Special Correspondence of Associated Press
Honolulu, Sept. 13 via San Francisco,
Sept. 20).-The situation here is one of ex-
pectancy and waiting. The planters are
becoming dissatisfied with Japanese
labor. The Japanese are quarrelsome,
and several murders have occurred.
The planters, it is said, have made de-
mand on the Provisional Government to
admit large number of Chinese laborers
under the law allowing the landing of
5000 agricultural laborers. The Pro-
visional Government will not grant the
demand, as it considers itself under
pledge to the United States through a
treaty heretofore submitted, which will
not admit of allowing any further Chinese
immigration.

TALK OF ANNEXING TO CALIFORNIA.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-A quiet little
dinner was given to-day by Claus K.
Spreckels, President OF Spreckels d.
Bros, big sugar men, to Senators Allison,
Hale, Gray, Hawley, White of Louisiana,
Perkins of California, and German.
After dinner Perkins observed that il
might be good idea to annex the Ha-
walian Islands not to the United States as
a separate State, but to the State OF Cali
fornia. 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 some such idea
some time.
Gray and Hawley thought favorably of
il, and of another suggestion from Per-
kins that Congress might pass law an
nexing the island to California, the Cali
fornia Legislature TO sanction such an Act.
Spreckels is understood TO have said
nothing, but as Perkins is his bosom
friend, it is supposed be approves, if he
did not suggest, the idea. Developments
are looked Tor.

TROUBLE IN VIRGINIA.

ROANOKE (Va.). Sept. 20.-One of the
most dastardly outrages in the history OF
the city occurred at about 10 o'clock this
morning. Mrs. Henry S. Bishop was
enticed by negro named Thomas Smith
from market where she had come to sell
produce, into an empty saloon basement,
beaten into insensibility, and robbed of

The tiend was captured and lodged in
Jail. A crowd gathered around the jail,
and kept increasing as night approached
At o'clock the Roanoke Light Infantry
marched to the Jail by the orders of
Mayor Trout. Guards were posted In
the streets IN the immediate vicinity.
About dark the crowd increased by a
hundred men from the vicinity of the
woman's home, headed by Mrs. Bishops
son. At O'Clock a portion of the mob
battered at the side door OF the jail, where
the militia and Mayor Trout had retired
Shooting was commenced by the mob,
and the Mayor was shot in the foot The
militia was then ordered to return the
fire, and volley from about twenty y-five
rifles poured into the mob. Nine men
were Killed by the fire and as many more
wounded, some fatally. During the ex-
element caused by the volley the negro
was taken from the Jail by officers and
secured. The dead and wounded were re-
moved to drug store and to the offices Of
nearby physicians.
The militia then dispersed and left the
scene as quietly as possible. Several
speeches were made after the militia re-
tired, and Judge Woods of Hastings
Court assured the mob that the negro
Smith had been removed from the Jail,
and accompanied two of the crowd
through the Jail to prove the truth OF his
statement. His statement did much to
pacify the crowd, but they hung around
the Jail and adjacent streets for several
hours afterwards, many dispensing to
search for the secreted prisoner.
At midnight the scene had quieted
down, and no further trouble Is expected.
The militia remains under the Mayors
orders, although it is probable they will
not be called out again. Mayor Trout is
firm in the position he assumed and de-
clared that he will uphold the laws.
The dead have been removed to under
taking establishments and will be pre-
pared for burial,
