SPRECKELS OPPOSED TO STEALING.

The Sugar King Tells why He Opposed
Hawaiian Annexation Doesn't Care a
Straw whether the Islands Are An
nexed or Not.
NEW YORK, Oct 23.-Clsus Spreckels,
the sugar king, who has large interests
in Hawaii, has been in town several
days. His Ison, John D. Spreckels, is
also here Since they left San Francisco
they ihave seen the Worlds Fair and
spent week in Washington, and will
probably remain in the East month
longer. Mr.. Spreekels spoke freely to a
reporter about sugar interests and
Hawaiian affairs.
Il am opposed to stealing" he said,
''and do not believe that might makes
right The United States seized the
Sandwich Islands without any right tc
do so, and assumed charge of the affairs
there. It is not because l have sugar
industries there that l say this policy
was unjustifable. 1t was too much like
grabbing, and contrary, therefore, to the
spirit of fair play.
sIf this government anticipated that
England or Japan was after Hawaii 1
mistake was made. ! am sure th'
English Government did not. and does
not, seek to establish control over thu
group. One of the underlying causes Of
the assumption of authority by thii
country was, think, the fact that SOM
of the sugar planters on the islands wer'
and are in favor of annexation, becaus
they are after the two cent bounty. Tha
is about all there was TO it. So far rs
am concerned l do not care straw
whether the islands are annexed or not.
