HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
''REASONS FOR THEIR INDEPEN-
DENCE AS STRONG AS EVER"
The Question of am American Pros
tectOrate--A Letter from the
Attorney General.

SAN francisco, Nov. 18.-The steamship
Australia has arrived seven days from
Honolulu. The Hawaiian planters held
a convention at Honolulu beginning Oct.
26, and discussed a number of important
topics, among them the foreign labor ques-
ton and the adyisability of an extensive
raising OF coffee and tea on the island
Ex-attorney General Ashford published
an article October 80 in which he charged
the press OF Honolulu with being afraid to
frankly discuss the situation arising out
Of the changed conditions of reciprocity
with the United States produced by free
sugar sections Of the Mckinley bill The
Honolulu Bulletin commenting on the
letter says: The United States does not
want to disturb our autonomy. Those re-
ported utterances of her public men in
favor of a protectorate are based on the
false light in which the Hawaiian situation
is presented by such writings as appear in
the Ka Leo (newspaper) and to which
Ashford's letter bears somewhat close
affinity. The reasons for Hawaiian in
dependence are all as strong to day as
they ever were /" The United States
steamer Pensacola is still at Honolulu.
The U. s. steamer Charleston had not ar
rived there when the Australia left the
islands,

LOCAL POLITICS.
MAYOR HORR SAYS HE is NOT A
CANDIDATE AGAIN.
sickeIs and His Uncomfortable
Ambition Matters i'm Reference
to the Coming Election.

AmbttiOn-Matters i'm Reference
to the Coming Election.
The city council took the first step last
night toward providing for the county
municipal election which occurs on De-
cemberS by appointing supervisors and
inspectors.
There is any quantity Of speculation as
to who the new city officers will be- al
though no definite action has been made
toward their nomination. Mayor Horr
stated this morning that he was positively
not a candidate for reelection, and that he
would hereafter devote his attention to
earning living for himself.
Councilmen Murphy would not commit
himself. He will probably be on hand,
however.
Sickels smiled, and denied that he was
seeking the Office Of mayor Heis salts
fled to remain as the representative of the
second. Of course, it depends upon the
new mayor, as to whether or not he will
again hold the office of chairman of the
street committee, and silent partner in the
big corporation. Should he not be graft
fed, however, he will work himself in as
chairman of the judiciary. "It is not
money l am after" he says, 'tbut it's nv
dog-goned ambition that pushes me for
ward. can't help it" This would seem
to indicate that the Boss might like to PET
to the legislature if he can induce some
body to stump the county for him, or, fail
ing i'll this, will content himself with a
seat on the board of county commissioners
One ofSickels' friends quoted him with the
following this morning: 81 will build
county roads everywhere, and have a
hundred feet wide boulevard direct to Pu-
get City. 1t will make beautiful drive,
and l believe in giving the contractors and
their men employment the year round. 1t
circulates money, and it's nothin' but the
newspapers that's doin all the lzickin'."
A mayor, three regular councilmen and
one at tlarge are to be elected in addition to q
treasurer, health officer, and assessor. The
city attorney, clerk, engineer, and street
commissioners are to be chosen by the
council. Murphy, McBratney and Mari
go out, this term, as does also Perciyal, the
councilman-at-large who is elected for one
year. All persons voting at the coming
municipal elections must be qualified
voters Of the county, and residents of the
city for at least 30 days, while all persons
seeking Offices must have resided in the
city for at least one year previous to cleo
ton. The various wards will hold meet
ings for the nomination of councillnen,
and mass meeting will be called to nomi-
nate mayor, treasurer assessor, health
officer, and councilman-at-large The new
officers take their seats in January
There is strong talk of making a
new ward OF the west side, but
it is too late this year Residents
in that section Of the city, who are nearly
all property owners complain that they
are not properly treated. 1t is too late this
year, however, as al ordinance for Great
ing new ward must be passed sixty days

When the flniing birds cherp

1t Is told to US IN the legends.

Such il is. Death and life
walk hand in hand. The sickle
misses through space; enemies and
