WAsnixoTOX , P. C. , Fob. 2. [ Special Tele
gram to Tin ? BEE. ] Everybody in Washington -
ton Is Impntlcntly n waiting the arrival of the
Hawaiian commissioners , who ought to
reach hero early tomorrow afternoon. Quar
ters have boon secured for the commissioners
nt Wormlcy's hotel , which Is ono of the best
known hostclrles In this city , and which , cu
riously enough , is owned and managed by a
negro.
It has finally been determined that Sccro-
ary of State Foster will not resign and will
defer his Jounie.v to Purls , us the agent
of America In the During sea arbitration
until March . It has been supposed over
slnco the news of the revolution r.t Honolulu
lulu that Secretary Foster would cancel the
arrangement to sale from Now York on next
Wednesday , but not until today did the pres
ident finally determine to rcqurst Secretary
Foster to remain in Washington during the
reception of the Hawallancotnmisslntiers and
the settlement of the question of protector-
ute or annexation.
This can bo done the more easily slnco the
llrst meeting of the International tribunal In
Paris on February 23 , will bo merely formal
for the purpose of exchanging credentials ,
and will bo followed by Immediate- adjourn
ment for a month. Both the American com
missioners will bo there , as well as the
American consul , so that our sldo of the
Hcrliig sea case will In no way suffer In the
absence of Mr. Foster.
No definite arrangements have yet been
mauo for the reception of the Hawaiian
commissioners by the president nnd secre
tary of state. It is probable- that Mr. Walt
Smith , who was the Hawaiian minister hero
ronrcsentlng the government of Queen
Illiuokulanl , but whoso diplomatic status Is
just now n matter of uncertainty , may bo
requested by the commissioners to make
tlio necessary arrangements for 1111 audience.
If the commissioners arrive early enough
tomorrow , it Is possible- that there may bo
time enough for a visit to the white house on
( Saturday , otherwise- they may not go to the
white house until Monday , although the cre
dentials could bo examined by Secretary
Foster on Saturday.
The senate held a long executive session
today , during which the Hawaiian alTalr was
informally discussed chlolly for the purpose
of making clear to scnators.not familiar with
the subject , the history ot the diplomatic re
lations between the United States und
Hawaii.

CuiCAno , 111. , Feb. 2. Probably the most
Hovel and Important long distance race In
.American history is rapidly approaching a
climax. The prize nt stake Is the political
and commercial control of the cross
roads of tlio Pacific , the Hawaiian
islands. The result Involves the pos
sibility of a clash of arms between two
' of the greatest nations of earth , America
and Great Britain. Tlio participants In the
race are Colonel Cleghorn ot San Francisco ,
undo of Princess Idrulana , heir apparent to
the Hawaiian throne , and the commissioners
of the provisional governmcntof that country.
The race Is to end In Washington and Is to
decide tno fate of the Islands.
Immediately on hearing of the revolu
tion In Ha wall Colonel Clcghorn packed his
grip and started post haste for Washington ,
thereby getting twelve hours the start of
Iho commissioners of the provisional govern
ment. The latter learned of it and began a
jraee against him to sccuro thn cars of the
Hovertimcnt at Washington , Engines are
being crowded to their fullest capacity , for
the difference in time may bo equalized by
the ofllco hours of thn department olllcials at
Washington. Despite the fact of the
great start of the princess' uucld ,
the couriers of the provincial
government may reach the cars of the State
department about the same timo. It will
then bo nu equal light In placing the situa
tion before the United States with no oppor
tunity for partiality formed in advance.
Dclaynd by Ilnil Woiithor.
That the race was on In earnest
vras apparent in the bustle and ac
tivity of the ofllcials of the train
dispatcher's olllco oftlto Chicago & North
western railroad In this city. What was
worrying the ofllcluls was the fact that
owing to the blizzard the train from the west
which connected with the Pennsylvania
limited for the national capital
was over two hours late. The
ambassadors were duo hero at UiO : !
a. in. , but wore then far to the west of the
city , with nlloreo snow storm blowing. So the
limited had no option but to proceed without
them. The reason of nil the hubbub was
the discovery that Colonel Cleghorn left
Chicago for WnHhliigtoii last night about the
time the commissioners , the provisional
Hawaiian government were in Omaha.
Cleghorn's object lu hurrying to Washington
was to present a plea in behalf
of his nleco , Kalulana ns heir to the
throne , claiming she would glvo n more
satisfactory government than Queen Lllluok-
iilunl , saying she was iv strong , brainy
woman , well educated , capable of ruling the
Islands and not tinctured with the strong
nativism which characterizes the deposed 1
queen.
Ho said further that ho was anxious
to correct false impressions likely
to bo made to President Harrison and
cabinet , In case his mission should
prove unsuccessful , ho said ho would pro
ceed to Great Britain ami lay the case before
that country. Cleghorn Is duo In Washlng-
t ton at 0 o'clock tonight , which will bo too
late for an audience until tomorrow , and
probably not until noon of that day. The
revolutionists have considered nil this , mid
r knowing they could catch the 2.U : ) train on
the Fort \Vnyna road , feel they will bo able
„ to reach Washington tomorrow after
noon. By going direct to the
State department as soon as
they reach Washington the chances nro they
might gut nn audience about the same time
us Cleghoni. There would then ho an equal
clmnco hcnco the race with the kingdom at
stako.
i.Mmlo K Short Stay In Chicago.
The revolutionists arrived hero three hours
lato.
It was 12:2. : > when the overland train
bearing the Hnwatlancommlssloncrs reached
the Northwestern depot.
After n hasty greeting to some Chicago
friends the commissioners bundltxl into an
omnibus and were driven hurriedly to the
Fort Wayne depot , and after not over half
an hour Insluo the city limits , wcro speeding
eastward over the Pennsylvania road for
Washington , ,
Chairman Thurston said to a reporter :
' 'What course wo shall pursue at the capital
will depend entirely on our reception by the
government. Wo will present our creden
tials from the provisional government to the
State department , and the statement of our
position ns prepared by Unltod States Min
ister Stevens. 1 cannot say what our action
will bo further than that. I wish it under
stood that there is no politics connected
with thta matter. The present provisional
government of Hawaii was formed and is up-
t hold by the boat element of her imputation.
Men who have siicnt their money to make
the Island what it Is are back of the move
ment , nnd their solo desire Is to see Hawaii
roach that state of development wnlch her
climate anil natural resources entitle
her to. "

WASIMNOTOX , D. C. , Fob. 2. Dr. Mott

Washington , was tnls nftemoon shown a
copy of tno dispatch from Chicago containIng -
Ing the statement of John M. Cleghorn ,
claiming to bo an undo of rtio Princess
ICnlutunl , heir apparent to the Hawnllim
tlirotio. Mr. Cloghorn , the dispatch MJ' ,
wan oil tils way to Washington forty-eight
hours In ad vnnco nf the commissioners of the
provisional government of Hawaii for the
jiurNiv | ) of asking President Harrison to
establish a protectorate over Hawaii , with
tlio Princess Kniulanl ns queen.
Dr. Kmlth said : "Mr. Clcghorn may bo
what ho asserts himself to bo the brother
of the father of the princess , but I never
licnnl ot him. I have known Mr. A. S.
Clcghorn , the princess' father , for many
years , and I rather think that if there had
Wen sjch n brother as John I should huvu
Ixjcn made aware of It. Unless Mr. Clcg
horn , by some means , was made aware
of the revolution In Hawaii before the ar
rival of the Claudia at San Francisco , ho
could not have left there , at the very
outside , more than twenty-four hours In
advance of the commissioners , for they re
mained In that city but that length of time
after their arrival from Hawaii. If Mr.
Clcghorn was forty-eight hours In aavanco
of the commissioners , ho should hnva
reached Washington yesterday afternoon or
this morning at the latest. I have not
heard of his arrival , however , and your
messig6"1s the llrst news I have had of the

the particulars of the double murder und
quadruple lynch ings mentioned in these dis
patches last night : A. llutclKI and Ben
Shortridgo , country merchants , came to
Hlclilands to buy goods. On the return trip
they camped with wagons for the night.
Yesterday morning their bodies were found
covered with blood , having evidently
been murdered for the purpose of rob
bery. Suspicion fell on four negroes.
Searching parties at once started out. This
lirst of the negroes , .lorry Brown , was ar
rested , and after satisfactory evidence of
guilt was obtained ho was strung up. Later
in the day Spencer Branch , John.lohnson and
Sam ICIlerson were captured and the ofllcers
started with them by a roundabout way to
the court house. The neighbors of the mur
dered men , learning of the fact , organized
and overtook them , and took the prisoners
from the ofllccrs and swung them to a tree.
The mob is said to bo pursuing two other
negroes.

The superintendent of the Omaha park
system has submitted his annual report ,
which has been placed in the hands of the
park commission. In Hanscom park ho says
thot the commission constructed two preen
houses and n boiler house at a cost of $3,000.
A large numberof evergreen and forest trees
wcro planted and portions of the park beauti-
llcd by the planting of flowers. The drive
ways wcro surfaced and graveled , thus mak
ing them permanent roadbeds. On the south
side of the park the si'iowalk was extended
along Crclglitoti avenue. In speaking of the
artesian well , Mr. Adams informs the com
mission that it has reached a depth of 1,070
feet , but that ilowing water is not yet in
sight. During the year the north boulevard
was improved by the grading , grubbing und
surfacing up the ground. The south boule
vard was surveyed , but nothing1 was dotto in
the way of improving.
In Klmwood park the commission expended
a considerable sum of money In grading the
drives and in planting trees. In Bomls park
there was nothing done until late in the fall.
This spring Mr. Cleveland will submit his
plans for the improvement of the park.
Up to this date the superintendent has ex
perienced considerable dlfllculty In growing
trees and llowers in JelTerson square , owing
to the fact that the noxious gases from the
smelter havu proven fatal to the vegetation ,
denuding it of vegetation.

PARADISE OF THE PACIFIC
Commanding Position of the Ilawniian
Group of Islands ,
CENTER OF A VAST OCEAN TRAFFIC
Commercial nnd Polltlrnl Advantage -
vantageI'rmlucllvo ; Wo ltli of the
Coiintrjr Interest * of tlio United
Btntei In Annexation.
In climate and fertility Hawaii deserves
ho title , "Tho Paradise of the Paelllc. "
L'hcro arc but few shadows to the lovely
'Ictures ' of the country painted by travelers ,
nit these arc overbalanced by the advantages
f location , Within the vast expanse of the
. 'nclllu ocean the Hawaiian group of In
habited Islands occupy a commanding posl-
ton. They nro directly In the track of
csscls sailing from our western ports.
They arc the natural rendezvous
'or coal and supplies of the trading vessels
if three continents America , Asia and Aus-
ralla. Besides the harbor nt Honolulu , ten
miles away Is Pearl harbor , a fortified
United States naval station , which by the
cmoval of a coral reef could bo made ono of
he most spacious harbors In the world. The
intrauce to this harbor Is such that the trade
kvlnds would facilitate the entrance and dc-
> arturo of ships under salt. As n station for
mbmnrlno telegraphs to connect the eastern
and western hemispheres and ns a relay port
"
"or Atlantic commerce upon the completion
if the Nicaragua ! ) canal , thcso islands have
long claimed special attention.
llivriiU'H Strategic 1'osltlon.
The essential public Interest attaching to
lawall grows out of its central position in
ho commerce of the Pacific. Honolulu is
exactly lu the track of all steamers sailing to
Australia from San Francisco or Pugct
sound. The t ratio In this line Is between
kindred peoples , nnd already includes ono
line of monthly steamers , with other lines in
early prospect. Even more precisely is
Honolulu lu the direct route of one part of
that enormous trafllo from Atlantic to
Pacific ports which awaits the cutting of
the Nicaragua ship canal , to burst in one
impetuous tldo through the isthmus. All tlui
trade with China and Japan from American
> orts on the Atlantic must tnko the Nicara
gua route. It is this largo movement of
ocean commerce impending in the immediate
future which lends the most serious impor
tance to the political relations of thcHawaiian
kingdom , livery ship from the Atlantic
crossing the Pacific to Asia will naturally
sight tlio Hawaiian islands , nnd ovcry
steamer will bo likely to replenish her coal
bunkers at Honolulu. This fact will render
the political condition and International ro-
"atlons of Hawaii of importance.
Although not upon tlio shortest or "great
circle" route between California and China ,
Honolulu is practically a convenient port of
call for steamers upon that line , ns many of
them now do call. This tendency will in
crease with the coming growth of Honolulu
as a general calling and coaling station. It
is also a natural port to call and supply for
ships to China from Callao and Valparaiso.
Honolulu is the great cross-roads of Pacific ,
commerce. More than this. Honolulu Is the
only cross-roads of the north Pacific and
the north Pacific will bo the chief region of
commerce. This port Is wholly alone in its
commanding position. It has absolutely no
competitor. From the Marquesas to the
Aleutians Hawaii is the only land In that
tremendous ocean expanse west of America
where a ship can call within a space of 4,500
miles from San Francisco and 0,200 , from
Nicaragua.
No Other 1'uclllo Stations.
At these distances , but far south of the
route , lies the poor llttlo havonof Jalust and
a llttlo beyond It that of Strong's island.
Thcso are over 2,000 miles beyond Hawaii.
Scai-cely anywhere else on the globe does
there stretch so vast an expanse of ocean
absolutely devoid of land as that which rolls
unbroken by roof or Islet between Hawaii
nnd America. From any point between
Panama nnd SItka a bird flying westward
finds no inch of llrm rest for Its foot until
Hawaii Is reached. Beyond Honolulu there
is no port available except Guam , and that Is
only 1,500 niiics cast of Hong Kong ,
while being 5,500 from San Francisco
nnd 7,500 from Nicaragua. Honolulu
alone suitably divides the distances , being
4.250 miles from Nicaragua and 4,1)00 )
from Hong ICong. Jalust , Strong's island
and Bonabeo are too tar south of the route
to bo considered. By the geographical ne
cessity of the case everything centers at Hon
olulu , ns the only port of call. The larger
part of the steamers crossing the Pacific
will find It expedient to coal nt Honolulu.
It seems certain that all these to nnd from
Nicaragua will do so. Within ten years
Honolulu will clearly hnvo to provide for the
accommodation of from twenty to thirty
largo steamers per month , together with
that of the colliers supplying them and this
In addition to her present trado.
It Is true that steamships can make the
run of 9,000 miles from Nicaragua to Hong
Kong or Yokohama without replenishing
their bunkers. It will not , however , ordi
narily pay to do that. The storage of tno
necessary coal will displace just so much
paying freight.
Kxtrnslvo Traffic.
This will bo a formidable Increase of busi
ness , and must materially affect the commer
cial , and with them the political , relations of
Hawaii. The amount of tounago likely to
como through the canal soon after its open
ing Is roughly estimated nt 10,000.000 tons
per annum. This is equivalent to five ships
of 3,000 tons per day , together with fifteen
ships of 1,000 tons. This will steadily and
rapidly increase , as 1ms the Suez traffic.
Now , it seems not unfair to estimate one-
tenth of this tonnage will bo In the Asiatic
trade , and will call at Honolulu.
This allows for thp largo proportion of
American trade with Asia by way of the
Pacific coast , and remaining on the great circle -
clo route. The favorable position of Honolulu
lulu wilt bo materially enhanced by the
absolute necessity of using these Islands
ns the Intersecting point for telegraphic
cables across the Paeillc. It Is obvious that
alt cables between Australia and the North
American Paelllc coast must make Honolulu
their llrst station.
Such extensive commercial change nnd
development , as Is thus foreshadowed must
involve serious political changes for Hawaii.
The vast commerce ulx > ut to traverse the
Pacific will imperiously demand adequate
shelter and protection of the common port of
supply Honolulu. A government muse eylst
there so strong us to assure complete secur
ity from disturbers within and aggressors
without. Such government must possess
suflleieut enterprise nnd ability to maintain
the largest conveniences of every kind to the
ships calling there.
Commercial Importance.
The objection which "prudent Americans
can have to the Hawaiian annexation scheme
from n financial standpoint disappears when
the value of commerce at present and future
commercial possibilities are considered. The
value of imports during the year 1690 was
nearly $7,000,000 ; the exports for the same
period were valued at $13,232,000 , making a
total foreign commerce ol over 20,000,000 , or
# 225 for each inhabitant , a larger per capita
than that of any other country on earth.
Over W per cent of this trade was done with
the United States , and 73 per cent of the
carrying tr.ido was done by American ships.
The principal Industry Is the growth and
manufacture of sugar. Tlio amount of capi
tal invested In sugar plantations is over $33.-
000,000 , of which about ir > ,000,000 belong to
Americans , the balance being hold by the
nrlttah , ( tornmna nnd other nationalities
Thd other Industries ttf'tlio Islands nro thn
cultivation of rice. ifiifTco , hammns , tilnu-
apples , ind live stock , Tuocoffco Is the finest
on earth , nnd the Industry , though compara
tively undeveloped , tni rapidly attracting
capital nnd promise , Jo , become second only
to sugar. , .
Wcmlth or'tYM Inland * .
The finances of thfc 'present ' government
are In a healthy condition. The receipts for
the two years ending April 1 , 1890 , wcro
(2,817,000 , and exceeded the current expendi
tures for the same period 8111,000. Tlio pub
lic 1I 1 debt is $2.503,000 , httorest on which is beIng -
Ing I paid nt tno rate of Ji , to 0 per cent. The
value of private property is estimated nt
$40,000 . n < Xf. It must' bo remembered also
that the state of industrial development
eorrcsiKMids very closely with that of our
newer i : states , nnd the present Is but n tltho
of the possibilities of the future. There Is
another cause which has created annexation
sentiment toward America lu preference to
Kngland , nnd that Is the islands nro now
laboring under severe commercial de
pression , owing to the adverse work
ings of the sugar clause of the present
tariff law. Before the enactment of the
McKinley bill Hawaiian sugar was ad
mitted duty free under a reciprocity treat } .
They were then on the same basis as Louisi
ana planters. The duty of 2 cents n pound
against West India's product represented the
ll.vrall und Louisiana margin of prollt. The
removal of this and the granting of the
compensating bounty to Louisiana planters
left the Hawailans out in the cold , Kxccitt
In favored spots , sugar can no longer bo
raised on the islands except nt n loss. Four-
fifths of the owners of sugar plantation
stocks are Americans , mostly residing in the
United States , who want annexation und the
same terms of protection that are granted
their Louisiana brethren.
Itciiaoim lor Annexation ,
An additional commercial reason for an
nexation is that Hawaiian bonds in the mar
kets of the world take rank with these of
the turbulent little South American repub
lics , owing to revolutionary scares , although
In none of the revolutions bus property been
affected or values unsettled.
The lack of real stability In the govern
ment has been a source of expense to the
United States , for it is deemed advisable to
keep u war slilp In Honolulu harbor con
stantly to protect , the rights of this govern
ment under a mutually unsatisfactory treaty.
This government desires a dominating in
fluence thero. The tlrst move looking to
that end was In 1870 , when a reciprocity
treaty was established. By this rico and
raw sugar were admitted duty free , giving
the Hawailans an advantage of $130 per ton
over other foreign producers. Under this
stimulus the exports rose from 13,000 tons In
18715 to 130,000 tons In IS'.M ) . The revenue of
fcur-llfths of this went to American citizens
mostly residing in the United States.
Hawaii was appropriately called nn outlying
sugar plantation of the United States.
In 1837 supplementary provisions wcro
made by which the time of the treaty was
extended and other products came in for
free duty , in return for which Kalakaua
ceded to the United States the exclusive
right to establish and fortify a naval station
at Pearl Harbor , near Honolulu , this right
existing only during the life of the treaty.
In 1SS9Secretary Biaino proposed to make
the treaty permanent nnd to create absolute
frco trade between the two countries , to
make the cession of the naval station per
manent , and to pledge to Hawaii full par
ticipation in bounties granted American
producers ot sugar. 'Commercially Hawaii
was to become ono with the United States.
There were other provisions looking to
the exclusion of other nations , and estab
lishing a sort of mlld'protcctornto over the
islands. At this time the attorney general
was a Canadian named Ashford , who , adroitly
using the local political situation , succeeded
at the instigation of too Dominion covern-
mcnt nnd the Canadian Pacific railway in
defeating this treaty , prpmising better terms
with Canada , which nave not since material
ized. '
Ono by ono the South Sea Islands have
passed under the yoke of European powers ,
until now only Samoajarid Hawaii retain any
vestige of Independence . On the Hawaiian
islands American Influence has always been
predominant , and this influence has greatly
increased during the Fast ten years , so that
now this nation Is in' cc-'ritrol of the kingdom
in everything except in' ' iiamo.

What thoMlnneapoiu M11U Have llien Doluc
for the Punt Week.
MINNEAPOLIS , Minn. , Fob. 2. The North-
westOrn Miller says : The mills r/ari with 6x-
cepttonal strength last week for this season
of the year , grinding over 80,000 barrels dally.
The aggregate output was 1S1,4 < )3 ) barrels ,
against 109,590 barrels for the week before ,
137,700 barrels for the corresponding time in
1892 , and 129,030 barrels in 1891. One more
mill is In operation this wok and the pro
duction will doubtless bo fully as large , if not
larger , than that df last week. Greater .dull
ness has characterized the flourmarkot for a
weelt back , the Weakness in wheat keeping
buyers from trading , except as purchases
could bo currently disposed of. None of the
Minneapolis mills appear to have taken
orders equalling their output. Some of
them , however , have a considerable
amount of orders on their books and atten
tion Is being given to filling them. Shipping
directions are said to bo coming in nioro
promptly thun heretofore. The foreign
trade is very dull.- Nevertheless a limited
amount of business Is being done right along
and the demand for bakers compares very
well with that for patents. It is , however ,

Nr.W YOUK , Fob. 2. In u lengthy ills-
patch regarding tlio proposed annoxtv
tlon of the Sandwich islands , the Wash
ington uoiTos ] > oni1cntof n morning paper
says :
"Enthusiastic members of the house
arc firmly impressed with the belief that
Mr. Cleveland favors not only the annex
ation of Hawaii , but of Canada. They
think ho favors the absorption by the
United States of the entire Xorth Amer
ican continent. * * *
"It was suggested to several members
that1 possibly Kngland might not stand
idly by and HCO the United States annex
such an iuportant possession as British
America. The reply was that Kuropo
would bo in a bltr/o of , vur within the
next twenty-four months , and that
England would bo so busy protect
ing her European and other colonial
possessions that she would not
be likely to do more than merely
protest against the action of
this government. It is remarked that
the sentiment in Canada is entirely
favorable to its annexation by this coun
try. The interests of both countries , it
is argued , are identical , and indissolu
ble. and the greatest good results to
both can bo secured by no better means
than by the unification of the two coun
tries.
Very Popular Not Ion.
"The annexation spirit has developed
wonderfully in Washington during the
last ten hours by the visit of Mr. Don
M. Dickinson , who thoroughly under
stands Mr. Cleveland's foreign policy. It
is presumed his mission hero included ,
in addition to stirring up the democrats
on the silver question , Iho disnemination
of the idea that Hawaii should be an
nexed.
"The first gun , it is runiorcd , will bo
fired in the house next week. One of
the leading democrats has , it is said , a
speech in preparation which will , to a
great extent , reflect the prospective
policy of the incoming administration.
Several days ago it was stated that
many democrats were adverse to giving
expression to their views until they hud
heard from Mr. Cleveland. They" have
evidently heard from him in an unmis
takable way.
"Nothing has transpired to change
the prevalent sentiment in admin
istration circles in favor ot an-
nexution. Indeed , Secretary Foster
is believed tojbo more thoroughly
wedded to that course than over sineo
his conference this morning with Chair
man Ulount of the house committee on
foreign alTairs , Representative Ilitt , ox-
chairman of the same committee , and
Senator Morgan of the senate committee
on foreign affairs.
n AVay.
"Pending the arrival of the Hawaiian
commissioners , the administration will
continue to feel the pulse of the two
houses on the subject. Both democrats
and republicans will bo consulted , Mio
object of the administration apparently
being to beat its way carefully in order
to adopt the 'course which promises to
bring about prompt action.
"It can bo said by authority that the
administration olllcials , as far as they
have gene in their work of 'pulse feel
ing , ' believe that the prevailing senti
ment is in favor of annexation and that
this will bo the course recommended by
the president unless some unexpected
obstacles should arise , after the arrival
of the annexation commission , which
will make it expedient to
adopt other means of obtaining
immediate control of the islands.
At the present time the question of a
protectorate is a secondary considera
tion and is receiving little attention.
To change the views of the administra
tion there will need to be a very sudden
revulsion of public sentiment on that
point or news from Hawaii showing that
the provisional government has been
short-lived nnd the queen is again in
control. The authorities do not antici
pate the receipt of any such news as
long as the Boston remains in port. "
Mr. Hiirrlson U Ilemly.
The Times' Washington correspondent
has this to gay upon the Hawaiian
affair :
"If all the intimations that seem to
come from tlio administration concern
ing its plan o'f operation in the Hawaiian
mutter arc to bo believed , the president
is prepared , and has been ready for
many months , to net in a very decisive
manner and with a view to the establish
ment of influence of the United States
in tlio Hawaiian islands.
"Tho report is again uttered that the
president looked for an outbreak , and
the statement is made , apparently on
authority , that the Boston was not at
Honolulu by accident , but in accordance
with understanding of the adminis
tration that it would bo advisable to
have an American force there just at
the time the Boston appeared in the
harbor of Honolulu.
Already Welcome ,
"If the reports are true , it may bo ex
pected that the Hawaiian commissioners
will find upon their arrival that the
president nnd Department of State are
prepared to moot them in the most
friendly manner and to co-operate with
them to some extent in their objects.
There will bo some surprise , no doubt ,
if the plan of the administration contem
plates departure from tlio policy ' enun
uinted hy Webster in 1812 , when tlio
State dopnrtment declared that tills
country could not consent to any opera
tion that interfered with the independ
ence of tlio islands , as tlio possession of
them by a maritime power would
threaten arbitrary snrvciilanco in tlio
Pat-illc ( similar to that which Bermuda
lias afforded in the Atlantic. "
Editorially tlio Sun says : "Lot us

that his opinion is that the Americans
in Honolulu would resist with arms any
attempt of the British to land troops at
Honolulu.
"I know the temperament of our people
ple out there too well to lulmlt of any
doubt as to what course they will pursue
if the British attempt high-handed
work , " said Colonel Bullock. "I call |
them our people , because they are |

TOKONTO , Out. . Feb. i In an edi
torial last evening , the News ( independ
ent conservative ) said : "If it is true ,
us reported in New York dispatches ,
that Goldwin Smith intends calling on
President-elect Cleveland nnd urging
action to encourage prompt annexation
of Canada , then that uneasy and nils-
chioveous gentleman has come peril
ously near the limit of forbearance
which ho has been allowed in this coun
try. Smith's scheme must inevitably
end in disappointment and perhaps in
volve Great Britain and the United
States in ono of the bloodiest wars In
their histories. Canadians tire far too
tolerant of these who tire trying to bring
about a transfer of this country to a for
eign power , and it is time that Goldwin
Smith should bo pulled up short or ex
pelled from the country. "
The Empire ( government ultra-loyal
ist organ ) , referring to the same sub
ject , says : "Wo warn Smith and these
acting with him that the limit of pa
tience of the Canadian pcoplo will soon
bo reached. "
