HAWAIIAN STANDS.
Sensational Rumors of Their Annexation
Said to BE Untrue.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-H. A. p.
Carter, minister from Hawaii to the
United States, left the city last night
for San Francisco, to consult with King
Kalakaua on the subjet of the relations
between the two countries. He expects
to be gone three or four weeks.
To reporter he expressed his belief
that the story sent east from San Fran
cisco to the effect that the king is here
on a mission Of annexation, is an absurd
invention of a space-writing CORE
spondent He said "The king has
come to America simply for his health
and has no idea of advancing the an
nexation idea. He is considerably run
down and needs a rest. He Will not
leave the Pacific coast at ALL "
"The king, am free to say, is anx-
ious for the extension of the reciprocity
plan to all of the products of the islands,
and it is, no doubt, on that subject that
he wants to talk to me. He is a firm
believer in the benefits to be derived
from a general reciprocity, and is very
eager TO see it consummated | should
be glad also if the thing could be done,
but do not think it wise to take any
steps in that direction just at present,
in view of the attitude of the political
parties The late election effectually
blocks us for the present,

The Government Doing Something to
Relieve 1t.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.--An uneasy
condition of affairs in financial circles,
which is manifesting itself in demand
for more money and consequent gen

Guilty, is a matter of the most serious

Bonds and silver Purchases.
Secretary Window put out over S.
100000 Monday, SO, 100000 of which,
with the premium added was for four
percent. londs, and $500, 600 for silver
This will certainly have a beneficial
effect for a while, although in view of
the past heavy disbursements by the
treasury there is every reason to expect
that it will be rapidly absorbed. The
secretary will keep up his bond and sill
yer purchases to the full limit permitted
by law and the means at his disposal
but he has fixed limit for himself, and
that is determination not to bankrupt
the treasury or to touch upon the $780,
0O0, 600 reserve kept for the redemption
of United States treasury notes.
The secretary whose exTerience and
Judgment is not questioned, is positive
in contradicting the prevailing impress
sion that the present trouble is the re-
suit of contraction of the currency. He
says there has never been time since
the war when SO much money has been
poured out by the government, but the
effect is scarcely appreciable. The vol
ume of circulation has been increased
over 100000, 900 since the beginning of
the present administration, and $50, 600, :
600 of this has been put out within the
past five months. Further relief when
the treasury has exhausted its resources,
the secretary says, must come from CON
gress, but he has hopes that his last call
for $5,000,0O0 of fours will be of great
benefit
