HAWAII WANTS ANNEXATION.
Popu lation Favorable to Close Union
With the United States.

CHICAGO, Sept Hon. L.. S. Thurston, of
Honolulu, who is in this city, said to reporter
tonight that the Mckinley bill; has had the effect
of uniting the native and foreign population of
Hawaii upon the subject of annexation. He
has just received one of the native
newspapers, which advises the formation
of republic or the immediate annexation to
the United states. This fact is remarkable as it
is the first time in Hawaiian history that the
natives have publicly favored such a thing.
While ii is true they are weary OF the monarchy,
yet nothing but the blow at Hawaiis sugar in
dustry could have brought them to favor an
ne Xation.
The hope of the planters there is that the
president will ne1t year exercise the power
given him to place the duty again upon beet
sugar from such countries as have not re-
cprocated with the necessary free entries This
would relieve the burden, but at any rate
Hawaiians are preparing to negotiate with the
United States for free trade
Thurston says now that the sugar industry is
no longer the great source of income 1t is in
tended TO bring the islands prominently before
the world as q land for the tourist.

PORT ANGELES BANK MUDDLE.
Cashier Sahlinger Advised That He Has
Grounds for Action Against Schwartz.

TACOMA, Sept 1.-tspecial. l-Cashier Sahlin-
ger, of the First National bank of Port Angeles,
has been advised by Assistant United States
District Attorney Sullivan, of this city, that if
the representations made about Sheriff Schwartz
while an officer of the bank be true there is
reasonable grounds for charge OF criminal
offense. Mr.. Sahlinger had consultation here
teday with Mr.. Sullivan.
During the absence of the banks cashier, II is
said, Mr.. schwartz while president OF the bank,
and a member of the firm of Schwartz & Co.,
having negotiated loan of $500 or $1,000 of a
Victoria banking house, instructed the Victoria
bankers to charge his bank with $500 and
credit the firm with that amount, and also failed
to make any entry OF the same in the banks
books. AT this time, it is said, the Schwartz 81
Co. account was overdrawn 500.
Mr.. Sahlinger denies that an element of
politics enters into the matter, but holds that
schwartz is seeking revenge, as sheriff, for the
action of the directors of the bank in passing
resolution to prosecute him for violating the
banks rules while its president.
