HAWAII ANNEXATION
MAJORITY or THE HOUSE COMMIT.
TEE IN IT'S FAVOR.
They Clntm " IL Not Contrary To the
Monroe Doctrine aud Would
Greatly Brneht America.

Washington. May l7.-Chairman Hit to-
day presented the majority report OF tho
house committee on foreign Affairs in favor
OF the annexation OF Hawaii by Joint reso-
luton. II states that tho proposition Is
not new to either government. For fifty
years 1t has been apparent that so small
aud 10 feeble government must be merged
with a stronger power The report states
there 10 no undue pressure on the part of
the United states as a greater power. no
surprise OF any one; no possibility OF ob-
JectionS by other governments. 10 Is simply
the obvious result OF the natural course of
events through a long period Of years. The
only question involved Is whether the pro-
posed possession Of the Hawaiian islands
would be advantageous to the United Stats,
The strategic Importance OF the Islands is
then discussed American commercial in
terosis would be promoted and annexation,
| the report says, would do away with for
| eign complications Of the islands A hries
| argument Is made upon the subject of ac-
quiring territory by legislative act and II
| iS declared that there Is nothing In the
constitution TO prevent such acquisition In
conclusion tho report says.
| THE acquisition OF these islands does no,
contravCno our National policy or trad
tions. II carries ont the Monroe doctrine
which excludes European powers frem in
| tcrfcrlng in tho American continent and
| outlylug Islands, but docs not limit the
United States ana this doctrine has been
long applied 10 these very islands by our
! government AS Secretary Blaine said In
1881, the situation of the Hawaiian Islands.
giving them strategic control OF the North
Pacific, brings their possession within the
range of questions Of purely American poll
ley.
4 THE annexation Of these islands does not
launch us upon a new policy or depart from
our time houored traditions OF caring first
and foremost for tho safety and propriety OF
the United States"

all love him. He will not send them
into any danger where he will not
go himself, and not man under

have a kind of paternal feeling for

 him. Che is that about the time or a little before the killing near Mammoth occurred he had letter from Frank, who had gone from near SteiE's Pass where he had been at work, to New Mexico to take an examination for the position of government packer. He was rejected along with all the other applicants, but went'to work in Grant county, where he was arrested.
 Captain Wall and his sons Ezra and Harry. the latter of whom lives near Phoenix, are all we'll known and highly respected here. Frank is net well known in this part of the territory He has lived in Cochise county from childhood and has been employed as a cowboy. He is .cnly 19 years old and is we'll liked wherever he is Knewn Captain Wall says he is fear less andaquiek tempered, but 9 father instinct tells him he could not be a murderer, especially the author Of such a crime as has been charged against him.
 The victims of the killing were Juan Lee, a former resident Of Tucson, and womansnamed Maria Flores. A third person was badly wounded. At the time of the tragedy it was very much cloudsd and there does not ap- pear then to have been any suspicion against Wall. What information was afterward obtained is net now known.

This big circus institution is making splendid record this season, receiv- ing nothing but words of praise from the press of every city visited. The following is taken from lengthy ar ticle which recently. appeared in the Mt. Carmel Pa-) Star: : Space alone will not permit our g.y- ing er5dit tkat is justly due to che great Wallace circus, which showed here yesterday. Fer sood, honest, conscientious work they deserve a loi of good things being said Of them The man that advertises his wares and then gives even better than he con- tracts for is a philanthropist and his name is few" and MT. Wallace can be classed among these few.
 Why go into lengthy dissertation of the individual features Of the show Their own press notices deal in that kind of goods and we know, now, that they are of a quality. just shade su- perior to what it is claimed fer them If mention must be made, the first tc demand recognition would be the Nel- son family Their act is one whols show in itself, and storms of applause greet their work. They stand unsur- passed. A close second is found in the Stirks. in their bicycle turn" Their control of the silent s;eed must be seen to be appreciated.

 The new secretary is now atYuma. Mr. Laughlin came to the territory about year ago and settled in Phoe-- nix. He qualified himself for a law yer and is member of the Mariccpa county bar.

THE MAMMOTH KILLING.
The Accused PerSon is a Son of
 Capt. W. ". Wall Of phOenix.

Frank Wall, whose arrest on z charge Of double murder near Man. moth couple of nths ago was de- soriEed in a sp1 dispatch from Wilcox to The Republican yesterday morning, is son q Captain W. w. Wall Of Phoenix.
 Captain Wall yesterday received a letter from another son, Ezra w. Wall writing from Wilcox, where his brother was then in custody awaiting removal to Florence. He writes his father not to be alarmed. The case is not nearly so serious as has been re- ported. The writer has no doubt of his brothers innocence and says the case against him rests wholly on sus- picion. The letter and the dispatch in The Republican afforded Captain Wall the first information regarding the case. In fact, the letter does not de- scribe the nature of the charge, but simply states that Frank is in a little trouble" He has so much confidence in his son Ezra's representation that he is not apprehensive of the result, though he is naturally grieved and an- noyed that circumstances should have arisen to lead up to the charge. He sent word yesterday that he would hurry to his sons assistance. He will leave for Florence at once 50 as to meet hisss on his arrival there. The preliminary examination will take place at Casa Grande tomorrow.
 There are other reasons why the cap tain does not believe that Frank Wall committed the crime charged against

ali the principals took the liberty of Introducing one CT more songs. ali 0f which wsTe well received. The hit of 1he evening. however. was q song sung by Mir Feleh in the last act. which had for it's refrain Remember. Boys. the Mains.' This song. which was by no means predentious as viewed from a literary standpoint, quickly caught the popular feeling, and cheer upon cheer loud and long followed the compile tion of each stanza- In fact it is years since the Grand Opera house has wit messed such an outburst of popular en- thusiasm. MT. Felch was recalled again and again, and upon one of these numerous recalls some one snatched one of i.he small flags used in the gal lery decorations and threw it upon the stage. This was followed by deafen- ing cheers, and as the singer, picking up the flag, held it aloft while he again sang the last stanZa and the refrain, the enthusiasm was boundless, many rising out of their seats and cheering wildly.
