A DEATH SHREK IN THE AIR.

Never since news of the massacre at
Cawnpore has the Western world been
so Mortified as it has been by the ac-
count of the murder of the ambassadors
and other foreigners in Picking. Their
blood cries aloud for vengeance to the
western powers and vengeance must be
taken sure and sharp. AS one thinks
over the accounts the full horror grad
luaIIy deepens Consider those dignified
gray haired men, the representatives of
the mightiest powers upon earth, iso-
lated from their countrymen, surround
ed by bowling mob of human demons,
and as the only resource to save their
wives and daughters from a fate too
horrible to contemplate, calmly taking
the lives of those who were nearest and
and dearest to them. They could not
protect their lives, but they could give
them the protection of death, the last
and only act of kindness. 1t was hero
&c, it was grand. 1t is a memory to be
treasured among the most noble, though
the most narrowing, in the history of
the century.
The western world will pour it's forces
into China, but it will be no child's play
this furnishing a nation of 400, 900, 900 of
people China is aflame with fanati-
cism from one end of the empire to the
other Its population may break its
bounds and pour into Siberia and Cen
trail Asia, and the Western world will
be facing what the old world faced in

have considered ourselves so strong and
now we suddenly find that we are
weaker than we had any idea of.
In the general cry of "to arms!'
which is now resounding through the
world Hawaii can join. We have young
men who are acquainted with the use
of arms We have officers who have
had experience in leading men, Why
should not the Territory of Hawaii
raise its quota of meh to join the army
of the Republic in avenging the death
of our brethren in China. A force of
rough riders could be raised here fully
one thousand strong, and we can feel
sure that they would add the first lau-
rel to our military renown. This is a
matter in which all can join We are
the outwork of Western civilization,
and we should be ready to spring for
ward al the first alarm cry. That cry
rings in our ears. The death shrek of
the matron and the maid swelIs in the
air and sweeps across the Pacific de-
manding vengeance. Who can turn a
deaf ear to the cry. Certainly not the
loyal and chivalrous youth of this Ter
ritOry The blood of our murdered
countrymen summons us to arms!

The old Judiciary building has had a
very thorough renovation. The federal
officials will find themselves quite com
fortably housed. If ever public build
ing needed being put in order, the Ju-
dietary building was case in point
The building, itself, is good enough, the
rooms are large and airy, but the wood
work was in many cases honeycombed
by white ants, and the walls and floors
required painting and cleaning.

The German residents on the Islands
propose to send a contingent to China
if the German Emperor will accept of
their services. A few of our boys have
smelt powder in the Philippines with
the United States forces, but this will
be the first time that a fighting con-
tingent, fully equipped, has left our
shores. No doubt the Hawaiio- German
contingent will give brilliant account
of itself.

The extension of the streets rs a very
necessary Improvement in our local adj
vancement. There has been considera-
bic progress in this direction during the
last few years. The extension of Fort
street will, it is to be hoped, be car
ried out soon, as it will afford an outlet
for the traffic from Pauoa, which at the
present time has to pass along the
Pauoa Valley road.

Gratitude seems to be an unknown

virulent hatred appears to be in inverse
ratio to the benefits conferred and the

HE JUMPED FROM TRAIN
Mcguire Cut His Head. Washed Up
and Continued His Journey
Special to the Evening Journal.

Special 10 the Evening Journal
New Castle, May 12.-That it is not
an easy matter for an inexperienced
man to jump with safety from freight
train, is doubtless realized by James
Mcguire. of Salisbury, Md.
James is a young man, who is evil
IDENTIFY not accustomed to stealing rides
on freight trains Yesterday he con-
cluded to 90 TO Philadelphia and
boarding one of the north-bound fast
freight trains, he rode to this city be-
fore he was disturbed by any OF the
train crew, and when he was James
proceeded TO Jump from the train.
He did so just as the train pulled
on to the "cut-of,' and, not being fa-
miliar with the ground at that particu-
lar spot. he rolled head foremost down
the embankment When he recovered
himself he found blood issuing from a
deep cut over his right eyes, his arms
bruised and his clothing disarrangec
and much soiled.
AT a neighboring pump he made him
| self presentable then boarded a troll
ley car for Wilmington, evidently beinl
satisfied that It was better to continue
his journey in first-class style than L
travel on the next freight train.

Special to the Evening Journal.


New Castle, May 12.-Six thousand
shad were brought to the wharf by the
fishermen yesterday. And they brought
good prices. the best, in fact, that shad
have demanded in two weeks, roes sell
Ing for as high as s1S per hundred;
straights, sl2, and bucks, 81. OF the
catch but two carloads were shipped,
these going to New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore
The fishermen say that shad will be
In great demand next week, when they
expect the best fish, the roes, to bring
as high as 81. This increase will be
due, of course, to the fact that the sea-
son is waning.
John A. Walls yesterday afternoon
received information from the Omaha
(NebD commission men to whom
he shipped half carload Of shad early
last week, that the fish had arrived
there in prime condition, and that
they brought better prices than shad
have ever demanded in that Western
city. MIR. Walls packed the fish in
paper and ice, and, as their shipment
demonstrated that the flavor Of the fish
was not impaired. he purposes to open
market in Omaha and other cities
next season. He believes the shad will
bring better prices there than they viii

More Trouble Ahead for
Delaware City Railway
PROTEST. AGAINST "T" RAIL
Many People Have DeSpaired Of Seeing
the Trolley Extension Com
pIeted This Summer
specIaI to the EvenIng Journnl.

special 10 llt Evening journal
New Castle, May 12-Another in
junction suit against the New Castle
and Delaware City Electric Railway
Company is threatened. This time it is
property owners out in Dobbinsville,
who are opposed to the trolley COM
pany laying the much despised "T"
rail in front Of their properties.
No rails have been laid in that sec
tion. and to this is due the fact that
legal action has not been taken to re-
strain the work. lt is probable that the
work of laying the rails will be begun
next week, and If John c. Mahoney
who already has prevented work in
front OF his Seventh street property
knows the sentiments Of property own
ers below him, they will also make le-
gal objection to the work which the
company proposes to do so close to the
premises.
Dobbinsville residents admit that the
trolley road will be of great benefit to
them as a conveyance to Wilmington
and to other points, and that it will
probably lead to the building up OF
the neighborhood. but they are salts
fled that prospective builders will not
locate on that side OF the road on which
the trolley cars will run, as the tracks
are to be but three feet from the build
ing line. This, Of course, will prevent
vehicles from stopping on that side OF
the street.
