dian Islands, there is no place on
earth where men can live with so
little labor as Hawaii. The poorer
Americans, led by few prominent
men, have organized an 'Annexa-
ton Club the avowed object be-
ing to prevent the japanese from
obtaining equal rights with the
Americans"
There is hardly an item of the
foregoing that is not news to the
people here, except perhaps the
statement that the rank and file of
the Americans wish unreserved an
nexation to the United States. The
avowed object of the Annexation
Club, as stated by the Literary Di-
gest, is indeed amusing, and look
ing over the list of those present
at the meeting referred to we find
very few outside the newspaper
men, who are proverbially poor,
who would be classed among the
poorer Americans. 1t has also vet
to be demonstrated that a living in
Hawaii is purchased with less labor
than in any country outside of the
West Indies.
Here again is given a very good
argument for greater activity in
the literary bureau of the Annex
alton Club. The Club, besides
sending out literature from this
country, ought, in order to carry
on the work properly, to employ
writers in the large newspaper cen
tiers who would correct misstate-
ments like the above and be ready
to furnish facts and figures in case
arguments against annexation are
put before the public to any extent.
The Club should be prepared to
present its side of the question
promptly in order to guard against
hasty judgments formed by read
ing misstatements due to ignorance
or malice aforethought. Situated
as we are, it is impossible for the
literary committee to handle the
matter promptly. 1t requires a
week or ten days for the papers to
reach Honolulu, and a full month
would pass before correction
could be made. The Annexation
Club should have capable repre-
sentative in San Francisco, Chi
cago or some other city of the
Middle West, in New York and
Washington. These men would |
cost money, but in the present cam
paign the expenditure would be a
mere bagatelle when we consider
what may be lost to Hawaii by a
failure to put out money where it |
is needed.

TO BREAK THE DEADLOCK
Colonel Spalding Will Present New
Cable Proposition.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. S.-Since
the deadlock in the Committee on Com
merce, over which the two projects for
a Hawaiian cable was the more meri-
torious the general question of the Pa
cific cable has been in allegiance. It
is understood, however, that effort to-
ward action now will be made and that
Gen. W. A. Swaine of New York will
appear before the House Committee
of Commerce next Tuesday to present
a new proposition in behalf of the
Spalding company.

w. n. Armstrong in his state
ments regarding annexation lays
down the economic law in a style
that will make the hair curl on the
heads of some of our easy-going,
self-confdent advocates of the las

local affairs. "A pessimist" and "a
theorizer," ''an alarmist," and pos
sibly from the ultra easy-going, "a
crank" will doubtless be the COM
ments from some sections of our
community; but just as sure as the
sun rises on California before it
does on Hawaii, the men who con-

country must face the problems
Mr.. Armstrong presents with his
inimitable force and direcmess.

THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY.

When the record of the years
preceding the 18th of January,
1898, Is compared with the four
years of moral, political and COM
mercial progress that have follow
ed, the holiday celebrated today
might well be put down as the
brightest anniversary on the Ha-
waiian calendar. In the year inn
mediately following the overthrow
of the monarchy Hawaii had many
harsh and disagreeable experiences,
but as we now look back upon
those trying events we can see that
the test of the determination to
maintain republican institutions at
all hazards has stamped failure
forevermore" upon any attempt to
secure a reinstatement of monarch
ial rule. 1t was shortly after the
overthrow that our great and good
friend told the United States Con
gress that but for the assistance of
the American Minister the Com
mittee of Safety would never have
existed, and but for the 'lawless
occupation of Honolulu" by Unit
ed States forces the Provisional
Government would never have ex-
listed. But this same friend after
wards discovered that not only
could the Provisional Government
maintain itself without the United
States forces, but also remained in
power Notwithstanding ominous
threats from United States forces.
But the victory of the Provis-
ional Government has been swal-
lowed up in the successful admins
tration of the Republic, and on
this the eve of the third anniver-
sary of the revolution we find po-
litical barriers broken down and a
peaceful and united people, willing
TO give the most kindly interpreta-
ton to the action Of men who
sought to carry out a policy entire
ly contrary to modern ideas Of lib
erty and ruinous to the country
The administration of our ma
tional affairs is in the hands of
men who have in late years shown
themselves to be as honest, pro-
gressive and capable as they were
courageous and determined four
years ago. Our national leaders
have been true to their trust, the
Republic has prospered, and under
its strong but kindly guidance gen
eral prosperity has been the share
of the nation. Best of all, the time
seems close at hand when Hawaii

and celebrate a greater event by
placing on It's calendar of anniver-
saries Admission Day.

PROPOSED Trust FAILS THROUGH.
Manufacturers of White Paper Used by
Newspapers Fall to Agree.

New York, Jan. 12.-It was learned
definitely this afternoon that the nego-
tiations which have been pending be-
tween manufacturers of white paper
used by newspapers to effect pooling
arrangement whereby the product of
all mills should be handled by a stock
company, with head offices in this city,
had fallen through, and that the pro-
ject had been abandoned.
A meeting was held in Boston few
days ago, at which certain manufact-
urers having mills in process of con-
struction insisted that they should be
given representation in the pool upon
the basis of future production, and
that others contemplating such i'm
provements should not be allowed such
privileges. This was the debatable
point which the manufacturers have
been since considering, with the result
that negotiations were to-day declared
off.

MedicaI in I,ecognition of His Work

Presented with the Cullom Geographical
Medical in Recognition of His Work
New York, Jan. 12.--Lieutenant Pea
ry, u. S. NJ. was the recipient tonight,
in Chickering hall, of the Cullon geo.
graphical medal. The medal was be-
slowed upon Lieutenant Peary by the
American Geographical society in rec
ognition of his services in Polar seas
in 1891 and 1895, when he conducted
practically two expeditions to search
for the pole.
The medal is the institution of the
late vice president of the society, Cen
eral Cullom. and will be awarded
henceforth by the society to American
explorers whose achievements make
them worthy of it. The president of
the society. Hon. c. P. DAILY, in pre-
senting the medal to Mr.. Peary, made
a. brief speech. Lieutenant Peary made
suitable reply.
He told briefly the chief features of
his work among the icebergs, fjords
and foes of the frozen continent. His
aim, he said, had always been to push
the stars and stripes to the very apex
of the globe, and though now the Nor
wegian flag had, through Nansen, been
placed beyond our flag, the lieutenant
hoped that in short while ours would
be again in the lead

John O'Neil Has Been Arrested Charged
With the Crime

Greenfield, Mass. Jan. 12.-John
O'Neill, jr., twenty-six years of age,
was arrested at the home of his father
in Shelburne Falls, Buckland town
ship, at $50, this morning, on the
charge Of numbering Mrs. Hattie E.
McCloud last Friday evening.
O'Neill, who Is laborer, is a mem
ber of the tough element and is ad-
dicted to drink. He was brought to
Greenfield this morning and lodged in
the lookup. He was arraigned in the
district court before Associate Justice
Dana at o'clock. TO the charge of
murder he pleaded not guilty, and a
hearing was set for January q at
o'clock. He was held without bail, and
was lodged in Franklin county Jail.
Mrs. McCloud had very little actual
cash with her at the time of her death.
She cashed a check for $3.50 that day,
and paid out $25. Medical Examiner
Canedy is the only man who can tell
whether an assault was actually COM
mitted, and he refuses to talk
The general theory seems to be that
more than one man was concerned in
the deed. 1t is surmised that they were
we'll acquainted with Mrs. McCloud and
her habits. They were ready to com
NIT a crime to crafty their passions
They saw her go UP that lonely road
after nightfall unattended. Their
blood had been infiamed by drinking
Their victim, unsuspieious of peril
walked leisurely along the steep path
They hurried by a short cut, either di-
rectly over the hillside or by the other
road and intercepted her. To prevent
her making any outcry, a strong hand
closed upon her throat. She speedily
strangled to death The discoloration
of the neck was the only mark upon
the body.
The deed was committed between Z
and .. m. on Friday, and the body
was discovered Saturday morning.

ANGL0-aMnRIC4N TREATY.
1t is Believed That Russia May Attempt to
Prevent Its Ratification.


London, Jan. 12.-The Chronicles
Washington correspondent telegraphs
that Russia has been most keenly anx-
ious to obtain knowledge regarding
the treaty of arbitration signed by the
representatives of England and the
United States During the negotiations
the Russian minister asked Secretary
Olney whether it was treaty of Of
fence and defence, and whether it COM
mitted the two countries to an alli-
ance.
Mr.. Olney replied that in the ordinary
diplomatic acceptance of the term it
swas not such a treaty, but 1t was an
alliance with Great Britain in support
of the Monroe doctrine, England by
the terms of the Venezuelan treaty
having acknowledged the validity of
the Monroe doctrine. The Chronicle
vouches for the correctness of the fore
going and claims to be in a position to
declare that the American executive
holds that with Great Brtains support
the danger OF European interference in
the western hemisphere vanishes and
the United States becomes supreme
This, the paper says, was one of the
chief reasons that caused the United
States to endeavor to secure the treaty.
1t adds that Russia more than once
offered assistance to the United States
when the relations with Great Britain
threatened to become rupture The
secretary of state recognized that the
Offers were not So much prornpted hy
the friendship for the United States as
by emnity for England. If Russia has
any influence in Washington it will be
directed to preventing the ratification
of the treaty by the senate.

American Liner Paris will Cross the
Ocean Thus Handicapped


New York, Jan. 12.-The American
liner Paris will start from here to-
morrow In an attempt to cross the At
lantic with the aid of one screw. Her
other screw is disabled The sleeve of
the tail end of the port shaft has Slip
ped down three inches and the port en-
gine is unable to turn the screw. The
company in a circular TO the saloon
passengers to-day gave them the op-
ton of cancelling their engagements
and going by some other line. Half a
dozen Of them availed themselves of
the companys offer and secured pas
sage on the steamer Majestic.
The Paris will doubtless make the
passage all right, but it will take eight
days and great amount of use of the
steering gear to overcome the action
of the single screw. One of the engin-
eers told a reporter that when the
Paris was three days out on her trip
hence, which ended Sunday, the port
engine stopped, but twelve hours tink-
ering brought it around again. One of
the officers of the vessel said she would
be docked at Tilbury Immediately af-
ter arrival on the other side and that
the New York and st. Louis would
change so as to made the Sailing

Debate on the homestead bill was re-
sumed, and Mr.. Allen made an argu-
ment in favor of the bill. In comment
ing on the declaration made by Mr..
Platt, rep, of Connecticut, when the
bill was last under consideration. that
he would not be bound by the home
stead plank, Mr.. Allen spoke in a bit
ter tone of good men" meeting in con-
vention and putting forward principles
for the mere purpose of catching votes
and with no intimation of being bound
by their declarations.
Mr. Hoar, rep, of Massachusetts,
challenged the use of the phrase good
men" as applied to such people.
Perhaps" said Mr.. Allen, II should
have qualified my statement by saying
good men in other respects
"And scoundrels in that respect" Mr..
Hoar suggested.
Not necessarily So" Mr.. Allen re-
piled; politicians in that respect"
II should say scoundrels," Mr.. Hoar
persisted.
Possibly the senator would" said
Mr.. Allen. "He is palmer in his Ian
guage than I am."
In closing, Mr.. Allen spoke of the
existing reign of bankruptcy and
suicide" as being the logical conse-
quence of the financial policy of the
government, and he suggested the
adoption of a policy that would be fair
and just to all.
Mr.. Villas, DEM, of Wisconsin, said
that although the pending bill did not
attract much attention, 1t proposed, ac-
cording to the report of the secretary
Of the interior, to surrender $4,000, 00C
in money, which was, in part at least
due on contracts already made between
the government and settlers on the
public lands 1t was bill to bestow
on individuals, in small sums varying
from $160 to $3.50, an aggregate very
large in amount. 1t would, therefore
seem to require strong reasons (grant-
ing the power of congress) to justify
it's passage. He rehearsed the history
of the homestead law and stated rea-
sons why the bill should not be passed
There was an amusing interchange
of thrusts and parties between SEN
ators Villas and Allen in relation to
which was the real democratic plat
ford, that adopted at Chicago or that
adopted at Indianapolis Villas as
serting that the former was against the
best interests of the United States ano
the later was founded throughout or
democracy.
Mr.. Villas then proceeded with his
argument against the bill. the passage
of which he said would lay the founda.
tion for demand for the repayment
Of all the money heretofore paid to the
government by settlers on Indiar
lands.
Mr.. PETER, populist of Kansas, advo-
Gated the bill. In a depression to show
the wealth of Kansas he declared thai
the people Of that state were as hon
est and as enterprising as they even
We're, and that although they were nov
under a cloud they would come out
right at the end.
The bill went over and the senate
adjourned.

In the Senate.

Washington, Jan. 12.-In the senate,
to-day, the house bill for free home
steads in public lands acquired from
the various Indian tribes was taken
up.
The bill was advocated by Mr.. Nell
son, rep, of Minnesota, as a just ex-
tension of the free homestead policy;
and he declared that this was no time
for the adoption of picayunish policy
towards the struggling settlers.
Mr.. Chandler, rep. of New Hamp-
shire, presented q memorial from Hen
ry A. Dupont, claiming to have been
elected to a seat in the United States
senate May 8, 1895, and urging the re-
opening of the question. The memorial
was referred to the committee on priyi-
leges and elections.

said that the only matter discussed
was the communication concerning the
town burials. Town Agent Hugo was
asked If the rumor that he had decided
to resign had any foundation.
WELL did think that 1 would re-
sign when the board adopted the un-
usual resolution requiring all checks to
be countersigned by Finance Clerk
Perry. 1t seemed to me as If the board
intended to cast sIur on my honesty
and business integrity. I shall not,
however, resign, but as long as the re-
publican majority requires that all or
ders on Treasurer Mersick shall be
signed by Clerk Perry I shall refuse to
file the customary bond of $25, 000."
Continuing Mr.. Hugo said: II went
to see Mr.. Mersick about the matter
and he gave me to understand that he
should recognize the right Of the board
to pass such vote and the power 1t
had to enforce it. He believed it an
excellent idea and he suggested the
scheme to Mr.. Baldwin last year.
President Ludington was asked If
there ever had been such rule en-
forced before. He replied that it never
