Com,nis.icner Kinney Replies 10 the
eueen'~ Protest.
Washington, June 10. - The
Evening Ster publishes the follow
ing interview with William A.
Kinney, one of Hawaii's Special
Commissioners here: ut is charg-
ed in the Queens protest that the
annexation treaty is an act Of
wrong toward the native and part
native people Of Hawaii. Without
attempting now to reply to her
statement as a whole, if there ie
anything that the annexation
treaty is not, it is just this that is
charged against it; for annexation
is the sole hope of the native Ha-
waiians. i speak of the common
people. Their future is one of two
ends, to pass under Asiatic or An.
glo-Saxon control. The hope of
these people as nation was dead
twenty years ago, before this
Queen ever assembled the throne.
"If Asiatic dominion obtains
: the natives must become coolies,
for certainly they cannot expect to
, he better off than the rank and
file of the dominant state. If
America takes Hawaii, the natives
become American citizens and the
American scale Of wages and the
} honorable position occupied by
labor in America will prevail in
Hawaii, and every native will have
the benefit OF it. 1t is the choice
} between the status OF the Ameri.
can laborer and that of an Asiatic
: coolie laborer.
u "The white race, If Asiatics
absorb Hawaii, can get out to
their own country. The common
native has no such choice. He
, must stay and meet his fate. Not
withstanding the indisputablt
! blessing annexation will be to the
common native, the Queen, play
ing upon the inbred devotion Of
the natives to their chiefs, has
: together with the official class
among Hawsiians, insisted upor
, the natives holding out against
their own good and following
with her the will-o'.the wisp of {
restoration Of the monarchy
(which will not cure or touch the
Asistic question but will, on tn,
other hand, irrevocably commi
Hawaii to Asia rather than t
America.
"There is no power within Ha,
waii to withstand the Asiatic tide
1t needs the strong arm of tn,
United States. The patrioti
9 thing for the Queen to do is Sc,
. cure to her people the high ant
coveted status OF the averag
American citizen. Instead of en-
?. tertaining any such ideas, how
ever, she is evidently bidding TO
cfthe support Ut japan to scrambl
. back to her throne at fearfu
cost to the native people. Tn
feslty of the native Hawaiians t
their chiefs knows no limit, an
often is exercised in way beyon
the pale of reason or argumen
and they will probably follow he
lead if they have their own way
the undoing of themselves an
everybody else in Hawaii; but
becomes a perfect carieature fo
her to protest against aune1atio
in the name OF the native peopl
and as a wrong to them"

ORDER SET ASIDE.
Mr.. Bristow's New Ruling Regarding
Terms of All Postmasters.

Mr.. Bristow's New Ruling Regarding
Terms OF All Postmssters.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1i.-Fourth As
is,ant Acknowledgement Bristow yes
terday made an. important ruling,
which affects the tenure of Office of all
postmasters throughout the country.
He overturns the decision of Post
master-General Bissell, who held that
postmaster was entitled to serve
four years from the date of his con-
firmation. For example, II man were
appointed to a fourth-class office and
served three years in that capacity,
and at the expiration of that time the
said office should become presidential
by reason of increased business and
the postmaster were reappointed
by the president, he was enti-
tied to serve four years from
the date of the new commission; and If
the postmaster, whether fourth-class
or presidential, should die or resign
before the expiration of his four-years'
service. his successor, under the Bissell
ruling, was entitled to- four years. MIR.
Bristow decides that in cases above re-
ferred to a successor would be allowed
only to serve out the unexpired term.
The full meaning of this is that numer-
Gus changes will be made soon in
fourth-class and presidential offices
throughout the country, and demo-
cratic postmasters who fancied they
would be secure in their offices for the
next two or three years will soon be
out of their Jobs.

The Legislature of 1896 made Lander

Huddleston now presides, and three

extra term costs more money than the
county can afford to pay, and the Meri-

AWFUL HAVOC.
a Colorado Train Wreck Resulto in
Terrible Disaster.
Thirty People Dead aud Nearly 600 Injured
Many Passengers arc Consumed by
Flames After the wrcck-Con-
ductor Under Arrest.

NEWCASTLE, Col, Sept 1.-THE
worst wreck in the history of the state
of Colorado occurred at 1925 ye3ter-
day morning on the joint track of the
Denver & Rio Grande and the Colorado
Midland railways, IL miles west OF
here. After 12 hours incessant work
by the wrecking crews in clearing
away the debris and rescuing the
bodies of those who perished, it is yet
impossible to secure more than an es-
innate of the loss of life, and not even
those known to be dead have been
identified. Many of the unfortunates
will never be known, and it is possible
that the number killed will always be
in doubt. From the best information
obtainabie now fully 80 persons are be-
licved to have persisted, while 1S5 who
came out of the wreck alive are suffer
ing from serious injuries.
The wreck was caused by head-end
collision between a Denver II Rio
Grande passenger train, running at the
rate of 30 miles an hour, and special
Colorado Midland Stock train, running
at a speed of probably so miles an hour.
So terrific was the concussion that
both engines, baggage and express
cars, smoker and day coaches and two
stock cars were totally demolished and
the track torn up for rods in each di-
rection. To add to. the horror of the
scene, the wreckage at once caught
fire from an explosion of a Pintsch gas
tank on the passenger train, and
burned so rapidly that many passen-
gers, pinned beneath the debris, were
burned to death before help could
reach them.
The most generally accepted theory
as to the cause of the wreck is that
Conductor Burbank, of the Midland
special, anticipating the time of the
passenger, undertook to 'steal a sta
ton and beat the passenger into New
castle. Burbank escaped uninjured,
and, upon orders from Coroner Clark,
has been placed under arrest by the
sheriff. Midland Engineer Ostrander
is missing, and a thorough search all
about his engine fails to reveal any
vestige of his remains. 1t is thought
that when he saw the threatened dan
ger he jumped from his engine, and,
realizing his negligence, took to the
hills.
Mr.. and Mrs. f. ii. Strouse, who live
one-fourth of mile from the scene OF
the accident, report that when the
two trains met the shock was so great
rs to literally hurl them out of bed.
Some say the noise was heard and the
shock felt in Newcastle. Charred
fragments of limbs and bodies of a
number of persons have been taken
out of the ruins, but it is not likely
that any more bodies will be positively
identified. and it seems certain that
the number killed will remain in
doubt

SLAIN LIKE SHEEP.
Pennsylvania Striking Miners Fired
Upon by Deputy sherifTs.
More Than 30 Men Killed and Fully 40
Injured - Dead and woUuded All
Hungarians-Tragic Crisis In
the strike situation.

HAzLEToN, Pa, Sept 1.-THE strike
situation reached n terrible crisis on
the outskirts of Latimer yesterday
afternoon, when band of deputy
sheriffs fred into a mob of Hungarian
miners. The men fell like sheep and
the excitement has since been so in
tense that no accurate figures of dead
and wounded can be obtained. Re-
ports run from Is to 20 odd killed and
80 or more wounded. One man who
reached the scene last night counted
l3 corpses. Four other bodies lie in
the mountains between Latimer and
IIarleigh. Those who were not in ured
carried their dead and wounded friends
into the woods and estimate is baffled.
The strikers left lIazleton about $3.50
o'clock this afternoon. and it was their
intention to go to Latimer. AS soon as
this became known, band of deputies
vas loaded on trolley car and went
whirling across the mountain to the
scene where the bloody conflict fol-
lowed. After reaching Latimer, they
left the car and formed into three com
panies. Sheriff Martin was in entire
command. and stood in the front of the
line until the strikers approached.
They were seen coming across the
ridge, and Martin went out to meet
them. The men drew up suddenly,
and listened in silence until he had
once more read the riot act. This fin
ished, low muttering arose among
the foreigners, and there was n slight
movement forward. Perceiving this,
the sheriff stepped toward them and,
in a determined tone, forbade adj
vance. Some one struck the sheriff,
and the next moment there was a com
mand to the deputies to fire.
The guns of the deputies instantly
belched forth terrible volley. The
report seemed to shake the very noun
tains, and a cry of dismay went up
from the people. The strikers were
taken entirely by surprise, and as the
sncn toppled and fell over each other,
those who remained unhurt stampeded.
The men went down before the storm
of bullets like tenpins and the groans
of the dying and wounded filled the
air. The excitement that followed
was simply indescribablc. The depu-
ties seemed to be terror-st-icke at the
deadly execution of their guns and,
seeing the living strikers fleeing like
wild, and others dropping to the earth,
they went to the aid of the unfor-
Inmates whom they had brought down.

Possible Extension of the G. & :. L.

Capt. w. IL. Hardy. of Meridian, re-
Gently addressed the business men of
Natchez in the interest of the building
of the Gulf & Ship Island railroad to
Natchez. The proposition is to build
railroad from Natchcz to intersect the
Gulf & Ship Island road to MaXey June
ton, using as a link the present road
from Lumberton to MaXey Junction.
The object of Capt. iIardy's visit to
Natchez was to interest the business
men of that city in the scheme and in
duce them to subscribe $1,000 for de-
fraying the expense of a survey of the
projected road. Capt. Hardy headed
the subscription list with $500, but his
generous example failed to elicit a
single response. which indicates that
the people of Natchez are not yearning
for direct railroad connection with their
friends of the Gulf coast.

Iowa Man Buried $4,000 to Avoid Paying
AIimony to His Divorced wife.
DUBUQUE, Ia, Sept. 11.-Conrad May,
defendant in divorce suit, confessed
to the referee appointed by the court
to discover the whereabouts of his
property, that he had buried two pots
of gold valued at 500, 600 on farm in
Wisconsin to escape an execution for
the temporary alimony which the
court had allowed his wife. May was
arrested some days ago on warrant
charging that he was about TO
leave this jurisdiction to escape pay
ment of the alimony. He was brought
before Judge O'Donnell yesterday, and
rather than remain in jail for contempt
or reveal the exact hiding spot of his
treasure, proposed to dig up enough
to pay the alimony. The proposition
was accepted.

Their experience at the normals of this
