Million Dollars Worth of Property
Destroyed.
LITCHFIELD, Ills, March 22.-The
Kehler FIGURING mills, in which the ter.
rible explosion occurred yesterday, are
said to be the largest in the United
States The establishment is now in
ruins. A number of dwellings were
badly damaged and it is estimated that
s., 900 worth of glass in the windows of
houses all over town was shattered.
When the big mills were discovered
to be on fire the flames were beyond
control. 1t is thought that the fire was
caused by a spark from a passing loco
motive. Employees and the local fire de-
partment hastened to the scene of the
conhagration and while they were en-
deavoring to subdue the flames a ter
rife explosion occurred. This was prob
ably due to the ignition of flour dust.
Building Blown to Pieces.
The immense building was literally
blown TO pieces and flying fragments filled
the air. John Cowle head millwright, of
Waterloo was instantly killed and sew.

The shock was felt in the adjoining vii"

Many houses are reported to have been

ROYALIST APPREHENSION.

The Bulletin hastens to say that if
Liliuokalani is deported there will be a
howl of protest in America and that
the United States will "sit down heav-
lily" upon the Hawaiian "ilibusters."
Inasmuch as the daily prayer and the
midnight supplication of the Royalst
paper is for the United States to do
just that thing, we fail to see why our
contemporary should be alarmed and
grieved at plan which would work SO
much to its own and the Royal advan-
tage. Why warn the Government to 60
slow when by going fast and in the way
pointed out, it would compel America
to lay the heavy hand of arrest upon its
shoulder
The Bulletin is up to very cheap
tricks 1t knows quite well that the
American Government has declared
that it will not interfere in the dcmeS-
tic affairs of the Islands, except to pro
tect Americans As the exQueen is
not an American, and as the question
of her presence here is a purely do
nestle one, there is about as much
chance of the United States stepping
in in her behalf as there was of its
helping the cause of old Dom Pedro
at the time he was banished from
Brazil.
Regarding howl OF protest oyer
the deportation of the fallen sovereign,
that will be all in the Bulletins eye
rather than in its ear-enterprising and
as that ear may be.

No Rest For The Wicked.

St. Peter sat at the pearly gate, at the P. G
gate sat he,
And he saw in the distance a writing man,
A regular, travelling writing man,
Acoming along quite free. aha !" SEE he.
St. Peter showed the bolt in the lock and hung
up his golden key,
owe heard of that man before this time,
And | miss my guess if he will not pine
In vain to gel into societee-our sort of So
cietee.
The stranger reached the pearly gate, but no
one there he could see,
So he rang the bell and trod on the cat
And helplessly wondered where he was at,
But the gate didn't open. '"Te he!' Peter
said, ste hee !"
The Saint leaned his head DER the wall and
looked down,
And he said "You had better be off
Scat Mizzle Vamoose Your name is
Norhoff."
Old Peter said this, We'll remark with frown.
"But where shall take myself to ?" said the
man;
80 90 to old Nick" said Peter, by way
OF telling him where his kind usually stray,
"And put yourself under his ban Take a

But he said he'd no use for father Of lies,
He could fill that bill himself, it was clear"
81 expect he was jealous Of me, said the man,
Because in my writings below
As his rival hadn't been slow,
So advise what to do, il you can"
1t puzzled the Saint to know what was best
For whom heaven refused
And old Satan abused
Would find for his soul little rest.
But the problem was solved, though we do'Rt
like to pen it,
For with both Heaven and Tophet,
Both closed to Nordhoff, it
Seemed best to return him TO James Gordon
Bennett.

pressing disbelief in Mr.. Spreckers

able exposition of Mr.. SpreckePs views,
and of the situation here" This latter
phrase expresses a complete change OF
base, for if the situation here is what
the Sugar King says it is, then of course

sugar conspiracy must be counted

for it,

ment this morning, and tomorrow night
he will utter few words of parting to
the people of Hawaii.
During his official residence here,
Mr. Stevens has won the respect Of all

his good sense, his patriotism and his
exalted character. He will be remem-
bered with affectionate regard by his
countrymen here and by all others who
have the best political interests Of the
Islands at heart.
The STAR wishes him a pleasant
voyage home and an enthusiastic recep-
ton in Maine, and it predicts that it
it will not be long before his hope of
annexation will be realized.
Three cheers for the man who hauled
up the American flag
No paper is SO small and inconse-
quential in America, from the Bung
town Bird Of Freedom to the Slab
City Exbectorator, that it cannot cheer
the souls of the Royalist prints in
Hawaii whenever it sees fit to use its
immaterial space in maligning annex
alton. We are daily treated to extracts
from journals that no one ever heard OF
before nor will again, which extracts
are printed as evidences of American
public opinion" Not one of the
papers referred to is valued at home
for much else besides carpet-lining
and it is amusing enough to have them
paraded here as leaders of thought ir
the United States.
THERE is less illicit whiskey selling
less gambling, less opium smoking, les
prostitution and less police bribery il
this city now than there has been at am
time during the past five years.

THE AFRICAN IN THE WOOD
PILE.

Language appears to have been given
Mr.. Spreckels to conceal his thoughts.
He uses it copiously and is the delight
of the interviewer; but, alas as BELTS
a Talleyrand of the business world, he
holds his real ideas and motives in SO
secret a place that the sunlight of pub
licity rarely shines upon them.
Just now, Mr.. Spreckels is against
annexation. Does he tell why? To
listen to him by the hour one might
infer, if he was sufficiently green, that
it was because the Sugar King feared
that American law would cut off the
present supply of Asiatic labor. All
that, as Mr. Spreckels very well knows,
is Clotted nonsense; for why should the
Asiatic workingmen we now have leave
the Islands TO so back home where
they could not make a third of their
present wages? Why should one sup
pose that the unhindered Japanese
would not migrate hithcr, just as the
Irish, Italians and Hungarians do to
the Atlantic coast, tempted by the OPP.
portunity to improve their condition.
What is there in the contraCt-labor
law to prevent bureaus of immigration
from keeping the Japanese labor market
full?
OF course, Mr.. Spreckels knows all
this as well now as he did three months
ago when he came out for annexation
in the San Francisco papers but in
the meantime he has heard something
drop. The thing that dropped appears
to have been a suggestion. The sug-
gestion came, apparently, from his new
found friends of the Sugar Trust-a
monopoly which, as the initiated know,
has a very strong pull with his obse
quious organ, the New York Herald.
The terms of the little joker appear to
have been these: If annexation
comes, some syndicate will start big
sugar refneries on the Islands, whereat
You, Us and Company will have to
struggle for our monopolistic existence !"
Herein is the secret Of the whole
matter. Annexation might mean re-
fineries, refneries might mean com
petition, competition might mean loss
of dividends, and loss of dividends
would give Mr.. Spreckels that tired
feeling hence, though refneries would
help bestow an immense prosperity
upon the people of the Hawaiian ISL
ands, annexation, which might
secure them, must be beaten at any
hazard or at any cost.
Does our interesting old friend the
Refinery King remember the spectacle
the ostrich made of himself, when he
thought he had hidden his body by
thrusting his head into the sand
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1893-05-22
CHANGING HIS BASE.

When Mr.. Nordhoff began the re.
markable career Of fiction on these ISL
anGs which resulted in his letters to
the American edition of the London
Herald, he declared that the revolu.
ton of January 18th was an affair of
sugar planters. This correspondence
was spotted with the phrases "planter's
party" and he made the most Of every
suggestion which led to the postuate
that but for the greed of sugar men the
Queen would not have been eyicted
from her throne.
In his last letter to the Herald, all
this pretense of a cane growers con.
spracy has been abandoned, and we
find Mr. Nordhoff quoting, with great
appearance Of glee, the Sugar King
himself against the annexation move
ment Not only does he emphasize
Mr. Spreckels' own statement that San
nexation would ruin the sugar industry
on these Islands" but he brings out
this remarkable passage:
asked Mr.. Spreckels: " Are the
planters generally Of your mind on this
matter2" He replied; "Oh, yes"
Further along he quotes the Sugar
King as saying that he did not oppose
the annexation movement in the first
place because he "knew nothing Of it, +"
nor did his resident partner, "who was
then in New York" This is the same
resident partner, it should be noted,
whom Mr.. Nordhof elsewhere quotes

LIQUOR LICENSES.

If retail liquor licenses continue to
be sold, as we presume they will be,
they should be put up at auction and
disposed of to the highest bidder.
Under the monarchy the nine licenses
which the law allows went, in the main,
to a small group of royal favorites at
an upset price Of $1,000 each; and
this at times when others, not favorites
were ready to pay more than that figure
for them.
The STAR has received letter from
well known citizen of Honolulu in
which he says that he is willing to pay
a sum for retail license much in ex.
cess of the par value. l merely wan
fair chance for one" he says, land !
do not see why the Government should
continue in the Royal rut and deprive
itself of preniums by giving the ole
crowd a total monopoly"
Without going into the moral ques.
ton as to whether licenses are desirable
at all, the STAR can find no reason why
the contention cf its correspondent is
not Just. Certainly if piece of papel
which now brings the public treasury
$1,000 could be sold for $1,000, $I5oc
or $4,000, it would be hnanCia
blunder to adhere to the old price anc
ignore rising market.

SPECIAL CARE. I"

In his various apologies to those
whom he had libeled in his Herald
correspondence, Mr.. Nordhof speaks
Of the Especial care" he thought
he had used in collecting data
for his personal attacks. Especial
care" implies a good deal and one
would not naturally suppose that man
who used it in framing assaults upon a
given person woald at once forget that
persons name. 1t will be observed
that in his Hogs correspondence Mr..
NOrdhoh' first apologized to William r.
Castle, Mr.. Hoog's attorney, under the
impression that Mr.. Castle was the
man he had, with special care, " picked
out as a lottery signer In to-days
correspondence the Herald preCisionist
apologies to . James Lansing instead
of Theodore F. Lansing, whom he
had named in his offensive letter 1t
is very evident from all this that his
especial care " phrase is a convenient
subterfuge to cover the fact that he
took his data from the Royalists, who
wanted to deceive him, and that he
really does not clearly know of whom
he has been writing.
And this is the man upon whose
reputation for painstaking veracity
rests SO much of the logic of the anti
annexation cause in the United States.
