THE PROTEST..
(Opinion of the S. F. Chronicles

Much space has been wasted i'll
Eastern newspapers in the discussion
of the annexation of Hawaii by Eu-
ropean Governments. This has been
one Of the main arguments OF those
who advocated reciprocity, although
treaty, made some years since by
Great Britain and France and sub
sequently subscribed to by the
United States, guaranteed to the Ha-
waiians their independence. Re-
Gently the Australians have been
agitating the annexation of New
Guinea by the British. This and
the loose talk of American recipro-
city advocates has induced the Ha-
waiians to take a peculiar step. The
Prime Minister, GIBSON, has issued
a protest to the European Powers,
declaring that the Hawaiians have
strong love for their Government,
and that this sentiment of nationality
is also shared by other Polynesian
people. Thus, he claims that 10 an
mex any of the larger islands of the
Pacific would be to stamp out this
sentiment of nationality, inficting
cruel wrong upon the islanders.
There is nothing faulty in logic or
facts in this protest. The rage for
colonizing semibarbarous countries,
which now seems to possess the
French, is not to be commended.
We fancy that no European Power
would give much for the possession
of Hawaii, even with it's lepers thrown
in, and we are certain that the Uni
ted States would find it very costly
as a gift. What makes the protest
a curiosity is that at the same time
it was secretly sent out to Europe, a
schooner was fitted up by the Co
vernment ostensibly to gather in
laborers from the South Sea Islands,
but really to make overtures to them
to join the Hawaiian kingdom. This
ex-Missionary GIBSON has vaulting
ambition. He sees in fancy a great
Polynesian empire, with KALAKAUA
at its head, but with himself as the
real ruler. His genius is cramped
by the narrow limits of Hawaii, and
while he protests to Europe against
the lust for annexation, he is secret
ly negotiating to destroy these is
land nationalities for which he pro-
fesses so tender a regard. The
scheme shows considerable ingenuity
and, perhaps, might lead 10 success,
were not the Hawaiian kingdom so
puny and contemplate. AS it is,

AUSTRALIA AND ANNEyATION.

The sentiment in favor of independ-
ent action on the part of Australia
in regard to the annexation of vari-
Gus islands in the South Pacific is
very strong, and is apparently gath
ering strength daily. France is
shipping its convicts to penal settle
ments adjacent thereto, and Australia
having rid itself of the British convict
system, does not propose to become
receptacle for the overflow of
French prisons. Australian opinion
on this point is not to be triaed with.
The newspaper press unanimously
condemns Earl Derby's dispatch,
and in the Victorian Parliament, in
Melbourne, Prime Minister Service
declared that Lord Derby had failed
to appreciate the danger and that
the colonies themselves must devise
means for it's prevention. A confer
ence of the representatives of the
various colonies will be held in
Sydney, N. S. W., in the latter part
of November, at which the subject
will be discussed. We predict that
the colonies will carry their point,
and that the imperial government
will find an excuse for going back
upon itself.-,S. r. Eveeing Po t..

The Condition of Hawaii.
THE OPINION or GOVERNOR WELLS.

A gentleman living in Honolulu
received by the last mail letter
from Ex-Governor Wells of Wash
ington, d. c., who visited this King
dom about two years ago and was
highly pleased with all he saw. The
Governor says keep myself pos
ted on the public affairs in the is
lands and very much regret that they
are in such deplorable state. 1t
must affect the prospects of the
treaty and will surely mar, if not
fatally injure, the hopes now in
dulged in of its being continued.
The question which ought to eNer-
else your minds is, How is it to be
remedied? l am glad to see that you
have such a splendid line of new
steamers which will revolutionize
communication between San Fran
cisco and the islands. -

A robbery took place last week at
Laupahoehoe landing when three bags

from the store house. They were sent

hoehOe plantation. Mr.. Beckley, purser

Cheeseboro, who has charge of the store
house, and he reported them as missing
at 6 o'clock on the following morning (;
he did not however telephone the loss to
the steamer in Hilo so that her officers
had no time or opportunity to make n
search or inquiry into the circumstances.

Circus troupes include every variety,
snd have their own specialists as well.
Clown and harlequin may be developed
from any of these; many of the famous
old clowns were accomplished spade
dancers. But it is the mode now TO

find acrobatic ballet-troupes, dualo-

minstrels and step-dancers who accent
uate their hornpipes with somersaults
and hand-springs.
Although most of those who follow
this calling assume foreign names, they
are nearly all English; and English ac-
robats, like American circuses, French
actresses, Italian singers and German
musicians, are noted all over the world.
In many parts they are much more
highly esteemed than they nre here; in
South American countries, for instance,
the arrival of clever gymnast causes
as great sensation as new prima don

which on foreign tour are of more ex-

A Singular Phenomenon.

Not long ago three or four gentlemen
| were comfortably seated In front of the
Hotel Brunswick in Austin, exchanging
"reminiscences and untruths regarding
their experiences during the war. All
OF. these gentlemen had fought, bed and
come worry near dying in the Confederate
army. Each had something interesting
to tell about battles in which he had
been engaged. There was ono excep-
ton. Colonel John Randolph Tanning,
afVirginian gentleman who had dis
| tinguished himself on the field, listened
to what the others said, but did not vol
unteer to impart any of his own experi-
ence.
"Now It is your time, Colonel" said
Major Rangoon, of North Carolina.
Cant you give us something startlingP
Tell us about the Federal battery you
captured at Charlottesville.
"Since you insist upon IL, gentle
men," replied Colonel Tanning, "I
will relate little incident connected
with the capture of that Yankee battery.
1t struck me as being very singular.
The story is about my horse Black
Hawk. He was, as some of you know,
Jet black-not white hair on him except
star on his forehead. He was splen-
did riding animal, but he was not pre-
cisely war horse like the animal de-
scribed by Job. He was more of lady's
horse than war steed. When he smiled
the battle from afar, and heard the
shouting and the noise of the Captains,
he didn't say "Ha! Hal as Jobs charg-
er did. He wasn't that kind of a horse"
Probably his heart was not in the
struggle. He may have been an inn
ported Northern horse with Abolition
tendencies" suggested Major Rangoon.
mo, itwasn' that said the Colonel.
"He was naturally a timid animal. This
was the first time that L had ridden
Black Hawk into battle, and the poor
brute trembled all over. l received an
order to advance under cover as near
MS possible to the battery, and then
charge. just before we made the
charge shell from the battery fell
within ten feet of my horse. He reared
up and uttered the peculiar cry of
horse in mortal terror. The poor fell
low trembled so that l was in danger OF
falling off. Fortunately the shell did
not explode. "A moment later / was
leading my regiment in headlong
charge on the battery, with shells eX-
ploding over and on every side of us.
Only one-third of my regiment survived
that fearful charge. After the battery
had been captured, noticed that all of
my men looked very strangely at me
and my charger. happened to glance
at the animal, and, gentlemen, what
am stating is solemn fact, to my
amazement, instead of being on the
back of a black horse, / was riding
white horse. Excessive fright had
changed every hair on the animal from
coal black to a snowy white-all except
the little star on his forehead that had
turned as black as your hat. never
heard of n similar occurrence, gentle
men. 1t was very remarkable.
"Very'' said every one in chorus.
There was pause, quite long pause;
then Major Rangoon said:
Colonel Tanning, you have just re-
turned from Washington City, have you
notp"
"Yes.n
"Did you meet Tom ochiltree when
you We're at the Capital?"
81 did,"

True Ghost Stories.

The following stories are told by the
London correspondent of the Liverpool
Mercury:
"When, hardly more than lad at
Lancaster, the future defender of vivi-
section was studying for the medical
profession, he had horror of the ghastly
details of the business which he imagined
he could never overcome. He was cured,
strange to say, by a fright. Having to
take some medicine on windy night to
Lancaster Castle, he hadto pass through
the room in which he had taken part in
with the basket of medicine under his
arm, the clouds which hid the moon sud-
denly parted, door slammed, and
looking up, the future biologist saw
what he thought was an enormous figure
in white, with arms out-stretched, look
ing down upon him. He turned around
trembling, and against the wall opposite
stood another figure in white. He
dropped his basket and ran. The pa
tients in Lancaster Castle got no medi-
cine that night But when he returned
next day and found that he had been
frightened by mortuary sheets, he braced
his nerves up so that he was soon col
lecting skulls. He made fine set, but
for long time he could not get an
Ethiopian skull. At last a negro died
in Lancaster Castle, and the young doc
tor got permission to have his head. 1t
was again windy night when the op-
Grafton of removing the head was de-
termined upon. But habited in his long
cloak, then the fashion, and provided
with blue bag, the comparative anato-
mist soon had the head safely slowed
away. AS he left the room in which the
coffin lay, however, the wind slammed
the door, caught his cloak, and nearly
threw him upon his face. Attempting
to recover himself he lost his hold of
the bag, and the head fell out, rolled
with increasing velocity down flight
of steps, across courtyard, and settled
itself upon the neck, with one eye open
and the other shut, in a room where two
women shrieked. The professor rushed
wildly after it, took no notice of the
women, seized the skull, put it in his
bag again, and ran from the castle.
Four or five years afterward he was at
tending a dying woman, who called
loudly for a clergyman, to whom She
had something to tell. The. doctor
begged her to tell him, as no clergyman
was near enough to be called in time.
At length she spoke. 80, sir, had q
husband who was negro, and fear u
bad man. He died, sir, in Lancaster
Castle; and oh! sir, l was standing one
day in the rooms, when my husbands
head came out of the floor, and seemed
to ask me to help him. And then, sir,
the devil came through the door,
snatched up the head, put it in bag,
and disappeared before / could do any
thing. And have never done anything.
o, sir, what can l do for my poor hus-
hands soulph
