veTsation he had With the representative Of
the British Government at Honolulu while
he was the American Minister at King
Kalakaua's court. This gentleman had
grown gray in The British consular service,
and was well versed with the traditions of
British diplomacy. He informed Mr. Dag

should arrive for the GswaiiaDs to seek the
protection of some foreign power that the
logical cousse Of events would bring them
under the American flag.

Office that there is TO be no serious opposi-

When Lord Palmerston was Minister of
Foreign Affairs he advised England's repre-

Hawaii TO and its close commercial rela-

WASHINGTON, Jan. % Official political
circles still hnd in the proposed annexation
of the Hawaiian Islands topic of absorb
ing interest. 1t is generally realized-and
this gives peculiar emphasis to the discus
sion-that The problem must be solved by
the present administration and Congress.
The Commissioners from the provisional
Government will be here next Friday, and
when their petition for annexation is pre-
sented it will be sent by the President and
State Department to Congress,
1t does not seem yet to be definitely un-
derstood whether the executive message
will be simply to the Senate or 10 both
houses. IL the former action Is adopted the
Senate will consider the matter in secret
session. With its love of mystery the SEN
ale will undoubtedly insist that the question
is one for consideration behind closed
doors. On the other hand, there are many
members Of Congress who viii insist that
the annexation is a matter too important to
be decided by the Senate alone. and they
Will demand that, instead Of a treaty OF an

there shall be regular act of annexation,
such as was passed when Texas was ad-
mtted to the Union. There is very gem
eral feeling that the annexation of Hawaii
concerns too closely the people of the
United States TO be & matter of secret con-
sultaton.
The necessity for immediate action lies In
the fact that IL some definite step is not
promptly taken by this Government, Great
Britain will be apt TO assert protectorate
over the islands on the plea that British
interests must be guarded This step it is
generally conceded. will be but the begin

Honolulu is ahead of New Jersey in one
respect. That is In having two entirely
different kinds of mosquitoes-one for the
day and one for the night.
'An amusing story is told there about a
family named Hall. who went to Honolulu
from Newark, n. j. Their journey was
long and tiresome and by the time they ar
rived at their destination they lOnged for
home again. They had been in Honolulu a
few hours only when they visibly bright
ened, and when asked how they liked the
place they cheerfully answered.:
"'Ob, 1--WE were kinder lonesome and home
sick at first; but now 1t Amt so bad, for
you've got mosquitoes that beat our n all
holler.'
Af"Hawalian mosquitoes are like New Eng
land weather, If Mark Twain is to be be-
lieved, for there are all kinds, sizes, shapes
and ages. As no one has ever been able TO
boast of having killed one, and as they
never die in that climate. they multiply in
numbers and Increase in yiciousness every

year round. Were it not for the exertion of
keeping eff the pests the inhabitants could
well be considered the NJ most indolent people
in the world. They take very little exer-
else and hardly ever walk.

Her possession of the Hawalin group would
complete the armed circle.
AS war with Mexico resulted from the
annexation of Texas, there is some talk
that Great Britain would not look calmly on
while the United States took Hawaii under
its protecting wing This view Of the case
was duly considered in a desultory discus
sion which occurred In the executive session
oil the Senate yesterday. and will be an i'm
portant factor in reaching conclusion.
1t Is we'll known, however. that major
lily of the Senators and certainly most Of
the advanced thinkers on both sides of the
chamber believe that it is the duty of the
United States to look out for its own inter-
ests first and then be prepared TO defend
itself If any European power should offer
any objection.
In this connection there is some criticism
OF the Navy Department in not having more
vessels at hand in the Pacific Ocean and
particularly in Hawaiian waters, in view of
the fact that the possibility of this revolu-
tion has been anticipated flor some months.
The State Department has been thoroughly
advised of the progress of events at the ISL
ands, although it may perhaps be true that
the elimination was not so suddenly eX-
pected.

to have been sent by the depOsed Queen,

courts OF justice, jures, tenure of lands and the

the Hawaiian Kingdom took It's place among
civilized nations, and commanded respect and

HAvERHIIL, Mass, July 25.-The
New England coast has been visited
for the past forty-eight hours with the
most terrific storms, accompanied with
the highest rate of winds that have
been known here for years. From
Portland, Me-. to the Massachusetts
coast the loss has been great, and the
lake region of New Hampshire, as well
as the cities on the coast, have been Mt
the mercy of the elements. Houses
have been unroofed trees torn up and
strewn upon the railroad tracks and
in the streets of cities, and the crops
of the farming country of this re-
gion have been literally torn from the
earth and are ruined. Between this
town and Lakeport advices state that
three ice houses have been blown down.
Other houses, in the process OF con-
struction, were torn to pieces, and fly
ing timbers were carried at high rate
through the air. Hundreds of trees
have been torn down. Telegraphic
and telephone service with the outly-
ing towns is ruined, all wires and poles
being down. The rainfall here has
been the heaviest for months. All the
smaller streams are so swollen that
further damage is feared from this
