THE CANVASS Of NATIVES
RESULT OF BENJAMIN CLUFFS
INQUIRY.



SAN FRANCISCO, March 23.7-Ben-
iamin Cluif, Jr., president of the
Brigham .oung Academy, at Provo,
Utah, has returned from several
weeks visit to the Hawaiian Islands,
where he was sent at the solicitation
of Senator Frank j. Cannon. to deter
mine the status of the annexation sem
timent among the Hawaiian people.
He arrived here yesterday on the
steamship China. and brings with
him the results of thorough canvass
among the natives of the Islands of
Oahu, Maui and Hawaii, all of which
he intends to Immediately forward to
Senator Cannon at Washington. Mr..
Cuff considers that his investigation
of the question was about as thor
ough and conscientious as it is pos
siblc for an investigation of the kind
to be. and the circumstances under
which he visited the Islands. coupled
with the advantages which he possess
ed of being able to talk the language
of the Kanakas. enabled him to ac-
cumulate much information which
other Investigators have failed to ST.
cure.
CAS- q result of my Investigations I
would say that probably one-half of
the intelligent natives of the Islands
are pronounced advocates of anneNa-
ton" he said, when seen at the Oc-
cidental yesterday afternoon. "Of
the remainder I would say that the
great majority are, primarily, in favor
of the restoration of the monarchy;
secondly, they much prefer anneXa-
ton to the United States to contin-
uation of the present government.
81 reached these conclusions by
talking with the natives themselves.
The rovalist papers warned the ma
tives against me when I first bega-
my Investigations. but I happen TO
understand the language of the ma
tives. having lived in the Islands in
my youth, and managed to gain their
condolences without much difficulty.
At several places I called meetings Of
the natives and listened to their ar
At other places I went quietly among
the natives and interviewed them in
person.
MANY who opposed annexation said
that they wanted the monarchy re-
stored. They stated that should the
United States refuse to restore the
Queen, the petition already forward
ed to Congress. which contains some
such request, would be withdrawn and
sent to England. The natives did not
rise in a body and declare that they
wanted to be annexed to England, but
they would petition England, some of
the members said, to restore the de-
posed Queen to the throne should the
United States fail to do 50. Their
plans go still further. Should Eng
land fail to restore the Queen, they
will invoke the aid of Russia. then
of France, Germany, and all the 9TH
err powers of the earth in order.
These are the plans of the Royal
lists as made known to me. They
have never been made public before,
and have been kept in the dark by
the Royalists which have been in the
councils of the party.
