No Flies On the Anchor

Manager William Carlyle with his
able assistant Charlie Andrews is
still to be found behind the oak at
this favorite saloon. The celebrated
Seattle Beer is always on tap, in
addition to choice and seductive
selection Of famous sliquors. Do not
fail to take pull at the "Anchor."

Stand shoulder to shoulder with
those Americans who have honestly
acted in their efforts for annexation
and who will assist in every effort to
"down" the family compact. Ha-
waians and the "liberals" COM
bined will yet be power, and then
the "thieves" will get their dues and
Hawaii be avenged.

The islands could easily have
been taken by conquest, by the Am
ericans who are slaughtering men,
destroying property and lombard
ing cities in the name OF humanity.
Hawaii, however, was stolen in a
manner, which will leave a stain on
American honor as long as history
is made in this world.

In 1893, foul and vile conspiracy
was perpetrated between a number
of unscrupulous descendants of the
missionaries and Mr.. Stevens, one
of the most contemplate adven-
turers who ever reached these ISL
ands, but who had been able to OBJ
tain the high position of a represen-
tative of the United States. The
legitimate government of Hawaii
was weak, and there were traitors
in the camp. The result was that
the Government cowardly surrender
ed to the handful of rebels, protect
by the sailors Of the U. S. S. Boston,

first act of the tragedy, which has

Gle on the Hawaiian question says:

annexation are not concerning them
selves with the constitutional prob

Congress should annex the Hawai-

ALOHA HAWAII !

The Hawaiians as nation have
ceased to exist. The men, women
and children of the gentle race,
which welcomed the foreigners who
landed ON their shores, have become
unwilling Americans.

The Queen was induced by fool
ish advisers to surrender the Coy

(God forgive us for using that word)
was established and the people of

The great people of the Great
Republic evidently love tyranny,
and without asking the opinion of

passed which relegates Hawaii to

Chlcago, April 12.-The indisposi-
ton to trade and the weak undertone
in wheat to-day was principally attri-
Duted TO the increase Of government
crop report yesterday. which made the

against S1.o per cent last wear at this
time. 70 area having been given it
renders the estimate, d probably yield
yield very difficult. The area is gen
orally believed to be larger than last
year but Gu last years area a condi-
ton OF 81 would suggest a yield Of
81, 100000 bushels. Other bearish fac

nCunced pressure to sell, but buying
orders were scarce and fer some time
the market remained around the open

stocks amounted to about 106 900 bush

now 4,779,000 bushels, which is a de-
crease OF 100000 bushels for the week.

and lower. receipts were larger than
anticipated and the weather was favor
able. There was considerable disposi-
tiCn to liquidate May holdings. The
market for oats was very slow. a
moderate short interest demand caus
ed little advance early but the mar
l1et followed the downward course Of
corn later. Provisions were very dull,
nothing but little scaping business
being done. Prices were steady.
