HAWAIIAN POLITICS.
A Change in the Future Govern.
ment of the Islands.

j. H. Anderson, correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press returned yesterday
from a trip to Honolulu, and is at the
Grand.
Before | visited the islands," said Mr.
Anderson last night, :" had heard many
contradictory reports regarding the desire
of the Hawaiians for annexation with the
United States. During my sojOurn at
Honolulu l conversed with many white
residents, and found general coneensus of
opinion upon the subject.
The almost universal reply to my in
terr0gatlOn was, Yes, we are in favor of
annexation when the reign of the present
Queen IS at an end, but we don't desire a
change while she lives The popular i'm
preston is that Queen LiliuOkaani will be
the last sovereign of the islands, and that
when she dies a political union will be
effected with this country, or else the
United States Will be asked TO extend ro-
tectorate over the Hawaiian group Those
who held these views were more frequently
Epglishmen, Portuguese and Germans,
rather than Americans.
"The Queens health shows no signs OF
an approaching dissolution. On the recent
anniversary OF her coronation she enter
tanned her subjects and visitors from 5
o'clock In the morning until long past mid
night. a heavy rain was falling, and she
stood all day on the piazza of the palace,
but stood the ordeal without any bad physi-
cal effects. She may live and reign for
many years, but / don't think the heir
apparent will succeed her."

HIS TENDER TOE.
DR.. Berry Spells an Interesting
Hypnotic Seanee.

An experiment in hypnOtism that failed
to hypnot was made in the sleepng-rOoms
on the floor above the Receiving Hospital
last night. The professor was all right and
made the usual scientific passes with his
hands, but the subject spoiled the effect by
jerking his legs when a needle was jabbed
into his feet.
The professor was a dentist who for
merly made the hospital his headquarters.
He has lately been dipping into hypnotism,
and last night he drifted into the hospital
with a sad-eyed young man, who he said
was capital subject.

the professor, Il propose to show that Mind
reader Tyndal'S cataleptic fits were all

Grabbing his subject by the hand the
professor led the way upstairs, followed by
DR.. Berry and number of other persons.
As he left the operating-roOm DR.. Berry
took long, sharp needle from the instru-
ment-Case. On reaching the sleeping-roOm
the subject pulled off his coat and laid him.

few passes.
While he was doing this Berry removed
the shoes from the subjects feet aud got
the needle ready. After few passes the
professor remarked:

and then pass gently en- TO catalepsy. in

Steel" and the subject Strengthened out
stiff and rigid.
Berry gave the "steel" man prod under
the big toe with the needle and the subject
nearly broke his leg getting away from the
pain.
I don't think the conditions are favora-
bic tonight" observed the professor as he
brought the subject out of his trance.
Several more experiments were made, but
the subject appeared Ia be unusually tender
last night, and the professor had to give it
up without exposing TyndaH. Perhaps the
expose would have been complete had DR..
Berry forgotten his needle.

IT WAS A SCANTLING.
A NOn-UniOn Lumberman Gets a
Broken Head.

After a weary search extending over q
period of several days, George Gallagher
got job yesterday morning. He did not
like the place, because he was convinced
that the kind of work he was doing is not
healthy. and as soon as his head gets we'll
he will go sleuthing for the man who
knocked him down with a large coarse
club.
Gallagher came to the Receiving Hospital
early in the evening with scalp wound
which he said was presented to him by an
restaurant on East street. 1t was not dan
gerous wound but it gave Galagher's native
Industry a serious setback and he does not
care to WORK any more. While DR.. Berry
was gathering up the edges of the cut with
needle and thread Gallagher told how 1t
happened.
He said he was walking along the water
front yesterday morning when man asked
him if he wanted a job He said he did and
was put TO work discharging the lumber
vessel j. NJ. Griffith at Folsom Pier e
While Gallagher was at work another man
came along and asked him what he was
dong. Gallagher thought it best to tell the
truth and replied that he was handling
lumber. This seemed to satisfy the in
quisitive person, who then went away.
That was all Gallagher knew of the
dangers Of work until evening when he was
knocked on the head with what he thinks
was scanting. He has since learned that
the lumber handlers are striking, and has
made uD his mind that one of them struck
him. Gallagher is a sailor. who lately ar
rived from New York on the ship Macki-

PUGILISTIC NOTES.
Champion George Dawson No
News From Goddard.

Joe McAulife, the big heavyweight
pugilist was disappointed yesterday when
he found that his prospective opponent, Joe
Goddard, was not among the passengers
on the steamer Mariposa.
The only pugilistie celebrity the steamer
carried from the colonies was George Daw-
son, the champion lightweight of Aus
traIia. DawsOn's record as a successful
fighter has preceded his arrival and as a
matter OF course, the officers Of the boxing or
CARNATIONS here fastened TO shake the hand
of the newly arrived fistic star when they
heard of his coming.
Dawson has all the appearance of man
who will fight TO the bitter end. He Is well
built and comes from a successful stable of
colonial pugllists, who are built on the
lengthy plaza la FitzsimmOns.
Dawson stands feet inches now in his
tWenty-tIth year.
Although his trainer, Edward Alexander,
stated that DawsOn's intentions were to
follow his tate successful opponent, Will
Jams. TO England in the hope of getting q
return match. it can be safely said that the
new pug in town" will gladly accept fat
purse to meet any OF the present 140-pouDd
fighters in 'go" to a finish. The first man
who will be asked to fight Dawson is Gal
lagher Of Oakland, and if a match between
these fighters is made it may be assumed
that the contest will not be tlresOme 20 wit
ness, as both men have established reputa-
lions for hard punching.
Judging from appearances, the Pacific
Club Will have Dawson'S first hstic appear
ance in Frisco.
"Smiler" is now positive that Goddard
must have been away from civilization
when the California Clubs cable9ram
reached Sydney. "Smiler" says that God
dard is a great fellow for rOughing it, and
that be must have been "out OF town
when the message arrived, which was after
the MarpOSa had left for this city.
Goddard and Ned Ryan, another taking
aSpirant for heavyweight hOnOrs, fought at
the Melbourne Club on January for S625,
and although Ryan, according 10 accounts,
had the better OF the engagement for four
rounds, in the fifth, after short rally,
Barnett, one of Ryan'S handlers, stepped 10
the center of the ring and threw up the
towel. Ryan retired to his corner, and the
match was given to Goddard.
The spectators were taken by surprise
aud it was the prevailing opinion that the
contest was prearranged ana that the pugs
had agreed upon q division OF the purse.
Joe McAuliffe has written to the PTeSi-
dent OF the Olympic Club Of New Orleans
that be will meet SlaYn for a purse OF
5000 il the club will allow him his ex-
peuSes.
Tommy Ryan, who is matched to fight
Danny Needham on March 2, at New
Orleans, states that If lie should defeat
Needham he Will meet Jack Dempsey at
any weight the latter stipuiates in New Or
leans or California.
Dan CTeedOn and Martin Costello, the
Buffalo" will fight on March 3.
Billy Murphy will journey TO this city on
the next steamer, unless he and Critic ar
range night.

Jacob Green.
President Jacob i. Green of the Con-
Decticut Mutual Life Insurance Company
published on the 18th inst. the forty-sixth
annual report of the great corporation
which he so ably manages. President Green
in his clear and concise way points out to
the policy holders wherein their best inter

see just upon what business basis his COM
pany stands.
The Connecticut Mutual Life now has

A ONE O'CLOCK CLUB
With the Last Valencia-Street Car
as lis Premises.

1t is not every person in San Francisco
no knows that for three years past there
has existed "One o'clock Club"--not l in
the afternoon, but l in the morning. ANY
belated traveller on Market street at that
untimely hour, however, who makes an at
tempt to board the dummy of the last
Nalenca-street car would soon discover the
fact. Many wayfarers On the city's main
thOTOugbfare at that hour in question have
had their attention called to the excited
crowd who occupy the outside of this par
ticulaT car nightly, rain or shine.
The clUO contains many names eminent
In the whisky" literary and tobacco"
worlds Of San Francisco. The first mem
bers who attend the nightly session take
their seats opposite Montgomery street,
each cross th0Toughfare and Market street
itself then contributes additions to the
ranks, and when Powell street Is reached
President Peter McArdle stands up on the
front Of the dummy and calls the club to
order He then announces some vital ques-
ton Of the day as the subject for debate
and they start right in, to the intense aston
lShment OF any outsider who happens TO be
50 fortunate, OF unfortunate, as to chance
to take the Il O'clock car"
The subjects discussed during the past
few nights have been the Curtis case"
the de Greayer case" the tug of war"
craze, the fighting championship and the
Irish" question. Among the ablest and
most enthusiastic spOuleTs are John Krel-
Ing, Aleck Waugh, Lieutenant Carroll. ex-
Senator Paddy Murphy, Il. Ashe. c. Stepp.
Fred Raab and z. Dufy. When the de-
bates arrive at the point where a istic en-
counter Is imminent between antagOnIstlc
members across the dummy, then and then
only does the President interfere.

New ZeaJand.

The factories act will hereafter be strictly
enforced in the colony 1t prohibits the en-
poyment of boys under Is and girls under
Il. and disqualifes both under Is unless
certificate as TO fitness is obtained.
Rain has fallen pretty generally all over
the colony. In Otago it has been exception
ally heavy, and it is feared the crops have
suffered.
At the inquest on the body of Harry
Crawford, who was killed in a brawl at
Wellington, the medical evidence showed
that death was due to an affection of the
heart. Raines, who was arrested in cOnnec-
ton with the affair, will therefore be dis
charged from custody.
In most churches, without distinction OF
creed, the death of Cardinal Manning was
referred to and his loss deplored as that of
great Englishman.
A large number of disastrous fires have
occurred lately in the colony, among them
being the Anglican Church at Ardmore
which was built in 1857 under the personal
supervision of Bishop Selwyn.

DAILY VISITORS.
Scores Seeking Information Con-
corning the Fair.

On the fourth floor Of the Flood Building
a well-defned path has been worn from the
elevator to the rooms Of the California
Worlds Fair Commission, aud the impress
sons left by the boots OF the visitors grow
daily broader md deeper.
At certain hours people march along the
passage in a steady stream. The number
varies from thirty to a hundred, and hardly
a day passes when they cannot be counted
by the score.
Almost all Of these visitors are In search
of information regarding the Worlds Fair
work, the most practical way to organize
districts. ECW TO obtain the best exhibits or
the manner 10 secure the desired space for
their proper display at the exposition. Some
are sent by their county associations upon
official business, and there Is a constant de-
mand from this class for " ord Fair liter
ature. They are supplied fT8m the circulars
and pamphlets received bY the commission
from Chicago Tor dlstu DutlOn throughout
the State, and are given copies OF the OIL
fetal organ Of the board.
1t has not infrequently happened, when
there have been local disputes in some
country organization that two or three dele
cations, representing as many different fac
tons, have come with their difficulties to
the officers Of the commission for advice
aud adjudication. The latter have always
attempted llb IDlo u ptdtCu4sAhctSs anu

harmony among the dissidentS.
The commissions visitors come from all
narts OF the State. Owing TO the fact that
in the southern counties there are frequent
citrus fairs the residents of these districts
seem generally to show special adaptablity
for Worlds Fair work, knowing the best
class of products 10 exhibit and where they
are 10 be procured. The northern people
are not lacking ia interest, however, and 1t
seems a part of the regular routine for
every one living in the interior when in
San Francisco to call upon the representa-
tives Of the commission. 4 general sentI-
ment in favor Of a cr2dtable state exhibit
at the exposition is being manifested, and
ia many counties this has been developed
into genuine enthusiasm.
