HAWAII AVID SPAIN.

That was an interesting bit Of news In me
Sunday Tribune about Hawaii and spain ana
the United States. The Hawaiian Government
il Will be remembered. las not proclaimed us
neutrality in this war. but has been giving all
possible aid and comfort to the | nitod States
aid which Is universally recognized here to be
rot only valuable hut practically Indispensable
Against this the Spanish Government protested
demanding. in effect. that the fdvors ana prlVi-
lcgcs shown to this country by Hawaii should
be withdrawn and strict neutrality observed
The reply Of the Hawaiian Government was,
according 10 Sundays news. prompt ana TO the
point II told Spain that II had not proclaimed
neutrality because Of the intimate relations e1-
istiup between il and the United States, ana
that II would take no notice of SPANS protest
other than 10 acknowledge IT'S receipt. intlnat
inc Of course. that II intended 10 continue It's
aid TO this country.
In other words. Hawaii proclaims herself our
nlly in this war, and actually joins forces with
rs in orr conflict with Spain. We accept her
aid and on the strength Of IT conduct such
campaign ms we could not hope otherwise to do
Spain gives notice that she proposes to hold
Hawaii accountable for all damage done to her
through IIawali's breaches e neutrality. And
men NJ Washington. citizens Of the Nation and
members OF the Government that so vigorously
called Great Britain 10 account for her fhr Jess
breaches Of neutrality, propose to turn me cola
shoulder toward Hawaii AMI LET nor as best she
can get out of the international difficulties she
has got into for our sake and for our good.
II is II monsirous thing. The only generous
course the only honorable course. the only
grateful course. the only just couisc. the only
course worthy Of this Nation, II II wishes 10
hold I'D ns head among tho civilized nations of
the world is 20 siand 10y the plucky little Power
that + to 80 good effect standing by us. Ana
the only way 10 do that is To- accept the offer Of
Hawaii and annex the islands To the United
states ana annex them right away.

When the Dingley bill was under consders.

do, that the adoption of the protective system
would affect commerce disadvantageOusy-

RAILROAD MATTERS.

Since Tuesdays edition nothing of
Importance has occurred in railroad
circles. Conflicting rumors are in cir
culation in regard to the Milwaukee
road coming here. The Illinois Cen.

ting ready for the legal battle to-
morrow, and the Northwestern will be
on hand Monday to make their PROPOSE
ti0n to the council.
The council has held several informal
meetings this week to discuss the sit
uatlon. The feeling is liberal toward
both lines, at the same time certain
conditions will be asked before the
council donates. any public property for
railroad purposes. AS these require

is no reason to believe that they will
not be cheerfully compiled with.

PREPARING ITS REPORT.
ing Forward It's Work to Pre-
sent to Congress.

Washington, Dec. 1. - The Nicara-
qua canal commission, of which Ad-
niral Walker is president, is hurrying
forward its work with view to pre-
senting report by the time congress
meets or soon thereafter. In any event
it is probable that summary Of the
commissions findings will be made
Known to the president for such use, if
any, as he desires to make of it in his
message to congress. An important
technical piece of work just completed
by the commission is chart showing
for the first time the level of Lake Mica
ragua for every day of an entire year,
establishing basis for the size and
character of dams, locks, etc. The OBJ
servations show that the lake level is
about 1031s feet above sea level in May
and 1O7 feet in October. these being the
extreme months. This reverses the
usual calculation of deep water in
spring, and is due to the rainy season of
the tropics, which comes late in the
summer. The observations are regard
ed by the commission as very favorable
in their influence on the canal project
as a whole.

DIED..

On Sunday, November 27, MIR. Fran
els A. Malone died of dropsy at his
home seven miles northeast of Denison.
He had been i'll for nearly year and
death was not unexpected by his loved
ones. The funeral took place on Mon
day and was attended by many friends
of the family. Messrs. c. A. Rommel
and VIM. Schultz, of Silner City, Iowa,
together with their families came here
to attend the obsequies, but arrived too
late to be present.
MIR. Malone was born at Spring Lake,
Wisconsin, and the family removed to
Crawford county about year ago. He
was aged forty years, five months and
fifteen days at the time of his death.
His wife and two children, a boy and a
girl remain to maurn his loss. During
his brief residence in this county he
made many friends who deeply regret
his death while still in the prime OF
manhood. His widow, Mrs. Mary
Malone, wishes to express through
these columns her grateful appreciation
for the many acts of kindness and
sympathy done by neighbors and friends
during the hours of sorrow.
