8 WHY THE FLAG CAME DOWN. This Country’s True Policy Re garding Hawaii. Commissionar Blount Only Car rying Out 1 he Instructions. Annexation, While a Protectorate Exists, Too Much Like Conquest. Washington. April 15.—The news from Hawaii licit the fl ig of the Lulled States hud been 1 wred mid the jirolee lurnto established by Minister Stevens vb.hdrmvn v.ns : v d here ut first with signs of popular regret, and there are runny iiiiUiniking persons who are <lis p >sed to it.s s 4 I hurt onee th" American ling iris been raised, it should not be lowered until we tire constrained to lower it by superior force. To maintain that idea might be the pobe.i ol ar mliniiiistriition that was seeking for theatrical effect, but to a President who is averse to jingoism in all things whether it be in politics or diplomacy, there seems to be ns little >iimh as sense in maintaining the flag wlion it is raised in a wnpig place mid upon a false pretense, as there would bo in neglecting the flag when it is in danger from assault. Mr. Blount is evidently pursuing the plan adopted for him before he left for Honolulu. He found the islands under the United Staites flag, to be sure, and he met a number of people who had urged the ratification of the treaty by which the islands were to be annexed to the United Slates. The remarkable condition presented was that the United Slates was asked to negotiate with a government for the release of its terri tory mid power, being at the time in possession of that territory and support ing a revolutionary government by force of arms. It will be found in the course of time nhat the administration could not justify itself, iii history, for pressing any propo sition of annexation when urged by an admitted minority of persons resident, but iliot natives of the country proposing annexation, while the majority of the people who me opposed to annexation were under the restraint of the armed forces of the United Statep. That would look like conquest and the of annexation. Upon the greedy annexa tiouists in Hawaii ami the United Stales the meamuess of such a seizure might not weigh very heavily, but it must be come a mutter Os history when the whole itransaetiou is completed. The provisional government which All. Blount found in Honolulu would not have been possible but lor the help of rt.be forces of the United Slates. This is shown by the dispatches of Almistei Stevens and Queen Lilluokalani bringing llhe first news of the revolution. The queen’s letter to President Harrison seems tio have been read very carelessly mid to have received no consideration in the correspondence. She makes plain the reason that impelled her to yield to the provisional government. She says in her letter, wrtfilen Jan. 18, the day after ithu revolution: •'Some of my subjects, aided by aliens, have renounced their loyalty ami revolt ed against the constitutional government of my kingdom. Upon receiving incon testable proof that Ins Excellency he Plenipotentiary of the United States aided and abetted then unlawful movements mud caused United States tl „ ops to be landed for that purpose, I submitted to force, Mining that he v.mld not have acted in that matter uu j, s , py the authority of th- government winch lie represents. To a government Unit desires not only rto appear to be fair, but Io bo fair in fact, there was only one connse to bo pursued Tleit was to withdraw all menace ol Idree, and leave the Hawaiian* to ad just their own affairs, keeping a sulli eient force of United States officers ami men near by to protect esta. ' 'I his is about what Mr. Blount seems to be doing. If tlm provisional govern ment is established in the will of the people it is not in need ot the assistance of the military of the I mted States. Certainly the military forces ot the United States cannot be displayed at the seat of a government with which the senate is asked to negotiate a treaty of annexation on the ground of mutual in terest. 'Hie report that Japan is about, to take steps to annex Hawaiia is without foun dation fin fact. Japan has interests in the islands, but. they do not impel the Japanese government to sock the posses sion of the islands, or to harbor any in tention of annexation or of a protecto rate. There is reason to believe that this storv is one ol many that find circu lation with the help of the factiofl in Hawaiia that is urging annexation, per haps with comiuiercinl interests in tile islands only. * .Mr. Blount has not enjoyed any satis faction in hauling down the American flag. There is no doubt that the republi cans will make some cheap and useless capital out xis the incident, and that, they will attribute lack of patriotism to the man who lowered the flag on behalf ot the administration. But that act cannot be misunderstood for long. ’Hie presei dent will be better satisfied with the re tirement from our position in Hawaii if it is wrong than he could feel in the assertion of an entirely wrong and un just position maintained merely to add miscalled glory to the stars and stripes and the acquisition of new territory. It is the merest rubbish to suggest that Air. -Blount .was instructed to assist in the restoration of the queen. That is no more a part of his mission to Hono lulu than it is to compel any unwilling natives to declare for annexation and against the queen, who has been de posed. Whatever step is taken hereaf ter in the direction of annexation will probably have .to be supported by the neoyde on whose behalf the proposition is made. Up to the hour of closing the depart ment of state, no information had been received regarding the action of Commis sioner Blount. This, at least, was un derstood to be the case, but it was noted that the officers of the navy department, who usually handle the state depart ment's cipher messages, were very busily engaged. Air. Charles L. Carter, one of the Ha waiian annexation commissioners, said today: “1 do not thing it means a reversal of tile policy of the government us ex pressed by the lute administration. Sec retary Foster's attitude was satisfactory lo the nimex.'itionists, and he promptly disavowed the protectorate. The force of marines was pouted on duty in re sponse to tlie request of the provisional g ivenimcnt to protect persons and prop erty against assaults and danger from the natives. The necessity of this has passed, the annexation movement has gained strenbt.li and numbers, and Pres ident Dole has announced that it was able to maitnin itself if not assailed from without. Therefore, the forces of the United States were no longer essential, and with their removal, of course the flag came down.” - QUADBUPLIJTB AT SIXTEEN. Somerville, N. J., April 16.—Airs. John Builner, of Beaver Brook, near Blairs town, N. J., gave birth to four children last Thursday morning. Two of the babies are boys and two girls. Airs.

Numbers are Killed and Others Flee to the Plains. The Greek Government Has Sent Relief Vessels. Athens, April 17.—The island of Zante, <we of tlie principal lonian islands was visited by a most destructive earthquake this morning, resulting in great loss of life umd property. in February aud March last tlie island sustained a vast amount of damage by seismic distur bance, and a large number of lives were lost. The shock this minting appears to have been most violent in the city of Zante. The people are panic stricken and tlie authorities helpless. Tlie streets are impassable, being filled with masses of stone and timber, the wreckage of the houses which were thrown down by tlie earthquake Thus far the bodies of twenty person's killed by falling walls have been removed from the debris, and it is feared many more dead ure still in the ruins. The number of persons in jured ruins up into the hundreds, lhe greater portion of the inhabitants have fled to the plains back of the city, where they wander about in a distracted man ner bewailing the loss of th-er homes and property. The shock occurred at 7:30 a. hi. Most of the buildings that stood erect after tiie shocks of February and March were either thrown down or shattered. Hie church of St. Dionysius and 'the govern ment offices were thrown down. Advices from tlie interior show the whole island devastated. Many villages are destroyed and it is thought the loss of life is very great. Since 7:30 this morning two more heavy shocks have shaken the whole island of Zante. Thousands are without shelter, and few have sufficient food. The British'minister resident has telegraphed to the British foreign office a request tor, warships to be seat at once to Zante with men and building materials, that tempo rary sheds may be erected for the shel terless at once on the plains and hill sides The large number of tents taken to Zante to shelter people rendered home less by the former earthquakes have been again set up, and under them sonn et the women and children have taken refuge The city presents a scene of des olation. and it is doubtful if it will ever recover from the series of misfortunes that have befallen it within .the past three months. There is bound to be an enormous amount of suffering, and out side aid will be urgently required to prevent sickness and starvation. The Greek government has acted promptly in rendering aid to the sufferers by the earthquake on the island. Two Greek ironclads, the Hydra and the Spezln. have already started for Zante with a detachment of engineers as well as pro visions and medicines. A BIG STRIKE ON. From End to End the Union Pacific Rail road Is Affected. Omaha. Neb.. April 17.—A strike has been ordered among the boilermakers, blacksmiths, molders and pottery makers along the entire line of the Union Pa cific. The employes ela.im that ’he com pany acted in bad faith eonienling the fulfillment of an agreement entered into to allow a force of men employed to re duce itself when the time was below the standard of nine hours a day. It is claimed that the company, instead of al lowing the force of men employed to re duce itself naturally, has kept up a full quota of men, and in some shops. Omaha included, has increased the force. The companv increased the force, but reduced the standard of time from nine to eight hours for a working day. Jan. 13 of this year. The employes claim to have a written agreement signed by General Manager Dickinson and Assistant. Super intendent Motzerheimer that while the men are working eight hours it is under stood that the places of men who leave the service will not be filled except when absolutely necessary in order to carry on the work to advantage. From advices received the strike is general on the en tire Union Pacific system, including brunches. Many tihousauil men are out. TO LEAVE OUT ULSTER. 'lt Improbable that Gladstone Will Con sent to the Proposition. Eondon, April 17.—An important statement was made today in regard to the Irish Home Rule bill. It is to the effect that when the bill reaches the committee stage a large section of the radicals will support a proposal to leavf tlie counties of liondonderry, Antrim. Down and Armagh in the Province of Ulster, these being the counties in which the Unionist element is strongest and antagonism to Irish Home Bule there fore pronounced. It is considered doubt ful that Gladstone would assent to such n scheme, even if the Irish Nationalist members were willing to diy so. The proposition means division in the islanu, and the Irish legislature created under it would represent only a portion of the country. Will RELIEVES all Stomach Distress.

BOOMING FOR THE BRITISHERS. Five Pets of the Queen's Navee Have Arrived. / The Ladies Turn Their Attention to the Englishmen. The Air Was Blue With Smoke of Saluting Guns. Fortress Alonroe, Va., April 17. —At 8 o'clock this morning five of England's big war ships, headed by the flagship Blake, flying the pennant of one of her vice admirals, came majestically in the Roads from Lynn Haven bay, where they bad anchored over night, let go as many bow anchors, and fired the cus tomary salute. They are as follows: The Blake, ar mored cruiser, lt.iMM) tons; the Austra lia, armored cruiser, 5,600 tons; tlie Magieienne, *»rotected cruiser, 2,950 tons; the Tartar, partially protected cruiser, 1,770 tons, and the Partridge, partially protected cruiser, 750 tons. The latter is of 1,200 horse-power, and much ithe lowest in this respect than any that take part in the review, domestic or foreign. Before -6 o’clock this morning Col. Frank, commander of tlie army post, was informed by Admiral Gherardi that the British vessels were coming up from the Gapes, and that they would be along in an hour. This was notification to stand by to salute the vessels after they hud fired twenty-one guns in honor of the American colors, and the fort was prompt in doing this. The fashionable set were ruthlessly awakened by this territfic lioinbardment, and the reverberations-of the mighty guns of the Blake and the answers that eatne quickly back from the post and the flagship Phila delphia. Hardly had the dense curls of white smoke disappeared from tiie muzzle of the guns when the Blake started in to assure the French, Russian and Italian flags of her dis tinguished esteem and consideration by saluting the commanding officers of the four vessels with the number of guns due their rank. During these ceremo nies the flags on all ships were con stantly changing from one country to another, and to an onlooker it was ap parent that if there ever existed any difference between Russia. England and France there were little remnants of it. The appearance of these five crack ships of the queen’s navy presented, us they moved majestically over the water and jiixst the outer end of our fleet to the anchorage grounds designated them by Admiral Gherardi, was one of the pret tiest sights ever seen here. At the head of the fleet was the big armored cruiser Blake, the counterpart of our own ship New York, heavily armored, and the most formidable ship that will be in the review. In her wake was the protected cruiser Magieienne, and behind her came the monster armored cruiser Australia, with her sides fairly toothed with fierce looking high power guns. Gliding grace fully next was the cruiser Tartar, and in the rear was the little barkentine riggwl cruiser Partridge. In a perfect line they sailed in, with signals flying from their tops and yardarms, and the ensign of the country floating defiantly from the taffrails of each ship. At the masthead of the Blake was the pennant of Vice Admiral J. O. Hopkins. K. C. 11.. and upon the signal, halyards were combinations of yellow ’and white sig nals to the ships behind her. Sweeping down the fleet, the Blake slowed down just ns she passed the New ark. a.nd when abreast of the Philadel phia the signal was displayed trt' the other ships to anchor. As quickly as the signal was seen just as quickly were five bow anchors seen to splash the wa ter into foam, and the deep rumbling of the chain could be heard ns forty fathoms ran through the hawsepipe. With flood tide all the ships promptly swung round with their nose pointed out to the Roads, and forming a. line extending a mile out. Firing commenced and was kept up in cessantly for half an hour. At 11 o'clock Admiral Hopkins put on his cocked hat. buckled his sword on, and embarking in his gig, was pulled over to the Philadel phia. where he saw Admiral Gherardi heard fifteen guns fired off in his honor, and then departed to his own vessel to get ready to receive our commander-in chief. who went through the same prepa rations and had the same number of gnus discharged for his benefit. These courtesies having been ex changed the noise was suspended for an hour. Later in the day Admiral Hop kins called on 001. Frank, and was re ceived as became his rank. Col. Frank returned the call, and the Blake was again called upon to honor an official of our country. The weather continues perfect. The sky is as clear as a May day, and the water smooth for the Roads’ Barges, steam launches and gigs were plying constantly to the ships, carrying those anxious to see new arrivals. As every new ship arrives the attention of the ladies changes temporarily to her offi cers, and today it would seem that the Britishers are to the front. The Dutch frigate Vanspeyk simved late this after noon and anchored in the roads. The arrival of the entire British fleet with a titled officer in command, fol lowed by another French vessel the antiquated but formidable looking Dut'-h frigate. Van Speyk, has added to the already brilliant scene aud increased the interest aud animation which pervades the multitude now gathered here from every section of the country to witness the grandest naval pageant ever seen before in American waters. The scene tonight at the Hygeia hotel, the centre of interest, and attrac tion for hundreds of foreign and Amer ican officers of twenty odd war vessels in the Roads, was one that was never before surpassed at this usually quiet resort. The parlor and corridors’ of the hotels swarmed with officers dressed in all the magnificence of gold lace, brass buttons and blue uniforms, who danced and talked wit>h the beautiful women who are numbeifless. and whose dress ing surpasses that of any other resort on the Atlantic coast Just now. On shore and in the Roads there was a scene of brilliancy that, would make the poorest citizen patriotic All of the American officers were dressed in their handsomest uniforms and the wo men seemed to vie with one another in the superbness of their costumes. The Frenchmen came ashore this even ing in any number for the first time, but the Britishers have not yet become sufficiently well settled to don their best clothes and meet the women here who have been anxiously awaiting their arrival for the past week. With the Russians it is different. They have the advantage of the others by reason of having arrived earlier in the week, and the manner in which they readily make themselTes understood in our language is generally commented upon on all sides. But it cannot be lenied that the whole interest of the vast, crowd is upon the big Blake officers who command her and the other British ships. So much ha« been heard of this ship that when it was known she had arrived with her foil’ companions, the enthusiasm shown was greater than that showered upon any of the' foreigners who preceded them. As the ships are regarded, so are theii Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report ABSOLUTELY PURE officers, as was seen by those wh< bonded the vessels of the fleet this as ternoon. During the evening the Roads were as light as day. From the poops and forward bridges of the American ships powerful search lights made the waters glimmer ami shine like the moon upon new fallen snow. The reflectors were worked upward to throw their flashes of light to the heaven and then on shore. The rays touched the sides of some vessel in the fleet and pictured her as a phantom ship sailing the seas without sails; then they criss-crossed and formed all sorts of weird figures ns one ray of light fell across another shot from the deck of some other vessel at the end of the fleet. OccasionaMy they fell on the fortress and showed hundreds of smooth bored old guns sticking their muzzles out defiantly from the stone walls which could be easily deipoiished by. any gun of the smallest vessel at anchor. Then some mischievous officer woiud play them along the long piazzas that skirt the hotel and on the little piers and send couples who had sought seclusion scampering back to the ball room. M hile lhe white electric rays lighted up the skies, the red and white signal system which we have borrowed from the French kept up an incessant silent conversation with the ships in the Roads. The effect of these combinations' of light was witnessed with enthusiasm bv those congregated on the beach t< watch the sight. The officers on the fort have thrown onen their club to the visitors and are doing all,in their pow er for their entertainment, although Con gress appropriated no money for this purpose. Tomorrow afternoon the offi cers of the flag ship Newark will give a reception to their friends at which many of the foreign officers will be pres ent.’ The French flagship Arateuse is expected to arrive in the morning and join the fleet. THE JOHN BULL TRAIN. The Engine Was the First in the United States—Off for Chicago. Now York, April 17.—The queerest railroad train that has been seen in many a long year drew out of the Penn sylvania depot at Jersey City at 10:16 this morning amid the cheers of a big crowd of curiosity seekers. The train consisted of Engine No. 1 of the Penn sylvania railway, and ears No. 3 and 5. Engine No. 1 of tlie Pennsylvania road is also Engine No. 1 of the I nited States, being the first railway locomo tive used on this side of the Atlantic. It has been among the curiosities of the National Museum at Washington several years, and was recently refitted for this duty. It is called "John Bull.’’ and started this morning to puff its way la boriously to the World’s fair, where it will be an object of wonder to millions. John Bull shows no sign of his great age except his antique construction. He is painted and polished so that he shines as fair s'.s the latest born of modern loco motives. % The coaches look like stage codches on railway wheels. They too are in gala attire, being painted liright green, with the inscription, “John Bull Train.” The train is manned by veteran railroaders. Conductor W. T. Bailey has been a pas senger conductor since 1859. Brakemen Jonas Hagar and Thomas Gallagher were brakemen in 1849. Engine Driver A. S. Herbert drove John Bull in 1852. J. W. Sanford, fireman, was such in 1855. Car Inspector D. H. Baker, who goes along, has been foreman of the Jersey City ear shops since IS-t9. Act- Jug Assistant Superintendent James R. Smith, who directs the running of the train, has also been a railroad man over fifty years. It is expected that the John Bull train will carry some distinguishel passengers. The passengers this morning wore all I railway officials. ’ They included General ; Superintendent F. W. Jackson. General Passenger Agent George IV. Boyd and I General Passenger Trainmaster E. T. ■ Mander, who will go clear through to I Chicago. The train will spend a week on the road. MAJ~SPEER DYING. Atlanta, April 17.—Major D. N.

COLUMBIA SHUT OUT. Her Bld for the Industrial College Camo In Too Lain. # Columbia, S. C., April 15.—(Special.)—Co- lumbia got an unexpected setback today in the matter of the location of the Female Industrial College when the Governor notified the committee that the city's bld was too late. In his letter he says; Whether right or wrong in our construc tion of the law and our duty under It, the board of trustees of Winthrop Normal and Industrial College have already decided and announced. We could not and would not receive any additional or supplemen tary blds for the location of that Insti tution. We will examine the advantages of the three towns which filed blds in ac cordance with our notice next week and locate the school at one of the places. I regret that the city of Columbia delayed action until too late for her to enter the race, but I feel that the board is pre cluded, Isitli in law and In morals, from entertaining any additional blds from auy source. The committee have asked for a hear ing before the whole board of trustees. This will, of course, apply to North Augusta aud Charleston. MRS. CARSWELL DEAb. She Passes Away Peacefully in Hephzibah. Horn in 1526. Hephzibah, Ga., April 14—(Special.)— Another matriarch has crossed the river and passed beyond. Mrs. H. E. Carswell, familiarly known to a large circle of friends as Aunt Emma, died at the home of her son, Willie Carewell, :n Waycross, at 4:30 yesterday morning. She was born in Burke county on the Itlth day of July, 1526. She became a Christian and joined the Baptist church at Piney Grove in 1842, was baptized by Rev. Joseph Polhill, and lived faithfully, happily and usefully many, many years and died triumphantly ' and entered that rest prepared for the people ot God in the celestial city. April 27, 1845 she married Hon. M. J. Carswell who proceeded her to the beautiful land of Beulah April 12th, 1887. She was kind to all, especially the poor and sick, was hos pitable and generous, a cheerful and happy Christian and loved her church and Bible above nil. She was possessed of a good mind aud endeavored all her life to instil In the minds of those around her precious truths which she learned from her con stant companion, the holy Bible.
