The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1889-10-28

is very weak leeiIHS, uoIlCooOlS
dependent on the situation IN the
east. Hawaiian receipts are small.
On the 18th, Claus Spreckels mott
fed the sugar trade of the entire
country, by circular that he will at
once begin refining at Philadelphia.
The circular solicits the business of
all iobbers. The rush of New York
brokers to secure the handling OF
the product in that city has been
without parallel. Twenty-eight
brokers filed their applications for
the business long ago. When the
refinery is running full blast, it with
the California and other independent
refneries, will be able to supply far
more than half of the entire trade.
Mataafa Elected.
Samoan advices by way of Auck-
land are that Mataafa has been
elected King with the free consent
of all the foreign representatives ex-
cept the Germans. No further par
ticulars are at hand except that
Malietoa advised the Samoans to
choose Mataafa, and retired in his
favor.
The report has created stir at
Berlin and Washington. The Ger
man consul has refused to recognize
Mataafa and the North German
Gazette semi-officially announces
that Bismarck will not, under any
consideration, permit Mataafa to
reign. Blaine has intimated that he
thinks the Samoans should govern
themselves, but he has refused to
commit himself to any statement.
Blaine, however, is not surprised
that the Germans feel hurt at this
latest testimonial of disrespect from
the Samoan people. It is believed
in some quarters that the United
States will try to get Mataafa to re-
sign in favor of Malietoa.
