HAWAII OVERRUN.
The Japanese Threaten to swamp the

Island.
SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. Oh. G.
Whitney, eX-postmaster general Of the
Hawaiian islands, who has just arrived
from Honolulu, reports strong revival
of the annexation feeling on the islands
and says it is greatly intensified through
the belief that should Hawaii be an
neXed to the United States the threat
ened japanese trouble would be entire
ly wiped out by the abrogation of all
existing treaties.
By what is known as the Gibson
treaty, entered into with Japan about
IL years age, japanese may pour into
the islands i'll unlimited numbers. They
now number $4,000 and are coming,
Mr.. Whitney states, at the alarming
rate of 5000 year.
He thinks it is only a question of
few years until the Japanese will out
number the natives and naturalized
population, and i'll that case would cause
serious trouble. They are already de-
handing the right of franchise, which
by treaty is conferred upon them as
soon as they can read and write the
English language.

II HUNG CHANGES MISSION.
Its Important Effect on the Future of tho
Chinese Empire.

Chinese Empire.
SHANGHAI, Sept. 5.-There are reports
in circulation here among people of the
highest authority which, if correct
show that the travels of Ii Hung Chang
in Europe are likely to have in the i'm
mediate future most important effect
upon the policy of the Chinese govern
ment, and that the interior of the Chi
nese empire will shortly be thrown open
to free trade.
When the great Chinese statesman
was i'll England, an official attached to
his staff said that the main object of
the viceroy's tour was to sound the
European governments regarding an in
crease i'll the customs tariff of China.
He added that it was understood that
Russia, Germany and France were IA
vorable 70 the increase, but that the
Marquis of Salisbury wanted time to
consider the matter, and that he had
brought forward several important
counter-propositions
What the proposals of Lord Salisbury
were, probably few people known. On
the other hand, il is asserted here by
the people who are i'll a position to have
accurate information regarding the pol
icy of the Chinese government, that the
latter is inclined to cOnCede the condi-
tons set forth by Lord Salisbury, and
that as preliminary agreement there
will be an increase i'll the tariff, all
transit dues in the interior of China
will be abolished, and that, later on,
free trade will be established through
out the Chinese empire.
The preliminary increase in the tariff
is looked up on as being necessary, as a
loan must be secured in some manner,
and the customs dues are regarded as
being the security possible under the
circumstances.
1t is intimated that if Great Britain
advances the money required by China,
the latter, as sort of bonus, will place
orders for a number of battleships,
cruisers and torpedo boats of various de-
scriptions i'll British shipyards. and fur
Their, British officers may be detailed to
reorganiZe the Chinese army. 1t was
at first proposed to intrust this talk to
German officers, but it is believed that
Ii Hung Chang, while i'll Germany,
was not not successful in driving the
bargains which he contemplated.
OF course, this is decidedly English
view of the case, and may be modified
by future events, for great deal de.
ponds still upon the action of Ii Hung
Chang when he returns to China and
the nature of the report which he will
furnish for the decision of the emperor.
Finally, it is understood that the Chi
nese government has practically decid-
ed TO take steps at an early date to
make considerable extension in the
railroads of the empire, and q foreign
railroad board, organized on the basis
of the foreign customs commission, may
be intrusted with this task.
The Emperor Of China is known TO be
favorably disposed toward the extension
of the railroad service of China, and,
with free trade in the interior, the abol-
ishment of all transit dues and an i'm
proved system of railroads, the travels
of Lii Hung Chang may be the means of
awakening China into new life and
prosperity.

Cider Is Not Intoxicating.

COLUMBUS. o., Sept. 5.-Attorney
General Monett has rendered an opin-
ion which practically annuls an amend
ment to the liquor laws made last win
ter which adds cider to the category of
intoxicating liquors. The object of the
amendment was TO prevent the sale of
hard cider III localities which had voted
saloons out of existence, but General
Monett holds that cider is not a malt,
spurious or vinous liquor and can not
be classed as an intoXlcant.

Last week was indeed a notable

pie We have fitted out prominent in
the social life of the city, including
many of the diplomatic corps, pre-
paratory to their leave for the promi-
nent mountain and seaside resorts.
Naturally we feel much gratihed
III the comparatively short time we
have been here. to have won the
bulk of the swell shoe trade of the
city, but we feel that we have gotten
it by deserving it, for we have made
it our aim from the start to show
the finest and most exclusive"
styles, distinctively different from
any that arc shown elsewhere.
Take, for instance, ladies', mems,
and boys bicycle shoes-in fact
shoes for all sports-we show all the
most celebrated makes, and in La
dies high-top Bicycle Boots we
show ten different styles, some of
which were made to our special Or
der.
AS special for this week we are

i'll all colors for 48c.
We are sole D. c. agents for the
