That is most important declaration OF
the Hawaiian legislature to which Mr..
Godfrey l.. Cabot called attention yester-
da Y, in a letter to the Journal.
In VssW OF the desperateseffort which tS
being made to convince several United
states Ssenators that the so-called Ia
wa1iah delegation now In washington
Hawaiian people. this statement Ii of the
utmost significance The present treaty
of annexation. as Is well known. has re-
ceived the formal sanction Of the Ha-
Waiian Senate. In which. as In the con-
stitutional convention that embodied in
the Hawaiian constitution an annexation
article, the native Hawaiian element has
Its own spokesman. But on the 9th of
May, 1896. as Mr.. Cabot points out. this
resolution was adopted by both the Hal
waiian Senate and the House OF Repre-
sentatives: --eo-
Whereas, it has heretofore been the
announced policy, both Of the provisional
government and of the republic OF Ha-
wall. to advocate the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands: and
Whereas, the legislature of the repub-
lie of Hawaii is now in regular session as
sembled. and will adjourn for a consider
able period. and
Whereas, it is fitting that the repre-
sentatives OF the people should place
themselves on record as to the present
state of feeling among themselves and
their constituents on this subject:
BE it resolved, by the Senate and
House of Representatives. that the legis-
lature of the republic of Hawaii continues
to be. as heretofore. firmly and steadfast-
~ In favor of the annexation of the Ha-
watian Islands to the United States of
AnfNrica. and in advocating such a policy
they feel assured that they are express
ing not only their own sentiments. but
those of the voters of this republic"
lnasmuch as the Hawaiian House con-
tains majority of native Hawalians in
it's membership, this declaration must be
accepted as indicating the sentiment of
the orderly. intelligent and we'll disposed
aboriginal element of the population. Ger
tainly. as matched against the statements
of the three or four Kanaka monarchists
in Washington, whose leader is Scotch
man. and whose expenses are said to be
paid by a Portuguese resident of Homo
lulu. this resolution can reasonably be eX
pected to stand as final and conclusive
with American senators and congress
men,

seeing It, After hunting for few
hours under such a strain he lost con.
troll OF his muscles and became an
automaton. and shot at the first object
that came in sight. II a deer CHANGED
to come along at that time the deer
fell. and the hunter was applauded for
his good craftsmanship. and II ne
killed man under the impression that
he was shooting at deer. he received
q lot of sympathy for his misfortune,
and was asked how he happened TO
make such fine shot. More than half
of the homicides have said that they
felt they were shooting at man the
moment they pulled the trigger, though
they had been sure it was deer an
instant before. The realization OF the
facts came to them when 1t was too
late. All this is very pretty in theory
but exceedingly disastrous in fact and
it is with the facts of this matter the
law should deal.
A NorthpOrt master and pupil went
over to Flat island the other day to
construct shelter from which to
shoot sea fowl when opportunity might
offer itself. When they had completed
their work and were ready to return
they found the wind had risen and the
sea was too rough to venture forth.
That night they spent as best they
could imagining they were in the
Klondike region and the climate really
helped out the imagination. Their ra-
tons also run short. another Klondike
episode. The following day toward
night a rescuing party released them
from their unpleasant situation. from
which they probably got as much COM
fort and wealth as most of those who
have gone to Alaska looking for the
gold that doesn't pan out" durin.,
these long winter months.
