NATIVES WILL PETITION.
Against Annexation and for Res
tOration OF the Queen.

Against Annexation and for Res
toration OF the Queen.
The sun do move-and now, when
annexation is almost assured, some
alleged friends of the Hawaiians have
decided that the only way to defeat
the aims OF the Government in the
matter of annexation is to induce the
natives to petition against it. One Of
these Advisers is credited with say
ing that petitions would be sent TO all
the other islands next week and that
there is no doubt that $1,000 names
can be secured. AS the native popula-
tics of the Islands, of legal age, is only
about ID. 1000, the inference to be drawn
is that the other $4,000 will be found
among the school children.
While the petition is against annex
alton, it is also in favor of the restora-
ton of Liliuokalani, and it is expected
that when Duke Palmer presents this
bow down in a body before him and
Immediately proceed to vote the other
way. The people at Washington, that
is, those who are in the least interest
ed, are as fully posted on the popula-
ton of the Islands as anyone here, so
that if $4,000 Hawaiian names are
signed the members will Immediately
figure out how so many Hawaiians and
half-castes of legal age could spring up
in so short a time. When it is found
that infants in arms have been brought
into requisition, the value of such a
petition will be nil.
AS d counter-irritant, it is suggest
ed that the anneXationists in Honolulu
call a meeting of Hawaiians, and
that addresses be made by persons
thoroughly conversant with the facts,
and who can explain to the Hawaiians
the advantages annexation will bring
to their doors. Hawaiians who have
not the right of franchise, now lost
through wrong advice given them as
to the oath and registration. Many of
these people believe that annexation
means perpetual disfranchisement,
and in order that their minds may be
disabused of this, the educational
measure should be started.
Very few people among the annex
ationists believe that the petition will
affect the cause one way or the other,
and the large majority in favor of
closer union to the United States en-
dorse the mass-meeting scheme, in
order that Hawaiians may know the
true condition of affairs.

BOOKS THAT ARE POPULAR.

The London Daily News says: Ac-
cording to statistics furnished to the
Ministry of Public Instruction at Paris,
Dumas pere is still the most read nov
elist in France. M. lola comes next,
and then, at some distance, M. Dau-
Diet. Last year M. Jules Verne dropped
behind NJ. Daudet. He is followed by
Erckmann Chatrian, George Sand,
Chateaubriand, the Goncourts and
Maupassant. Lafontaine still keeps at
the head of French classics. Transla-
tions of Robinson Crusoe'' remain
very popular. Victor Hugo is the most
popular of modern poets and the most
popular of his works are still Les
Chatiments," ''L'Annee Terrible" and
lies Miserables." Lamartine and De
Musset may be bracketed. M. Coppee's
poems continue to enjoy popular favor.
1t appears, says our correspondent,
that booksellers in Paris are hardly
able to meet with the demand for Vic
tor Hugo's "Orientales." This is be-
cause they contain fine poems on the
struggle that went on in the '20s be-
tween the Turks and Greeks.

WHERE KLONDIKE is.
Its Name, Story and Some of the

Its Name, Story and Some of the
Big Finds of Gold.
An interesting letter telling of the
recent trip of the steamer Excelsior to
Alaska has been written by Capt. j.
F. Higgins, of the steamer, to friend
in San Diego, Cal He says:
The word Klondike means Deer
River, and is called Reindeer River on
the charts. 1t empties into the Yukon
so miles above the Big River. The geo.
graphical position of the junction is
1873 degrees so minutes west longitude
Bonanza Creek dumps into Klondike
about two miles above the Yukon. FL
Dorado is a tributary of the Bonanza.
There are numerous other creeks and
tributaries, the main river being 800
miles long. The gold, so far, has been
taken from Bonanza and Ell Dorado,
both we'll named, for the richness of
the placers is truly marvellous. Ell Do
RADIO, 80 miles long, is staked the whole
length, and as far as worked has paid.
"One of our passengers, who is TAX
ing $1,0O0,O00 with him, has worked
100 feet of his ground. He refused
$500, 900 for the remainder, and conf
IDENTIFY expects to clean up 100000
and more He has in bottle $212 from
one pan of dirt. His pay dirt, while be-
ing washed, averaged $3.50 an hour to
each man shoveling in. Two others of
our miners who worked their own
claims cleaned up $4,000 from the days
washing There is about Is feet of
direct above bed rock, the pay streak
averaging from 4 to feet, which is
tunneled out while the ground is
frozen. Of course, the ground taken
out is thawed by building fires. When
the thaw comes in and water rushes
in they set their sluices and wash the
dirt Two of our fellows thought a
small bird in the hand was worth a
large one in the bush, and sold their
claim for $4,000, getting $4,000 down,
the remainder to be paid in monthly
of $4,000 each. The pur-
chasers had no more than $4,000 paid
They were 20 days thawing and get
ting out dirt. Then there was no wa
ter to s1uice with. But one fellow
made a rocker, and in 10 days took out
the $4,000 for the first installment.
So, tunneling and rockering. they took
out $40 900 before there was water to
sluice with.
"Of course, these things read like the
story of Aladdin. But fiction is not at
all in it with facts at Klondike The
ground located and prospected can be
worked out in a few years. But there
is still an immense territory untouch-
ed, and the laboring man who can get
there with one years provisions will
have a better chance to make a stake
than in any other part of the world"

INCOME TAX CASES.
Supreme Court Listens TO Ar
8umSntS Against the Law

Supreme Court Listens to Ar
guments Against the Law.
The protest against the Income Tax
was before the Supreme Court yester-
day in an all-day session. Both indi-
viduals and corporations are interested
IN the cases, as the constitutionality of
the whole Income Tax Law is in
volved. Both cases, of James Campbell
and the Honolulu Iron Works, are be-
ing tried as one. The arguments yes
terday were by Gen. A. S. Hartwell and
S. NJ. Ballou. They were on the de-
murrer filed by Tax Assessor Shaw, in
answer to the petitions for injunction
to prevent him from assessing and COL
lecting the tax as provided by law.
In the petitions, it was claimed that
the law was unconstitutional, and va
rlOus reasons were attached to each
section to support this contention.
The demurrer declared that the law
was constitutional. To substantiate
this claim frequent quotations were
made from United States laws. 1t was
argued that the Hawaiian law discrim-
mates between the men who receive an
income of $4,000 or less and those who
receive more This was said to be an
injustice. The claim of a double tax
alton under the law and the remain
ing points brought out in the petition
were also argued in full. A. G.. NJ. Rob-
ertson is supporting the Government
side of the case.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.-In the Probate Court

lasting less than three hours. that Mrs. Jane l..

Arguments were made by Edward n. Taylor.

sented Leland Stanford Lathrop. another leEatee
TO whom Mrs. Stanford wished to give landed
property.
The contention made was that the ~testator
intended that the legatees should DO paid in
cash. unless they requested to be paid in some
thing else. 1t was shown that there were

HOTEL WALDORF ROBBED.
AN EMPLOYEE STEALS PAINTINGS,
RUGS, AND FURNITURE

Property worth ps, ooO stolen from the
waldorf ana other Hotels In This ana
other Cities Recovereu-Hs Couresses on
Being Arrested - p<nits In His Coll.
Enough stolen furniture to ill q big house
was found bysdetectivcs' yesterday in the pos.
session Of John II. Stats, assistant superin.
tendent Of tho Hotel Waldorf. Stats, on be.
ing arrested, confessed at Headquarters that
he had stolen the furniture from the Waldorf,
tho Hotel Normandie,. the Sturtevant House, the
United States Hotel OF Boston, and from q
number OF other prominent hotels. II il be.
licved that the value OF the booty recovered is
in the noighborhood of $4,000.
George c. Boldt of the Waldorf complained
TO Chief McClusky Of tho Detective Bureau
three weeks ago that n number OF valuable
articles, including a 81 1000 rug, which had
been imported for tho Marie Antoinetto room,
had been missed from tho hotel. McClusky
sent DetectivesSergeants Price and o'Donohuc
to the hotel to watch the servants. While
watching tho employees the detectives man.
aged so well to keep their presence u secret
that Stats was not put on his guard.
Ho was seen going into the storcroom Of tho
hotel several times with bundles and returning
empty.handed. 1t was learned that Staats
had obtained permission to keep ~sixteeen boxes
and trunks In the storeroom. and It was finally
decided to search than. The detectives found
such q miscellaneous collection that hours were
required for the sorting Of the goods. There
was no further doubt that the thief had been
run down when the trunks were opened.
Snverware, rugs, linen, towels, and other
articles In profusion wero uncovered. Whilo
q great part Of the stuff had been taken from
tho Waldorf, the marks Of other hotels were
distinguished. Possession was taken of tho
stolen goods and then the detectives went to
the rooms occupied by Staats at SO East Thir-
tteth street.
There they found not only a considerable
quantity Of stolen. property. but also two TO.
volvers, q bottle of Knockout drops. n slungshot,
a hacksaw, a brace and bit, and a case opener,
which the detectives declared is often used by
thieves ~, . Jimmy. Price and O'Donohuo
said that they were sure hat the tools made
up q burglars outfit.
Oil paintings Of value were also found in
Staats's rooms. In n bureau a warehouse GER
~tifcate for a set Of leather dining chairs that
had boon removed from the Waldorf was
found. 1t was surmised that Stats in his ca
pacity OF assistant superintendent ordered tho
chairs out OF the hotel ON tho plea that they
needed repairs, and afterward took possession
Of them. Twelve moro rugs belonging to tho
Waldorf which had not been removed from
their wrappings were under q bed. The 81 200
rug was also recovered.
Stats confessed to McClusky that no had
purloincd the articles. He was arraigned In
Jefferson Market Court and remanded until
to-day. He spends his time while locked up Mt
