A STRATEGIC POSITION.
Chairman Hit Gives His Views on the
Annexation of Hawaii.

Chicago, Jan. 29.--The Posts Wash
ington correspondent sends the follow
ing exclusive interview with Chairman
Hit of the house committee on foreign
relations: THE Rist, in my opinion, of
the whole Hawaiian situation lies in
the strategic situation of the little
group of islands as a basis of opera
tions for moving on our west coast.
There is a strong resemblance in this
case to the Bermudas. except that the
Bermudas are not so commanding.
That is, there are other islands to the
south of them which would, in case Of
conflict, to some extent, take their place
with European powers. In the posses
sion of the Hawaiian islands we would
have what might be considered safety
for our western coast against naval
powers except Great Britain, which
could still get coal for her ships from
the British Columbian ports and use
that base for naval operations.
The subordinate features of the
question much discussed, the question
of sugar, the character of the popula-
tion the mode of government, etc, are
obligations and solutions of objections
that take up a great deal of attention,
but think they are of minor import
ance. The control of a country cannot
be permanently held that way. We
have now by treaty certain exclusive
rights, but that is a terminable treaty,
ana iHt I1dWdItl ItDuDlt 10 lntbl6ll-
cally an Independent nation, but is
wholly incapable of defending itself and
preserving its independence the moment
that we come into a conflict. and any
naval power presenting itself will take
possession. Once it was possessed by
a power like Japan. England or Ger
many, it would be the story of the Ber-
mudas over again. only "A stronger and
more effective Bermuda on our western
coast. With q coaling station 1000
miles out we might double the time and
length of effective cruises of warships
going out from San Francisco, and pro-
portionately increase the effective re-
suit of the expenditure of setting up a
ship. Having no neighboring islands, IL
leaves the immense expansion of the
Northern Pacific utterly inhospitahle to
our opponent IL we hold it. II is thus
of great value as a base for defense or
for an enemy to operate against us.
Il have thought for many years that
these islands were Of essential import
ance to us. The impression that l got
when in the state department in 1891
remains with me. The question of eX-
tending the reciprocity treaty was then
under consideration and / was I'M
pressed with these facts. The sugar
question and It's branches is a matter of
competing interests. Once incorporated

Run by Balloon Power.
From the New York Times.

from the New YORK I1meS.
A mountain railroad constructed on
a novel plan is shortly to be opened on
the Hochstauffen, near Bad Reichen-
hall, Bavaria. The chief feature of the
new system is that the force of traction
is directed vertically upward, being de-
rived from balloon. The latter has a
diameter of sc feet and lifting power
of 10,560 pounds. The balloon, car, net,
ropes, etc, weigh 1920 pounds, and an
allowance of $500 pounds is made for
passengers and aeronauts, leaving a
margin of 2,640 pounds. A single rail
is used for the sole purpose of directing
the course of the train and keeping the
balloon with its load captive. To this
end the rail is made T shaped and the
car runs on it, gripping it from the
sides and from below. The rail is an
chored to the ground at distances of
about IS feet. In descending the noun
tain the balloon acts as a check to pre-
vent accelerated motion. Water bal
last provides the additional weight re-
quired when the car is going down.

4 DASTARDLY ASSAULT
A Very Close Call for Foreman
David Whalen.
HE WAS HIT ON THE HEAD
A Savage Attack Made on Him by VIII
liam Koran With q Machine Wrench.
His Assailant Escaped and
Hasn't Yet Been Found.

Sheriff Regan's deputies are looking
for man who stands good chance OF
being severely dealt with if captured.
He is William Koran, and is wanted for
committing dastardly assault on
David Whalen, the foreman of the
Never Sweat mine, who can thank the
providence that gave him a tough cram
jun and a good nerve, without either of
which he might now be in the morgue
or in the hospital with crushed skull
Mr.. Whalen is the new foreman who
was appointed TO succeed Patrick Egan
when ii was decided to make a change
at the Never Sweat about week ago
Koran was until yesterday morning a
laborer working in the mine under Mr.
Whalen. Koran was employed as a
shoveler. and was at work day before
yesterday on the 1,000-foot level when
Mr.. WhaIen came along, and observing
that the work was not being done just
as he would like to have 1t, remarked to
Koran that il looked like pretty dirty
work and told him to clean the place up
properly.
Foreman Whalen then passed on and
saw nothing more of Horan until yes
terday morning when he was making
his usual rounds. He came to where
Koran was working about $50, and no.
ricing that his work was done better,
passed on without speaking. He
stepped onto the ladder of the manway
close to go to the floor below. and as he
did so. Koran picked UP a machine
wrench which was lying on the floor.
He was either sore at the foreman's
criticism of his work the day before. or
else misconstrued the words that had
been used. purposey or otherwise, for
he said: i believe you said you would
do me some dirty work" or something
TO that effect, and as he uttered the
words he dealt Foreman Whalen n vi
eious blow or the head with the
wrench. Mr.. Whalen was about half
the length of his body down the man
way. and the wonder is that the blow
did not cause him TO fall away, but al
though dazed he held onto the ladder
and Koran dropped the wrench and
fled.
AS soon as Mr.. Whalen recovered his
senses he climbed back on the level
and started for the st. Lawrence to find
superintendent Jack O'Neil. Mean
while. Koran made his way rapidly to
the Anaconda mine and went to the
top.
Superintendent o'Neil, learning that
the man had fed. notified the sheriff,s
Office, and Deputy NELL was sent out to
look for Koran. He was not to be
found at the Hale house, where he
lived, and after securing the city with
out results, more officers were detailed
for the search. Koran was not appre-
hended up to a late hour last night.
and it is thought that he left the city
Immediately after getting out of the
mine.
Mr. Whalen's injury proved to be only
a scalp wound, and will not inconven-
fence him to any serious extent. but the
physician who dressed the wound said
that 1t was a wonder the skull was not
crushed. Between this fact and the
danger that he might have fallen from
the ladder. Mr.. Whalen can count HIM
self lucky that he was no more serious
ly hurt.

FREncHMAN SAW ONE TRAIT.
Biggest Things in America Are the Small
Ones, He Says.
From Invention.

From Invention.
A French engineer who has been on
a tour of inspection in the states was
not impressed by the big things of the
country. Il shall report to my govern
ment," says he, that the biggest things
i'm America are the little things. The
French people are experts in domestic
economy, and live comfortably by saw
ing what average families in the states
throw away. But Americans are, on
the other hand, experts in industrial
economy. They make money by saving
wastage in business and lose some of It
by wastage in domestic economy The
attention paid to small details in big
works is amazing to me. ] have visited
some establishments where / believe
that the profits are made not In the
manufacture proper but in the saving
of materials and labor by close atten-
ton to details that are with us consid-
cred trifles. For example, | saw a
grindstone in operation at a big works
automatically sharpening lathe and
planer tools. This machine costs prob
ably as much as 100 of our ordinary
grindstones cost. but l see that ii auto
natically grinds all the tools for 300
high priced mechanics, and it only
works few hours each day. The skilled
mechanics in our country frequently
stop their regular work to grind their
own tools, and then do il imperfectly. In
the states TOOLS are all accurately ground
TO the best shape by the machine, so
that they do more and better work on
this account in a given time. ] believe
that that machine has braims-the
brains of the inventor-and it has no
doubt revolutioniZed work of this kind
in American machine shops. This is but
enc case out of many that | have
noted"
The visitor correctly defined a pecu-
liar characteristic of American inventive
genius. The great engineering under
takings, the immense manufacturing es-
adjustments and the leviathan ma
chinery are. of course, most conspcu-
Gus and impressive. but these big things
are comparatively few in number, while
the novel improvements in little things
usually classed as Yankee notions
are legion. and each one contributes its
mite toward the general sum of pros
perity of the business Of the country.

The spool factories of Maine turn out
annually about $50, 600 900 spools, which
VIII hold $4,000, 600 yards OF thread
20o yards to the spool. There are IL OF
these factories in the state, employing
Dot hands, at average wages Of $1.50
day each, or $247, 800 a year total. In
the making of the spools 10000 cords of
White birch timber, or $50, 900 feet, are
used. This timber is worth 81 cord.
A large part of the spool timber cut in
Maine is not manufactured there, but
shipped from Bangor to great factories
in England and Scotland. Last year
Bangor exported 6,97s,66s feet of spool
bars to the United Kingdom, the value
being S144,000. and more will shipped
next year. There is practically no limit
to the supply of white birch available.
The so-called novelty mills of Maine
are numerous all through the hard wood
districts In these mills are turned out
all kinds of little wooden boxes, many
of which are used by druggists; checker
boxes, checkers, dice boxes, wooden
shoppers, handles of a thousand kinds
and shapes. toothpicks by the million.

y Dixfield factory has just completed
an order for 100000 checkers and 200.-
600 dice boxes and at another factory in
the same town they have made this

Burlington. Iowa. Jan. 29.-The dead

been split open with an axe. The body
Of the child was found in a bedroom
off the kitchen with the throat cut from
ear To ear. Evidences of a horrible
struggle for life We're present on all
sides. Evidently the young girl had
been brutally assaulted by the muir
derer, and her torn clothing indicated
that she had fought desperately for
her honor. Having accomplished the
deed her assailant had cut her throat
The girls hands showed cuts received
in attempting to defend herself. Blood
was scattered all over the bed and on
the floor
The body Of the woman was found to
be badly eaten by rats and presented a
horrible sight. Several arrests have
been made and the police are actively
engaged in running down several cIews.
1T is believed the crime was committed
on Sunday night and that the bodies
have been in the house ever since. The
woman was widow of good repute

TREATS SKIN DISEASES
DR.. 0. Fl. Dogge, the Specialist,
Will Branch Out.
WILL OPEN A HOSPITAL
He Will Continue to Receive and Treat
ALI Applicants During the Next
Thirty Days on the Basis of
Months Treatment.

DIR. q. II. Dogge, the eminent special
list, now that he has established HIM
self with the Butte public, intends
branching out in an extensive way, and
viii tomorrow morning open two sep
arate hospitals, one a surgical hospital,
and the other an institution for the
treatment of yenereal and skin dis
eases. DR.. Dogge Will continue to re-
ceive and treat all applicants during the
next 80 days on the basis of months
treatment for S.. DIR. Dogges new
move is an important one in medical
circles, and is made necessary by the
extensive practice he has built up since
coming to Butte. The hospital COM
prises two separate buildings, one of
which is used for surgical purposes, the
other for private and skin diseases.
The surgical department is in the
three-story house, Nos. 401-403 South
Montana street, and has capacity of
"a to 80 beds, with all the requirements
of modern surgery accommodations,
such as electric, steam and other medi-
Gated baths. On the first floor are two
operating rooms, one room for exami-
nations with the Roentgen or X-rays,
and the various apparatus for illumi-
mating the interior of corporal cavities,
and one room for a pathological and
chemical laboratory. On the second
floor are private rooms for patients
and on the third floor the space is
divided into two separate wards, one
for male. one for female patients.
The other building, No. sol on the
same street, one block below the form
err, is provided with six beds, steam,
vapor and medicated baths and such
for special hydropathic treatment.
Everything in that place is so arranged
that it strictly corresponds with similar
institutions of the largest cities of
Europe, where Dr. Dogge last year had
good opportunity to gain experience
and it can be asserted that by this kind
of treatment, which is accomplished
by means of absorption from external
sources as through inunctions, lotions,
electricity, etc, and not by oral medi-
cation, those disagreeable affections are
not only far better and easier cared for,
but more speedily and permanently
cured than in the customary old way.
The doctor has first-class assistants and
we'll trained nurses.
