purpose, have issued an earnest appeal
to the people Of the State urging
revival Of temperance sentiment through
out the State, something to be devoutly
prayed for by every well-meaning person.
The committee say:
"The report. has gone out to the world
that the placing Of the law upon the stat
ute books of Kansas has caused a shift
ing of individual responsibility, which in
turn has resulted in period Of inactivity
and a wane Of temperance sentiment.
All this is being used in other States as
an argument against prohibition.
"Shsll we not as citizens Of Kansas see
to the immediate removal Of any ground
to such an RFgumentP Shall we not
prove to the world that the adoption Of
a prohibitory law need in no wise be
followed by temperance inactivity?
"Our old-time methods of warfare
against the evils Of intemperanCe should
be revivede-t pledge-signing crusades,
the church and school house campaigns,
the great summer rallies and open air
demonstrations.
GAS committee, we earnestly recon-
mend that increased attention be given
to the subject Of temperance by churches,
Sabbath schools and young peoples So
cieties. The evils Of intemperance should
be vividly and frequently presented.
Every minister and every church member
should feel an individual responsibility
in this matter. The press and platform
should also be used to the fullest possible
extent.
1--WE would furthermore recommend:
"Thatsome man of National reputation,
such as Col. George W. Balm Of Ken
lucky, be, if possible, employed at as
early date as the financial means Of the
Union will warrant. The necessary
funds should, however, be previously
pledged.
"That 100000 or more pages Of down
to-date statistical matter be compiled and
put into early circulation.
"That as many local speakers as posi-
BILE Of the highest standing be employed
for work in their immediate sections OF
the State at the least possible expense
to the Union, the Congressional district
Vice Presidents arranging for all such
meetings in their respective districts.
"That Sabbath school temperance
picnics and rallies be held all over the
State during the spring and summer.
"That fund Of 5000 in cash and ap-
proved subscriptions be raised as soon as
possible to pay the expenses Of speakers
and literature as above proposed.
"When we take into consideration that
prohibition saves to the people Of Kan
sas fully 6 million dollars annually which
would otherwise go to the saloon, that
is, about s5 per capita, there should be
no difficulty in raising as small an
amount as is called for.

A FABRICATION.
No Truth in Sensational
Story of Insult.
Young People From Hawaii Were
Invited by the Ex-Queen Into
Her Car to Sing.

A letter received in the Australians
mail Tuesday by Mr.. P. c. Jones
from his daughter, Miss Alice Jones,
puts the brand of lie on the sensa-
tional story, published in the United
States. of an insult offered to ex-Queen
Liliuokalani, by some of Honolulu's
well-known and popular young people
who were on the same train with the
ex-Queen from San Francisco to Chi
cago recently. Even before the arrival
of the letter from Miss Jones the story
was not believed in Honolulu. The
personality of the young people, whose
names were involved. would not per-
NIT the ill-mannered action of which
they were accused, and the article in
the newspapers was considered absurd
on the face of it
AT the same time, the families and
the friends of the young people were
indignant, and it was thought that the
characters of all of Honolulu's young
people were assailed in a way. Mr..
use that portion of his daughters let
ter which touches on the subject.
1t seems that several Honolulu
young people were on the same train
East with the ex-Queen. and that they
sang in her car. But they were first
invited into the car by the ex-Queen,
and were asked to sing for her. Jack
Atkinson was not even on the train.
He met his young friends in Chicago
and accompanied them to their hotel.
In her letter Miss Jones speaks of the
singing merely as one of the incidents
of the trip. Mr.. Jones thinks she could
not have seen the sensational story, or
she would otherwise have given a full
er explanation than she does. After
telling of the arrival in Chicago, and
speaking of the hotel Miss Jones says:
Jack Atkinson met us at the train,
and he brought us up to the Audito-
'ium Hotel. We had quite a Honolulu
delegation on the train: Matte, Ivy
Hattie Hitchcock, Ethel
yyn Castle, Arthur Baldwin in our
ar; Liliuokalani, Joe Haleluhi and
lis wife, Carson Kenyon and a young
elbow by the name Of Burke, in an
,ther car; All Lo, too. Rev. Mr.. Mum
oe and his son were also on the train.
"Liliuokalani smiled very sweetly to
is all and told All Lo she would like
o have us come up in her car and
ing. So one evening we did She sat
n her drawing room and we all sat in
he main part Of the car and serenaded
ler."
And this is the simple incident which
ONE ambitious penny-a-liner has
over into story of insult to
he ex-Queen. 1t was courteous of
-iliuokalani to invite the young peo-
lie to sing. 1t was courteous of them
o respond. 1t is thought that the ex-
queen herself would resent the inter
rotation put upon the singing by the
newspapers were she aware that such
story had been circulated.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-10-15

The Minneapolis Tribune, after
discussing the prompt action of the
Hawaiian Senate in ratifying the
Treatvof Annexation, saws that the
Chinese in Hawaii do not oppose
it, but the japanese residents are
not satisfied with it. 1t does not
understand why the Portuguese
should be unfriendlv to it. The
Tribune says:
The prompt acceptance of the
treaty by the ruling power in Hawaii
will, we think, greatly strengthen an
.nexation sentiment in this country and
make ratification by the senate, when
congress meets, easy. The impression
is growing that we need those islands
for the protection of our Pacific coast
and our trade in the Pacific ocean. and
that it would be suicidal TO permit
them TO fall into the hands of any Eu-
ropean power, or of Japan. If We do
not take them now that they are offer
ed 10 US, we may not get the chance
again TO secure them so easily. What
ever the foreign complications growing
out Of annexation may be, they will
be less now than they will be here
after if action is delayed.
The two features of vigorous Am
erican policy at the present time are
the annexation of Hawaii and the free
dom of Cuba. To these two policies
the Mckinley administration is vir-
tually committed, and in the carrying
out OF such policy it will receive the
support Of congress without regard to
party divisions. Some few Republicans
may oppose annexation and interior
enee in Cuba; but there will be enough
Democratic and Populist and indie
pendent support to more than make
up for the disaffected Republicans.

Mr.. James Business Here.

T. K. James, former chief steward
of the o. S. S. Australia, who arrived
on that steamer Tuesday, is stopping
at the Hawaiian Hotel. As announced
in yesterdays Advertiser, he is here
looking into the matter of hotels. Mr..
James has the backing of number of
Western capitalists, who have entrust-
ed him with the work of examining
carefully into such points as favorable
location, cost of maintenance and other
important matters. All capital neces-
sary is behind the project, so it is very
likely that Honolulu will soon see
first-class hotel in the course of con-
struction.

A VALUABLE BOOK.

We have received from Mr..
Louis Weston, a copy Of his trans
Ilation into the French language OF
Mr.. C. T. Stevens Sources of the
Constitution Of the United States. =
II Is an interesting incident of our
social life. that the resident
French Commissioner Is the trans
lator Of book which has. for sew
eral years, deeply interested the
growing class Of educated, think
ing men in America. who are ask
ing for the why and the wherefore
Of the supreme fundamental law
Of the United States.

French students Of political evolu-
ton, though every page Of it shows

only few Of those light houses
and signals in sight, which guided
the navigarors of American demo
cracv into the safe and Iand-locked
port Of a wise Constitution.
The school master, the college
student, the politician, and the az
erage reader, have believed for half
q century or more. that the trainers
OF the Constitution got together in
l11S1. and out Of their own brains
by the power Of genius, composed
written Constitution. which Is
the marvel Of the century, just as
one writes a poem or composes a
song. After almost a century Of
silence, men begin TO think &C
curately about the real origin Of
events and institutions, and dis
cover that one set Of events simply
grows out Of another set Of events,
and that there Is no hap-hazard
work in the world.
So it comes, that the men who
framed the Constitution did not
take clean sheet of paper, and
say, let Us compose a Constitu-
ton" but they put into definite,
and guarded language the radi-
tons, the ideas, the customs of the
people Of English origin. always
preserving, as Prof. Bryce says,
''the roots Of the past" So that

FURTHER NEGOTIATIONS.
Minister Shimamura Presents
Reply to Japan.

Reply TO japan.
In the last communication to Japan
by the Government on the immigra-
ton controversy, Japan was asked to
specify the particular points to be re-
ferred TO arbitration On Monday
Minister Shimamura called at the For
eign Office and presented to Minister
Cooper the reply of the japanese Gov
eminent.
1t is understood that the reply diff
fered somewhat from the specifications
of the Government, but in the main
they are very close to the points made
by Hawaii. The specifications were
amended slightly by the Government,
and will be submitted by Minister Shi-
mamura to his Government
1t is also understood that in addition
this Government suggested the pro-
priety of submitting the question for
arbitration 10 three eminent jurists, one
to be selected by each Government and
the third to be selected by the other
two.

\ letter from a prominent man
IN Washington, who is in favor of
annexation, but holds conservative
or pessimistic views, remarks that
annexation seems to be near at
hand" Of course this is only an
opinion, but to US it has value, be
cause the past judgments of this
gentleman, in political matters,
have been usually correct, though
not always so. His name,
if given, would be recognized at
once by those who know that the
annexationists owe him a debt of

which will, at some distant period

THE ARBITRATION.

Settlement of the issues TO be
passed upon by the arbiuators, III
the japanese immigration matter,
seems to be arrived at, or nearly 50.
The request by our Government
for a clearer statement of the pro
positions which the japanese Gov
eminent desired TO submit to arbi-
uanon, has drawn from 1t such a
statement. As the correspondence
is not published, We cannot furnish
any accurate or reliable statement
Of the issues. We presume that
all, and every point in dispute is
submitted. The proposal TO arbi-
uate. by our own Government
seems to be dignifed, just and poll
tic: but, on the whole, as a game
in politics." if one chooses TO So
regard it, the japanese perhaps,
have the advantage. On many of
the points made in this information
al controversy, our own Govern
ment Is backed by the Judicial
authority Of the Federal Govern
ment. On several important points,
the case Is entirely novel. For in
stance, the Supreme Court of the
United States holds that Congress
may pass laws which nullify, or
break the most solemn treaty, and
the President is bound TO execute
the laws. But you ask the Su-
preme Court, what are the rights
of the nation that complains of the
United States when treaty Is
broken! What is It's remedy. How
can any treaty be good for any
thing if any nation may break ii, if
it chooses! The Supreme Court
replies: (AIr. Justice Field giving
the opinion); the Supreme Court
has nothing to do with that. We
only say what effect the law of
Congress has on our own Govern
ment's officials. We have nothing
10 do with foreign Governments.
They have no connection with our
judiciary system. They must look
to the executive. If, as a nation,
the United States nullifes a treaty,
the nation complaining must en-
force its claim, if it has any, either
by war or arbitration"
Up 10 the present time, in inter
national dealings, questions pre-
cisely, or even nearly, ike the
ones now at issue between the Ha-
waiian and japanese Governments
have never been presented before
any tribunal of arbitration. The
trial Of these issues viii be, there
fore, of great interest TO interna-
tional jurists.
The selection of the arbitrator
is only question of detail. At
one time, we were informed on
high authority, that the japanese
would be willing to leave the mat
ter TO the American Government
for decision. But the attitude of
