Ex-Chief Justice Agnew Of the
Supreme Court OF Pennsylvania has
published a very able article in the
Forum against annexation. The
Advertiser naturally takes exception
to the article in the following words:
The partisan and intolerant Press,
over there, makes just as much mis-
chief as it does here. We must take
the medicine and not complain, il
an intolerant Press is encouraged
over there. III it we're not for the
shameful neglect OF our just duty,
we could put before men like Judge
Agnew, not the statements OF our
friends, true as we know them to be,
hut open to the charge Of being
partial and made from interested
motives, but the sworn statements
of the natives themselves, examined
under oath. These would have
proved the case OF the revolutionists
beyond dispute.
May we call the attention of our
esteemed contemporary TO the iact
that all respectable Hawaiians have
been anxious to be examined under
oath" in regard to their ideas Of the
Infamous incident OF January 17Ih,
1898, as long as they could hope f,r
a chance to tell the truth and have
the whole truth honestly recorded.
Commissioner Blount's report, how
ever, contains statements from many
"lesding" men, foreigners and Ha-
waiians, which should be sufficient
to settle the question Of the '93 revo-
luton. The Advertiser man knows
OF course that all the affidavts,
statements, etc, recorded by Mr..
Blount, were read to aud signed by
the depouents before embodied in
the official report Of Mr.. Blount.

subject was the "good and bad
sheep of the fold of Christ" Before
opening his address he made an
earnest prayer asking forgiveness
for the sins of all present, and espe-
cially for his own. The beginning
OF his sermon was really fine, and
he spoke like a trained minister.
After while the advocate came to
the front, and he brought forth
general pleas, exceptions and mo-
tions in favor of the "bad sheep"
The religious Judge spoke very feel
ingly and was evidently addressing
the crowded church in his own be-
half.
The courthouse has been repaired,
and Mr.. Rowell is being severely
criticized for not having the build
ing in shape before the Decembe
term. although provisions for the
necessary improvements were made
by the last Legislature. The room
used by the Circuit Court looked
like circus tent, with big Ameri-
can flag draped behind the Hawai-
ian judge under the coat-of-arms of
the Hawaiian monarchy, which he
so frequently betrayed.

magistrate looks like a junk shop.

bout between James J. Corbett and
Thomas Sharkey will be brought to

tomorrow night without any police or
other interference is now almost a GER
tainty Everyth ng seems TO be running
smoothly, for as yet not one word of pro-
test, lay or clerical, has been uttered in
reference 10 the meeting Of the big pugi-

Sporting men and followers Of puzi-
iism from all over the United States are
arriving hourly In the metropolis. Cor
bett is the favorite in the betting at 100

the rules governing the bout, which call
for clean break. favor him. The said
or pugiist is strong on inhghting, but
has yet to show any degree of cleverness
. at long range work, while the very op-
posite can be said for Corbett. Another
thing which good judges refer to is
Sharkeys lack of control over his temper
when receiving punishment. During his
long weeks Of hard training, under the
supervision of Tom O'Rourke. the sailor
has learned TO govern himself in this re-
spect, II is claimed, and great things are
expected OF him by his friends and back
ers. No man could have trained more
carefully than Sharkey has and the same
can be said OF Corbett. to whom victory
means so much.
Charley White, who has charge OF the
ex-champion's training, is more than
satisfied with Corbett's work and pres
ent condition. He says his man was
never in better shape than now and,
barring accident. should certainly win.
Corbett White says, will enter the ring
weighing about 1s2 pounds. ORourke
says that Sharkeys weight will be 176
pounds. Reports from both sides are
TO the effect that each man is in the best
possible condition physically, and equally
confident OF winning.
