ANNEXATION OR EsTRANeBMENT

A Political Crisis In the History of the

Only for Good or Ill BY the United

ate.
CHICAGO, FEB. 4-Colonel volney c.
Ashford. ex commander Of the Hawaiian
forces, is in this city He is of the
opinion that the United States must
either annex the Sand wich Islands or let
them alone protectorate. he declares,
will be so distasteful to the Hawailans
that they would in all probability prefer
an independent republic or even return
TO the government Of the deposed Queen.
1T is either annexation OF nothing.
he declared 1T almost sets ME wild, ."
he said last night, ''to see the United
States take this thing so calmly. If she
does not annex the Sandwich Islands
now, and she must annex them or let
them alone, she will never get them until
they come to her as the result of wal
with the power which may secure
them.
Il have seen it strongly questioned, F"
he said, whether the gentlemen who
are representing the provisional govern
ment at Washington represent the peo
pie that is a majority of the people, and
can most emphstically say that they
do. IL has been reported that the
British inhabitants of the Sandwich Is
lands are more numerous than the Amer
leans, and that therefore British inhu
ence is above par there. That is very
great mistake. The Americans are most
numerous and the desire for Britioh rule
or for annexation to the British empire
amounts comparatively to nothing Even
the British residents of the islands real
ize that the commercial prosperity OF
the islands lies in annexation to the
United States.
''Mr. Marsden, one Of the gentlemen
now representing the provisional
government at Washington, is a British
subject He aud l have often argued
the question of annexation, he against
and for it. He realizes now that un
less the islands are annexed to this
country, that their prosperity is gone

The Lively Eel.

Young eels, in passing up river,
show the most extraordinary persevcr-
ance in overcoming all distractions.
The large foodgates-so sometimes If
teen feet in height-on the Thames
might be supposed sufficient to bar
the progress of fish the size of q
darning needle. But young eels have
a wholesome idea that nothing can
stop them; and, in consequence, moth
ing does. Speaking of the way in
which they ascend tlood-gates and
other barriers, one writer says: "Those
which die stick to the post; others.
which get a little higher, meet with
the same fate, until at last layer Of
them is formed which enables the rest
to overcome the difficulty of the pass
age. The mortality resulting from
such forlorn hopes greatly helps to
account for the difference in the num-
Der of young eels on their upward mi
grafton, and that of those which re-
turn down stream in the autumn. In
some places these baby eels are much
sought after, and are formed into
cakes, which are eaten fried.
"Eels spawn like other fishes. For
long, however, the most remarkable
theories were held as to their birth.
One of the old beliefs was that they
sprang from mud; rival theory held
that young eels developed from frag-
ments separated from their parents
bodies by the rubbing against rocks.
One old author not only declared that
they came from May-dew, but gave
the following recipe for producin g
them: Cut up two turfs covered with
May-dew and lay them one upon the
other, the grassy sides inward, and
then expose them to the heat of the
sun. In few hours there will spring
from them an infinite quantity OF
