.slave-Drivers Of Hawaii.

At a meeting Of the San Francisco La
Dor Union Friday night the slave drivers
of Hawaii came in for roast that viii
be heard throughout the length and
breadth Of the United States. In a seven
page typewriter document sent out
by Secretary Ed Rosenberg to President
samuel GOmperS of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor, the history Of the slave
drivers in the annexed territory is laid
bare. IN il IS shown that since the Ha-
Wailan Islands have been annexed to the
United States no less than 1000 Chinese
and Japanese slaves have been brought to
the Islands. There is given a resume Of
the late Civil War in our own country bv
which slavery was abolished, with the
laws enacted prohibiting slavery. Follow
ing these enactmentS come the laws of the
Hawaiian Government previous to annex
alton, which bind all labor contracts made
outside of the kingdom. The resolution
of Congress admitting Hawaii into the
United States IS also quoted which pro-
hibitS slave or contract labor; yet In the
face Of all this. the slave dealers ply their
work as though there We're no law to the
1t is expected that when the Eastern
labor unions are made thoroughly con-
Versant with the conditions of existing
slavery in the newly annexed territory
there will be big howl. This Is the OBJ

ROBERT MORROW
ASSAULTED BY A !.
BOLD PEDDLER.
Had Thrown Him. Oft
a Streetcar.
YOUNG MAN RESENTED THEACT
FOLLOWED THE MAGNATE AND
STRUCK HIM.
The Slogger Captured, but Was Re
leased Before Mr. Morrow Could
Surrender Him to the
Police.
YOUNG MAN RESENTED THEACT
FOLLOWED THE MAGNATE. AND
STRUCK HIM.

Robert T. Morrow, president Of the Sut-
ter Street Railway, was punched once
yesterday at the foot of Market street just
as he was going to take a boat to cross
the bay. His assailant was a young fell
low, not much more than a boy, who man
aged TO get away without receiving any
punishment in return and who, fearing
that a policeman might be coming, sped
around a corner and was lost to sight in
an instant. Mr. Morrow did not know his
assaiIant, and made no attempt to have
a chase made to secure the fugitive. The
whole affair occurred and was over in an
instant and the capitalist seemed to be
so surprised that he did not act very
promptly.
Mr.. Morrow went to the ferry on SUIT
ter street car that reached the ferry at
about l o'clock. Just before the ferry was
reached a young man jumped on the car
and attempted to sell a racing programme
to the passengers. Mr.. Morrow saw this
and ordered the peddIer off. AS his order
was not promptly obeyed, and the re-
sponse to his order was anything but
complimentary, he put up one knee and
pushed the Objectionable passenger from
the platform. Considerable force was e&-
ercised, and the surprised young fellow
was angry.
on the platform in front of the ferry
station, at the point where the Sutter
street line terminates, We're several young
men of about the same age, all OF whom
were engaged In trying to sell the same
programme on the cars and around the
ferry station. Hardly was the bounced
passenger on the ground when the Others
surrounded. him and told him that he had
ought to hit Mr. Morrow, who did not
seem to be known to any of them.
The next that the capitalist knew was
that he had been. hit on his head by
bony but poorly steered fist. Mr.. Nor
row had something to do with diveruhg
the blow which had been aimed at his
right eye. His oveFcoat was over his left
arm. His right arm was free to use, and,
although he was surprised, he managed to
ward off the blow to some extent and also
to destroy its force. Consequently the
fist ratified upon his stiff derby hat and
did not leave, its mark on his. face.
Al the same time the other peddlers
were close. to him and were somewhat
threatening, but they saw that the assail-
ant was in no mood to keep on, and they
offered no fight in fact, Mr.. MorroW's ;
enemy. as soon as. he: had hit once, was
in the hands OF the conductor and driver
of Sutter street car No. 81 He was not
held very tightly. AS Mr.. Morrow made
no move TO call a policeman the car men
let go and the peddler, suddenly learRlng
tor the first time, from a bystander, who
lit was that he had punched, disappeared
as speedily as possible.

such as Trilby, Doris, Married in Haste,
Lady Of Lyons, Clever Fool and others.
The opening bill will bc "Dor il" in
which Efiie Ellsler made her greatest
success. 1t is a strong and powerful
play of human interest, the characters
being drawn in strong colors. The
third act is pronounced the olcverest
work done by Miss shirley, her plead

August ~, the Tacoma Ledger says:
To all who remember the charm and
power OF Etiie Ellsler, the production Of
her play Doris" last night at the

Jessie Shirley's portrayal of Doris is
quite as distinctly impressive as the

CHAPLAIN GILBERT
His Lecture at the Presbyterian
Church Last Evening.
Talks Entertainingly OF His Experience
With the Second Oregon IN the
Philippines.

At the First Presbyterian church
Tuesday evening Rev. w. S. Gilbert
pastor Of the First Presbyterian
church Of Eugene, late chap.
lain Of the First Oregon regiment,
entertained a select audience very pleas.
antly with his lecture on the Philip.
pines.
The church was well filled with Sa-
lens best people, who seemed 10
thoroughly enjoy the chaplain's talk and
gave their closest attention, several
times interrupting with applause.
viii Ketchum opened the entertain
ment with very appropriate piece of
music on the organ, combining the army
bugle calls and some OF such old
favorite airs az "Should auld Acquaint-
ance be Forgot" "Tenting on the Old
Camp Ground" etc.
The lecturer was introduced by Rev.
Ketchum, pastor Of the church, and he
opened with the words:
"Our nation is in the midst Of events
which occupy the thoughts of the
world"
Probably most Of the aud''u were
particularly anxious 10 hear the Chap
lins views on the proper course to be
pursued in the Philippines, but he did
not commit himself deGnately to much
that could be objected TO by anyone.
Turning his attention to the econno.
mic phase, he asked: OWN it be a
commercial advantage To the nation to
hold the Philippines?" and he seemed
10 think that il would. II should be OF
particular interest TO the people Of Ore
gon and Washington. The great sphere
Of the worlds commerce would be in the
Pacific.
lie thought that when the whole
nations attention was turned 10 u ques-
tion like this the decision would be-
right "The voice Of the American peo.
pie will be the voice OF God"
Christians ought To be particularly
interested in the dawning OF the new
day in the Orient, with all Il means for
the spread Of Christianity.
lie could not answer the question as I,
how long the war would last, nor did h,
hazard an opinion as to how man,
troops would be required.
Some hard problems would face NJ
and one of'the hardest would be In,
economic problem arising from the fact
that the Filipino owns nothing. Their,
are no small land holdings, all Ian,
being owned in great estates, and IA,
