counts in the morning papers that the

''swore a terrible OATH" While we do
not believe in swearing, the perusal of
numerous blood-curdling tales in aud out

it would never do for thing like this 20

terrible oath,'' or utters "a dernOniac

The Queen Anxious.

New YORK, June Ga Worlds
cable from London says: The
Queens anxiety is growing more
and more intense as her diamond
jubilee approaches. 1t is said she is
fearful, not alone for her personal
safety, but lest some dreadful
calamity mar the occasion.
BY her orders Colonel Darlington
who has to direct the procession, is
making daily most careful survey
of the route, bit by bit, with view
to discovering whether there are
any points at which either the crowd
might be in special danger Of ac-
cident from a panic or from which
an attack might be delivered against
herself.
The Queen has made no secret to
her circle in court that il she had
anticipated the enthusiasm and rush
to London would have been so
much greater than in 1887 she would
never have entered upon the project
Of a public procession. Her sight
has grown very bad during the last
few months, so she has to wear dark
ened spectacles, aud, being unable
to see well, increases her nervous
ness.

Government to entertain the Japa.
nese demands in regard to the ad-
mission Of immigrants was expected
but ths declaration of Minister
Shimamura that repetition of the
exclusion of his countrymeu will
lead to his withdrawal from Hawaii
is interesting, as this means that an
active quarrel may follow. Japan
may not want the islands, as Marquis
Ito recently said, but she does have
pressing need Of place for her
surplus population, and Hawaii fur
nishes the best field for coolie labor.
So it will not be surprising if she
should attempt to bring pressure
upon the republic.-S. f. Chronicle.

We cannot altogether approve OF

who uphold the Jockey Club. 1t is
true that the judges ruling is strict
ly according to the rules Of the Am
erican associations; but it is also a
fact that the judges are at liberty to
use their discretion. We think that
it would have been wise on behalf
of tho judges if they had refrained
from giving an immediate decision
and had withheld their judg-
ment until the following day. The
hasty action OF the judges was prob
ably caused by the equally hasty ac-
tions OF the owners OF Antidote, a
fact which is no excuse for the
judges, however

Especial Dispatch to the Chronicle
WASHINGTON, May 30.-Private ad-
vices from Hawaii to members Of
the Congress are to the effect that
il steps are not taken soon TO show
that this Government wants closer
relations with the island republic,
the opportunity will pass and the
group land in the lap of some other
nation. Although the election OF .
successor to President Dole will not
take place until 1899, the opposition
to him is beginning to crystalline,
and unless there is development on
the lines OF the foreign policy laid
down by his administration his
party stands good chance of being
without the gates after the next
general polling.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION SAID
TO BIZ COMING

A statement That the President Has
Decided Upon His Course in the
Matter.
New YORK, June 6-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Press
telegraphs: In addition to the
vigorous Cuban policy which tho
President has in mind for securing
the peace and Independence OF the
insurgents, he is said to be con-
templating seriously the annexation
OF Hawaii.
In this purpose the President and
his Cabinet are agreed. The man
ner in which the annexation is to be
brought about has not fully been
determined, but it is regarded as
not at all improbable that Hawaii
will be part of the United States
within a year The formalities to
be observed by the Hawaiian Gov
ernment in seeking annexation and
by the Congress 10 accepting the
responsibility cannot be completed
much before that time.
