Prof. Herman Won Hoist, Of Chicago. in
speaking to the Commercial Club, of TIA
city, gainst the annexation Of the Ha-
waiian Islands, undermined his own posi-
tiOn very neatly, and left the matter as
though he ha d never spoken at all. He said
at the outset that the possession Of the
islands would tax us for their defense.
But he could not stop there; he had TO tell
why, If we did not tSOrb them. other ma
tions would let them alone The reason
was that We would fight TO preserve the
independence Of the islands Now. the
difference between fighting for our own

HAVENEYER A SUICIDE.
Shoots Himself Last Night
With a Revolver--No
Motive Shown.

NEW YORK, May 10, 1S98.-Charles F.
Havemeyer. son of the late Theodore
Havemeyer, shot and killed himself last
night at his home in Roslyn. l.. L. His
wife and two children were in the house
at the time. One shot was fired, the bull
let passing through the young mans
head. The young wife found her husband
lying in a pool of blood, with a smoking
revolver by his side. Her shr.eks sum
moned servants, who ran for a physician.
Before the doGor's arrival, however,
Havemeyer WIS dead. The motive for
the suicide could not be ascertained. The
suicide was only t~hir;y-fve years old. It
was acknowledged at the office of the
sugar mpa today that the young
man was dead, and that is all they would
say.
Mr.. Havemeyer had been to New York
during the day and a seen several
friends. Shortly before the occurrence
he had been playing with his little boy,
apparently in his usual good spirits.
IEere had been nothing in his manner
that day or previously, nor had he ever
made a remark, that would give rise to
the suspicion that this act was premedi-
tated or Intentional.
The Coroner was sent for, who i'm
panelled a jury, and, after a thorough
investigation, a verdict was rendered that
MIR. tHavemeyer came to his death by the
and that there was no evidence to show
that 1t was not accidental.
His friends presume that he must have
accidentally discharged his revolver in
which 1t is impossible to definitely ex-
plain.

MoLLER'S CASE DISMISSED
HobosKen Policeman Tried for Let
ting a Prisoner Go.

iPatrolman Christian Moller appeared
before the Hoboken Police Commissioners
yesterday afternoon ito answer charges
preferred against linn by DR.. Bernard
%lausen of neglecting his official duty.
Dr. Clausen is a prominent physician in
Hoboken. He resides at Garden and
Seventh streets. On March 3 an unknown
man, apparently drunk, seated himself on
the doctors doorsteps, attracting a crowd
Of boys, who began to plague the fellow
and produce a general nuisance.
The physician ordered Patrolman Mol
Ter to arrest the man. Moller took the
fellow INTO custody, but as soon as he
turned the first corner let him go.
In his own defense, yesterday, Moller
stated to the Board that he had ascer-
tained after placing the man under ar
rest that he was eccentric and that a
crowd of small boys had been annoying
him all the afternoon. He was a hard
working 'longshoreman. the policeman
said. and was not intoxicated.
The Board, after cautioning Moller to
be more careful in releasing people after
taking them into custody, dismissed the
COMPLAINT.
