Decline OF DOLE'S REIGN
HaWaiians Arc Said to BE In Favor
of Another Queen.
SPRECKLES IS FOR MONARCHY
A Honolulu Editor Gives Some Startling
Views of the SituntiOn-Thc Early
Downfall OF the Republic
Is Predicted.

of Editor Julian d. Hyne in the Great
| Northern has caused much comment
| from those Interested in the situation
at Hawaii.
within eight months the Hawaiian
republic will be overthrown and Prin-
cess Kaiulani. a niece of Queen Llliuo-
kalani. will be made queen of the
! islands," Is Hyne's latest prophecy. In
further reviewing the field. Mr.. Hyne
says:
1T is a fact that everybody is sick of
the new republic and 1t Is recognized in
| Hawaii that the monarchy will be re-
stored. I am surprised that the people
of America know so little of the affairs
of the islands. Briefly, to touch upon
the financial standing of the present
government. those in charge acknowl-
edge by their own statements that they
have been running behind at the rate
of S45,000 per month since they began.
In other words they are 1895 900 more in
debt now than at the time of the estab-
llshment of the republic. Since March,
1895. they have been unable to pay their
bills for current expenses.
ut is the hope of both those who IA
vored the new government and those
who opposed 1t that Great Britain or
the United States will make Princess
Kaiulani queen with protectorate
The father of the young princess, Cleg-
horn together withh her guardian Theo-
dore II. Davis; Major Woodhouse. the
ex-minister from England. and George
McFarlin. who was King Kalakaua's
chief financial agent are all in Europe
at this time. the supposition being that
they are looking to bringing about such
an arrangement with England.
Says Thurston Has Deserted.
"In this connection Lorn S. Thurs
ton. who was turned down by the gov
ernment at Washington as instigator
and prime mover in the rebellion, has
become dissatisfied with the govern
ment and is now openly favorable to
the establishment of Princess Kalulani
with a protectorate.
Queen Liliuokalani Is of course out
of it. but it is understood that she
would be pleased with such an arrange
nent and her friends openly support it,
There is really no opposition to 1t en-
cept on the part of Davis. the secretary
of the treasury, Judge judd, chief JUS
| tice of the supreme court. and few
| other officials Even the government
| employees, who are, by the way. the
same men in office under Queen Liliuo-
kalani, are in favor of the protector
ate"
How about President Dole?"
well. I wouldn't even say that Presi-
dent Sanford B. Dole wouldn't like It,
He gets at present s12 900 a year, and
he gets II. ton. AS often as the month
comes around whoever goes up or down,
Dole draws his 81 900 and ships every
dollar of it to San Francisco banks. He
admits that. You see everyone there
knows that the republic has only a few
months more of life. People don't think
of paying taxes and the government
cant force payment. because no one
would buy the land. They have given
it up entirely.
"The whole thing. of course. was a
scheme to advance the interests Of
those engaged - the sugar trade. and
they have discovered their mistake.
Today they are split and the majority
Of the wealthy favor the princess
Sprcck els Is for the Princess.
"Claus Spreckels. the owner Of the
largest sugar plantations and owner of
the Western Sugar trust, that has
contract with every planter on the
Hawaiian islands, openly advocates
the establishment of the princess That
is the political situation in a nutshell
"William r. Castle. the Hawaiian
minister to the United States, whose
credentials have not yet been passed
upon. beat around the bush the other
day in the Boston pers. but all who
We're acquainted with the subject can
see that he meant practically the same
as / am telling you now. We calculate
that eight months from now at the
most the republic will be turned over
to the queen"
Turning from the political to the
business situation, Mr.. Hyne explained
that the Chinese and japanese were
taking hold of certain Industries to an
alarming extent. Business is really
dead" he declared.
'How will the esta blishment of the
protectorate help matters?"
well, people will pay their taxes in
the first place and the government will
brace up Immediately"
Mr. Hyne left tonight for San Fran
cisco en- route to Honolulu.
