night), we have this to say Of then
we don't believe them. No real, true
and patriotic Hawaiian can become
such in these few short years since
annexation. When they say 80, they
are insincere, because no one can
really love and respect thief aud
robber in such short time. They
merely say it for effect, and nothing
can be gained, for white Americans
can never be made 10 believe their
sincerity in the same manner ss we
do. But we admit that we are Am.
ericans as we'll as any other OF that
people, because we have been made
such, not by choice, but by coercion
and compulsion, conditions over
which we had no voice and no con-
troll. We had TO submit and take
our medicine like good children be-
ing one OF those things that we
could not very we'll help ourselves.
Moreover, we had to eat humble pie
and quietly submit like little ones
and whipped ours. Instead OF being
good citizens, we deem ourselves
subjects, because our country wss
taken over as the result OF war,
thereby becoming q conquered terri
tory without our wish and without
being consulted in the matter,

Hawaii Should Oppose.

II is impossible to sec how tie
Hawaiian Islands would be benefit
ted by any scheme OF legislation for
the further assistance OF Ameriean
shipping. The French or dozen
ether plans would benefit the few
sailing vessels that are owned here,
but that is as far ss ths thing goes.
To Offset this, however, the Islands
would have to pay more for trans
portstion, either in taxes to meet
tho strain OF subsidies, or in actual
increase OF rates as the natural re-
salt OF the absence Of foreign COM
petition. Protection to American
shipping has already rendered sew
eral ocean liners useless 90 freight

to American shipping in the foreign
trade amounts 10 just 80 many dol

Parmalee Co. and widely known in
this and other business communities,
was drowned to-day at Manhattan
beach near Redondo while bathing in
the surf. He lost his life only after
a heroic effort had been made to save
him by w. Anderson, one of his en-.
ployss, Anderson remaining with the
drowning han until only the absolute
necessity of saving his own life caused
him to release his hold,
Horner and Anderson, torether with
a large party of the employees of the
company. went to the beach for a days
outing and seven members of the party
went into the surf. Horner was a
strong swimmer and he swan out be-
yond the shore waves and called
Anderson to him. Before Anderson
reached him Borner began calling for
help. Anderson Immediately respond
ed and a desperate battle with the
waves began. Horner weighed about
200 pounds and he seel-ed utterly un-
able to help himself, but with Ander-
sons assistance he fioated on his back
for fully fifteen minutes while the latter
strove heroically to get out of the rough
breakers with his burden.
Two others broke into the boat house
nearby and pulled out an old boat, but
the craft was leaky and the struggling
pair of human beings in the water
could not be reached. All efforts to
save the men with ropes failed. The
two were pounded in the breakers and
frequently separated, but not until
Horner turned over face Forward and
gave up the fight did Anderson desert
his charge and attempt to save him
self Thoroughly exhausted with his
long battle with the waves, Anderson
had hard fight to reach the shore, but
he finally accomplished 1t with the as
sistance of his friends. Horner's body
foated on the water and came in near
enough to be secured by other bathers.

PORTLAND, Or. June 5.-Oregon
will return a big Republican victory
tomorrow. Estimates of the figures
vary. but a majority of 1900 is as
sured and sanguine Republicans fig
ure on as much as 10000,
This triumph of the Republicans is
due in large measure to the popular
ity of President Roosevelt. whose name
has been freely used to compare with.
Especially has this been the case in
the First Congressional District, where
Binger Hermann is on the ticket to
succeed himself in the national House.
1t was thought few days ago that
Hermann's land Office record would
cut down his majority to a low fig
ure, but later returns indicate a plur
ality of 5000 votes.
Congressman j. N Williamson, in
the Second District, will have a plural
ity of 10000 or more. He has not taken
an active part in the campaign, his
duties at Washington OBTAINING him

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
June SIN the con-
troversy between the President and
Senators and other party leaders who
oppose the selection of Secretary Cor
telyou for chairman of the Republican
National Committee, Mr.. Roosevelt has
won his point and those who criticized
the choice stand ready to yield without
further contention, according to inti-
mates OF the administration. 1t Is at
least quite certain that the President
has not-changed his mind and will not.
This little affair at one time looked
ominous, but when the President, after
summing up all criticisms and sugges-
tions and analyzing their reasons, an
nounced that he still stood by Cortel-
you, the leaders saw that further OBJ
lection was useless.
Had former Governor Murray Crane
of Massachusetts been willing to ac-
cept the question would have been
solved without any difficulty whatever.
But when the names of Senators Pen
rose and Gallinger, Governor Murphy
of New Jersey and j. w. Blythe were
presented 1t was found there could be
no agreement even among the leaders
themselves. Then it was that the Pres
ident decided upon Cortelyou.
An interesting story reached Wash
ington by way of Iowa last night to
the effect that j. Pierpont Morgan and
j. ]. Hill had demanded ]. W. Blythe
for national chairman as the price of
their friendship to Mr.. Roosevelt dur
ing the campaign. This was very quick
ly mailed" to-day by member of the
who, more than any
one else, except the President himself,
has been concerned in the naming of
the campaign manager. He said the
report was absolutely absurd.
