has not come here merely for health;
neither has he come, as some have report
ed, TO float a 81 0oo,0o loan. on which he
would pocket q tidy commission. 1t has
just leaked QUE that his mission is to pro-
pose TO the state department the annexar
ton of the Hawaiian islands to the United
States. This news comes directly from a
man largely interested in sugar interests
on the islands, and may be accepted as
authoritative.
Who Will Pay the Pension
or course, Kalakaua's officers will deny
1t, but all the facts show that the king has
reached the jumping of place and must
decide shortly either to risk another revo-
luton or sell his kingdom and get a fat
pension He has been authorized by the
Hawaiian government TO tender the ISL
ands to Secretary Blaine on terms which.
1t is thought, congress will accept. The
sugar planters, as well as Kalakaua, are
in hole" Under the reciprocity treaty
they really got bonus of cents a pound
on all their sugar. Now, under the Mo
kinney bill, which makes sugar free. they
lose all OF this, because the growers Il
this country receive bounty of cents a
pound.
After the Mckinley Bounty.
II the Hawaiian islands come under the
American flag the planters would receive
this bounty, which would amount to sew
erai millions per year. It's believed tie
administration will receive Kalakaua's
overtures with favor. Mr.. Blaine on re-
peated occasions has expressed the opinion
that sound policy demands that the Unite d
States should control the Hawaiian ISL

their acquisition on favorable terms. II 10
