WANT DOLE REMOVED.
He Asserts That Bribery Is Taking
Place.

Honolulu, May 4, via San Francisco,
May 1o-The Territorial Legislature has
passed a resolution containing a memo
rial to President Mckinley to remove
Gov. Dole. He is charged with obstruct-
ing legislation.
Gov. Dole Charges Bribery.
The President is asked in the resolution
to use his influence in behalf of an ex-
ira session OF the Legislature to transact
general legislation which Dole refuses TO
grant. The Hawaians claim they have
not had time in which to work out the
plans Of lawmaking they had formed in
the thirty days of the regular session. In
conclusion the home rulers ask that Dole
De removed If President Mckinley sees
no other way to bring about an extra ses-
sion Of the territorial legislature.
The concurrent resolution passed
through both houses by large majorltles,
all the native home rule members voting
for It.
Gov. Dole created a sensation in both
Houses by informing the committee sent
to him to ask for an extra. session that
one of his reasons for not granting an
extra session was that he had been re-
liably informed that bribery was taking
place. The governor has issued a proc
lamGtion calling for an extra session for
appropriation bills only to commence May
s. Circuit Judge Humphreys is about TO
call special grand jury to investigate
the charges of bribery in the legislature.

HENRY JOHNSON LYNCHED.
Had Attempted to AssnssInate Young
Foraker at Baxter.

Valdosta, Ga, May 1O.-News was re-
ceived here this morning of the lynching
OF a negro named Henry johnson, alias
Gator" near Moniac, on the Atlantic
Valdosta and Western road. The negro
was arrested at Crawford, Fla, and was
being held at Moniac until officers could
arrive and get him. During the night a
mob took charge of the prisoner and car
red him off in the swamp, where he was
tied to log and riddled with shot.
Last Monday the negro had a row with
a young white man named Foraker. VINO
keeps the commissary for Mobley & Co,
at Baxter. Tuesday night Mr. Mobley
aud Foraker were talking in the commits
sary and finlly the latter went out for
something. AS he opened the door he was
fired upon from the darkness. a load Of
barrel-riVets being used in loading the
gun which his assailant used. John son
was suspected of the shooting but ne
lodged out and was not seen until yes
terday, when he was caught at Craw-
ford He admitted the shooting and stated
that his intention was to kill Foraker
Johnson was of a bad reputation in the
reighborhood and it was probably that
fact which caused the mob to take
charge of his case.

SPECTATOR FAvoRs A BAcKDowN.
Let United States Construct Canal
Any Condition She Chooses


London, May 10.-The Spectator, in an
article 10 be published tomorrow on the
Nicaragua canal, trusts that the govern
ment will handle the problem with more
shrewdness and common sense than for
merly displayed and argues that Great
Britain holds all the cards in the diplo-
matte game and can easily permit the
Senate to abrogate the Clayton BulWer
treaty and give itself away so completely
that the United States will be put utter
~ in the wrong and Great Britain gain a
diplomatic victory at every point But it
VIII be much better to avoid that tempt
alton and approach the subject as though
the Clayton-B ulwer treaty were non-ex-
sstent II IS to Great Britain's interest
to ignore the Senate's i'll manners and
allow the United States to construct the
canal under any political conditions she
chooses, provided the canal be always
open to British shipping on the same
terms as American shipping. The Spec
tator will contend that the only alter
natives are either that Great Britain pre-
vent the canal from being built, or that
the Americans tear up the treaty and
compel Great Britain to suffer humiliation
or night. and the Spectator does not be-
lieVe for a moment that the British peo-
pie would sanction a war on the question
of the abrogation of the treaty,

when Kings Travel.
From the London Mail.


The fact that the King has been IN
Germany, and will shortly visit Denmark
and perhaps Homburg, is an indication
that he is likely to be as great a traveller
as the late Queen, who was probably out
of her kingdom more often than any
other monarch of modern times.
When the King travels he has privileges
under international law that no subject,
however illustrious, is allowed. Under
the law of extra -terriotriality he, as it
were, carries his kingdom with him
wherever he goes. No law can touch
him. Should he refuse to pay his hotel
bill he could not be sued in court for IL.
Should he travel without paying his fare
the railway company could do nothing.
We're his motor-car to run into a shop
window the proprietor of the shop could
not recover damages, however gross the
negligence.
The King would even be exempt from
the criminal law. In the improba bic
event Of his Majesty knocking down a
Frenchman in Paris or n German in Ber-
lin no policeman dare lay hands on him.
He could even upset the policeman him
self without fear of legal penalty.
II any visiting monarch chose TO do a
little amateur burgling the authorities
would be bound to overlook the matter.
and It is doubtful whether there is any
means by which the stolen property could
be recovered.
Thus king need never be in want Of
money in foreign country. 70, all he
has to do Is TO enter a bank, seize a bum
die OF notes. and put them in his pocket.
or break a jewelers. window and help
himself to any quantity OF watches
chains. chains, and precious stones He
could 90 into a restaurant, order mag
nifcent dinner with the rarest OF wines
and liqueurs and the best cigars. and re-
fuse to nay the bill. The restaurateur
would have absolutely no remedy. But II
a king assaulted even the humblest ,tti-
zen OF the foreign country in which he
was sojourning the citizen might hit
back And II, In that case. the King got
the worst Of the encounter he would have
no redress. Likewise, n the authorities
got wind of a Kings Intention to commit
some offense against the law they would

until his own government was communi-
Gated with. But they could not keep him
a prisoner moment longer than was ne
cessary, and the restraint would have to
be of the mildest possible nature. In eX-
IRENE cases they could request the King
to leave the country. And if he commit
ted an objectionable abuse of hospitality
they could even convey him beyond the
frontier.
These rules hold good only when the
King goes into a country openly and
aboveboard If he had gone in clandes-
timely he would have very little further
rights than an ordinary subject. If the
King, while abroad, were treated with
disrespect, the foreign government would
have to make amends. The King repre-
sents the state, and disrespect to him is
disrespect to his country. Still, kings are
sometimes offended, and they have even
been tried for breaches of the law in the
criminal courts. Such an event is
extremely rare in history and prac-
tically impossible now, Democratic as all
nations have grown. There is a sort of
brotherhood of nations that would pre-
vent it. For now, an indignity to any
sovereign is regarded as an offense to all
soVereigns. Not only is the King him
self above the law in foreign countries,
but all his servants, from the minister
who accompanies him down to the coach
man, are also above 1t to a certain ex-
tent They can be sued for debt but they
cannot be arrested. For II is assumed tina [
the King would be inconvenience by the
arrest of any OF his servants, and thus
their arrest would be an affront to him.
As matter of constitutional law the
King of England was at one time a sort
of prisoner in his own country. The Act
of Settlement lays it down that mo per-
son who shall hereafter come to the pos
session of this crown shall go out of the
dominions of England, Scotland. and Ire
land without the consent of Parliament"
This harsh law was repealed on the ac-
cesson of George l., and that monarch,
when he went to Germany in 1716. merely
announced to Parliament his intention
of going.
George III, it is interesting to note,
never left his kingdom; indeed, during his
entire reign he was never more than 100
miles from his place of birth.
Many English monarchs besides George
III never left the kingdom from the day
of their accession. These were Edward
VI. Queen Mary, Queen Eliza beth. James
!. Charles I. Charles H. and James II. TIL
his expulsion. But such state Of things
is not likely to obtain again.

WHITE INDIAN FOR WOMEN.
1t Attracts the Sex to a Particular
store for Their Cigarettes,
From the New York Journ

From the New York Journal
There is a white Indian enrolled as a
permanent resident of an uptown block
in Atlanta, Ga, in neighborhood where
good clothes obtain and the street con-
versations are grammatical, If not up
lifting. This Indian is usually to be found
standing outside the shop OF a purveyor
of tobacco to the fashionable. At other
times he is inside
A man who entered the shop the other
day bought his cigar and casually in
quired as to the color of the wooden sign
II have seen a good many cigar store
Indians" he said, but this is the first
white cigar store Indian 1 recoIlect What
is the idea in having him painted this
pure COLOR"
Why" said the proprietor, hesitatingly
why, well, if you must know, l do il to
attract the ladies'
1.-THE ladies?" said the customer
Why, certainly" said the shopman
The ladies smoke. AS matter of fact,
they are my best paying customers. When
l first started business in this neighbor-
hood 1 had the regulation brown Indian
in front of the store. One day young
woman came in and asked for a package
OF cigarettes. She went to unnecessary
trouble to convince me that they were
for her brother, who was sick and coudn' [
come for them himself, never seeming to
think that il was pretty funny for a man
to be so sick he couldn't walk out of the
house, and yet could smoke cigarettes I
asked her what kind he smoked and she
said she had heard the name, but had
forgotten. Oh, she tried hard to be foxy
But she gave herself away when l showed
her one brand and she said oh, that
kind bites my tongue After that she
blushed and began talking about my sign
She said the brown Indians were so
ugly, and she asked why didn't have
a white Indian. She said white was so
much more gratifying to the eye, and
somehow or other she conveyed the idea
that If l put a white Indian in front of
the shop all the other girls could come
here to buy cigarettes for their sick
brothers. / didn't attempt to explain
what her motives were, but / could see
she was in favor of white / knew who
she was. Her father is a wealthy broker
and she has lots of money to spend on
sick brothers cigarettes, so l Just spent
a couple of dollars in having the Indian
painted white.
THE next time she came in she didn't
say anything about her sick brother, but
she did comment on the changed appear
ance of the Indian, and she let me see
she was fiattered that l had taken her
advice Ever since then she has been do
ing a good deal to build up my business.
I don't care very much now for mans
trade-no offense to you, strand l never
will let any of the young fellows get In
the habit of lounging around the store
That would keep the women away. and
it's their patronage that pays nv rent
and gives me a profit"
