FEAR THE JAPANEsE.5
The Hawaiian Reason for Desiring Early
Annexation to America.

Annexation to America.
San Diego, Calf, December 16.-The
secret Of Henry Cooper's mission to the
United States is out Mr.. Cooper is
the Hawaiian minister of foreign af-
fairs. He formerly lived in San Diego.
and was a prominent member of the
bar. He is here to-day and is quoted
as saying that he came to the United
States TO urge annexation, owing to the
fears that the Hawaiian government
has of Japan.
The situation in Hawaii, according
to Judge Cooper, is that the Japanese
far outnumber all other foreigners.
The Americans are handful in coma
parison. Hawaii has a treaty with Ja-.
pan and cannot exclude the JapaneseS
who are pouring into the islands steadr.i
lily and entering into every businesas
They are losing the humble demeanor
that characterizes their countrymen on
this coast, and, through their great
numbers and the prestige of the Japan
ese-Chinese war, are beginning to talk
elective franchise. If they force Ha-
wall 10 give them the right to vote.
then American ascendency will be at
an end forever.
Judge Cooper has laid the situation
before influential men In the East, and
has so won upon their judgment that he
believes great strides will be made dur
ing tho next year toward annexation
under the Mckinley administration.

Washington, d. c., December 10
The fact that Mr.. Geo. NJ. Bowers, OF
Martin burg. candidate for the West
Virginia internal revenue collectorship
under Mckinley, was in Washington
again yesterday, accompanied by DEL
egation of supporters, including hon.
Alexander r. Campbell, of Wheeling,
shows that ne means to get that office
if hustlng can do it; also that he feels
he has an uphill fight before him. At
one time Mr.. Bowers was Senator FL
kins right-hand man politically, but
that time seems to have gone by. The
Senator does not appear to have as
in Ich use for MI Bowers as he dld
formerly. but just what caused the cool
ress between them is net generally
,.nown. The important fact is that the
Senator is understood now to be OPP
posed TO Mr.. Bowers aspirations for
the collectOrship, and the latter has be-
fore him the difficult task OF organl2-
ing such formidable movement in his
own behalf that Senator El'lins will
feel constrained to give him the place
he wants. The astute Martins0urg
politician may succeed in this under
taking to force the hands of the SEN
a-or. but it is nos believed here that
he will. Hon. Thomas +. Davis, Of
Grafton, who has served the party in
many campaigns. once making the race
for Governor, is thought to ne Senator
Elkins' choice for the collectorship.
Chairman Arnett, of the Republican
T .ccutiye Committee, Of Marion coun-
