A Fair Race.
A BIcyclist and Two SprInters--The
WheeImen Finished Last.-Distance
Seconds.

A BIcyclist and Two SprInters--The
WheeImen Finished Last--Distance
100 Yards---Time. About 10 IL
Seconds.
The race announced in last Fridays
Phoenix between Daniel Campbell, runner,
of L. g. and c. +. Towards haI dware
store, and Harley Chandler bicyclst, EN-
ployed by the F. B. F. Grocery company,
came off about $50 at the upper end of At
kinson street.
\ crowd of 200 or 800 people gathered
in that part of the town and there was
very little delay, as the contestants APP
peared in their uniforms promptly at the
time announced.
Frank Upham acted as starter and c. S.
Sherwin was referee and timekeeper.
Lawrence Conner pushed off Chandler, who
was on a bicycle. At the last moment it
was decided by Campbell to settle another
dispute at the same time and G. II. Rich,
also employed by the F. B. f. Grocery
company, came out in a uniform and ten
yards were measured from the starting
point, which handicap Campbell had agreed
to give Rich in 100-yard dash.
When the report of the pistol sounded
Campbell got away in the manner of pro-
fessional runner, Rich was a little slow in
leaving the ten-yard line, while Chandler
was altogether at sea for the first 80 yards
His wheel wabbled from side to side and he
just began to gain control when half the
distance was covered 1t was as pretty a
race as one would wish to see between Rich
and Campbell, the latter closing up the
handicap very well and finishing only
about a foot behind the other runner
Chandler also did some very swift pedal
ing, as he was less than four yards behind
the runners when the finish was reached
The time, unfortunately, was not taken,
as Mr.. Sherwin was unable to stop the
watch when the runners touched the tape.
1t is thought that the time must be under
| II seconds and some say it seemed fast
enough for 10 l-2 clip.
There was no purse up on the race and
very few bets were made, for the reason
that the relative speed of the two contest
ants was an unknown quantity. Perhaps
too, some of the usual betters were feeling
little timid after the disastrous affair OF
Saturday last.

VIEWS Of THE GOVERNORS

Governor Leedy Gives Good Reasons

The New York Herald has obtained
the views of the various State govern
ors upon annexation. The great ma
iority favor the ratification of the
treaty. Among the executives who
treaty. Among the executives who
have spoken in that strain are the fol-
lowing:
Topeka. Kans.-I believe the Hawa-
iian Islands should be annexed by the
United States for these reasons: With
in n short time, perhaps not more than
forty years, canal will be built across
the Isthmus of Panama This canal
should be controlled and governed by
the United States. The nation having
command of these Islands will have
possession of the key to the Pacific oce-
an from a maritime standpoint. We
do not know what the naval architect
ure of the future will be, but at pres
ent the best vessels we have are so
heavily armored they can carry only
enough coal to keep at sea for a short
time, and it is absolutely essential TO
provide harbors of refuge and coaling
stations within reasonable distances.
Ny belief is if we allow Hawaii to
slip out of our fingers now, within fiji
ty years our necessities would compel
us to fight to gain possession of the
Islands, and. therefore. it seems to me
to be good policy to get them while we
can, in peace. In my Judgment it
will be no departure from the Monroe
doctrine, as these Islands are on this
continent and adjacent to our shores,
and it would certainly be follow to al
low any European nation to take pos
session of and fortify them. which now
seems likely to be the case, if we per-
NIT the opportunity to pass.

Electric
Com

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
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 l
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.

REVOLVING TURRET FOR COAST DEFENSE,
revolving
placed

Senators Frye and Lodge, also
earnest advocates of annexation, were
among the Presidents visitors, and
to each the chief executive spoke OF
the imperative necessity Of action by
Congress.
1t cannot be said that the President
has in his mind i" a dream OF empire"
for the United States as a result OF the
war with Spain, but it is said by close
friends that there is dawning upon
him the fact that the opportunity for
extending the great commercial inter
ests of the United States is one which
may not come again in another CEN
fury, and which. if passed now, may
be regretted.
The annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands is one step in direction which
the President believes will be salts
factory to the entire country. This
step taken, there will be advocates OF
the permanent possession Of the Phil
ippines, or at least of so much Of the
islands as may insure to the United
States coaling and trading facilities
in Asia. Stretching from the orient
to the great western hemisphere will
be the flag of Uncle Sam, with cable
lines connecting all he owns, and with
hundreds of merchant ships plodding
the waters of the Pacific carrying the
things made and grown here. This
is the imaginary picture affecting
that side of the earth and being pre-
scented to the President by active and
vigorous minds.
Then there is another picture which
has been SET before him and many
others. This is the limited posses
sion OF Cuba. the full possession Of
Port Rico and the Canaries, three
pearls between the old and new world,
which will add riches to America and
enlargement Of our share of the
worlds trade.
The President, with his years of
study OF commercial matters, realizes
that the worlds struggle today is for
trade and business. He wants to see
shrewd Uncle Sam hold his own in
that struggle if possible, to surpass
any other nation of the earth. Wheth-
er the President, with these broad
ideas OF the future, is willing to amend
tradition is a matter of which his
closest friends refuse to talk. He is

authorities have become deeply averse
to any cooperation with the insur-
gents, holding the view that the
American army should act with com
plete independence, so as to be free
to face whatever situation may arise
after the Spanish are expelled. To
President Mckinley alone is due the
escape of this country from the fatal
blunder Of recognizing the insurgents
as belligerents, and for this every
thinking American today is profound
ly grateful. Again there was origin
ally no intention OF bombarding or
Selling Porto Rico. Admiral Samp-
sous bombardment was failure: II
should have been sooner and final or
not at all. That mistake is not to be
repeated. aud the second Spanish
fleet will not find base there. More
ever, nobody could have foreseen the
extraordinary change of public opin-
ion after Admiral Dewey's victory.

Just thirty-seven years ago,
And my hair was not yet gray.
We heard that the troops were coming,

The first blood of the civil war

But what saw today, my friends,
As the Sixth passed In review,
And the welcome they received,
I can hardly think 1t true.
They were not hailed with bullets;
They were met another way
Cheers on cheers Oh, I'll meier forget
This twenty-first of May.
They were greeted all along the line;
Cheered loud by the one-time foes,
And the ex-rebs sealed the contrast
Beneath showers of the rose.
They wished the gallant Sixth Godspeed;
Oh, so MANY things were done
That well effaced the memories
OF the row of sixty-one.
They hoped to see them safely back,
