south Of Halifax. The value of these
islands as strategic position could
only be demonstrated in case of war
The United States has already nom
inally acquired naval station in the
Hawaiian Islands. There is some
question as to whether the best point
has been selected. 1t could not be
made available without blasting away
reefs and the expenditure of consider.
able money. Recently it has been
stated that far better place can be
found in the vicinity of Honolulu.
There can be no valid objection
just now to the very highest appraise-
ment of strategic value that the
Canadian press can give to the Ha-
waiian Islands. Perhaps the value
is not overstated. If these islands
from that point of view would be
worth so much to England, they
could not be worth less to the United
States.
There is hardly doubt that if the
islands were to come under the
British flag the Notifications at Es-
quimalt would be duplicated. When
the Canadian press inquiries what is
necessary for British supremacy OF
the Northern Pacific, the ready an
swer, of course, is the possession OF
the Hawaiian Islands. One key OF
that situation, on the mainland, is
Esquimalt; the second key would be
Hawaii. The probability is that
Great Britain will never be allowed
to extend its dominion over the Ha
waiian Islands. Even Democratic
administration would hardly permit
that. But the easiest, cheapest anC
quickest way to set the matter at resi-
is for the United States to accept
the offer of the control of Hawaii
That would end British schemins
once for all.-CaH.

sugar planter, arrived here tonight
from England on his way to Homo

He advocates submitting the whole
question to a vote electorate and says
he has no doubt that if the people on
the island had chance to express
their will they would vote for an in
dependent monarchical Government
He issued long address to the
Hawaiian people appealing to them
to continue the fight for independ-

rayed against them.

A CALL FOR BIDS.
The Miowera Agents Want the Ship
Saved BY Contract.

During the past twenty four hours

the position or condition of the Mo

the breakers, apparently a fixture at
the harbor's mouth. The stranded
steamer has six large anchors to wind.
ward, and to all appearances they are
answering the purpose for which they
were placed, or else the ship is drawing
so little water that the rollers no longer
have power to drive her inshore.
This morning the agents advertised
for bids for the vessels removal, and it
is probable that by next Tuesday at the
latest the wreck will be in the hands OF
some of the local contractors.
1t is now supposed that the vessels
bottom is jammed, if not torn open,
and the places SO TANNED in are resting
on points of rock, and that, should
such be the case, hardly any amount OF
steady pulling would have any effect
whatevez
When the Australia came in this
morning, w. G. Irwin of the firm of
local agents went aboard Immediately,
and a long conference with Captain
Houdette followed 1t was decided
that the Australia would not go to the
relief of the Miowera oday, but the
probabilities are that to-morrow's food
tide will find the Australia's cables
aboard the wreck.
AS the STAR goes to press it is
learned that proposition has been
made by the Miowera's agents to the
agents of the Australia to charter the
latter vessel to leave here this trip
ahead of time, Nothing has been de-
cided, however, and the parties are
still considering the offer.

ATTITUDE OF KAIULANI.
Her Guardian Speaks Disparagingly Of
the Provisional Government

New YORK, Sept. 27.-Theopholus
H. Davies, guardian of Princess Kaiu-
lani and well known as an opponent of
the Hawaiian annexationists, is guest
at the Brevoort House. He said :
"Before l left England the Princess
said to me: 1T is not necessary that our
family should rule in Hawaii, but it is
necessary that Hawaiians should be led
by one of their own chiefs.
"The princess is not DESTROYS of
having tine Queen set aside in her favor,
but would consent to such plan if 1t
was the will of the Hawaiians. Neither
the Queen nor the Princess has received
a penny from the Provisional Govern
ment and they have been entirely de-
pendant upon their private income since
the Queen was deposed." Davies con
tended that if the question of annexa-
ton were put to popular vote OF the
Hawaiians it would be Overwhelmingly
defeated.

AMERICAN PRESS COMMENT.

The Montreal Star has an editor
ia article which opposes the annex
alton of the Hawaiian Islands by the
United States. The Star says:
"With Hawaii a dependent of the
British we can Join with Australia in
winning the fight for the control of
the Pacific, but with our connection
broken at the middle the fight for
place in the commerce of the orient
will be made immeasurably difficult"
The United States has not yet
made up its mind as to whether it
will annex Hawaii or not, but there
is no difference of opinion on the
question of British supremacy in
Hawaii, whether by annexation or
through the medium of protectorate.
Hawaii may be, as the Star calls 1t,
the Malta of the greatest of the
oceans, but it is not Malta which
will become British halfway station
and naval and military depot, as is
Malta in the Mediterranean.
The Star seems to have in mind
some plan of confederation, either
colonial or imperial, under which
Canada or Australia should unite
their efforts to secure commercial
supremacy of the Pacific. Up to the
present time there has been nothing
in common between Canada and Aus
tralia, nor has either shown any dis
position to secure the control of the
commerce of the Pacific. They have
been content to leave commerce tC
the mother country and to busy them
selves with their domestic affairs. Il
may be that they have grown ambi
tuous and want to branch out fol
themselves, but if they try it they
will incur the enmity of Great Britain
which thinks it has and should retair
a monopoly of the commerce of the
world,
AT all events, whatever may be the
purpose, neither Canada nor England
can have Hawaii If there is to be a
change of sovereignty the allegiance
of the Hawaiian People can be trans
ferred to but one country, and that il
the United States. England is nea
enough as it is, and we cannot allow
another Malta to be created within
six nor seven days easy steamins

A Big Indian In the House.

Indian was in full war paint, with feath.

ried in his hand a red feather duster.
After looking around the house, the In.
dian was conducted to the Speakers desk
and placed in the chair, amid tremendous
applause from ahe members on the floor.
The pages were simply delighted, and
gathered around and gazed, with open
mouths, at the chief. When the Speak

thought it was pipe of peace, and tried
to smoke it, but finally, when shown his
mietake, he raped with it so hard that
Jerry Simpson remarked: "Wby that's

After sitting some time in the speak

was taken down on che floor to Bourke
Cockran's seat. When he sat down there
was general round of applause as some
one remarked: "There is Tammany
brave in Cocksan's seat" The Indian
did not seem to mind the crowd gazing at
him, but calmly sat and famed himself
with his feather duster. The pages got
in line and filed past him and he shook
hands after the regulation dude fashion,
holding his hand and elbow high. When

his trousers with open claws. About the
room were pieces cf wood and paper,
which had evidently come from behind
the stove, where Mrs. O'Neill had left
them to light the morning fire.
Hugh's suspicious were aroused and
then he noticed smell of burning wood.
Almost at the same time he saw smoke
issuing from between the cracks of the
fire boards at the rear Of the stove He
aroused the inmates, and as his father
tore the boards loose out burst the flames

Afler the flames had been subdued the
cat Jumped on the open window and then

The fragments of paper and kindIing
