THE REGIME OF ROTTENNESS

Quite a sensation was made last
night by the appearance of Expert
Lows report upon the business
methods of the Monarchy The eX
istence of this report had been kno~n
for a year and more, but its contents
were kept under seal by the ex Queens
advisors. The revolution which eX-
posed the secret archives of Aliiolani
Hale brought the hidden document to
light and enabled the STAR to present
it to the Hawaiian and American
public.
Although the report was written in
the most cautious way, as BELTS one
who tells unpalatable truths to his own
employers, it brings the unbiased mind
to but one set of conclusions:
l. That the methods Of royal bust.
ness procedure were Systematically and
designedIy loose and open.
H. That an organized banditti in.
tested nearly all the public Offices.
III. That large sums were misplaced
misappropriated or stolen for and by
the intimate hangers on OF Royalty.
The whole showing supports the
charge that the Monarchy, so far as it
had to do with the handling of public
funds, was conducted on the plan O
addition, division and silence; anC
that the rule of silence was continued
by the Government, except in one in
stance, after the facts of misdemeanOI
had been pot at its disposal by eXper
testimony.
If there had been no other ground.
for the revolution such as were supplied
by Lilluokalani's arbitrary acts, the eX
istence of such an administrative
system as that which the late Govern
ment declined to abolish, would have
furnished them.

CUBAN AFFAIRS,
Another Version of the Recent Island
Rebellion,

New YORK, May 2o.-Captain Jose
Goroodo Of the Reina Maria Christina,
which brought the Infanta Eulalie to
this country, in an interesting interview
said that the story that General Arias is
to be recalled from Cuba is a fabrication.
"Ihere were twenty eight men in
Cuba, he said, "who threatened a revo-
luton. They belong q a revolutionary
party which was formed in Key West.
When General Aras learned of their
intentions he issued a proclamation to
the effect that if they appeared in
person before him within the next
twenty.four hours and agreed to pre-.
serve the peace he would pardon them.
The revOlutionists to a man appeared
accordingly. Arias is not to be recalled
from Cuba.
"The Infanta and Spanish Queen are
very well satisfied with his administrd.
ton, and the Infanta herself requested
me to notify the General Of this fact or
my return to Cuba The story tina,

planters, started the trouble is also un

But when 1t comes to the agricultural
industries Of sugar and rice, there is no
fear that the producers of those crops
will be left out in the cold. Both part

"1n case of annexation Hawaiian
agricultural products will receive the
same fostering care and the same i'm
petus which have been given to those
of other portions of the United States.
"But the great reason in favor of
annexation and against Republic is,
that the steady, firm and strong Govern
ment of the United States will bring to
Hawaii the blessings of peace, prosper
ity and happiness; while an independ-
ent republic means constant turmoil,
discord, strife and uncertainty, which
will repress enterprise, discourage the
introduction of capital, and finally place
the country at the mercy of any Euro.

take it.

abide here with annexation. War and
poverty will be the curses of an indie.

A BIG ESTATE.
And a Disagreement Among the Hers
as to Its Settlement.

New YORK, May 2o.-An action
has been broughtin the Supreme Court
by Malcolm W. Ford, the ex-champion
aII-around athlete, against his brothers,
c. and P. L. Ford, executors of his
fathers estate, for the purpose of estab
fishing the validity of a contract be-
tween the heirs, and appraising the
value of the estate.
Malcolm was disinherited by his
fathers will, but the other brothers and
sisters agreed thrt he should share
equally with them when the estate was
divided. 1t is understood that the
present value of the estate is about
1000, 900, Mrs Ford, the widow h "
ing life estate in it. The matter will
come up for argument before Judge
Bartlett Of the Supreme Court on the

WHY NOT A REPU BLIC1
What Judge Hartwell Thinks of the New
Proposal.

Judge Alfred S. Hartwell gives his
views Of an independent republic as
follows:
81 do not admit that this is an open
question, for annexation is our destiny,
our aim and the only legitimate out
come # the present Government. But
as am asked to discuss the merits of
an independent republic, will do SO.
Hawaii, with ITS population Of
nearly one hundred thousand souls, is
two absurdly small FIR republic. We
have long been outrageously over-gov
erned, and that evil would be no less
in republic than under the monarchy.
With fewer people than many fourth
rate cities in the United States, we
should, as a republic, continue to make
spectacle of ourselves, like small
boy in his grandfather's coat and
trousers.
"AlI the various departments, bu,
redus and Offices are supposed to be
needtd in small as in big republic.
They are a drain on the public treas
ury, and they create an army of Office
seekers who are a constant source Of
public contention.
GAS territory or state Hawaii would
do finely with Governor, whose I'M
salarled staff officers and council would
furnish al the state and dignity needed
"lhe United States Government
wo Id furnish and pay the Custom
House officers, Postmasters, District
Attorney and Marshal. There would
be no departments or Ministers Of
Foreign Affairs, Interior, Finance or
Attorney General. The entire manage
ment of those affairs would easily be
conducted by clerks under the direction
Of the Governor and the u. S. District
Attorney. This would be a great saw,
ing of money as we'll as of useless offic-
Ial machinery. No country was more
over governed than Egypt, until Eng
land took hold Of it. Hawaii has been
going the same road, and 1t is folly t."
keep on that course.
" An independent Hawaiian Repub-
lie would be the paradise of office
seekers and demagogues. 1t would
not only be natives who would come
IN for voting, Japanese and Chinese
would cl i'm it, and their Government
would have the power to enforce such
claim. 1t is one thing for the United
States with sixty millions If civilized
inhabitants, to exercise control over a
few thousand Chinese. 1t is another
and different thing for the natives
joined with the whites in Hawaii to
exclude from voting rights an equal or
larger number of Chinese and japanese
adult men. The result would be one
Of two things, an English or American
ProteCtorate, or an AsiatiC Colony, and
we want neither,
st is said that we can have our
Chinese contract labor as a Republic,
but not If annexed to the United States.
The first thing to be said of this objec-
ton, if It were sound, is, that it does
not come with much grace from a
Hawaiian, or from any poor man, or
working man, who are all interested
in having high wages for works and
high rents for land
"But it is not sound objection from
the side of the rich, or planting inter-
eSts.
"Ihe United States always takes care
of its manufacturers. The Republican
party was defeated because it is said,
it took too good care Of them, We

THE SOLUTION.
What Senator Squires Thinks of the
Geary Act.

NEw YORK, May 20, Senator
Squires of Washington when asked if
he apprehended any danger to the
missionaries and other American resi-
dents in China as a result of the en-
forCement of the Chinese Exclusion
Act, said ono, | do not OF course
it is impossible t. pred ct what may
happen. There have been riot Is in
China be fore, but do not believe that
riots or disturbances dangerous to the
lives of Americans will grow out of the
Exclusion Act"
Nobody expects the United States
Government to deport all the Chinese
in this country back to China. That
the Government did not expect to do
this is shown by the fact that Congress
appropriated only $780, 900 for the eX.
penses of the entire movement. One
Of the California Senators wanted
$500, 900, but it was thought that
$500, 900 would be sufficient. If the
Government will show that it means
Just what it said, when it passed the
Gcary law, and if it will promptly ar.
rest and deport some of the Chinese,
say only a few--a duzen, for instance
the effect on remaining Chinese will
be as good as if all were arrested at
once and s"nt back.
"They will see that the Government
is in earnest and will flock by the thou
sands to register. OF course, they can
not now legally register, but Congres.
next winter can So amend the law as t
extend its provisions and lengthen the
time limit so that all the Chinese car
register. This, to my nind, is the solu
ton of the whole problem"

Committee.
In the effort to raise enough money,
$1,000, to make a duplicate Of the
famous Liberty Bell for exhibit at the
Worlds Fair, William O. Mcdowell,
founder of several patriotic leagues in
the United States, and protector of the
Liberty Bell enterprise, asked the aid
Of Hawaiians. Some correspondence
with Charles l.. Carter, Esq. while he
was in the United States, resulted in
his suggestion that Mrs. s. B. Dole be
added to the Bell Committee. The
idea found immediate favor as the fol-
lowing letter shows

Sir: Your letter Of March 2Ist is at
hand, and we welcome most earnestly
Mrs S. B. Dole to membership in the
Columbian Liberty Bell Committee,
representing the in time to be, we hope,
new State, Hawaii
We are very DESTROYS of casting this
bell on April goth next, the anniversary
Of the birth of our government in its
completed form by the Inauguration Of
George Washington as its first PreSi
dent, We do not suppose that time
will permit your letter to reach Hawaii
and for return to be received before
that date. Is there any way that we
can have the Sandwich Islands repre-
Sented in the composition of the bell ?
We do not understand that any of the
metals fusible in the bell are found in
the Islands. If there is anything iden-
tilted with the Islands, Of historic in
terest, available in Washington, we
would appreciate it, if you would send
it in, even though it may be only the
smallest filing. Possibly you have
coins Issued by the old authorities of
the Island, that would be available If
no other means suggests itself, silver
dollar contributed by each of the com
missionerS in the name of the Island,
would fill the requirement.
The Governor of Alaska wrote,
claiming that they should have the
privilege of one fiftieth part of the
$1,000 cost of the bell, with its care at
Chicago, they figuring that number of
States and Territories, including the
District of Columbia. If the Sandwich
Islands should do the same, it would
please US very much, but at the same
time, we would not have you under any
circumstance feel burdened in the
matter.
Anything you may contribute to be
melted into the bell, can be sent to

He signs the check without noticing the

The entry goes through the books $500
