HE SANDWICH ISLANDS. - The
President, in recent conversation on
the subject of the Hawaiian Islands
affair, said in view of late publications
concerning them, it was proper that all
the facts should be known, which are
briefly as follows: This Government
had sent United States vessel to the
Hawaiian Islands to bring the King to
San Francisco, he having expressed a
desire to travel through this country and
thence go to Europe for the benefit of
his health. About the time the vessel
arrived at Honolulu the King died
This intelligence having been received
by our Government, the commander of
the Pacific squadron was instructed TO
send a vessel to the Islands in addition to
one already there, simply to protect the
rights of American citizens in case of
emergency, and to see that other nations
should take no undue advantage under
the new Government. General Schofeld
sailed on this vessel merely for the ben
eft of his health.

LESSONS OF THE FIRE.

The late fire in our city demonstrated
two facts One, lack of sufficient hose,
and the other, the necessity of more cis-
terms. Let our city authorities immedi-
ately take this matter in hand, and pro-
vide more adequate protection against
the deyouring element. One hundred
feet more of hose. on last Sunday morn
ing, would have saved Manuel Knights
building, worth $500. Let this fact
at once quiet all ideas of false economy,
when such a trihing expense may be
the means of saving so much property.

FARMERS MEETING. - Elsewhere
will be found communication from
"Many Farmers" calling a meeting, in
this city on the 1st proximo-two weeks
from to-day-to take into consideration
the proposition Of forming Farmers
Club, for the purpose of building ware
house for storing grain, and also to pro-
vide for shipping their products to mar
ket. This is move in the right direc-
tion, and we hope to see the meeting
largely attended. Our farmers have too
long suffered by middle men and ship
pers, and it is high time they were
taking some steps for their protection
against unwarranted extortions.

and the Government does not enforce
them. So lawyer of talent and self-re-
