NEW YORK, July l4.-Respect for the
vice. President is continually growing on ac-
count Of his manly, dignified character and
actions. His grief has been as deep as any
ones, and Its expression strong and earnest.
He fully realized the position In which
Guteau's utterances placed him. He talks
freely Of criticisms which his work at Alba
ny created, and recognizes that but for the
present situation il would be far less annoy
ing and embarrassing for him. The only
defense he offers Is that the demands Of
friendship seemed SO strong he followed his
first impulse aud started to the assistance Of
Conkling. Arthur's course is in sharp con-
trast to Conkling's whose long-delayed, cold
and formal words only added to the general
disgust. The cold-blooded interview which
he first furnished to the press caused undis-
gused regret among his fast Diminishing
circle of friends and defenders here. His
letter to the Attorney General aud telegram
which followed il does not even satisfy those
cepted as forming together the most uDfnr-
tunate public exhibition Of himself yet made
by Conkling. The events Of the week have
thus resulted in putting a wide distance be-
tween the position which vice. President Ar.
thur and Conkling occupy with relation to
the present affair. The circumstance that
Conkling's letter was not made public until
some days after Its date Is explained by the
statement that 1t was sent by mail undeI
cover to Senator Jones, whose mail, owing
to his severe illness, lay OH hts desk a day o.

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
The New York Times Thinks Raiakaua Waat
TO Sell His Kingdom.


to Sell His Kingdom.
NEW York. July I4.-This morning the
Times editorially says: IL Is al open secret
that Kalakaua, King Of the Sandwich Is
lands, is on . voyage around the world for
the purpose Of selling his kingdom. We
have the right TO regard with some nneasi-
ness the trading expedition Of King Kala.
-kaua. Virtually, the United States has q
mortgage upon the Sandwich Islands. That
we have monopoly Of the trade Of the Is.
lands, both as regards imports and exports,
10 well known. The government IL indie
pendent Of all other nations, Il Is true, and
1t is true that the government Is nominally
native, but II is undeniahle that the worthy
gentleman who Is King Of the Sandwish Is
lands by virtue of his descent from The
head chief, who seized the government once
upon q time, is merely figure head, and
that he is less of ruler Than constitutional
kings usually are. The fiercest annexa-
tionsts In the Islands are naturally Ameri-
can planters and traders. They fear TO have
their property interests transferred to the do.
minion Of European power. They long
for the time when they will not be obliged
to sdbmit to the payment of an import duty
on their own products imported into their
own county. They argue that nearly ev-
erything the Hawaiian Islands export goes
to the United States, aud nearly everything
imported Into the Islands comes from the
same Republic. If annexation ever arrives,
1t must take the Islands to the United States
That this step would be denounced by for
eign residents who are not Americans Is also
true, but In any event, although our govern.
ment cannot afford to promote any policy Of
annexation, the other governments of the
world should be notified that any attempt on
their part to acquire the Sandwich Islands
by purchase or otherwise would be regarded
as all unfriendly act. If we are to foster
and maintain the great commercial Interests
of The Pacific coast, that commerce will need
protection, which can be given 1t from a
military and naval station on the Hawaiian
Islands. We have already been offered g
station Of this character on the Island, but
the policy Of our government has been adj
verse to any such bartering of reciprocal
commercial treaties for political advantages
as this proposition contemplated. If King
Kalakaua really wants to cede his kingdom
to the United States, or place IL under
American protection, the shortest way &c
reach his object would be to offer to sell out
