A FUNNY DIPLOMAT.

Although. Mr.. J. L. Stevens
lately has been considered the
champion blunde rer in the corps

inclined to believe that our own
diplomat Mr.. L. a Thurston
can beat him hollow We will
not mention his appearance IN

ing the government to which he
is accredited. but simply call
attention to the absurdity OF q
diplomatic representative leaving
his post srifho at permissioR from
his home government and IN a
most critical moment. and then
running home. Forsooth, Lorrin
Andrews Thurston must have
received his lessons in diplomatic
etiquette in the same school
where Lorrin Andrews learned
his manners.

FOUND
AN HONEST MAN IN
THE ANNEXATION
CLUB.

Mr.. Chas. L. Carter has a
letter in the last nights Star in
which he as a member of the
| annexation club strongly objects
to that body assuming power to
dictate to the government and
to present nominations for office
in the name of the club. Mr..
| Carter voices the sentiments not
alone of the sensible part of
the whole community. but es-
pecially of a majority of the in
telligent members of the club.
The annexation club is simply
a political organization the OBJ
ject of which is to support the
Provisional Government in its
efforts to secure annexation to
the United States. As such it
has a perfectly legitimate stand

been swelled by the names

and men. dead and buried (by

officers of the club presume to
order the government around as
their servants, and demand seat
IN the councils for one of their
own body the clab goes beyond
the boundaries of decency, and it
is very appropriate and fortunate
that man of Mr.. C.L. Carter's
standing comes forward and cries
halt. That the officers of the
club-the members are never
consulted-are suffering from
enlarged heads and swelling with
their own imaginary importance
is a welI-known fact, and of
course their high appreciation of
their own value has not been
reduced after reading Mr.. Dole's
finishing clause in his brief to
Minister Willis.
Mr. Dole uses the following
tragico-comic sentence:

WHAT OF HAWAII {?
DO Official Advices Confirm the
News from Auckland?
(By Associated PressD

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The State De
partment has declined to give the pur-
port OF its advices which came by the
Corwin, but 1t is now generally accepted
that they fully confirm the cable re-
ceived by the Associated Press from
Auckland, Thursday night.
A theory which gains most support is
based on the belief that the last instruc-
tions sent to Minister Willis contem-
plated further action by the Administra-
tion.
1t is thought that the Queen, finally
seeing that her cause would be lost un-
less she accepted the conditions i'm
posed by Minister Willis for her restora-
ton, accepted them as contained in his
published instructions. and notified him
that she would grant amnesty to mem
bers of the Provisional Government II
she again became Queen.
Minister Willis thereupon. it is be.
lieved, carried out his instructions and
notified President Dole that 1t was the
desire of the United States Government
that the Provisional Government should
surrender in favor of Liliuokalani.
