RELATIONS WITH HAWAII.

No Intention of Abrogating the
Reciprocity Treaty.
WASHINGTON, March 11.-Many
kilograms were received by Senator
! Perkins and other Californians here
today stating that there was a belief
in San Francisco that the Dingley
tariff law contains clause abrogating
the reciprocity treaty with Hawaii.
There was never any intention of do
ig this, for instead of straining the re-
lations between the Island Republic
and the United States, it is well known
by close friends OF the Administration
here that il is the desire to be very
friendly 10 the Hawaiian Government.
While the new Administration is not
believed to be favorable 10 annexation,
closer relations between the two
countries is believed TO be not far dis
tant An official of the State Depart
ment who has had consultation with
the new Secretary expressed such an
opinion today. That Dingley could
have contemplated any action inimical
to Hawaii is not believed, and he to-
night said nothing of the kind was
ever thought of. New Englanders have
always been active advocates of a Ha-
waiian protectorte at least.

What the Cali Says of His Missisn
TO Hawaii.
Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald de-
parts for the Hawaiian Islands next
Tuesday on the steamer Australia. He
will be accompanied by his Secretary,
E NJ Greene Both will remain there
six weeks.
The nature of Mr.. Fitzgeri, 'd's mis-
sion is we'll known, as the 14.vitation
extended him by the people of the ISL
ands to come there was given wide
publicity by the Call few weeks ago
He goes with the view of investigating
the feasibility of supplying the islands
with white labor to supplant the Japs
and Chinese now employed.
There has been an impression there
for years that American labor would
prosper, while on the contrary many
here believe that whites could not
withstand the climate while engaged
in hard labor.
His report will include the question
of annexation in it's various phases,
and will be semi-official in it's nature
The Commissioner welcomes this
chance for sea voyage at a time
while his health has been slightly i'm
paired by arduous mental labor.

OPIUM WAS STAMPED.

Thought to Aave Been Intended
For Hawaii.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 13.-About
ten pounds of opium, evidently destin-
ed for Hawaii, where the importation
of opium is illegal. was seized by Gus
toms Inspector Leddy Thursday night
As it was stamped, however, and
therefore not Illegally owned in this
country, it was released by the Sur
veyor of the Port yesterday.
Inspector Leddy met Peter Franz on
Third street, near Harrison, with the
parcel of opium in his hand, and talk
ing him for a seafaring man and sus-
pecting the parcel he carried, arrested
him. Franz is the watchman on board
the w. H. Dimond, and said he had
bought the opium at $14 a pound for
some of the sailors on the Dimond. 1t
is supposed the sailors intended 10
smuggle it into Honolulu, where it is
worth from $50 to $50 a pound
Franz is an old sailor, and once
served a short term in the Alameda
County Jail for defrauding the Gus

I WASHINGTON, March 16.-No plan
has yet been arranged between Presi-
dent Mckinley and Secretary Sherman
and their friends in Congress for bring
ing about Hawaiian annexation. The
| Commissioners from Hawaii, w. o.
Smith and Lorrin 4. Thurston, are in
| Washington with a treaty of annex
alton, but those most interested in the
subject, especially members of the SEN
ate Committee on Foreign Relations,
| believe it would be impossible to Sc
cure the necessary two-thirds vote for
ratification of such a treaty, and they
are therefore in favor of adopting a
more direct means TO accomplish the
same result.
John w. Foster, who visited Hawaii
few months ago in the interest of the
cable company seeking charter from
the Dole Government, is deeply inter
ested in the annexation question and
has discussed it with several Senator's
The matter has been informally
Mckinley also, but he has as yet not
found time to consider the question
as to the best method to be adopted to
bring about annexation
1t has been represented to the Presi-
dent by those who have recently come
from Hawaii that the condition of the
Islands is very unsatisfactory at pres
ent, politically as well as otherwise,
and that the japanese, who form such
a large portion OF the population, are
TO get control. Although
it is not thought likely they will sue

Congress are satisfied that the most
easible method to accomplish the de-

prospects of such a reso-

in the United States. is able TO earn as
nuch as 25 per cent. dividends, and has
made fortunes for the holders. This is
what has caused opposition TO the
treaty for the last eight years.
The fight against abrogation will be
made by annexationists and close re
lationists, who now figure that the
present Administration will be obliged
to grant at least a pTotectorate. They
will summon all the arguments which
were so successfully used at the time
the treaty was cOnsummated. They
will set forth that American capital
should be encouraged in the islands,
and that all. or nearly all. of the lum-
ber. textile materials, hardware and a
large amount Of machinery used is
now supplied by California dealers.
This trade would certainly be shut out
in case the treaty was abrOgated.

Facts About Invasion.
WASHINGTON. March ID A.
Thurston. ex-Minister of Hawaii to
this country, of Honolulu, who is here
in the interests of anneXatiin, gave out
an interview today regarding the news
from San Francisco that the Hawaiian
Government had refused to allow 500
japanese laborers to land in Honolulu.
He says that four or five immigration
companies have been formed in Japan,
headed by leading officials, including
the present Japanese Minister at
Washington, and they have the past
year been bringing in large numbers
of free Japanese immigrants to Ha-
waii. There are five lines of steamers
between Honolulu and Japan, making
monthly trips, and every steamer
brings from $50 to $50 Japanese.
The money produced by the immi
grants is provided by some third party
which the immigration companies
charge against their competitors, but
deny as to their own concern.

PUBLISHERS REBEL.

Now that the season of fairs and
other entertainments in aid of churches
has arrived, the energetic ladies in
charge are appealing to local news
papers for free notices. In discussing
this matter the Register, of Pine Plains
New York, says there is no good rea-
son why a newspaper should be ex-
pected to contribute anywhere from
fifty cents to three or four dollars in
advertising every time a church socie-
ty gets up a scheme to raise money.
The Register estimates that deadhead
notices to the amount of one hundred
dollars are asked of it every year.
The Register goes further, and says
that church entertainments are often
poor, and that a good round price is
charged for everything on sale at the
fairs.
The number of newspapers willing
to give up space to church enterprises
is growing steadily less, and publishers
want to know why, if the church car
get its advertising free, it should not
also have the gratuitous services OF
blacksmiths and carpenters. In many
towns the sharpest kind Of a line is
