De it
PROTEST AGAINST ANNEXATION.
Resolved. That as the representa-
tives OF large body OF native Hawaii
ans We solemnly protest against an

consent OF the people of the Hawaiian

Gould stronger case be mads out |?
Could the infamy of the deal be more
strongly and convincingly expressed ?
We believe not. In speaking on this
same subject before the National Con-
ference on the foreign policy OF the
United States, Mr.. MooREFIRLD STOREY
of Boston, Mass, is quoted as saying:
1--WE have annexed Hawaii. A friend
ly state has been deprived of it's indie
penience. The governed were not
asked whether they approved the Con-
stitutiOn or the rulers under which
they lost their liberty, nor was the
questi IN whether they desired annexa-
ton ever submitted to them. Our
flag in Hawaii floats over subject
people. But this disregard of our
principles will return to plague us
sorely"
And again:
I'VE have said that the native popu-
latIon OF Hawaii was not entitled to
vote upon the vital question which we
decided against their will, that by rea-
son OF their color, or race, or Ignorance
they may be governed without their
consent. 1t will be far more difficult
hereafter to insist that the colored
voters ofthe south are entitled to rights
denied to the colored voters Of Hawaii.
so that equality of rights, which is the
first Of rights. is jeopardizsd within
our own border, and problems which
we thought the civil war had settled
are reopened to fresh and dangerous
controversy"
He spoke truly and concluded as fol-
lows:
NO part OF the territory taken from
Spain should be kept by us, but our
whole duty will be done il we give to
the inhabitants in each case the oppor
tunity TO frame such governments as
they wish. Protect them until they
can stand alone, and allow them as
allied but independent states to learn
the principles of self-government for
themselves. until at some future day,
when conditions have made it safe, we
may consider so5erly the possibilities
of closer union. So shall their inevita-
BILE errors affect only themselves, and
not endanger the great edifice of free
dom which our fathers erected, and
whieh it is our duty TO transmit unim-
paired to our children"
But what is the use of argum emit in a
ct.se like this? The office-seeker and
the capitalist are impervious to reason.
The jingle and the possession of the
dollar alone move them.

Formal Proclamation Thercof-Iden
teal With Former ProCnamations.

LONDON. April 26.-An extra edition Of
the London Gazette. issued this morning,
contained the customary royal proclama-
tion Of neutrality, defining the atti-
tude Of British officials and British sub
iects during the war between Spain and
the United States.
IL IS identical with the proclamation
issued al the time OF the China-Japanese
war.
The instructions TO the admiralty and
Colonial authorities regulating the bel
Hgerents' use Of British ports is dated
April 2lst and gives the belligerents
tWeuty-four hours TO leave.
This accounts for the departure OF the
United States squadron from Hongkong
and the orders given 10 the Spanish tor
pedo-boat Audaz TO leave Queenstown.
Some OF the newspapers here assert
that the rule in regard TO coal being con-
traband of war is new. but IL Is identical
with Lord Granville's proclamation Of
1870 at the time Of the outbreak of the
FraucO-Prussian war, and Identical with
the proclamation issued at the time Of
the commencement Of hOstilities between
China and Japan, prohibiting supplies
