The Revolution Regarded as the
Work of Immigrants.

LONDON, Jan. 30.-The Daily Graphic
says of the Hawaii revolution:
Beyond dispute there has been mis-
government in Hawaii, but, except for
the lurid stories published in San
Francisco, nothing occurred, to
queens deposition. The revolution
seems to be purely the work
OF section of immigrants, number
ing, at the outside, 1,50O. The fact that
the revolutionistS were in so great
hurry to ask the United States for all
nexation wears an ugly look"
The Morning Post says: "AnneXa-
tion of Hawaii by the United States
might be regarded as counter move 10
fortifying Esquimalt. The bulk of the
Hawaiian trade being with the United
States, we are not surprised that there
should be desire for closer unlo with
that poWer.'
The Daily News says: The overthrow
of the queen seems to be an American
coup. Hawaii being the key to the
whole group. the Americans, once
they possess it, would not find
any difficulty in making themselves
masters of the others. Europe, how
ever, has necessities-ln the same quar-
ter, Honolulu being the only coaiing
station on the mail route between San
francisco and Auckland.
The Daily Telegraph says: The affair
wears an aspect OF successful attempt
by American intriguerS to SubVert
the existing order of things in favor,
first, of themselves. the next OF what
is impossible, and we could
not allow, the United States to annex
the islands, even if the established pol
icy at Washington permitted The idea
to be entertained. This policy, how
ever. will not permit it. Obviously the
native government ought to be restored,
for the revolutionist work is of discon-
tented, selfish foreigners, especially
Yankees.
The Daily Chronicle says: Europe
has not any great concern with Hawai-,
nevertheless the queen has rights which
seem to have received Scant respect
from the leaders of the movement.
Events had not given to section
of the foreign population the right to
GUST the lawful sovereign. Anxiety for
the welfare of the natives seems to have
been less of motive with the American
party than the desire to further their
own interests.
The Standard says: 1t is not likely
that the good sense of the American
people will permit them to assume this
responsibility. which will be unprofita-
bic, or to claim an extension OF lnt1u-
ence which would be opposed and re-
sented by other powers having
equal interests at stake. 1t Is
true that the United States
could not allow any of the other powers
to annex the islands, but none has such
an ambition. Justice requires that the
constitution be restored with such re-
forms as are necessary, the powers
most interested agreeing in respect
to the guarantee. Neither the United
States nor Germany nor Great Britain
has sufficient motive for making self
ISL arrangement.
The Times says: 1t is difficult to see
how compliance with Mr.. Dole's request
can be reconciled with existing Amer
lean institutions. 1t seems plain, how
ever, that the state OF things that
has existed lately cannot continue
any longer. Something must be done.
The question is what and by whom.
The Samoan precedent is not altogether
encouraging. Nevertheless, it seems
possible that some such scheme may be
executed ultimately.
