Let the following be recorded in
The INDEPENDENT as we'll as 10 the
San Francisco Chronicle. 1t is al
legged that Hon. John W. Foster
spoke the words:
The annexation OF the Hawaiian
Islands is matter in which the peo-
pie OF this State California; feel a
deep interest. During the last Re
publican administration a treaty to
bring this about was made, but it's
ratification was defeated by the
Democrats. l have no doubt the
Inauguration Of Major Mckinley as
President will be early followed by
the contamination of that greatly
desired measure.
The prophecies of distinguished
men should be remembered. Chase
and Blaine died without reaching
the Presidential chair and Foster,
one of the astutest diplomats OF the
day, is rusticating in our midst and
not taking the stump for his party.
Some day, perhaps, he may be pro-
noted to position which he will
honor,-the Chief Justiceship of the
United States.

What the planters and other for

have very little effect in the Con-
gress OF the great Republic. Ha-

settled according to the wish Of the
Hawaiians. The Advertiser, Mr..
Thurston, and other annexationists,
will do we'll in ascertaining those
facts. Let them ask Mr.. Foster,
the leading American statesman
now among US whether there is any
possibility Of annexation OF Hawaii
to the United States while the great
majority OF the aborigines OF Ha-
wall oppose the scheme. Lot them
