correspondence from these ISL
ands has even been sent to its
Press. For the first time. the PEG
pie who reside there, have been
fully informed of the true history
IOf the annexation movement, bv
one of their own citizens, who is
known to the people and has per
Isonally visited these Islands.
The political opinions of the
people of Delaware have a South
ern cOloring, by reason of their
Intimate relations with the people
of the Southern States, on nation
al questions, and with them they
take conservative views. UnfOr
tunately for the annexation cause,
Senator Higgins,a Republican and
a strong annexationist was not re-
elected. Senator Gray. who had
been bitter enemy of the found
ers of this Republic, gradually
changed his mind regarding the
character of the founders. Min
lister Willis, in his later DAYS, in
his official and private correspond
ence, certified to their high char
acter. His opposition now to the
treaty is mainly due to his belief
that the American policy should
not be extension of territory. Sen
atOr Kenney of that State is dis
posed to follow his democratic
brethren, unless the public opin-
ion of the State favors annexa-
ton.
The impartial presentation Of
the Hawaiian cause to the people
of Delaware, by one who testifies
from sight and not hearsay, is an
excellent movement in educating
public opinion, and it is to be re-
GREETED that this has not been
done until a late hour.

terested in the study of art
| The exhibit OF the terms work was
highly creditable and the progress was
especially to be observed IN the pen
and ink sketches and pencil drawings
of the students, of both the Preparatory
school and the college. The system
attic work is showing satisfactory re-
suits. Over 200 pieces of china have
been fired in the large kiln during the
term of Is weeks. Among the designs
in this line were original studies from
Hawaiian flowers, being blossoms of
lehua, convOlvulus, maimosa, etc. There
were many plates and tiles with local
views in monochrome new feature
Deserving of especial mention was
set of chocolate cups and saucers, de-
licately tinted in various hues and
edged with diminutive butterflies In
this set as we'll as in others, it was evil
dent that a great deal OF patient labor
had been expended upon small sur
face. A beautiful pastel of guavas at
tracted the attention Of all and was
much admired The exhibit in oils
was good, including oranges, lines,
avocado pears, carnations, and a fish
wrapped in ii leaves The charcoal
sketches were excellent. Adding much
to the attractiveness of the studio are
several new casts, among which are
Praxiteles' Hermes, the young Angus
tus, the laughing boy. Michael Angeles

Milo.

ANNEXATION In DELAWARE.

Col. E. I. Cooper of Delaware
publishes in the Herald of Mil
ford, in that State, an historical
account of the origin and growth
of the intimate relations between
America and Hawaii. He states
that there has been a general drift
towards annexation for many
wears. We understand that the
papers of that State are indiffer-
ent on the subject of annexation,
and that up to the publication of

THE LUAU k0KUA.'

The '.luau kokua" of Saturday
was an admirable affair SO far as
artistic work and effects are con
cerned. No better effort in Ha-
waiian gastronomy could be made
in the food and it's variety and
preparation. People of all the po-
litical faiths were present. The
stomach levels all barriers. The
annexatiOnist and the anti-anneX-
ationist ate out of the same dish.
The luau closed up for the mo-
ment all political chasms.
1t is said that the object of the
luau was to obtain funds for the
support of the native Commits
siOners in Washington. If the
statement is true. and the Com
missioners are REINFORCED with
material aid, it will do good rath-
or than harm to the cause OF an
nexation. The 7O,O00,000 of Am
orleans will not modify their pO-
Icy, at the request or dictatiOn OF
any political party on these ISL
ands. They are looking out for
themselves and not for us. Their
Government and a majority at
least of the members of Congress,
are satisfied that the Government
of these Islands has conveyed a
good title Of transfer, by ratifying
the treaty. Even Senator White
intimates that it is quite good
enough for him.
But the Anglo-Saxon race is
one that. with some serious limi-
tations. loves fair play. If Il cause
is a good one. II hates the use OF
trickery or mean ways OF secur-
ing it. Any attempt on the part
of our Government or people to
hinder or obstruct the full pre-
sentation of the native side of the
case, creates distrust and suspic-
ions. Our Government, when the
ratification of the treaty was be-
fore the Senate, heard the native
opponents of annexation, with pa
thence and respect, and gave them
a calm and dignified answer. The
Congress of the United States can
do no less. If annexation is &C
complished, it will become a part
of American history that it was
done, after full and fair hearing
before Congress of the native Ha-
waiians who are opposed to it.
The United States then takes the
responsibility of the act.
1t must be apparent to any ma
tive, if he can really grasp the
whole situation, that his own race
is in great peril, and it can only
be saved from destruction, by the
introduction of some superior
power. We do not blame him for
failing to see it. He looks through
racial ewes. lust as we. the haOleS
look through racial eyes.
If the native Commissioners in
Washington are carefully eXamin-
ed by the Senate committee, they
will destroy their own case
While their sentiment OF
LOYALTY to native rule viii be
fully appreciated, they viii Re
compelled to admit a series OF
facts which show that as a
physical. moral and intellectual
power, they now play little
part. This is humiliating of course
1t is equally humiliating to the
body of instructors in religion
and general education, who have
for 20 years. striven to build up a
compact and selfsustaining Poly
nesian community here.
The presence of the native Com
missioners in Washington will
satisfy the claim which GER
tainly will be made, that the great
American people can afford to
give the natives day in Court be
fore deciding the case.

At the Eastman Photographic
Competition held at London, Eng
land, in October, where thousands
of contestants had sent their finest
specimens in photography, honors
were conferred to our home artist,
D. HOWARD HITCHCOCK, who
succeeded in capturing a prize in
Glass A, which is no small COM
pliment to Mr.. Hitchcock, as the
contributors included many we'll
known artists from all parts of the
world.
Many people seem to think that
film exposure in this climate does
not compare favorably with colder
climates. The awarding of the
prize to a Hawaii contestant ought
to be sufficient proof to show that
equally as fine if not a superior
negative can be obtained in this
climate as any other.
We have a copy of the picture
that captured the prize in our
window. Call and gaze at it.

New Orleans. Sept. 23.--The official
record in the board OF health Office at
O'Clock p. IN. Wednesday showed total
OF 10 cases since six o'clock Tuesday
evening and two deaths. The new cases
are for the most part widely scattered
and several OF them at least do not
seem TO have been the outcome of local
infection. 1t is apparent that the mi
crobes brought over in baggage from

FOR ANNEXATION.
Hawaiian senat. Ratifes the Treaty
Unanimously.

Honolulu, Sept. IA (via San Francisco,
Cal, Sept. 22.)-The steamer Pekln car
ries the news 10 the United States that
the annexation treaty has been unani-
mously ratified by the proper legisla-
! tive body. That il was done unanimous
", IL is thought, will have big effect in
the United States, and remove all hes
itancy that may exist on the part of the
government Mt Washington. The ex-
traordinary session of the senate began
| September Q. and the next day, when
the preliminary work of organization
| had been done, there was nothing but
the work of ratification TO be accom-
plished, and this was rushed through
not by agreement, but because there
was no desire on the part of anyone TO
discuss the matter. There was but one
opinion on the subject, and the result
was that the vote on ratification was
unanimous.
There was never any difference OF
opinion as TO what the senate would do.
This body was elected after the revolu-
tion with the one idea OF working for
the annexation OF the islands 10 the
United States. From the time I'm 1898
when the queen was dethroned there
has been no subject on which there was
more unanimity, and there has been no
body with more annexation feeling than
the senate. II was the feeling that the
treaty was the best that could be had
and there was no objection 10 the rati-
fcation. The meetings at which the
ratification of the treaty took place were
the most largely attended of any In tho
history OF the government. not except
ing the trying time OF the revolution.
AS soon as the fact was made known
that the senate had agreed to the rati-
fication there was the utmost enthus-
iasm all through the city. IL had been
planned 10 make the occasion the excuse
for the most elaborate ceremonies that
have been carried out since the republic
was founded. There was nothing Lack
ing to the appropriate celebration. aud
the people joined i'm the ceremonies and
Publications as freely as the most ar
dent of the republicans.
The effect OF this early ratification of
the treaty will be eagerly watched by
all here, and will be the subject OF much
inquiry from people who are going TO
the states 10 witness the final fight or
the treaty in the senate of the United
States.
1t is expected that the ratification of
the treaty will have great effect on the
minds OF the American Legislators who
ere coming here next week. Judge Car
ter, who came down by the Coptic, told
of the coming not only OF Senator Nor
gan. but several members OF the house
and every preparation is being made TO
receive them and entertain them as

council of the American Federation OF
Labor at It's session here Wednesday is
sued an address in which attention Is
called TO the lnbor convention TO be
held In Chicago next Monday TO take
measures in aid OF the miners on strike
