Throne OF Hawaii by Force, and That
Done the United state Will Have to

Minister Thurston Notified:
SAN Francisco. Nov. BIN an in
terview with the Hawaiian consul-gen-
eral last night he said
Uncle Sam may restore Lilioukalani
by force, but that is the only way she
can reach the throne again. II this is
done the United States government
will have to maitain her on the throne
by force. The provisional government
is strong enough to maintain the con-
troll of the islands unless the United
States should interfere. OF course, it
could not fight the United States, but
If this government should interfere to
restore the deposed queen she
would be deposed again as soon
as the force was withdrawn.
The letter of Secretary Gresham
| is dated October IS. This was
two days prior to the departure OF
| Minister Willis to Hawaii. II would
seem that our minister at Washington,
Mr.. Thurston. should have been notl-
fed at the same time, but he was not.
The Hawaians believe that the royal
lists have had information that was in
accessible to those of us who favor an
nexation. Lilioukalani, has said all
along that she would be restored by
the American government She has
told her supporters to have no fear, as
the Washington government woulo
certainly place her back on the throne

GEORGE KEENAN,, the we'll Known
writer and lecturer on Russian sub
jects, says that the recently signed
Russian tradition treaty gives every
advantage to Russia and none to
America. He says that country is not
refuge for American criminals for
the reason that it is constantly and
universally under police scrutiny. A
stranger entering The country with a
false passport will be subject to pun
ishment under the law of the land for
forgery, and it would not avail him, if
he were a citizen of the United States,
to plead his citizenship, and perhaps
that is about right. A criminal
would increase his chances of diScov-
cry by resorting to such protection.
1t looks as though the rights of the
land of freedom had been unduly tam
pered with.
