CHICAGO CENTENNIAL ENDS.
Winds Up Celebration In IA Blaze of
Fireworks Before the Largest
Crowd Since worlds Fair.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Chicagos centen-
nial celebration closed Saturday night
In a blaze of fireworks, which illumi-
nted the largest crowd ever assembled
on the lake front Estimates of the
number which witnessed the greatest
fireworks display seen here since the
Worlds fair ranged from 100000 to
1875. 900 persons. Out in the lake scores
of craft cruised about, their size vary
ing from the small rowbOat and the
diminutiye yachts to the big excursion
steamers, which were packed to the
guards.
The exhibition began when red and
white fires burst out along the govern
ment pier for distance of several
blocks. A discharge of bombs and sky
rockets followed Immediately thl
bombs exploding in midair and scatter
ing red, white and blue stars in tht
thousands. This brilliant lombard
ment was kept up for an hour and
quarter, while at intervals set pieces
were fired and oddities introduced
Fort Dearborn at one time appeared il
fiery outline; at another time Chicago
was symbolized as a phoenix risini
from its ashes; the statue of Libert,
stood forth; a balloon rose and from
| broke out the American flag.

sale Of State Lands.

Land Commissioner Nall makes a
report for the fiscal year ending Oc-
tobcr /, showing a total Of $l0i,-
64,. .39 collected and paid into the
State treasury during the year. This
is an admirable showing. The re-
ceipts which go to make up tins
amount come from various sources,
including land sales and fees. These
figures do not quite come up TO the
receipts of the two previous years.
but then it should be considered that
the State lands are gradually becom-
inp exhausted and the sales are
growing less every year.

MANK!CHI DECISION

continued from page 81
petit jury; and if he had been then sem
fenced to be hanged and was hanged,
the Judge of that court would have
been guilty of judicial murder. OF that
the decisions of this court leave no
room to doubt.
In my opinion the Constitution of the
United States became the supreme law
of Hawaii Immediately upon the APP
prevail of the joint resolution of 1898,
and without any action upon the part
of Congress. From the moment that
resolution became a law, every human
being in Hawaii, charged with the
commission of crime there, could right
ly insist that neither his life nor his
liberty could be taken as punishment
for crime by any process or as the re-
suit of any mode of procedure that was
inconsistent with the Constitution of
the United States.
Can it be that the Constitution is the
supreme law in the States of the Union,
and in the organized Territories of the
United States between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, and yet was not the
supreme law in territories and among
peoples situated like the Territory and
people of Hawaii, and over which the
United States acquired all rights of
sovereignty of whatsoever kind? a
negative answer to this question and a
recognition of the principle that such
an answer involves, would mean that
the benefit of the provisions designed
for the protection of life and liberty
may be claimed by some of the people
subject to the authority and jurisdic-
ton of the United States, but cannot
be claimed by others equally subject to
its authority and jurisdiction. 1t would
mean that the will of Congress, not the
the land for certain peoples and ter
ritores under our jurisdiction.
1t would mean that If this people do
not retraoe their steps, If the princi-
pies now announced should become
firmly established. the time may not be
far distant when under the exactions
of trade, and commerce, and 10 crafty
