The trade winds will extend further
north than the previous year. Winds
and heavy mists will prevail along
the American coasts. Vessels bound
for the American coast may expect
heavy rain squalls in passing through
the region of the doldrums. TyphOons
may be experienced in the China sea.
An interesting feature of the chart
is table of ocean distances, in which
it is shown that the route to YOko-
hama from the Western terminus of
the proposed Nicaragua canal is
shorter by way of San Francisco than
by Honolulu. The shortest practical
route from Brito, Nicaragua, to YokO-
hama, is 7141 knots, by way of San
Francisco it is eighty-nine knots
more, while by way of Honolulu che
distance is 374 knots more than by
San Francisco. The shortest practical
route from Brito to Hongkong is S740
knots; by way of San Francisco it is
twenty knots further, while that by
way of Honolulu is 56S knots more
than by San Francisco.

Scheme to Blow the Dole Govern
ment Out of Existence.
Conspirators Have Three Places OF
Meeting in 'FriscO-SuspiciOus Nes-
sells Watched - Favorable Comment
on President DOle's Message.

SAN FRANCISCO, June %. - That
Hawaiian exiles in this city are
scbeming to restore royalty to power
in the Sandwich islands admits of
very little doubt, but the cOnspirators
are exceedingly shrewd. There are
many rumors as to how they propose
to do their work, but they manage to
keep themselves clear of arrest. The
men who have lived for years on the
tribute paid to maintain a monarchy
are now beginning to find themselves
in straitened circumstances, and un-
less they can successfully bring about
a revolution they see hard work or
starvation close at hand. In short,
they are becoming desperate. The
eXiles in this city have three head
quarters, from which they send out
representatives to gain strength for
their cause. They claim to have the
promise of several rich planters of the
Sandwich islands to aid them in their
project.
The eXiles have a down town rem
devious and two meeting places in the
Mission district, one of the latter be-
ing on Valencia street, near Twenty
first, and the other a store not many
blocks away, known among the initi-
ated as the "EXiles' Store" The men
who congregate in these places claim
that they have already sent one cargo
of ammunition for the use of the roy
alists in Honolulu to restore them
selves to power, and that two other
expeditions of similar character are
on foot. Every vessel leaving this
port without having a well known
destination has been put under sus-
piciOn. The yacht Aggie, which won
many a race from the notorious smug-
gler, Halcyon, has been suspected in
some quarters of having been en-
gagged to take a trip to Honolulu to
land arms and ammunition to aid the
royalists in Overturning the Dole
Government.
This suspicion, however, is not
credited in Seattle, where it is under
stood that the yacht has been pur-
chased for pleasure-seeking alone.
What might happen if the owner
could be induced to charter the yacht
is another matter. 1t is thought in
some quarters that the royalist con-

trim and fleet Aggie.
The royalists here claim that the
first cargo of arms and ammunition
has already been landed on an island
near Honolulu, and that, when the
two other vessels arrive with their
supplies, such an assault will be made
on Honolulu that the Provisional
Government will be broken to pieces.
Just what vessels are to be used in
the plot, or which one has already been
used, cannot be determined at present,
but some people think that the
schooner yacht Vine, which left this
port in January last on ghost-like
trip after treasure island, had arms
and ammunition on board, notwith-
standing the statement to the con-
trary of Captain J. Z. Burns, her part
OWNER and at one time commander.

THE LAST STONE LAID.

the Great Canal.

the Great Canal.
HoLTENAU, June q After visiting
the Russian cruiser Rurik at 8 80
O'Clock today Emperor William laid
the last stone of the Baltic and North
Sea canal in the presence of many
thousands of spectators. The weather
was brilliant and the ceremony took
place in the open air and not in the
lighthouse adjoining the sluices, as at
first contemplated.
The scene of the ceremony was en-
bellished by handsome designs in
landscape gardening and the light
house standing close to the spot
showed the three bronze reliefs of EN-
peror William /, Frederick III and
William II. Under the relief medal
lion of Emperor William L is black
marble tablet, on which is engraved
in gilt lettering:

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
Apparent That the Republic Can Take
Care of Itself.

President Dole's message is out
spoken in favor Of the annexation of
Hawaii to the United States, that is,
he declares that such is the dominant
sentiment in the Hawaiian republic.
He says, explicitly: "While the an
nexation of this country to the United
States of America has not yet been
accomplished, it still remains the pO-
licy of the Government. Its cOnsum-
nation will be earnestly sought, with
an abiding faith that such result
will be full of great aud lasting bene-
fits to our people,"
There have been rumors of revOlu-
ton of late, and of attempts to sub
vert the Government of Hawaii, but
they all simmer down to feeling of
discomfort on the part of few people
who, under the monarchy, enjoyed
free poi and taro-if that be the Ha-
waiian equivalent for the loaves and
fishes-and who have an innate aver
sion to working for living. 1t seems
to be apparent that the Hawaiian re-
public can take care of itself, outside
interference being debarre0, and that
it has little to fear from internal dis
sension, and less from rebels who may
be stranded on this coast from San
