Are in Open Rebellion.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 21.-(Spe-
cialO-North Carolina will lose the Fed
craI prisoners it has in its care at the
State penitentiary at Raleigh.
The State has lost it's last chance TO
get the Federal Southern prison and At
lanta has been successful This was
decided today by Attorney General
Griggs, who said his reason for selecting
Atlanta over Raleigh, the only other
contestant for the prison, was on account
of the railroad facilities of the former
city and for it's central location.
Federal prisoners from all Southern
States and from as far North as New
Jersey will be sent to this prison. Mr..
Griggs made known his decision to Rep
resentative Livingston, of Georgia, who
successfully urged the selection of the
Georgia site.
Senator Pritchard was supposed to be
looking after the case for the State of
North Carolina and had the assistance
of Assistant Attorney General Boyd.
Losing the Federal prison means
much to North Carolina. that the peo-
pie of the State never have realized and
that Georgians were quick to see. The
Government, within the first five years,
after establishing the prison, will make
an outlay of about three millions.
There are just twenty eight Federal
prisoners in the penitentiaTy here who
will not grieve to read the above. They
will rejoice that Raleigh has lost the
Federal prison and that they are to be
taken to Atlanta.
Even now they are in open mutny-
these moOnshiners. pOstoffice robbers and
counterfeiters. Friday morning the
breakfast given them was scant and
cold. Naturally they kicked. At first
they growled to one another about it.
Then they talked out and when those
in authority sought to suppress the in
subOrdinatiOn they broke into genuine
mutiny refusing to eat the breakfast
or to go to work.
There were twenty-eight of these mu-
tinous prisoners and they were ut once
placed in solitary confinement in dark
cells and fed on bread and water. This
had little effect. SO the five leaders of
the mutiny are kept standing with their
hands drawn through the iron grating
and wrists locked together from 3 in
the morning until 1 in the afternoon.
Two of the rebels yielded yesterday
morning and were allowed to return to
work after they plead for mercy.
Twenty-siX are still in open rebellion.

JUDGE HITCHCOCK.

The death of Judge f. G. Hitchcock
removes another of the landmarks of
the passing generation. Beyond
short and stirring period when he
was marshal of the Republic, the late
Mr.. Hitchcock was identified with the
Island of Hawaii, and especially with
Hilo and vicinity. Together with his
brother he was one of the pioneer
planters on the Island, for long
time he was prominent lawyer, then
he was most energetic sheriff and
finally ended his career as judge of
the Fourth Judicial Circuit.
Judge Hitchcock was man of
strong personality and determination
and as such made warm friends and
bitter enemies. The former will
mourn the loss of one they esteemed,
the latter will forget their rancor in
the oblivion which death casts over
both virtues and faults.

ANNEXATION PLANK.

The New York Republicans have
given key note which will probably
sound throughout the Union. This
is the plank in their platform rela-
tive to the annexation of the Philip
pines. The wording of the paragraph
is clear and unmistakable, and with
such an expression of opinion from
the party, in one of the most influen-
sioners who are in favor of anneXa-
ton will feel their hands considerably
strengthened. The main difficulty in
the negotiations will be the Philip
pines, and it is very evident that the
Republican party intends that they
shall be kept. The following are the
words used in the platform:
I'VE have abiding confidence that
the President will conclude this peace
upon terms that will satisfy the con-
science, the judgment and the high
purpose of the American people. We
realize that when the necessities of
war compelled our nation to destroy
Spanish authority in the Antilles and
Philippines we assumed solemn duties
and obligations alike to the people of
the islands we conquered and to the
civilized world. We cannot leave them
unarmed for defense and untried in
statecraft to the horrors of domestic
strife or to partition among Euro
pean powers. We have assumed the
responsibilities of victory, and wher-
ever our flag has gone the liberty, hui

mainly and the civilization which that
flag embodies must remain and abide
forever, The Republican party has
been the party of brave conservatism
and of triumphant faith in the ma
tionality of this people, and we know
that the President and the statesmen
and voters of the Republican party
will meet these issues of the future
as gravely and triumphantly as we
have met the issues of the past.

The lleels of steamers are beginning
to plough the Pacific in all directions.
Thirty years ago there was one
wretched little steamer running be-
tween the Islands and San Francisco
She used to take ten or twelve days
on the voyage and lie here week to
allow people time to wake up and
write their letters. Now we have two
lines to the Orient, two to the Colo
MES. Vancouver has the Empress line
to the Far East, and yet another is to
be added to run direct from that port
to Nladivos ,ocll and tap the trans
Siberian railroad. 1t is well some
times to look back and see what has
been accomplished. The growth of
transatlantic trade, which has been
enormous in the last few years, is
only forerunner of what it will be
in the future. Instead of a dozen
steamers month, there will in time
be a dozen steamers day calling at
the Islands.
