day Evening.
Owing to many other couater at
fractions the attendance ou Satur-
day evening at the Hagey Club So
cial, was not as large as anticipated,
but it was one Of the best and most
varied soirees yet given.
Secretary r, S. Scrimgeour pre-
sided as Sire OF the High Jinks with
tact, merry ability aud timely topics
that won for him the warmest ap-
proval. He was very apt too in dis
covering latent talent among the
modest members OF the Club,
Among those who assisted in max
ing the evening a most enjoyable
one with music, songs, recitations
aud brief addresses were Messrs.
Alexander Young, President OF the
Board of Directors of the Hagey In
stitute, Of which the Club is au off
shoot, H., Berger, j. w. Yarndley,
@. D. Helms, Vincent Hughes, A. l..
Morris, @. H. White, Vggo Jacob

r. HOWE, Walter Brash, j. X Ste
wait, W. Coelho, Horace Wright,
aud several others.
Vice President Mehrtens had
beautifully and tastefully arranged
the pretty club rooms and lanais
with lovely ferns and potted plants.
A successful innovation much APP
preciated was the introduction of
cooling beverages, which at the next
social will probably be supplement
ed with light refreshments.
1t was pleasantly remembered
that on June I'd, Professor Berger,
who was one Of the kindliest OF visi-
tors, would celebrate his 25th ami.

to "ieelingly" respond to the greet

MUN1 L go, is a well
known saying. We have some
thing that will make the sorriest
old nag ever hitched to a wagon
go at regular racing gait and
for very little money at that.
Our CARRIAGE WHIPS can
be had in almost any quality
and price, from 81 to $3.50. We
have still a good stock of CART
AND BUGGY HARNESS to
suit the purse Of anybody we sell
frst-class harness for $16 and
the "there are others" better in
quality, at $25, $50 and $35.
Young men like to take their
best girl out for a drive, and the
beautiful moonlight nights we
are just now enjoying, invite
amorous swains to go incoming
with their lady loves.
We have a dandy looking DOG
CART that is just the thing for
drive around the park; it is
easy riding, comfortable, with
plenty Of room for two. 1t is
the only one Of its kind in
Honolulu, and as we are not in
the carriage business, we do not
intend to get any more, so you
do not run the risk Of having
the same style as everybody else.
Will be sold very cheap.

Be Complies with England's Demand
to Repeal the immigration Law.
Pretoria, May 6.-The Volksraad
held a prptracted secret session yes
terday to discuss the answer to be
made to the dispatches of the Bri-
tish Secro tary OF State for the Colo
nies, which demanded repeal OF
the Trausvaal immigration law
passed last November. To-day the
Volksraad repealed the law, not be-
cause it was breach OF the London
Convention, but because it was dis
tasteful to neighboring state. Mr..
Coster, the Transvaal State Attor-
ney, has rendered his resignation in
disapproval of the repeal.
The position taken by Mr.. Cham
berlain was stated in his despat ch
to Lord Rosemead, the British High
Commissioners at the Cape, under
date of Dec. l, 1896, He said: "In-
form the Government OF the South
African Republic that Her Msjesty's

Gle IA Of the London Convention,
admit that the Government OF the
South African Republic has a
right OF expelling or restricting for
eigners who are not shown to have
conformed to the laws OF the Re-
public, and that Her Majesty's Gov
ernment reserves the right OF OBJ
jecting to proceedings under the
act which may amount to a breach
OF the Convention"

"You will state that Her Majesty's

WAR, NOT PEACE.

In the Outlook, for April 24h, is
an article on "The Decline OF the
Senate" from which we copy tho
following: x "When one re-
members the position Of United
States Senator, his responsibilitieg,
his opportunities, and the history
OF the body to which he belongs, it
is depressing in the last degree to
read speeches so piti'ully narrow in
their conceptions Of the place and
destiny OF great nation as those
which the Senate has listened to,
day after day and month
after month, from such men
as Senators Morgan aud Stewart
Senator Morgan has been especially
a notorious offender in this respect.
Charged with the interest of great
nation he has continually struck the
chords OF the most bigoted national
feeling The uureasoning and I'M
reasonable animosity to England
which has characterized his endless
talk has been unworthy of leader
in public life; it has had the tone
and intelligence of a passionate
schoolboy, 1t is the belief and the
prayer of those who think they
know American society well that
Senator Morgan does not represent
American sentiment. The country
is too large and the Nation too great
to be animated by such boyish and
irrational animosities. The United
States Senate ought to represent
broad, intelligent, statesmanlike
conceptions. 1t ought to treat pub
lie affairs in a generous, noble spirit,
as BELTS intercourse between great
countries. 1t has treated them for
the past two years as the local legis-
lature of petty province might
treat them. Instead OF calm, dis
passionate argument, it has iudulg-
ed in aamboyaut defamation. If
such talk as that which has wasted
the time Of the Senate during the
past two sessions were heard in the
House of Lords, it would DO heard
with derision. If the members Of
that body were to get up day after
day and declaim France in the
spirit Of the last century, they would
be laughed out Of the House, and
they would deserve to be laughed
out of it, Yet this is precisely the
tone which men like Senators Nor
gan aud Stewart have taken. Arbi-
tration, Tor instance, has been call
ed 'the American principle The
opportunity to espouse it was un-
quetionably the greatest opportun-
ity to introduce a new principle into
the public life Of the modern world
which has yet come to this country.
All defamation about sympathy
with an oppressed people is idle
while we, in a narrow and provincial
spirit, refuse to take one step which
would have more to do, in its ulti-
mate consequences, with freeing
Europe from the burdens and bond
age of militsrism than any other sin
gle thing. Messrs. Morgan, Stewart
and their confreres have dealt the
common people Of Europe a trem-
endous blow, and one does not need
to be q prophet to predict the
opinion which the future will hold
OF their failure to understand the
greatest opportunity of republican
ism in modern times" y Il

Friday Night.
The Bimetallic League held a very
important session last night in their
hall. The meeting was entirely devOt-
ed TO business matters and matters of
a general nature were not brought up,
but deferred until the next meeting.
The report of the general committee in
regard to matters connected with the
hall-such as rent. janitOr, books, pa
pers. etc-was reported and adopted.
The matter of honorary membership to

ferred to the executive committee, who

the duties of the Office. The executive
committee is called to meet at eight
o'clock Friday night to attend to this
and other business intrusted TO its

Council Bringing Its Reform Career TO
Close in Fitting Style-Only One Third
the Members Pres mt Last Evening.
The reform Council is going out OF
office with colors flying.
1t was called to meet last evening IN
adjourned session, for the consldera-
ton of miscellaneous business, which
included the consideration of the build
ing ordinance, which has been before
the body for nearly twenty months,
and which has cotton as far as one
reading in one Branch.
In response to the call six members
of the First Branch appeared out OF
sixteen. and nine members of the Sec
ond Branch out twenty-eight, and as
a matter of course nothing whatever
was done. and at twenty-five minutes
after eight o'clock both bodies ad-
journed.
This settles the last chance the build
inc ordinance had. and the last oppor-
tunity the present Council has for max
ING a grand-stand play before the cleo
ton. The body will hold one more
regular session, next Tuesday evening,
but that will be confined to strictly rou-
tine matters of business
Thus will end an official body which
came into office with the intention OF
working miracles. performing feats of
legerdemain, and indulging in lofty
tumbling and other acrobatic acts for
the edificatiOn of the public. The pub

RETAIL GROGERS
Taking steps to Form a state Organization.
Circulars Sent Out

Taking steps to Form state Organization
Circulars Sent out.
A movement has been started by the
local Retail GrCcers' Association to
form a State organization of the same
nature and for the same purpose. ).
c. Strobe, secretary Of the Grocers
Protective Association. of Wheeling
has sent circulars and cards to various
retail grocers througout the State ask
ing them to attend the State cOnVen-
ton of grocers to be held in Wheeling
some time in June. A large number
of responses have been received and
there is every assurance that the move
ment will be success. An attempt
was made to form such an organization
in 1895. but failed because II was start
ed too late in the year. There was no
effort made last year on account or the
political campaign. Mr.. StrObel COM
menced this year early. and there Is
nothing TO prevent an organization OF
the grocers of the State being effected.
1t will be formed on the same basis as
the local organization, which was
started in Wheeling in 1883. The prin-
cipal object of this association was for
the purpose of mutual protection OF the
grocers from those who abuse the
credit system and make a practice of
beating grocerymen generally out of
bills. This is the greatest evil with
which the retail dealer has to deal with
to-day. and protective organization has
been made necessary. Over fifty local
grocers belong to the Wheeling asso-
citation. and the object of forming a
State association is to extend the sys-
tenn so that the members may know
whether customers moving from place
to place have a reputation of paying
their bills. The local association meets
next Wednesday to decide upon the
date in June. and the place Of holding
their convention. 1t will last two days,
and will very likely be held at Wheeling
Park. as the last annual meeting was
held at Mozart Park. Mr.. Strobel is
also preparing a history of the Wheel
ing Grocers Association, which will
contain a picture and biographical
sketch of each member. a large num-
Der Of copies of this will be printed for
distribution.

WAGON, Ytste day Afternoon.
A terrific collision between a buck
ster's wagon and a b. q o. passenger
train occurred about four o'clock yes
terday afternoon at Chapline and Thir-
ty-Second streets. known as Ford
crossing. j. w. Smith, huckster, from
Louisville. Belmont county, Ohio, was
driving south on Chapline street and
ATTEMPTED TO get across the track just
as the gatekeeper began to lower the
gates for the south-bound passenger
train. No. 46 lie got through the first
gate safely. but the south gate caught
the front end of his wagon. Almost
simultaneously the train going at
moderate speed struck the front part
of the wagon and dragged the horses,
driver and wagon from the west side
of Chapline street east for about forty
feet. The engineer Immediately re-
versed the engine and it came 10 a
standstill about ten feet east of Chap
line street. The horses were thrown
up against the billboard south of the
track. and they and the driver escap-
ed totally unhurt. 1t was a miraculous
escape. The front end of the wagon
was badly demolished, including The
top. bed and both wheels Besides con-
siderable butter the wagon contained
about so dozen of eggs. The stuff was
all destroyed, and the street, wagon
and railroad track were covered with
a thick spread of yellow egg juice.
