of Hawaii, but a good, round annuity
for her ex.majesty Liliuokalani
There is another item Of news from
Hawaii which deals rather with Ameri-
can politics than with Hawaiian, and
that is the c0ndlct of Claus Spreckels
on his present visit to the islands. He
seems strongly disposed to put the
screws on to the sugar planters and to
hamper them in every way in their
business. The explanation of this
course is to be found, obviously, in Mr.
Spreckels' interest in the sugar trust of
the East He probably has no per.
sonal animosity against the Hawaiian
sugar planters, but the sugar trust does
not want an output Of 900, 900 900
pounds Of sugar year, which, were the
Hawaiian islands annexed, would re.
ceive. bounty of two cents per pound.
This is, from the sugar trusts stand.
point, ample reason for opposing annex
alton on the one hand and limiting
the output of Hawaiian sugar on the
other. 1t is purely a matter of bust
ness with Claus Spreckels, who is act
ing for himself and his associates in
the sugar trust. Chronicle.

HAWAIIAN POLITICS.

There have been developed two very
interesting and significant facts in Ha-
waiian politics, the one being the
occupation of the palace in Honolulu
by the Provisional Government, the
other the publication Of the ex-Queen's
statement that she surrendered to the
Provisional Government, and not to
the United States, as her partisans
have claimed.
In one sense it makes no difference
whether the Provisional Government
occupy the Iolani Palace or whether it
find headquarters somewhere else, for
it can rule equally well from one place
as from another, but inasmuch as the
occupation of the royal palace bespeaks
the final overthrow of the monarchy, it
lends prestige to the Provisional Gov
eminent, and that means a great deal
with the natives of the Hawaiian
Islands.
The disclosure Of the contents of the
letter of attorney given to Paul Neu-
mann does not put the ex Queen in a
very enviable light. 1t appears that
she was more concerned in securing an
allowance for herself, through the
mediation of the United States, than
with the future of her subjects. The
crown was only means to an end, and
that end was not the political prosperity

BE it enacted by the Executive and Ad.
visory Councils of the Provisional Government

Section l. The Postmaster General, as man.
ager Of the Postal Savings Bank, with the
consent and approval of the Minister Of
Finance, may issue to any person Term

HAS FAITH IN BLOUNT.
A Hawaiian Official Thinks He Will
Favor Annexation.

WASHINGTON, June I6.-Mr, Hast
ings, Secretary of the Hawaiian Lega
ton, has arrived in Washington, having
eft Honolulu June Ist. In an inter
view Mr.. Hastings said $50 far as
the annexation sentiment is concerned,
l can only say that it is growing daily.
There never has been any intention on
the part of Mr. Blount, either as Com
missioner or Minister, to restore the
royalists to power We believe when
Mr.. BIount submits his report it will be
found to coincide with the views of
those who have the welfare of the
Islands at heart. The Provisional Gov
eminent has the confidence Of the
people"
Whether or not Mr.. Blount has re-
signed his new position as Minister
instead of Commissioner to Hawaii
cannot be definitely determined here.
The State Department still carries
Blounts name on the register as Min
lister and refuses to admit that he has
resigned. In view of these facts the
published statements, which say the
place has been offered to Consul Gen
eraI Crittenden in Mexico, and to
! dge Sneed of Tennessee, become a
little perplexing, inasm, oh as it is posi-
lively said Blount's place is not re
gdrded as vacant, and consequently il
has not been rendered TO any one.

ONE Of the press correspondents
here reports the exQueen as saying
that she will never set her foot in
Iolani Palace again because of its
" dissertation. This is what might be
called richness When one comes to
think of the special features Of sanctity
which were impaired to the palace by
David Kalakaua and Liiuokalani--
not to speak of the Rogues' Gallery as
a whole-the idea that the palace has
been desecrated by President Dole,
Minister Damon and their Confeues
becomes exceedingly funny. AS to the
ex-Queen not setting her foot in Iolani
again, that has been provided for by
certain circumstances which won't give
her the chance.

capital stock Of the bank Is 1000, 900,
surplus, 100000; undivided profits,
$50, 900. Our individual deposits are
$500, 900; due Eastern Banks, $500,
900; country banks, $50, 900; certif-
Gates of deposit, $500, 900; time certifi-
Gates of deposit, $2so,ooo; total, about
ST. 900, 900. Against this we have
ST. 600, 900 bills receivable, $1,000, 900
in bonds; real estate, etc, 100000;
SO that if the capital and surplus were
swept aside we would still have enough
to take care of our depositors.
4" BY reason of the disturbed condi-
ton of finances in the commercial
world and the contracted supply OF
money available for business uses, we
have been unable to collect our loans
and to convert our assets with sufficient
rapidity to meet the exceptional needs
of our depositors. We therefore felt
bound, in justice to all concerned, to
suspend payments for the present.
Should no satisfactory arrangements
for an early continuance he effected,
the depositors will soon be paid in full,
with interest, and the assets, if properly
handled, will yield the shareholders
So, 900, 900, or 200 per cent on the
par value of the capital stock. The
stock is held in wealthy hands repre-
senting millions Of money, and the
liability is such on each shareholder as
to preclude the possibility of loss to
depositors. Our present liabilities,
outside Of foreign capital and surplus,
are only about ST., 600, 900, and con
siderable of this is subject to reduction
by offsets"
THE REAL TROUBLE.
The real trouble with the Pacific
Bank has been that its funds were
largely loaned upon a class of securities
which we're net first-Class and coulc
not be realized upon when the bank
was in need Of money. These securi
ties included bonds Of he electric rail
roads of Los Angeles, the Ph9nil
Water Works, California Fruit anC
Raisin Growers, lands at MADEIRA
Mohawk canal and mortgages upol
schemes of like character
THE DEPOSITORS.
According to Vice President Nc
Donald's statement the Pacific Banl
owes its depositors $500, 900. The mum
Der of the depositors is said to be abou

WE have seen nothing more I'M
warranted of late than the BuiIctiRS
attack on Hon w. O. Smith for his
part in the attempt to remove the
lepers from Kalalau He is accused of
having "meddled" when he was simply
carrying out the behests Of statute he
is sworn to execute. The Bulletin
argues that as lepers and non lepers
were living together in peace at Kalalau
they should have been let alone,
Carried to its logical end such plea
would mean that wherever the victims
of the white plague are contented to
stay, even though they are in contact
with unaffected persons, they should
not be disturbed. A rule of proceed
ure like that would do away with
Molokai and spread leprosy SO broad
cast that the world would shun the
Hawaiian group as a plague spot
The greatest good to the greatest mum
Der, which is the just end of sanitary
legislation, requires that all lepers or
these islands be segregated at the place
where they can be watched and carec
for.

on the Hudson, within sight of the old
military academy from which two men
who did their best, one to defend, the
other to destroy, the Union were gradu-

to happen a touching and picturesque

NOTICE.

The universal and continued contraction Of
the money market and the general inability to
realize upon assets, have made it necessary for
us to suspend business. Depositors will be
paid in full.
All the morning the bank was visited
by depositors, who wished to satisfy
themselves that il had actually failed,
but they quickly comprehended the
situation and quietly went away, The
usual crowds of curiosity-loving people,
who had no interest in the bank, as
sembled, but there was nothing out OF
the ordinary for them to see. Inside
of the bank all the officers and clerks
were at their posts, and were hard at
work upon their books and accounts.
The failure of the Pacific Bank has
excited no surprise in financial and
general business circles, for ii had been
an open secret for a long time that the
bank was weak, and the knowing ones
governed themselves accordingly.

THE death of Senator Stanford re-
moves the most Creditable figure of that
group OF capitalists which built the
Central Pacific railway. Though a
man of vast means and high position,
Senator Stanford preserved his demo.
cratic ways and went about doing good.
He will be remembered for his bene-
factions, educational and otherwise,
long after the names Of Huntington
and Hopkins shall have been forgotten.
The good he did lives after him.
There was no evil to be inferred with
his bones.

No ONE seems to want the Hawaiian
mission as a gift. The reason doubt
less is that few politicians in the United
States think it can be made to last long.
Annexation may come and abolish the
ministry whereupon the incumbent
would find that he had permitted the
President to discharge political obliga.
tons to him with a mess of pottage.
1t is very doubtful if any high.clas:

THE financial crisis in California has
become very acute. The failure of the

had for the suspended institutions from

THE impression that Liliuo%alani
gave her whole case away in the Neu-
mann power of attorney is shared by
the press of the United States. An
extract from the Chronicle, printed
elsewhere, gives glimpse of the pre-
vailing view On all sides there is but
one verdict upon the duplicity, perfdy
and selfshness which the text of the
document reveals.
