The defendant having claim for unliqui-
dated damages against railway company, he
and plaintiff entered into a contract by which
the paint1H, who was a stranger to both the
defendant and the claim was to employ an
attorney and institute a suit in the name
OF the defendant for the collection Of the

pensaton for his services plaintiff was to

SUCCEED AT LAST.
After Two Attempts the Assassins
Killed Their Man.

Senior j. Idiarte Borda, President of
Uruguay, who was assassinated re-
Gently at Montevideo had been elected
for the term extending from March,
1894, to 1898. The fete at which he
was assassinated was being held in
celebration of the independence of Ur-
uguay, which was achieved on August
25,. 1925.
At the time of Senior Borda's cleo
ton he belonged to the official party
and was elected by very narrow ma,
jority. The people, it was said, were
sadly disappointed at the result, bur
order and quiet were maintained. The
leading papers of . Uruguay deplored
the election of Senior Borda and de-
clared that it marked "A reaction in the
country's progress.
Later President Borda issued proc,
lamation to the effect that his admin
istration would conduct the business
of the state in the interest of the en-
tire nation, and that he would invite
the assistance of all political parties
to that end. This proclamation made
IA very favorable impression.
An attempt was made to assassinate
the president on the afternoon of
April 81 last. The President escaped
without injury, and the criminal was
captured. On that occasion the presi-
dent accompanied by his aid, Lieuten-
ant Colonel Turrene, had been horse
back riding. just as he dismounted
in front of the Government palace a
youth approached him and drew a pis'
tol. Before the trigger could be pull.
ed Lieutenant Colonel Turrene struck
the arm of the would be assassin and
the ball passed over the presidents
head.
Another attempt to assassinate him
was made on May Goth, when he re-
ceived a bomb sent to him from la
Plata, Argentine 1t was in boX. and
so arranged that it would explode
when opened. Fortunately suspicion
was aroused and the box was turned
over to the police and destroyed.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-09-14

The following translation of an ar
ticle from the Luso is given as showing
the attitude of that paper and the des-
perate efforts it is making to turn the
Portuguese colony against annexation.
The arguments are on the face of
them fallacious and The Star is given
to understand from competent Portu-
guese authority that they have little
or no weight with the bulk of the Pdr-
tuguese, who thoroughly believe in
annexation. The article is as follows,
and is headed
ALREADY WE KNOW THEM.
Some of our countrymen appear
surprised at the attitude of this jour
nal with relation to the annexation of
Hawaii. and not only our attitude but
also that of different members of the
colony, who like us. during the last
four years have studied the situation
and arrived at the same conclusion.
Knowing this fact, the foreigners
most interested. have latterly employ
ed different means to convince some
of our countrymen not only by argu-
ments, but by representations less
worthy of gentlemen. AS to that
number of incautious countrymen
who do not comprehend the situation,
we merely remind them that the per-
sons who technically fight for anneXa
ton without any conditions which
may assure to us the privileges to
which we have a right, are the same
who caused some of our innocent fell
low countrymen to be thirty days be-
hind the lars of jail after the En-
ma street riot.
The question is simple and if they
were sincere in their promises, they
ought to answer it without circumlo-
cution-what is the reason that in the
Treaty of Annexation which has lust
been ratified by the Senate of Hawaii
the condition is not reversed. that the
lIawaiians, Portuguese and other Eu-
ropean voters shall obtain the same
privileges as any other American citi-
Zens?
If perchance. the annexation should
be consummated, which we doubt. the
Portuguese colony as a political fac
tor ceases to exist. because in the for
eign press, both here and in the Unit
ed States, it has been indicated with
sufficient clearness that they fear the
influence of the Portuguese vote in
case this privilege should be conceded
to them.
Independence and good govern.
ment of Hawaii means prosperity for
the colony, but annexation without
the privileges which we speak OF
means Ruin!
Commenting upon the meeting OF
the Senate, the Luso said:
AS we previously gave notice. the
Senate of the Republic of Hawaii was
convened on the Sth inst, and in con,
sequence of the death of Mr. G.. Rhodes
former member and president of the
Legislature, adjourned to the next day
and in this session in less than the
short space of two hours was unani-
mously ratified the convention which
cedes Hawaii to the United States, not
only with all the mercantile property
with doubtful title, but also tying up
the privileges which about 5000 vot-
ers of the Portuguese colony enjoy
and have enjoyed, and which can only
he recovered if the Congress. of the
United States from sense of Justice
and equity shall concede to us the
privileges to which we have a right.
The session was closed on the 10th
day. to be convened again next March
in the regular session.

in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and l take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

HOMELESS MR.. CAMPBELL.
He Can't Vote in Stafford and He
Can't Vote in Topeka.

Railroad Commissioner Campbell has
been Inundated again by going out to
Stafford county to visit his home, intend
ing also to vote at the election tomor-
row.
Last summer Mr.. Campbell attended
the Populist county convention and he
was referred to in resolution demanding
him to appear before the convention and
explain his position on the railroad ques-
ton as the gentleman from Topeka.
Mr.. CampbelPs latest trouble comes
from the Republicans and he will be pre-
vented from voting tomorrow He ar
rived in Topeka today, probably the mad
dest man that ever got off Santa Fe
train in Topeka
When he removed to Topeka from Stat
ford county Mr.. Campbell leased his farm
to his Son-in-laW for two years and told
the young man if he did the right thing
by him, possession OF the farm would re-
main with him indefinitely. The Repub-
HcanS found that Mr.. Campbell had made
such a statement, and he did not deny 1t.
The opposition thereupon threatened to
challenge his vote should he attempt to
cast it and they made such a fuss about
it that Mr. Campbell returned to Topeka.
I am in a worse fix than the men who
are in the Soldiers home" said Mr.. Camp
bell today They can go home to vote.
but the fellows out in Stafford county
have made me believe I have no home
anywhere. 1 guess that's right, too, be-
cause did not register in Topeka.
