4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 1898. CLARK NOW REGRETS HIN CONEESSION The Murder Suspect Fears Death by the Rope. Sorry That He Confirmed His Sister-in-Law’s Accusations. Admits Undue Intimacy, but Swears He Is Innocent of Murder. HER STORY IS BELIEVED. Napa County People Confident That the Prisoner Took His Broth- er's Life. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. NAPA, Jan. 23.—George Clark’s startling admission to The Call correspondent last evening has given him much regret to-day. He sald when seen this afternoon that he was in an excited and unaccountable state of mind; otherwise he would not have said what he did. Last night at 9 o'clock Sheriff McKenzie visited the | cell of the murderer to tell him what his victim's widow had sworn to at the Inquest. Accompanying the Sheriff was The Call representative, who at the request of the Sheriff read to the accused all the evidence adduced at | the inquest. Clark listened attentively, but was nervous and uneasy. When the reading was completed he coughed | several times and said: “As God is my witness I am inno- cent.” Sheriff McKenzie spoke as follows: then arose and “Mr. Clark, I desire to inform you, if | you are not aware of it, that you need | not speak unless you wish to. Talk if Yyou desire, but don’t if you wish not.” The prisoner proceeded to talk, how- ever, and close questioning brought forth the admission that he had been intimate with his brother's wife. “‘She has told me that I am thefather of one or more of her children,” he said, “but I do not know it, and I think it is false.” This is the admission over which he feels regret to-da “1 was crowded last night and said more than I should have sald,” re- marked Clark. A moment later said: “My friend, when the eritical mo- ment arrives I will tell the truth, no matter who it hurts.” He was questioned as to the meaning of this, but he would not explain. This afternoon the Salvation Army corps visiting the prisoner in his cell. They sang a few hymns and then invited him to pray. He consented and in sub- stance prayed as follows: “‘O Lord, thou knowest the minds of all. Thou knowest the gcod and thou knowest the wicked. Bless us this day and do unto us as we would be done by. | Be merciful to us and forgive those whe sin against thee. Thou knowest, O Lord, that I, accused of a great crime, am innocent. Help me in my hour of need and deliver me in the enq from these who would wrong me. So might it be.” A while after the departure of the Balvationists several members of the Adventist faith arrived from St. He- lena and visited the prisoner in his cell. “I sent for them,” said Clark, “for in the present trying moment they are the dearest friends I have on earth. Just now I would prefer to see nobody but Christians—good earnest Christians at that. A few weeks ago I was in corre- spondence with the Pacific Press Pub- lishing Company relative to canvassing for certain books of theirs, and if this trouble hadn’t occurred I would now have been working for them.” There remains but little doubt that Clark is guilty. The sentiment against him s general. The story of the widow is so plausible and the circumstances 50 fit her revelations that it seems im- possible for him to escape the gallows. Last night, under the fire of several reporters, Clark nearly broke down and went so far as to say, “It looks as though I must take the rope.” He was worried to-day because the attorney who he thought would take his case had stayed away from him. He did not seem to know that he was entitled to counsel whether he had funds or not. DR. HALL DECIDES TO RETAIN HIS PULPIT. Will Continue to Guide the Destinies of New York’s Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church. NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—Dr. John Hal to-day announced from the pulpit of the Fifth-avenue Presbyterian Church that he had reconsidered his determination to resign the pastorate and would continue in the sorvice of the church. “In view of the unanimous action o congregation, 1 have decided to eonumis God wiling, "the work of the pastorate while strength is given from above, and I am prepared to welcome any form of as- sistance regarded as desirabie by the cons &regation and its officers.” The official announcement of the action of Dr. Hall will be made to the congrega- tion a week from next Wednesday.

JOHNSON HIS SUCCESSOR. The Regimental Band May Again Be Chosen Entirely From Mill City Musicians. Special Dispatch to The Call. FRESNO, Jan. 23.—Next month Colonel 8. S. Wright of the Sixth Regi- ment, N. G. C., will leave for the Klon- dike, resigning his colonelcy. This means that Fresno, after being the reg- imental headquarters since the resig- nation of Colonel J. J. Nunan of Stock- ton I winter, will again lose the military post, which will go back Lo the Mill City. William Johnson of Stockton, who was elected lieutenant- colonel a few weeks ago in this city, i\\Hl advance to the colonelcy. John- | son _had been captain of Company A at Stockton for a great many years, | issue orders from Stockton for the Sixth Regiment instead of the orders | coming from this city. C. O. Lemon, first lieutenant of Company C of this city, will accompany Colonel Wright and he will endeavor to obtain a fur- lough. Colonel Wright and Lieutenant Lem- on returned from San Francis. » on the midnight train last night, having made | arrangements for their northern trip. | They have a dog team and are all equipped for their voyage. Lieutenant Lemon will return to the metropolis next Wednesday to complete the ar- rangements and will be joined there by Colonel Wright next month. Colonel ‘Wright, upon his return last night, au- thorized the statement in regard to his Klondike trip and his resignation as colonel of the Sixth Regiment. The Fresno musicians are the most anxio about the change which will be caused by Colonel Wright's resigna- tion. Before his promotion to the | coloneley the regimental band was sta- tioned at Stockton, but when he as- | sumed charge of the regiment he di- | vided it, half the band being in Stock- ton and the other half being organized | from Fresno musicians here under | Leader Cray of this city. It is feared | that when Johnson becomes colonel he will again g Stockton the full band. It is tacitly understood that Captain Cook of Bakersfield, who was John- son’s chlef rival for the lieutenant- colonelcy at the election here a few weeks ago, will receive the support of the commissioned officers for the lieu- tenant-colonelcy. In fact he received a personal assurance from Major Grant | of Stockton that he would be sup- ported for advancement at the very first vacancy, and it was on account of | that pledge that Cook's friends sup- ported Johnson toward the close of the | fight. Should Lemon be unable to pro- cure the desired furlough a vacancy will occur in Company C, which will result in the advancement of Second Lieutenant Jones of that company. Jones is now acting as adjutant during the absence of Adjutant O. Scribner. The guardsmen here are very much grieved over the fact that Fresno will lose the headquarters of the regiment, particularly as Stockton has had_the will be made to retain half of the regi- mental band. HAWAILAN VOTE WILL BE LATE Senate Will Not Consider the Treaty During This Week. Final Action on the Measure Not Likely Until Late in February. Special Dispatch to The Call. ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—The present outlook is unfavorable to the Senate's giving much attention to the Hawaiian treaty dyring this week. The agreement to vote on Thursday on the Teller reso- lution confirming the doctrine that United States bonds are payable in silver at the option of the Government will, in all probability, result in the Senate’'s giving the major portion of its time until that date to this measure, with the exception of that necessary to the consideration of appropriation bills. Senator Turpie has given notice of a speech on the Teiler resolution_this week, and It is expected speeches for it will be made by Senator ‘elier, Pettigrew, White and others, and that there will be some addresses in 0ppo- sition. Senator Nelson has offered an amendment declaring for the mainte- nance of the parity of the two metals, but the silver men, considering this proposed modification hostile to their purposes, will not accept it. They say they will insist upon a vote upon the resolution as it stands. The pension appropriation bill will be called up M&mflnge and as soon as it is disposed of the nate will be asked to take up the legislative, executive and ju- dicial appropriation bill. Each of these will provoke some debate, but it is not exgected to be prolonged in either case. When the treaty next comes up Senator Teller will be recognized to speak in its supgort. and he probably will be followed by Senator White In opposition. The vote on the treaty now appears at least three weeks distant. The House programme for this week in- cludes little of interest bevond the limits of the District of Coiumbia. Almost the entire week wili be devoted to the District of Columbia appropriation bill. It is ex- pected the Indian appropriation bill, the consideration of which was begun yester- day, will be completed to-morrow. The only item in the bill which is likely to cause much of a contest is that providing for the leasing of the gilsonite beds of the Uncom reservation in Utah. This provision was beaten in the last In- dian bill, and will be stubbornly contested now. The district bill will probably con- sume the remainder of the week. premtai s Damage Done by Wind.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Jan. 23.—President and Mrs. Sanford B. Dole of Hawaif arrived | in Chicago at 8:05 o'clock this mcrn- | Ing. Notwithstanding the heavy storm which delayed suburban trains in the vicinity of Chicago half an howr the first section of the Chicago and North- western Railroad train No. 2, known | as the overland limited from San Fran- cisco, pulled into the depot in Chicago | within twenty minutes of the schedule | time. A distinguished party greeted the | President of the little island republic | | on his arrival. The Federal Govern- | ment was represented by Judge Gross- cup, General John C. Elack, United States District Attorney; Thomas E. | McMillin, clerk of the United States | District Coart, and Hcn. Thomas W. Cridler of the State Department at ‘Washington. Chicago was represented by Mayor Harrison and the army and navy by Major Heistand and Licu- tenant-Commander Phelps respective- | Iy, who were resplendent in full-dress | uniform and several pounds of gold lace. In addition to these gcntlemeni | the President was welcomed by Gen- | | eral Brooke and his staff, consisting of | Captain Richards and Lieutenants Dean and McKenna; Hon. F. A. Hatch, | | Minister to the United States from Ha- | | William Penn Nixon, Dr. Henry | C. Lyman and the Chicago Consul, Dr. | | F. W. Job. President Dole’s party consisted of himself, Mrs. Dole, Secretary laukea and Dr. Day, his physician. The foi- | lowing ladies were also present: IMrs. | Grosscup, Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. | Brooke. On arriving in Chicago the | | reception committee entered Fresident | | Dole’s private car and welcomed him to Chicago. The first to shake hands | | with him was Judge Grosscup, who | said: | “President Dole, I am instructed by the President of the United States to welcome you here. I am pleased to in- | troduce you to Secretary Cridler, rep- | resenting the President, and Mayor | Harrison of Chicago.” | | “After the exchange of courtesies and | a welcome to Chicago on behalf of the |city by Mayor Harrison, President Dole cordially responded to the greet- |ing, and seemed pleased with the | | hearty reception given to him. Mrs. | | Dole, who won the hearts of every one | | present by her unaffected and pleasant | | manner, thanked the ladies of the com- | | mittee for coming out so early in the | day to welcome her, and seemed to ap- | preciate very highly the reception she | received in Chicago. | _The party at once proceeded in car- | | riages to the Auditorium Annex, where | suite 1102 had been reserved for the Their rooms are situated at | the northeast corner of the hotel on| the parlor floor, and are the same apartments occupied by President Mc- | Kinley two years ago, when he visited Chicago to address the Marquette Club. The suite, which was decorated with La France roses and draped with a Hawalian flag, consists of a drawing- room and three bedrooms. On arriving at the hotel General Brooke extended an invitation to Presi- dent and Mrs. Dole to visit Fort Sheri- dan on Monday morning, where a parade of the garrison will be given in their honor. The invitation was ac- cepted, and the party will leave Chi- cago to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock by special train on the Chicago and Northwestern, returning to Chicago at noon. This morning President and Mrs. Dole attended the Church of the Mes- siah. At 1 o’clock to-morrow a lunch- eon will be tendered the distinguished guests at Kinsley's by a number of former residents of Hawaii and other friends. Dr. Henry Lyman has charge of this affair, which promises to be a very pleasant reunion of old acquaint- ancea. At 3 o'clock a formal reception will be held at the Union League Club, to which invitations have been for- warded to all the clubs in Chicago and which will give President Dole an op- portunity of meeting a representative body of Chicago citizens. i ‘While the arrangements are not en- tirely completed, it is probable that President Dole will leave Chicago at 10:30 a. m. Tuesday morning for Wash- ington by the Baltimore and Ohio road, this company having tendered him the use of the finest private car in its serv- ice. One of the attentions most appreclat- ed by the visitors has been the offer of Manager Stevenson of the Long Mis- tance Telephone Company of the free use of their wires while in Chicago. WORST STORM IN YEARS SWEEPS THROUGH THE EAST. Railway Schedules Demoralized Through the + Breaking Down of Telegraph Wires. CHICAGO, Jan. 23.—The snowstorm of last night_and this morning was the worst in this city for years. The great- est damage was caused by the breaking down of telegraph and telephone wires. The police telephone system was badly crippled and there was much trouble with the city fire alarm system.

Special Dispatch to The Call. JACKSONVILLE, Fla.,, Jan. 23—A telegram from Key West say: Ad- miral Sicard, with the battle-ships New York, Indiana, Massachusetts, Iowa and Texas, arrived off the bar at 10 o'clock. The Maine, Montgom- ery and Detroit and torpedo boats, | Cushing and Dupont, went out and | joined the fleet. An important mes- | sage was received here at 11 o’clock for Admiral Sicard, but there is no way of transportation to the fleet. Telegrams received from Havana last night state that extra guards had been placed around General Lee’s of- fice for protection. Circulars were distributed around Havana, calling on the volunteers for the protection of the American colony. There is no news of an attempt to assassinate Lee. The commander of the naval station at Key West received a message from General Lee this afternoon. He says the city is safe, but there is suppressed excitement in the American colony. The white squadron is anchored at Key | West and will sail for Dry Tortugas early to-morrow morning. | A special to the Times-Unlon and | Citizen from Key West says: There has been excitement in this city during the last twenty-four hours, due to an| alarming telegram from Havana stat- | ing that the streets had been flooded with an anonymous ultra-Spanish cir- | cular, calling upon all anti-Americans | to mobilize and rald the American| colony. Captain-General Blanco, fear- ful that the rabid element of the city might attempt such violence, placed an extra military guard around Consul General Lee's office. Many of th Americans of the city who believe tha they are in real danger have prepared their affairs in any emergency. This news is what gave rise to the rumor that General Lee had been assassinated. The Spanish Consul here was uneasy over the repeated rumors td the effect that General Lee had fallen a victim to assassins, and wired to the authori- ties of Havana for the truth. MADRID, Jan. 23.—The report that American warships have been ordered to Cuban waters has caused great ex- citement here. The Imparcial, in the course of a violent article, says: “We see now the eagerness of the Yankees to seize Cuba.” A grand banquet was given at the palace this evening in honor of the name day of the King. The members | of the Cabinet and the principal mem- bers of the diplomatic corps were pres- ent. The Cabinet met afterward and decided, so it is reported, to address a manifesto to the country. One Min- in the course of an interview, said the Government was quiet and tranquil respecting the movements of the American warships, which were fully known to the Minister of Ma- rine. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—So far as could be learned the administration has no advices from Havana to-day. Both the State and Navy departments af- firmed that nothing had been heard from General Lee, and professed to look upon the lack of news as a good sign. On the other hand, the city was full of rumors, ranging in importance from the statement that the white squadron had sailed from Key West to that of Lee's being assassinated at Havana. Inquiry, however, falled to reveal any basis for sensational re- ports. —_— GENERAL PAODQ WOUNDED. Desperate Fighting Reported From Along the Cautro River. Copyright, 159, by James Gordon Bennett. HAVANA, Jan. 23—Reports have just district, where General Pando has been operating, to the effect that General Pan- do has been seriously wounded in an en- gagement with insurgents. No details of the fight have been received here, but late reports show that there has been hot fighting all along the Cauto River. General Pando is now in or near Man- zanillo, his operations against the rebels having so far been practically without re- sults. Despite the heavy force he has with him, t;:e insurgents, aided by natur- al defensive positions, have, been able to revent him making any headway, and at ast reports General Pando was awaiting the arrival of more artillery and troops from Havana, before making another important move against the rebels.

PARIS, Jan. 22—In the course of an interview with the Herald correspondent at Grasse, Cardinal Vaughan, discussing Anglo-American relations, said: “We know exactly what these occasion- al outbursts of hostility against England are worth, especially at election time. It appears that your better men do not go into politics. “As long as that state of things exists, as long as the best men stand aloof, you should never be sur- rised if the country feels the effects or is into some suicidal policy. It be the natural result sooner or ater. “‘Public men should be of the best, otherwise it must come to a catechism. ok, e, Soverpment ot Saeiand.

Thei modb Invaded the Jewish quarter and pillaged the shops in the Rue Baba- | zoua, driving the Jewish merchants out into the streets. A squadron of the Chasseurs was ordered to the scene and charged the mob with drawn swords, but the mab reformed further on, cheering for the army. Revolvers and daggers were freely used. One man who was stabbed in the back and shot in the head, died on the spot, and many were seriously wounded, one, named Cayol, dying from his wounds at 4 o’clock this after- noon. The crowd hearing of this be- came dangerously excited, shouting: “‘They're murdering us. Death to the Jews!" The mob then resumed the pillaging. The fronts of six shops were destroyed. The police repeatedly charged the riot- ers, but were stubbornly resisted and were powerless to restore order until the troops arrived. Several policemen | nors of States outside of New York on were severely maltreated. Many ar- rests for theft have been made. The | Jewish authorities recommend their | co-religionists to remain in doors. | i Both the men killed in the riots were | Christians, and their companions have | sworn to avenge them. } Disturbances and the looting of Jew- | ish shops continued throughout the evening, despite the efforts of the | troops to quell disorders. | At 10 o'clock to-night some Jewish flower stores were pillaged and their | contents thrown into the streets. Zouaves then charged the crowd with fixed bavonets dispersed them, many | persons being injured. At the moment | his dispatch is sent (11 o’clock) the | ioters are reassembling on the quays | and setting fire to the Jewish spirit stores. Troops are being hurried to the spot.

The streets are patrolled by the troops. st SLIGHT DISTURBANCES DESPITE THE POLICE. Noisy Anti-Dreyfus Meeting at Paris, From Which the More Boisterous Are Expelled. | PARIS, Jan. 23.—In anticipation of the | prohibited anti-Dreyfus demonstration to-day, under the direction of the organ- izing committee of the anti-Dreyfus | meeting at the Tivoll Vauxhall last Mon- | day night, stringent measures were taken | by the authorities to preserve order. The | Place de la Concorde and the garden of | the Tuileries were held by a detachment | of cavalry and infantry and a large force | of police. Nothing happened until this afternoon, the time announced for the meeting to protest Agaainl( the pro-Drey- | fus agitation in_the lle des Milles sec- tion and in the Mont Parnesse quarter. The approaches to the hall were occu- pied by the police and mounted Republi- can guards. while the precaution was taken of removing all the chairs from the interior. The police refused admission to known anarchists, but many of the less prominent evaded police vigilance, gained admittance and created disturbances. Thiebavd was elected to the chair and the noisiest disturbers of the pro- ceedings were expelled from the hall.” M. Thiebaud proposed that a wreath be laid on the Strasbourg statue and the pro- sal was greeted with cries of “Vive 'Armee” and ‘‘Vive I'France.” As the disturbance continued, M. Thie- baud got a motion adopted to close the meeting. The wreath was then placed in | a carriage, but the police refused to al- low the crowd to follow it in a body, and divided it into smaller groups. 1In the meantime, the anarchists tried in vain to organize a fresh meeting. The wreath ‘was placed upon the statue at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon amid perfect order. Later in the evening the police dls- persed large bodies of anti-Jewish dem- onstrators in the Rue de la Fayette and at the office of the Aurore, but nothing serious occurred and there were few ar- rests during the day. It is agreed on all sldes that Saturday's scene in the Chamber of Deputies was al- most without precedent, except the re- cent disturbances in the Austrian Relchs- rath. Curiously enough, Count Baderi (former Austrian Premier) witnessed it. He must have felt quite at home. After the Chamber was cleared 125 torn-off neckties were picked up, togeth- er with many coats that had been torn b; Deputies from each other's shoulders. M. Clovis Hugues, one of the Deputies of the Department of the Seine, had a door slammed on his fingers, which were so mutilated that he is now in the hands of a surgeon. ‘The scene of flgh“n! around the tribune ‘was unparalleled. Comte de Bernis is a retired cavalry officer, and has the rough manners of the bull-fighting tewn of Nimes, where he will be a candidate at the next election. M. Jaures is thickset, florid and hn.h?'. M. Gerault Richard is wild looking. The latter was hustled and knocked about like a football in his at- tempt to deal Comte de Bernis a blow. Some eighty Deputies were in the fi, h‘:. ch- ard was seen in tatters, his cravat torn off, his shirt front torn open, while his sympathizers patted him on the back. Sud- denly Comte de Bernis bounded up the stairs of the tribune on all fours like an animal, dealt M. Jaures a heavy blow on the back of the head and kicked him on the legs. M. Jaures was knocked over and stumbled down_ the stairs. Picking himself up, he saw Comte de Bernis mak- off with a le a body of soclalists made another rush at Comte de and the melee was renewed as furfously as before.

DECIDEDLY TOO FARAWAY Islands That Could Never Be Turned Into a Desirable State of the Union. Epecial Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—The Herald | has obtained the views of many Gover- the subject of the annexation of Ha- waii as follows: Topeka, Kans.—I believe the Ha- waiian Islands should be annexed by | the United States for these reasons: Within a short time, perhaps not more | than forty years, a canal will be built across the Isthmus of Panama. This canal should be controlled and gov- | erned by the United States. The nation \’ having possession of these islands will command the road to that canal, and | will also possess the key to the Pacific | Ocean from a maritime standpoint. We | do not know what the naval architec- | ture of the future will be, but at pres- | ent the best vessels we have are so | heavily armored they can carry only | enough coal to keep at sea for a short | time, and it is absolutely essential to | provide harbors of refuge and coaling | stations within reasonable distances. | My belief is if we allow Hawaii to slip | out of our fingers now, within fifty | years our necessities would compel us | to fight to get possession of the islands, | and, therefore, it seems to me to be | good policy to get them while we can | in peace. In my judgment, it will be no departure from the Monroe doc- | trine, as these islands are on this con- | tinent and adjacent to our shores, and | it would certainly be folly to allow any | European nation to take possession of | and fortify them, which seems likely to | be the case if we permit this opportun- | ity to pass. J. W. LEEDY, Governor of Kansas. Cheyenne, Wyo.—My opinion is that | the annexation of Hawail is desirable on acount of the effect its control will | | have upon the Nicaragua canal ques- | tion. The islands are of such great nav- | al importance that some strong govern ment is sure to possess them very soon, | and they belong geographically to this | country. The interests the United States now own in the islands can be best protected and our trade extended by annexation. W. A. RICHARDS, Governor_of Wyoming. Montgomery, Ala.—I don’t believe much in our Government adopting a policy of acquiring foreign territory. I apprehend it would be an excues for establishing a large army and for a great increase in our navy. We have domain sufficient for our people for generations to come. I think the an- nexation of Hawaii might increase our commerce and possibly aid in showing the necessity for completing the canal across the isthmus, work that I am anxious to see accomplished as soon as possible. JOSEPH. F. JOHNSON, Governor of Alabama. Denver, Colo.—While not enthusias- tic I believe the future commercial wel- fare of the United States would justify | the annexation of the Hawailan Isl. ands. But a hundred fcld more import. ant move would be the building of the Nicaraguan canal as a guarantee of future power and empire. We need both, but first of all the canal. ALVA ADAMS, Governor of Colorado. Salt LaKe, Utah—I am in favor of the annexation of Hawaii with a terri- torial form of government, such as Congress may prescribe, because I re- gard it as a political and military ne- cessity that the islands should not pass | into the control of any other nation; because the regularly constituted gov- ernment of Hawaii is seeking annexa- | tion; because we have a stronger | equitable claim to the island than any | other nation, and because the opportu- | nity is now ripe to annex them with- | out serious trouble. HEBER M. WELLS, Governor of Utah. Pierre, S. D.—Governcr Lee said: “The first duty of this country is to | Cuba, t0 stop the butchery in that isl- | and at any cost. After that if Hawall | is of any strategic value to this country and its citizens desire annexation it | would probably be good policy to take | them in.” Annapolis, Md.—Gevernor Lowndes said: “I should be guided in the matter entirely by the views of the adminis- tration. I think they are best ac- quainted with all the facts and know what is best in the circumstances.” Olympia, Wash.—Governor John H. Rogers said that he most emphatically favors the policy of annexation of Hawaii. He did not care at this time to Nglvre‘ his reasons. ashua, N, H.—Governor Geor - Ramsdell said: “You may say T!fi;\_ vor the annexation of Hawail.” Salem, Ore.—Governor William P. Lord said: “I am favorably dis- posed toward annexation for several reasons. I feel that whether it is the best thing it is a necesisty to which, as 2 nation, we are forced and cannot well evade.” Neb.—Governor Silas A, HLlincoln, olcomb said: *“I am the annexation of H “n‘?.pos;%r l: fined pol- century it has been a well-de down by its founders, to avoid a line of action tend- ing to entanglements and complications with foreign nations. Hawaii is no part of the Western Continent in a political sense, and annexation of these islands by the United States would place our Government in an incon- sistent, absurd and embarrassing atti- tude in the enforcement of the princi- ples of the Monroe doctrine, which can- not be surrendered without menacing the very existence of our nation. An- nexation would be used as a pretext spirit of militarism of It would to appeal to the the people of our country.

The. greater part of the inhabi- tants of the Hawaiian Islands are in- capable of self-government and we can give them no proper form of govern- ment without doing violence to our na- tional spirit of democracy and to the right we maintain of self-government.

Austin, Tex.—Governor Culbertson said: My views on Hawaiian annex- ation are outlined in the platform on which I am to make the race for the United States Senate. I am in favor of the recognition of belligerent rights of lovers of freedom wherever under organized governments they may be struggling for home rule, and the great cause of local self-government: but I am opposed to annexation to the Uni- ted States of any territory not nat- urally and geographically a part of this continent.” Little Rock, Ark.—Governor Dan W, Jones said: *I am opposed to the poli- cy of the acquisition of foreign terri- tory by the United States.
