The Australia brings Honolulu advices

at fever heat, but I'D to that lime there

The United Press correspondent at Homo

Queens Adherents Arming.
Since December no material change has
taken place In the military or political atti-
tude Of the different parties. The queens

After a hearing of two days in the case Of
F. Wunderberg the supreme court ordered
his removal from Office. The court found
that Wundenberg had violently denounced
the provisional government and its chief Of
flcers and stated that IL was impressed
with the view that he had done 80 because
of his disappointment at not having been
made marshal In his testimony Wunden-
berg denied having been an annexationist.
1T is certain, however, that he vehemently
favored annexation at the time OF the Ash
ford and wilcox conspiracy for annexation
nearly two years ago, when most Of the

hoped to be able to induce the queen TO be

The leading political event OF the week is

What they Miss.

The Worlds Fair would have had 100,
900 visitors on Sunday had the gates
been open. This was the estimate OF
Horace F. Tucker, superintendent of adj
missions, who declared that the railways
and cable lines had brought at least that
many people into the immediate vicinity
of the fair during the day. AS on last
Sunday, the crowd was forced to spill
over into the side-shows, and the ossi-
fed family, the fortune tellers, trick
bicycle riders and other attractions of
like intellectually reaped enough money
to make them rich for a Year to come.
Inside the gates the work Of installation
and the arrangement of delayed exhibits
went on as badly as ever.
Director Thomas B. Bryan, of the ex-
position company, has written an open
letter. to the national commissioners, in
which he disclaims any intended disre-
spect to that body by the action OF the
directory in opening Jackson park on
Sunday. His communication was called
forth by the repeated denunciation Of that
act by the commissioners, and in it he
accuses some of the national commits
sioners, who are now talking strongly
against the opening of the fair, as pro-
posed by the local directory, as having
been much more in favor of an "open
Sunday than any of the local directors.
He insists that the local directory acted
within it's powers in proposing open
grounds for Sunday, with closed build
ings and half the regular price OF admis-
sion.

Its Effect.

Rev. DR.. J. S. Baldwin, for twenty
two years Methodist missionary in Chi
ma, and for nearly a quarter of century
secretary of the Methodist Episcopal
church, which has large moneyed inter-
est in China, said to-day that he has posi-
tive information from d;gnitaries of the
Chinese government and from his own
Chinese missionaries that it the Chinese
exclusion act is carried into effect and
Chinese are shipped from this country
to China, deported simply because they
are here without having taken out certi-
ticates, that Americans in China will be
likewise deported from that country to-
the United States.
eff the law is declared cons titutional
by the supreme court" he said, II anti
cipate that there will be a speedy exodus
both of missionaries and merchants from
China in retaliation for oursending home
Chinese from the United States. Sever
al years ago this course was urged upon
the Chinese government by one of the
censors, who was supported in his men,
orial by number of prominent officials.
Ii Hung Chang, at present viceroy OF
Chan-le and Shang Tung provinces, the
great statesman of China whom Gen.
Grant so heartily admired, had been very
slow to come to this view of the case and
very unwilling to relinquish his marked
friendship for the United States. But
there is strong ground for believing that
this great statesman has at last come to
the conclusion that the only way to de-
fend the honor and dignity of his, own
nation, in view of these unexpected acts
of oppressive Legislation on our part, land
in view of diplomatic inaction to pro-
duce any remedy, is to enter upon the
course of retaliation and treat Ameri-
cans in China as Chinese are treated in
America. This is the most perilous time
in the relation of China to the United
States that has yet been encountered. 1t
is probable that the Methodist church
will make an appeal to the Chinese au-
thorities, in case the deportation is deci-
ded upon, in behalf of the Methodist
missionaries now stationed in all of the
Provinces
