They Regard Annexation As Very
Doubtful Blessing.

Doubtful Blessing.
Commenting on the proposition
to annex Hawaii to the United
States, the London Globe questions
our ability to protect the islands,
and says, "Japan's sea power is SO
immeasurably superior to that OF
the United States, that Japanese
naval demonstration would place
President Mckinley in a difficult
aud perilous position" Without
going into the question OF the pre-
sent superiority of Japan as sea
power, it is interesting to find evil
dsnce of the engrossing quality OF
the attention which Japan is Civ.
ing nowadays to naval concerns
in letter lately received from the
Oriental Association OF Japan,
which notes that the first OF Cap
tain Mahan's books on the sea power
has recently been translated into
Japanese, and the second is being
translated. The letter says: "The
knowledge of naval affairs is at pre-
sent the most important in this part
of the world. The Japanese edition
of the work has the attention of our
public. The naval and military
colleges have adopted it as their
textbook. The Imperial Household
Department bought 300 volumes, is
accordance with the royal purpose
of subscribing for every middle,
higher middle, and normal school in
Japan. Several thousand volumes
were sold in day or two"
1t will be remembered what lively
attention was paid 10 Captain Ma
hans works in Europe, but no Eu-
ropean nation has touched this
record of japan. Captain Mahan
himself seems to find in it bearing
on the Hawaiian annexation ques-
ton, for he is quoted as saying, "lf we
do not at once annex Hawaii we must
either resolve to give it up to Japan,
or to fight her within ten years, for
she will take it if we don't" --Har-
per's Weekly, July 10.

A DOUBLE MURDER.
a Japanese Kills HIS Wife and
Chtld

Child
BY the Kinau we received the sad
news that a murder has occurred on
Maui under very distressing circum-
stances.
A Japanese laborer at Sprsckels-
vile was deserted by his wife. The
woman left for Waikapu taking
with her their young child. The
man followed her, captured the
child, and started for Spreckelsville.
The woman followed him demand
ing the child, and in desperation he
cut the throat of the baby, severing
the head, and thereafter disem-
boweled the woman causing her
death. He then made an attempt
to commit suicide by cutting his
throat but was prevented in his pur-
pose by the arrival on the scene Of a
number OF Hawaiians.
No further details have been re-
ceived.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Locomotives Tor China.

Philadelphia, April 29--As result
of contract entered into by the Bald
win Locomotive Works, of this city with
the Chinese government, there are now
u locomotives, nearly completed and
almost ready for shipment, standing IN
the company's shops. This is the first
order of any magnitude ever received
from China by any other firm.
The contract fsr these locomotives,
which includes foar passenger, four
freight and four shifting engines, was
received some months ago and they
have been constructed upon general de
signs furnished by the Chinese govern
ment, while the various details were pre-
pared by the firm. In appearance they
resemble the ordinary American loco
motive, although there are several fea-
lures that are distinctly English, princi
pal among which is the mounting of the
tenders These, instead of being
mounted upon two four wheeled trucks
like the tenters of the American engines,
are mounted upon three pyramids of
two wheels each. The tenders are also
larger.
The engines are to be used on the I'm
perial railways of North China.

Big Pittsburg Fire.

Pittsburg, May 2.-The most destruc-
tive fire which has visited this city since
1915 broke out about midnight in I. Z
jenkins wholesale grocery house. The
flames spread rapidly from Jenkins and
soon had consumed several large build
ings in the vicinity. The total loss will
be at least 81 600, 900. The insurance
cannot be told tonight, but it is sup
posed to be we'll covered.
The origin of the fire in the Jenkins
building is not known, but 1t is
supposed to have been smouldering
ing for hours in a dust heap at the foot
of the elevator shaft. The watch
man tried to get the flames under
control, but gave up the attempt and
sent in an alarm.
A general alarm followed, and soon all
the engines in the city were on hand
1t was seen at once that the city fire de-
partment was not sufficient, and that
from Allegheny City was called on and
responded quickly, sending almost Its
entire force.
