MINISTER CASTLE HERE,
He Favors Annexation of Hawaii.

ritOry.
Belief Expressed That the Island People
Would Vote for It-A Question
of Population.

W. r. Castle, Minister from Hawaii to
the United States, arrived here from Wash
ington, D. c., yesterday, on his way to
Honolulu, and Will sail to-day.
Minister Castle is in favor of the Joint
resolution introduced by Spaulding of
Michigan for the annexation OF Hawaii,
but he says the dispatch as transmitted
concerning the resolution is a little obscure.
IL implies that the resolution is for an
nexation as a State; but he says that, as
he undt rstands it, Hawaii has not popula-
tion enough for this. 1t has but 100000
people, while 173, 900 is required by the
avs of the United states.
However if il can be fixed up so that
we can be admittea as a State. so much the
better" said Mr.. Castle. "The people
would ne satisfied 70 come in either as a
State or az a Territory. There is one thing.

in Nevada, where, all told, they have now

to vote in hawaii would be generally
approved, and 1 am convinced that it
would carry.
Mr.. Cleveland has treated me in the
most courteous manner. | would not be
at all surprised If ne would favor annex
alton 1t is worthy OF note that in no
public message has he really opposed it.
'The cable project is coming along all
right. / refer to the project of Mr.. Spaul
ding of Honolulu. Congress is in favor of
il. The proposition is that capitalists
shall build it and that Congress shall take
it at its actual cost. 1t will be built, l

General Antonio Ezeta, ex-Vice- Presi-

ing new uniform, sailed from this port on
September Is, bound for Acapulco with
the purpose of dethroning the present
Salvadoran dictator, Gutierrez, and over
toppling the new Government in general.
has organized a tilibustering expedition in
an en- deaYor to carry ont his original in
tentions.
The expedition is aboard the tug G olden
Barclay, and is at present lowering around
the harbor Of Costa Rica, but according to
a telegram received yesterday by DR..
Calderon, Salvadoran Minister in this City,
the sef-styled Iiberator has not yet landed
but in all proba bility fear on his part is ali
that prevents him from so doing.
The telegram carrying the news of the
expedition to this City is as follows:
SAN SALVADOR, Jan. 8.

Ezeta has arrived on filibustering expedition
in the tug Golden Barclay, but he did not dare
to land. He proceeded to Costa Rica, around

When Ezeta left this port % e said that he
would land at Acapulco, where he would
meet confederate of the name of Colochio
ana many others VINO would assist him,
but he would not move on his country un-
til he had sufficient followers to make se-
curity and success certain.
Dr. Calderon says his people have fore
seen this move on Ezeta's part for some
time and are prepared to give him recep-
ton, as they are satisfied with the present
government.

THE FLIGHT OF BIRDS.
Tho Virginia Plover Travels e2u
Miles per Hour.
(From the Chautauquan.)

~
The distance covered by birds In q
days travel is matter of great interest
but 1t has not been studied as &. ought
ITO be. We know, however in a gene
raj way that under favoring conditions
geese and ducks cover from 300 miles
up to 6l0 in n day of twenty -four hours.
The Woodworking insect eaters that
travel by day probably average five or
six miles. The gorgeous Baltimore orr
ole. being easily traced by both plImage
and voice. has been noted all the way
from Rodney, Miss. to Oak Point, Mani.
toba, n distance of 1.29S miles. and he.
covered tt in forty eight olays-a speed
OF twenty-seven miles per day. A lot OF
other birds Wee Jumped together and
an average of 'twcnty-four miles 4; day
oHa!ned. But the observers are few.
Ard then 1T may be that the birds flew
huncred miles In night and rested
Tor three days thereafter. They average
SO many miles day. but what was
their actual speed 4 wing? Gatkc q
German observer. who has devoted fifty
wears TO the study oC birds in migration
on the lattle island called Hcligoland,
concludes that the Virginia plovcr trav-
els 225 miles per hour. and that the aver
age altitude of migrsn.s in fine weather
- at least 10000 feet. VIII we ever
learn about these things definitely?
That the time of Il birds arrival in the
spring varies with the weather Is known
to all. but to this rule there are some
marvellous exceptions. On May H. 1887,
Wilson's black-cap warbler was seen
in Il certain bush by an observer, who
took especial note of the fact because
ii was a new bird to him and for other
reasons. 1t was seen at 80 u. m. a
wear later the observer happened to re-
member the fact, and went To the shrub
berry tosee II by chance a black cap had
arrived. and found one I'm the same bush
at the same hour. And this thing hap
pencd again the third year. 1t doubtless
lust happened So and yet the birds that
start North late In the season. as the
black-cap does. move with much greater
regularity than the early travellers do.
That individuals remain behind while
the main hosts of Il tribe migrate is very
we'll known. II Is worth noting because
II emphasizes the assertion that ecccn-
trio people are found among birds as
among men. And some travel far from
accustomed haunts. THUS Swainson's
hawk from the Rocky Mountains has
horned lark of the plains in Massachu-
setts.- should not be astonishcd to
find an Idaho magpie towering around
tho Capitol at Washington.
The reason why birds migrate has not
been considered here. but the allotted
SPACE is already full Many reasons
are offered. OF which the chief Is home
sickncSs-a longing for the old birth
nloce-but none is entirely satisfactory
Perhaps one must go back to the old
DAYS when palm trees grew I'm Siberia
and monkeys ran wild Oh the Cape Horn
ardhipeluco To find the reason. 1t is a
matter still under investigation and it
is. as was said, in the hone that some
may be melted To join in the invcstisa-
ton that this and other wonders and
mysteries of bird life have been re-
lated.
