Natives oppose Annexation.

New YORK. April 17.-In dispatch
from Honolulu dated April to The
Herald Charles Nordhoff says:
saw at San Francisco and on the
ship coming here number of old and
new OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES provisional
government men and annexationists-
others favorable to the Inainte-
nance of the old system. All
of both parties frankly acknowledged
that the natives, 10000 in number and
all of proper age, able to read and write
and brought up under American mis-
sionary training, with view to few ex-
pectations, are strongly opposed to an
nexation,
wish to emphasize this fact-con-
fessed by all the annexationists 1 have
seen-that the natives are solidly op-
posed to annexation. There are against
these 10000 natives, 1923 Americans,
men, women and children. most, though
by no means all of whom want and cry
for annexation. The leaders of these
are heads of the fading provisional gov
eminent.

AMERICAN CORN
To Be Exhibited and Explained
Throughout Europe
In Hopes of Creating a Demand
For Its Products.

Secretary Morton Interested, and Invites
the Cooperation of the nIanufacturers
of Corn Products In Each State-An Ef.
fort VIII Also BE Made to Find n For
eign Market For Our Tobacco.
WASHINGTON, April Secretary
Morton has determined to energize the
corn propaganda in Europe. He invites
the cooperation in this work of all
manufacturers of corn products, from
whom he desires, as preliminary step,
to obtain a full statement of the various
kinds of products made from corn by
the manufacturers in each state, with a
brief statement as to the characteristics
and excellence. Senator Mates of Ne
braska, having accepted the appoint
ment profered to him by the secretary,
viii shortly be in Washington for con-
ference as to carrying ON the work
abroad. Secretary Morton proposes to
avail himself of the general character
of the appropriation under which this
work is conducted, which covers in
vestigations into the demands of foreign
markets for agricultural products of
the United States to broaden the scope
of Mr.. Mates work. Mr.. Mates will
be instructed to investigate the tobacco
laws IN force in European countries,
view Of ascertaining just how far the
control by European governments of
this important industry affects the
American tobacco growers by imposing
restrictions upon the tobacco export
trade with such countries, and to ascer-
tain whether it it not possible to secure
a freer market for the sale of American
tobacco in foreign countries. Mr..
Mates will also investigate the subject
of the sale of American meat products
in Germany and France, to ascertain
whether this trade is not seriously i'm
peded, in spite of the withdrawal of re-
strictions on our inspected meat prod
ucts by those countries by local or
municipal regulations.

Much has been written about the
impropriety of Secretary Carlisle's
preparing an outline of a tariff bill,
for submission to the Ways and
Means committee of the next House.
1t strikes us as a perfectly proper
step. Secretary Carlisle is not only
at the head of the department that
will administer the new tariff law
but he has been for years leader
in the battle for tariff reform.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.-THE steam
er China has arrived with latest Ha-
waiian advices. The Alameda reached
Honolulu just before the China left. On
board the Alameda were Paul Neuman
and Prince David, the ex-queen's ENJOYS
to Washington; Commissioners William
r. Castle. Harold William Sewall, form
erly United States consul at Samoa, and
L. G. McFarlane. The queens ENJOYS
were met by delegation and driven
home in the royal carriage.
1t is said that Sewall bears important
dispatches to Blount, or to the provis-
ional government. 1t is also rumored
that Sewal came to succeed Minister
Stevens as consul. Sewall was noncom-
initial. Commissioner Castle said a re-
action had certainly taken place in the
United States against annexation. He
did not think q rejection of the treaty
argued that Cleveland was hostile to
annexation.
1t is evident that the Americans are
greatly disturbed over the attitude of
the queens followers. One thing is
sure, the queen is morally certain she
will return to the Iolani palace.
Mr.. Blount is reported to have said:
my program is only half finished -
Others say the commissioner definitely
promised TO undo the work of Minister
'obeN:AS coInpiStely' anu restore Ine olu
condition of things. If this report is
true and circumstances bear it out
strongly-the Hawaiian Islands will be-
COME the Inferno of the Pacific in more
than volcanic sense.
President Dole and other Conservative
men declare that this restoration story
is'simply device of the royalist leaders
to keep the natives from joining the an
neEation clubs.
The japanese residents have sent a
petition to their home government
signed by japanese residents asking
their government to annex Hawaii.

The Democrats carried Rhode
Island at the late election; and elect
ed both of its members to Congress.
Owing to the iniquities in the town
ship representation the Republicans
will probably control the legisla-
ture. The result, however, at least
shows that the tidal wave of last
November has not yet began to
recede, but it is still even in Rock
ribbed Republican centres, rising
still higher in the direction of Tar
if Reform and economic govern
ment.

1t seems strange that the Board
of Directors of the Weston Insane
Asylum, after the resignation of
DIR. Lewis, should go to Ohio to get
a Superintendent in the person Of
DR. W. P. Crumbacker. The action
of the Board of Directors is an out
rage and an insult to the hundreds
of able physicians in West Virginia,
any of whom would have made an
excellent Superintendent of this
Institution. We hope that the
Board of Directors of the Spencer
Insane Asylum will have more re.
spect for the intelligence and ability
of the States physicians than to go
outside of the State for a Superin-
tendent. We would rather have
seen a Republican appointed as
Superintendent of the Weston Asy-
lum, than to have had a physician
placed at it's head from another
State, although he was a Democrat.
Our State pride rcvolts at the idea
of such a thing; and it is humilia
ting to have a Board of Directors
to perpetuate such an outrage upon
the people of the State. This off
cial act of Gov. MacCorkle and his
Board of Directors, should receive
the severest condemnation of the
people, and also of every newspa-
per in the State.

Hon. Joseph S. Miller, of this
State, was appointed by the Presi-
dent Saturday, to be Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, and mis- name
sent to the Senate and confirmed
without the formality of reference
to a committee. Mr.. Miller held
this same position under Mr.. Cleve-
land during his first administration
and his re-appointment is compli-
ment and high honor conferred
upon this distinguished West Vir-
ginian. No appointment to this Of
fee could have been made by the
President, that would have given
such general satisfaction as the
selection of Mr.. Miller. He seems
to have been the choice, not only of
this State, but of every State in the
Union for this position. His
splendid work and superior capacity
while administering this Office be-
fore, is what influenced the Presi-
dent in foregoing his order, and
making an exception in his case,
not to re-appoint any one to the
same Office he had held under his
former administration, all of which
is to Mr.. Miller's credit.

Avery Sad Double Drowning.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, April IA
One of the saddest accidents that
ever happend in Charleston was the
drowning last night of Mr.. Alex.
w. Quarter and Miss Ella Young.
Mr.. Quarter was the oldest son
of the late VIM. a. Quarter, who
was well known all over the State,
and has been, for a year or more, a
clerk in the Office of the Secretary
of State. Miss Young has been
visiting here for several months, her
home being in Lexington, Missouri.
About 8 o'clock last night the two
went out on the Kanawha river for
aride in Mr.. Quarters canvas canoe,
and have not been seen since. 1t
was thought at first that darkness
overlook them away from home,
but when they did not return this
morning an alarm was given.
Searching parties have thorough
ly gone over fifteen miles of the
river, but the only trace yet found
is a portion of the paddle they used
The Waterman of the bridge last
night heard cries for help on the
river just after a steamboat had
passed, and it is the prevailing opln-
ion that they were run down by the
boat.
Dragging for their bodies has SO
far been in vain. How and where
they met their death will never be
known, but that they were drowned
is beyond question. Mr.. Quarter
was an expert swimmer, but was
probably drowned in his efforts to
save the young lady. The whole
town is sorrowing over the sad and
untimely death of these young peo-
pie. Mr.. Quarter was preparing
himself for the Episcopal ministry.
