STILL SEEK ANNEXATION
Hawaiian Legislature Passes Resolutions
of That Import
Refusal of President Dole to Allow Major
Fodehonse to Call Upon Queen
Liiuokaiani

HONOLULU. August 1, via steamer
WaIrimoo to Victoria, B. c., August TO-
Major J. H. Wodehouse, formerly British
minister at this place, leaves for England
today, panied by his family. Pre-
vious to his departure he requested per-
mission to see ex-Queen Liliuokalani.
The request was denied by Minister
Hatch. The principal reason for not al
lowing Wodehouse 20 see the prisoner is
on account of his attitude toward this
government. He has repeatedly meddled
in its affairs, and has treated 1t with
contempt on different occasions. A
cabinet minister stated today that when
Wodehouse's successor, Major Hawes.
was prese nted to the government the
former did not take his leave, as is the
custom in diplomatic circles, and has
not done so since. He did not call OH the
foreign office today. Considering his
conduct, Minister Hatch feels justified in
refusing to allow his request. Wodehouse
was recently rendered farewell recep-
tion by the British vice consul at this
place. President Dole was invited and
declined to be present.
The government has acknow lodged the
receipt OF Minister Willis letter in regard
to the claim OF Burrell An investigation
is being made and the government
claims it has evidence on hand to prove
that the man was conspirator. Cleve.
lands latest move to embarrass Hawaii
has been much commented upon here.
1t is rumored that the British govern
ment has presented claims of indemnity
amounting to S345, 900 against the Ha-
waiian government, on account OF several
British subjects imprisoned during the
existence of martial law and released
without charges having been preferred.
The runner was denied today by cabinet
officers. 1t ls believed. however, that the
claims will be presented at no distant
day.
William R. Castle. the new Hawaiian
minister to Washington city. leaves for
Vancouver today en- route for Washington
city. His wife and son accompany him.
The following resolution was adopted
on the goth inst. by the legislature:
Resolved. That the senate and house OF
representatives of the republic of Hawaii
annexation OF this country to the United
States of America.
Resolved, That we prt forth the senti-
ment in the firm belief and sincere hope
that all who have the true interests of the
nation at heart, and that all who support
or are friendly to the republic of Hawaii,

ued effort to bring about the relation

Walker accused her adopted father, Will
liam G. Waters of defrauding ner of the
major portion of valuable estate be-
queathed to her by her mother, and she
has asked the superior court to call
Waters to account. W hen baby Edith

priated her money and property to his
own use and had wasted and squandered
the estate. In tact she charges tnat he
is practically bankrupt. He has an inter

Gone Before Higher Court

OAKLAND, Aug. 10. - Mrs. Annie
Cameron, the prominent society woman
who was under sentence for assault to muir
der, is dead. Mrs. Cameron accused the
husband of her niece, M. J. Laymance,
an Oakland real estate dealer and politi-
clan, of owing her $4,000, which ne refused
to pay. Mrs. Cameron went to his office
and in dispute over the amount drew q
pistol, but it was taken from her before

sault to murder and convicted, though an
attempt was made to prove her insane.
Mrs. Cameron appealed TO the supreme
court, and pending the decision of that
body WAS released on hail. She never
recovered her spirits after her trial and it
is believed her troubles hastened her

THE DEMOCRATIC VIEW.


one OF the staunchest Democratic
papers in the state of Missouri lately
published the following criticism Of
Senator Jones financial bill now under
consideration by the senate finance
committee. The article is important
chiefly because It shows the drift of
sentiment in both the old parties on
the subject OF free silver coinage; and
the fact that the paper from which 1t
Is taken has a larger circulation than
any other Democratic paper in the
state;
Senator Jones proposes to issue 500
millions in bonds to retire outstanding
paper currency and to serve as
basis for national bank circulation
That is not the main purpose OF the
bin. hut is merely a sop thrown to
those who are opposed to a silver basis.
the idea being that 1t will help the
chances OF the adoption of the main
part Of the bill, which provides for
the coinage of all silver brought to the
mints. This is not to be free coinage.
The silver is to be paid for at its
market value, with silver dollars, and
the difference between the market
value and the coinage value appro-
priated by the government.
The result Of such policy may be
outlined In few words. The produc>
tion Of silver in this country. even at
the present low prices, is sufficient to
provide for the coinage of 20 millions
OF silver dollars annually That much
silver would overwhelm the mints.
They could not coin 1t ALL But silver
would advance Immediately and the
production would thereby be greatly
Increased. In the meantime the alarm
over the prospect of dropping down to
silver basis would become so great
that gold would be boarded and dis
appear from circulation. When wanted
for expectation or for other purposes
II could be obtained only at a premium,
and there would be such a demand for
II as TO make the premium equal to
the difference between q silver dollars
metal value and gold dollars metal
value Then the country would be on
silver basis. and Senator Jones' plan
would be the same as free coinage.
When that time would arrive, which
would probably be very quicklythe sill
yer dollar would be worth merely It's
metal value and consequently the sill
yer owner. who brought silver to the
mlnts. would receive in return all of his
silver coined into dollars.
The silver In dollar at the present
time Is worth less than 4s cents. The
man who took silver to the mint for
coinage, supposing the present value
OF the collar could be maintained for
time, would receive In return less
than half OF his silver coined into dol
lars. He would Immediately enter into
the strife for gold himself, by attempt
ing TO change his silver dollars for gold
dollars. He certainly would not be so
foolish as to believe that the govern
ment could SO on indefinitely making
half Of mis- silver equal in value to the
whole of it. by merely cutting it into
small pieces and stamping IT,
It is very doubtful whether the value
OF the currency could be maintained
above the level of silver basis for a
single day or a single hour after the
adoption OF such q plan.
