ANNEXATION ESSENTIAL.
Hawaiian Situation Again Discussed
by Ex-Secretary Foster.

WASHINGTON, Nov 3O.-John w.
Foster, former secretary of state, has
returned to Washington from g. six
weeks visit to Hawaii, whittier he went
as the representative Of the Pacific
Cable company. In speaking of his
visit Mr.. Foster said:
The condition of business in Hawaii
is fourishing. The islands are pros
porous and their future is bright The
Pacific Mail has recently doubled it's
service, sending a steamer twice q
month instead of once, as formerly,
and a new line is soon expected to be
established by the japanese which will
touch at the islands on the way to San
Francisco. The people of Hawaii wish
to be annexed to the United States
The present government has the ap-
proval of a majority of the native
HaWaiians and there is no likelihood
that there ever will be a restoration Of
the monarchy. The English and Ger
man elements, however, are opposed
to annexation to the United States, be-
cause they believe it will interfere with
their contract labor and SO affect their
interests commercially. The present
government in it's administration is
giving satisfaction. Yet this govern
ment is only temporary and the people
want to be annexed

PERNICIoUs ACTIVITY.
Charges Filed Against One Hundred
POStmasters

WASHINGTON, Nov 3O.-The presi-
dent today appointed Charles Ray
mond, Vice David p. O'Leary, removed,
postmaster at Evanston, III. The old
postmaster at Evanston was charged
with going out of his jurisdiction to
sell stamps and postal supplies. so as
to increase the receipts Of his Office and
raise his salary and allowances. This
is regarded as a serious violation of
the rules, to the detrtment of adjacent
offices.
In the neighborhood Of 100 postoffices
are involved in charges of pernicious
activity in politics now filed with Post
master General Wilson. They include
a number of big offices against whose
heads serious accusations are made.
The policy of the postmaster general
has been to act as leniently as possible,
and make removals only where neces-
sary, and accordingly all the charges
save half a dozen have so far been
ignored, though action on a number of
the others will shortly follow.
