respondent of the Mail says Germany
protested to the United States against
the annexation of Hawaii by the latter
country. Germany, the correspondent
says, desired Il triple control Of the isl4

self. Chagrined ut the result of her pro-
test, Germany sounded Japan, but the
latter declined TO be party to any con
certed action, believing the United Suites
would respect the rights of japanese
emigrants in Hawaii.

merely a temporary falling off, caused
by the bad weather.

exactly what keeps the market in tao
