Queen LIS AbdicntfOn.

We are waiting for further news from
port that Liliuokalani has declared her
reputation of the abdication which she
So formally executed here two years ago.
We look also to hear of some further ac-
ton Indicating her motive in that repudia-
ton. The eX-Queen made AMI executed
that document of her own free and volun :
tary action. She was absolutely unsolicited
by any person connected with The govern
rnent, and acted apparently by the advice
of her counsel, Paul Neumann, and CT
other friends. Her motive seemed to be
to obtain favorable treatment from the
government for herself and her associates
i'll the insurrection for which they were
was at the time attached by the govern
ment to her abdication. except as it served
to show disposition on her part 20 aban-
don her resistance to the government. of
the republic. Taken in connection with her
subsequent very quiet and retiring de-
meancr, her abdication doubtless contrib
uted to her early release on parole and to
her subsequent pardon last September OF
tfat pardon she seems to have taken
speedy advantage to go to Washing Ion and
renew her political activity.
Our papers are all refraining from any
comment upon her action. The little roy
aiist sheet expresses increduity. Appar-
emily no serious Importance is believed to
attach to her repudia ton. Her reported
pretext for it is remarka BILE that her sig
nature to the act was irregular in form
and therefore invalid. There is an un-
seemllness about such a pretext which
would seem unlikely to gain favorable re-
gard for her in Washington.

permanently at Honolulu. Japan now as
serts an equal claim to influence. Indeed
she will undoubtedly send here a large
cruiser of thrice the force of your little old
fashioned Adams or Alert. Why should
Japan not assert herself thus? She has
eight times as many of her people here
as there are Americans. If America cares
anything about holding on to Hawaii ii is
time to bestir herself.
Few persons familiar with the subject
can doubt that in the natural course of
things Hawaii gravitates toward the United
States, or that the occupation and possess
sion of Hawaii by America is likely in the
natural course of things to take place at
no distant date. If it does not sooner oc-
cur its necessity will become very obvious
whenever an Isthmian canal shall be open
ed, and the immense trans-Pacific steam
traffic from the Atlantic thereby set free
begins to stream across this ocean, When
that takes place, Hawaii, as the central
calling port will assume fresh importance
and will confer an immense advantage on
whatever power possesses this group. To
speak of no other rival power Japan will
by that time have a controlling majority
OF our population unless America speedily
interferes. With two-tnirds of our people
japanese. and backed by their strong and
enterprising government, the occupation OF
Hawaii by the United States would be at
tended by difficulties which do not exist
now. To let things drift unchecked in that
direction Is evidently dangerous.

A DIVERS DANCER.
Thrilling Escapes from Death While Re-

One diver crippled for life, another
made a raving lunatic and still an

that is the record up to date Of the ef

in twenty-eight fathoms, low water.
The Meixiddo reef is on the coast OF
Spain, nine miles south OF Cape Fin
isterre. The accident occurred In 1891
and II was not until four years later,
May 1895, that any attempt was made
60 recover the valuable cargo which
the sunken steamship contained, the
most tempting part OF which consist
ed OF twenty eight bars OF silver, val
ued at $4,000. This treasure was
stored away in spare berth in the
cabin, while in the hold was 700 tons
OF pig lead valued at $4,000 II was
an Englishman living at Bilboa, who
made the first attempt on the treasure.
After four or five months labor and
terrible underwater work by the divers,
all that the Englisbman had TO show
for his time and money was grimy
piece OF the Skyro's brass cabin sky
light grating. One of the divers went
raying mad from his sufferlngs under
water and when confined jumped
through a window In his delirium. A
fellow-worker was incapacitated for
life as a result OF his exposure The
gentleman then let things rest at this
until July Of last year. During the two
months following the beginning OF
these second operations a diver descend
ed forty-four times and recovered nifty
nine bars OF silver. the average time
OF each descent being thirteen minutes.
After the first thirty-seven bars had
been got 90 the surface II was found
necessary 10 use dynamite. The dyna-
mite 50 cleared things that In three

float attached TO the buoy rope He

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1t is stated
by those in a position TO know that
the reason the Hawaiian treaty is not
pushed in the Senate is because the
friends of the measure have grave
doubts as to their ability to secure
the necessary two-thirds vote TO pass
IL The impression prevails that it
may be necessary to pass a joint reso-
luton and annex the islands by legis-
lation. IL has been found that a num-
ber of senators who were confidently
counted for the treaty are against il,
while others have expressed doubts
about the hasty action
Many of the Southern senators op-
pose it because it is distinetively
, Republican measure, advocated by
: Presidents Harrison and Mckinley and
opp 81 by President Cleveland.
These senators fear that the Repub-
\ leans will ultimately secure political
advantage by the annexation of the
Idnds. and say that a territorial form
81 government will be maintained
1nly until such time as the Repub-
leans can y azure absolute control,
when they will at once create another
state. OF the Republicans in the
I. senate by far the greater proportion
/ accept Hawaiian annexation as an
established Republican doctrine.
There are, however, quite a number,
.s, eeially from New England, who
a opposed TO annexation Of any
ui.re territory by the United States
IL is understood that the New England
senator's, including Hoar of Massa-
,husets, Hale of Maine, Morrill, OF
Vermont and Wetmore OF Rhode
Island, who were opposed TO action in
the Cuban ease, are now put down in
\ opposition 10 the treaty.
Representative Tawney, of Mime
a, who visited Hawaii in com pauy
uncle Joe Cannon, says it is the
\ ,men among the natives who are
posing annexation. The reason IS,
says: They have an eye 10
ture social prestige. The native
men are now recognized as the

their presents, which the father and
mother have hidden III the most mystic
rious manner and in out of the way

ever, Dec. b is celebrated by sending
and receiving parcels in the evening of
that day. Parcels" must be taken here
in very broad sense. The servant who
has to answer the bell is obliged to
bring in whatever is put into he~ hands
or before her and consequently is often
heard to giggle behind the door of the
room in which the whole family is as.
sembled. Then in walks-nay, is put

or an old lady or a queer animal, con-
sisting chiefly of wood or of linen filed
with sawdust, in which the present,
sometimes one Of very small dimen-

rhymes often accompany the parcels,
and generally much good natured teas

The patience of some people is often
sorely tried by q parcel consisting of n
big ball of very fine cotton, which has
to be unwound TO get at the present.
