Departure of Liliuokalani.

Her Majesty Liliuokalani left this
morning by the China on a visit to
the United States and England. To
avoid any demonstration the de-
parture of Her Majesty was con-
Quoted very quietly, and very few
people were aware OF her intended
journey. Her Majesty is accom-
panied by Mrs. Kia Nahaolelua and
Mr.. Joseph Heleluhe her secretary.
Previous to her departure Liliuo-
kalani called on President and Mrs.
Dole and by order OF the President
a Foreign Office passport was issued
to Her Majesty. The eI-Queen will
probably be absent from Hawaii for
several months and may meet her
beloved niece, the Princess Kaiulani
at Washington or at some place in
Europe.
The INDEPENDENT wishes Her Ma
je ty bon uoyage and feels authorized
to say that the best wishes for sue
cess Of all patriots of Hawaii follow
her footsteps.
Long live Liliuokalani.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The perfect harmony which is
now reigning among the Portuguese
colony was we'll demonstrated on
Tuesday last at the reception at the
Lusitana Hall. The Bishop OF Pa
noplis aud his clergy were seated
next to Mr.. Soares the protestant
Portuguese minister. No religious,
or political clique was heard during
the festivities OF the day. All per-
sonal feelings we're buried and all
joined in honoring the beloved
mother-country.

OUR SPICE BOX

We must keep spices in tho
house for spices are the salt of
good living. Now we must say
that we have one of the neatest
spice castors you could possibly
desire. There are six little
bronzed colored tins in a tray
box so simply arranged that you
can at a glance pick out the spice
you require; and all this for %
cents.
We are now catering in a cer-
tain line Of goods, for those who
cannot afford to increase their
expenses. For the wealthy we
have many necessaries which
we can supply. Come and see
and inspect for yourself.

Do our wives and daughters
make as good coffee and tea as
our grand mothers? That is a
question, which we can answer
afiirmatively, with the reserva-
tion that they have the Kona
Coffee and the proper Coffee Pot,
Now the inventive genius of the

traitorous, unscrupuloua, thieving
crowd which in 1898, stole country
and which yet are the receivers OF

We have now FIVE Japanese immi-
grafton companies and three Chinese
1t was understood that the Japs
we're to have a rest and that a num-
ber of Chinese we're to be imported
as an Offset to the steadily increas-
ing japanese influx. 1t was also
agreed that certain percentage Of
imported laborers should be non
Asiatics. The planters have evi.
IDENTITY no intention OF carrying ont
their agreements and the Japs con-
tinue to pour in. The proposition
OF certain cranks to import Armeni
ans is simply ridiculous. The Ar
menians are "Asiatics" beyond a
doubt and can nc more be brought
here under the laws than can Chi
nese, Hindoos and other inhabitants
Of Asia. The flooding of the coun-
try by Asiatics must be checked. II
the planters are sincere in their
protestations of love for Hawaii
they will not advocate the abroga-
tion OF treaties but they will simply
decline to import more Asiatics. If
they will do so the question will be
settled. If the Japs should still in !.
sist in coming here without pres
poets of finding work our vagrancy
laws will do the rest.

ANNEXATION DISCUSSION.

The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-12-04

General Hartwell, in his brief,
speaks from two points of view. AS
Hawaiian (save the mark) hes wants
annexation. AS an American, be
wants more OF the same medicine.
We cannot take up the false and
erroneous statements of Mr.. Hart
we'll, when he expounds American
sentiments. The old general, who
by the way has been Judge of the
Supreme Court of Hawaii, an At
torney General and an all round
holder of Offices is entitled to talk
from an American standpoint. He
made fool of hiruself when he APP
peared on beh all Of the Hawaiian.

1t is perfectly true that Mr.. Claus
Spreckels and other prominent men
favored The revolution of 1898. Mr.,
Spreckels and his friends here were
not very friendly to the monarchy
and they thought perhaps for mo-
ment that change Of government
would suit their purposes, The Doe
Government through its imbecility
and weakness, very quickly proved
to the Opposition that the people
who helped them had jumped into
the fire from the political frying pan
Hence the opposition to the pres
ent Republic.

Mr.. Hartwell says the past is gone
never to be recalled. The clever
attorney of cables and annexation
lists was probably not aware of an
incident which happened this morn

We are inclined to believe that we
know most "ntelligen," Hawaiians
and their associates in this country
We are also inclined to believe that
no fear on their part or on the part
OF their friends has ever been ex-
pressed in regard to their social
standing. Mr.. Hartwell does not
understand evidently that the Gin
telligent" Hawaiian society considers
it an honor to the malihinis who are
allowed to associate with them
on the basis of social equality
There is no fear that the educated
Hawaiians who know their grand
parents will suffer socially in case
Of annexation. The Hawaiians will
plod along socially even il we gel a
few more ex-cooks, ex-maids and
other now wealthy people without a
pedigree.

which destroyed Ontonagon originated in
q swamp Just south OF the Diamond Match
Company's millA A fortymile gale swept
the flames before it, and the planning mills,
box factory and immense dry kilns were
soon in ashes. The flames then descended
on the business and residence quarter OF
the city, and finally lodged IN 6S.0o0.0eo feet
of sawed lumber on the dock. The des-
tructlon OF the village was almost COM
plste barely a dozen houses remaining
standing. The onslaught OF the flames
was so sudden that barely one Ia twenty
persons succeeded IN saving his effects.
The heat was so intense that the people
were compelled 10 seek shelter under
trees and driftwood along the lake shore.
Many walked TO Rockland, fifteen miles
away. There are about i.S00 men. wome
and children without food or shelter.
