at Indianapolis, he will follow the plan
which he pursued at the notification meet

1.-THE platform of that year." he said
declaring the money question to be the
paramount issue, in my notification
speech l devoted almost all the time to
the discussion of that question. leaving
the other questions to be considered in
my letter of acceptance and in subsequent
speeches. This year the plathform de-

the paramount question and it will be the
only one dealt with at any length during

covered by the platform will be taken up
in my letter of acceptance and subsequent

There were then loud shouts that the
body should be taken to a vacant
square in the vicinity and publicly
burned. At this instant, however, a
squad of police dashed up in a patrol
wagon There were thousands of peo-
pie congregated in the vicinity and it
seemed as if there might be clash
between the officers and the mob. The
police seemed, however, to have re-
gained their courage and they prompt
ly pushed the crowd aside, picked up
the body and threw it into the patrol
wagon.
FIVE THOUSAND FOLLOWED.
The driver whipped up his horses
and the wagon started of with five
thousand people running after it and
clamoring for the cremation of the
body of the desperate. The wagon,
however, was feeter than the mob and
it ultimately made it way to headquar-
tiers. There an immense crowd had
gathered and great difficulty was ex-
perienced in taking the corpse into the
morgue.
Annie Cant, a negro woman, who was
alleged to have known Charles, imme-
diately came to the morgue and after
viewing the body declared it was not
that of Charles, but his half brother,
Sly Jackson. Later in the evening,
however, Joseph Stassie, responsible
Italian, identified the body positively
as that of the murderer of Day and
Lamb. Stassie stated that he had lived
in the building which Charles occupied
for several months and that he was
intimately acquainted with him.
Coroner Richard said tonight that
upon examination of the clothing OF the
dead man, he found slip of paper
bearing the name of Robert v. Charles.
who also went under the name of Sly
Jackson.
| After the body of Charles had been
removed, it was rumored that there
were still some negroes in the burning
building. The square was again quick
ly surrounded by picked men and a
squad made it's way into the building.

AssEMBLAGEs PROHIBITED.

Late tonight the Mayor issued a
proclamation forbidding all assem-
blages of people on the streets, direct
ing the police to keep the peace at all
hazards and ordering all bar rooms
closed Immediately and the arrest of
all barkeepers who refuse to obey this
order.
A special grand jury began this after
noon investigating the rioting. Judge
Baker charged them to make a rigid
investigation into every case of vio-
lence upon the negro population and
use every means to bring the guilty
men to justice.

ANOTHER NEGRO KILLED.

In a room which the fire had not
yet reached, three negroes were found
dressed in womens clothes. They
were hustled out and Immediately sent
to prison in a patrol wagon.
Subsequently fourth negro. a mu-
latto, was discovered in the building.
He made desperate resistance, and,
while in the hands of the police, was
killed by a shot fired from the crowd
Just about the time that Charles S
! body reached the morgue, the body of
an unknown negro who had been shot
and stabbed to death on Gallatin street,
was carried in. The negro was passing
through the French market when he
encountered a crowd of whites. The
latter were intensely excited and they
Immediately mobbed him. The negro
ran for life, the mob at his heels in
creasing every minute. The negro fin
ally succeeded in entering a house on
Gallatin street. He ran up stairs and
jumped from the gallery to the ground.
Before he could rise the mob shot and
stabbed him to death.
Up to the time of the tragedy at Clio
and Saratoga streets the city had been
practically quiet. Disturbances had
occurred only in isolated instances and
Mayor Capedeyille was confident that
the situation was so well in hand that
he would be able to dispense with the
special police.
1t is now certain, however, that both
the 500 special officers and 1900 militia
will be kept in service at least until
Monday.

OPEN PEARL HARBoR.

The North Pacific ocean Is about to
acquire freight carriers and passenger
boats of the largest class and 1t Is
doubtful that the future Atlantic trade
will call for bigger steamers than those
that will commonly ply between the
western coast of the United States and
the foreign Pacific markets. The com
ing boats of the Spreckels line are to
be large but not the largest; indeed
their ratings are small beside the tom
mage of the Northern Pacific liners
vessels that will be more than four
times the size OF some favorite deep
sea steamers now afloat. Eventually
monsters OF the Northern Pacific type
will run between San Francisco and the
Orient: perhaps between San Francisco
and the Colonies. Like their predeces-
sors they will want to do business with
Honolulu-but how can they do It until
we get better harbor facilities? The
small cove in the reef called harbor
Is crowded now and vessel of the size
of the Algoa has trouble in getting in
and out. Compared with n Northern
Pacific liner the Algoa would be n toy
ship. How then are we to handle the
bigger vessels when they come without
more room for them than this port pos
sesses?
If the ancient harbor was restored
the great space now occupied by the
site OF Chinatown but filled up ages ago
with silt from the Nuuanu stream
the problem might be solved: but such
an engineering feat we can hardly eN-
pect Congress to pay for, especially
when Pearl Harbor could be made ac-
cessible for big ships through simple
dredging of the bar at very moderate
cost. Plainly Pearl Harbor is the key
to our commercial situation. We must
either get 1t open or prepare to see the
big steamers of the future pass us by
The Improvement of our natural port
has been most dilatory In all that was
expected to follow official Inquiries
and surveys. Part OF the fault is our
own. Hawaii has not pressed the mat
ter at Washington as 1t might have
done and the price of the shore land of
Pearl Harbor was raised high at time
when Interior values were low. Doubt
less there was and still is a feeling that
Honolulu would be hurt by creating
port where a rival town might take
root. But this is hardly logical ap-
prehension. Athens was never harmed
by The Plraeus: Tokyo did not cease to
grow nor did 1t lose Its metropolitan
dignity when Yokohama grew up as
Its commercial entrepot; Los Angeles

show that a city loses nothing by not
being on It's own waterfront. Let come

OUR CHINESE coMpEN sAT1oN.

The United States Government dis
claims the idea OF taking Chinese ter
ritory. How far the policy Is sincere
and how far II is dictated by the needs
of a campaign in which the President
is on the defensive against the charge
of imperialism, we cannot say. Gov
ternments, like women, reserve the right
to change their minds; and what they
NAV have denounced as criminal ag-
gression" at one time becomes De
nevolent assimilation" at another.
1t must be remembered that the
United States is now a semi-Orientai
power owing to It's possession of the
Philippines. While a few years ago no
argument could have tempted the stay
at home American people to plant their
flag on Chinese soil such a course
would now be In the line of a rational
precaution. Whether willing or not the
United States Is a factor in the Far
Eastern problem. 1t must keep n larg-
er fleet on the Oriental side of the Pa
cific than on the Occidental side and
this fleet would be at much disadvan-
tage In war RI 1t had to run back to
Manila every time 1t needed coal or re-
pairs. Dewey was in straits indeed
when the British ordered him to leave
Hongkong after the outbreak of the
trouble with Spain, for his nearest pos
sble base was Honolulu, 5000 miles
away There was nothing to do but
attack Manila and he did so with for
tunate results. But our sea command
ers cannot always be expected to sup
ply the lack of base in that summary
r,ip when
they did not have n station on the
North China coast they would be
forced, under harmful stress of cir
cumstances, to do without.
If no territory should be taken by the
Americans they would surrender their
trade advantages for the promise,
which might prove to be an idle one,
of the open door. 1t is wise to have n
door of our own, for then we can talk
and practice reciprocity. Moreover If
America is to support missionaries in
China it ought to maintain a place of
refuge for them. Had we n fortress at
Shang hal -Kwan, for example, scores
of American and other missionaries,
who are now dead, might have been
rescued from their enemies.
There Is, too, the matter OF compen-
sation for damages done to American
life and property during these terrible
July days. For two Catholic priests
slain. Germany seized Kiaochau. What
shall the United States demand for the
wiping out of its whole missionary es-
tablishment outside the treaty. ports?
Perhaps nothing can be done now
owing to the pending elections; pos
sibly long war will intervene before
there can be any definite settlements in
China at all. But when the time comes
we hope the United States will act in
the spirit of enlightened self interest,
not unmindful of it's trading rights and
religious duties nor yet of its respon-
sibility as a co-guardian of the peace
in the great barbaric empire of the
Mongols. In that event we shall yet
see the Stars and Stripes raised over
some strategic part of the Chinese

RESULTS or ALLllD wARFARr.

II II going 10 be- n good thing Tor the

powers show each other their military

have caused needless wars by igno-

IRE than 90 others. lnsular con-
ceit brings on more wars than cupidity.
The French. inspired by the Napolconic
legend and by the fact that, In the
great conqueror's time, there were no
yassals more crnging than the princes
of Prussia, went to war with the Ger
mans as TO a festival. Sedan and Metz
taught them that the German people
were no longer the vanquished OF Jena
and Austerltz. Before the American
civil War the Southerners believed
that one of their class could Yhlp

hesitatingly into the fight that ended
with their undoing at Appomattox. The
Greeks underrated the Turks and the
English the Beers. Undoubtedly If all
these belligerents could have seen each

bats as the ones at TienTsln and Pc

other arbiter than the sword for their

The accession of comradeship and

ought to make the future partition of

could otherwise be hoped for. For

JUDGE TowNsEND's DECISION.

| The decision of United States Judge
Townsend that the Constitution does
not necessarily follow the flag, is of so
much local interest that the essential
| part of it is herewith reproduced:
! The trainers of the Constitution intend
ed that instrument not rs a limitation
upon the freedom of the new sovereign
| In acting for the States IN foreign affairs;
not as check to growth, but as the or
ganiC law of n nation that can live and
grow. To deny this power to govern ter
ritory at arms length would be to thwart
that intention to make the United States
an unfettered sovereign in foreign affairs
For IL we wage war successfully we must
some time become, as many think we are
now. charged with territory which 1t
would be the greatest folly to incorpor
ate at once into our Union, making our
laws it's laws, its citizens our citizens,
our taxes its taxes, and which, on the
other hand, international considerations
and the sense of our responsibility to its
Inhabitants may forbid us TO abandon.
Tho construction of the Constitution
which would limit our sovereign power
would force us into a dilemma between
violating our duty to other nations and
to the people under our care on the one
hand and violating our duty TO ourselves
on the other. That construction would in
such case imperl the honorable existence
of our republic. 1t could, not have been
intended by those who framed our Con
stitution that we should be born Grip
Pile among the nations.
There has been found. then, no reason
either on principle or authority why the
United States should not accept
sovereignty over territory without ad-
mitting IL as an integral part
OF the Union or making 1t bear
the burden of the taxation uniform
throughout our nation. To deny this
power is to deny to this nation an impor-
tant attribute of sovereignty. The intent
of the Constitution is to make the Fed
eral Government full sovereign with
powers equal to those OF other nations In
its dealings for the States In foreign af-
fairs.
The argument is generally accepted
by lawyers as a fair statement OF the
Constitutional position and by politi-
clans as judicial affirmation of time
honored Republican doctrine.
