Out You Go.

New York Sun.
Aye. we've seen it. and We've read il, and
we've waited day by day,
For half a dozen diplomats and the reg
ulation way
Our friendly note Of warning, your auton-
omy next morning,
Your explosion the next evening as you
skulk and grin and lie.
We have waited We have been slow
But we'll wait no longer no.
We're on you and you devil, out you go!
For we've heard the thousands calling
whom you've slowly starved and
killed
Seen the arms that seem 10 beckon from
the graves that you have filed.
Mediation time is past. SO get ready in all
haste.
And get out with bag and baggage-take
your orders Up and start,
For were sure, though we be slow ::
And wen stand no longer, no.
We're at you, and. you devil, out you go.
The curse of man is on you for the blue
sea turning red.
The curse of God is on you for the man
eled and the dead.
Hark as you lie a-quaking, and you II
hear the storm a-breaking
And the anger of this nation comes like
thunder overhead,
And the roars of voices grow
We will bear no longer, no.
Out you bloody-IEinGed devil. out you go.

new York. June 2i.--The passage by an
overwhelming majority in the house OF
representatives of the Joint resolution for
the annexation Of Hawaii TO the United
states and the probability Of like action
In the senate. have caused a revival OF
interest in the bill to provide for tele-
graphic communication between San Fran
cisco and Honolulu, says the Washington
correspondent OF the Tribune.
Nearly everybody admits that the acquis-
ition OF Hawaii will render the establish
ment and maintenance OF such communi-
cation necessary. Interest in the project
has also been stimulated anew by the in
telligence that the Hawaiian Legislature
has granted franchise to the Pacific Cable
company to lay and maintain telegraphic
communication between that county and
japan and China. the operation of the SAID
franchise being conditioned on favorabl,
action by the congress OF the United states
within the next eighteen mouths on the
bill now pending before it.
This bill, which was reported from the
house committee on interstate and foreign
commerce BY Mr.. Benpett OF New YORK
on March s. authorizes the postmaster gem

not more than 100000 year, payable

struction and operation Of submarine
cable for the transmission of messages OF
the United States from San Francisco to
Honolulu and thence to such points on
the coasts Of Japan and China as the com
pany, with the approval of the postmaster
general. may select.
within fifteen DAYS after the approval
of the act the company must deposit with
the postmaster general s250,oo0 In United
States bonds, TO be forfeited to the United
States in case of It's failure TO enter into
and perform its contract.
The friends OF the measure are not hope
full of its passage until next session AL
though they are strongly Of the opinion
that the work Of establishing telegraphc
communication between San Francisco and
Honolulu should be begun a. soon as an
