Boston, Dec. 15.-Quite a fleet of Eu-
ropean steamers are now due at this port

have been out it is surmised they must be
experiencing the same fearful weather en-
countered by the steamers lately arriving

of the vessels due here: Steamers Lorenzo,

The present Don Carlos is the grandson

of King Ferdinand VII Of Spain. King
Ferdinand was without male issue, and,

named his eldest daughter Isabella, as his
successor, ignoring the claims of his broth
or Carlos The latter raised the standard
Of revolt in Spain, but was defeated In
1S45 he renOunced his claims in favor of
his eldest son, known as Carlos VI. The
latter was succeeded in his pretensions up

Juan, and in 1868 Don Juan renounced
his claims in favor Of his own son, tho
present Don Carlos, who, it is now an
nounced, proposes to abdicate in favor OF
his eldest son, Don Jaime.
Don Carlos is said to have displayed a
waning enthusiasm during the last few
years over the claims put forth in his be-
half to the throne of spain. He is called
indolent, and since the last Carlist war he

SAYS ENGLAND ALONE CANNOT
HANDLE TURKEY.
Dangers of an Attempe-Young Turks
Solomon Island Savages
and "Fitz."

LONDON, September 17-Sir Charles
Dixie, who is an authority on Euro
pean politics and on British Imperial
defense, has written a long letter on
the Armenian agitation in which he
refers to the provoking fickleness of
English public opinion on the varying
phases of the Eastern question and
warns the country, looking to the
weakness of the fleet and the unpop-
ularity of England, against isolated ac-
ton against Turkey.
He continues by saying: "The feet
could force the Dardanelles. but only
with heavy losses at the risk of en-
failing a general war, in which our
national existence would be at stake.
Forcible action elsewhere than at Con-
stantinople might aggravate the
chances of a massacre at CONSTANT
nople and entail the partition of the
Ottoman Empire between the powers,
by which we would have much to lose
and nothing to gain, except most
dangerous inheritance impossible to
defend"

Ii HUNG CHANGES NATURAL ABIL-
ITY MADE HIM.
His Great Wealth-Rich and Happy
Progressive and Fighter-He Is
Regular Monopoist.

\ short time ago periodical, search
ing through the income taxes of the
world, discovered that Iii Hung Chang
was one of the six richest men on the
globe. A dozen years ago General
Grant, travelling through China, as Ii
Hung Chang's guest, announced him
the happiest man he had ever known.
Thus in history the great Chinaman
will stand forth conspicuous for two
widely diverse things, great wealth
and great happiness. He is the hap
piest rich man in the world.
This wealth which in time of peace,
is the first thing you hear of the emf
nent Oriental statesman and warrior,
was gathered by him in a most Amer
lean way. He founded new institu-
tions and reaped the benefit of them
while beneiitting his countrymen.
Where he scattered occupation among
100000, the 100000 were working to
amass wealth for him
China, when Ii Hung Chang rose
from the masses and attended col
lege, was an unprogressive country. 1t
had neither railroads, telephones, nor
hospitals. Now it has all three, most
of them owned by Ii Hung Chang.
In China the fact that a man can re-
peat the 10000 verses and can recite
history admits him to any station of
preference. All the Emperor's court
would be drawn from such men if
there were enough of them to supply
the demand. In the sixties, when
China had its embroglio, Ii fought and
was speedily raised from one rank to
another. When the war ended he was
given white button and black
feather. Thirty years later he got his
yello5- jacket and his two-eyed pea
cock feather. That is the greatest ex-
ample of quick rise in Chinese history.
1t is always done by illustrious an
cestors. Ii is from the common peo-
pie.

BRITAIN OR AMERICAN !?
VIEWS ON THE PROBABLE FUTURE
OF HAWAII.
May Be irnpelled to Turn to England
Shipping Aspect-Not an Unnatural
Destiny.

c'Kamehamena" in Washington Starr
1t may very conceivably be that if
annexation be finally refused by the
United States we shall be impelled to
turn to Great Britain in pursuit of the
political stability which is so greatly
desired, and to accept colonial posi-
ton under England, with local self
government. This would indeed be
very distasteful to the predominating
American portion of our people. But
with the immense excess of British
steamers in the Pacific this would not
be an unnatural destiny for the Ha-
waiian Islands. The British amply
subsidize their steam lines. The United
States do not. Therefore British com
merce possesses the oceans. With the
not distant opening of the Nicaragua
canal, that commerce must immensely
commercial houses must greatly in
crease in Honolulu. Without very
positive and decided policy on the part
of the United States the Hawaiian
Islands will naturally drift into Brit
ish possession. 1t seems safe to pre-
dict that before many years they must
become either American or British.
America now has the option. We in
cline to believe that the somewhat pos
tive expression about Hawaii in the
Republican platform voices the senti-
ment of a majority of the American
people. But if America is to Control
these islands it is necessary that she
should insure to us complete political
stability" We do not now possess it.
We must have it; if not from America,
then from England.

THE LANE GRAY.

The sealing schooner Jane Gray has
been recently seized by the United
States authorities for violation of the
fisheries treaty in the Behring Sea and
is now held in San Francisco. 1t may
be remembered that during the trouble
here in 1895, strange schooner was
seen in the offing, lowering about in II
suspicious manner, and causing the
Hawaiian authorities to dispatch the
tug and tow her into the harbor, to
give an account of herself, as the idea
was prevalent that she might be on a
flibustering expedition. She was en-
tirely innocent. This schooner was the
same Jane Gray that is now held by
the United States government.

MUST BE DYNAMTTING.

At the Waikiki end of the Pacific
Mail wharf, where slips for steam
liners ape to be made, it is found that
beneath the fifteen feet of harbor mud
is fifteen feet or more of lime rock or
reef. This second depth cannot be
handled by any appliances the Govern
ment now has. 1t will be necessary
to bring experts from abroad familiar
with such excavation. Effort is being
made to have this done without delay.
Upon completion of the slips steamers
can readily come to dockage head on
from the sea and will have very little
trouble in getting out again.

CONTRACTOR AND MILITARY MAN
HAS DISAPPEARED
Tangled Financial Affairs Building
School Houses s-Perhaps He Left in
the Rush of Steamers.

H. f. Heuss, contractor and first
lieutenant-elect of Company IL, n. G..
H., is missing. He dropped out of
sight about , o'clock Thursday after
noon. None of his friends have beer
able to find track of him since though
they would like to. 1t is presumed
that he left on one of the several
steamers which sailed from Honolulu
during the afternoon and evening,
Mr.. Heuss had the contract for build.
ing the new school house on the High
school premises and also the one in
the Royal school yard. The former was
completed this week and the latter is
nearly finished. Allen & Robinson
went bonds and furnished materials
for both. They were hackers of the
missing man and still believe he will
show up. This morning when the
score of carpenters appeared and re-
ported that Heuss was not on hand,
the firm guaranteed them and instruct
ed them to proceed with the work.
The missing man was paid $500 We'd
nesday morning. He paid some sal
aries and could not have had more
than 5000 when he disappeared His
bills amounted to something, which
may have influenced his sudden dis
appearance. There is a difference in
accounts of about $500 at Allen e. Rob
inson's; Harry Klemme has an I. o. L.
for $l10; another friend claims $50;
carpenters claims range from $40 to
$50 each. 1t is said that the man lost
on both school house contracts. figur-
ing below the cost on both jobs.
Heuss' home is i'm Seattle. There he
has wife and two young sons, one ~
and the other 10. Parties who know
him say he bears good reputation in
the Sound city. Friends here do not
believe he has gone there. They think
he left on the Alameda for South
Africa. As remarked before, however,
his business connections do not be-
lieve he has left town. They say he
will show up. At the White House,
where the missing man lived, nothing
is known. He was not there last night.
Mr. Ripley stated this morning that
work on the unfinished contracts of
Mr. Heuss would be prosecuted as if
nothing had occurred.
