ARBITRATION PROBABLE.

The Japanese question has en-
tered upon somewhat acute
phase, if we are to believe the
japanese press, but between what
the irresponsible press urges and
what the Government will do there
is a wide gap. There is no doubt
that the Hawaiian Government &C.
cupies automatically strong posi-
ton, and that when the matter goes
to arbitration, as it seems probable
it will, the chances are very much
in favor Of satisfactory verdict as
far as Hawaii is concerned.
The Japanese are in anything but
a happy position, they started out
TO capture rabbit, but have found
not only that the rabbit has an
opinion of his own and objects to
being bulldozed, but also that he
has a very powerful friend. The
unthinking crowd looked for cheap
glory and it has not got nor is it
likely to get il.
The great mistake made by Jap
an was in displaying force by send
ing the Naniwa here. 1t was not
a case for force, it was a case for dis
cussion. The discussion is still
going on and the presence of the
warship is only an unnecessary
menace,
The return of Councillor Aki-
yame is undoubtedly for personal
conference and further instructions.
The reply he brings will probably
be in the form of an ultimatum and
from that our appeal may be to ar

COMING NEARER.

The Annexation treaty was sign
ed by President Mckinley and sent
to the Senate on June IS. 1t was
referred to the Committee on For
eign Affairs and reported upon fav-
orably. The Senate is to take the
matter up as soon as the Tariff Bill
has passed. So much say the tele-
grams.
From this it appears that the
course of the treaty, up to the pres
ent, is very smooth and there seems
no reason to think that its further
course will be endangered. Know
ing what we know here, and rea-
soning from the facts as they have
been gradually unfolded, we can
rest assured that President McKin-
ley has not entered upon the course
that he has with regard to annexa-
ton, without very careful thought
and a thorough conviction that he
can carry his plans through.
However much of a pet measure
the annexation of these Islands
might be with him, it is, on the
face of it, absolutely improbable
that man so keen in politics and
SO thoroughly conversant with par
ty methods should have risked a
rebuff at the very outset of his ca
reer. For this measure of annex
ing the Hawaiian Islands is a dis
tinct declaration of policy, and to
be defeated upon it would mean a
serious loss Of prestige.
The steamer of tomorrow may
bring us the decisive news, for,
save the sugar schedule, there was
little more to be done on the tariff
matter, and that was practically
settled.
In spite of bitter opponents and
In spite of croakers in our own
party it looks very much as if the
Fourth of July celebration, which
is at hand, would be a remarkable
one in the annals of the islands,
The eve ntfll day will be marked
not only as recalling the establish
ment of the great republic or the
birth of this little one, but as being
one on which these islands became
an actual part of the United States
and set forth upon the ocean of
history, not as an unprotected
wait, but as an actual part of that
great power which is now taking
its first decisive step towards the
dominion of the Pacific and the
control OF its commercial destinies.

JUNE 20, 1897.

One of the greatest troubles
connected with the giving ola
lawn party is the supplying of
sufficient Accommodations for
the guests. The telephone
boys, if they would talk, could
tell of Mrs. So and So asking
Mrs. to let her have a
table or two and a few hun
dred feet of awning to use at
her lawn party.
We have something new in
the table line that will not only
do away with all this bother,
but will please. those invited
and make them wonder why it
is that Mrs. So and Sos par
ties are such a success.
The LAWN TENT is a
large canvas made to fold up
as an umbrella. The base is a
round table capable of accomo-
dating from 6 to 8 people.
The tent is raised by turn
ing a crank under the table;
when desired to be out of the
way or released, a spring does
the work. The price of the
Lawn Tent is $50. 90 a great
reduction over former quota
tions.
Many times invalids would
enjoy the pleasure of these
lawn parties if they had some
conveyance suitable to their
condition.
We have an excellent Port
able Folding Invalids Chair
that can be propelled by little
or no exertion by those in at
tendance, and can be adjusted
in many different positions to
relieve the occupant. For the
"Unexpected Guest" it makes
a very comfortable bed.

JAPAN HAS IT'S SAY.

The news of the signing of the
annexation treaty on June 10Th has
stirred up the Japanese press to its
foundation. 1t seems to have been
a complete surprise, which does not
say much for the political acumen
of the chrysanthemum press, either
vernacular or English.
Speculation is rife among them
as to the reasons for President Nc
Kinley taking the step. If the
japanese politicians had studied the
Presidential campaign they would
see that the action of the President
is the logical outcome of plank in
the Republican platform.
The united press lays down as
an axiom that Japan had no terri
torial ambition in the direction of
Hawaii, and expresses fear that
President Mckinley has fallen into
the hands of Hawaiian agitators
who have misrepresented Japan.
The Japan Times devotes a long
article to the discussion of the stu
alton. The premiss of the argu-
ment in this paper is that Japan has
no territorial interest in the Haw-
allan Islands. But 1t has not writ
ten far before the cloven hoof APP
pears for speaking of the 81 gning
of the annexation treaty, it says:
Whatever may have been the
cause, it is to be deeply regretted
that the step has been taken with
out consulting the views of Japan,
which is, next to America, most
vitality interested in the status of
the Hawaiian Islands,"
This is arrogance with a VEN
geance. We have employed Japan
csc as laborers, but that does not
give Japan any vital" interest in
tie Islands. This is a country of
Anglo-Saxon civilization, not of
Asiatic. Its laws, its religion, its
tone of thought is Anglo-Saxon.
It's affinities are with the United
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-06-30

States and one fails to see what
vital" interest Japan has here.
This is an assertion of influence
which will not be agreeable to our
great neighbor or to any of the
worlds powers, and it is one which
the Hawaiian Government utterly
repudiates. That Japan has any
shadow of claim to be consulted
is preposterous and one feels sure
that the idea has never been enter
tanned by the rulers of Japan.
How thoroughly Japan has un-
derstood her chanaes is shown by
another paragraph. Drawing at
tention to the fact that Japan has
no desire to annex the group the
Times says:
Had we been DESTROYS Of OBJ
tanning political control over Haw-
ali, splendid opportunity was of
fered us at the time when the pres
ent revolutionary Government came
into existence. Our neutrality on
that occasion proves that we have
no ambition to extend our dominion
in that direction"
Now this is a distinct reference
to bit of secret history. The
Naniwa came here at the time of
the overthrow Of the monarchy,
and it was currently reported at the
time that but for fear of complica-
tons with other governments, she
would have taken a hand in the
the affair. 1t was by no means the
lack of desire to obtain political
control, but 1t was the lack of OPP
portunity which prevented Japan
from making bid for control.
But others of the papers come out
for the Japanese flag over the Is
lands hat-footed and do not seem to
have much fear of the United States.
The Herald is especially rambunc-
tious and is prepared to sink United
States troops in the same manner
the Chinese were got rid of in
the Kowching. Whether it was
quite wise to pour forth such walls
of abuse and contempt upon the
Stars and Stripes is a matter for
consideration. The writers are ev-
identity suffering from the disease
known as big head. 1t is a dan
gerous disease and is apt to lead
to disastrous if not fatal results.
The japanese of this stripe should
take some cooling medicine them
selves before it is administered to
them by some greater power.
But this vaporing apart, in which
one feels assured that the govern
ment does not participate, it is evil
dent that the prospect of the annex
alton of these Islands to the United
States is most distasteful, and the
action Of President Mckinley has
caused the mask to drop off and
the real motive to be shown.
anything could urge the United
States to action it was only this
outburst of the japanese press, and
we may be sure that such head
strong language will have its due
effect upon the American public
when it comes to read it. Backed
by such language the japanese pro-
test is not likely to have much eff
| feet.

In their efforts to dispose Of the spurious

TO the arrest and conviction of the woman,
who was found guilty of selling counterfeit
tickets, and sentenced to six months in the
work house, and to pay fine Of $500 and

The man succeeded in making his escape,
but as he is known to the railroad people
and the police. his arrest is only a question

Felt Hat or straws

CAt A4GbO VA SgA6Wb
Which is the better head covering on
an excessively hot day, the straw hat
or the wide-brimmed sombrerop The
majority have expressed, in practice. a
preference for the straw hat, but on
the plains Of the far western states,
where the mercury sometimes rises to
ia degrees In the shade and remains
there all the afternoon, the sombrero
is a decided favorite. Wearing these,
the cowboys move about under fero-
cious sun as usual. Instead Of trying
to keep the head cool by wearing a
thin, porous straw hat, and allowing
some imaginary cool breeze to sweep
in over the SCALP, the cowboy recogni-
Zes the facts of the situation and does
not prepare for cool breezes where none
exist. On the contrary, he protects
himself from the direct rays of the
sun, and keeps within his felt hat a
small modicum of moist air which is
cool by comparison with that outside.
The principle, Montana resident says,
sis exactly that recognized by the
Arabs of the desert and the Hindus of
India, who pile up fold after fold of
linen turban over their skulls and the
tropical sun. OF course, some. of these
cowboys may put wet handkerchief
inside their hats, but 1 believe they
would hardly dare mount a pony on a
very hot day if they had only the thin
straw hats generally considered SO very
necessary for warm weather. New
