THE ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.

The foreign population of Hawaii is
composed of Americans, English, French
Germans and Japanese. The Americans
predominant in numbers, and their finan-
cial interests in the island far exceed
those of any Of the others. The trade
of the island is almost wholly with the
United States, and we take very large
per cent. of its products, of which sugar
is the chief. The native population has
been gradually dying out for many years
past, and though it still outnumbers the
foreign, it is feeble, and the government
of the island for year past has been
practically in the hands of foreigners. A
native queen has been the nominal SOW
ereign, but her cabinet, composed of for
eigners. has administered the affairs of
pears to have been the result of an at
tempt on the part of the Queen to be
sovereign in fact as well as in name, and
to ignore her official advisers There is
little room for doubt that her bracing up
was brought about by British influence
and was designed to produce condition
of things which would give the British
government an excuse for setting up
protectorate over the island, upon which
it has looked with longing eyes for many
years past, desiring it for naval and
coaling station. The movement seems,
however, to have been ill-timed, for it
happened that when the revolution oc-
Cured the only man-of-war on hand was
the American cruiser Boston, which
promptly landed her men to protect
American interests. The provisional
government which has been established
is in close sympathy with the United
States, and for the time being English
intrigue appears to have come to
naught. This fortunate condition of
things seems to be largely due to the
prompt and energetic action of our
minister, the Hon. John L. Stevens,
of Augusta who long ago saw whittier
affairs in the island were drifting and SO
was prepared when the crisis came to
furnish prompt protection to American
interests. In affairs of this kind it has
generally been the case that the English
were the first to assert themselves, but,
in this case, tn nks to Mr.. Stevens,
American influence has been predomi
nant, and that too without the commits

About tom" Reed.
9 Boston Journal says:

The Boston Journal says:
The very papers which criticised most
bitterly Speaker Reeds rules for expe-
diting business are now railing at the
present Congress because the absense of
similar rules puts the legislative machin-
cry at the mercy of any small squad OF
filibusters.
The same paper also says:
1t was just about two years ago that
young Congressman-el elect Crosby OF this
state announced that he was goi g to
Washington to s'sock it to Tom Reed. y
Mr.. Crosby has but four or five weeks
more to serve and yet Mr.. Reed is still
alive-is remarkably well, in fact-and is
probably totally unaware of Mr.. Crosby S
existence. 1t is singular how some vii
lage Titans shrivel as soon as they strike
the national capital.

Mr.. Oates is going to attempt the pas
sage of the bankruptcy bill next Monday
under suspension of the rules. Mr..
Oates is probably indulging forlorn
hope. Mr.. Buck Kilgore doubtless
killed that bill for the session when
single handed and alone he drove the
whole House away from it by his fiiibus-
tering motions.

Orville Wilson. resident of Water
vile, was present at the bombardment
of Alexandria in 'S2, then serving as a
marine on board H. M. S. Invincible.
After the bombardment he was in and
about the city for five months. Mr.. Will
son went to sea when a boy, and though
an American, sailed for number OF
years on a steamer hailing from Hull,
England. He finally enlisted in the
royal marine service, and was sent to
Egypt. He was in number of engage
ments with the Arabs, and was present
at the attic Of Tel ell Kebir, just before
Cairo was taken. Being severely. wound
ed in the knee, he was in the hospital
for two months. His experiences while
in the service about Alexandria were of
most interesting and exciting rider.

said one of the prominent Maine opera

they will be unable to compete with it
and some Of them will have to go out of
business, SO it may prove blessing in
disguise"

cashier is apparently not so well as when
he entered the state prison, 16 months
ago. He is not able to work. 1t seems
as if the bronchial disease of which he is
the victim, is slowly undermining his
strength. "Ha may live to the end Of
his term of imprisonment, or longer
said the doctor, ''but should doubt if
he lived SIX months. He has written out
statement to be published after his
death, should death come unexpectedly.
1t is understood that the statement con-

what he did, he did that he might save
