TILE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.

opposition is strong enough to prevent
final action by the Senate during the
present extra session, and the delay will
afford time for the people to consider
the subject more at leisure.
Why should we annex these islandsF
What is there in the proposition that
will benefit us in the United States? If
nothing is to be gained on our part, that
ought to end the matter, IL will hardly
do to adopt the accommodation policy,
which means that we should ratify the
treaty simply to accommodate the peo'
pie Of the Hawaiian Islands.
OF the islands susceptible of cultiva-
tion there are eight, with areas in square
miles as follows: Niihau, 81; Kauai
500; Oahu, 600; Molokai, go; Maui, 76Q;
Lanai, $50; Kahoolawe, 63; Hawaii,
1910; total, 0,74O. This is about equal
to ten Kansas counties. 1t is about
three.fourths the area Of Massachusetts,
and one.sixth the size Of Ohio.
Hawaii, the largest Of the group, Is
nearly as large as Connecticut 1t Is
we'll watered, and there are great many
sugar and coffee plantations established,
yielding profitable returns. A consider
able area Of good coffee land is still
uncultivated. Potatoes, corn, rice, pine
apples and beans are easily grown on all
the islands. Honolulu, the capital OF
the Republic, is situated on the island OF
Oahu, and has a population OF about
10000. The city is well lighted, has
complete telephone system and street
cars Some OF the buildings are hand
somely constructed, and there are nu-
merous stores. There are churches and
schools, with public library. There is
an excellent system of free schools, in
which the English language is used.
The teachers in many cases have been
imported from the United States. The
school system is modelled after that Of
the public school system OF the United
States. Education for all persons born
on the island is compulsory. The city
has three evening daily papers published
in English, one daily morning paper and
two weeklies. Besides these there are
papers published in the Hawaiian, Por-
tuguese, Japanese and Chinese Ian
guages, and also monthly magazines in
various tongues
A thirty.mile railroad connects the
city with the ocean. Steamers connect
the city with China and Japan. There
ia frequent steam communication with
San Francisco, once month with Vic
toris, B. c., and twice month with
New Zealand and the Australian colo
MES. The distance from San Francisco
is about 1000 miles.
The foreign trade Of the islands in
1895 amounted to more than Sl4,OOO,OOO
nearly all of which was with the United
States. The principal exports are sugar,
coffee, rice and pineapples. The imports
consist OF provisions, clothing, and gen
orally such manufactured articles as the
people need or desire.
AS to the propriety of annexation, the
matter probably will turn on the ques
tion whether it is better for the UniteC
States to own the islands and govern
them at arms length, than to protect
the people there ia their rights of sover
eighty. We have long enjoyed specia

ICE HOCKEY.
The International Game at Portland Rink
This Evening.

Weather permitting, one of the hottest
contests of the winter will take place
this afternoon at the Portland ice r1nR'
when the Canadian and American
hockey teams line up ut $50. &
Of course the Canadians are generally
expected to win because of their knowl-
edge of the game and experience on
skates. The Americans are relying on
their ice polo knowledge and Yankee
horse sense, which sometimes goes
great ways. The game will probably De

team feels it is case of do or die.

from one of your own side you must be
nearer your own goal that he, else you
will be callsd "offside." The puck can
be advanced only with the stick. The
goal tender is allowed to stop it in any
way. The teams comprise seven men
each, four Of whom are rushers and
three defensive.
The rules tend to foster team play AMI
1t Is pretty sight to see four men skat-

the puck aud then shooting for goal il
they get through the defense, much
more scientific and exciting game than
