President OF Hawaii Interviewed by
Kate Field.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-In the Times Her.
aid of tomorrow will be printed an in
terview with President Sanford b. Dole
of Hawaii, had by Miss Kate Field. The
interview is elaborate, filling several
columns and touching closely on the
Hawaiian policy on International ques-
tions. Although 1t does not appear In
Miss Fields letter, the talk was had in
the presence of Doles cabinet, the mem
bers of which subscribed to their chiefs
opinions unreservedly Miss Field
called his attention to the fact that his
government had been said to be charac-
terized by an insane desire to perpetu-
ate himself In office.
Mr.. Dole said: 1.-THE fact that the gov
ernment is working for annexation to
the United States is a good denial of
that charge. Annexation may deprive
us, or many of us, of office. In the high
er offices are men to whom it means per-
sonal sacrifice and business loss to dis
charge their duties. 1t is simply SLAM
der to say this desire for annexation is
simply a pretense. We are working in
good faith, and l believe the people ap-
preciate the fact.
AS to the form of annexation that
would best meet our requirements, it Is
difficult to say. A territorial form of
government unmodified from the form
obtaining in the United States terri
tories would be scarcely suitable. Prob
ably the best course would be to gradu-
ally develop from our present system,
the federal authorities of course having
from the beginning jurisdiction over
custom houses, postofflces and federal
courts. Our own government should
not be limited by the United States the
same as a territory. A new system
would have to be invented to suit our
conditions, much the same as is the
practice of England in establishing a
new colony. There is no set system.
Each new colony is organized as the ne
cessity of the case demands"
In reply to a statement by Miss Field
that she had been told If the United
States did not annex the Hawaiian ISL
lands they would be offered to England
President Dole said; "Our sole policy is
annexation to the United States"
Other parts of the interview relate to
the domestic, political and material af-
fairs of the island. Profit sharing is
taking the place of contract labor, and
other business and social improvements
have been established.

VENEZUELA is LOST SIGHT OF
Germany, France and Portugal Solicitor,
over the Transvaal Question.


over the Transvaal Question.
London, Dec. 29.-The Times this morn
ing publishes long dispatches from Cape
Town, Paris, and Berlin, bearing on the
Transvaal question, which seems to be
displacng the Venezuelan question in the
public interest.
The Paris dispatch quotes the Journale
des Debats as saying:
THE London Times seems to be aveng-
ing itself on the Beers for the moderate
tone 1t was obliged to adopt toward Uncle
Sam"
The Des Debats then proceeds to argue
upon the danger to French interests of
allowing England to seize Transvaal.
A dispatch to the Times from The
Hague says that Hollands attitude on
the question is apparently one of indiffer-
ence.
The Berlin dispatch says:
1.-THE action of the Uitlanders in the
Transvaal has given rise to an unusually
violent exploitation of the anti-English
feeling in the German press"
The National Zeitung is quoted as fol-
lows:
Germany, Portugal, and possibly
France, can not allow the Boer republic
to become the exclusive prey Of England,
especially of such dangerous parsonage
as Cecil Rhodes"
The Times dispatch then continues:
THE Koeniche Zeitung, the Kreuz Eel
tung and other papers express similar
sentiments. 1t can not be denied that
while the relations between the English
and German governments are in no way
cordial, a widespread feeling of animos-
ity against England exists in Ger
many"

THE PAN-ANGLICAN CONFERENCE.
Two Hundred Bishops Expected to

London, Nov. 2S.-The Rt Rev. DR..
Temple, archbishop of Canterbury. In an
interview just extended to the Associated
Press on the Pan-Anglican conference
said:
"At present l do not know of any
changes that will be made in the pro-
gram for the Lambeth conference in con-
sequence of the death of DR.. Benson. L
have been so overwhelmed with affairs
that l have not had time to carefully
consider the matter. Doubtless there
will be some changes that will have to
be made, but nothing material as far as
American bishops are concerned. We ex-
pect at least 200 bishops to be present
and the most important contingent from
abroad will be those from the United
States. In England we always consider
the American bishops, though the Epis-
copalians are not as numerous as some
other Christian bodies in America, to rep
resent the American people. One of tho
topics for discussion Is international ar
bitration' and l may say that the bish-
ops of England are profoundly thank
full for the turn that recent political
events have taken. l do hope all of our
brothers in the United States and Canada
who have intimated the probability Of
their coming, will manage to do so ana
that those who at present anticipate be-
ing prevented will yet see their way to
visit Lambeth on July 5 next. L need
hardly add, perhaps, that the candid IN
vitation sent them by the late primate
will be repeated by myself In the fullest
degree"

Berlin Nov. 28.-The situation in AUS

mo election since the late civil war

as this last campaign. Austrian business
men believe Bryan's defeat will have q
satisfactory effect on international trade
relations. There is no doubt that Bryan5
election would have destroyed in Europe
all confidence in and credit of the United
States as a nation. In Austria especially
people look upon Mckinley as the incar-
nation Of protective tariff. They do rot
seem to realize that our public men learn
something by experience. All that is now
necessary to make this splendid victory
complete and lasting is to have the next
congress meet as soon as possible, re-
deem all our bank notes issued by the ma
tional government, j. e., to take the gov
eminent out of the banking business me-
tirely, and thus reform our mischievous
form of currency, If this is brought

like the perception of space.
