SOMB PAUNCEFoRTE LETTERS
The London Mail Says Efforts Were
Made to Get Them.

London, Feb. 24.-The Daily Mail this
morning alleges that attempts have been
made by newspapers in London and New
York, to obtain some letters that the
British Ambassador to the United
States, Sir Julian PauncefOte, is sup
posed to have written, containing strong
expressions regarding the American
Senate's rejection of the arbitration
treaty.
The idea according to the Daily Mail
was to compel Sir Julian to follow Senol
Dupuy De LONE. The paper adds:
THE campaign failed, but it is evident
that Sir Julian PauncefOte will have to
tread warily."

taail another inspector to proceed to
Lake City, s. c., and assist Mr.. Moye,
who arrived there last night, to conduct
the investigation into the murder of

Post Office Department saying that his
life had ben threatened and asking that
the government extend some protection
to HIM This letter came to hand yes
terday afternoon. Senator McIIaurin,
of South Carolina, was among Post
Master General Gary's callers to-day and
expressed horror at the crime in which
Baker lost his life. He asked that The
department use every means at its COM
mand to discover the perpetrators of the
outrage and assured General Gary that
he would do everything i'll his power to
assist him.
A dispatch was received from Inspec-
for Moye at Lake City this afternoon
saying that he was pursuing the inves-
tigation directed by the department.
There was no clue to the perpetrators
and no part of the post office property
had been recovered. The coroner's Jury
which is investigating the crime had
adjourned until II O'Clock Saturday.

Oaths and Bonds.

Admiral Miller and STAFF and Minister
Sewau called on the Cabinet at the
Executive building at 1O:3O yesterday
morning. The Guard and Hawaiian
band were out to receive the guests.
After a short formal reception in the
Presidents room, the Admiral's staff
| retired, and from that time to about
1890 p. m. Admiral Miller, Minister
| Sewau, President Dole and the Cabinet
Ministers were in consultation on the
subject of the flag raising ceremonies.
After the Admiral and Minister had
departed the Cabinet announced that
the flag raising would take place at -
o'clock noon on Friday 1t will be Off
ciaI and formal in character The Ha-
waiian flag will be hauled down by
detail Of men of the n c. H. COM
pany on guard Friday, and the Stars
and Stripes hoisted by detail or squad
from the Philadelphia. There will be
only band music at the time. The proc
lamation will be read and principal
appointments gazetted
A stand will be erected in front of
the Executive building for the officials
and the parties connected with the
transfer and ceremonies. Admission
to the verandahs of the building and
seats on the stand will be by card.
American and Hawaiian troops will
occupy a position directly in front of
the building. The Citizens Guard will
be stationed on the left and the Sharp
shooters, Mounted Reserve and police
on the right. Some of the details of
the ceremony are yet to be completed.
Whatever ceremonies or proceedings
in the manner of celebration that are
to be directed by officers of the AnneXa-
tiOn club will be distinct from the Of
fetal marking of the change of SOW
ereignty. 1t has been suggested that
the meeting, with speeches, be held in
the Opera House early in the after
noon.
As the Hawaiian Flag comes down
it Will be saluted with twenty-One guns
and the American flag raising Will be
given the same honor.
There is still, in some circles, com
ment on the fact that there was appar-
entity delay in fixing on the time for
the Flag Raising. This is easily and
simply explained, if there is any mis-
understanding. All those persons now
in office are TO continue in their posi-
ton, but they must properly qualify to
serve the new sovereignty. To this
end the oath of fealty to the United
States must be subscribed to at once
and the new bond, running to the Gov
ernment at Washington must be made
out in advance. These bonds are now
being prepared. 1t was stated last
evening that it might yet be necessary
to send a special boat to some of the |
other Islands to have the oaths and |
bonds in time.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Secretary
Day said today that the war viii end
before the United States is compelled
to move against Havana.
The fall of Santiago, the capitula-
tion of $4,000 men and as many Mausar
rifles; also the requirement of many
field guns and four formidable fordfica-
tions, has had a saIutatery effect upon
the naughty Spaniard.
Secretary Day as much as said that
Spain would not be permitted to ne
gotiate terms in settlement with the
United States. Before the Washing
ton Administration will consider a
ermination of hostilities Spain must
have arrived at a conclusion Of what
she is willing to sacrifice.
An armistice will not be granted an
til the Spanish mind is made up.
Nothing would suit the Spanish half
so we'll as an opportunity to indulge
in diplomatic interchange, but the ex-
perience of the United States in the
past will preclude the possibility of
parleying.

l expect YOU have heard of it, that If
there was no settlement immigration
10 this country from Japan. so far as
II could be controlled by, our Govern
mant, was at an end. But so far as
know, no such question entered into
the negotiations. The affair is now
happily settled through the kind and
fair Offices Of the United States and
Hawaii and Japan are good friends
as ever. We regret that there was a
difference. 1t is past and viii soon be
forgotten. There viii be a consul gen
aral here soon to succeed Mr.. Shima-
mura. The legation or diplomatic bus
mess viii, of course, be transacted at
Washington.
Now Mr.. Iirai, you speak of higher
wages for the labOrers. Is it not true
thar the field hand here will net four
or five times more in year than he
possibly could at home? That is said
by some who make the figures to be
very moderate. 1t has been put this
way: 4 labOrer can net six dollars a
month. That would be twelve yen. 1t
IS asserted he could not net that much
in half a year, or even in a year in
Japan.
The secretary and charge thought
out his answer and said:
For the first thing, the Japanese
who leave their land naturally expect
to better themselves vastly. 1t is true
that they get very low wage indeed
in the fields at home. Perhaps not more
than twenty sen a day, and then not
work all the year. There are many in
Japan, but the number is becoming
less. Thousands have gone into the
army and navy and many more thou
IL. lot,
Iy established. In Japan the rush is
to the cities, the same as in any other
country. The Japanese work much
harder here than they do in the fields
at home and for that reason expect
much more pay.
What is considered by many who
study the question to be the soundest
claim for increase of wages for field
hands is that when they are free labor
ers they cannot be retained steadily on
the plantations at the old figures. With
more pay there will be few, if any,
desertiOns.
Labor viii continue to come here
after annexation"
= think so. Yes, l am almost pos
tive that it will be so. Under just
what conditions the engagements will
be made, no one can say now. That is
ore of the matters the legation has said
to the laborers is now being cOnsid-
cred. There is considerable talk, /
understand, of a closer relation between
the companies procuring the labOrers
and the plantations. 1t might be that
the companies could in some way make
guarantees to the plantations. The
companies, being chartered by the Gov
ernmRnt at home and having special
and almost exclusive facilities for
handling labor, will be more import
ant than ever to the employers. All
this, l must say, is only what I have
heard. The legation knows nothing of
it officially
Mr. Hirai was much interested in
what was being said around town about
the Japanese and was very much
pleased to give the assurance that
there would be no strike, with all its
serious possibilities.

THE TURN OF FORTUNES WHEEL

Nothing better illustrates the turn of fortunes wheel than the experi-
 ence of the democratic leader of 1896,
 Two years ago the most talked about
 person in the United States was Will
 liam Jennings Bryan. He had made
 his famous speech at the Chicago con-
 vention, had been nominated for pres
 ident and was sweeping over the coun-
 try in his private car like an all-com-
 polling whirlwind. It was admitted that he might be elected to the high est office in the gift of the people. and the crowds he drew and the enthusi
 asm he created in some quarters gave color to this apprehension, even in the east. He was hailed as a man of des- tiny. He had burst upon us like a thun- derbolt out of a clear sky, and almost anything in the way of political fame seemed possible to him. But he has ab- solutely fiattened out The two years succeeding the election have been spent by the ex-candidate in a some what ludicrous attempt to keep him. self before the public He has not dared go home and wait until the next campaign begins. He has essayed a lecture tour and failed He has sought to pose as the leader and guide of democratic thought, and been ruth lessly pushed aside. He has endeav- ored to rehabilitate his waning for tunes by going into the military ser vice of the country Cor it might be fairer to say that he has been induced to take this step by his solicitous frlends). and he is stranded at Tampa With no prospect of ever seeing actual "ar1are. Poor Colonel Bryan. The gods, who fought on his side two years ago, have deserted him.
 Then there is MT. Arthur Sewall of Bath. He had been an obscure though a prosperous ship builder of Maine up. to the opening of the presidential cam paign. He was we'll known in certain commercial circles, but the politicians were not acquainted with him. The Chicago convention brought him into
