CHICAGO. Feb. 1. President Hart of the
Chicago base ball club broke the long spell
of sllunco which he has hitherto maintained
about the Anson case and tonight spoke
freely about the disposition of the matter.
What ho said merely confirmed most of the
gossip that has been printed about the af
fair during the last two months , at least
so far as the club's policy v.as concerned.
Mi * Hart said that the directors of the
club had decided to be guided In a great
measure In the disposal of this case by pub
lic opinion. The press and public take It for
granted that A. C. Anson would not be
manager of the Chicago club the coming
season , nnd the directors , desiring to cater
to the public , determined not to renew his
engagement \vhen his contract expired ,
This was the policy pursued
A tiov , * manager has not been selected , nor
will ono bo for a few days. Tom IJurns ,
whom 999 people out of 1,000 pick as Alison's
successor , Hart says , Is fully competent to
dlsclmrgo the duties should ho bo selected
for the place.
President Hart had only kind -words to
siy for Captain Anson and was unstinted
In his praise of him as a lirst-class sports
man , the llko of which would bo haul to
11 lid.
lid."This
"This case , " said the Chicago president
today , "is one which has practically been
left to the public and the press to scttlo
Ihc stockholders ha\o endeavored to bo
guided solely by tbcso factors In the dis
position of the matter. These two fac
tors boein to take It for gianted that Anson
would not be with the club another season ,
and accordingly the directors ha\o decided
not to renew the contract with Mi. Anson ,
wnica lias just terminated. "
Anson himself would say nothing about
his retirement

this mornlnir thn Alvnnl urna n hnnilnnnin
four-etory structure. An hour later It waa
a mass of ruins. The building burned with
almost Incredible ) rapidity and spcctatora
shuddered nt the thought that some of the
many Inmates would bo unable to cscopo
from the fiery furnace. At this season the
business is unusually largo and It In under-
atood that nearly every room In the building
was occupied. The nYe started on the ground
noor ami shot up through the upper stories
with llghtnlng-llko speed , the broad stcHrs
and hallways furnishing great flues which
carried the tlamcs upward.
lAlmost Immediately after the flames were
discovered the alarm was fioiinded through
the house and there wns a wild scramble on
the part of the guests to escape from the
building with their personal property , but
many wore forced to lice without saving any
thing. A few of
the guests made their cs-
capa by the stairways , but the smoke soon
cut off this ictrcat. The novt reoort of the
Imprisoned people was the windows. As
their terror-stricken faces appeared the
great crowd below watched breathlessly ,
hoping against hope that all would bo saved ,
The guests who were thus entrapped did
not long hesitate to take the risk of JumpIng -
Ing , though some were rcccuod from their
perilous position by the fltcmeii Others
Icvppd from the windows , several being moio

Following are neveral cogent reasons why
the United States' should not annex the
Hawaiian Islandft
It means failure ot the effort to establish
a beet-sugar Industry.
It. mcctis perpetual taxitlon ot our over
burdened farmers to pay a bounty to an in
dustry la which exorbitant profits are al
ready made.
It means the addition of another glgintlo
trust to the too ir.any we already have , and
that , too a trust which deala la yellow con
tract labor , QUO ! ' Is already an expert la
manipulating legislation.
U means that as only a very mill mi
nority of the Inhabitants of the Islands do-
nlro annexation , wo will be In the position
of UB'OK force to Impose a government upon
a people without the couwtnt of the gov
erned.
H means that the thousands of Japanese
and Chinese coolie laborers are to bo kept
la a condition of ueml-elavery , or clso ad
mitted to ttio privilege * of American citizen
ship. Either condition Is repugn int to our
Institution * .
It means two moro United St.itca spnatorn
from n rotten pocket borough , who will rep
resent the Hawaiian SIICMP trust.
It means that HavvilJ. will eventually bu
mnJo a state- , and that our election of a
president nity depend upon the returns from
the I'ortURtioso , Chinese and Kanaka wardd
ot Honolulu.

dangers th-it Involves
It means the npppr.slty of on cvorrrMw ! -
Ing navy to defend outlying ix ) de'.slonfl.

It means thp betrayal of our own lax-
payers to further enrich n few planters
In chort. It l. the cusp of the AmprKan
farmer and taxpayer against the Hawaiian
planter
Ovpr COO.000,000 pounds of sugar were Im
