whether motormen and gripmen are
supeTstitious, or whether it is danger
Gus to run a car over even small crea-
lures, or whether the men are simply
gentle-hearted and humane and loath
to hurt anybody or anything?
Coming In from the country a while
ago on trolley car, and coming like
chain lightning, too, we saw some
chickens ahead on the track The
motorman shut her off and put the
brake on with celebrity and strength
that indicated that he would have re-
yersed the car II he could. 1t was
clear that he didn't want TO touch a
chick, and We didn't. The birds ran
across the track with wings a-happing
and their feet a-gOing as fast as they
could make 'em. They didn't have
much margin Of safety, but they had
enough. and. as they Topped across, the
motorman gave the car the wire again
and let her hum.
Coming down town on a Broadway

HOW REED STANDS
Attitude Announced By
Dingley's Paper.
Would Probably Vote No On Annex
alton But Is Not a Factor In
Opposition.

The Lewiston, Me-, Weekly Journal,
of February 10th, which is edited by
Congressman Dingley, Speaker Reeds
right hand man, contains the following
in its Washington correspondence:
The position of Speaker Reed on the
Hawaiian annexation is said to be this:
He Will not use his position as Speaker
TO defeat the treaty now under consid-
Grafton in the Senate, nor to prepare
the way for the defeat of legislation to
accomplish annexation should it be ne
cessary to resort to that to carry out
the policy of the Administration His
opposition has been passive, but his
opinion is fixed.
The statement may be made with
absolute certainty that Mr.. Reed does
not believe in annexation, and, if call
ed upon to vote on the question, would,
undoubtedly, vote against it, but he is
not factor of the opposition. The Ad-
ministration favors annexation; a
large majority of the Republicans favor
annexation; Mr.. Reed does not. This is
all there is in the matter in respect to
the Speakers position.
The belief OF the advocates Of Hawai-
ian annexation is that they will have
votes enough in the Senate to ratify the
treaty. If they should fail in this they
are sure of large majority in both
Houses for such legislation as may be
necessary to accomplish what is con-
templated by the treaty. 1t is not
thought that Mr. Reed would try to use
| the power of his position to prevent
| this legislation. Another question that
| has been raised is as to the status OF
Japanese now in Hawaii, and that poin1
is that they would become citizens Of
| the United States.
The fact is that they would have the
same opportunity after annexation te
become citizens that they have now
and that all Japanese now have to be-
come citizens The laws now probably
admit of any citizen or subject of Jap
an coming to this country, as do the
subject of other countries, and becom
ing citizens of this country under the
naturalization laws. The annexation
of Hawaii will not affect this question

STRIKE SITUATION YESTERDAY
Miners Claimed at Pana to Have
Thugs Coming Their Way

Pana H., Sept. 3.-The strike situation
in Pana was comparatively quiet today,
although there was more or less Suppressed
excitement. The miners claimed taal the
fifty-four negroes who were at work N
the Springfield mine supplanting the strlk-
ers were inundated and that if they had
their choic ethey would leave Pana- II was
believed that Hon David Ross. secretary
of the state labor bureau. had the same
opinion, although he declined openly to
make such declaration. This theory was
based on the futile attempt of representa-
tives 10 secure a private interview with
negro substitutes. Secretary Ross had
abandoned hope of an interview and he
was in Springfield making a report 20
Governor Tanner. The chief feature was
the expectation of additional negro SUB
stitutes from the south.
There will be no demonstration, how
ever, until early in the week, even If more
negroes come. This is because the strik-
ers are inclined to wait for reinforce
ments from surrounding districts that can
not be here before Monday. There are
fourteen saloons in Pana. They are closed.
They will stay closed until the trouble IS
ended.
