Trying to Prevent a Reciprocity Treaty
with the Hawalian islam Is.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 24.-The Ex-
aminer publish the following advices
from Honolulu. under date of March u:
The new commercial treaty between
the United S ates and the Hawaiian
islands has been received from Wash
ington and mas been submitted to Sc
cret conference of The queen and her
cabinet
The new treaty calls for the cancella-
tion of the present existing treaty be-
tween the two governments and the
sub titution of the document, which
permits of full and free interchange. of
all products, both natural and manu-
factured of the two countries.
This treaty is said to be the same
which was submitted to King Kalakua
shortly before his death in San Francis
co. The king objected to the treaty be-
cause Hawaiian sugar was not put on
e ual terms with American sugar to re-
ceiye bounty.
1t is not known what action on the
treaty will be taken by the government.
but it is stated that the influence of the
English friends of the queen, as well as
the influence of The resident British
diplomats, will prevent her from ac
cepting the new treaty in its present
form.
1t is almost conceded that her majesty
will turn to Canada and Australia for
an arrangement similar to the CONNER
cial treaty heretofore existing between
Hawaii and the United State Owing
to the appointment Of ChaIle3 b. Will
son, as marshal Of the kingdom, two
members Of the cabinet WI resign.
Wilson is said to be an illiterate work
man, but is on friendly relations with
the Queen.

OF fish are kippered every day. These
nre sent to all parts Of the world, and
enjoy a reputation unequaled by any.
except those cured by Mr.. Taylor and
his son James In this city. Mr.. Taylor
was the first to introduce the business
In this country, and his sales have
been enormous, orders having come
from New York, Philadelphia and a
score OF other places.
In fact the orders for klppered white
fish, bloaters and other kinds have
been so great, that they have been un-
able to fill them without doprivlng
themselves of any to retail. This
branch OF the trade has been very
large, and Mcclure In the Eighth street
market, with the Messrs Taylor in the
King and Madison street markets, are
scarcely able to supply tho demand.
