Tho l1ausaiian Treaty.

WAsHINcToN, February a4.-The
Ways and Means committee will con-
sider the abrogation of the Hawaiian
treaty at an early day. 1t is believed
that the committee will recommend
the abrogation of the treaty as an ad-
junct to Mr.. Morrison's tariff bill. II
such report is made, it will be stoutly
resisted in the House, and should it
carry there the Republican Senate is
relied upon to defeat the proposed
resolution. HN
In answer to a request from the sub
committee, Mr., John Searles, Jr., the
Government commissioner who visited
tie islands, has returned statement Of
facts ascertained in connection with his
visit. He says if we had made the isl
ands present of every dollars worth
OF goods that they bought from this
country and collected duties on their
sugars, we should have made no loss.
As to the effect of the treaty on this
country, Mr. Searles says that the price
OF refined sugar in San Francisco since
the treaty went into effect has averaged
two cents a pound more than in New
York, where every pound has paid full
duty. He speaks in bitter terms of the
course pursued by Claus Spreckels.
For seven years he was dictator. The
Planters, however, during the past year
rebelled against his autocracy and are
seeking to break his commercial, if not
his political, power. They have Sc
cured possession Of small refinery in
San Francisco, which they hope to OPP
crate successfully in connection with
their sugar estates in the islands. But
Sir Claus has determined upon their
destruction, and this explains the un-
precedented low prices now ruling in
San Francisco, only one cent above
New York figures The reasons why
the treaty should be abrogated are:
First account OF the enormous
loss in revenue to the country, which
is practically paid out of the pockets Of
small company of sugar planters and
spectators. The production has as
sumed proportions never dreamed of
when the treaty was made, and the
crop is still steadily increasing.
Second--It has not directly or in
directly benefited the consumers Of
sugar in this country, but has brought
the prduct Of the Hawaiian Isands into
direct competition with our sugar pro-
ducers and manufacturers.
Third The treaty has not benefited,
but has, on the contrary, injured, the
Sandwich Isalands, demoralizing
and destroying the native population
and substituting Chinese and other
Asiatics, while American influence in
the affairs Of the Islands, except so far
as it IS exercised for the selfish in
terests of an individual, has been
weakened.

A Trans-Paoifio Cable.

At their special meeting yesterday
afternoon the Board of Trustees of the
Chamber of Commerce heard the com
mission from the Colonial Governments
concerning the proposed cable across
the Pacific. Mr.. Wand, who accom-
panies Sir Alexander Stuart, was pres
ent. 1t is their intention to make APP
plication to this Government for a
subsidy of five per cent of the capital
required, that. being the percentage
contemplated to be contributed by
each of the interested Governments.
The estimated capital required is g..
100, 900. The route proposed touches
Honolulu, and connects with the Fiji
Islands, extending from Sydney to San
Francisco. The Australian Colonies
are perfectly willing to furnish their
quota, provided that the "round world'
rates are lowered. New Zealand, the
Atlantic Coast States. and the Ha-
waiian Government are agreed and
anxious to forward the scheme.
Afser the general discussion Colonel
c. L. Taylor, of the Board of Trus-
tees, offered the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, The Colonial Governments OF
Australia and New Zealand, as we'll as the
Hawaiian Government, are Interested in and
are prepared to support the establishment OF
telegraphic cable communication, and request
assistance therein of the United States Govern
ment; and
WHEREAS, The common interests of the
Pacific Coast will be greatly benefited by the
establishment Of said maritime communication;
therefore be it
ReSoired, That the Chamber of Commerce
Of the City OF San Francisco cordially endors.
ing the efforts being made, do respectfully re-
quest the California delegation in Congress to
use its influence to assist the progress Of the
project by such means as may be deemed wise
and expedent.
ReSof0eG, That two attested copies OF these
resolutions be forwarded to the California de-
legation in Congress.

Hawaiian Reciprocity.

WASHINGTON, February 2a.-The
Hawaiian Reciprocity treaty will be
taken up for consideration by the sub
committee of the Committee on Ways
and Means on Wednesday, AS stated
before, the California delegation will be
invited to appear before the committee.
II is said that FELTON, and Morrow will
speak in favor Of maintaining the treaty,
while Henley will oppose it. The other
members will take no part in the argu-
ment. The subcommittee, which is
composed Of Mills, Hiscock and May
bury, is in favor of terminating the
treaty, Morrison will have several men
appear before the committee to show
that it has benefited two men principally,
Claus Spreckels and Along, a China
man who is the second largest planter
on the islands. 1t will be shown that
the machinery used in making the su.
gar there is bought in Scotland and
that the trade Of the islands has moi
been brought TO this country to as
great an extent as was anticipated when
the reciproClly treaty was adopted.

The Panama Canal.

PARIS, February 26. Rousseau, the
delegate appointed by the French
Government to inspect the work on the
Panama canal, telegraphs that he is on
his return homeward, in company with
Chief Engineer Jacquet. 1t is re-
ported that he has apprised the Coy
ernment that it was useless for him to
await the arrival of De Lesseps and
that the French delegates are not in
accord with the views of Charles De
Lesseps on the questions of cost and
the time in which it is possible to con-
struct the canal. The report of NJ.
Rousseau, and also that of NJ. Jacquet,
are said to be so adverse that the Gov
ernment has already decided to refuse
to authorize the issue of lottery obliga-
tions in connection with the cOnstruc-
ton of the canal.

WASHINGTON, February 22.--An ex-
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Ha-
waiian Government who is in Washing
ton says that Germany intends to seize
the Sandwich Islands Secretary Bayard
has considered this matter of sufficient
importance to address note to King
Kalakaua on the subject. H. A. P. Car
ter, the Hawaiian Minister to this
country, went to Europe last fall. 1t
was stated at the time that the chief
object of his visit was to confer with
Bismarck in regard to the future seizure
of the islands 1t was soon after his
departure that the State Department
informed the Hawaiian Government
that the independence Of that country
had been guaranteed by the United
States, as well as by England and
France, and that this country would
prevent any foreign Government taking
control of the islands 1t is said that
the Sandwich Islands will be the only
highway inn of travel across the Pacific
when the Panama canal or some other
means Of ship transportation across the
Isthmus is completed. The Islands would
be the most important strategic point OF
the Pacific ocean. 1t is also said that
the men who are most interested in a
financial way in the islands are moi
averse to the control of the island:
passing to the German power.

Once, when Jere. Black was the
youngest judge in Pennsylvania, he went
to hold court in neighboring coun-
ty, where the leader of the bar was an
old man named Chambers, gray in the
law and jealous OF his professional
dignity. In the trial OF the very first
cause the young judge had occasion to
differ sharply with the old lawyer on a
question of practice. 1t hurt the old
mans feelings, and some of the other
lawyers so explained it to the judge
during the noon recess that he under
took to smooth the ruffled feathers.
So when court met again he expressed
from the bench his regret that what he
had perhaps bluntly said had been
taken hard by Mr.. Chambers, and
closed with the apt quotation from
"Othello": "Haply am black, and
have not those soft parts Of conversation
which chamberers have"

Confirmation of the report of the
purchase of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company's steamers Zealandia and
Australia from John Elder & Co., ol
Glasgow, was furnished yesterday af-

Oceanic Steamship Co., the purchasers
Mr.. Spreckels could not, he said, &C
into details of price and the trade fol
which they will be used at present, but
in regard to the former, William Cen
ter, of the same company, said that
the amount paid was considerably less
than the new steamers could be built
for. The Mail Company will relin-
quish possession of both vessels imme-

new acquisitions make five steamers in

pany, the three former being the Ala

ly required by the coming young men

Weather Stating.

In taking a trip through the slate
regions, short time ago, We noticed
quite number OF houses weather slated
instead of weather boarded, and found
upon inquiry, that Slate cost very little
more than weather boards, but being
more durable and lasting, obviating the
cost Of painting and repainting every
few years, the owner of the building is
saved good many dollars in course of
tlme, and the building always looks well.
We wCIe SHOWN a house weather slated
with the Peach Hill slate eighteen years
ago, and they are rs uniform in color as
the day they were put on, and still re-
tanning their dark blue color for which
they are so justly celebrated. We ven
ture the assertion, that if our people
once see the beauty and economy in
weather stating, that weather boards
will have to take back seat.
