Of Importance in Diplo-

The Policy Of the Queen Is Arousing
Much Feeling Among the People
of the Island.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26-Many rumors are
in circulation in the neighborhood of the
state department ON the subject of Hawa-
iian annexation. It is believed that in the
near future the question will become the
most engrossing one before the American
people. There are those who think they
States and Great Britain, in which the
cluster of islands in the Pacific. ruled over
by Queen Lilioukalani, will prominently
figure. They look with feelings OF appre-
hension upon the plans for strengthening
the Halifax Notifications, the perfection OF
the Canadian Pacific system along the
northern boundary OF this country. the
new cable to the Bermudas, the seizure by
the redcoats of the territory of Venezuela
and the concentration of British influences
at other points on the American continent,
and more conspicuously of late in the
vicinity Of the Hawaiian islands.
1t is conceded that the nation in control
of those islands of the sea would have a
great advantage over other nations con-
tending for the mastery in Pacific waters,
especially Great Britain. since they lie
directly in the path of vessels plying be-
tween the principal North American ports
and~Australia. More than anything else is
feared possible revolution upon the
islands. It is known here that the policy OF
the queen, in pandering to the foreign pop
ulation rather than the native element
is arousing much feeling among the people.
In the event of an uprising it is probable
that the foreign ships in the harbor would
be called upon to land foreigners sufficient
to maintain order. Naturally. ships of the
this DUTY. rather than any other, though
the English would welcome an opportunity
to do so. For this reaeon an American
warship will hereafter be stationed al
Honolulu, and should a protectorate be de-
manded the officials of the state depart
ment think the stars and stripes should be
unfurled rather than union Jack.

An Opium Haul.

Yesterday morning the Chinese at the
Quarantine Station became unruly and
threatened to interfere with the officers
who were examining their baggage.
There were only three policemen at the
station, and as they were of course I'M
able to cope with an incipient riot, a
telephone message was Immediately sent
to the Police Station, and Captain Robt.
Parker was sent at once to the scene of
the trouble with a squad of sixteen men.
These were drawn up in martial array,
with the result that the seditious
Chinese were overawed. Explanations
were made to the immigrants by some
Chinese residents who happened to be
on hand, and the fractions crowd dis
persed, taking their effects with them,
but leaving one mysterious box which
none seemed anxious to claim. Captain
Parker lifted the box, and found it just
a little too solid for clothes, so he called
the Marshal, and the trunk was opened
1t contained just 40 half-pound tins of
opium-evincing afresh how true it is
that an. unpromising exterior often
covers a rich heart. Some other little
finds were also made during the day.

Very Sensational.

A San Francisco paper prints the fol-
lowing exaggerated statement regarding
Hawaiians and the Charleston:
From private advices received by the
Zealanda it is learned that the Hawai-
ians We're glad to see the last of the
Charleston. The day before she arrived
the Prince Consort, John Owen Dominis,
died, and the natives are now satisfied
that her arrival portends the death of
one of the royal family. All the money
in Honolulu would not tempt native to
row any person off to the Charleston
after dark. The Kanakas assert that
they can see King Kalakaua walking
backward and forward on the bridge of
the cruiser, and are afraid that he might
want to come ashore with them. When
the cruiser disappeared beneath the hori-
zon on her way to Japan all the natives
heaved a sigh of relief and breathed a
fervent prayer that she might never re-
turn to Honolulu.
