but subsequently gathered strength. Ex-
porting has been fairly active. No fur
ther changes in flour, although for a few
days the market had an upward tendency
the drop in wheat. however, stopped an

excepting bright feed, which has been
scarce There is a better demand for oats
to-day; no gray oats here, and they are
wanted; receipts have been moderate.
Corn is not in demand: market IS weak

The apple market is oversupplied with
inferior stock, aud the sale OF choice goods

In a London Music Hall.

The London music hall furnishes at
once music and liquor for the masses.
There is always chairman who an
nounceS the title of each song and the
name Of each vocalist. The Importance
which he shows in his manner, and its
apparently impressive effect upon the
audience, give the American a strange
sensation. He doesn't know whether
to accept the whole thing as serious or
as a farce. 1t is always the same old
tune which has been sung to genera
tions of Londoners, with variations of
word and sentiment to suit the times.

Honolulu, April 8, 1897.

The arrival of the last "Aus-
tralia" was greeted with a sigh
of relief from the whole COM
munity. The unusually long in
terval between mails had made
people quite anxious, and ru-
mors of war and other political
disturbances were flying as thick
as leaves in Vallambrosa. The
encouraging news of the probable
passage of the Dingley bill, i'm
posing a duty on all foreign
Sugars while preserving for Ha-
waii nei the advantages of the
Reciprocity Treaty, gladdened
the hearts Of all, planters as well
as merchants, who predict a new
era of prosperity and progress
for these beautiful Isles of the
Pacific. News was also brought
ofthe knocking out Of Champion
jim Corbett by his sturdy oppon-
ent Fitzsimmons.
The TRIBUNE BICYCLE
knocks them all out. Like the
Roman tribunes Of old, it stands
on pinnacle of fame, elevated
above all others, and like Fitzsim-
mons it beats all the other
Champions.
The '97 MODEL is the acme
of perfection in wheels; it has
no equal. We received a num-
ber of them by this "Australia"

FROM WASHINGTON.

We have been permitted to make
the following extracts from letter
received by gentleman in this city
by the last mail:
"The situation in Washington is
unchanged from the last time you
heard from us. The sympathies OF
Washington society are still with
your ex.Queen Liliuokalani, and sho
is highly respected for her dignity
and intelligence The so.called
diplomatic representatives OF your
very doubtful government are even
less popular than before, for they
openly exhibit their jealousy and
dislike OF the many public aud
private attentions the Queen is re-
ceiving. The latest addition to the
so-called Hawaiian Legation are
even more unpopular than the
others, and Thurston's offensive in
suit to the Japanese Minister has
brought upon him, and the govern
ment that sent him, the condemua-
tion OF the diplomatic corps aud
all the leading men OF Washington.
\ 4
"The question of the annexation Of
Hawaii to America appears to be a
dead issue, and is regarded for many
reasons to be dangerous and un-
wise policy for the United States.
n Y
"There is strong undercurrent OF
feeling among prominent men here,
that President Mckinley and the
Republican Party ought to rectify
the wrong that was done in Hawaii
under a Republican administration,
otherwise it will remain as blot
upon our diplomatic history, that
will be a serious stumbling block in
our future diplomatic relations with
the world.
"But the administration is averse
to any further foreign complications
The revolt in Cuba, and blockade oil
Crete are enough for the present,
and it seems to be the inclination to
keep Hawaii in the background and
let her work out for her own destiny
barring Of course any attempt at
foreign agression, which is hardly
likely to happen as there is more
than one nation watching Hawaii
with interest"
