If Hawaii becomes American terri
torv. the protective tariff will give to
Americans practically all of it's present
foreign trade, and an Immensely larger
trade which will spring into existence
under the influence of a stable Gov
eminent, fertile soil and a free mar
ket.
FOURTH REASON IN FAVOR OF
THE ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
1t will greatly increase and secure
to the United States the shipping busl-
ness of the islands.
Hawaii is to-day the main stay OF
the American merchant marine engaged
in deep-sea foreign trade.
A table is given showing the number
of entries in American ports, of Amer
lean ships, from foreign countries, DUR
ing the year ending June 80, 1896, viz:
Ships.
From all Europe ................. ~
From all Asia ......... %
From all Australasia ............. 81
From all Africa q
From the United Kingdom ........ %
From all the Pacific Islands, other
that Hawaii. .....'-.- oo
From Hawaii .l91
Or. in other words, Hawaii furnished
cargoes for 191 American ships, and
all the world besides, outside OF the
American continent, furnished cargoes
for only 29S American ships.
Tables are given showing that 24i
American ships did about 80 per cent.
Of the business of Hawaii in 1896.
After annexation, the coasting trade
laws will apply, and freight and pas
sengers can be carried between Ha-
wall and other parts of the United
States in American vessels only.
AS the American tariff will bear out
almost all imports from foreign coun-
tries, practically the whole freightlng
business of Hawaii will be with the
United States and will be transacted
by American vessels. With the in
crease of population and commerce UNI
der annexation, the number of Ameri-
can vessels required in the Hawaiian
trade will double.
FIFTH REASON IN FAVOR OF THE
ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
1t will remove Hawaii from inter-
national politics, and tend to promote
peace III the dC1uC Wy 0llhiHdl 1hS All
otherwise certain source of information
al friction.
Within the past eighty-five years
Hawaii has been taken possession of:
Once by Russia, once by England,
twice by France, and by reason of hos
tile demonstrations, creating the fear of
foreign conquest, cession of the country
to the United States was made in 1851,
and a treaty of annexation negotiated
in 1854
Since 1874 on four occasions, foreign
troops have landed for the protection
of the interests of the several nations
there represented.
The existing conditions in the world,
and more particularly in the Pacific,
render it unsafe to suppose that there
will be no further conflict of interests
in Hawaii
DEVELOPMENT OF PACIFIC COUN-
TRIES

ment of the Pacific Coast of Siberia,

Petersburg to the Pacific, and the fore

Is DRIFTING JAPAN
WARDS.

regardless of the declarations of the
'apdIIese Government, Hawaii has.
against the will and efforts of its Gov
eminent and people, drifted Japan-
wards during the past two years: and
| unless radical action is taken to stav
the process there can be but one logi-
cal result. viz: The ultimate sunrem-
acy of the Japanese, and thereby of
Japan. in Hawaii This will be ac-
complished in the teeth of the Ameri-
can policy of exclusion of foreign con-
trol, and with no tangible overt act on
the part of the japanese Government.
THE ISSUE IN HAWAII.
The controversy with Japan is the
preliminary skirnish in the. great COM
| ing struggle between the civilizations
of the East and of the West. The is
sue in Hawaii is whether, in that inev-
liable struggle, Asia or America shall
have the vantage ground of the con-
| troll of the naval Key of the Pacific, -
the commercial Crossroads of the Pa
| cific"
| All that is now holding Hawaii from
retrograding into an Asiatic outpost is
a handful of resolute and determined
men. But there is a limit to their
| strength, and if help is to come in time
| it must come soon. Annexa ton will
| settle the issue and maintain American
control in Hawaii and nothing else will.
| THIRD REASON IN FAVOR OF AN
NEXATION OF HAWAII.
1t will increase many fold and secure
to the United States the commerce of
the islands.
Statistics are given showing that al
ready Hawaii is the largest consumer
of American products of any country
bordering on the Pacific imports from
the United States during 1896 amount
ing to S5,464, 600
These results have been achieved in
affording to Hawaii, under the reci-
procity treaty. free market for prac-
tically, only three of her products, viz:
Sugar, rice and bananas, while under
annexation, the country would have a
free market for all products.
| In 1896 Hawaii had a foreign trade
of over sos per capita for every man.
woman and child in the country, a
record almost unparalleled in history.
! Hawaii can support a population of
a million as easily as it does hundred
thousand.
Even this increase will place its COM
| merce in the front rank of American
export trade.

Raging Floods.

Four railway washouts, S25 600 fire,
and host of minor losses, epitOmize
the evil results of the storm which
prevailed in Denver and southeastern
sections of the state generally from
near the other night until a little after
midnight. A cloud burst on the slope
of Pixies Peak shut off traffic on the
Rio Grande and Mid and lines between
Manitou and Colorado Springs. Six
teen miles out of Denver, the Julesberg
tracks were washed out in spots for a
mile in length. Leaving at 1870
o'clock the Union Pacific train for
Chicago stalled at Union depot A
washout on the Burlington and Mis-
souri, road occurred near Barr station,
the $50 train over that line for the
east was not al BILE to leave Denver until
this morning. Men were at work all
night repairing damages done by the
storm. Many parts of this city are
flooded. 1t is feared ranchmen living
in the low lands to the east of this
point have lost heavily in stock and
build ngs by last nights floods.

Recovering Letters by Mail.

The public is not familiar tn it's
privileges about postal matters as
might be supposed. Many times peo-
pie would like to recall a |. tier after it
has been mailed. This can be done,
even if the letter has reached the
postOffice of it's destination. At every
pOstnffice there are what are called
withdrawal blanks - On applicat on
they will be furnished, and when a
deposit is made to cover the expense,
the postmaster will telegraph to the
pOstma ster at the letters destination
asking that it be promptly returned.
In many cases persons have made re-
mittances to fraudulent parties or ir-
responsible firms, not learning their
true chara ter until after the letter
had gone. aud have succeeded in re-
calling them. There is an instance
where a Kansas City merchant had
RENTED a dishonest travelling man a
draft for Sl75, and by means of with
drawal rescued the draft just in time.

A dispatch from Princeton. N.

A dispatch from Princeto ton. n. j..
dated June 10, gives the following ac-
count of the new pitching gun that is
used by the Princeton base ball team .
''Princeton's patent baseball pitch
ing gun was decided success today,
eight strike-OutS, one base on balls, one
wild pitch and four safe hits being the
record in three innings today in the
first test of the machines practicability
in an actual game. Mines represen at,
ing the Ivy Club and Tiger Inn, two of
PrincetOn's social clubs, played a
match game, using the gun to pitch for
both teams, and the contest attracted
a large crowd of interested spectators
prominent among whom were Mrs.
Cleveland with a party of friends and
many Princeton profe ssors, who came
to see with what success Princeton 5
invention Won meet.
''The gun is discharged by the bats
man. who, when ready for the ball to
be delivered, steps upon an electrical
intercepting plate connected with
wires from the trigger of the cannon.
The speed with which the ball is
thrown is regulated by compressed air,
and prOnglike pro ectors f.Om the can
mons mouth imparL rotary motion to
the sphere when discharged, prOducin y
a curve in any direction, according as
the position OF the projecting prOngS is
changed.
There is but one serious defect in
the operation of the machine that will
prevent its use in games, and is the
long time required for reloading
This was especially noticeable in to-
days game, because the intercep,ing
plate was out of order, and the frequent
delays thereby necessitated did not
allow the game to be finished. Three
innings only were played. During the
first iunipg the batsmen were timd
about standing near the plate and the
big outcurves caused them to Jun,
back, but as the gun threw strikes ia
every instance they plucked up courage
stood closer to the plate and succeeded
occasionally in making safe hits.
The game was embarrassing, exceptiue
for the novelty OF seeing the pitchers
box occupied by the machine. The
Ivy club won by a score of I to 3.
