Proposed Joint Control Of Hawaii
Years Ago.

Proposed Joint Control of Hawaii
Years Ago.
The story coming from Paris to the eff
feet that Germany has lodged a protest
with our government against the annexa-
ton Of the Hawaiian Islands has, 1t Is
said at the State Department, just this
measure Of truth in it-that the German
government did propose a joint control OF
the islands. but that was many years ago.
and the proposition was promptly declined
by the United States, without having led
to any subsequent proceedings or a renewal
of the offer.
Though no official advices have been re-
ceived at either the State Department or
the japanese legation here confirmatory
of the report that Japan has agreed to the
proposal of the Hawaiian government to
arbitrate the questions at issue between
the two governments growing out of the
immigration controversy, it Is not doubted
that this is the fact. Such unofficial in
formation as has come to hand showing
that the proffer was made and was under
consideration in Toxic all tends to war
rant the belief that this satisfactory out
come of the affair has been arranged
though there is no means of knowing what
Will be the nature of the machinery of the
arbitration, nor the exact amounts and
Issues involved. The offer of the Hawaiian
government to arbitrate the controversy
has been sanctioned by this government.

The Michigan Governor DenOunces
the Tariff in Alternative Epithets.

DETROIT, Mich, July 24.-Gov. Pingree
today wired the following message in Gu-
plicate TO President Mckinley, Senator
Burrows and Congressman Corliss and
Spaulding of Michigan:
Il regard the duty on lumber, hides and
sugar as unrepublican. unpatriotic and I'M
fair.
The lumber now used goes largely into
small homes and farm houses. and to a
class already overtaxed. The laborer wears
twice as many shoes as the millionaire,
and must contribute twice as much for the
tax hides.
He must use much sugar and pay as
much toward the duty on sugar.
1T is grossly unfair to make the poor
pay as much per capita the rich toward
the support of the government. Property
and not human stomachs should be reach
ed Property is protected by our laws and
should pay for its protection.
(Signed) H. 5. PINGREE."
