 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. e0.-The steamer and Samoa via Honolulu. She brings full Hawaiian advices nearly a week later than previous dispatches, as follows;
 Since the sailing of the steamer political affairs have been a drug in Honolulu. The government has been pursuing a waiting policy on the ground that no definite ao- tion can be taken here until some definite policy regarding Hawaii has been aunouno- ed by the United States.
 The candidacy of Walter c. Smith, edi- tor of The Star, to All the vacancy to b~ created upon the return of Hon. F. M Hatch, who will resign to accept the posi- ton of minister of foreign affairs, still holds a prominent place in Hawaiian poli tics. Objections are urged to Hatch as the representative of sugar corporations and attorney for Claus Spreckels As stated In our last dispatch, the fight is virtually one between the radical and conservative clements of nnexationists.
 wnii. and MiiIs snubbed-
 Both Minister Willis and Consul Gen. eral Mills appear to bc sore on account of the personal snubbing they claim the American residents here gave them lately. The government has determined to cele- brate Jan. 1T as a holiday, and prepara- tions being made to carry out big demonstration, which will include a mili- tary display in the afternoon and a torch light procession and fireworks at night.
 Both the American league and the An nexation club will take part, as will also the new German political organization to be organized in favor of annexation. The question of republic still occupies atten- tion, but the government delays action, awaiting absolute rejection of Hawaii's hopes by the United States congress
 Rumors of an expected royalist uprising have been prevalent recently. In sn inter view with Marshal Hitchcock that officer said:
 .sTho government is fully prepared to meet any outbreak either here or on other islands. The royalists have threatened SO long that the royal standard would he raised on one of the other islands that we have prepared 10 thoroughly squelch any uprising that may be made either through Irresponsible persons or through the ln- fuence of the Spseckels- Cornwell faction" !"
 The marshal also said: "Thc royslists have sent several lobbyists to the United States lately, and understand that Hon. c. w. Ashford goes by the Monowai to ap- pear before a committee of congress at Its present session. Ashford was preceded by Hon. E. c. MacFarlane and Arthur Peter son, accompanied by Hon. Sam Parker, for the avowed purpose of eulisting Claus Spreckels in the lobby campaign in favor of restoration"
 Dole and wnii. Again. Al. All. wal sensational rumor was current, which was traced to an authoritative source, that few days after President Dole's reply was delivered to Minister Willis and before full details of Willis demand and Dole's reply had become public, Willis called on Dole and endeavored to persuade him to return all of his (WillisO correspondence | on the subject of restoration, and to ex- punge from the records Dole's reply and | everything pertaining to the subject, and ! to maintain absolute secrecy about the | whole transaction. Dole flatly refused to | enter into such plan. and it Is said that | Willis then attempted to force Dole to act according to his wishes, threatening to take the American mau-of-war out of the harbor and practically bres saf diplomatic relations between the Uni,S.i States and | Hawaii. Dole still refused to enter into tne proJcCt, anu W HIS alieRsu Atbelhpt bu | nullify his restoration policy failed. Republic Proposed.
 The most important news is the prefcct- | ing of arrangements for the formation of a republic. The general outline of the new | government is modelled after that of the | United States. The only marked differ ence is In the franchise for the lower house. | An educational and property qualification Is to be placed on the votes for president, vice president and senatora
 l The franchise for election of members oi | the lower house will be without other qual. | ifcation than ability to read and write | English. This would let in the Hawaiians Portuguese and most of the Japanese. The | power Is to be invested in tue executive | and the cabinet Is to act in connection with | the upper house or senate In case the lower
 house should refuse to enact necessary leg | islatiou or i'd caso of deadlock or the at tempted passage of obnoxious or special
 legislation.
