fourteen men, (renegades to the land

Of Infamy and Disgrace, and as an
evidence of ignorance and imbecility

further suggest, that it should
bear not only the signatures, but
the photographs around it of the
signers, and when it is clearly shown
as it surely will be, that America
has no intention to sully her fair
name and record, by lending herself
to such monstrous steal, then the
photograph will be one Of the most
valued mementoes of the mistakes
of "the best government ever had
on Hawaii" and the signers will be
willing to buy up each and every
copy at ten times its value, and do
as those did who signed the Lottery
petition, deny their signatures, and
steal the sheets from the State
Archives. But the question is, "Will

Characteristic Remarks.

Two quaint sayings of President
Kruger are mentioned in the Cape
Times in commenting upon the
speeches by Sir William Harcourt
and Mr.. Chamberlain. Brother"
said President Kruger, solemnly, to
President Steyn, at their ceremonial
meeting year or so ago, "remem-
ber that trouble with the English
and trouble with the Germans are
very different things. If people fall
out with the Kaiser he may send an
army to crush them, and there's an
end. But if you fall out with Eng
land you need only wait bit, wait
a bit, and the more one party is
against you the more the other
party will come on your side" A

VANCOUVER, B. G., Sept. 6.-The
following named telegraph msgnates
held closed meeting to-day in
Vancouver in connection with the
proposed cable line from Vancouver
to Australia: George G.. Ward, vice
president and general manager Of
the Commercial Gable Company; s..
S. Dickinson, superintendent OF the
company at Canso, Nova Scotia,
where the Canadian Pacific line con-
meets with the Atlantic cable; r. v.

superintendent OF Canadian Pacific
telegraphs; l.. W. Storror, superin-
tendent Pacific Postal Telegraph
SouPuhJ'
After the meeting no news of
direct nature could be obtained re-
garding the business transacted,
but statements were freely made
that inside information obtained
warranted the announcement that
Canadian Pacific cable from Van
couver to Australia would be an as.
sured fact at comparatively early
date, and that the present meeting
had to do with some very import ant
preliminary arrangements in which
Millionaire John W. Mackay is to
take very prominent part
Mr.. Storror stated that his COM
pany would, of course, handle the
Pacific cable work at this end, and
that he, with others, would inspect
the proposed landing stages in Bri-
tish Columbia at once. The entire
party will leave for Victoria to
morrow. 1t is said that some of
the members will be passengers on
the outgoing Australian boat for
Hawai-. Many other indications
that the long-proposed British
scheme is about to materialize are
promised to occur 10 quick succession

Senator Morgan comes here as an
avowed annexationist. 1t is to be
presumed that he comes here in a
private capacity, or he would have
followed the example of Mr.. Blount
and declined to accept the hospi-
tality of private individuals, indi-
rectly connected with the Govern
ment. If the Senator desires to
learn the truth and nothing but the
truth he will not be satisfied by
seeing one side of the question, and
confine himself to listen to the Dole
faction altogether The "other"
side is deserving Of being heard, and
our distinguished visitors will very
soon find that it is the side on
which justice, honor, and the peo-
pie are to be found.

in the Hawaiian language will short
ly be published from the printing
house of the Bulletin. The policy
OF the new paper will be of the same
wishy- washy stripe as that of the

that it is simply to be called into

GUARDING QUEEN VICTORIA.

Extraordinary Precautions Taken
to Protect Her and Royal Guests.
The public may never know all the
details of the arrangements of the
British political police for safeguards
ing the queen and some Of her royal
visitors against criminals and cranks
on Jubilee day. They were on a pro
digious scale and included the use OF
police agents from every capital in Eu-
rope. Inspector Melville was in charge
and he admits that he never worried
harder MOI had a more anxious time.
British revolutionists had been boast
ing and threatening all sorts of things.
Rllmors of dynamite preparations had
been current for a couple of months.
The impression prevailed that the exr
plosion by which a train on the under
ground railroad was wrecked, a month
ago, was a rehearsal for the Jubilee
plot. There are grounds for believing
that something of the kind was contem-
plated, but the plan was abandoned be-
cause men We're not found with the
courage to take the risks involved.
Then it was decided to flood the line
Of the procession with revolutionary
literature. This wild scheme was given
up because there were no funds to do
business upon flooding scale, and com
rades in the printing business were SO
lost to a proper sense Of duty as to re-
quire payment in advance.
As far as the police are able to ais
certain, only n man ventured to dis
tribute leaflets. He had only lust start
ed when he was grabbed and hustled
to Scotland Yard. He had several hum
dred leaflets poorly printed. On one
side was a jubilee hymn in gIorifca-
tlon of rebellion. On the other side
was a proclamation signed: London
Revo%lutionists." 1t unpolitely speaks
of the queen as a 'fat old woman. evil
