SANTA CLAUS CHARITIES.
Relieving the Poor With the Funds of
s.The Star" Club.

The
The Evening Star Santa Claus Club is
making its presence felt among the poor
people Of this city today. All day long the
representatives of the club have been max
irg the rounds of the city distributing the
supplies which have been purchased with
the money contributed by the youthful
members Of the club. Many an unfortunate
person has been gladdened by the timely
relief thus afforded. Many a pinched and
shivering little child has been warmed and
comforted by a new pair of shoes or some
other article of clothing furnished from the
fund collected by the club.
Instead of furnishing toys and Christmas
things to the little children of the poor IL
was deemed best, in view of the widespread
poverty and restitution. more noticeable
this year than before. 10 provide only the
necessary things of life and to give the
children useful articles.
1t was also determined that as the fund
was raised by children, the benehciaries
should be children families containing
children, as far as practicable.
With this understanding before them, the
people who are charged with the distribu-
ton of the fund concluded to expend a large
proportion Of the money in shoes. The
school teachers testified that good shoes are
greatly lacked among the poor children. and
that in many cases the little ones were kept
home from school because they had moth
were made with a number of dealers to
furnish good shoes at a fixed price, and to
give to each person presenting a ticket
one pair of shoes. The tickets were pre-
pared, and then the work of getting the
tickets to the proper persons began. In
some cases coal, clothing and provisions
were furnished to worthy persons.
The pupils Of the public schools who rails
ed the fund also furnished the names of de-
serving poor people and their addresses, SC
that there would not be any difficulty In
finding beneficiares for the money when IL
should become available for use. 1t was
expected that the names procured would be
of persons who would appreciate the gifts,
and find them timely and welcome.
Many letters were received at The Star
office from poor people, and the addresses
thus furnished were turned over to the COM
mittee having charge of the distribution and
an effort will be made to see that those peo-
pie hear from Santa Claus, too.

THE DESTINY OF HAWAII.

a despatch from Washington dated
July 9th says: \ special message on
Hawaiian matters will be sent to con-
gress in September. / have absolutely
reliable authority for this statement.
From the same source | learn that
Minister Blount's final report is due
here by the time President Cleveland
returns, and that the whole Hawaiian
subject will be discussed at n cabinet
meeting during the coming month,
with view to the preparations of a
treaty for transmission TO congress
together with Mr.. Blount's report.
1t is also understood that Mr.. Blount's
successor will be one of the first ap-
pOintments made after the return of
President Cleveland. This will be
done not only to please Mr.. Blount,
but with view to having him avail
able to appear before the foreign
affairs committees when those bodies
are ready to consider the Hawaiian
question.
What the presidents recommends
lions will be are still unknown as to
detail, and one thing is certain, he
will not favor annexation, and from
the tenor of Minister Blount's reports
already read at the state department
there is not the slightest supposition
he will recommend annexation. All
the hints thus far dropped by the state
department officers point to a treaty
contemplating the moral support of
the United States to an extent which
will prevent interference from other
foreign powers, but at the same time
will not make this country RESPONSE
bic for the internal affairs of the isl
ands. In other words the administra-
ton believes the islands are capable
OF home government, if not molested
by outside powers, and is willing to
prevent such molestation in consider
alton of certain favored rights in the
way OF military privileges which will
be expected from Hawaii.
Concerning the reports from San
Francisco to the effect that when the
naval forces at Honolulu are augment
ed, LiliuOkalani will be restored to
the throne, with the assistance of
United States troops, / can state with
that no such course will be
from the state department. !
The belief is that the queen was de- |
thrOned by the cooperation of the |
United States representatives then in
and that they made a grave
error in so doing, but the fact remains |
that we have recognized the Pro-
visional government, and having done |
SO it would be as unbecoming for the /
administration to be instrumental in |
the overthrow of the present govern
ment as it would be for the Harrison |
administration to bring it into power.
