KaLAKAUA's CORONATION.

Today is the anniversary of the Cor
oHation of King Kalakaua. The writer
is now the only survivor of the Cabinet,
which was in office, at the time the
King proposed the scheme of Coro-
nation, and which it did not approve
The King finding majority of the
Cabinet opposed to it. went behind it,
and determined to secure the funds for
the Coronation, without the assent of
the Cabinet. His attitude caused,
among other things, it's sudden resig-
nation.
No doubt the Kings successful tour
around the world influenced him, in
his purpose to have this superfiuous
ceremony. He was told that the money
needed for such an exhibition, could
well be better spent in internal i'm
provements, and especially in making
the native people more secure against
the silent foreign invasion. But he dis
regarded this advice. He was neither
Ffe failed as most Kings have failed,
TO see his just relations to his
people and to the many races
collected in his Kingdom. AS a
Polynesian ruler, he should be judged
by Polynesian standard, with all Of
its racial inheritance. This might serve
as some excuse for his conduct. But
he had to submit, as all other rulers
have to submit, to the inevitable evolu-
ton of events. AS he did not compre-
bend their irresistible drift, he tried to
arrest it, and although he was on the
Throne, when he died, his political
'shour' had nearly come.
He did an irreperable injury to his
native subjects. The whites were
strongly in favor of native rule, and
had the most kindly, affectionate re-
gard for the natives, as many of them
still have, and will have, in spite of re-
cent events. But he thrust these intelli-
gent and able supporters aside, and
foolishly destroyed their loyalty to Ha-
waiian rule. There still remain with the
missionaries pleasant recollections
of the rule of those of the Kamehame-

The only way to cure dyspepsia is
to remove the cause. We do not set

Yes, Scrofula, If anything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge OF the world offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emolllents may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded =
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
My daughter was afflicted with i'm

all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking a few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula

The most serious news, in one sense,
is the announcement that the Govern
ments of the United States and Jap
an have come to an agreement regard
ing the status of the japanese in Ha-
wall 1t is, that, if annexation takes
place, all japanese here. and elsewhere
on American soil, may be naturalized
in the United States, under "the most
favored nation" clause, and become
voters, after the year 1899. This right
will by no means create at once large
Japanese vote in these Islands. Five
years are required for naturalization
under the Federal laws, with other
qualifications. Nor, is it clear that any
large portion of the Japanese popula-
ton will care to renounce their present
nationality. The prosperity of those re-
siding here will have much to do with
their action. Moreover, the American
laws regarding immigration will be-
come more severe, as time passes. The
full bearing of this agreement on our
social condition cannot be thought out
in moment.

COMMENTS On THE NEWS

The latest news regarding annexa-
ton is extremely encouraging. The
new factor in the matter created by
the movements of Germany in the East
is unquestionably having a most i'm
portant influence. But the situation
appears to have suddenly created new
and cordial relation between the United
States and Great Britain. The policy
of the latter country is that of opening
China to a free trade with the world.
This is just what the United States de-
sires, and is contrary to the policies of
France, Russia and Germany. Japan
cooperates in the free trade policy.
lily approve of the action of Great Brit
ain and China, in preventing the Chi
nese from being bottled up" But it
forces the Americans to get a foothold
somewhere, and here is the natural
and obvious foothold. There will be no
closing up of these incidents. The Am
erlcanS must move sooner or later. 1T
is only a question of time. Postpone
ment of annexation means delay only.
He who believes otherwise, does not
understand the deep and abiding force
of the movement.
We have repeatedly said that the an
nexation movement wouldnot be arrest
ed by trivial incidents. Senator White
OF California charges in his speech in
the Senate, that since Japanese immi-
grants were sent back from Hawaii,
about 1000 have been admitted under
contract into the Islands. He denounces
the attitude of our annexationists as
"hypocritical." Every man can settle
that question for himself. If true, it
will not for a moment change the gen
eral policy of the United States, and
for that reason, much that has been
said here against the Japanese could
well have been omitted.

A GAME OF GRAB.
Russians Appropriate Lands Owned
By the British.

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 22.-Advices
from the Orient by the Empress of In
dia are as follows:
There are rumors of British and Ja-
panese concessions on the island of
Mantai at Foochow. One of the men,
bers of the crew of H. NJ. S. Linnet
has been making surveys in the neigh
borhood for the Information of Sir
Claude Macdonald
News comes from New Chwang that
the Russians have been acquiring large
tracts of land in the vicinity to make
capital out of sthek proposed British
railway enterprise III that region, as it
seems that the land on the proposed
route of the Russian railway has been
purchased by the British, who de-
manded eXorbitant prices for the same.
Russians. by way of checkmating their
rivals, have commenced building in the
north of New Chwang without the
necessary formality of purchasing or
leasing the land from it's owners, prac-
tically grabbing lots they required ar
guing that as they had only built on
the land its owners could not help
themselves and could be amenable to
any terms offered by the Russians. By
these means they would hold the whip
hand over the railway in eastern China,
which is to run from Petuna to Port
Arthur, via Kirin, Loudkin and Mai
ching, with a branch from Port Arthur
to New ChWang.

Says the Newspapers Have Published
Exaggerated Stories.

out early today. About a. m the sec

panied by Brigadier General BOyntOn.
left for Chickamauga park, where they
spent the day in a critical inspection
of the hospitals over which there has
been so much controversy. Before IeaV-
ing Chattanooga, General Alger said
to a reporter: The press has been
disposed to eXaggerate the condition OF
some of the camps, and things nave
been charged against the war depart
ment which were untrue and unwar-
ranted. 1 want the facts. and al the
facts, to come out, and have nothing
to withhold from the public.
THE great trouble has been that the
people have not appreciated the i'm
mense problem of forming an army Of
250, 900 volunteers, without arms and
without necessary equipments. The
Spanish war came upon US almost like
a bolt from a clear sky, and 1T found
every branch of the war department
unprepared for the task of equipping
and handling such a vast number of
unframed men.
For a time there was difficulty in
furnishing supplies and equipment for
the troops, but that was TO be ex-
pected. The department had only a
limited supply of tents, and 1T had
practically no wagons or ambulanceS
to start with. There were a thousand
and more details to look after, and
fairly disposed public viii understand
the disadvantages with which the war
department worked for many weeks.
As fast as possible, supplies and equip
ments were sent to the several camps,
and if there has been lack of medicines
and necesSaries of life, the fault IS with
commanding officers of the camps.
There may have been some incOm-
petent officers-generalS and cOlOnelS-
in charge OF some of the camps, and if
such is found to be the case, they will
be held strictly to account for their
misdeeds.
If there are any commanding officers
who are now incompetent, or who fail
to put their camps in first-class con-
ditiOn and keep them that way, / pro-
pose that they shall be replaced by men
who are competent and who win see
that perfect sanitary conditions are
established and maintained"

figurehead, the dowager empress permit
ted him to remain in peace, but as soon
as he attempted to act on his own initia-
tive his practical deposition was the re-
suit. His principal adviser, KanS Yo-
moi. the Cantonese reformer, fed, in spite
of the vigorous attempts made to arrest
him. and it is said he is now on his way
10 Shanghai.
The effect of the change must be great.
In all probability Ii Hung Chang will
be reinstated in power and Russian infiu-
ence Will increase. The hopes of reform
SO ardently cherished by the intelligent
factions OF the Chinese are now imDossi-
bie of fulfilment.
The suddenness of the coup is said to
be due TO the desire of the dowager
empress to prevent the mission of the
Marquis Ito from being successful. The
japanese statesman recently came to Pc
kin with the object of trying to bring
about an alliance, offensive and defensive,
between Japan and China.
The new order of things will undOubt-
edly prejudice British interests in China.
II is reported today that the next edict
VIII give the full reason for the change.
The wording of the present edict is not
yet obtainable but it is TO the effect that
the emperor requested the dowager en-
press to assume power. this being the
third tlne the request has been made.
ne Marquis Ito, in an interview before
the edlct was issued said the emperor
received him yesterday in the most cor
DIAL manner and said he hoped to have
the advantage of the advice of the mar
qnlS IN the reforms which his majesty
intended to undertake The marquis. even
then, feared that the inaction and con-
servatsm of the Chinese officials would
nulllfy the reforms, although he believed
the emperor was acting in good faith.

Washington, Sept. 22.-Colonel Will
liam ]. Bryan, Third Nebraska volun-
teers, was at the war department today
and occasioned as much interest among
the employees as a returned Santiago
hero. Colonel Bryan was accOmpan-
led by Governor Holcomb and Repre-
sentative Stark of Nebraska They
went first to the adjutant generals
office, where Colonel Bryan registered,
stating that he expected to return to
his station today In General Corbin's
office he shook hands with the general
and introduced the gentlemen accom-
panying him. The call was formal and
brief. The party was then introduced
to Acting Secretary MeikeljOhn. but
remained only a few minutes return
ing TO the adjutant generals Office.
General COrbin inquired as TO the
condition of the camp at Jacksonville,
and asked if the soldiers wanted to
come home. Colonel Bryan said that
he had not made a poll, but his judg-
ment as to their sentiment was that
they did wish to be mustered out.
Colonel Bryan went from the adjutant
generals Office to army headquarters,
and called on General Miles.
Neither to the acting secretary of
war nor to the adjutant general did
Colonel Bryan or Governor HOlcOmb
make any request as to mastering out
the Third Nebraska regiment or al
lude to the desires of Colonel Bryan
in reference to the subject.
After leaving the war department
Colonel Bryan and his party went to
the White House. They We're cordially
received by President Mckinley and
remained in conference with him for
more than an hour. They did not pre-
fer a request for the mastering out
of the regiment as a whole. but only
for the discharge of such members as
are disabled by disease or have pecul-
lar calls upon them. They represented
that about 20 per cent of the members
of the regiment were i'll, and urged
that these should be relieved and sent
to their homes. where, they argued, in
all probability most Of them would
speedily recover. because Of the diff
ference in the climate of Nebraska and
of Florida.
The president talked sympathetically
with his callers concerning the cOndi-
ton of these men. but he made no pos
tive promises as to the course he
would pursue in the matter.
Mr.. Bryan said, as he left the White
House, that he would return to his
regiment tonight He was dressed in
the full uniform Of a colonel, and be-
yond the fact that his complexion tes-
titled to his exposure to the southern
sun, he looked very much as he did in
the campaign days of 1896.
Colonel Bryan said tonight he would
not leave for Jacksonville until to-
morrow evening. 1t is said he has con-
cluded the business with the war de-
partment which brought him to Wash
ingtOn. He will devote tomorrow to
with some of his political
friends.

CUSTOMS REVENUES.

In accordance with the requirements
of international law, no change has as
yet been made in the customs regula-
! tions; hence the tariff in force before
the war is still maintained, and the
Golfers of the treasury are being re-
plenished very materially. 1t was
naturally expected that under the new
regime the import duties would be con-
siderably reduced, and many mer-
chants laid their plans accordingly; but
in spite of eXorbitant duties. the de-
mand so far exceeds the supply that
the merchants are only too glad to
get their goods through as fast as they
arrive. Several Americans have al
ready announced their intention of en-
barking in business here, and an Amer
lean bi-lingual newspaper is among the
possibilities in the near future.
The recpening of the cable to Hong
kong and resumption of traffic along
the inter-island telegraph lines has
placed the merchants once more in di-
rect communication with their agents.
but up to the present little news has
been received, the small force employed
in the local office having been made
quate to handle the volume of out
going messages filed every day.
