PETTIoREw's STRONG POINTS.

Senator Pettigrew devoted himself
largely to the administration of Presi-
dent Dole, showing how the govern.
ment of Queen Lilioukalani had been
overthrown, and to a presentation OF
his views of this governments partici-
patton in the revolution.
He contended that the downfall OF
the queens government was due to

conspiracy on the part of Minister
Stevens representing the United
States, and a few citizens of Honolulu,
of whom President Dole was one, who
were backed by the marines from a
United States battlrship. He argued
that at that time there was no armed
force on the island opposed to the
queens government except the United
States marines, land" said the sena-
tor, IF the islands were as rich as the
dream of avarice and their acquisition
as desirable as that of Louisiana, we
could not take title from a govern
ment set up by ourselves without sub
hitting the question of annexation to
vote of the Hawaiian people. To do
this" he continued with emphasis,
would be an international crime
which would place us on level with
Great Britain in her subsection of
the weak nations of the earth; and
which would be an abandonment of
the position that has been the policy
Of our government since it's earliest
history"

PETER BROWN KILLED.
Assassinated by a Burglar in His Store at
Salt Lake City.


Salt Lake City, Feb. 16-About 5
o'clock this morning, desperate muir
der occurred at the corner of Second
East and Fifth South streets, a grocer
named Peter Brown being shot dead.
Apparently he had been aroused by
two burglars breaking pane of glass
in the window of his store, and came
out of his sleeping room in the rear OF
the store and opening into it, he was
in his night clothes and proba bly, had
his pistol in his hand, as the weapon
was found in front of him, with one
chamber empty
Ray Croxall, who lives next door,
heard firing; there were two or three
shots. After the firing young Croxall
heard two men come out, get into
light wagon and drive away. He gave
the alarm and n number of police Off.
GERS hurried to the scene. They found
Browns body lying in the store, shot
through the heart; the shot must have
been at very close range for the cloth
ing was powder-burnt. His murderer
was probably behind the counter; he
had apparently risen upon Brown and
shot him at close range.

Wrote Insultingly of President Mckinley
and Resigned.

Washington, Jan. 14.-There are no
late developments in the DeLome case,
and his successor has not yet been
named. A note from Minister Wood
ford concerning some manifestations
that the minister's conduct is not ap-
proved by the Spanish government is
demanded, but there is no thought as
to the manner in which the offending
minister shall go-by resignation or
summary recall The important fea-
ture is that he shall no longer repre-
sent the Spanish government.
The offense with which DeLome is
charged, and which he refuses to deny,
is in letter written to a friend in
Cuba in which he said President Nc
Kinley was low politician and ca
tered to the worst elements in Ameri-
can politics, receiving his ideas from
jingoes. In some manner the letter
fell into the hands of the Cuban lead
ers in New York and was given to the
press. The letter was written ten
days ago and was first published last
Friday Its genuineness was doubted
at first in official circles, or at least
thought some mistake had been made
in translation. DeLome, however,
admitted its authorship
by sending his resignation by cable
to the government at Madrid. The
incident has been of no particular ben
eft to the cause of Spain in official
circles, and has been the cause of
an awakening of the friends of Cuba

this city of fifty-five representatives of
textile unions in New England, il was
unanimously voted to recommend that
all unions call out the operatives in

nrged the different unions to unite on
some settled policy on the mill situa-
ton in New England. A committee
OF four was appointed TO take charge

Train Robbers Foiled by a Lady.

CHICAGO, Jan 10.-Two men who
last night tried to rob Conductor War
rem Simonton, of Blue Island ave-
nue. cable train, were foiled by pas
senger named Miss Sadie Williams.
Besides Miss Williams there were
three other passengers-another wo-
man and two men-and the gripman.
Neither the male passengers nor the
gripman came to the help Of the con-
ductor, who was having a desperate
fight with the robbers inside the car.
Just as the robbers we're getting the
best of the fight she concluded to take
hand. Grabbing her long hat pin
that fastened her hat to her hair, she
made a plunge with the pin on the
robber nearest her. All her strength
was lent to the thrust, and the man
screamed with pain. He released his
hold on the conductor and turned on
Miss Williams. She stuck him again
and he quit the fight. Miss Williams
went for the next man, and she made
thrust for his eyes. The point of
the pin struck the cheek.
'sTake her off," cried the robber.
He turned to look for his companion,
who by that time was on the platform
making ready to jump. Hewas asked
to come back, but he did not. Mean
time the young woman was striking
for more vital parts than his face.
She reached her pin for his stomach.
His thick clothing saved his life.
The conductor was then bleeding and
il half-da7ed condition. When he
came to his senses there were but two
persons On the car. The other pas
sengers, whose names could not be
learned, had gone. So had the rob-
bers.
When the excitement was over and
the robbers had disappeared behind
some buildings. Miss Williams re-
placed her hat and then asked the
conductor if he was hurt. He was
not. Then she tainted. She was
soon revived, however, aud escorted
to her home.
Miss Williams resides with her pa
rents andis employed as an amanuenis
in one of the downtown Offices. She
is small in figure, but it is said that
she has the courage of soldier.

said my teacher in very quiet tone,

say.

it seasoned me. In less than month,
I had the most intense sense Of intel

defend my rccitations.
Gone day his cold, calm voice fell
upon me in the midst Of demonstra-
tion, 'No!'
II hesitated and then went back to
the beginning: and on reaching the
same point again Not uttered in a
tone of conviction, barred my progress.

"'Why didn't you say Yes, and
