LONDON, Jan. 30.-The question of
the proposed annexation of Hawaii by
the United States continues to be a
prominent subject of discussion in
political circles and in the newspapers.
The Globe, tory organ, says this after
noon that the annexation of Hawaii
may result in bringing the United
Stntes into foreign relations at variance
with the whole of their traditional
policv and cause friction and conflict
between them and the English colo
mics. american aggression in the
Pacific adds the Globe, would occa-
sion Australian remonstrance, to which
the British government would be com
PEELED to listen. The internal affairs
of Hawaii will settle themselves the
sooner, the sooner it is more clearly
understood that they are not to be
made a temptation to the United
States to commit most uncharacter-
stc act of folly"

STOLE THE BANKS FUNDS.
Omcials of tho Anglo-American Bank
Charged with Embezzlement.

Officials of tho Anglo-American Bank
Charged with Embezzlement.
PARIS, Jan. 3O.-There is great in
terest in the Anglo-American colony in
Paris in the trial which commenced in
the Assize court to-day. Three
former officials of the Anglo-Ameri-
can bank are charged with having
misappropriated funds of the bank.
The ex officials are James II. Hobson
and Samuel j. Gormann, both Ameri-
cans, and Francois Martinelli, an
Italian. Gormann and Martnelli will
not attend in court, as they are beyond
its jurisdiction. Hobson alone will ap-
pear to answer the charge.
The Anglo-American Bank was
founded some four years ago, with the
object of establishing branches in
various centers of America and Eu-
rope, doing general banking bust
ness. The head Office is at New York,
the European branch in Paris Mr..
Hobson was made manager and Mr..
Martinelli cashier. The bank COM
menced operations in June, 1889.
At general meeting of the sAare-
holders, in New York last year, it was
resolved that Gormann, Hobson and
Martinelli should be replaced. The
90 Ice authorities in Paris ordered that
an examination of the banks books
should be made by an expert The
result was that Hobson, who had re.
NAMED in Paris, was eventually ar.
rested. 1t was alleged that Hobson,
whose salary was 5000 francs a year,
with interest and profits, appropriated
something over 10000 francs Of Che
funds of the bank. Hobson denies this.
Similar charges are made against Cor
mann and Martinelli.

PITTSBURG, Pa. Jan. 30-Eyer since
the arrival of Andrew Carnegie from
Europe he has been hesieged by news
paper men for an expression upon the
recent troubles at Homestead, but he
steadfastlv refused to be interviewed.
In conversation with a correspondent
yesterday, however, Mr. Carnegie
talked freely on the subject.
Il did not come TO Pittsburg," said
he,s ''to rake up but to try to bury the
past, of which l knew nothing. That
is beyond recall; it should be banished
as a horrid dream, and only the les
sons that it teaches laid to heart for
the future. For twenty-six years our
concerns have run with only one labor
stoppage at one of it's numerous works

record will be fully equalled in the
twenty five years to come.
