6EN. WALKER'S CANVASS.
He Speaks at Five Places in Tazewell
County.
GOOD CROWDS ASSEMBLE TO HEAR
HIM.
He is Still Popular With the People and
is Assured of a Splendid Majority
in the County.
The canvass in this county which (Jen.
Walker began so auspiciously at the court
house on Tuesday of last week was con?
cluded at Richlands on Saturday. After
his enthusiastic greeting at this place by
the Republicans from all sections of the
^^/county it was very evident his canvass
in Tazewell would be successful and
pleasant.
He went from this place to Graham
where he spoke according to appointment
on Wednesday night. The meeting was
held in the hall in the Masonic building.
An excellent crowd attended, a number of
ladies being present, in fact the stage was
tilled with pretty and attractive matrons
and maidens who seemed to enjoy the
gallant old Confederate's speech very
much. Gen. Walker's speech was a good
one and he was frequently accorded
hearty applause by the audience.
From Graham our Congressional candi?
date went to Pocahontas, where he spoke
on la?t Thursday night in the Opera
House. The meeting was attended by a
good but uot large crowd. The speaker
was introduced by Mr. W. M. Minter an
attorney of the city. As at otter places
Gen. Walker made a good speech on the
issues of the day and his exposure of the
record of the Democratic party seemed to
meet the hearty approval of most of the
audience. At the conclusion of Gen.
"Walker's speech Col. J. S. Browning, who
hak] In en seated on the ttage during the
meeting was called for and made a brief
but pointed speech. He gave the Demo?
crats to understand that if they expected
any comfort or assistance from him be?
cause of Ids personal differences with Gen.
Walker they were reckoning without their
host. He announced that he imtendedto
Bee that there was a red-hot campaign in
Pocahontas and that the Republican can?
didate for CongiTTS would receive the
usual party vote.
Pounding Mill was the next point vis?
ited by Gen. Walker. He spoke at that
place on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock and
there was a splendid outpouring of the
people to hear him. The house in which
bespoke was packed with people and there
were many on the outside who could not
get in.
The next day (Saturday) (Jen. Walker
concluded his canvass of Tazewell county
at Richlands. At that town, <f? at his
other appointments in tiie county, the
Republican candidate was most cordially
received by a large ami enthusiastic
crowd. He spoke in the town hull and
his speech was heard with pleasure by
yihhtdies a? well as gentlemen.
Our Democratic friends have been boast?
ing that Gen. Walker had lost his popu?
larity in Tazewell county. We are inclin?
ed to think they have changed their
minds since'liis reception by the people in
this canvass. If the Democrats have not
already recotrn'zed their mistake they
will do so when the result of the election
ie known in the county.

AMERICAN FLAG
OVER HONOLULO.
Stars and Stripes Floated on tue 12th.
AH IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY.
Bugle Blew Taps as the Hawaiian En?
sign Sank from Its Position and
Tears Dimmed the Eyes of Natives
Who Had Been Born Under It?But
Enthusiasm Succeeded When the
American Colors Were Flung to the
Breeze a Little Later.
San Francisco, August '22.? The steamer
Belgic tins evening brought the following:
Honolulu, August 12.?Precisely at
eight minutes to twelve o'clock today,
the Hawaiian flag descended from the
fiagstafls on all the government buildings,
and exactly at five minutes to the same
hour, the stars and stripes floated on the
tropical breeze from every official flagstaff.
The ceremony of today was a most impres?
sive one. To bear the strains of "Hawaii
Ponoi'' for the last time as a national an?
them, the bugle blow taps as the Hawaiian
ensign sank from its position, and to notice
the emotion of many who had been born
under it and had lived their lives under it,
was solemn. But then came the bugle
call for the raising of Old Glory, aud the
strains of "The Star Spangled Banner"
broke forth as that banner unfurled to the
breeze.
Then the cheers broke forth, and eyes
that had been dim for a few minutes be?
came bright and lighted up when the
stars and stripes blew out.
In the grounds and all around all the ap?
proaches were cio.vds of on-lookers of
every nationality. Notably remarkable
was the numbtr of Hawaiian.". Within
the grounds the military and naval dis?
play was fine. Hawaiian troops, United
States marines, the mounted patrol, the
police and the citizens' guard presented a
splendid appearance, while the platform
for the exercises and the verandahs of the
executive building were gay with brilliant
summer dresses, feathers and ribbons and
the brightest faces that Honolulu posses?
ses. The uniforms of staff and naval offi?
cers added brightness to the scene. ? The
weather was fortunately propitious.
Till: CEREMONIES.
The ceremonies began with the depar?
ture of the first regiment of the National
Guard of Hawaii from their drill shed at
ten minutes to ten this morning. The
parade was headed by a detachment of
Captain Kane and Lieutenant Warren.
Then came the Hawaiian Band and the
drum corps.
The regiment marched to the boat land?
ing to escort the troops from the Philadel?
phia and Mohican, which were already
drawn up on shore. The I'nited States
forces were commanded by Lieutenant
Commander Stevens and consisted of one
company of marines and two of bluejack?
ets from the Philadelphia, a company of
bluejackets from the Mohican, and an ar?
tillery detachment of two guns and 42
men. The naval detachment was headed
by the flagship's band.
Several hundred of the citizens' guard
preceded the troops up the main avenue
and took a station on the left of the stand.
The United States troops were stretched
across the avenue in double tile, the
marines being in front.
On the right of the main steps were the
halyards, from which the big Hawaiian
flag at the top of the tower floated in the
bi eeze.
The detail in charge of the^e halyards
and the hauling down of the Hawaiian
flag \\T9 Corporal H. F. Kilboy and Pri?
vates 0. Winkler and A. Spillner, of Com?
pany F.
The detail of men in charge of the rais?
ing of the American Hag was in command
of J. Ward, coxswain of the admiral's
barge. The flag itself was in charge of O.
H, Platt, gunner's mate of the Philadel?
phia, and R. Winters, boatswain's mate
of the Mohican. These are the men who
actually raised the stare and stripes over
Hawaii.
The flag-used for the occasion was the
largest size used in the navy, especially
made at Mare Island for the purpose,
As soou as President Dole and his cabi?
net came from the Executive Building to
t hs platform, the justices of the Supreme
Court followed, and then Admiral J. N.
Miller and United States Minister Harold
Sewall came down the stairs, followed by
Captains C. H. Wadleigh, of the Philadel?
phia, and ?, M. Book, of the Mohican,
and their staff officers, and Colonel Bar?
ber, of the First New York Regiment.
THE FORMAL TRANSFER.
The ceremonies opened with prayer by
Rev- U- L- Peterson, paetor of the First
Methodist church of this city. United
Suites Minister Sewall then rose, and ad?
dressing President Dole, who* had risen,
presented him with a certified copy of the
joint resolution of Congress annexing the
Hawaiian Islands to the United States.
President Dole answered, acknowledging
the making of a treaty of political union
and formally yielded to Minister Sewall,
as the representative of the government of
the United States, the sovereignty and
public property of the Hawaiian Islands.
Mr. Sewall replied:
"Mr. President: In the name of the
United States I accept the transfer of the
sovereignty and property of the Hawaiian
government. The admiral commanding
the United States naval forces in these
waters will proceed to perform the duty
entrusted to him."
The Hawaiian band played "Hawaii
Ponoi," the national anthem. Colonel
Fisher gave the order to the National
Guard battery, stationed on the executive
grounds in command of Lieutenant Lud-,
wig, to fire the national Ealute of twenty^
one guns, which was a'so repeated by the
Philadelphia. As the echo of the last gun
reverberated in the bil's a bugle sounded
WEL
5WELL, VA., TH?RS
anil the national ensign of Hawaii came
slowly down until it reached the ground,
never to go up again.
There was a short pause, and then the
admiral nodded to Lieutenant Winter
halter, who gave the order.
"Colors, roll off," the flagship's band
struck up the well known strains of "The
Star Spangled Banner," and as the stars
and titripes slowly ascended there was
breathless suspense.
Hut as it reached the top cheers broke
forth from the crowds below and salutes
of twenty-one guns were again tired by
the Hawaiian battery and the Philadel?
phia.
TIIK PROCLAMATION READ.
Minister Sewall read a proclamation
stating that President McKinley directs
that the civil, judicial and military powers
of the government shall continue to be
exercised by the officers of the rppuClic of
Hawaii. All such oflieers will be re
quired to take an oath of allegiance to the
United States and renew their bonds to
the United States government.
Following the reading ol the proclama?
tion, Minister Sewall made an address
congratulating the residents of Hawaii
upon the accomplishment of annexation. I

THOSE CHARITY PARTIES.
The Old Gentleman Had His Say and
Paid the Bill.
The two fair daughters of a Warren
avenue household were discussing the en?
tertainment they proposed giving fur the
benefit'of" a little work of charity in which
thev were interested, and, as a matter of
course the old gentleman had to have his
say.
"It's an infernal nuisauce,"he declared.
"The house will be in a commotion for a
week, nothing will be thought of but your
party, and everything will Iw disarranged.
That night we will be awake till well
toward morning, and the next day, those
who are not sick will go about snarlimr and
half a sleep. I call it nothing but torn
fooler v."
"Papa," said the eldest, "don't you un?
derstand that we are going to help some ot
the poor and that every cent we make will
provide them with some comfort ? What
you should do is to encourage us."
"Don't talk silly, it's a good deal you
girls care about the charitable feature of
this social combination you're in. It's
the boys and girls and cards ami dancing
you want. No use trying to pull the wool
over my eyes.
"Very well. We'll try to do our duty,
even if you do make it hard. We, at least,
have some sympathy for the afflicted."
"Oh, you have? Sweetly disinterested ,
aren't you? flow much did you take in
at the last blowout V.
"Just S13.5U," proudly.
"Well, I'll give you just $30.50 for the
cause if you'll not inflict your co-workers
on us. Now, how's your charity?"
".Mamma, I wish to the land you'd
come down here. Papa's acting perfectly
awful," and she flounced out of the room
while he laughed sardgnieally.?Detroit
