COLONEL ASHFORD TALKS.
An Ottawa special to Chicago says:
Colonel Ashford, commander of the
Hawaiian army, admits that he would
not be surprised to see the islands
annexed to the United States in the
near future. The placing of sugar
on the free list under the Mckinley
bill deprived them of the reciprocity
advantages which they for years en-
joyed, and the plantation owners are
raising the cry of annexation, 80 that
they may regain what they lost.
