The contention of the Greens has been
that John Owls Waterman, former news

write when she was married to Terwil-
Tiger, but that her husband afterward

Some of her signatures taken from an old

Escape.

There is young woman, hardly 16years
of age. who is giving the police and other
persons directly interested in her where
abouts considerable trouble. Her name is
Annie Freese, and for time she was an
inmate of the Boys and Girls Aid So
ciety. Upon the recommendation of Super
inteDdent Smiley OF that institution she
was employed by F. B. Childs, who is an
Inspector of Customs. and who lives at
421 Lyon street. Mrs. Childs had great
con fidence in Annie, and intrusted to her
care the little tot whose absence on Thurs
day night caused its parents more excite

This young girl left the home of Mrs.

Alexander. Minister BlOunt stated him
self that he came to the islands 10 collect

But may not his collection OF 1acts anu

minister Blount. though sometimes
termed the Sphinx. has acted with perfect
fairness and as he thought right. What
ever his opinions may be regarding the

Upon being seen at his brothers resi-

skinned. in a desultory but nevertheless
interesting way over the broad field OF
Hawaiian politics.
TOO much has been made of the
Spreckels imbroglio. but to some extent
his visit to the islands was disadvanta-
geous. The natives were gradually COM

Spreckels arrived at the islands. lie Is
credited with having spread abroad the re-
port that lie would replace the Queen on
The throne if it cost him 100000. he had
500 600, 600 behind him. and the Provis-
ionai Government would certainly be over
thrown.
Now" continued Professor Alexander,
"it IS easy To be understood how talk such
as | have quoted was calculated to unsettle
the volatile minds of the unthinking ma
tives. | have heard it said that Mr..
Spreckeis is going to Washington within
the week to kill annexation. ter the fail
ure TO do so means an end to the sugar
industry through the cessation of the
CODY traffic. A least he says So"
''The objection anent the difficulty OF
working the plantations seems valid one,
how does the Government propose 10 ge,
The cody traffic has ALWAYS been a
blot on the island system. and the Govern.
ment believes that IL can be stopped, not
only without loss to the islands, but with
very decided benefit. In 1884 Mr.. Dole had
passed the first homestead law. and he is
now busy in perfectng law which will
attract small farmers to take up the vacant
lands. There are 100000 acres of crown
lands-sOme under lease, it is true-and on
these we want to see small farms, not im-
mense plantations located.
I'VE don't want to be dependent on
sugar. Coffee. vanilla - both valuable
crop-and many other things can be
grown at an immense profit and with
the labor that is now in the islands. We
want country for white men to live hap

Despite the vast amount that has been
written about the islands since the Royal

probable that comparatively few people

the contrary, it will only require about one
more exhibition of work such as he per-

around for some one else to take his job.
Then the loss OF the game cannot be at
