HAWAIIANs HOLD OUT.
Natives Will Not Take the Oath
Japs and Chinese Hostile.

Natives Will Not Take the Oath
Japs and Chinese Hostile.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 25. - The
steamship Australia arrived today,
bringing Hawaiian advices. No trouble
has occurred since the sailing of the
Philadelphia. The war between Japan
and China has resulted in meeting be-
tween Fujli, the Japanese consul, and
Goo Kim, who represents the Chinese
government. and both have absolutely
forbidden their countrymen to discuss
the war, as there are so many of each
race in the Islands there may be serious
trouble, as the feeling seems to be very
bitter. However, each consul has
supreme power over his subjects. and
a conflict may be avoided, though re-
ports from the various plantations
where Chinese and Japanese work to-
gether are not very encouraging.
The registration of voters under the
laws of the new republic is proceeding,
but rather slowly. The great majority
Of those who register are white. The
natives are still under the influence of
their leaders, and will not come in.
The question is a puZZling one to the
government. Not enough Hawaiians
are to be found who are willing to take
the oath necessary to enable them to do
jury duty, and it is probable the councils
will pass law which will enable the
white men to try native cases.

GOOD BULGE IN WHEAT.
Oats Are Firmer, and Pro-
visions but Slightly
Changed.
HEAVY TONE IN STOCKS.
The Greatest Loss Recorded
in the Shares Of the
Whisky Trust.

CHICAGO. Aug. 25.-Bulls in wheat
and corn again took courage today. and
the grain markets closed firm. The
crop damage scare was prominent
factor in corn, and this and other bull
ish news helped wheat. Corn closed
with gain of &c for September.
Wheat finished &c higher for December,
and September oats are go higher.
Provisions closed with but little change.
Wheat opened firm, In the face of
much encouragement in the matter Of
receipts. present and prospective, but
upheld as against that by the firm tone
of the Liverpool market and the num-
Der of letters received by the commits
sion houses from country correspon-
dents relating to very general and
increasing use of wheat for food. De-
cember started with buyers at 573sc,
being the price asked for it as the mar
ket was closing yesterday. Some
brought 5719c, and 1t then became too
plentiful. sagging to 574@5756c. 1t
frmed up again, and about an hour
from the start it was again wanted at
soc.
The recovered tone of the corn mar
ket and the sharp bulge 10 the price of
that article near the close caused the
local shorts in wheat good deal of I'M
easiness. and they, in their alarm,
bought so vigorously that the market
rose to 575se tor December, and closed
up strong at 57Ac. The corn market
recovered the bullishness which it lost
yesterday. There was an absence of
rain in the greater part of the corn belt,
which appeared to encourage some
more buying on country account.
Some local shorts also helped by
their purchases the advance in prices
which occurred. The receipts Of
only 224 carloads this morning in place
of $50 as estimated yesterday gave I'M
easiness to few who had the temerity
on the day before to sell some short.
Boyden 81 Go. bought some September
early. and Congdon was buying with
good deal of confidence near the close.
There was good advance Immediately
at the opening, the nervousness Of those
who had September short to cover
quickly spreading into the May deal
ingS. The market was rather inactive
on the middle of the short session. but
it became quite animated near the close,
and 1t was strong at the same time
September opened at 541ac. rose irregu-
larry to 551lc. and closed at 55c bid.
May started at 521a, with safe or two
at 52114c. 1t advanced to 53c, and closed
at $3.50.
Corn continued to govern oats. which
ranged narrowly. but the sympathy did
net extend as far as it has heretofore.
|. September closed at 304c, after having
sold at 90@301sc. May ranged from 35c
to 3514c, closing at the high price.
The nrOviSiOn tranp was NOT vary
active, and the tendency of prices was
generally downward until near the
close, when the bulge in wheat and corn
caused rally and sold what January
stuff was wanted by spectators. Pork
for January closed unchanged.

to Buffalo, and 1c for oats to Port

PORTLAND, Or, Aug: 25. The Port
Townsend steamer Chilcat, from Ju-.
Leau. Alaska, reports the steamship
Queen ashore on the rocks at Point
Gordon, the east end of the Cormorant
islands. She went ashore at II O'Clock
Thursday night, at half tide, in a
thick fog. On the shore. which is COW
cred with large, rugged boulders, the
steamer is in sheltered position, and
is in no danger OF heavy seas. Capt.
Carroll says that the Queen was not
making water, but the crew and passen-
gers of the Chilcat said that the pumps
were actively discharging considerable
water, and that the vessels keel was
certainly stove in. The Queen had
been on the rocks twenty-five hours,
