THE TEXAS ELECTION.
One Constitutional Amendment Is
Adopted. Another Defeated.

St Louis, Aug. S.-A special from
Dallas, Tex, says: The lightest vote
ever cast at a general election in Texas
was proba bly, polled today on the three
constitutional amendments. Returns
received up TO II o'clock indicate that
not to exceed one-eighth of the voters
OF the state took the pains to go to the
polls This apathy was especially pro-
nounced through north Texas.
The irrigation amendment to validate
the public improvement bonds of Ger
tain new counties, which are to be
bought with the permanent school fund
to the amount of about sS,oOO.OOO, ap-
pears 70 have been adopted, but the
amendment 10 permit certain counties
TO issue bonds TO subsidize new rail-
roads is probably defeated
The strongest opposition to the irri-
cation amendment is said to have been
in east Texas. The fate of all the
amendments viii probably turn on the
extent of the vote in east Texas The
principal direct interest is centered in
the west, as they are operative there.

ter of the forthcoming arrangement be-
tween Japan and Hawaii. The ambas-

the question of indemnity for breaches

an arrangement with the United States,
because Japan does not recognize that
the United States have any rights in
Hawaii

Dingley tariff would ruin Japan's great
and growing trade with the United

protested against placing prohibitive
duties upon goods for which there is no

Ever since the resignation of the Rev.
Mr.. AIcNiece went into effect, the First
Presbyterian church has been without
a pastor. The pulpit has been flied
from time to time by visiting ministers
but no one has yet been chosen to fill
the vacant position. The church has
already made one or two calls but
their invitations have so far been de-
clined.
For the past few weeks the Rev.
William M. Paden, one of the two
prominent pastors of the Holland
Memorial church of Philadelphia, has
occupied the pulpit. Mr.. Paden, while
not candidate for the pastorship, has
made many warm friends among the
congregation who would be very glad

precedent for such action during the

THE JAPANESE VIEW.
Prefer Hawaiian Independence to
Annexation.


City of Mexico. Aug. S.-In an in
teryieM on the Hawaiian-Japanese
controversy Yoshibuni Murota, Japan
csc minister TO Mexico, made the fol-
lowing statement There are many
japanese in Hawaii and they have
rights which might be interfered With
in the event Of annexation. What if
the United States respected these
rights? In such a case there might be
no objection on the part of my gCv-
eminent. However, Hawaii is an IN
dependent country in the Pacific and
Japan would prefer to have it kept n
dependent.
Even if the United States, should
carry ont their policy of non-interfer
ence in Europe or eastern affairs, in
case the islands should become a part
of the American Union some contin-
gency might arise, forcing them to
change their policy CT neutrality.
For instance, Hong Kong is an i'm
portant settlement, and if America Lad
any question with Great Britain. the
possession of these islands in the Pa
cific might lead as an accident in
colonial politics to an expansion OF the
American domain far beyond their
present intentions. This is the reason
we prefer to have Hawaii wholly inde-
pendent"
The minister said that all talk about
an alliance between Japan and Spain
against the United States is erroneous.
mo such thing is contemplated, said
he. Japan owes her modern renais-
sance TO the United States, through
whose efforts the country was thrown
open to the world. We consider the
United States in that sense our mother
country.
Even if the United States were to
make a present of Hawaii to japan it
would not be accepted. The japanese
have no ambition to annex Hawaii,
and, as 1 said, would rather see the
islands independent and free
