British and French in West Africa.

British and French in West Africa.
The trouble reported to have arisen be.
tween the English and French Govern
ments about the boundaries of their respec-
tive spheres of influence in West Africa ap-
pears to have grown out of something very
like an imitation of JAMEsoN's raid by Of
fcers Of the British Niger Company.
The treaties that have been made be-
tween England and France at different
times concerning the interior of the Hinter-
land of their settlements on the west coast
of Africa did no more han define in a gem
eral way their separate interests, as the
natural and clinical divisions were almost
entirely unknown. OF late years, however,
the agents Of the two Governments have
been actively overrunning the country with
the object of establishing their claims by
treaties with the native occupants or by
fixing military posts in advantageous posi-.
tions on the rivers and trade routes. In the
case of the French the agents are in the
direct employ Of the Government, while
on the part of the British they are the
servants of the Royal Niger Company,
organized and carrying on Its affairs after
the style and methods of the Chartered
South African Company. This Is the
asrse of u good lea of trouble for the
French Government, which can never be
sure whether at any given moment or on
any particular occasion the act of some
Niger Company official will be supported
or ~repudiated by he British Government.
hence endless delays, vexatious disputes,
and openings for dangerous conflicts, such
as that between the British and French
recommending expeditions behind Sierra
Leone two years ago in which the leaders
on both sides were killed.
The French are firmly established on the
Upper Niger. What they probably aim al
is to obtain some equivalent from the Brit
ish Government for their withdrawal north
ward from certain points in the Hinter
land of the Gold Coast settlements. Thal
equivalent would be the River Gambia
with the coast southwark to some point
above Sierra Leone, II not Sierra Leone
itself with its dependent settlements. The
English Government would not be likely

Our American Shipping.

The views presented by Mr.. CHARLES Fl.
CRAMP to the fall convention Of the Board
Of Trade and Transportation deserve the
careful attention of Congress. While the
year 1896, he says, witnessed the greatest
addition to the worlds steam tonnage ever
known in a twelvemonth, it was nearly all
English and German. During this present
year, too, Germany's gain will be the larg.
est she has ever known.
England and Germany foster their ship.
building interests by liberal subventions.
We ourselves began to follow in their steps,
about seven years ago, but it was only a
beginning. Our ocean.borne is
mostly carried on in foreign ships, and to
them we pay the cost of transportation. A
remedy suggested by some people is that
we should buy ships in other countries, and
30 alter our national policy as to allow their
registry here. But Mr.. CRAMP points out
that shipbuilding and s~hipowning go hand
In hand. The case of Norway, which gets her
steamships in England. he declares to be no
real exception to the rule, because her ships,
transferred to the Norwegian flag for the
purpose of avoiding certain English require
ments as to loading and manning, and

operated by English capital.
From the infancy of steam navigation
England has been substituting her ships
engaged in foreign trade. From 1888 to
1S4s, says Mr.. CRAMP, she lavished $29,.
100000 in subsidies on her steam mer.
chant marine. From the last.named year
onward that policy was pushed with
great vigor. In 1870, when it was deemed
important "to take advantage OF the war
between France and Germany, and also to
meet the threat of u new American line,
the subsidies rose to about SO. 127, 800. In
1895, the amount, including the naval
auxiliary subvention, was $4,455, 900.
The total from 1888 to 1895, inclusive,
paid by the British Government to British
steamships, is, in Mr.. CRAMPS figures,
$241, 92S, 900. Some resources have also
been derived from our own Government
mail contracts with British ships.
To compare with this we have, meantime,
our Governments mail and other subsidies
to American steamships, amounting to
grand total of $2S ,456,730." The contrast
with the British amount for the same
period is striking. Great Britain ever
pays subsidies to some steamships which
ply wholly between foreign ports. Such
facts and figures carry their own lesson.

A BIT OF HISTORY.

Hawaii is unf rtunate in the
matter of misrepresentation People
undertak Ike to write about the affairs
of the Islands without having any
adequate idea of the conditions
which obtain. and coloring their
articles with their own particular
views, and this is particularly true
of the Japanese press.
1t is common thing to represent
the revolution of 1898 as spas,
modic effort on the part Of few
irresponsible flibusters, when it was
nothing Of the kind. The revolu
ton of 1898 was the direct outcome
of events which occurred during
the eighties, and the roots of it may
be sought for back in the seventies.
The Reciprocity Treaty granted
in 1876 was mainly given to the
Islands for the purpose of Alreri,
canizing them and drawing them
nearer to the United States. That
it should have carried out this
design, only shews how we'll it
worked. But you cannot Ameri-
canize monarchy. The two ideas
are utterly incompatible. To
Americanize the Islands was to
make them Republican in feeling,
and this feeling began to grow dur
ing the eighties, and to gain
strength as it grew.
In the time of Kalakaua mon
archy and Republican ideas began
to clash in Hawaii. The easy
going, pleasure loving King easily
became the prey of variety of
adventures, or Of men who had
some particular aim to obtain, and
who were willing to pay smart
money into his hands to obtain their
ends. Ministry followed Ministry
in reckless profusion, and discomfort
beginning in 1880 eliminated in
1887 in practical revolution. The
people were in arms, but the King
gave way, appointed Ministry
that was in consOnance with the
popular will, and accepted a new
constitution which curbed the
mcnarchical power. The leaders

The color line, which the royalist
clique strives TO make a stalking
horse, wherewith to frighten away
the Hawaiians from annexation is
shown to be a veritable bugaboo
that breath can blow away, when
cold facts come TO the fore An
article published in another column
shows what responsible places are
filled by negroes, and that some of
these places are in the Southern
States, where the color line is still
supposed to exist. Under the
government of the United States
the Hawaiian need not fear the
color line, he will enter as free
citizen and will depend entirely
upon his own excrtions for his posi-
ton in the State. He will be
eligible not only for any Office in the
territory, but will also be eligible
for Office under the Federal Govern
ment. The color line scare is bosh.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-10-14

A correspondent writes The Star,
Is it not the duty Of the press to
inform the people that whoever
votes against annexation to the
United States or signs petition to
that effect, votes for annexation to
Japan ?" The Stars correspondent
puts the matter into a nutshell.
There is very little doubt but that
if annexation to the United States
does not come, the ultimate end
of Hawaii will be absorption by
Japan. This has been touched up
on in many of The Stars articles,
but it may as well be emphasized.
The Hawaiian has before him the
alternative OF the East or of the
West. His true friends have
striven and are striving to keep him
with the West, his blind guides and
most secret enemies try TO drive
him to the East. The one will care
for him, will make him free citizen
of free State and will elevate him
morally and socially. The other
will trample him out of existence
The Asiatic does not assimilate, he
simply rolls over country like a
flood, and the aboriginals of the
country cease to exist, they were,
and they are not. That will be the
fate of the Hawaiian should he lose
annexation to the United States.

monarchy could i'll brook, and during
Kalakaua's remaining years there
was ever an effort to get round it,
and an armed attempt against it in
1889 proved failure.
On Kalakaua's death came Liliu-
okalaui, who was known to have
strong objections to the constitution
of 1887, who was more than sus-
pected of completely in the armed
attempt of 1880, and who had
strongly autocratic ideas, at CON-
plete variance with the Republican
views of the country, which had
become so, through the American
izing influence Of the treaty of 1876.
When the Queen after a stormy
session decided to break the consti-
tuition of 1887 and, by coup d'etat,
proclaim new, in consonance with
her own ideas, it was no wonder
that the men of 1887 came together
once more, and said, we have had
enough of royalty, it will be but a
continual struggle with the mon
archs to keep our rights, this time
the change shall be radical and ire
vocable. The Republic was pro-
claimed and Hawaii cut herself
away from the monarchy forever.
At the same time it was distinctly
shown that this move was for no
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but that
the Republican Government should
be held in trust, as it were, till it could
reach its ultimate end in annexation
to the United States.
Of those who took part in the
movement were Judges of the
Supreme Court, lawyers and other
professional men, merchants and
traders who had spent the best years
of their life in the country, and to
whom its progress and prosperity
was vital, men who had devoted
themselves to the educational and
eleemosynary institutions of the
country and were devoted in every
way to its progress.
This is what the papers of Japan,
for whose benefit the above sketch
is written, do not know. They
read of a revolution, and they run
to the idea of a revolution in a
South American Republic, started
to put some man in power. The
revolution in Hawaii was for a
principle not for man. It's main
object, stated at the time, was to
bring the Islands under the govern
ment of the United States, and the
men who led the movement, and
guided the fortunes Of the infant
Republic will step down and enter
the ranks of ordinary citizens, gla
to have accomplished the great
object for which they were entrust-
ed with the cares of office.
The Islands profted by the Reel
procity Treaty, individually every
owner of the soil has been enriche
by it, the Reciprocity was granite /
to foster A mericanism. 1t has sue
ceeded in doing what it was intend
ed. The country should now stand,
and has stood to its bargain of 1876
Those who ale against annexation
are dishonest. They have prohted
bv the Reciprocity Treaty and have
grown rich beyond their widest
hopes, and now they do not want
to pay the price which is due. An
nexation was preshadowed in 1876.
The present situation is logical

Whatever may be said about the
publications Of Rev. Irl r. Hicks by
those who do not fully understand the
facts, there is no denying the truth that
his paper and Almanac have come to
stay. His splendid journal, WORLD AND
WORKS, is now entering it's tenth year,
largely Increased in circulation and in
every way improved, until it deserves
the national reputation it has attained.
His 1897 Almanac is now ready and is
by far the finest and most beautiful he
has yet issued, It contains 10S pages
including cover artistical]y printed in
colors, and is full from back to back with
just what is wanted in every shop, Office
and home in America. One feature of
the Almanac for 1897 is series of II
original, beautifully engraved star maps,
with explanatory chapters, which could
not be bought for less than five dollars
IN any work on astronomy. AS Mr..
Hicks has so correctly and faithfully
warned the public of coming droughts
Hoods, cold waves, billiards, tornadoes
and cyclones, in the years passed, aside
from the other varied and splendid
features of his paper and AInana these
considerations alone should prompt
every family to subscribe at once for

Maj. Baldwin Upheld.

After long consideration of Inspector
Wright's report on the Chippewa pine
estimates, Secretary Francis has deter.
mined to disprove conditionally all sales
OF Chippewa pine lands which are now
unconfrmed. The official order issued
directs Commissioner Lamoreaux to no.
tify all these parties to show cause WITH
in fifteen days why the sales to them
should not be set aside. It is understood
that Inspector Wright's report shows
gross inaccuracies in the first estimates
OF large number of tracts, the total
value of which is in the neighborhood of
100000.
The charges made by Major Baldwin
OF the 1nexperience and incapab1lity OF
the estimaters have apparently been full
ly proven by Inspector Wright's report
and as consequence they will not be re-
employed. When they were laid off last
October, Chief Estimator Douglass was
directed to turn the books and papers
over to the local officers at Crookston
where they are now.
Secretary Francis says that everybody
will be given full hearing but no sale
will be approved unless ample proof is
furnished that Inspector Wright's.1nfor-
mutton is wrong.
