relative to the proposed annexation or
Hawaii by the United States: Japan
must oppose II To the utmost. The an

land has repeatedly tried 10 make
Egypt dependent. but France. being
positively opposed to the arrangement,
England is obliged TO abide by the
status quo. Just in the same way
Japan must oppose the annexation To
the utmost and must stand by this de-
cision resolutely. Japan has communi-
Gated to England. Germany and France

American annexation
IL Is stated that the cruiser Taxa

The schooner Norma arrived from
the south seas on the 18th inst. and re-
ported sufficient evidence secured to
warrant the belief that England had
been taking formal possession Of a
number Of small fertile islands in that
portion OF the globe. without stopping
to inquire who the owners might be.
The most marked evidence OF English
possession was found on the Palmyra
group. This is considered more re-
markable because the islands. some IA

Dice Covered by the Law.

Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
Helena. Mont. July 24-Attorney
General Nolan to-day gave out an
opinion to the effect that betting on
horse races, although gambling, was
not prohibited by the anti-gambling
law. The question was raised by Guy
w. Stapleton. county attorney of Sill
Yer Bow county. who desired To know
whether in the attorney generals opin-
ion pool selling in Butte on foreign or
local races, or pool selling at the race
track, came under the prohibiting
clause of the new law. He also asked
II nickel-in- the-slot machines and dice
throwing for drinks are permissible
under the law.
After quoting the law which express
ly prohibits certain games and all
games Of chance played with cards,
dice. or any device whatever" the at
torney general says: In SO far as bet
ting on horse racing is concerned. the
question resolves itself into one as To
whether the instrumentality employed
effecting the bets on horse races con-
stitute a device such as is contemplo-
ted by the law. am of the opinion
that such instrumentalities do not con-
stitute this device"
In conclusion, the attorney general
says: THE betting Is not the races
exclusively. and the result Is in no way
determined by the use Of the instru-
mentalities in question and no addi-
tional elsment OF chance Is introduced
thereby. The authorities are pretty
certain upon the proposition that
nickel-in- thc-slot machines. and dice
shaking for drinks are prohibited by "A
law such as we have. IL might be well.

pose which was 10 be subserved in u
enactment Of this law IN the rigid en-
forcement Of IL I'm its every detail. This
is a matter that exclusively belongs To
the prosecuting officers In the different
counties. There is no question but that
the object Of this law was to make
gambling a thing OF the past in Mon
tanu. and as to the expediency of rig
idly enforcing its provisions respect
ing those minor matters. such as play
ing cards for the drinks. or for cigars,
or shaking dice. this is a question that
addresses itstlf exclusively to you.
There is no question, however. in my
mind, but that these acts are prohibit
ed by law"

cence and Expires.
Hollister, Cal, April 22.-The
atrocious murder of Bernardino AS
seuro, in the hills about twenty miles
from here, caused much excitement,
as an attempt had bsen made to
burn his body in his cabin, but a
tragic sequel to the crime Was furn
ished by Joe Pincado. the suspected
murderer, dropping dead, after call
ing on the Almighty to witness his
innocence. As.euro had located lands
in the hills which Pincado claimed.
The body of Asseuro was not remov
ed on the day it was found, and last
night the murderer returned to the
scene of the crime. Finding the fire
had but half cremated his victim,
the murderer proceeded to slash the
unburned portion into strips, and
scattered them about, to obliterate
evidences of his crime, which he did
not know had been discovered.
Up to the time Of Sheriff Hol-
brooks arrival Pincado had not bsen
suspected. The Sheriff's ;r-astiga.
ton established PiEcado's guilt be-
yond doubt, and the latter's arrest
was the consequence. That same
night Pincado was taken before Dis
trict Attorney Hudner, who began
to cross examine him. Pincado was
an ignorant Portuguese, and he soon
made damaging admissions. When
he saw that he was involving himself
sweat poured from his forehead, and
he sought relief in declaring with
great emphasis again and again that
he had not killed Asseuro. Finally
he rose from his chair, and pale as
death, lifting his hands he said sol
emnly:
"May Goi strike me dead if I am
guilty"
Like an answer to his appeal
Pincado's frame shook as from 9
spasm. He clutched the air for q
moment, and then sank down at the
District Attorneys feet, dead. The
doctor said it was heart disease
aggravated by excitement; but Por
tuguese who heard him can not be
convinced that he was not killed b,
the hand of God.
