RELIEF OF WHALERS.

Expected the Reindeer Expedition VIII

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Secretary
Gage has requested the secretary of the
interior to instruct the Alaskan officials

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Strong Appeal For Their Establishment
Made by the Postmaster General
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The first an.
.nual report Of Postmaster General Gary
has been made public. Its feature is
the strong advocacy Of postal saving de.
positories, scheme over which he has
worked for many months in the for
mutation of plans to present to the
president and congress. He says the
time is ripe for their establishment and
that the adoption Of we'll organized
system would confer great boon upon
q large number Ct people and ulti.
mateiy be of inestimable benefit to the
whole country. The portion of the re-
port relating to postal savings follows:
Many millions of dollars are undoubt.
edly secreted by people who have little
or no confidence in ordinary securities
and monetary institutions organized by
private citizens. 1t is dead capital, but
if its owners could be inspired with alb.
solute confidence in the security of an
investment it is altogether probable
that the bulk of this fund wou-A find
its way into the
Channels of Trade and Commerce.
If the government undertook this task,
the service would undoubtedly be
gladly accepted by the people. Their
faith in the government is unbounded.
Their little savings, which separately
could hardly be put out at intereVt,
would amount, in the aggregate, to O
sum that could be invested to their ad.
vantage. The proposition is an accom-.
plished fact i'll nearly every country in
Europe, in the British dependencies of
both hemispheres, and even in Hawaii.
In Great Britain 100000 depositors
have upward of $3.50, 900, 900 in savings
accumulated during 35 years and in 10
years no fewer than 10000 Haw allan
depositors saved nearly Sl.OOO,O0O. De.

EAGER TO OCOMEIN
HaWaiians Want as Little Delay
as Possible in Ratifying
Annexation.
Monarchy Is Dead Forever, but
There Are Still Other
Dangers.
Turning Point at Which, the
Islands Must Become ASiatic
or Anglo-Saxon.

New YORK, Nov. 16.-A dispatch to
The World from Honolulu, dated Oct.
%. says:
Sanford B. Dole, president of the
provisional republic of Hawaii, and
Chief Justice Judd are anxious to have
the Hawaiian annexation treaty ratified
as soon as possible. Said President
Dole to The World: "The people will
never again submit to monarchy. In
fact, there is no one sufficiently enjoy.
ing the confidence of the people Of these
islands to conduct the affairs of state
under monarchy"
.Why do they not desire to ,.oontinue
as an Independent republic?' he was
asked.
LAS the islands are SO far away from
other countries and as the Asiatic pop.
ulation is fast increa sing in numbers, it
is serious question, if they are left
alone, whether the republic could sur.
vive without the willing consent of the
foreigners. Besides, if the United
States has constantly to protect the
islands under the present government,
why should not the United States take
them altogether. This is great coun.
try for commerce. It is the natural
land for American ownership. To all
intents and purposes it is an American
colony, any way, as far as business,
capital and industry is concerned, and
it should be part of the body polite
Of the United States.
Must He Asiatic or Anglo Saxon.
Chief Justice Judd said in an inter-
view: During the reign Of King Ka-
lakau there was 80 cabinets, SO dissatis.
fed and unstable was the kingdom.
The only branch of the government that
was not disturbed was the judiciary.
The restoration Of the monarchy is an
impossibility. There is no material to
make monarchy out Of. Nor can we
hope to maintain republic independ.
emily. We must look to the United
States. We have now come to the
turning point and we must either be.
come Asiatic or Anglo.Saxon. Our
commerce is with the United States;
we are within the zone Of American in.
fiuence, and if the United States con-
tinues to exercise protection and as.
sumo responsibility for Us, they ought
to have something to say about how our
affairs are directed"
The news that has reached here from
San Francisco that Samuel Parker, a
prominent native leader and heretofore
q strong Royalist, has declared in favor
of annexation, has created quite sen.
sation among the natives who are still
opposed to annexation.

Delgado and his forces had a hard

wounds staunched, and they had a

IF you have a nice little farm or

yourself and your wife into the grave

o Mother-My-Loye, if you'll give me your hand
And go where ask you to wander,
will lead you away to beautiful land
The dreamland that's waiting out yonder
Wen walk in the sweet posie garden out there
Where moonlight and starlight arc streaming,
And tho flowers aud the birds are filling the air
With the fragrance and music of dreaming.
ThereI be no little, tired-out boy to undress,
No questions cares to perplex you;
Thereu be no little bruises bumps to caress,
Nor patching of stockings to vex you,
For III rock you away on tho silyer-dew stream,
And sing you asleep when you re weary,
And no one shall know of our beautiful dream
But you and your own little dcarie. -
And when I'm tired I'll nestle my head
In the bosom that's soothed mo so often,
And the wid,-awake stars shall sing in my stead
song which my dreaming shall soften.
So, Mother-My-Love, lot me take your dear hand
And away through tho starlight we'll wander,
Away through the mist to the beautiful land
The dreamland that's waiting out yonder!
