Chris Won der Abe, president Of the st.

yesterday morning from Hot Springs. He
says he has leased the base ball park at

In reference tG the new organizat ton,

you imagine a weaker organization having
any show against the National League?
To show there Is nothing in it, l received

it as a fraud, and 1t is only the cast-offs

THEY WANT TO
BE ANNEXED.
CHANGE OF SENTIMENT ON THE
ISLANDS.
Bill for Constitutional Convention
VIII Be Considered This Week
Permanent Government Promised
at an Early Date.

Honolulu. March 31.-A decided
change is noticeable in the native senti-
ment. The advocates of royalty have
come to the conclusion that there is 20
hope whatever for the restoration Of
the queen, and the natives, left to their
natural bent, are coming out for annex
alton to the United States, as they
would have done at first but for the
royalist influence. 1t is said the queen
will advocate it in the hope of receiv-
ing some form of bounty. being in
financial straits, and that native
petition will soon be prepared asking
for annexation, and sent to President
Cleveland, and that Liliuokalani will
send trusted agent to lay the matter
before him.
The provisional government remains
firm in the belief that it is acting for
the best interests of the people at large.
and without the least fear of being
overturned. 1t is the intention of the
government to proceed at once toward
the formation of a representative and
stable form of government, as evil
denced by the bill lately introduced
into the councils calling for a consti-
tutional convention. If it becomes
necessary to wait for annexation until
government more favorable to that
end shall control the destinies of the
United States, the present government
can take of itself until that period does
arrive.
The bill creating a constitutional
convention will receive its second and
final reading at next Tuesdays meet.
ing of the councils. There will be nc
delay of any nature toward carrying
out the requirements of the measure
and as soon as possible action toward
nominating and voting for delegate.
and calling the convention to order will
be taken. 1t is the purpose of the gov
eminent to emerge from the provis
ional state and take on a permanent
form without delay. Members of tht
1 government incline to the belief tina
annexation is likely to occur under tht
, Cleveland administration, provided tn,
proper conditions can be brough
about and it is hoped, with some de
gree of success, that the petition of tn,
natives for annexation will aid tn,
