CARTRIDGE STUCK.
Bullet Went Flying and Powder
Left Marks,


There was CONSERVATION in one quar-
ter of the police station at about 9
a. m. yesterday. George Greene, for
merly officer at the boat landing, went
into Mr.. Bachelors room next that
of the Marshal and, picking up one
of the rifles, began examining the ex-
tractor. There were loaded cartridges
in the gun and Mr. Greene was prac-
ticing at throwing these out quickly.
Finally he ran across one that stuck
in the barrel He gave a quick jerk
to dislodge it when the cartridge ex-
ploded.
Mr.. Greene was standing at the back
door when examining the gun and
the barrel was pointed across the hall
way in the direction of the stairway
leading to the cells below. The bull
let passed very close to Jim Kupihea
and other officers engaged in the work
of loading cartridges and struck
against the wall down stairs.
The powder from the cartridge flash.

quite badly. 1t was a fortunate cir
cumstance that he had on glasses
Otherwise he must surely have been
blinded by the powder.

Cabinet Ready.

Acting President Cooper and The

the meeting of the Legislature at noon
tomorrow. There may be one more
reading of the message, but all the
bills and appropriation matters have
been put into shape.

A SUGGESTIVE LETTER.

Should annexation, either by ratifica-
ton or by resolution fail ''decisiyely, y
it would be the duty of all to work
Loyalty together for the common good,
as Mr.. Davies suggests in his letter,
which appears in another column.
Until there is clearly decisive action
in Washington, we fear that even those
who are, or are believed to be, political
leaders here, will not take much inter
est in future events, any more than
passengers take much interest in pre-
parations against sudden shipwreck, sc
long as the vessel that carries them is
in smooth water At present there is a
strong belief, not without good reasons
for it, that annexation will soon take
place.
But if it does not take place, during
the present session of Congress, it by
no means follows that there will be
decisive action The matter may be
laid over, or hung up" There can be
no final action by the American Gov
eminent, because succeeding Govern
ment may reverse the course of its pre-
decessor. Of course, there may be
strong evidence that the United States
has done with us, but there can be
hardly any conclusive" evidence of it.
The policy of keeping Hawaii with
| in the sphere of its influence" by the
United States, has become almost ma
tional habit. Even Democratic Sena-
tors who are opposed to annexation be-
lieve in it. And it is now an unwritten
international law that Hawaii is the
Americans pigeon 1t is, therefore
highly improbable that failure to an
mex during the present session of Con-
gress, would be decisive, at least so
decisive, as to bring about any common
understanding among men here on that
point.
A policy that is backed by the Amer
lean Executive, and by more than a
majority in both Houses of Congress,
will not be abandoned, unless there is
some very radical change of events
That is possible, but highly improb-
able. Indeed, from our point of view,
the great commercial forces of the
United States, excepting those of San
Francisco, are only beginning to take
an active interest in the matter. In the
end they will force annexation, in the
interests, not of strategy, but of trade.
Our community, facing so many IA
cial and political questions, should of
course, prepare itself for the alterna-
tive of independence forced upon it by
the United States. But other commun-
tiles do not make preparation for
crises, and we will probably follow the
rule.
Until this decisive action on anneXa-
ton is accepted without reservation by
the supporters of the Government, it
seems to us, that there will be no dis
position to think, discuss, or act upon
the several propositions made by Mr..
Davies, admitting that they are wise
and eXpedient.
Mr.. Davies letter is fair and candid
But it suggests many intricate ques-
lions which, in the government of diff,
ferent races, have not been easily an
swered. We, governed by American
habit of political thought, would solve
them by the aid of British experience
We wish Mr.. Davies would also accep
British experience in this matter.

COMMENTS ON THE NEWS

The latest news regarding anneXa-
ton is extremely encouraging. the
new factor in the matter created by
the movements of Germany in the East
is unquestionably having most i'm
portant influence. But the situation
appears to have suddenly created a new
and cordial relation between the United
States and Great Britain. The policy
of the latter country is that OF opening
China to free trade with the world.
This is just what the United States de-
sires, and is contrary to the policies Of
France, Russia and Germany. Japan
cooperates in the free trade policy.
For this reason, the Americans heart
lily approve of the action of Great Brit
ain and China, in preventing the Chi
nese from being bottled up" But it
forces the Americans to get foothold
somewhere, and here is the natural
and obvious foothold. There will be no
closing up of these incidents. The Am
orleans must move sooner or later. 1t
is only question of time. Postpone
ment of annexation means delay only.
He who believes otherwise, does not
understand the deep and abiding force
of the movement.
We have repeatedly said that the an
nexation movement wouIdnot be arrest
ed by trivial incidents Senator White
of California charges in his speech in
the Senate, that since Japanese immi-
grants were sent back from Hawaii,
about 1000 have been admitted under
contract into the Islands. He denounces
the attitude of our annexationists as
'hypocritical." Every man can settle
that question for himself If true, it
will not for moment change the gen
eral policy of the United States, and
for that reason, much that has been
said here against the Japanese could
well have been omitted.

The most serious news, in one sense,
is the announcement that the Govern
ments of the United States and Jap
an have come to an agreement regard
ing the status Of the Japanese in Ha-
wall. 1t is, that, if annexation takes
place, all Japanese here, and elsewhere
on American soil, may be naturalized
in the United States, under the most
favored nation" clause, and become
voters, after the year 1899. This right
will by no means create at once a large
japanese vote in these Islands. Five
years are required for naturalization
under the Federal laws, with other
qualifications. Nor, is it clear that any
large portion of the Japanese popula-
ton will care to renounce their present
nationality. The prosperity of those re
siding here will have much to do with
their action. Moreover, the American
laws regarding immigration will be-
come more severe, as time passes. The
full bearing of this agreement on our
social condition cannot be thought out
in a moment.

Facts About Health

Know How
Some of the Conditions Necessary
to Perfect Health.


to Perfect Health.
The importance of maintaining good
health is easily understood, and it Is really
a simple matter if we take correct view
of the conditions required. In perfect
health the stomach promptly digests food,
and thus prepares nourishment. The
blood is employed to carry this nourish-
ment to the organs, nerves, muscles and
tissues which need it. The first great
essential for good health, therefore, Is
pure, rich blood. Now it is certainly
fact that no medicine has such
a Record Of Cures
as Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t is literally true
that there are hundreds of people alive
and well today who would have been in
their graves had they not taken Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1t is depended upon As a
family medicine and general regulator of
the system by tens of thousands of people.
This is because Hoods SarsapariIIa makes
the blood pure. This is the secret Of its
great success. Keep your system in good
health by keeping your blood pure with
Hoods SarsaparilIa, which absolutely
cures when other medicines fail.

"Pauperism is the result of SO many
different causes that it is unjust to
try, as n of the speakers at the Ma
tional Charity Conference does, to
throw the chief responsibility for it
upon church charity" says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. Gun
discriminating charity Of every kind,
no doubt, has a tendency to breed
pauperism among q certain class, but
this is. more than offset by the relief
from want and suffering it brings and
the renewed hope and encouragement
with which it often inspires recipients.
In any event it is better that charity
should be sometimes misdirected and
abused than that it should be with
held altogether. An ideal system of
charity would be that which went hand
in hand with measures for helping
destitute persons to help themselves.

Of nearly $13, 200, 900, which, after

increase of $35, 145 as compared with

many enlightened Italians that this

impossibility of replacing the money
thus obtained by any equally popular

Engaged almost without cessation in

enriched with several productions of
