tanned the following dispatch, which
is doubtless canard:
- Hawaiian Scheme
THE pr0pOsed Annexation Of the Ea-
waliau Islands.
Washington, July 2S.--Jonathan
Austin, the deposed Minister OF
Foreign Affairs of the Hawaiian Gov
ernment, has been in the city for
few days. 1t is understood that he
visits this country for the purpose
OF seeing Secretary Blaine, in the
hope that the latter may become in
terested in Minister Carter's scheme
for the annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands to the United States"
NErUBLICAN STATE NOMINATION.
The Republican State Convention
Mt Sacramento nominated Colonel
Markham, of Los Angeles, for gov
ernor on the first ballot, n stampede
from Congressman Morrow having
taken place after the roll call. The
first ballot stood--Markham, 299;
Morrow, 2SS; Chapman, A; Ship
pee, so; Preston, 3. Before the
numbers could be announced the
change of votes was so numerous
and uproarious as to throw the con-
vention into confusion, and General
Dimond, seeing that all hope was
lost of nominating Morrow, moved
that Markham's nomination be una
nimous, which was carried.
The Stanford railroad influence
and the entire weight of the federal
onicc-holders of the State was ex-
erted on behalf of Morrow, who
would undoubtedly have been nomi-
mated if Mr.. John d. Sprcckels had
not gone up to Sacramento and en-
tered the fight for Markham. The
Chronicle to-day attributes Nor
rows defeat to the influence of the
"sugar monopoly" and the "sugar
trust" The Examiner contains the
following which is self-explanatory 4:
"There were few who spoke of
the mysterious influence of j. ID.
Spreckels, but they did not say that
Spreckels had gone beyond his
rights as Republican in doing his
best for friend before Republican
convention. To be sure he had pull
ed half dozen or more San Fran
ciscans out of Morrow's fight, but
some other Republicans had pulled
thehl in. The Morrow men were
surprised at the turn things took
but they did not say that anything
was wrong or make any serious
complaint"
John ID. Spreckels made TIT
same explanation of his presence
and work to every one. ~ would
not have come" he said, "only The
: Chronicle attacked Markham, and a
) do not think the Chronicle has TIN
right to run the whole Republican
, party, / did what could to hell
Markham out, and am delighted t.
} think that | have been of some ser
vice TO him. If l can render hin
any further assistance l shall b,
pleased to be at his command"
: The Chronicle made bitter figh
against Markham, ana its defea
| and that of the federal brigade, suf
fciently marks the influence of Mr.
t Spreckels in the Republican party
1t is true that Huntington forbad
railroad employees to take part il
politics, but the old stagers were T.
the fore Notwithstanding and worke'
, for Morrow. The choice of Mark
1 ham is good one. 1t will ais
t have the effect of bringing tn
Southern and Northern sections @
| the State closer together. MARKHAM
| was at one time in favor of dividing
the State. He has recanted tina
heresy and is now staunch union
ist.
JOE CHAMBERLAIN "sUoUTs."
Speaking of unionists reminds m
that Joseph Chamberlain, the ambi
tious member for Birmingham, arriv
ed at New York yesterday by tn
Teutonic with his wife and family
!, and discussed home rule with
party of 'longshoremen at the land
ing, afterwards giving them half
y sovereign to drink. This SHOULD
I destroy his popularity among prohi
bitionists and the temperance part
: generally. But Joe will stand a
the better with the bcer-drinkin
: masses of Englishmen when the in
cident becomes known in the "igll
4 little island"
