and Flirt. Argetto won the heat, with Flirt
at Geerss seat. The Queen broke badly
twice and narrowly escaped the distance
nag. The second heat was a repetition of
the first. The third heat was a beautiful
race between Argetta and Flirt to the three
quarters pole, where Flirt broke Argetta
winning easily. The track will be in the
pink Of condition Friday and on that day
and Saturday five events will be run off

Hawaii fn War Time.

From the St. Louis GlObe-Dt mocrat.
In time of war Hawaii coulu not be ne
elected. 1t lies half way, Whereabouts,
between the coast of the United States and
the Philippine Islands. In the event OF
disturbance between the United States and
any foreign power, European or Asiatic, it
would be coigne of vantage that might
determine the result of "a dispute. In time
of peace Hawaii is the halfway station of
American and Asiatic commerce.. To own
it and to control the Nicaragua canal-aGd
the two propositions ought to be inSep-
arabe-is to unite both our Atlantic and
Pacific ports with all the desirable trade
of the globe. Hawaii, like Cuba, is in the
sphere of United States influence.
Hawaii can be ours without purchase and
without conquest large majority of all
its inhabitants, native and adopted, desire
annexation. The intelligent, mercantile and
progressive people of Hawaii, almost with
out exception. are anxious for annexation.
But for the sudden intrusion of the Cuban
question, that of Hawaii would have been
uppermost in the present session of Con-
gress. Now that Cuba has come to the
front, Hawaii attains really more impor-
lance than ever, though in some sense il
becomes corollary; for if we are to fight
Spain we ought to have a rendezvous In
the Pacific whence We can move against
the fleets Of Spain, and where our flying
squadrons can rally for attack upon Span
ish vessels or for defense of our coasts, as
occasion may demand.
1t Is a circumstance worthy of note that
not cool the ardor Of Hawaii for annexa-
ton. Its people are anxious to be united
TO us In peace or in war. Such q desire
expressed IN trying times is a pledge OF
their fitness for adoption into the family
of the greatest Of all republics.

The Joint Note.

The powers have presented to this gov
eminent their joint note, the preparation
and general character of which were de-
scribed In the news columns of yesterdays
Star. 1t remains now for the powers to
take the next logical step in the matter, in
order to accomplish their desire to prevent
hostilities between this country and Spain,
by bringing whatever pressure may be pos
sible to bear upon the government at
Madrid. The reply of President Mckinley
to the joint note shows clearly that there
is nothing further to be done at this capt.
tai. This government politely responds in
effect that 1t will pursue it's course in be-
half of Cuba and humanity, grateful for
the sympathy and kindness of the powers.
Spain alone is now open to this kind of
mediation. The note is by no means an
intervention. in any sense of the word 1t
is merely the formal expression OF inter-
national hope for the preservation of peace.

Fatal BICYCLING.

A Brooklyn lad died Tuesday as a direct
result Of century" run last Monday
on his bicycle. He rode 40 miles over
bad roads, with nigh winds impeding his
progress. Immediately after he reached his
home he began to sink. and his death was
found to be due to over-exertion This Is
not the first fatality caused by foolish
indulgence in wheeling beyond the limits
Of safety, and under adverse conditions. A
few weeks ago a young man was to be
seen in this vicinity riding hundred miles
each day, presumably as an advertisement
for certain make of wheel. The purpose
was. and perhaps Is yet, for him to ride
one hundred miles each day Of the cur
rent year. The exhibition was neither In
structiye Eor helpful In any way. 1t tend
ed rather to encourage young and foolish
riders to attempt the same futile end, and
there may be serious results later In the

Getting American. Out of Cuba

Some surprise continues to be expressed
here and there that there should be any
delay in getting all the Americans out of
Cuba before the crisis between this country
and Spain has been precipitated. Those
who thus criticise fail to take into full
account all the embarrassing circumstances
Of the case. There are several thousand
Americans in various parts of Cuba at
present. General Lee estimates that two
thousand still remain unprovided with
means of transportation. Naturally these
people have delayed their departure as
long possible. for substantial reasons
They have property interests in the island.
Their belongings are there their families
are established there. 1t is no small un-
dertaking to remove bodily to these shores
and 1t Is natural that they have delayed
as long as possible. in the hope that peace
rather than war might follow the present
disturbance. But as rapidly as possi-

Those Spanish Concessions

Friends OF Spain point TO the many con-
cessions she has made in the matter of
Cuba as emitting her to great considera-
ton at this time. At the instance of the
United States she has released the Ameri-
can cllzens who were confined in her pris-
ons, has recalled General Weyler and has
cancelled his order herding the non-com-
batants in pens throughout the island. As
concession to Cuba she has granted an
autonomous form of government calculated
to correct all the abuses of which the Gu
ban people have been complaining. After
all this. it is asked ought moi the SPANISH
flag TO be left undisturbed on the islande
The trouble with this argument is that il
proves too much. If it shows Spain in a
peace-loying mood, it likewise shows what
Spain was when she was in her savage
mood Before she was threatened with

fullest operations Cuba would still be at
