ONE OF THEM.

That "fake" story of the Queen
Regnant aud the Queen Dowa9er's
being both momentariIy expected to
depart this life, with which was con-
joined most ridiculous story of
British intrigues to add these islands
TO the Jewels of Victoria's crown,
has been spread far and wide. The
reigning Queens retirement from
1Olani Palace to Washington Place,
together with the Queen DOwager'
prostration by paralytic stroke
facts that nobody here would deny
gave tint of plausibility to the first
story. There was not thread of
evidence for the fable about British
attempts or even aspirations to seize
the country. 1t is a wonder that
well-informed journals in tie United
States, much more in the very capt.
tai, should have given space, not to
mention seemingly serious editorial
attention, to such palpable absurd
ity. Here IS Great Britain, year
after year, for about a quarter of a
century, engaged in diplomatic
fencing with the United States, over
international questions of vastly
more material moment TO both coun-
tries than has been the occasion of
scores of great wars of history. The
matters in question are seemingly as
far from settlement as ever, each
one of them being held in allegiance
under one mOC1uS .Uiceadi after an
other. All this diplomatic wrestling
and diminishing is heroicaIly entered
into by each succeeding adminstra-
ton in either country. 1t is great
burden that would have been sum
marlly thrown off, by any admins
tration ON either side, long ago III
favor OF final stand with back to
the wall, but for one supremacy con
trolling reason, That reason is that
the statesmen of both nations realize
fully that, whatever the outcome of

immediate issues involved, war be-
tween these mighty nations, one in

HAS 1T COME AT LAST?

A few weeks ago we published,
from health magazine of the Coast,
q short account OF a girls having
been cured of leprosy in San Fran.
cisco by being subjected to oxygen
baths. To-day we copy from the
San Francisco Examiner another ac-
count of the case, which seems so
much like matter of fact rs TO dis
arm the chronic credulity horn of
frequent disappointment in alleged
leprosv cures. Mr.. Sachs of Homo
lulu, whose attention was called to
this report, on his recent visit to the
Coast, and who carefully preserved
it for the BULLETIN, was assured by
an acquaintance that the facts were
as there publicly recorded. If that
fair Californian has had her flesh be-
come as that of healthy child
again, then there is at last a tangible
ground of hope that the thousands
of afflicted people in these islands
may be restored to health and home,
and that after all these years of the
terrible scouage the plague may be
commanded, "Thus far and no
farther" 1t will cost the Board of
Health but a tritle to secure full in
formation from California regarding
this apparently successful expert
ment, which, if it prove what is as
serted of it, constitutes one of the
most momentous blessings that has
ever descended on suffering human

of mourning the awful responsibility
of helping on the catastrophe. With
this reflection given due exercise,
with the patent facts of Anglo
American diplomatic relations in re-
spect to other matters in view, and
realizing that Imperial statesmen
know well the jealous regard the
United States has for the Islands,
can any sane man conceive of the
Government Of Great Britain rs Civ
ing the iaintest countenance TO any
scheme for the acquisition of this
group by the Empire either through
patient intrigue or hasty violence!
No. The conception would only
find Judgment in the skull OF
either very ignorant or very
Anticipated biped. But how have
such pOsitive-appearing nara
tives had their origin? There is
not only plausible but a highly
probable solution of the conundrum
available. Two or three space writer's
on the California press and cores
pOndents for news bureaus were here
to describe for the press the circum-
stances of the late Kings burial and
the present Queen accession. While
here they acquired little knowledge
Of the political situation, which is
proving a dangerous thing in their
INSCRIPTIONS hands. One of them
impudently boasted when enjoying
Honolulu's hospit ality that he would
conjure up as good a sensation as an
other fellow had done who had earned
much admiring contempt for the
clever vulgarity with which he misre-
presented the funeral scenes at the
Palace. The boaster was afterward
thwarted in plan fully worked up
! for. interviewing the Queen with
questions as to her respective regards
for the American and the British peo'
pies. He, however, "faked" an inter
view that has been quoted all over the
United States as authentic, putting Hel
Majesty in a very invidious light by
making her praise the English at thu
expense of the Americans. His re
venge for the snubbing he got at thu
Palace is fortified by the space rate'
of from s. to SO column which hC
gets for every fresh sensation he cal
manufacture about the Hawaiian
situation. That is all. If anybody
concerned in the Washington admin
istration has aspirations for the Presi
dency, he will not allow rubbishy
correspondence about Hawaii to in
huence his conduct. When the
American taxpayer as represented il
Congress has any bills to 'dig up
for in connection with Hawaiian
scarce, he will take pains to get a
the bottom Of Cne grounds Ior TIN
expenses. Then pity the Statesman
who may have adopted a fimsy pre-
text for giving a squadron holida,
trip to these waters, when the homo
and dignity of the Stars and Stripe
require the ships elsewhere. 1t is a
we'll for US here to be honest witt
Uncle Sam in this respect, particu
larly when we can honestly assur
him that, as place for "waltinI
