THURSTON'S VIEW.

w WASHINGTON, January 7.-"When
the Hawaiian treaty comes up for
consideration next week." said An
neNation Commissioner Thurston.
"our friends will lay great stress upon
the situation in China and the East
as reason for ratifying the treaty.
We had expected a strenuous opposi-
tion from the Southern Democrats,
and particularly those who represent
sugar producing states, 1t transpircs
however that some of the very men we
had figured among our strongest oppo-
nents from this section have expert
enced change of opionion. and i'm all
probability will he recorded in favor
of ratifying the treaty now before the
Senate.
Things look more promising now
than they did before the holiday sea-
son, and we are encouraged to believe
that the necessary two-thirds maiori-
ty will he recorded when the final vote
is reached"
Hawaiian anneNationists now claim
siNty-one votes for the treaty, divided
as follows: Republicans. 43: Popu-
lists, ); Silveritcs, ;; Democrats, 5.

ADMIRAL b[LkNAP TALKS
HE ADVOCATES STRONGLY THE
ANNEXATION CAUSE.
The Annexation Movement is Inspir-
ing Stirring Speeches From All the
Statemen Who Look to the Future.

Rear Admiral Belltnap in a speech
before the Boot and Shoe club of Bos-
ton. said:
81 have been an anneXationist ever
since | first saw the Islands in 1874.
Unless all signs fails the Pacific will
become within generation a field of
enterprise and activity which will ri
val if not surpass anything the Allan
tic has ever seen.
Honolulu from its happy situation
will become the great port of call of
the ships of many nations. At no dis
tant day cable will connect Honolulu
with San Francisco. The nation that
holds such a point of vantage will be
great gamer financially, and its COM
mercial Importance to our people, if
they have the good sense to take what
is offered them. will be incalculabIe.
The interests of the United States
in the Islands are indeed paramount
TO those of any other country. all ma
tions recognize this fact and are will
ling to buy to it. if we do not short
sightedly reject their nod What the
Islanders are today is due to the reci-
procity between them and our coun-
try.
"The question is where sovereignty
of the group is to go when native con-
troll is impossible.
THE idea of the naturalization of
the Islands is. in my Judgment. not
only absurd but mischievous. It
would be a continual breeder of in
ternational trouble.
The Island republic has been estab-
! lished. We have recognized its valid
ity by receiving its minister at Wash
ington and by sending our minister 20
/ Honolulu. The republic of Hawaii of
fers itself to our sovereignty and there
is no reason why we should reject It."
The admiral further pointed out how
easily the Cramps could lessen the
! time between the United States and
| Hawaii to four and one-half DAYS. and
he ridiculed the, idea of warships coal
4 ing at sea as an argument minimiz-
/ ing the stragetic value of the Island
! ports. .TEv<S' o., sgfHastt ,gl.
He termed the Hawaiian anti-annex-
alton petition to Congress the last
card in the hands of the obstruction
lists, and pointed out that the Massa-
chusetts Reform club, which opposes
anne Nation, also condemned Mr. Cleve-
lands robust and rigorous Venezuelan
message.
He said in closing: "Under the
terms of international law, all States
are said to stand on an equality of
/ right, but ever and always might is
/ the real factor. While the European
powers are cutting up China, let MS
see TO it that their land hunger does
not extend to Hawaii"

FOUR INMATES OF DREAD OAHU
RELEASED.
Reformed Law Breakers Given a New
Lease on Life-T. b. Walker Prom
ises to Do Better.

The anniversary of Hawaii's indie
pendence was tittingly observed at
Oahu prison this morning by the re-
lease and restoration to civil rights Of
four inmates of that dreaded institu-
ton. Il. B. Walker, w. b. Anderson,
David Ella and Naone were the men
who were given new lease of life.
Through their conduct during their
Imprisonment they have shown a prop
er spirit of repentance and they have
been adjudged by those in authority
as worthy again to mingle with the So
ciety of their fellow men. from which
they were banished for various crimes.
The formal reading of the pardous
took place at $50 o'clock this morn
ing, in the presence of all the prison.
ers assembled the prison court yard
beneath the shade of the famous ban
yam tree. Attorney General Smith per-
formed the ceremony addressing the
prisoners in both English and native.
Prison Directors Lowrey and Magoon
were there with Warden Low and
Marshal Brown.
Attorney General Smith. in address
ing the prisoners said that in eXer-
ell of State had been guided to Il large
extent by the recommendation of the
marshal, warden. prison directors and
iaiors. In almost every instance par
dons had been based on the individual
conduct of the prisoners. The men
pardoned had shown cheerful obedi-
ence to the prison rules and accepted
their punishment in the proper spirit
1t was not a pleasant duty to send
men to prison, but it was a pleasure
to set them free. They were sent 10
prison, not for punishment, but 10
protect society, and as soon as they
proved themselves worthy to be trust
ed, executive clemency could be eyer-
csed.

man who gave expression to his feel
ings was T. b. Walker. With unsiea

HOW A BLOCKADE WAS RUN.

OF how an English vessel ran the block
ade of Galveston, Tex, during he civil
war. says the Chicago Inter Ocean. He
witnessed the feat, and could not I'M
derstand how the vessel got past the
American ships, bombarded as it was
with shot and shell. Afterward Gene
raj Wallace met Confederate who was
familiar with the incident. do you
mean to say asked the general Of the
Confederate. that the blockade run
ner passed in without losing MANI"
"Oh, no." said the Confederate five
men were killed at the Wheel" There
is something else would like to know"
said General Wallace, land Ahat is the

man was Yankee from the state Of

The fate Of those islands lthe Philip
pines) now nes in the hands of the Uni
ted States. Admiral Dewey's dispatch
as not only describe an overwhelming
naval victory, but proclaim the death
knell Of Spanish sovereignty in Eastern
Asia. Within a few days transports
freishted with a strong military force
will leave San Francisco for Manila.
and there can be little question that as
soon as they arrive, or very shortly
after. the stars and Stripes will float
over the seat of government of the
Philippines. This will be the begin
ming. however, OF a diplomatic problem.
tt. solution of which is not easy to
United States keep the Philippines?
Can they restore them to Spain: Is
it likely that the powers interested in
the far East will permit their transfer
Ia a third party? These are all diff
cult questions which for the moment
seem to admit only OF negative an
SWerS.
Washington's famous warning
against becoming involved in the af-
fairs of the European powers is still
strong in America. although the cur
rents against it are daily becoming
more powerful 1t is by the struggle
of these domestic influences that the
Question OF American retention OF the
Philippines will he decided. If the
a,.s'vcr is in the negative. what will
i,e done with the islands? To return
them to Spain would be TO give away
the whole humanitarian case for the
relief OF Cuba. and hence for the war
itself. The Philippines in Spanish
hands have suffered quite as much as
Cuba. and it will be impossible for the
United Sttaes to hand them back to a
regime the evils of which are the sole
Justification of the present war.
The alternative is to cede them to a
mower friendly to the United States
But here the jealousies of the powers
have to be reckoned with and new
and angry phase of the far Eastern
question would thus be opened. On the
other hand, the Philippines as an
American colony will not be altogether
palatable to any Of the powers. and It
remains to be seen how the economic
aspects of such transaction will COM
mend themselves to the craftsmanship
of this country

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS,
'uch as Throwing Rice. Relics OF
Primitive Times

Until the middle of the sixteenth cen.
'ury Christian marriage consisted of
two distinct cercmonies-the betrothal
or espousals. which were followed at a
considerable interval, sometimes ex-
tending to two years. by the benedic
ion or complete marriage. Many mod
.rn marriage customs are relics of
primitive times. For instance, the
'hrowing of old shoes after the newly
married pair ~ remnant of marriage
~ capture. when the brides relations
brow stones and other missiles after
he bridegroom as he rode off with his
'ap;ured bride. The honeymoon Is a
"clic of the enforced seclusion in which
y captured bride and her capturer
lived after the bridegroom had secured
his wife; and the traditional hatred
# mothers-in-law Is merely q survival
of the old feud between the bridegroom
lnd the brides family. Groomsmen
are another remnant Of marriage by
capture. They were originally the
brides bodyguard when she was pur-
sued by her bridegroom and his friends
Then later they used to be attached to
the brides procession, and had nothing
to do with the bridegroom. Because
their office was reduced to a sinecure.
they were armed with lances. and car
ried lighted torches-for these captures
were generally attempted at night.
