O'NEIl'S CASE.
His Conduct Under AFrest-The vss-
dict of the Coroner Filed Today
The Man Who Did the Shooting is
Cool and Eats and Sleeps Well,

The man John O'Neil, who shot bis
brother Dennis fatally on Monday
night, eats and sleeps well. and looks
as cheerful and unconcerned as If he
had been placed in prison for peddling
without license. He does not appear
to realize that he has committed a
Iced that may prove to be murder. or
t at he is in jeopardy.
The corner today fled his verdict in
in the case, together with the evidence
taken at the inquest vest rday morning
The statements throw no light on the
subject, beyond that the IL an Dennis
O'Neil came TO his death by means of
q gun-shot wound inflicted by his
brother, John O'Neil. The statement
of the witnesses show nothing beyond
that they had seen the affair or heard
the shots.
Nothing in the way of conversation
was heard by any of the witnesses, anc
no sign of provocation worth speaE-
ing of was noted. The case bids faii
to be an interesting one when it gets
into the hands of the grand jury. The
names Of the persons who are to COM
pose that grand jury have not as yet
been given to the public, and will not
be until they are notified by the
sheriff.

HAwAH.-The proposition to annex
Hawaii has been practically eliminated
from the war revenue bill, and will be
pressed as q separate measure in both
branches of Congress. Early action is
expected in the House.
Speaker Reed is said to have capitu-

yesterday afternoon that if the foreign
affairs committee would decide when
they want to taks the matter up, and
how much time they wish to devote to
discussion, he would no longer oppose
the adoption of a rule to regulate and
lmit debate. The only condition
which Mr.. Reed is said to have insisted
upon is that the Hawaiian resolution
shall not be considered in either House
until the war revenue bill is out of the
way, but when that measure is dis
posed of, if q majority in each House
are in favor of annexation now, he will
not attempt to thwart their designs.
