MINISTER rHURsroN's VIEWS.

WASHINGTON, September I'll. A.
Thurston, the Hawaiian envoy, has
returned to this city. In an inter.
view this evening he said that the
last information he had received from
the Provisional Government was to the
effect that there was a surplus of
$3.50, 900 in the treasury, and that the
Postal Savings Bank had surplus Of
SIS, 900. He regarded as q most sig
nifcant sign of the Governments sta
billty the the fact that the issue of
$G3o, 900 of 8 per cent. bonds for in.
ternal Improvements had been put on
the home market and sold, few of
them at %, but most of them at par
"The attitude of Spreckels," con.
tinued Thurstor, "is simply matter of
business. He wants cheap coolie labor
and knows this system would be done
away with if the country were an
American State"
ThurstOn, in conclusion, said most
emphatically that he considered the
Provisional Government strong enough
to hold the relns until the hnal decision
is reached
1t is the strongest government
Hawaii has had for years, if she ever
had a stronger" he said.

Captain Whiting Asks To Be Relieved
From Duty.

|
WASHINGTON, September I7.-One
of the social sensations of the autumn
in naval circles will be the marriage OF
Commander William II. Whiting to
Miss Along, daughter of a millionaire
Chinese merchant of Hawaii The
engagement has frequently been re-
ported and as often denied, but friends
of the prospective groom have not
only abundant proof, but authority for
the statement that the report of the en-
gagement is correct and that the mar
rage will take place during the present
year. Indeed there is also official evil
dence of such intention on the part Of
Commander Whiting for that officer
has sent an official cable to the Secre-
tary of the Navy requesting to be re
lieved at once from the command Of
the Alliance for important personal
reasons. This to officers familiar
with his secret is equivalent to an APP.
plication for a marriage license.
The department will not stand be-
tween the two alliances. His appli.
cation to be relieved from the one of a
nautical nature will be approved as
soon as his successor can be deter
mined upon, although in the present
state of affairs in Nicaragua he will
not be permitted to leave the ship I'M
til the new commander arrives in
Corinto and formally relieves him.
Miss Along, the other party to the
coming event, is well known by navy
people who have visited Hawaii. She
is the third of ten daughters of Along,
who is a genuine Monaghan. Hel
mother, very superior woman, is OF
English Hawaiian parentage. Along is
said to be worth several million dollars
| The eldest daughter married an Amer.
lean of good family,
| Commander Writings fancee i!
said to be the prettiest of the girls, al
of whom are remarkable for their beau
ty. She was educated in Europe ant
is highly accomplished in art anc
music. Those who have observed the
courtship say that it is case of gen
uine love and devotion on both sides

Five Arrive by the Australia-Native
Band Rumors.

George c. Beckley, one of ex Queen
Liliuokalani's advisory counsellors, ar
rived yesterday from Honolulu on the
steamer Australia. He has in charge
five native Hawaiian musicians, very
clever performers, whom be is taking
to Chicago to join the cyclorama in
the Worlds Fair Last evening they
gave a concert in the hallway Of the
Occidental hotel. This morning the
entire party leaves for Chicago.
1t had been expected that the Ha,
waiian National Band, formerly the
Royal Band, of forty pieces would
come on the steamer. The band will
come for the Midwinter Fair in this
city, but it was decided not to go to
Chicago, as the big fair there will soon
draw to a close.-Chronicle.

IS spREcKELs FOR ANNEXATION?
WASHINGTON, September 2o.-A
quiet little dinner was gives to Claus
Spreckels by Oxnard Brothers, the big
sugar men. Senators Allison, Hale,
Gray, Hawley, White of Louisiana,
Perkins of California and German were
present. After dinner Perkins observed
that it might be a good idea to annex
the Hawaiian Islands, not to the United
States as a separate State, but to the
State of California, He pointed out
several islands from thirty to forty
miles distant from the coast which had
been annexed, and suggested that were
Hawaii so annexed California would
take care Of it,
Allison said that he had had some
such idea for some time. Gray and
Hawley thought well of it and OF an
other suggestion from Perkins that
Congress might pass law anneXIng
the Islands to California, the California
Legislature to sanction such act
Spreckels is understood to have said
nothing, but as Perkins is his bosom
friend it is supposed that he approves
if he did not suggest the idea. Devel-
opments are looked for.
WASHINGTON, September Io.-Claus
Spreckels has an appointment with
President Cleveland and Secretary
Gresham tomorrow to urge protect
crate for Hawaii instead of annexation

A Time When il Favored the Annexa-
ton of Hawaii.

We acknowledge the receipt from
Washington of the following excerpt
from the New York HeyoidS editorial
columns Of June 3, 1854:
"The information received at the
State Department from The Sandwich
Islands will arrest public attention. 1t
seems King Kamehameha IS impatient
to become annexed to the United
States, and has again applied to our
Consul at Honolulu urging the speedy
adoption Of measures to effect that OBJ
ject This subject has occupied the
attention of the press and the people OF
this country for years. and yet we md
that the present administration has not
taken even the first preliminary step
toward carrying out an object of such
vast importance, both politically and
commercially, to our citizens.
"Ten millions of dollars for strip OF
desert land beyond the confines of

A POISONED SOLDIER.
One of the Hawaiian Provisional Guard
at the Coast.

John Slattery, one Of the soldiers Of
the Provisional Government at Homo
lulu, who was accidentally poisoned
about five months ago by eating some
timed vegetables, was brought up on
the steamer Australia yesterday and
sent to St. Mary's Hospital for treat
ment. The other soldiers who were
poisoned fully recovered, but Slattery
had had trouble with his stomach ever
since. DIR. Soule Of the steamer thinks
that the soldiers troubles are due to
his not receiving proper attention al
the time the symptoms of poison mani
tested themselves, and the poison has
permeated the system.-ChrOnick.

capable Of requires 10 be measured for

operation, a new adjusting gun has been
devised. The bend and castoff of the

grooves running parallel to the line Of
the butt. The length Of the butt is also
adjusted by screws in the heel. The

THE PRIZE TRlPLETS.


They Have Laid Claim tn Superiority Over
the bennington Three.
Mr.. q. Mayes writes 10 us from Hal
stead to call attention to the fact that
the Whitmarsh bennington
triplets are not the only ones which have
lived to celebrate their majority. At
Edinburgh one morning IN August,
1868. the wife of Mr. q. MaYes, watch
maker and icweler, surprised her hus-
band 10y presenting him with triplets
two SUNS and one daughter-a feat
for which she was rewarded by duly re-
feiyins the royal bounty. When the
Youngsters came of age in 1884, the
proud father COMMUNICATED the event
10y having photograph of the three
taken and sending copy to the queen,
in acknowledgment of her former kind
hess. Her majesty replied to Mr.
Mayes' letter, expressing a hope that
the triplets were we'll and prospecting.
j Mr.. and Mrs. Mayes the latter Of
whom was the mother of five children
in Is months are still well and hearty,
and OH the Sd of January they propose
celebrating their golden wedding. Mr..
IMayes tells MS that the triplets all enjoy
good health. We are all three mar
ried-two boys and one girl-and two
