ask Tor the justice of free vote from
pack of usurpers who had stolen their
country and who would see the natives
and their families starve before they
would give them work, until the ma

robbed them. And Furthermore, those

years, were shielded and kept from pow

driven-to-the-wall natives. turther on

A False Alarm.

There was a scare on Queen street
this afternoon, when a German, who
is a we'll known character in the
town as we'll as at the police station,
was found lying on the sidewalk
makai of the Kapuaiwa building ap-
parently dead. The patrol wagon
was summoned and DR.. Peterson ar.
rived quickly at the spot at call
from Minister Cooper. People in
the vicinity who did not know the
mfn thought it was case of plague
and were relieved to learn that it
was simply case of Ordinary drunk
and the doors OF the station house,
not the pest house, swung open to
receive the latest "case."

An attempt was made yesterday

If Representative Robert Roberts
Hit, of Illinois, were to compile his
"reminiscences, the result would be a
volume of extraordinary interest. Not
only has he figured prominently in
national and international affairs for
nearly a generation. but he has en-
ljoyed personal relations Of peculiar
ly close character with more men Of
epinencc perhaps than any other man
OF the day.
Away back before the war, says the
Washington Star, when mere boy,
he was attached to Abraham Lincoln
in a way that gave him envfable IA
cilities for studying the processes of
Lincoln's mind. He was a stenog-
rapher and a newspaper reporter for
the Chicago Tribune, and throughout
the memorable debate between Lin
coin and Douglas preceding the lat
ter's election to the United States
senate, young HIT followed Lincoln,
taking down in shorthand every word
that publicly fell from his lips. These
famous addresses which made Lin
coins national reputation, and which
more than anything else. contributed
to his election as president, owe their
permanent and enduring form to the
youthful reporters notes, the original
of which the congressman still boards
among his literary treasures. Lincoln
called him Bob and was fond of the
boy
After the war Mr.. Hit came to
Washington as clerk of congress

was being made rapidly in the French
capital in those days, and Mr.. Hit
spent seven years in Paris, a period
which was closely packed with i'm
portant events. He returned to Wash
ington In 1881 to become assistant sec
retary of state, and the next year
was elected a member of the house of
representatives. All through his
career in congress he has been con-
spicuous in the discussion of interna-
tional questions, and now, as chair
man of the house committee on for
eign affairs, he is regarded as a diplo-
matte authority without u peer.
Mr.. Hit has had the good fortune
TO cement friendship more firmly
than almost any other man now in
public life. He was Blaine's closest
friend in Washington, In the conclud-
ing years of Blaine's life HIT was
the man in whom he confded most
and was often to be found in the his
toric old mansion on Lafayette square.
At the same time that he enjoyed
these affectionate relations with the
great secretary of state he was the
best friend of Speaker Reed, Blaine's
bitterest enemy in public life. And
no finer tribute could be paid to the
delicate tact of the Illinois represent
ative than that he should have con.
tinued for years such relationship
with two such men without losing

In Mr. Hits house in X street is
a room which is devoted to the mem

with pictures of the Maine leader,
with autograph letters and all sorts
of relics which bring Blaine to mind.
Elsewhere in the house are Lincoln
relics, and stored away somewhere in
places where they will be found some
time and brought to light are scores
and hundreds of confidential letters
from men whose names will figure in
history.
Mr. Hit is of medium height, OF
modest bearing and one of those in
public life, not too numerous, who is
a gentleman always His voice is soft
and modulated; his manner is frank
and friendly although he never for
gets the diplomatic proprieties; his
conversation is stored with informa-
tion and anecdote, and yet he has
never been known to reveal a thing
which was to be kept in confidence.
