ing the islands will be Investigated
us business proposition. 1t is said
that the administration early receiv-
ed information, which was deemed
reliable, that the overthrow of Queen
Liliuokalani and the establishment
of the Provisional Government was
the result of plan formulated by
the sugar-producing elements on
the islands, and which was further
ed in San Francisco. Upon receiv-
ing this information the withdrawal
of the treaty was determined on.
THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS.
Prince David was at Chicago on
the 18th, on his return journey. He
expressed the belief that the Queen
would be restored to power.
Princess Kaiulani and party ar
rived at New York from Philadel
phia and Washington on the night
of the 18th. They were to remain
in New York until Wednesday, 22d,
when they would embark on the
steamer Majestic for England.
Theo. H. Davies, who throughout
has acted and spoken for the Prin-
cess Kaiulani, said "We only came
here to secure recognition and then
to ask the American people to look
into these Hawaiian matters. The
appointment of commissioner by
the President to go to Hawaii and
formally investigate the matter of
the proposed annexation is the very
thing we want. There are '14,000
votes in Hawaii, and of these not
over 1000 would be thrown in favor
of annexation. You in America go
by popular vote, and we are satisfied
to do the same in Hawaii
'Then you are quite satisfied with
the turn affairs have taken, and are
willing to await the action of Presi-
dent Cleveland without taking fur
Their steps?" he was asked.
Yes was the reply. "Within
two or three months the father of
the Princess Kaiulani will come to
England, and he and the Princess
will then return to this country, visit
the Worlds Fair and possibly make
a short tour of the country
CASTLE COMES HOME AND THuRsToN AND
NEUMANN STAY.
Messrs. Castle and Thurston Of
the Hawaiian commission and Paul
Neumann, attorney for Queen Lliu-
okalani, left Washington Friday
night, 18th. Mr.. Castle is en- route
for home, intending to sail from San
Francisco for Honolulu on the 3lst.
The others will return to Washing
ton and await the outcome of
Blount's visit to the Hawaiian
Islands.
THE CALL ON THE PROBLEM.
An editorial in the San Francisco
Call of March IL is as follows:
San Eastern contemporary well
says: The Hawaiian problem is one
that will be solved easily if it is
solved quickly. Every delay in an
nexation makes annexation more
difficult though perhaps not less
cert ain The so-called annexation
problem is hardly problem at all
There is but one situation which
holds out promise of peace and
safety to the islands and removes a
danger to the peace of the United
States. A native Government is not
considered possibility; European
protectorate is not to be thought
of. What remains but annexation
to the United States? Mr.. Cleveland
is said to be worried lest American
sugar-planters at the islands may
profit in some way by annexation
1t is quite likely they will. 1t is ex
> pected that all kinds of business al
the islands will be benefited by an
nexation. Even if an American pro
tectorate should be established owe,
the islands no security could be Civ
en- against a change in our tariff laws
that would greatly injure genera
business. A single year of free com
petition with other sugar-producins
countries has greatly impaired the
value of sugar plantations in Hawaii
ut is possible and even probable
that when Cleveland has though
the thing over few months he vii
Q ago. He will be forced to the SAM
n policy by the fact that there is N
t other worthy of consideration. Il
n that case we will have few verba
y amendments to the Harrison treat
! and the names of Grover CLEVELAND
t and Walter Q. Gresham will appea
l. where the names of Benjamin Harri
o son and John w. Foster appears
) in the first treaty. But Clevelan'
II will always remain under he impres
sion that the few verbal amend
r ments saved the country"
