Hawaiian Affairs.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 23.-The Err
dBlincrs special correspondence from
Honolulu, dated March Il, says: The
new commercial treaty between the
United States and Hawaiian Islands has
been received from Washington, and
has been submitted TO secret confer
ence OF the Queen and her Cabinet. The
tresty calls for open aud free trade OF
all products OF the two countries. II is
said the King objected TO this treaty
because Hawaiian sugar was not put on
equal terms with the American sugar,
namely. to receive bounty, and
it is stated that the influence Of the
English will prevent the Queen from
accepting the new treaty in its present
form. She will likely turn TO Canada
and Australia for an arrangement sim
liar to the Commercial treaty hereto
fore existing between Hawaii and the
United States. Owing to the appoint
ment OF Charles Il. Wilson a Marshal OF
the Kingdom, two members OF the Cab
met will resign. Wilson is an illiterate
workman, but on friendly terms with
the Queen.

SOCIAL EQUALITY AT WELDON"

THF TIMES Of Yesterday morning contained
an article under the above caption, rejecting
very severely upon the management Of the
Atlantic Coast Line for permitting an indis-
criminate mixture Of negroes and whites in
the dining-room of Weldon on Tuesday last
The article was based upon information con-
tanned in an editorial in the Roanoke News
published at Weldon, which article was repro
duced in THE TIMES. and which certainly
made positive statements regarding the matter
well calculated 70 arouse indignation in the
South.
Major r. NJ. Sully, superintendent Of the
Coast Line System, was in the city yesterday
and be made statement regarding the affair
which puts IA rather different complexion upon
It, He says that the way in which il occurred
was this. The Ponce de Leon hotel In Florida
had closed for the season, and large number
of It's colored walters were on their way 10
their homes IN the North. To especially
avoid disagreeable mixture Of the races,
these walters were sent of on special train.
This train WIS delayed, and IN
fortunately arrived at Weldon Just as
another train came in. The walters, to
the number Of about forty, Immediately rush
ed into the dining-room and took their seats,
and as their appearance was accidental at that
particular time and as the company was un-
der contract 90 provide them with meals, they
were permitted 20 remain at the table unmo-
Tested. Mr.. Suly says that Mr.. Emerson
would be the last man in the world TO counte-
nance anything like negro social equality in
the South, and this affair would not have been
permitted had il not occurred under circum-
stances which he was powerless 10 control.
THE TnrEs was very 10th 10 believe that a
railway system 50 essentially southern and so
generally popular as the Coast Line should
have countenanced anything ofthissort, which
was so certain 10 be regarded in the South
in the light Of an outrage Weare glad. there
fore, Of the opportunity TO set the manage
ment night, and cheerfully give the CON-
pany's side Of the story as shown by Mr..
Sully's statement.
