mission by the natives, and none of
them bears any relationship to the
royal family. Two of them, Colonel
Richardson and William Aud, carry
some European blood in their veins,
but the other members of he party
come from the unpolluted race of ma
tive islanders.
They spent the first few hours of
their arrival in seeing such sights as
the capital presents, and were greatly
interested, particularly in the temple
and other Mormon structures. They
journeyed eastward again at o'clock
in the evening.
NON-COMMUNICATIVE.
The islanders had very little to say
regarding the object Of their mission.
Colonel Richardson, the only member
of the delegation who speaks English
huently thought it would be improper
to elaborate on the details of their
visit until they had first had an audi
ence with senators and explained their
opposition to annexation during the
coming discussion upon the subject in
congress.
CHOSEN BY A CONVENTION.
1--WE were chosen by a mass conven-
ton of Hawaiian islanders said Colo
mel Richardson, in reply to a question
regarding the source of their appoint
ment. The petition which brought to-
gether the mass meeting was widely
circulated and signed by thousands of
the natives. We come merely as dele
gates from that convention, and not
one of us holds any official position
THE fact is that we belong to the
great majority of natives who are
anti-government and who have refused
to take the oath. The population of
Hawaii consists of 100000 people, and
! of these hardly 5000 have taken the
oath, and so it is plain that we are
scarcely a united people in govern
mental affairs. How many approx
mately are in favor of annexation
/ Only about 1900. We represent the
sentiment of the overwhelming ma
jority, which is unalterably opposed to
Hawaii's becoming a part OF The
United States. When we arrive in
Washington we shall present data to
show why we oppose it. The senti-
ment of the white population, as well
as of the natives, is also at variance
upon the question of annexation

RIOTS WE'RE ORGANIZED
Marked Germans.

Vienna, Dec. 1T is evident that the
standreicht was not proclaimed a mo-
ment too soon at Prague. Well dressed
men, it is said, rode on bicycles through
the city and suburbs, making lists of
German places marked for attack, and
as the work of the rioters was being
done in accordance with these lists,
and in many places simultaneously,
prevention was at last possible.
Goldsmiths' and jewelers. cases were
emptied in a few cases. Women car
ried baskets to take home the contents
Of grocery and provision stores, while
furniture and other articles too heavy
to carry were Wantonly destroyed. If
the troops had not used their swords
and bayOnets freely, Prague might have
been burned from end to end.
CUNNING OF JEWS.
In several cases Jewish shop keepers
escaped by the device of placing an il
Illuminated crucifix in the windows. The
pillage was so systematic that in one
street alone today 16 jewelry shops
were ransacked. An ambulance corps
was attacked savagely because the
doctors were recognized as Germans.

Riots, more or less serious, are re-

AS TO Cuba, the message calls atten-

autonomy just offered by Spain, and,
after reciting other developments in
the situation reaches the virtual con-
clusion that existing circumstances do
not warrant interference in the affairs
of the island.
