How Honolulu Heard the News of An
nexation.

San Francisco. July 27.-The steamer
Mariposa has arrived from Australia
and Honolulu, bringing the following
correspondence to the Associated
Press:
Honolulu, July 2O.-The steamship
Coptic arrived from San Francisco IN
the evening of the 18th inst, with the
important news that the United States
senate had ratified the Newlands reso-
luton, making Hawaii a part Of the
United Sttaes. Long before the vessel
reached the harbor it was known that
the steamer brought annexation news,
the information being signaled t o the
Mohican. On the city front and in the
city proper the people were simply wild
with enthusiasm. Steam whistles were
turned loose, men shouted and cheered
until they could do so no longer. there
was general handshaking and con
CALCULATIONS everywhere. The first an
nexation news was telephoned to Min
lister Sewell and the executive building
from the Mohican. Men on the war
ship read the signals from the Coptic
and Immediately gave the informal
ton.
AS soon as the news was received up
town the fire whistle was turned on.
whistles OF foundries, mills and steam
ers in the harbor were turned loose and
pandemonium reigned. Fireworks were
set off. In the midst Of the noise 100
guns were fired on the grounds Of the
executive building.
President Dole was at his beach
home when the steamer was sighted.
He hurried into town and reached the
wharf as the steamer tied up.
Captain Sealby OF the Coptic was pre-
sented with a silver cup by the citizens
of Honolulu for bringing the ews The
presentation took place on boar the
deck OF the Coptic. The cup was a mas
sive one. handsomely engraved. 1t
bore the inscription:
Annexation. Presented by the citi-
zens to Captain Inman Sealby. r. N.
R.. who brought the good news to Hon.
.olulu."
The people here have decided not to
have any formal annexation celebra-
ton until the Philadelphia and Admiral
Miller arrive with the flag.
The leading men of Honolulu met
today and recommended Harold NJ.
Sewell. United States minister to Ha-
wall, as their choice for governor Of
the islands. 1t was generally thought
that President Dole would be appoint

popular feeling. as represented at the
meeting today, Sewell will be the mar

VALUABLE BEETLE AT LARGE.
1t Is Pierced With a biologists 5000
Diamond Pin.

Chicago, July 27.-Jesse P. Van
Doozer, former captain of the North
western university football team, and
at present assistant postmaster at
Evanston, has sacrificed a diamond
scarf pin, valued at $500, to his like for
practical studies in zoology. He was
returning from a summer party at the
country club when he saw a beetle. It
was a large. many coloHed bug, and Mr..
Van Doozer wanted 1t, and after a
chase captured 1t, taking 1t home.
There was no box to put the beetle in,
so Mr.. Van Doozer stuck the bug to
the wall with his diamond pin. BY the
time the football player was prepared
to retire he discovered that his captive
had escaped and was flying about the
room with the pin glistening from Its
back. Van Doozer and the bug made q
dive for the window at the same mo-
ment, but the bug got there first and is
now roaming ebout the country with
a diamond pin stuck In its back like
a lamp post on a hill.

More than 80 years ago Lachlan Nc
Donald left his home in Stratlspcy,
Scotland, and went TO the shores of Lake
Winnipeg. He did not neglect to carry
with him his beloTed bagpipe, and many
an evening it spike to him of the old
home beyond the seas.
Even in the daytime, when no was
busy i'll the woods telling trees, he
would have it by his side, and on one
occasion he had reason to be glad that
it was so near.
He was mcrrily swimming bis as,
when he was suddenly surrounded by q
party of Indians, who looked very for

manner Things began to seem omirous.
when n happy thought came to the
Scotchman.
Selling his bagpipe, he blew a blast
so loud and long and shrill that the
startled red men looked upon HIM for u
moment i'll CONSERVATION and thun took
to their heels, never stopping till the
thick shadows of the forest hid them
from the man who could give vent to
such an uneartlly scream.
They did not forget that prolonged
cry; from that time the Scotchman Wa
known among them as 1.-The great

Yes, the strength of grizzly bears Is
almost beyond belief. Ihavc read about
the powerful muscles in the arms of
African gnrillas, but none can compare
with those i'll the arms and shoulders of
big grizzly bears. l have seen "a grizzly
bear with one fore paw shot into useless.
ness pull its own l, 100 pounds of meat
and Il up precipices and perform
feats Of muscle hat trained athletes
could not do. have seen grizzly bears
carrying thecarcasses of pigs that must
ave weighed 20 pounds several miles
across a mountain side to their lair,
and l have heard hunters tell of having
seen cows knocked down as if by .
thunderbolt with one blow of the fore
paw Of q bear.
Three summers ago l spent the season
in the coast mountains up i'll Monterey
county, and ont moonlight night | saw
a big grizzly bear i'll the act of carrying
a dead cow home to her cub. I had a
position on the mountain side where
could see every movement of the bear in
the sparsely timbered valley below me.
The ~critter carried the dead cow in her
fore paws for at least three miles, across
jagged, sharp rocks ten feet high, over
fallen logs, around the rocky mountain
sides, where ever u jackass could not
get a foothold, to a narrow trail up the
steep mountain. She never stopped to
rest for a moment, but went right along.

northern Wisconsin show him man
Of ready resources such as the state
executive ought to be.
8. Gov. scofield is big enough man
to admit mistakes in his own party
whenever made and to correct abuses
as soon as he discovers them to be
such. The custom of paying sal
aries to state employees before they
were due was an abuse. 1t was
practiced during Scofield's term. The
governor does not deny it. It also
hourished under the administration
of his predecessors of both political
parties. As soon as the real nature
of the custom came to the governors
knowledge he put an end to it in
short order. For this he is entitled
to support.
9. The private life of Governor
Scofeld is an open book on which
there is no blot. He is best loved
ana respected where he is best known
This fact speaks volumes for the gov
ernor, for it is in mans daily life
and among his intimate associates
that his real character is revealed
Governor Scofield's election is as
sured as certainly as any political
event can be foretold. 1t is reported
however that he is to be cut in Grant
and other counties of the LaFollette
stronghold. This ought net to be
done. No good can come to the Re
publicans in Grant county, to LaEol-
lette or his friends by such a course.
Grant holds proud place in the
sisterhood of counties of Wisconsin
and can't afford to jeopardize her good
reputation by showing a sulky dis
position toward any candidate, most
If all toward the head of the ticket.

people for it IS from the people that
officials are chosen.
We have little practical expert
ence with this referendum humbug
in the banking bin that is to be voted
on this fall. The peoples voting on
this bill viii cost the county over
$500 and it is safe to say that not one
voter in three will give the bill suiiic-
tent study to vote intelligently on it.
The result no matter which way It
goes will be no more satisfactory
than if the members of the legislature
had assumed the responsibility Of
passing or killing the measure. What
do we elect Legislators for if not to
determine questions OF legislation?
This one clause about referendum
alone ought to defeat Wisconsin de-
mocracy this year

we has prevailed for many years both
IN Democratic and Republican admin

ments from the state treasury on ac-
count Of salaries Of officers and en-
ployees, and we insist that such
practice shall absolutely cease. and
that no moneys be paid out Of the
treasury for any purpose otherwise
than in strict conformity to law.
The existence Of the lobby at the
seat of government during the session
OF the Legislature to control legisla-

that should be abolished by law.
