HAwAIIANs AT WASHINGTON.

Our Washington correspondent
shows that Hawaii's worst enemies at
the national capital are the men from
these Islands who have gone there to
SANDER the Executive and Judiciary.
Happily these enemies are in no sense
as strong and shrewd as they are
vicious. Colonel Little of Hilo might
have done some harm if he had been
moderate and level-headed, but his
charge that the Hawaiian judges are
dishonest and the land administration
corrupt disguised the House Committee;
on Territories and led them to give the
man but scant consideration. When it
appeared that he was after Judgeship
himself the Committee had no further
use for him. AS for Wilcox, Caypless
and Moreno they did the Hawaiian
Government a service by showing how
full of petty spite, sour prejudice and
selfish ambition is the element which
most conspicuously assails that Gov
eminent and it's agents before Con-
gress.
Under these circumstances it is a
good thing for Hawaii that the Oppo-
sition not only showed its hand but it's
personnel. There was a chance for
some instructive comparisons. Most
of the members of the House Commit
tee had seen Mr.. Dole, Mr.. Hatch, Chief
Justice Judd, Mr.. Castle and other rep
resentatives of the best that Hawaiian
citizenship had to offer and they had
just listened to Mr.. Smith and General
Hartwell. They knew who was meant
when men like Little, Caypless, Wilcox
and Moreno denounced the missionary
rulers" as knaves and scalawags; and
knowing this they asked for no testi-
i mony in rebuttal. Hawaii's unofficial
delegates were not required to answer
the irresponsible fellows who thought
they could blast the reputation of years
with the epithet of the moment.

The statement quoted from the Vice
roy OF India that the plague among
people who have not been fortified by
serum kills 20 to so per cent while
among the inoculated 20 to 80 per cent
are saved, ought to restore waning
faith In the virtue of the medicine. If
cure is the rule in India there ought

The need Of getting the Legislature
together was urgent some time ago and
because Of that fact the wishes of the
President OF the United States were

from him soon. AS there is little doubt
OF his acquiescence the prospects of a
legislative session beginning on the
third Wednesday in February may be
1eemed good.

There are japanese professional rat

bounty offered by the Board of Health
Is a strong inducement to begin con-

scruples about letting these men into

When the case was called-Mrs. Nor

Jamison, her attorney, told the court
that he had heard Saturday evening
that his client had chickenpox. He did
not make any personal investigation by
going down to the house to see, and
yesterday her husband, who had been
quarantined away from the house, told
him that a case of chickenpox had
been sent there from outside, and the

NICARAGUA CANAL BILL
Will Pass Congress, But May Cause
international Complications.

New York, Jan. 16.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Construction of the Nicaragua. canal
is to be insisted upon in both houses OF
congress. without regard to the COM
mission recently appointed by the pres
ident to consider the IeaSlDlllty OF Ihe
various routes.
The house committee has already
agreed to report the Hepburn canal bill
and the senate committee on inter-
oceanic canals of which MI Morgan IS
chairman agreed today, with practical
unanimity upon the same course. 1t is
expected that the decision to report the
bill will be reached shortly.
This measure will not be pressed at
present it beiI : the desire of Senator
Morgan to wait the action of the house,
although if there should be delay in
that body independent consideration
will be asked in the senate.
Mr. Hepburn's bill contemplates full
American control of the canal, with au-
thority to fortify the work. It is this
provision which has attracted the at
tention of diplomats in Washington es-
pecially representatives Of the English
and German governments. It is in vio-
alton of the CIayton-Bulwer treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain in which both countries agree
upon Joint control of any interocean1c
canal
1t is a mooted question whether or not
this treaty has been abrogated, Great
Britain holding that 1t is still IN force
and this view having been acquiesced
in by all administrations up to the pres
emit 1t is said to be the view Of this
administration.
Great Britain signified her willing
ness to formally abrogate the treaty
some time ago If the United States
would guarantee the neutrality of the
canal, but the negotiations were alb
ruptly ended when the high joint COM
mission dissolved, owing to the unwll-
lingness of the British ministery TO
show further friendliness to the United
States at the risk of displeasing Can
ada.
The action of the senate and house
committees indicates a purpose to
construct a canal under American con
troll This would probably be followed
by a system of discriminating tolls, a
system which is not acceptable to
Great Britain.
Germany made some inquiries regard
ing the purpose of the United States
when the Hepburn bill was discussed
during the last session of congress, but
upon assurance that the United States
would neutraliZe the canal, these in
quiries were not pressed. 1t is certain
however, that any serious effort to
press the bill in its present form will
lead to diplomatic correspondence.
| The Hepburn bill appropriates $40,
| 100000 for the construction of the ca
| nal.

BATTLE IN A HOTEL.
Twenty Shots Fired = Two
Killed; Four Wounded.

Frankfort, KY, Jan lex Congress-
man David G. Colson shot and killed
Ethelbert Scott and Luther Demaree
and slightly wounded a third party
named Golden. The killing was the re-
suit of a renewal of d feud between
Colson and Scott, which grew up be-
tween them while in the army last
year Demaree and Golden We're by
ISLANDERS and were shot by accident. It
develops that Colson was shot in the
arm but not seriously hurt
After the shooting he ran to the res
idence of Chief of Police Williams
near by, and gave himself up. Later a
warrant was sworn out by Clint Fogg,
who witnessed the killing. Fogg says
in the lobby of the Capitol hotel which
are here attending the trial of the con-
tests before the legislature
In addition to Scott and Demaree who
died almost instantly and Golden al
ready mentioned as slightly wounded,
Charles Julian Of Frankfort and Harry
McEwing of Louisville were hit by
stray bullets but were not seriously
wounded. Persons who witnessed the
tragedy say fully 20 shots We're fired.
Scott was a nephew of Ex-Governor
Bradley. Demaree was assistant post
master at Shelbyville and a prominent
Republican politician. The trouble be-
tween Scott and ColsOn, which began in
the army last year resulted in Colsor
being shot by Scott, and it has beer
predicted since that one or both would
be killed should they meet, as they die
today. ColsOn is under arrest

RLoTcHES ON THE SKIN
They Can Be Cured by a Very Simple
Process.

No matter what the condition may
be called-whether eczema, acne, pim-
pies, salt rheum, whether running sores,
carbuncIes, boils or any other surface
indication of blood poison or scrofula-
their cure is a simple process if only
half the patience spent in enduring the
disease will be applied to its cure
Eczema for example, is a result, not
a condition, in itself 1t means that the
dead tissues turned to carbonic acid,
are not eliminated by natural processes,
continued practice have sought the skin
as an outlet.
To treat such diseases locally is mere
ly to turn the tide in another direction.
The only real cure for all scrofulous
disease is to persistently give the blood
such other cooling and clarifying essen
tials as bi-tartrate of potassfa, etc
These are combined in palatabIe form
in Hyde's Bi-Sulpho Tablets in which
the sulphur is so thoroughly disguised
that even children will take them read
lily.
Try this remedy for a few weeks and
you will be convinced that it is far
ahead of the secret patent medicines
you have so disappointingly relied upon.
S. Mcdonald, 217 West Fifth St, Kan
sas City, Mo, Writes:-'T have given
Hyde's Bi-Sulpho tablets a thorough
trial and am convinced that they are
a perfect blood cleanser from the fact
that my skin is now clear and entirely
free of all rash and other evidences
that bothered me for some time.':

HORSE WOULDN'T 60.
North Topeka Man Has q David
Harum Experience

The friends of Frank Berry of North
Topeka are having considerable fun at
his expense He recently purchased
horse from couple of horse traders,
paying $55. The horse was apparently
three years old and in good flesh. Its
coat was glossy and the legs were neat
and smooth After Berry had been driv-
ing a couple of times with the traders,
he decided that he would buy the horse.
Mr.. Berry is an admirer of horses
flesh, and when he saw the good quail
ties and style of this animal he was an
easy victim. When the price sop was
named it was paid at once. The traders
Immediately disappeared. Berry took
the horse home. The animal was well
taken care of that night and the next
day Mr.. Berry was driving, taking his
friends for a ride behind his new pur-
chase
Despite good care. the horse COM
menced to go down. his high spirited
action diminished, and the gloss of his
coat disappeared. His eyes became
CLASSY, and he did not carry his head
as before. Berry attributed this to the
change in feed. He took an intimate
friend riding in the country, hoping to
benefit the horse and secure an opinion
as to his worth They drove out few
miles and the horse collapsed. Then
Berry realized that he had been duped
by the traders. They had doctored the
horse with medicines until he looked
and acted like a year old, but now
the effect of the drugs was gone, and sc
was the horse.
Berry and his friend came near not
getting home from that Sunday drive
and when they did, the horse was a sor-
ry looking animal. A few days after
wards, the friend said:

THE INCIDENT PAPER TRUST.

CFrom the N Y. World.l
On Thursday the joint committee on
printing of the house and senate opened
the bids for supplying the government
with printing, writing and other papers
for the year beginning July 1. It was
very Notifying to discover that while
there was a notable decrease in the
number Of competing bidders there was
an equally noticeable increase in the
prices charged in the bids.
This is the plain answer Of fact to
the hypocritical pretense put forward
by the trust organizers that their bet
ter methods of production reduce cost
to the producer and price to the con-
sumner.
The impudent paper trust, protected
on one side by an illegal combination
and on the other side by a stupid
tariff, increases prices instead of re-
ducing them. not only to it's private
customers but even to the government
itself. whose bounty protects it and
whose legislation it defies>
Let US hope that the paper trust will
squeeze the government to the limit.
Such an object lesson on trusts would
be worth all it may cost
