MoRg rRoueLE IM HAWAII.
The Japanese Contingent Plotting n Raid
ON the Government.

SAN Francisco, May lit is proba-
BILE that the next sixty days will de-
velop some very exciting scenes in Ha-
wall. Private information recently re-
ceived by C. w. Ashford, in this city,
indicates that trouble is gathering
around the government of President
Dole and his colleagues. The Japa-
nese, who are numerous on the island
and who at present are feverish and
elated over the victory OF the mother
country in the war with China, threaten
to come forward and become serious
factors in the government of Hawaii
and the adjustment of its affairs. 1t is
known that among the Japanese on the
islands are several hundred trained SOL
diers. In fact, there are enough to
seize and control the government at
any time, should they so choose. The
natives are restless and dissatisfied and
only wait an opportunity to fly into the
thick of another insurrection.

Judge Simonton has once declared that this

in going so far in trying to overthrow the law
the judge has been improperly influenced. The
dispensary system is popular in the state
and is being watched with much keen interest
by the people outside with the al
most absolute certainty of being
adopted by other states. that the bar-keepers

quickest and best way to havecthe supreme
