JOHN NOT GOING AWAY
SAYS HE WILL NOT GO TO WASH
INGTON, ID. C.
Activity of the Officers of the Annex
alton Club-Mr. Thurston's Eastern
INSTRUMENTATION Literature.

Judging by the activity of the Of
ficers of the Annexation Club and
those interested in the absorption of
the islands by the Great Republic, no
stone is to be left unturned to ac-
complish that result.
When L. a. Thurston announced his
intention of going East for several
months, word was passed along the
line that the object of his trip was
solely in behalf of annexation. His
connection with the local club as pres
ident, coupled with his visit abroad at
a time when the Mckinley administra-
ton was on the eve of being inaugu-
rated, made the report current appear
definite. Mr.. Thurston, however, de-
nies that he is going to the States in
any other than private capacity, but
freely admits his intention of further
ing the cause of annexation in any
way possible while away.
According to the knowing ones, it
now appears that an aggressive plan
of campaign has been mapped out by
the local club. This will be carried in
to the enemy's camp; with base of op-
eratons centered in Washington, from
which point annexation literature will
be disseminated throughout the States.
AS an evidence of sincerity and to
prove to those opposing the measure
from the standpoint of the native Ha-
best educated and representative Ha-
waiians will, it is said, accompany Mr..
Thurston to the East. His usefulness
will be made prominent by audiences
with the American House and Senate
Committees on Foreign Affairs at the
special session to be called by McKin-
lay. Being in every way capable of
giving authentic information touching
island affairs and conditions of his
people Mr.. Kaulullou should be an inn
portant factor in the interest of an
| nexation.
When interviewed this morning NJ.
Kaulukou was emphatic in denial Of
the above story. He declared no men,
Der of the Government or any one else
had spoken to him about going away
and asked that it be made plain that
he had no intention of leaving the
| islands.

THE THISTLE CLUB.
Robert Burns Birthday Celebrated
Last Night

The Scottish Thistle Club of Homo
lulu most appropriately celebrated the
birthday of Robert Burns, the i'm
mortal Scottish bard, at a banquet
given in the Arlington hotel last even
ing. There were about forty people
gathered at the festive board. Mr..
Robert Cation, Mr.. j. Stewart, Mr..
Black, Chieftain White and Col Moore,
a visitor to the islands, all paid high
tribute to the great Scottish poet
Thomas Smith, George Lindsay, Thos.
Mcmillan. George Dali, David Macrae,
William Nixon, George Smithies, A.
Stoddard and G. Turner gave vocal Sc
lections. w. Love rendered some fav-
orite Scotch airs on his violin in fine
style. President w. Rowe, of the Sons
of st. George, responded to the toast
of kindred Societies."

MERCHANT JAMES WILDER
AN ISLAND BOY TO OPEN BUSI-
NESS IN JAPAN.
The Ship Chandlery Line Offers Good
Field for Investment-Mr Wilder
VIII Leave Next Month.

Since Mr.. Jamie Wilder has an
nounced his intention of returning to
Japan on the Gaelic, which sails from
this port for that country on February
Q, somebody has said that he will en-
bark in business there.
This somebody also stated in his
conversation that Mr.. Wilder would be
at the head of a concern which would
deal exclusively in ship chandlery
goods; that he had associated himself
with an American company and that
the new business would be launched
shortly after Mr.. Wilder's arrival in
Japan.
If this be true there will be no gues-
ton of the success of the enterprise,
simply because of Mr.. Wilder's connec-
ton with it. That Jamie will evolu-
tionize things in this line is certain.
He will change the tactics while in
quest of business. Instead of jollying
the sea captain along by presenting
him with a pocket knife, jamie, so it
is said, will tell him humorous stories.
This novel plan will undoubtedly reap
a harvest of orders for the new COM
pany.
Mr.. Wilder says that he is looking
for that somebody" who gave his
secret away, with stick. Jamie was
on his bicycle when he said this and
he begged to be excused from being
interviewed on the matter today, for
he was afraid that he would not be
able to get on his wheel again should
he stop. Orders for anchors, chains,
oils, paints and other appurtenances
to big ship do not come easy and he
was sorry that an inkling of his plans
had leaked out.

will PROSTATE that industry. This is
absurd to any one who is acquainted
with the condition of things.
''The sugar industry of Hawii is well
established. The plantations are near
ly all controlled by American capital.
This same sugar which would go in
duty free under annexation has been
going in for many years and still the
beet industry in California has con-
tinued to grow, At present it is not
yet fully established.
'"rhe total consumption of sugar in
the United States every year is 2,oOo,-
900 tons and this is increasing 100000
tons annually. Hawaii's total eXpor-
tation to this country is little over
100000 tons. But the sugar trust IS
hoggish."
Speaking further on annexation, Mr.
Spreckels said: 'It is not going to be
a fight that will be won hands down
You people in Hawaii must act in con-
cert and must make a determined and
earnest effort of you hope to win. Re
member you have the big sugar trust
as well as the sugar beet raisers
against you, and that is great deal

SMALL BUSINESS.

The Vice President of the United

Of causing an Erie railroad en-

he obeyed orders.

faithful service. Seagrass had charge
Of the gates admitting passengers
from the waiting-room to the train
sheds in Jersey City. Acting under
the strictest orders he refused to al
low passengers through the gates
until the trains are ready.
This is his version of the episode:
He was at his post Thursday after
noon when tall, heavy man at
tempted to force his way past the
usher and the gates.
"You cannot go through there,
sir, until the train is ready"
"Here's my card" said the man.

IT MAY come to pass that Daw-

BIG LITTLE MEN

The goldites are pointing to the
raise i'd the price Of wheat and
shouting that prosperity is at hand,
giving the new administration the
credit for causing the famine in
India, the drouth in Argentina and
short crops in Australia and Rus
STA, which has been the cause OF
the advance in the price of wheat.
They are also pointing with pride
to the decline in the price of silver,
and asking what has become of the
silver mems argument that silver
controls the price of all farm pro-
duce. The argument is as good as
ever, other things being equal. 1t
is not an argument, but an ahso-
lutte fact. The Republicans have
claimed that the law of supply and
demand is what controls the price
of commodities, and this is correct.
The demand for American wheat
abroad is what has made the price
60 to SO high a figure. There is a
great demand for money, but a
combination of dealers plan to
raise the price of one OF the stand
ard money metals by demonetizing
silver, or rather stop the demand
for it by enacting a law which says
it shall not be coined into money.
When you make law saying that
silver shall not be made into money
equally with gold you naturally
stop the demand for. silver and in
crease the demand for gold. We
take it that if congress passed a
law saying wheat should not be
used to make bread, and paid as
strict attention to seeing that the
law was enforced as they have in
seeing that silver has not been coin
ed, that corn or some other cereal
would be in great demand and its
price would be greater than that of
wheat. This is just what the gold
gamblers and money lenders have
done with silver SO far as wheat
is concerned the price of it would
have raised under any kind of an
administration with similar con
ditions of starvation in other coun-
tries and like call for our supply.
And when that demand ceases the
price will drop to as low, if not to a
lower figure, than it has been held
at before.

THERE seems to be no limit to
the ambition of the Japanese. That
nation, according to late dispatches,
is still using every art known in
diplomacy to annex the Hawaiian
Islands, and if Uncle Sam does not
get move on soon the little brown
men will have him surrounded.
Not only is Japan trying to secure
the islands, but she is even trying
to secure control of the Nicaragua
canal, and is secretly negotiating
with the Diet of the Central Ameri-
can Republic for the abrogation of
the treaty between Central America
and this country, and the construc-
ton of the canal. The next thing
we know japan will want to annex
