HAWAII d0TTlsGS.

At the recent annual meeting of the
National Convention of the Republican
Leagues of the United States, held in
Detroit, the platform adopted indorses
the acts and policies of President Nc
Kinley and favors the annexation of
Hawaii. Some 700 delegates were in
attendance

emigration laws were enacted
Ibv Japan, which instead of pro-
Imoting, prevented the flooding of
the islands by Japanese under
this arrangement and guarded by
these laws, emigration went on
until last February, when sudden
" the Hawaiian Government re-
fused to permit some Japanese to
land, although, as the Japanese
| Government claims, the emf
grants came precisely as others
| before them had Gomez . claims
for damages were made at once.
but pending the negotiation the
cry was raised that the Japanese
had hostile intention against the
islands, and the hasty conclusion
of the treaty followed" under
these circumstances, Japan has
certainly the right to expect no
tice of the intended treaty. and
a right TO be consulted and heard
in behalf of her people, and to
complain of the deception prac
tised by Mr.. Sherman, who, she
asserts, promised that hasty ac-
ton should not be taken"
Although Harper's Weekly, I'M
der the influence of Mr.. Carl
Shurz, opposes the project of an
nexatiOn, it does not intend to
present the facts incorrectly. But
it has done so. We admit that
the treaty rights, and the Con
vention rights, and the rights and
liabilities under our municipal
laws, on the subject of immigra-
ton are rather confusing, and
have not yet been clearly stated
for public use. Nor has the diplo-
matte correspondence been fully
published, and the sources of in
formation are limited.
1t would hardly be fair to us, for
Harper's Weekly to influence it's
several hundred thousands of
readers, until it is in possession
of the correct facts.
We have been told that the Ha
waiian Government and cOmmun
ity will not fairly state the case,
and must not be believed. This
is an error A correct statement
of the case will be made before |
long, and the law bearing upon it. |
The controversy involves some |
points which the lawyers would |
call delicate, but which the aver
age layman will dispose of in a
breath.
The American people were
quite chagrined at the Behring sea
Judgment against them. The
Press, as usual, had 1t all one way, /
''a clear case" mo doubt about
it," Few papers, and those only
of the pessimistic order attempted
to make an impartial statement.
So the people felt good, waited
for a favorable deci-
sion called the men of the impair
tial Press, ''bloody Britishers,"
and then got badly left.
In all probability the most can
did and impartial statement of
the case, will convince the infiuen-
tial Harper's Weekly that it has
the matter.

AN IMPORTANT ELECTION.

There is a singular lack of in
terest in the coming election for
members of the House. Those
who support the Government, ap-
parentlv assume that the Repub-
lie has seen its first and last
Legislature, by reason OF the GER
tainty of annexation.
They are like a public audience
at the close of services who begin
to rise, put on hats, and move out,
while the voice of the chairman
announcing further business is
not heard.
To those who are SO con
fident of annexation within the
next six months, nothing can
be said which will disturb
their faith They were as conf
dent of annexation in '93. 1t is a
question of temperament, and
that cannot be changed. 1t is the
confidence in uncertainties which
the gold prospectOr has in every
hole he digs in the mountain.
Those, however, who believe
that annexation is highly proba-
bic, but still uncertain, should
look at once into the matter OF
elections for the coming Legisla-
ture. \ hostile House may en-
barrass the project of annexation
through it's moral influence. Ratl-
fication of the treaty by the Sen
ate may be deferred until after
the 4th of March,. and not be
finally concluded until the "lOng
session" is we'll along. Foolish
conduct by hostile House might
not defeat, but it could embarrass
the project of union. The com
plexiOn of the next House is,
therefore. q very serious matter.
A serious mistake may be made
if we let 90 the branches on the
side of the political stream before
we get a firm hold on the branches
of the other side.
OF course time, work, and
thought, as we'll as money for in
cidental expenses, may be wasted,
if annexation is promptly made
in '9S, and Congress takes immed-
late action in our local affairs.
But if the consideration of the
treaty is not promptly made, and
the matter lies over, from time to
time, as it may, our own Legisla-
lature will have been in session,
and it's laws will have force under
the treaty, if ratified. For this
reason alone, the matter of the
next election must be earnestly
considered. There is an element
of danger in failure to realize
the situation.

A sCoW oAPsizED.
And Other Interesting Things Happened
Along shore Yesterday.

Late yesterday afternoon the tow Doat
connected with the big dredging ma
chine took scow loaded with mud TO
the dumping ground outside the harpor.
The mud in the scow was frozen and TINS
made the craft top heavy. When the
heavy sea was encountered off the Cape
the scow suddenly capsized. A man
usually remains on the scow to operate
the dumping machinery, but fortunately
for him he was taken on the tow boat
Just before the accident occurred The
mans clothing and some other articles
which were in the cabin of the scow were
lost. The capsizing of the scow gave
ground for the rumor that a man had
been drowned when the accident &C.
CURED, but the facts as given to the
PRESS reporter last night OF board the
scow, were as stated above. The over
turned scow was brought into the harbor
still bottom upwards, and moored for the
hts.alongside the other scow.
The Allan liner Laurentian, which re-
emily sailed from this port with 400 cattle
and 1919 sheep, reached the other side
with a loss of but two sheep.
THE neighhorhood of Peaks and House
islands has had the reputation for some
time of being the hot bed of short lobster
traffic, so, Monday afternoon Fish War
dens Gribbin and johnson of the steam
er Gem went down the bay on little
tour of inspection. One man who had
BEEN pulling his traps attempted to get
out of the way but the steamer caught
him and found thirty short ones in his
possession. A haul was also made at
House island. The biggest find OF all,
however, came when the lobster cars be-
tween Trefethens and Evergreen landing
were looked into. Out of one car about
1000 were taken and from another 300,
all of them below the proper length.
Through the thick snow of yesterday
forenoon the handsome ocean tug Triton
steamed, pushing the largest coal carry
ing craft ahoat, the symetrical barge
Anickerbocker. She has been loading
for some time at Norfolk and has on
board 4l00 tons of Pocahontas coal for
Randall & McAllister. The passage to
this port was made in ninety hours, fair
weather being encountered all the way up
to Monday afternoon. As the barge Devon
is now at Randall q McAllisters' the
Knickerhocker came in to anchor in the
stream, and it will probably be TWO days
Eefore she comes in to the wharf. The
monster barge has four masts and a
nicely modelled bow and stern, while her
lines are moro like those of shapely
steamer. She is built for business, how
ever, and has % capacity for 1900 tons of
coal. She is $50 feet long, 81 fest beam
and "a feet deep and has fiat bottom.
The anchor that she ordinarily drops
overheard weighs $500 pounds, but she
has one in reserve that weighs five tons.

A CASE OF RENT.
Brought Before Judge Robinson of the
Municipal Court.

In the Municipal court yesterday was
civil day. Mrs. Benjamin G. Miles
claimed that Mr.. Frank w. Sterling who
had leased a part of her house at No. 6s
Bracket street last summer, had moved
out without giving her the customary
months warning and that he owed her
rent for November, a mounting to $l2. so.
She was represented by Melville A.
Floyd.
Mr.. Sterling claimed that few weeks
before he moved cut a family moved into
the other tenement in the house and the
children of the new tenant raised the
roof with their racket, and on Sundays
invited in other children to swell the
melody He tried to find Mrs. Miles to
surrender the keys of the house, but
could not succeed, and then offered them
to her daughter. Mrs. Hatch, who de-
clined to receive them unless her mother
had a months warming. Then he went
to Mr.. Floyd, Mrs. Miles lawyer, and he
declined to receive them. Then he threw
the bunch of keys at Mr.. Floyd and left.
When notice of the case was received
by tbs defendant, the latter, through
his attorney, brought q counter suit for
damage. He alleges that he WAS obliged
to go TO an expense of about SIS when he
Inoved out of the house. He had to hire
a man to take the coal out of the cellar
besides mourning other expenses. County
Attorney Libby represented Mr.. Sterling.
Judge Robinson reserved his decision.
