THE ANNEXATION OF THE HA.
wAIIAN ISLANDS.

On the 10Th OF last month some twenty
one members of the Liberal party in the
Hawaiian islands were arrested on the
charge of treason by the government mar
shal. one Wilson, who is the son of an
English sea captain by Tahitian mother.
Wilson was originally blacksmith, but.
being stalwart, handsome fellow, at
tracted the notice OF the queen. whose no.
torious ''favorite." that is. paramour, he
has been for several years. The influence
of this Wilson, who is contemptuously
called by the natives King Bolahola "
that is. King Bull, over the queen is ex-
traoriinary and is deeply resented by her
subjects. Wilson is 10 the queen what
Prince Potemkin WAS 10 Catharine of Rus
STA: what Boutwell, was to Mary Stu
art. and the scandal of his asso-
Citations with the queen have
done much toward increasing the senti.
ment in favor of annexation TO the United
States. The queen viii ultimately be
obliged 10 dismiss Wilson or be forced TO
sbdicate. The ''conspirstors" arrested bv
Wilson include Wilcox, the leader of the
LAST revolution. and Colonel Ashford, VINO
forced King Kalakua 10 agree to new
constitution.
Concerning this tempest in the political
teapot of Hawaii the Honolulu corre-
spondent Of the San Francisco E1rminer
writes that there IS nothing in the charge
20 he brought against the arrested men
other than that they may have aspi-ed
and declared for republic or annexation

sentiments among the natiyes-an3 these
have been open questions freely discussed
for some months. No jury will ever con-

THE SKYKOMISH FRESHET.
Bears on tho Driftwood-Heavy Rains
Good for the ProspectOrs.


Galena Miner, June s.
Jack Breckenridge and Barney Parrot, who
have been camped at the mouth of Salmon
creek for q week waiting for a chance to cross
the river, report having seen four bears floating
down the river on driftwood. They say there
were two brown bears, one silver tip and the
other q common black bear. They all appeared
to be very much frightened with the exception
OF the silver tip'who seemed to be enjoying the
occasion immensely, sitting astride of the log.
As he passed the boys he waved his paw grace
fully at them and foated on down the river
using his tail as rudder to steer the log
through the rapids
The heavy rains and melting SHOWS of last
week caused a freshet in the Skykomish river
and its tributaries. The bridge across the
Wallace river was damaged to such an extent as
to suspend travel for several days. The bridges
at Foss river and Martin creek were also carried
away but have already been replaced. Con-
siderable of the Great Northern puncheon road
was also damaged by the high water.
The heavy rains have had one good effect in
that they have melted the snow faster than
weeks of sunshine. So soon as the water goes
down little prospectors can begin to move
around some but they must still expect to find
considerable snow in the deep gulches near the
mountain tops.

JUNE.

When June unbinds her rosy zone
And fills the woods with rapture,
The poet knows his heart is gone
And glories in the capture!
The dumb world watches as she goes,
Her beauty sets IL crazy
Now paEsiug here to pick rose,
And there 10 drop daisy!
Her eyes are deep as heavens blue.
Now lauguishing. now laughing
Now whispering: oh, be true, be true
And now divinely chatting!
The dimpie i'll her milk-white chin,
So sne but smile, discovers
A pit they all might tumble in
And be done for-her loversl
The amorous branches, overbold,
Catch at her as she passes,
Her tender footstep thrills the void
And stirs the springing grasses;
The birds, with softly quivering wings,
Fly down on either shoulder;
No man may tear the song she sings,
No impious eye behold her!
But by the laughter OF the brook,
The fragrance of the blossom,
We think we know the way she took
And how she leaped across EN-:
We hear her trailing robe-so sweet
Its scent on hill and hollow.
We long to see her flying feet
And cannot choose but follow!

RHoDODENDRoN OR CLOVER.
A Letter From Mrs. Houghton Explain
ing Her Non-Partisan Attitude.

SPOKANE, June IL, 1892
To THE EDITOR: May l trespass upon your
space to correct some erroneous impressions
created by the Farhaven Herald and by COM
munication to your paper from Mrs. Ella Hg-
ginson, of New Whatcom, dated June 6, IN
relation to my action in the selection Of q state
flower Mrs. Higginson charges that am work
Ing hard against the clover and for the rhodo-
dcndron. This statement Is neither true nor
generous. She also states by inference that am
selecting the flower. This is also an error. II
has been decided by the ladies of the board that
tbs selection of the state flower be determined
by votes OF the ladies of the state; and
this fact has been thoroughly advertised. My
only duty or ONCE in the matter is to count the
votes and declare the result. At the date OF my
letter to Mrs. Higgnson, which subjon, and
which fully states my position, there had beenfor-
warded to me about 900 votes favoring the rho
dodendron, 272 for the clover, hops 15 syringa s,
pansy 7, and some scattering. l have never ex-
pressed preference except for the syringa, and
this was found to have been chosen by Idaho;
but under the adopted rule that majorities gov
ern. see no way to avoid the adoption of the
rhododendron, except by change IN the
vote. 1t certainly cannot be done by misrepre-
sentation in newspapers. I beg to suggest to
those ladies who have their choice to send in
their preference expressing it, as the flower re-
ceiving the largest vote will be chosen. Very
respectfully, ALICE HoUGHToN.

SPOKANE. May 20, 1892.
My Dear Mrs. Higginson: Your very charming
letter just receiver and hasten to answer 1t.
am always pleased to hear from you.
In regard to the selection Of the state flower, IL
is a matter which is exciting considerable in-
terest. You know it was decided by the ladies Of
our board to ask a choice Of flower and sigma
lures ;, throughopt the state, and permit major
way in which il could be settled. Up TO
this time the rhododendron is long
way in the Lead possibly for the reason that
Port Townsend sent me CSC names,
Seattle has sent q long list. Tacoma has
not yet sent in theirs, but | Ger
every part of the state. have inserted again
and again in the newspapers Q request that the
ladies OF our state suggest flower, and there
has never been more than three or four
replies in each instance. l think with you,
that the clover is a flower that is in.
digenous to our state. and it represents
would mass effectively in our jardiniers. Do you
think this would? The rhododendron is q little
stiff for decorative purposes, but it bios
could be shown in its natural condition.
This is the merit which is claimed for
it largely. I believe. have no choice.
ask the people to make the choice, and de-
eide by numbers.
Hoping that may be with you soon, and ask
Ing You q favor to write me occasionally with
out always expecting an answer, as am an K
ceedingly busy woman, I am, most sincerely
ana cordially yours, ALICE HoUGH ron.
UNION CITY, June Is, 1892
To THE EDITOR: Mason county, as far as heard
from, sends its vote for the rhododeudron for
the state flower. Think of some person from
this state being at the Chicago exposition next
year wearing clover blossom and meeting

conversation:

that old flower?
Washington That is our state flower.
Stranger-YOur state howerl What 6fateT

Washiugton-The state of Washington.
Stranger-We l, now, you folks must be poor
off for flowers if you have to adopt one which
makes US think you came from Canada.

Washngton-No: the state of Washington.
Stranger-You don't say. did not know that
such flowers could grow wild 90 far north.
Washing.on-Why, that flower grows on our
poorest grayeliy soil.
Stranger-I can hardly believe you but II you

your state for il your poorest soil produces such
a flower. can hardly imagine what your best
soil produces. MYRoN EELLS.

Regarded as momentary ebul-
lition of anger, the questions pro-
pounded in the House yesterday
might be ignored; although ar
ranged with the Cabinet, the course
of this latter body is not formally
concluded by them. 1t is not
known what action has been taken
by the Cabinet in the premises, but
it is not likely that anything has
been done half so fierce as the in
terrogatories sounded. Hawaii is
not going to rebuke the United
States at the bidding of any Cabi-
net. The people have too much
sense and too much humor to en-
courage such a farcical perform
ance. One hopes simply that these
belligerent queries do not represent
the attitude of the party of three,
headed by Noble Macfarlane,
which happens to control the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. If
they do, that gentleman has an OPP
portunity to do more mischief than
he can ever afterwards hope to re-
pair. The United States is and
always has been Hawaii's chief
benefactor, protector and friend.
We are largely dependent for
our commercial prosperity up
on her, and the measure of
prosperity which Hawaii has
hitherto enjoyed-and it has been
a large One-has been due to her
generosity. Honor would dictate,
therefore, if prudence did not, a
decent degree of gratitude and con-
slderatlon as an acknowledgment
OF benefits received. Those who
can hear the warning of prudence
though deaf to higher voices, should
be reminded that in seeking to
shape a prosperous future we can
never ignore the United States, of
whose commercial system we are
virtually part, and without whose
assistance our prosperity will be a
dream.

FRIDAY
JUNE 3, 1892.
AN UNFORTUNATE EPISODE.

The House was the scene of an
unfortunate episode yesterday
which will be regretted probably in
their cooler moments by those who
participated in it as much as by any
one. A full account of it will be
found in our legislative report,
where Noble Macfarlane's desire to
"rebuke" the great American Re-
public in the person of its Minister
will be found set forth at large.
1t will perhaps be remembered
that Minister Stevens excellent
and eloquent remarks on Decora-
ton Day contained a passage,
which, while both true and appro-
pirate to the subject in hand, might
be construed to contain an implied
criticism on some of the acts of the
present administration. AS a mat
ter of fact there were citizens who
stood and heard every word of the
Minister'S address, to whom it
never occurred to make any appli-
cation Of them to Hawaiian affairs.
In view of the fact that any such
reference is matter of pure infer
ence, on which opinions may and
do differ, common sense, common
courtesy and common prudence all
suggest that the episode should
have been entirely ignored. We
cannot regard the course prear-
ranged between the Cabinet and
Noble Macfarlane as other than
touse no harsher term-exceedingly
i'll advised.
