PRESIDENT DoLE's judicial an
alysis of the claim of Minister Viii
lis that the letter in which Mr..
Gresham proposed to subvert this
Government embodied a domestic
transaction" of no concern to the
Hawaiian authorities, affords note
worthy page in the records of Ha-
waiian diplomacy. The phrase do
nestle transaction, as applied TO
matter Of supreme international
consequence, was as unfortunate
for Willis as a diplomat as the
tariff a-local-issue conclusion of
General Hancock was for that dig
nitary as a political economist. 1t
will be remembered that the eX-
preston cost Hancock the Presi-
dency. As to Willis, his descriptive
phrase has probably cost him several
bad quarters of an hour, and in any
other political relation than the
American diplomatic service, in
which not the best discretion is
looked for, it would have cost him
very much more.

THE troops in charge of the i'm
mediate seat of Government have,
for a second time, been poisoned by
something in the food which was
supplied them at the common mess.
The first occasion was in April
last, when Company E of the
regulars was taken down with
symptoms of mineral poisoning.
The men had been eating of timed
food, and for want of a better rea-
son their sickness was attributed to
that. In the present instance, the
same company had used no canned
edibles, but many of its members
have succumbed to a malady, the
symptoms Of which are identical
with those diagnosed in the first
instance. The STAR hesitates to
believe that any one has tried to
kill the soldiers by the use of
poison, but it must be admitted
that, by means of the milk supply
and the access of people to the gal
ley, the way is open for a great
deal of dastardly work. Before
going into that matter, however it
might be we'll to examine the quality
of the mess provender and look
into the manner in which the cook
ing utensils are kept. Therein
may he clue.

THE ErEICr ON SUGAR.
What the Wilson Bill Means to Great
Industry.

The recent passage in the House of
the amendment to the Wilson tariff
bill. virtually placing all sugar on the
free list means consequences Of the
gravest importance to the sugar and
widespread affiliated interests ON this
coast. The measure has yet to he
passed upon by the Senate. and the
dire fOrebOdings as to the result. should
the action of the House be confirmed,
appear justified by the statements of
local sugar men.
A representative of the j. ID. Spreck
els & Bros. Company said yesterday
that the Pacific Coast would be II seri-
Gus sufferer if the bounty on beet sugar
were abolished and the duty taken off
refined sugar.
1t means" said he, "that sugar
will be on the free list, which will at
once admit the German and Hong.
Kong product to run our home industry
out of existence. This is especially
true of the sugar from Hong-KOng.
Take the rcfineries at HOng-kOng, for
instance. In the first place. they are
much nearer their base of supplies, the
Philippines and Sumatra. Then the
cost of labor is almost nominal, while
the freight to this coast is only $50 II
ton. 1t costs us, on the other hand, 81
per ton for refining alone.
Another effect of the passage Of
this amendment will be to injure San
Francisco as the principal distributing
port of the Pacific Coast. Hitherto
She has maintained that position, and
the handling of sugar and its shipping
have constituted biz factors in san
Francisco's revenues. If sugar Is inn
ported, only sufficient will come to this
port to supply California and Nevada;
the rest will go To Tacoma. Portland
and Los Angeles.
The amendment will practically
close our California refneries. Few
people understand what blow that
will mean to labor, not only in this city.
but in other portions of the State.

THAT IMPROVED TONE.
More Reasons why Godfrey should Have
IL Government Subsidy.

Government Subsidy.
Frank Godfrey whose improvement
OF the tone oi the Holomud was MIR.
Emmeluth's reason for wishing the
Government to subsidize his private
business enterprise, was present by invi-
tation at the open meeting OF the
American League and reported it in his
improved" way as follows:
"The so-called American, League sent
an invitation to the HOlOmud to have a
representative OF that paper at Il politi-
cal talk held at its rooms last evening.
In response Il HOiOmuO man was present
and reports that: The meeting was
large, respectable and very orderly one.
On the platform the visagcs OF men who
were not in accord with the people was
most noticeable. The Thurstonian plan
of patting the uncivilized ON the back
was put in force by sam Damon, who
mali muIiGG with the kids
by saying that they Should have
representation in the Councils.
Sam neither treated nor drank.
Other people followed in him, better
men than Sam Except SMITH who also
voiced their Glove for the dear people"
Mr.. Magoon, who has lately obtained
reputation, came to the fore as a fighter
for the lost cause, but his remarks were
overshadowed with the mist of doubt
and looked very much like special plead
ing to evade fine. Mr.. T. b. Murray,
the proprietor of the League, and his
assistants, did all in their power to make
the show success. and as there was no
entrance fee they can be credited with
being I'm IT. with both feet.

used to be a Commissioner of lmmigra-
ton under King KaIakuua, spoke ABOUT

what Colonel Shaftcr Has to say ~
Himself

Colonel w. II. Shafter has not re-
ceived any overtures from President
Dole to take command Of the army of
the Hawaiian Provisional Government.
He said yesterday that the rumor that
such an offer had been made was in
correct. and that. moreover, it would
be Eprcposter Gus to suppose that he
would accept the command of the
troops Of that or any other foreign
Government.

but these were qualified by other cir
cumstances, and the officers went by
consent of this Government. Yes. sew
eral officers of the Confederate army
were in the SOudun and elsewhere. but
this would be an entirely different situ-
alton of affairs

FILLED AN ORDER FOR A WIFE.


Days in Hawaii.
Capt. Palmer, in writing to his paper,
the Boston Transcript, about the early
trade between Boston and Honolulu,
speaks of house in the former city
which made it Il rule to fill any order
it should get ON missionary account
whether it kept the goods in stock or
moi. I'm this way says the writer.
"the firm kept customer from open
ing an account with "a rival concern.
Sometimes the shipments were enor-
nous and sometimes almost ludicrous.
A thousand stand of arms to a foreign
potentate, some little power of South
America, is an example Of the former.
OF the latter ii occurs to me to mention
that most important requirement of IA
Protestant missionary; namely, wife.
The concern was equal to the emerg-
ency, and the next packet which sailed
for Honolulu took out that joy Of the
missiOnary's hearth and home; her
outfit, passage-mOney, and all her be-
longings going through Mr.. Buffers
ledger.
Her safe arrival was duly chrOnicled,
and the debtor discharged himself of
the claim of the shipper. Whether the
goods wore well or proved unsatisfac-
tory viii never be known it was one of
those cases whore no return to ths ex-
porter WIS possible"

Capt. Julius a. Farmer Jr., has been
giving his views of the native side of
the Hawaiian case in letters to the
Boston Transcript. Writing from San
Francisco ON the eve of his departure
for Honolulu he said:
- You came here" say the Hawaii
ans, with but one ayowed purpose-to
teach us. you said, of that God who
made of one blood all mankind. We lis
tened to you. First you directed our ru-
lcrs: it was you who forbade our native
sports, our free use of the ocean, the
free use of our own limbs, the right to
play if we wished. not six, but seven
days in the week; you virtually seized
our government through the elder
Judd, who resigned. nOminally from
your ministry that he might own our
king, and it was only the guns of Eng
land and France, that forced you to re-
lax in that form your hold: you then be-
gan more craftily: you followed the
course of your Puritan predecessors
with the AbOrigines of New England
you acquired by foreign capital all our
best lands: we gave you a voice in our
Government, although YOU were the
pettiest of numerical minorities: and
now, having decimated us from POO. 0OO
to 10000 by your rigorous civilization,
you hurl our queen from her throne,
drive each and all of us from power and
take away our name from its place
amongst the nations of the earth. And
you do all this in the name of religion
in the name Of the Master yon have
told us counselled to his followers pow
erty and chastity
