London. April i0.-The debate in the
house of commons on Great Britain
food supply In the vent OF war has at
:racted considerable attention, but has
not caused a scare. A more Interesting
subject Is Lord Charles Beresford's pro-
posal 10 se-arm with heavy modern guns
seventeen obsolete warships which are
now in the reserve This could be done
with cost Of a little over loo, 900
pounds s5,0o0. 00e,) or the cost of two
ironclads. and II would make an ex-
ceedingly serviceable addition to the
fleet II this Is not done, II is claimed
that fese vessels ought 10 be sold and
news built. Lord Charles Beresford's
navy agitation is meeting with universal
approval.
The Economist represents the real
opinion Of the country in saying that the
motion OF Mr.. Seton-Karr, Conservative
member of parliament for ST. Helens. to
erect state granaries for keeping supplies
is only yelled protection, adding:

premacy we may eat Russian or Ameri-

MONROE DOCTRINE IN HAWAII
Will Work just as Well Headed West as In
the European Direction.

Will Work just as Well Headed West as In
the European Direction.
Washington Apri, 10.-The sdministra-
tor. has been much disquieted by the
news that reached here from Hawaii, es
pecially the facts that are SET out Ill tie
news dispatches. following as they do me
rather dry but very important statements
made in the last reports from United
States Consul General Ellis Mills a. Hon
olulu. The latter. after referring briefly
to the attempt Of the Hawaiian govern
ment to deport lot Of japanese coolies
who had arrived from Japan In violation
of the immigrant ton avs. gave in short
table a comparative exhibit of the num-
erical strength OF the various na.ionai-
ties represented ir the population of the
islands. From this it appears. and 70 the
fact the consul general called special at
tention, that the Japanese population was
second and that If the peaceful inva-
SION Continued at the same rate il had
been increasing during the past three
years, it would be only matter Of year
or two before the japanese were IN. dom
inant power in the islands. The news
dispatches supplemented this statement
by advices of the turning back CT more
japanese and threats Of resistance TO the
deportations. When the Philadelphia
sailed from San Diego a day or two ago
it was said that the purpose Of The navy
department was only to substitute more
creditable ship at Hawaii for the ole
Marion. Now, however, it appears that
the Marior: is likely to be retained on the
station, instead of giving place TO the
Philadelphia, and although 1t is not ad-
mitted that any particular significance
can be attached to the fact that the Unit
ed States will have two wagships at Hon
olulu, it may be fairly inferred THAI the
time is approaching wher it must give
some actual demonstration Of the weight
1t attaches to the declared policy Of this
government contained in the joint reso-
luton passed by congress and approved
by President Cleveland, that the United
States will not permit foreign interfer-
ence in the affairs Of the Hawaiian
ielaOds
