Weekly cotton Review.

the bulls and the bears. The low price of
the week was recorded on Monday. when

New Orleans at 525, and the high point
was Thursday. when 5s4 in New York and
5.4s IN New Orleans was paid for that
option. The market today sod at the low
point In New orleans. and withia 3 points
of the lowest In New York, closing with
slight rally on some covering by shorts.
The features of the week have been the
advance in anticipation of the bureau,
and the quick decline after It's publication,
and the heavy receipts. which are causing

New YORK, August A special
to the Herald from Washington
says: An ultinatum has been pre-

immediate payment of the McCord

coercion is made in case of refusal
the note makes the statement that

considered as injurious to the cord

SENATORS TO COME.
Morgan and Quay TO Study Up
Annexation In Rawali.

AnneXdIlOn In nHWHI.
New YORK, August IA dispatch
from Atlantic City says that Senator
Matt Quay, informally acting as the
agent for the Committee on Foreign
Relations will make a personl visit
to Hawaii to make thorough study
Of the country and its advantages
and disadvantages. He will make
report upon the reconvening OF Con-
gress in December, upon the feasibi-
iity and advisability of confirming
the treaty OF annexation.
Senator Quay will leave August
18th, and after three weeks fishing
trip, will 60 direct to San Francisco
and sail to Hawaii. He viii return
as soon as possible and submit the
report OF his observations to the
Foreign Relations Committee.
Senator Morgan will also leave
September 1st for Hawaii as a Rep
resentative of the Foreign Relations
Committee. He will be absent till
December. Senator Morgap's re-
port will be looked forward to with
great interest by public mon, and
his statement, it is safe to say, will
be a strong appeal for annexation.
1t will do much to make the an
nexing OF the Hawaiian islands a
certainty.

MIsUNDER STANDINGS.

1t is n atural that in a small COM
munity like Honolulu, misunder-
standings will arise from time to
time even among friends, but it is a
pleasing trait in the character Of
our people that all are anxious to
correct supposed errors and to dis
pei any feelings Of dissatisfaction
or ill-will enormously created.

TOPICS or THE DAY.

The Hawaiians and their friends
opposed to sacrificing the iudepend-
ence OF the country ought to rally
now and enter a solemn protest
against the unwarrantsd actions Of
the unscrupulous sdventurers who
have stolen these islands. There is
no time to lose.

The New Admiral.

HE INDEPENDENT welcomes Ad-
mirsl Miller to Hawaii. The Ad-
miral will find several old friends
here who have stood shoulder to
shoulder with him in days gone by.
The following is description of the
Admiral and his staff.
Admiral Miller is native Of
Springfield, o. He was not quite
Is years OF age when he entered the
Naval Academy in October, 1851, as
an active midshipman. He was
graduated with honors in June,
1854, after serving two years on the
frigate Independence in the Pacific,
he was promoted to passed midship-
man in November, 1856, his TWEEN
tieth birthday. He saw some stirring
service on the Florida Coast during
the exciting times OF the war and
was aboard when the brig captured
the privateer Savannah. The Ad-
miral belongs to the old school of
line officers and has many good
qualities as an officer that make him
loved by the officer and men under
him.
Accompanying him on his trip
are Lieutenant T. S. Rodgers, his
flag lieutenant, and Lieutenant
Philip Andrews, his flag secretary.
The former belongs to one OF the
largest families OF naval men ever
identified with the United States
Navy. His father was Admiral G.
r. p. Rodgers, and one Of his uncles
is Captain Jack Rodgers, captain of
the Light House Board at New
York. Lieutenant Commander Ray
mond Rodgers is his brother and he
also has a cousin who holds a posi-
tion as Lieutenant in the service.

That gentleman was seen this
merning and stated that neither he
nor any other official of the Repub-
lie had any responsibility in regard
to the management of the funeral
OF Mr.. Hawes. The gentlemen hav-

ernment for an escort, which was
willingly furnished, the authorities
also sending the Governmental
band, and police officers besides the
highest officials attending in body.
