American Independence. he said: Never
was the declaration of American independ-
ence In I776 justified before God and man
as II is by the relations and condition of
the two English speaking nations which
exist to-day. And. thanks be to God, never
we're the international relations between
the people of the two countries in a clearer
atmosphere Of unmistakable mutual good
understanding and more free from ignorant
suspicion or hostile intent than on this
Fist anniversary of American independ-
enCe.'

BEATEN BY JAP MARINES.
American Woman I'm Honolulu Set
Upon While Trying to Protect
Her brother.

Vancouver. British Columbia, July 5.-The
latest mail advices from Honolulu say that
Miss Nellie West. an American woman,
was severely beaten by two Japanese
marines from the warship Naniwa recently,
while trying to assist her brother, who had
been set upon by a number of man-of-
warsmen from the japanese navy. She
was confined to her bed next morning and
unable to appear against them. They were
charged with assault and battery. Feeling
runs high over the matter. A well known
business man knocked down three Naniwa
sailors on the street the following morning
in consequence, while American blueiaCkeTs
went hunting for the r~ingieaders. of the
japanese who made the assault. One who
was pointed out to them as being guilty
was so severely beaten by them that his
life now depends on the result of a delicate
operation.
