HAWAII

The Examiner this morning contained
a somewhat sensational article on Haw-
allan affairs, taken from information re-
ceived from Col. BeardsIey OF the navy
department. It Is implied that trou Bile
is brewing ard that the Royalists are
preparing to cause trouble, arranging for
meeting preparatory to taking action.
hr. George Otterson, who left this noon
Tor Seattle, where he will visit q couple
OF weeks, mention 81 whom was made
yesterday. and who came up on the same
steamer with Mr.. Beardsley, informs the
DEMOCRAT that there is nothing in the
matter at all Odt OF a population of
lO6, 900 only about 1000 are royalists
men possessing little power there. The
natives have generally signed petitions
for annexation, though they are easily
Influenced into new things, and are in
iavor OF the movement. The Japs, in
stead OF being strong there, are not of
sufficient numbers to have much stand
ing.
In view OF the great interest in the
Sandwich Islands the DEMOCRAT has Sc
cured from Mr. 0tteFson the following
interesting statements in reference to
the islands and their industries:
The Hawaiian Islands are situated on
the very edge of the tropics, but their
position in mid ocean and the prevalence

most polished gentlemen il is ones priyi-
lege to meet. Mr.. and Mrs. 0i,erson
left Honolulu on August 18th. He re-
ports the sentiment there among all
classes ripe for annexation, and had
there been any display by the Iaps the
American flag would have been raised

by Japan made tfis unnecessary. freEi-
dent Dole stands high there, q man re-
spected by the peoeie, and Minister Sew
ell he reports very popular. He is now
building an elegant palace. Americans
now have $4e, ,000, 900 invested there and
hence most interested in the proper gov
ernment OF the islands. The Japs are
now being replaced by men from other
countries as an experiment. The wealth
OF the country mas been principally in
sugar; but now coffee is forging ahead
and promises to become an industry OF
sufficient magnitude 10 supply the en-
tire U. S. While in San Francisco Mr..
Oiterson met Mr.. BaIlou. one OF the
leading coffee men OF the island. who is
greatly encouraged by the prospects.
There as well as in the U. s. people

ASSESSING X X 's.-Whe,her or not tie
mileage system Is an equitable system
a. between the couniies is another ques-
ton. For instance Douglas conn,y has
about ll6 miles OF read bed. Lane about
10 and Linn about %. At $500 per
mile Douglas county taxes the railroad
at valuation of s5s0. 900 exclusive OF
rolling stock, while Lane would have bat
500 900 and Linn sl5o,oo0: and yet
either county contributes much more to
the revenues ofehe road than Douglas.
This is our good fortune and their mis-
fortune; but the question arises, IS i,
equity iiy?-P.Aindealer.

Facts speak. Threshing Crews have run

great damage to hops. The hops in the
