scale. The mines now worked are
mostly those in which the gold is
held intact in quartz dug from veins
and drifts. The quartz must be
broken, crushed and ground fine as
powder. This is the work of the
stamp mill-huge mortars and pestles
operated by machinery. The real
difficulty in quartz mining lies rather
in separating the gold from the baser
minerals than in the crushing. The
finely powdered mass is carried from
the stamps by running water first
over a shallow bath of mercury.
Quicksilver is heavy, but gold is
heavier, and into the mercury the
larger particles of gold sink. Next
the water spreads itself over plates
Of copper, coated with cyanide of
potassium. This coating catches
still more of the floating particles.
The stream pursues its course over q
stretch of blankets, the rough and
hairy surface of which retains many
more of che yellow atoms. Finally

benefit of the Hawaiian planters.
As a matter of law, there is room
for grave doubt whether some OF
the provisions of this treaty can be
carried out. The treaty makes
Hawaii American soil, and there
is strong ground for holding that
the Hawaiian growers Of sugar will
become entitled to any bounty
paid to other American growers,
as soon as ratifcations have been
exchanged. The same reasoning
applies TO the case of exports and
imports. In any case there will
be nothing TO hinder Congress
from taking immediate action with
reference to all these matters, and
they will undoubtedly receive
prompt consideration.

The advices from Washington
indicate that it is not unlikely that
action on the Hawaiian Treaty
may be deferred until after March
4th. In that case a special session
of Congress viii probably be held,
which there is, for that matter,
some reason for anticipating on
other grounds. On the other hand
there is strong ground for the hope
that s vote may be reached before
the expiration Of the present ses-
sion. The delay which has oc-
Cured is not s misfortune, for al
though people here naturally desire
to see the tension ended in one way
or another, it is undoubtedly bet
ter that action should only follow
3 deliberation full and mature
enough TO exhaust the subject in
ali its bearings. The cause of an
lexation is right and just; it is
based on the highest welfare of all
classes and races, and it may we'll

What WiHett 6- Gray's Sugar
Circular Says.

The most notable fact of the
week has been the receipt of news
from the Sandwich Islands of a
revolution in the islands, which has
overthrown the government of the
Queen and placed in power a Pro-
visional Government of the people.
which has sent q delegation to the
United States for the purpose of
procuring the annexation of the
islands to the United States. Al
though there is q difference of
opinion as to the ultimate success
OF this project, yet the majority
appear to think that it will be sue
cessful. The main object of the
islands in asking for this annexa-
ton Is. OF course, that they NAV
procure the 2 cent bounty on sugar.
On the part Of the United States
there are, undoubtedly, many good
reasons in favor of control of the
and inasmuch as the con-
tinuation Of the bounty law is
matter of serious doubt, II may be
as well for the United States TO
take advantage Of this favorable
opportunity for securing the isl
ands. It would please a great
many people much better, however,
If the proposal for annexation had
come TO US from the island of Cuba.
That Is the island which would
prove OF immense value to the Uni
ted States. and We can conceive Of
no sum Of money that would be too
large for the United States TO pay
for its purchase, provided it ever
becomes question Of purchase.

IT Is A GEM.
No Fault Can Be Found With the

question. He added: The time
now is too short before the close of

hardly reach vote. No fault.
however. can be found with the
treaty. Il Is s gem, and if it is
satisfactory 10 the Hawaiian COM
missioners 1t certainly should meet
with the approval Of the American
people. There Is no reason why
the matter should be DELAYED. and
there has not been any undue haste.
We understand the exact condition
Of things on the Islands. and as
there was no occasion for DELAY the
treaty was not drawn up too soon.
The sooner the matter Is settled
the better il viii be for all con-
ce-ned. bur, as II takes time 10 de-
bate an important question similar
10 the Hawaiian. and as there is
not sufficient time for that debate.

The object of the Treaty thus
outlined IS first Of all to secure
political union with the United
States. The incorporation Of the
islands into American territory
with the necessary changes in laws
and institutions which this in
wolves, is 8 matter of great diff
Guilty and deliczcy, and raises s
number Of questions of detail
which only patient study can
settle. The treaty which the
commissioners have negotiated
separates the main issue from the
mass Of subordinate details and
secures the immediate advantage
of stability in political union. The
question Of the form Of government
is left to be fixed by an Act Of Con-
gneSs. SIS well as the matter Of the

The TREATY.

/ We present our readers with the
full text Of the Treaty OF Annexa-
ton which Is in process of negoda-
ton al Washington. Ii is unques-
tionably authentic, and Its arrival
on the steamer Thursday is q for
tunate circumstance. for it will
dispel the fears as to the terms of
the Treaty. based on the imperfect
information hitherto received.
The Treaty is one of annexation
pure and simple. It transfers to
the United States the sovereignty
Of the Islands and the title to the
property owned by the Government.
II prohibits the further immigra-
ton of Chinese into the Islands
and of Chinese from Hawaii into
the United States. 1t makes hand
some provision for the deposed
Queen, .Liliuokalani. and for the
Princess Ksiulani. Finally, it
leaves the Islands under the pres
ent government and laws until such
time as an Act creating 3 govern
ment for the Islands shall be passed
by Congress, which must take place
within one year.
Such are the leading stipulations
of the Treaty The transfer of the
Crown and Government lands is
accompanied by the provision that
these lands shall not be subject TO
the operation Of the United States
laws relating 70 public lands, but
shall be governed by special legis-
lation, and all revenue derived |
therefrom, except such as may be
set apart 70 the uses of the local |
shall be used solely |
for the benefit Of the inhabitants
Of the Hawaiian Islands for educa- |
,iOnal and other public purposes
The benefits from the public lands
will accrue TO the inhabitants OF
his country, and the Treaty thus

agitation have failed to accom-

L BRITISH VIEW OF ANNEXATION

We quote from the London
Financial News, of January 31st,
the following extracts from an
article on Hawaiian affairs, which
takes q very sensible view of the
situation This article probably
represents the best English opinion
on this question. The attitude OF
the Imperial Government shows
that II has no idea of protesting
against annexation. The mutual
jealousy and hostility which still
subsists TO some extent between
Great Britain and the United
States Is unreasonable and unnat-
uraL If all newspapers took as
rational view Of the situation as
the Financial News, there would
be less Of this feeling;
The question Of possible annexa-
ton has been under discussion be-
fore. and the Democrats have op-
posed II as being contrary to the

TIE CROWN LANDS.

Mr.. Pratt is not to be blamed for
making this claim, but neither viii
the Hawaiian and Washington gov
ernments be TO blame for ignor-
ing it.
The Crown Lands are the prop
erty Of the people, as the whole
history of legislation in regard to
them since 1866. goes to show. Or
iginally set apart by Kamehameha
III. for the maintenance of the royal
dignity, the Supreme Court held
that in the death of Kamehameha
IV. they did not pass to his heirs,
but went 10 the heir to the Throne,
who had, however, only a life in
terest in them. The Act of Settle
ment of 1866 fixes the legal status
OF the lands and defines the estate
Of each sovereign in them. This
Act changed, absolutely, the nature
of the tenure by which these lands
were held. It created the Crown
Land Commission, defined their
duties and attached various limit
atiOns to the power to dispose of the
property. This Act was not merely
acquiesced in BY the King, but he
was, as sovereign. a party to its
passage. The title of all subse-
quent sovereigns is derived from
this Act, and not from the original
grant of Kamehameha III. at all. |
