HE CHANGED HIS MIND.
A Hawaiian Who Now Wants Annex.
alton.

We have been permitted to read a
letter from Honolulu sent to gentle
man of this city by leading Hawaiian
politician, who until recently was an
opponent of annexation and a sup
porter of the ex-Queen, and whose
picture has been printed in the Herald
as that of determined anti-annexatlon-
ist. This patriotic native of Hawaii,
in his letter to his correspondent in
New York, writes thus:
"We Hawaiians are ANXIOUS to know what
our destiny is to be, and what is Cleveland
policy, so far as we are concerned. | was not
at first in favor OF annexation, which, as | am
pleased to know, is advocated in America by
The SWl but, after due consideration, | have
come to the conclusion that annexation, pure
and simple, is the only salvation for our Ha-
wall. ! am now, therefore, a rank annexa-
ZIONIST.
This correspondent, as we learn, is
not the only Hawaiian of importance
who, after seeing his picture in the
Herald, has changed his views on the
subject of annexation. He is a man
Of large influence.
We regret to say that we cannot give
him the information which he desires
concerning president Cleveland's pol
icy" in the case of Hawaii We should
like to be able to offer the assurance
that this policy will be that which, as
the Hawaiian writer says, holds out the
only hope for the salvation of Hawaii
But we can only say to him, in the
plaintive old language of his native
country "Aloha nui loa - New

WILLIS IN SAN FRANCISCO.
He Says the Policy of Cleveland Will
Soon Be Made Known.

The inference drawn from a talk
with Albert 5. Willis, the new Minister
to Hawaii, is that the Islands will not
be annexed during President Cleve-
lands administration.
Minister Willis arrived on the over,
land train yesterday and registered at
the Occidental Hotel. He is accom-.
panied by Mrs. Willis and their little
boy.
As diplomat accredited to foreign
land he was very guarded in his state
ments as to the policy which this Gov
eminent would pursue toward Hawaii,
When asked if it would not soon be
necessary for President Cleveland to
announce his policy with reference to
the Hawaiian Islands, Minister Willis
replied that the time was near at hand
so near, in fact, that the decision OF
President Cleveland would probably be
made known upon his arrival in Homo
lulu.

structions on the annexation question:
and as he and his family intend to re-
side in the Hawaiian Islands for ar
extended period, going there with ar
appointment of Minister, it is evident
that the instructions are adverse to the
hopes of the anneXationists.
Mr.. Willis declined to make state
ment with reference to the Washington
dispatch which stated that President
Cleveland favored protectorate.

coast is strongly in favor Of AnneXa

lations between San Francisco and
Honolulu are such that annexation
must have ardent advocates in this city
Then, the desirabiity of the possession
of the Islands for naval purposes ap.
peals strongly to many Americans. As
the accredited Minister, however, il
would be unwise for me to outline ir
advance the policy which the American
Government may pursue toward Ha

TWO GREAT SHIPS.
Peixoto Has a Navy OF His Own
Now

New YORK, October 27.-President
Peixoto of Brazil evidently does not
intend to let his success rest on half
measures. Tonight it leaked out that
FL Rio, the sister ship of FL Cid, had
been sold to the same people who
bought the last named vessel 1t is
true that this rumor could not be
positively confirmed, but there is little
doubt of its truth. FL Rio is in every
apparent particular similar to FL Cid
and can be altered into an exceedingly
fast and efficient warship. She has
never made as fast passage from New
Orleans as FL Cid, but is believed to
be equal to her in speed. e. Rio is
on her way here from New Orleans
and will arrive on Tuesday.
An extra large force of men was busy
all day to-day unloading the FL Cid
and preparing her for delivery to her
new masters, and at 7 o'clock tonight
the work was finished. Before that
hour, however, she had been turned
over to her purchasers, who did not
appear at the wharf, but sent their
orders to the captain. In accordance
with these instructions the third officer,
one quartermaster, and three sailors
were discharged. The rest were re-
tanned until to-day in order that they
might clean out the ship The captain,
first and second officers, the other two
quartermasters and six more sailors will
leave tomorrow as soon as this work
is done.
The purchase of Fl Rio makes it
practically certain that Peixoto is the
purchaser of FL Cid and of the arms
contracted for recently Admiral de
Mello could not buy ships in this way
with the least hope of being able to
use them, although he might obtain
arms in some secret manner. As a
matter of course none of the firms here
connected with the matter will say any.

REPEAL FORCES WIN.
The Silver Question is by This Time
Settled.

WASHINGTON, October 24.-At 1890
O'Clock Senator Harris, acting for the
silver Democrats, informed the silver
Republicans that the Democrats had
concluded and decided, after taking all
the circumstances into consideration,
that their best course was to drop the
fight against repeal and allow it to come
to a vote.
If this decision is not reconsidered,
and it does not seem at all probable
that it will be, the end of the present
fight will soon be reached and the result
will be in accordance with the Presi-
dents wishes and those Of the repeal
forces of the Senate.
The silver Republicans will not un.
dertake to prolong the fight beyond the
time necessary to complete their speech.
es, and will after that permit the voting
to begin on the amendments on the
bill. 1t is generally believed this will
take place before the end Of the week.
The Republican silver Senators say
their course will depend entirely on the
Democratic silver Senators. They have
said from the beginning whenever the
Democrats should refuse to aid them in
obstructive measures, they would allow
the voting to begin.
There was a conference during the
forenoon of some of the repeal leader,
of the House, but the precise nature Of
the meeting could not be ascertained
New YORK, October 24-The news
of the surrender of the silver men in
the Senate was received in Wall street
about ? o'clock. 1t found the market
with strong upward tendency, which
became rush, resulting in decided
advance.

Clean Up.

Spring cleaning is mans honor and
woman's delight enjoyed as duty per-
formed. Turning the house out of doors
is necessary evil out of which comes a
positive good. 1t is sanitary, and sani-
tation is wanted all over the country, par
ticularly before the cholera season comes
on. Not that cholera is very likely to
overtake us In these mountain chambers,
but something very much like it has been
epidemic here, occasionally, and cleanli-
ness is foe to disease in various forms,
cholera and its kindred included.
Public as well as private sanitation is a
demand of the times. Every city and
hamlet in the country ought to pay atten-
ton to it, especially this year, when SO
many people are coming to this land from
foreign parts, and when danger from out
breaks of cholera still exists, involving
peril to people on both sides of the At
lantic.
Filth is generally admitted to be a
breeder of disease germs. They love
darkness rather than light, because their
deeds are deadly, and they luxuriate in
dirt and decay. The municipal authori-
ties everywhere should make it business
to have thorough spring cleaning. All
the alleys and holes and corners should be
inspected and cleaned out. That dry
earth system for closets should be estah-
lished and enforced within the bounds of
the city outside of the sewer districts.
The county authorities ought to carry on
the work as far as their jurisdiction ex-
tends, and burn or bury ell waste matter
or cause it to be destroyed wherever they
can exercise their power.
But public work in this direction will
not accomplish great deal unless the
people do their part in individual effort
around their premises. A general clean
up viii be general benefit, irrespective
of danger from cholera or any other
dreaded visitation. If everybody will
perform this duty the effects Will be de-
light whether the work is pleasant or not.

The Telenhone Patents,

In view of the general interest taken in
the expiration of the telephone patents,
and the current speculation as to it's effect
upon the present telephone situation,
The HERALD prints the following extract
from an interview with Mr.. GRosvENoR
P. LowREY in the New York Times, and
which was afterwards embodied in q
lengthy article from the same gentleman
in the Electrical ReU5eac.
This article becomes of peculiar inter-
est when it is understood that Mr..
LowREY has acted as counsel on the part
of the United States in the larger num-
Der of suits brought against the Bell
Telephone company for the annulment
of several patents, and also as attorney in
most of the individual suits for priority
of patents brought against that COM
pany.
In his article in the Electrical ReuieU,
which is too long to be reproduced here in
full, Mr.. LoWREY takes occasion to fully
vindicate the course of Attorney General
GARLAND in the famous Pan Electric
suits, wherein, it will be remembered, it
was insinuated that Mr.. GARLAND's ac-
tivity in the prosecution of those suits
was stimulated by personal interests in
the Pan Electric company. In this con-
nection Mr.. LowREY says: 81 do not hes
itate to declare that the sPan Electeic'
talk of that time and especially the insin-
nations against Attorney General GAR
LAND, and other public officials, in re-
spect to that litigation, were as ground
less and cruel as if were charged today
with having been Interested in the North
ampton bank robbery"
The Times article reads
While the expiration of telephone
patents, viewed as matter of current
news, has some interest. it is not thought
by those qualified to judge that the Bell
Telephone company has anything to fear
from rivals. Grosvenor P. Lowry, whose
prominence IN telephone litigation gives
his opinions value, and who has figured
always as an opponent of the Bell peo-
pie, said Saturday night that he could not
see that the present monopoly was in any
