KINNEY ANSWERS THE QUEEN.
SAYS SHE DOES NOT SEEK THE
GOOD OF HER PEOPLE.
Points Out That They Must Either
Pass Under American or Asiatic
Domination.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The "Ev-
ening Star" publishes the following in
terview with William Kinney, one of
Hawaii's Commissioners, in answer to
Queen Liliuokalani's protest:
1T is charged in the Queens protest
that the annexation treaty is an act of
wrong toward the native and part ma
tive people of Hawaii Without at
tempting now to reply to her statement
as whole, if there is anything that the
annexation treaty is not, it is just this,
that is charged against it, for annex
alton is the sole hope of the native Ha-
waiiaEs | speak of the common peo-
pie. Their future is one Of two ends,
to pass under Asiatic or Anglo Saxon
control. The hope of these people as a
nation was dead twenty years ago, be-
fore this Queen ever assembled the
throne. If Asiatic dominion, the natives
must become coolies, for certainly they
cannot expect to be better off than the
rank and file of them. If America takes
Hawaii the native becomes an Ameri-
can citizen and the American wages
and the honorable position occupied by
labor in America will prevail in Hawaii
and every native will have the benefit
of it. 1t is choice between the status
of the American laborer and that of an
Asiatic coolie laborer The white race,
If Asiatics absorb Hawaii, can get out
to their own country. The common ma
tive has not such choice. He must stay
and meet his fate. Notwithstanding
the indisputable blessing that it will be
to the common native, the Queen, play
ing upon the inbred devotion Of the ma
tives to their chiefs, has, together with
the official class among Hawaiians, in
sisted upon the natives holding out
against their own good, and following
with her the will o. the wisp of mon
archy which will not cure or touch the
Asiatic question, but Will, on the other
hand. commit Hawaii TO the Asiatic
rather than to America.
There is no power within Hawaii to
withstand the Asiatic tide. native or
Hawaiian, or both combined. 1t needs
no strong arm of the United States. The
patriotic thing for the Queen to do is
to secure to her people the high and
coveted status of the average American
citizen. Instead of entertaining any
such ideas, however, she is evidently
bidding for the support of Japan to
scramble back to her throne at a fear
full cost TO the native people. The fealty
of the native Hawaiians to their chiefs
knows no limit, and often is exercised
beyond the pale of reason or
argument, and they will probably
follow her lead If they have their own
way to the undoing Of themselves and
everybody else in Hawaii. but it be-
comes a perfect caricature for her. to
protest against annexation in the name
of the native people and as wrong to
them"

KNOCKED OUT.
Kentucky Building and Loan Associ'
atoms HopeIessIy Crippled.

LOUISVILLE (Ky.), June 19.-By a
decision of the appellate court rendered
at Franklin to-day all the building and
loan associations in the State are
more or less crippled. The
court holds the law enacted by
the Legislature in 1893, which au-
thorized this association to charge not
exceeding u per cent. interest, includ-
ing dues and the legal rate, is uncon-
Stitutional.
1t holds that all interest and dues in
excess OF & per cent. are usurious and
cannot be charged. 1t is held that
even the dues are interest" and that
the borrowers who have been paying
from II to II per cent in dues and in
terest are entitled to recover or be cred
tied with all in excess of 6 per cent. The
decision will work a great hardship on
the people who have their all wrapped
up in building and loan associations.

HANNA WON.
The Cleveland Convention Endorsed
Him for United States Senator.

CLEELAND, June 19.-Though the
returns at the primaries showed that
Hanna men would control the Republi-
can county convention, the Foraker
forces, represented by Mayor Ackin-
son, boosted before the convention met
to-day that they would be in charge.
The fight was precipitated by the
nomination of F. L. Taft, "a McKisson
man, and Judge Francis j. Wing, a
Hanna man. for Permanent Chairman.
The ballot resulted in the overwhelming
victory of Wing and the convention
thereafter was clearly in control of
Hanna. A resolution was adopted en-
dOrsing Hanna for reelection to the
United States Senate. Then the con-
vention got down to elect twenty-six
delegates to the State convention

Great Resentment is Expressed
That Americans Did Not Buy Up
Treatment Accorded to Colonial
Soldiers.
Soldiers.

LONDON, June copyrighted,
1897, by the Associated Press. )-London
is in the midst of the jubilee fever. The
streets are impossible, resembling a
mixture of carpenter shops and county
fairs. They are crowded with excur-
sionists from all parts of England, who
are coming in on special trains at all
stations. Everything seems to have
been half done and incomplete. Many
of the decorations are already seedy
from the two days storm. Nothing,
however, seems to be lacking in enthu-
siasm, unless it is the case Of the syn
dicates of spectators in jubilee seats,
who at all places except St. Pauls Ca
thedral, are accepting any reasonable
offer
The combined losses of the four larg-
est spectators exceed 5000, 900 and on
every hand are inquiries as to Where
are the Americans?"
Considerable disgust and even re-
sentiment is expressed at the fact that
the Americans have not bought up all
the available seats at the spectators
prices. Much sarcasm is directed
against the stand holders. Whistler, in
Fridays Daily Chronicle" has a sketch
| in which Nelson, speaking from the
top of his monument in Trafalgar
Square, is supposed to say: Boarded
at last. England expects every man
to be ridiculous"
In addition, st. Martin is depicted as
putting up a sign on his church, read
ing: Protestant house of the Lord,
to let. Apply to the money changers
of the vestry."
strange tale is vouched for by one
of the London papers. 1t says that a
wealthy member of the aristocracy has
paid 1850 (S1, 800, for a room on st.
James street. He is suffering, it is
added, from a hideOus malfOrmation of
the countenance, will arrive late on
Monday night will spend that night in
the room referred to and will witness
the procession with his attendant, all
other people being excluded from the
room. For twenty-seven years, it is
further stated, only two people have
seen his face. The unfortunate man
drives every night about London, and
on entering and leaving his carriage he
covers his head with hood.
The discOrdant note of the festivities
is the shabby way in which the colonial
soldiers have been treated. Again and
again various attachments have ar
rived at noon but have met with no in
timation as to where they should go
and they found no food ready for them
when they finally reached their bar
racks. The scandal was at last taken
up by the press and especially by the
Pail Mall Gazette" the Globe" and
the Daily MALI and the Prince of
Wales, himself brought the red tape
officials to their senses. There was a
marked change when the Canadians ar
rived. Though it was midnight, a
large number of officers We're in waiting
on the platform and a band of music
played the Canadians to their barracks
where they found their quarters and
supper all ready for them.

IN A DILEMMA.
Authorities Do Not Know What tt
Do With Fanatic Kovaleff.

ODESSA Russia), June 19.-The au-
thorities here are in a dilemma re-
speeding Feodor Kovaleff, a member Of
the fanatical religious sect known as
the Raskolnik, who is charged with
burying alive fifteen persons, including
his wife and two children. The Min
lister of Justice, after prolonged con-
sideratiOn, declined to deal with the
case, and referred it to the SynOdal
Court. The Procurator of the Holy
Synod refused to adjudicate the case,
and it has been formally RENTED to
the District Court at Tirespol where
the crimes were committed.
1t is probable that Kovaleff will not
be tried anywhere, but will disappear
from the public gaze by the mysterious
procedure known as an 'administra-
tive order"
