks she should not be
entitled to admission as a state.

AMERICAN CHILD AND PARENT.
Filial Piety Almost Unknown in This
Country.

Filial Piety Almost Unknown in This
Country.
1t was pretty little letter that Ii
Hung Chang wrote TO little Brooklyn
girl few weeks ago in which he COM
mended especially to her the religion
of his country-reverence and respect
for her parents-virtues which in this
country are sadly neglected. The Amer
lean child judges his parent with youth
full severity, not unmiXed with preiu-
dice, inasmuch as he is directly affect
ed by his fathers or mothers short
comings. To feel respect simply be-
cause certain individual stands to
him in loco PARENTS never enters his
mind. If his parent is worthy to be
loved, according to the child's stand
ards, he loves him; if not, he dislikes
him, and calmly discusses his faults as
il he were stranger. What Is known
as filial piety is almost unknown in
America A certain sense of duty is
undoubtedly felt An old and INDECENT
parent would be cheerfully supported.
For, without having any particular rev.
erence, Americans are kind to old peo-
pie, and even tolerant to the foibles
and weaknesses of a grandparent, be-
ing only severe in their criticisms of
their immediate progenitors.
The chief trouble in this country is
that there is no regular standard COM
mon to every hcasehold that all young
people should conform to as a matter of
course Some families are strict, 9TH
ers are lax, but in one and all children
rank with their elders. Family rule is
hydra-headed in America" says one OF
our many foreign critics with much rea-
son, but how they do love to crithcise
us! No other country is so constantly
dissected and pulled to pieces. Chill
dren, wives and servants, all but the le-
Ultimate head of the house, with an
equal voice in the management, and
each with a veto over his personal wills
and wants."
ut must not besupposed, this writer
says in another part of his book, from
the social and domestic prominence OF
the women and children that American
men are a supine lot; they are subordi'
nate to their families, but are not to
be bullied by other men. 1t is simply
the habit of the country, as an Indian
warrior of undoubted bravery, whose
tepee is hung with scalps, may be
beaten by his favorite squaw without
loss of dignity"
"But," continues our latest critic,
who find our institutions atrocious,
our society crude and vulgar, yet who
evidently has kindly feelings for Amer
lean men and women despite Their
shortcomings-"le plus terrible OF all
the enfant terrible, is the American en-
fant"-in him hei finds nothing to
praise,-N. Y. Tribune.

BORING FOR STEAM.
Hope to Find II Two Miles Below the
Earth's Surface.

The deepest well in the world Will
soon be completed near Pittsburgh, Ia.
II is now more than one mile deep, and
when it Is finished it may reach two
miles into the earth. 1t is being bored
In the interest Of science. The object in
penetrating so deeply is to determine
lust what the interior of the human
footstool is like. From q commercial
point of view the well was a success
long ago. A comparatively few feet
below the surface both gas and oil were
struck in paying quantities, but the
company owning the plant determined
to dedicate it to science, and invited
Prof. William Hallock, of Columbia coll
Iege, to carry on series of temperature
investigations as the hole is carried
deeper and deeper into the earth. The
result of these Investigations is very
interesting, and it is the opinion OF sew
eral well-known scientists that the ul-
innate result of the boring will prove to
be of widespread economic as well as OF
scientific value. Most significant OF all
the facts so far ascertained is that the
well grows steadily hotter as it's depth
increases.
1t is the intention of the company to
continue the boring process until some
thing entirely new and original is de-
yeloped. This may seem a crude way OF
putting the statement but it has long
been a theory among well men that If
il is possible to go deep enough SHINE
rev geologic condition oreconomic fea-
ture would be found TO exist AT the
very lead they claim natural steam
would be encountered, or the well walls
would finally become SO hot that water
could be pumped down cold andpumped
ND in the form of steam, and THUS the
natural power of the future be obtained.
At any rate there is material for much
speculation, and the interest becomes
greater in increased ratio as the drih
deseends and startling event Is ex-
pected to happen almost any day. One
remarkable feature of the we'll y that
the gas found near the surface is DOW
used to operate the powerful engines
which do the drilling. Thus the natural
power already issuing from the well Is
utilized for the purpose of deepening
it.-Washington Star.

BOY DROWNED.
HE GOULD NOT SWIM BUT TRIED
To LEARN.
Fell Off Raft Il a Natatorium And
Drowned With No Assistance
To Rescue.

An unfortunate tragedy occurred at
$3.50 O'Clock last night in the bathing
pool Of the old Burke natatorium on
North Flores street, near San Pedro
park, when Henry Obert, the 1s-year-
old son Of Mrs. Kate Obert. was ac-
cidentally drowned while trying to
learn to swim, while three companions
stood helpless to rescue him.
Obert had worked about the natator-
ium sometimes, helping to clean the
pool, and was more or less about there.
He had never tried to swim until last
evening, when he decided to try and
with the other boys got some boards
on a barrel and got on top the impro-
vised raft When out in the deepest
part of the pool where about ten
or twelve feet of water is found, the
craft upset and Obert, who could not
swim, was drowned.
Coroner Phil Shook was summoned
early after the body was recovered by
the mounted police and began the TAX
ing of evidence. The inquest will be
continued tomorrow. The keeper Of
the natatorium is Ned Alexander. 1t
is not known if he kept any assistants
to look after the natatorium and pre-
vent such casualties.

THE REPORTER DISCHARGED.


Washington, D. c., June 1S-John j.
Shriver, correspondent Of the Mail and
Express, New York, today was declar-
ed not guilty of contempt in refusing
to answer questions of the Senate
committee in relation to the sugar
trust investigation. Shriver was the
fourth of the recalcitrant witnesses,
Messrs. Havemeyer and Searls, presi-
dent and secretary Of the American
Sugar Refining company, both having
been discharged, while Broker Elver-
ton r. Chamberlain was convicted and
served one month in Jail.
Judge Bradley based his decision in
the Shriver case on two points: First,
the witness had not been legally sum-
moned and second, that the question
asked him was not pertinent. The
contention of the defense that COM
munications to newspaper men privi-
leges class the same as the communica-
ton to priests, lawyers and physicians,
the court refused to sustain, but as
the court did on the other hand hold
that to ask witness the name of his in
formant, was not a pertinent question,
the council for defense now holds that
precedent is established which virtual
ly brings newspaper witnesses within
the privileged class.
