4 SENSATIONAL STORY GOTTEN
Up BY THE jill.
The japanese Newspaper Knows All
About What the United States is
Going to DO in the Near Future.

In recent issue the Ji il says: mo
progress hass.been made in the nego-
tiatlons about the emigration affair,
owing to the fact that Hawaii sticks
invariably to the policy of procrasti
nation in the hope of transferring the
responsibility of paying the compen-
sation to the United States by effect
ing the proposed annexation. At this
iuncture another difficulty has sprung
up. \ certain emigration company III
Honolulu has unlawfully appropriat-
ed the deposit money of the emigrants
and Minister Shimamura attempted to
bring the matter before IA tribunal.
The company, greately astonished at
the action of the Minister. threaten
ed to disclose all the weak points of
Japan in the negotiations at issue
should the Minister persist in carrying
out his plan to the bitter end Under
these circumstances the new trouble
is at present in state of suspense.
While matters stand in this way in
Hawaii the relations of Japan with
the United States have become more
friendly and the latter is inclined to
advise the Hawaiian government to
pay the indemnity at once to Japan
| if it really desires the annexation of
Hawaii to the United States. Before
long an instruction to that effect Will
be dispatched to the l. S. Minister in
Honolulu In fact, the Hawaiian gov
ernment may be induced to accept the
proposal of the United States and pay
! the indemnity as a pretty heavy eN-
pense will be incurred in leaving the
dispute to arbitration. Should this
turn out to be fact the Hawaiian af-
| fair will be settled earlier than is eX-
| pected.'
All of which will be news both here
and in the United States.

all that he has seen and heard. Tne
next number of the monthly will q, n

WHAT ANNEXATION MEANS FOR
HAWAII.
No One is Taking the Hawaiian Land
The Change VIII Give Broader Cit
ilenship.

Editor Star: Ex-senator Dubois is
credtably reported to have used in y
meeting of native Hawaiians at Hilo
language concerning annexation rs
follows:
"Robbing kind and gentle and hu-
name people of their land" and tax
ing away the land from these people
against their Will"
1t would seem sufficient in reply 10
say that in anneNing Hawaii as a ter
rtory to the United States. there is
no proposition whatever to take Ha-
waii away from the natives Hawaii
ans. These people will, after annexa-
ton, continue to possess all the rights
and privileges in relation to Hawaii
which they have now. or had at any
previous time. The country will not,
in any sense. be taken from them.
They will continue to be citizens OF
Hawaii. and possessors of it. to the
full as much as before the change.
The change by annexation will be
entirely in their external political re-
lations. \ new surzerainty over Ha-
waii will become vested in the United
States. At the same time. the pres
ent citizens of Hawaii, especially the
native population, will become en-
dowed with new and greater citizen
ship in addition to their present one.
namely. citizenship in the Unlted
States. Mr. Dubois doubtless consid-
ers the latter of some value.
1t will be useful to the people If
! both nationalities to clear their minds
on this subject and avoid misconcep-
tion. The intended change will only
! benefit Hawaii and the HawaiianS. RI
! the Islands continue independent. the
natives will inevitably be oppressed
and trodden down by stronger for
! eign races. The present just and con-
! Siderate set of men in power cannot
! be expected always to continue In
! place. Cnscrupulous men will sup
plant them, and the weaker native will
| Succumb.
As part of the United States, the
! rights of the natives will be perma-
nently and solidly guaranteed An
neNation is thus seen to be a wholly
I for the Hawaiian.
One often sees on the Hudson river
Il powerful tug with many dozens of
Erie canal barges in tow to New York
! City. Occasionally a stray barge la
boriously polling along. is hitched on
TO the great tow, much to its advanr-
age. 1t is proposed now to hitch poor
little Hawaii on to the grand fotilla
| of the United States.
How on earth are Hawaii and TIE
| Hawaiians to be wrongcd by being tn-
ken in tow? How injured. and rlt
benefited, by the salutarv change?

RETURN OF THE CLAUDINE.
Experienced Very Heavy Weather and
Had to Slow Down.

The Claudine arrived from San
Francisco soon after noon today, and
docked at the Oceanic wharf. where
she will discharge freight for Irwin
& Co. In addition TO the people she
took to the Coast, all of whom re-
turned, she brought Captain Gregory
of the Inter Island Company, who was
listed as surgeon" and Sam Monsar-
rat. The Claudine brings full car
go of general merchandise, some of
which is for Mahukona.
Captain Cameron reports very
rough passage. During the last three
days of very heavy weather the Clau-
dine was under slow bell, and for
more than two hours Law hove TO, and
fairly buried in the big seas that
washed her deck.

GREAT WAR PLAY.
Bronson Howard's Best Play This
Evening.

Bronson Howard's celebrated war
drama, Shenandoah, will be produced
at the Opera House this evening, com
mencing at s o'clock sharp. The sen
sational scene of Shenandoah is in the
third act, and concludes with the re-
treat of the Union forces and the ride
of Phil Sheridan. The ride down the
valley and Sheridan's dash across the
stage on his famous steed is most
effective bit of work. The worn uni-
forms of the soldiers, the calls of the
bugle, the lights of the signal corps,
and all the details form as realistic II
series Of pictures as stage art can
make them.
The lines are clever and the action
at all times spirited, with nothing 70
offend either the blue or the gray. The
author has not depended on war
scenes for all the strength of Shenan-
doah, which has considerable merit ~
an interesting and well told story.

WOULD NOT PART WITH 1T.

Captain George Ashley of the ri
nance department purchased soup
plate from the green set of royal dish
es at the sale nearly two years ago.
He selected a plate which gave every
evidence of its usage on the royal ta-
Bile, and paid for it $4.25. Last year
Mrs. Ashley took it to the Coast with
her. DR.. Barker, who has a choice
relic collection, saw it and offered
500 for the plate. It was good Of
fer. but Mrs. Ashley refused to part
with the plate.

Again the Townies are disappoint-

George a letter came to Captain Corn

Outlook for Adjustment Of Ameri.

The Behring Sea meeting, in which rep
resentatives of Great Britain, Canada and
the United States have participated, came
TO q close in Washington Wednesday,. the
seal experts making an unanimous report
concerning the condition of the seal herds
and the diplomatic representatives and
delegates reaching an agreement by which
they hope at a later day to make a final
adjustment of not only the Behring Sea
question, but Of other international con-
1roversies. The Canadians urged that
other questions be embraced in any plan
OF settlement, and suggested an interna-
fi0nal commission to accomplish this end.
This proposition was fully discussed and
m agreement reached that the Canadian
officials would put their views in writing
after returning to Ottawa and submit them
to the authorities here. All parties cOn-
cerned say that the outlook is favorable to
. satisfactory adjustment.
