ssIE HE WANTS BIMETALLYSsa HE
GAN HAVE III.

According to Wharton Barker, Of the
North American. President Mckinley
''can have bimctallsm If he wants It,"
Mr.. Barker, who Is one Of the foremost
champions Of bimetailism. has just re-
turned from Europe, where he went In
the interest or silver demonstration, de-
clares that II Is within the power Ut the
President to settle the question Of BIZ
mctallsm at once, IL he VIII tell the
American people what he means by in
ternatlonal bimeta1lism. and really
wants to do the correct thing In an
article on the subject. Mr.. Barker has
this to say. and there does not appear to
be any uncertainty about what he
means:
The American has direct and
reliable information as to what the
Government Of Great Britain can
and cannot do at this time. If the
PRESIDENT means to stand by the
gold standard unless Great Britain
opens the London.a minis to silver
there cannot be International bimet-
allism. There can be bimetallism by
international agreement If the Pres
ident earnestly wishes It, Great
Britain VIII not he a. party to any
international monetary conference
assembled for mere talk But II Mr..
Mckinley Is earnest In his effort. to
attain bimetallism the British Gov
eminent VIII go SO far to aid the
United States and France In restor-
inf IT as To open the Indian mints
The K:itish Government, will make
tentative agreement with the
American and French Governments
to this effect. Until such tentative
agreement Is made 1t will not take
part In any International conference.
It will enter into a conference for
the settlement Of detail, but not
to consider general plans for the
re-est establishment Of bimet all.sm,
that can he settled now, and must
be settled In advance Of the holding
of any International conference, for
the British Government will not
take part In any movement that Is
not made In good faith"
He declares that the matter can be
settled at once, and adds
I'VE now say bimctallsm by
agreement Of Great Britain. France
and tho United States can be OBJ
tanned almost at once, II the PrtsI-
dent and the Republican party VIII
accept the opening Of the indian
mints as Britair's contribution.
Let President Mckinley define
his position. IF he Is in the hands
of the gold standard men who elect
cd him and ready to do their bidd-
Ing. let him say so. If he Is true
to his promises, let him prove It by
his acts. He has no right to dilly

IAsTlIE pnEsIDENr BEEN DUrED:

There appears 20 be more in the
scheme to annex the Hawaiian islands
than appears upon the surface. In
fact the Hawaiian statesmen" appear
to have played upon the fears Of Presi-
dent Mckinley and have used the Jap
have said to the President that unless
annexation to the United States was
completed this year closer relations
would be established with Great Dri-
tain, President Dole having written to
this effect TO Major Mckinley
Colonel j. w. McF'arlane, a prominent
Hawaiian. who was chamberlain to the
late King OF Hawaii said 10 represcn-
tative Of the Associated Press In Lon
don on Monday last:
Il quite agree with the statement
OF the Japanese Minister at Wash
ington that the NIikados government
has no designs whatever on Hawaii
she does not wish to obtain politi-
cal control there. The trouble with
Japan arises through a demand for
a settlement of q claim made by the
Japanese emigration companies for
unlawfully restraining some Japan
csc laborers intended for work on
the sugar estates on the Islands from
landing a t Honolulu.
THAT Japan Will use this quarrel
rs a pretext for taking possession OF
the islands or OF assuming political
control I regard as utterly absurd
But there cannot be any doubt that
the Japanese question has been
used rs lever for forcing the hand
of Mr. Mckinley and his administra-
ton. The threat of esta blishing
closer relations with Great Britain
or Of concluding reciprocity CONNER
ctal treaties with Canada and Aus
tralia probably influenced the United
States far more than the Japanese
bogy."
This. assuming 1t to be true, and
looks reasonable, is peculiar condition
of affairs. Here Is the head OF the Re
public being duped by n handful Of nd
venturers In Hawaii, and war a. possible
result, simply because the man at the
head Of the nation doesn't know hit
business. Whether Hawaii is annexed
or not 1t looks as though President Nc
Kinlcy has been made "a plaything" by
Dole ana his coadjutors. and 1t
enough to bring the blush Of shame t
every true American.

DELIBERATE BTsINEXs DasTuTsn.
ASCE.

Tho New York Herald charges that
Instead OF passing q simple law Tor rove
nuc. admitting that additional revenue,
even with clear balance In the Urea
sury Of S140.000.GG0 is necessary, that
the Republican party and tile aLmlnIs-
tration ''has adopted instead q policy of
deliberate business disturbance" Since
last December they have been tlnltcrIlig
at the tariff, having free Roadway in
Congress, and have not yet been able to
reach an agreement, and there is no
telling when they will.
The Pittsburg Post, commenting on
the Herald's assertion, points to the
wool market as an Illustration Of the
business disturbance resulting from
compliance with the trust demands for
q little more protection. The imports
of wool for the four months ending
with June have reached an aggregate OF
227 .462. 900 pounds, as compared with 49,.
$4,000 pounds for the corresponding
months OF last year. For the whole OF
the year 1886 the raw wool importations
were less than for the last four months
of 1897
Che of the leading wool manufacture
ers Of the United States in a commu-
nication to the New York World sums
up the situation as follows: ''All the
factories have bought all the wool they
| can carry; all the dealers in wooden
goods have bought all the wooden goods
their credit at the bank would permit:
all Of them are heavily overstocl.cd
the weaker ones must sell their goods
this autumn or 60 into insolvency.; they
are already negotiating ruinous reduc-
tons of prices In order to accomplish
this: and what Is true OF the wooden
trade is true in greater or less degree
Of all other trades affected by the pend.
Ing tariff
This. says the Post. Is the policy Of
deliberate disturbance OF business for
the advantage Of the overgorged trusts.
It makes the future more gloomy rather
than brighter 1t postpones the restora-
ton OF business confidence and the re-
vival Of Industrial prosperity.

EXCITING CONTESTS.
Tug.of-War at Bristol's Pavilion
SATURDAY. Night.

Tug Of-War at Sr'IStolS PAVILION
Saturday Night.
The largest audience during the tug
of-war carnival assembled at the pa
vilion Saturday night, and the enthusi
asm ran high The teams were evil
IDENTIFY out for blood, for they held on
with bulldog tenacity until the
strength of one side gave way to the
superior endurance of the other
While the crews of the American war
ships have proven worthy foemen to
the Hawaiian boys, their strength or
endurance have been surpassed.
The first pull on Saturday was be-
tween the two Hawaiian teams, Wal
kiki and Makani Hoeo. From the start,
the Waikiki boys took up the slack and
held it, taking the rope inch by inch
and then longer jumps for 27 minutes,
| when they had the required five feet.
Then came the boys from the Mar
| ion, with their friendly rivals, the Pa
kaka, or boat boys. For 30 minutes
| they tugged, the Marions never get
| ting the center string on their side,
though they made tremendous efforts,
and evidently did their best. The
greatest interest was in the pull be-
tween the undefeated Honolulu Iron
Works team and the sturdy bluejackets
from the Philadelphia. Though not
winning an event so far, the Philadel-
| phia boys have been found hard nuts
to crack. This pull was unques-
tionably the gem of the series, for
the iron works crew got their rope an
inch at a time. Even when the indi-
Gator showed they had within two
inches of the required length of rope
and the excitement was at fever heat
it required seven minutes to pull the
sailors over. This pull lasted So min
utes. and was exciting from start tC
finish.
The sailor boys won considerable
money on it, as bets were freely Offered
and taken that they could not hold
out 80 minutes.
Tomorrow night the pulls will be
tgood The first will be between the
| Waikiki team and the Honolulu Iron
Works Later, the great rivals-Mar'
ion and Philadelphia teams-will pull
against each other for the first time
Following is the present standing OF
the different teams:

MISSION SOCIETY
Annual Meeting Held Fri
day Night.
Some Changes in Appropriations.
Arrangements for Com
ing Year.

At the regular annual meeting of the
Hawaiian Mission Children's Society,
held at the home of ]. B. Atherton,
King street, Thursday night, there was
a goodly representation of members.
The evening was devoted entirely TO
business.
The first business was a recommen-
dation on the part of the Board of Mall
ayers TO change article IA of the con
stitution so as to read as follows:
Art. IA. Alterations in or additions
TO this constitution may be made at
any regular meeting by vote of three
fourths of the members present, such
alterations or additions having been
handed in, in writing, at the previous
meeting, through the Board of Man
agers.'
This was unanimously carried.
Article was amended to read as
follows:
art. 8. The officers of the society
shall be a president, vice president,
recording secretary, two or more cor
responding secretaries and a treasurer,
all of whom shall be elected by ballot
at the annual meeting of the society,
to hold office for one year.
Unanimously passed.
The question of appropriations for
the coming year, as recommended by
the Board of Managers, was now taken
up. 1t was voted that the appropria-
tions for the corresponding secretaries
| be changed from $50 to $3.50. This is
| necessitated by the increase of work
| of these officers, and the expectation
| that they will have more work to do
| during the coming year.
The discussion was then taken up on
the balance of appropriations. While
! the treasurer was not present, it was
found that in all probability the appro-
| priations would be fully met at the
close of the year, nearly 81 900 having
come in in a very short period.
Some of the members thought that
it was taking too much upon them
selves for those present to appropri-
ate such large amount when only {
few of the large contributors made III
the amount at the end of the year.
This discussion was followed by the
statement on the part of the president
that large contributors gave as freely
and gladly to the Cousins Society a!
the smaller contributors, and that the!
took pleasure in making the Cousins
the stewards for these amounts.
| A number stated that these sums ap
propriated for the various school!
must be met in some way, and if con
tributions did not come through thu
Cousins, some parties would be asked
to contribute through other channels
1t was suggested that the pledge sys
tenn, not continued last year, be agar
taken up during the ensuing year.
1t was suggested that a saving coulC
be made in the printing of the annua
report by emitting the printing of the
constitution and list of members eacl
year This part takes up about one
half of the 90 report.
The matter was finally left with the
Board of Managers to decide on.
The appropriations for the ensuing
year were now passed on as follows:
Where appropriations are for pupil:
in any school it would be understood
that the preference be given the chill
dren of missionaries.
