Notes and Comments.
SAN Francisco, Jan. ~, 1891.


Since my last letter of information
was dispatched TO the BULLETIN the
Royal party has returned to San
Francisco. His Majesty the King
caught a severe cold during a fourteen
mile driv ate santa Barbara during
his Southern trip, which has devel-
oped into bilious fever since his re-
turn and will hence delay the de-
parture of the party to Honolulu.
Col. Macfarlane is also down with a
severe cold contracted during the
trip.
In consequence Of the Kings
sickness he has been obliged to give
up his intended trip to Sacramento,
where he was to attend the grand
Inaugural Ball to Governor elect
Markham. AS to the return of the
Royal party, the following is anthem
tic: The United States Navy De-
partment has ordered the cruiser
Charleston to return the King of
Hawaii to Honolulu. The Charleston
will be ready for sea from the oath
to the Goth instant. The Royal party
will probably leave San Francisco,
the Kings health permitting, on the
18th or 3Oth; in any event it has been
decided the embarkation will not
take place until after the departure
of the steamer Australia leaving on
the 9th instant. Word will be sent
by the latter vessel as to the date
upon which the Charleston will sail,
and Admiral Brown is authority for
the information that the Charleston
will reach Honolulu in seven days
after leaving here.
In regard to the withdrawal of the
bill from Congress protecting exist
ing treaties, it is stated that such
withdrawal was made because the
''Republicans feaI a discussion of the
tariff" and that Hawaii will there
fore have to take chances with the
rest of the world. The King has
denied in an interview that he would
shorten his visit to the Coast on ac-
count of rumors set afoat that he
feared complications arising in Ha-
waii, caused by British jealousy of
the personal favors and attentions he
has received from the American Gov
eminent.
1t is now asserted here that the
various rumors set afloat since the
Kings arrival, concerning his inten-
tons and views regarding Hawaiian
affairs, have been mostly put forth
by interested parties in Honolulu,
through letters sent by the mail &C
companying the King. Without
being able to locate all the sources
of Misrepresentation it is alleged
here that some are to be found in
letters received from British residents
and officials of Honolulu; while
others, such as the despatch pub
lished in New York on the 9th ult.,
have come through those residing In
Hawaii, who have been putting forth
insinuations of an annexation policy
TO further, if possible, private schemes
and desires for closer commercial re-
lations between Hawaii and the
United States.
Hon. II. A. p. Carter, Hawaiian
Minister, while at Seattle, en- route
for Washington, stated to a reporter
of the Post-Intelligencer that he
thought sugar refinery and beet
factory combined would be good
thing for the Sound. Mr.. Carter
further stated that he believed the
people of Hawaii would be pleased
to enter into trade relations with
Seattle, which would be profitable to
both sides.
