CHICAGO, November 26.-Judge Lawrence
McCully, of the supreme court of Hawaii, is
at the Grand Pacific. He says the rumors
of desire by the islanders to be annexed to
the United States are ill-foun1ed, likewise
the rurnors of an intended occupation of the
island by England. The whites and blacks
desire independence. The British foreign
Office and the United States state department
hare an understanding that if the present
Hawaiian government collapsed the United
States will assume control of the islands.

total failure of the corn and bean crop in

families covered with only a few rags. half
dead with hunger, are dragging themselves
to the mountains, where they expect to sus-
tain life oy feeding on tunis, the fruit of the
