ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.

EX-Secretary Foster is as Ardent
as Ever for the Scheme.
CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 29.-John w.
Foster, ev-Secretary of State, and Mrs.
Foster arrived in Chicago yesterday on
their way to their home in Washington,
from Honolulu. They spent a little
more than two weeks on the Islands,
and Mr.. Fosters observations con-
ffrmed the belief which he promulgated
as Premier of President Harrisons
Cabinet that annexation by the Unit
ed States is the duty of this Govern
ment.
The present Hawaiian administra-
ton is awaiting for the Inauguration of
President Mckinley to make another
effort to have the Islands annexed"
said Mr.. Foster. The Constitution
under which the people of the Islands
are living at present has annexation as
one of the main things to be StriVen for.
The Islands were never in a more
prosperous condition than at present.
They are prospecting in a business way,
because the last sugar crop was an eX
ceptionally good one, and the admins
tration of President Dole is the best
that the people ever had.
1T is recognized that the ultimate
fate of the Islands, if they are not an
neXed by the United States, will be
annexation by some other foreign
country. 1t will be impossible for the
Islanders to govern themselves sue
cessfully for any length of time by rea-
son of the clash between the different
elements, Republicans and ROyalists,
and natives and foreigners. One thing
is settled, and that is that the Queen
Will never rule again or the monarchy
be restored. So it remains for the
United States to act without delay, or
some other nation will assume power
in the Hawaiian Islands.

Girls in a Most Delightful Musical
Event Saturday.
The Opera House was well filled Sat
urday night when the girls OF Hawai-
ahao Seminary gave a most delightful
concert. The program consisted of two
part. The sweet voices of the girls
were listened to with pleasure. Fol
lowing was the program:
PART I.
The Valley OF Chamouni 49,. Glover
Old Folks AT Home. ......S. s. Meyers
Boat Song. ..Abt

Longing Double Quartet ......
............... Otto Lob, OPP. -
PART II.
Growing the Fairy Queen"
Cantata in Two Acts.
The second part of the program was
perhaps the most interesting. The
girls were dressed in costume. The
acting of the principals in the cantata
was very clever. The finale was the
browning of the Queen with Miss Flora
Smith a charming young lady of Ka
waiahao Seminary, as Her Majesty.
The effect of the colored lights, the
singing and the enthusiastic hailing of
the Queen made the scene decidedly a
fairyIike one.

MORE QUESIONS.
Of Somewhat Embarrassing Nature
Asked the Government.

London, February 1S-In the Commons
today. Arthur Griffith member for Tun-
bridge division of K ent, interrogated the
government in regard to the reported
landing of Russian sailors and marines
at Chemulpo. Corea, and the oircum-
stances of the landing OF Corea taking
refuge IL the Russian legation at Seoul.
The Right Hon. George N. Curzon, I'M
der secretary for foreign affairs, said the
reason given for the action of the King
in putting himself under the protection
of the Russian minister, was that the
political situation in Corea was such as
to endanger himself and members of his
family.
Mr.. Curzon said he would not admit
the landing of an armed Russian force in
Corea was tantamount to occupation of
that country, and further said that the
government made no representa- tions to
Russia on the subject.
