HAWAII WANTS ANNEXATION.
President Dole Talks of the Repub-
lies Finances

lies Finances.
San Francisco June 4-Correspondence
of the United Press per steamer Ala
media, date Honolulu, May 2S.-Formal
resolutions in favor of annexation to the
United States have been unanimously
passed by both houses of the legisla-
ture. 1t is merely a repetition of former
action.
President Dole, referring to the fnan-
cial and political condition of the island
said: THE raordinary expenses of last
year, growing out of the insurrecton and
cholera, for time exhausted the sur
plus of the current revenue, and the leg
.slature is now completing q provision
which will undoubtedly yield a large
surplus over all appropriations. A new
loan of $S00,000 will be placed on the Homo
lulu market at per cent"
In conclusion, ne said: "At. no time
since the revolution of 1893 has there been
such an absence of political unrest as
there is to-day, and there IS no appearance
whatever of uneasiness among the Ha-
waiians."
San Francisco, June 4.-Advices from
Honolulu state that President Dole has
received a pre-emptory demand from
England to allow Volney V. Ashford to
land on Hawaiian territory.
Ashford and his brother Clarence, took
. an active part in the revolution of 1895
and were eXiled 1T is understood" says
the advices, that President Dole has re-
piled to the demand, refusing to allow
Ashford to land here. In close official cir
cles it is said that British man-of-war
will come here and Ashford will be land
ed, without respect to the wishes of this
government. The Hawaiian government
will remain firm in the matter and win
probably appeal to the United States for
aid"
The Ashford brothers are at present in
this city, Volney Ashford being i'll. He
declined to discuss the news received to-
day. His brother said that when Volney
was ready to return to Honolulu he would
do so. At present, however, the proba-
bllity of his early return was very re-
mote

sTETsoN's sHEKELs.
Another CIaimant for the Dead
sbowman's Fortune.

Boston, Mass, June 4.-Another claim
ant has appeared for the estate of the late
John stetson, Jr., in the person of Mrs.
Catharine Shirley Of Kansas City, Mo-.
who claims, through her lawyer, to be the
daughter OF the late Mrs. John Stetson,
by her first husband, Carl Anthony.
Mrs. Shirley is said to be IS years OF
age, and her mother, when she died was
but 80, which makes her mother but 16
years Of age when the child was born.
That the late Mrs. Stetson, when Mrs. An
thony, had a child, is not disputed by Mrs
Stetson's relatives; in fact, they say that
she had "a daughter, but claim that the
child died after living less than two years.
They do not believe that Mrs. Catharine
Shirley can be the child of Mrs. Stetson,
who was then Mrs. Anthony, and they
think that Mrs. Shirley's claim cannot be
established. Judge McKim, in the pros
bate court to-day fixed Wednesday, July
Is, as the day on which he would hsar the
contestants in the John Stetson will case.

sTrpEyTs OF prKrxe UNIVERSITY.

dents are youths representing almost every
grade and class of Chinese society, from
the highest 60 the lowest Even students
who are very near the imperial family are
attending this university in preference to
the national institutions Of learning, which
for centuries the Chinese held TO be supe
rior to any others on earth.
The Peking university was founded and
is managed by Americans. 1t was incor-
porated in New York about six years ago,
and its local affairs are directed bya board
of managers, most of whom reside In Pc
king. The president Is II. II. Lowry, d.
D., superintendent of the Methodist Epis-
copal mission at Picking. The chancellor
Of the university is Bishop G. G. McQuade,
and he has as assistants IA American
teachers as we'll as number Of native in
structors and professors, some Of whom
are graduates of the university.
The following departments are COM
prised in the institutions: College Of liberal
arts, Wiley college Of theology, college of
medicine preparatory school, with inter
mediate and primary departments, and the
industrial school Each student complet-
: ing one Of the prescribed courses in the
college Of liberal arts receives the degree
of bachelor of arts, and the degree Of doc.
UOr VI ueulClnG IS given InOSB WHO uFB
graduated from the medical college. AL
though a Christian atmosphere prevails
about the university, the greatest latitude
| for religious belief is allowed, and the
teachings are wholly nonsectarian. Near
| ly all Chinese officials are required TO per-
form idolatrous worship, but graduates of
the Peking university may enter the Chi
nese customs service or the medical staff
Of Ii Hung Chang's army, where they are
exempt from idol worship.
The university is housed in goodly col
lection of buildings, the largest Of which is
Durbin hall, which was erected two years
ago. 1t is a two story brick structure,
with frontage of 2O5 feet. Three build
ings which were formerly Buddhist tenn
pies and several smaller structures sur
round the campus and furnish accommo-
dations for more than 200 students. Sub
scriptions collected in America, mainly by
the Methodist church, and contributions
from Christian residents of China meet
the running expenses Of tho university.

so Bush, with his customary prompt
ness, proposed and was accepted at
once.
In his delight he might have been a
little more considerate of the others
feelings, but man Is not apt to be over
charitable in affairs of the heart that
intimately concern themselves, and he
wasted no time nor words in inform
ing his rival that he was not only
again successful over him, but that he
would expect him in future to keep at
least the river between himself and a
certain young lady.
OF course it could hardly be expected
that Ben Hardic would take this
quietly, and he didn't. He used some
very bad language and swore ven-
geance on both Bush and the girl,
whom he claimed had deceived him,
and for time a finish with knives was
almost certain. The others tried to In
tercede with Bush, however, and final
ly Ben Hardic, his swarthy face black
and distorted with passion, turned and
walked away.
Bush remained a little later than
usual that day, and when he left for
home along late in the afternoon he
carried with him Mary's promise to
have their wedding on the Both of No.
vember, thereby making it a real
Thanksgiving for him.
The following weeks were happy ones
for both, and sped swiftly as the
preparations, not gorgeous, of course,
but bountiful, progressed until all was
IN readiness for Thanksgiving Day,
which was to witness the fulfllment
of their fond desires.
Bush had quietly notified the parson
and two of his particular friends who
were to witness the ceremony, and
then, leaving them to follow more
leisurely, as being less impatient than
himself, he started off with a light
heart to be early on the scene which
was to eliminate in making him a
| benedict.
When yet too far away to see the
| house which held his treasure, he was
startled by the faint report of a rife
and a yell that was deadened by the
| distance, but which his quick ear un-
mistakably located as coming from the
rivers point or so near to it as to make
his heart jump in alarm. He did not
| pause to consider eXpediency, but
| broke into a run that carried him over
the ground with amazing rapidity. The
yells continued and grew louder as he
advanced, and occasionally he heard
the report of a rifle, and once what
seemed to be volley.
He dashed on, straining every nerve
and keeping a sharp lookout for the
first glimpse of the rivers point and
the house which he now felt to be at
tackled by red flehds. Soon a blue curl
of smoke met his anxious gaze, and he
staggered almost in his fear lest he
arrive too late, and then he bounded
out upon the rivers bank and paused
shielded by great tree trunk, to take
in the surroundings before dashing
across to the rescue.
