understood that only a small fraction of their
number favor annexation.
From this, it may be reasonably inferred
that the predominant and paramount nflu-
ence of the United States" which you re-
mark has been the one essential feature of
the status quo through quarters of
century, in which the constitution and gov
eminent of Hawaii, and the commerce OF the
islands with the world have undergone notable
changes, furnishes on the one hand the
amplest guarantee against anything inim:cal
to either the United States or Hawaii while
on the other hand, it obviates the necessity
OF change in existing conditions which will
1nJuriously affect the interests of others.
The policy of colonial expansion among
european countries was especially active
the Pacific during the decade ending 1892 and,
as a result, nearly all of the Island groups
then autonomous passed under the sway of
various Western powers. By common accord
the powers have recently appeared willing
to stay their hands, and international rivalry
and conflicting interests are now the best
ence OF the few remaining island groups. But
the absorption by the United States OF such
an important part of the remaining unappro-
priated region of Hawaii, would doubtless be
the signal for the revival of dormant terri
torial ambition in the Pacific, and the last
yeStigate of native autonomy would disap-
pear. And it is not too much to apprehend
that a partial redistribution of colonial pos
sessions among the various Western powers
might also follow.
1t can easily be seen how this would affect
the interests Of Japanese subjects who
Gus undertakings and enterprises in the Pa
cific, with profit to themselves and advan-

of the prevalence of this spirit of colonial alb

cessors was led to declare to the German gov
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-07-27

ernment That your government attached great
Importance to 1.-The maintenance of the rights
to which the United States has become en-
tilted in the few remaining regions not under
independent and autonomous native govern
ments in the Pacific ocean"
The justice of that declaration cannot be
questioned. and the imperial government en-
tertaining similar views, could not behold with
Indifference changes in the status of those
governments that would ext;nguish Japanese
rights. They have no intention of question
ing the actual existing situation in the Pacific
and certainly to i'll anyw:se disturb It, but
their position in that part of the world rem
ders it impossible to view with unconcern and
in spirit Of acquiescence the consequences
which would probably follow the extinction
of Hawaiian sovereignty.
The imperial government recognizes 1t as
a well established principle of international
law that the completion Of annexation wou d
render their treaties and conventions at pres
ent existing between Japan and Hawaii void
able, either at the option of Japan or of the
United States, but they cannot anticipate
without apprehension the consequences
whether direct or indirect, which would fol-
low the practical contamination of the theory
that annexation, ipso facto, means the iume-
date termination of those treaties of those
conventions and consequent cessation for the
future of the privileges granted Hereunder.

Sir Replying to your note of date, the 2oth

on the necessity of maintaining the status quo
of Hawaii; the imperial government has no
hesitancy in admitting the predominating in
fuence of the United States in the Hawaiian
islands. In their opinion, however, the very
fact that such predominance has existed so
long unquestioned might be urged as a rea-

ulation of Hawaii acknowledges the para

treasury Department Rules on the
New Tariff BiH

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The secre-
tary Of the treasury holds that the
new tariff act is in effect at the begin
ming of the day on which it received
the approval of the president, and
therefore became operative after mid
night of Friday, July %. Assistant Sec
rotary Howell today sent the following
telegram to collectors of customs:
Department holds that new tariff law COW
ers and includes all customs business of July
Later in the day formal circular
of instructions, covering more fully the
departments views on the subject, was
printed and mailed to all customs col
lectors. The opinion of the attorney
general has not been requested on the
matter, the department holding that

to justify them in taking 1t to the
courts for final determination, indie
pendent of what the views of the law
officers of the government might be
as to the merits of the case.
Senator Allison was at the treasury
department. today, and. in the course
OF conversation on the subject, said
that, in his opinion, there was no rea-
Sonable doubt that the act covers al
OF the day on which it became a law
This also is the view of all the promi-
nent officials Of the treasury depart
ment, including the collectors of Gus
toms at New York and several of the
leading ports Of the country, Sufficient
data upon which to base a close esti-
mate of the amount of duties involved
has not been received, but it is stated
that it will probably be between $780,
COO and 100000 The internal revenue
department probably will save even a
greater amount by the new ruling than
the customs branch of the service.
During the five days from Tuesday,
July 20, to and including Saturday.
July "a, the internal revenue stamp
agencies sold approximately $5,181, 500
in beer stamps alone, and of this
amount 1t is estimated that not mora.
than one-third or 1,727, 1856 reached
their destination before the act went
into effect. The saving to the govern
ment on these sales of beer stamps
alone is expected to aggregate not less
than $183000. Commissioner Fornan
today telegraphed all stamp agents TO
settle only on the basis of the increased
rate OF 712 cents per barrel, and it is
expected that these instructions will
apply to all cases where the stamps
were not actually affixed to the pack
ages before the new rate became OBJ
eratiVe. No figures as to the amount
OF cigarette stamps disposed of have
yet been received, but it is believed
the sales have been abnormally large
as the rate of tax on cigarettes. speak
ing generally, was increased 100 per
cent, or from so cents per 1000 to 81
the inducements to tobacco manufac-
turers to lay in large supply were
even greater than in the case of tha

Chiefly, at Lake Minnetonka, was destroyed
BY fire early Sunday morning. 1t is sup
posed that the fire was due to the careless
ness of the engineer in banking his fire. The
boat was tied to the dock at Excelsior, be-
side several other boats, which only, by
mere accident escaped. The Saucy Kate was
next TO the burning boat, but two tramps who
happened to be sleeping in her, awakened
by the heat, cast off from the dock and
pushed the other steamers out into the lake.
The Acte worth about $1,000, and was
covered by $500 insurance. 1t was one of the
most popular boats on the lake.
