United States Has No Available War
Ships on the Pacific Coast.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Representative
Lewis, of Washington, was at the Navy De-
partment to-day, consulting officials re-
garding the reports of the operations of
Spanish privateers along the Pacific coast,
who are said to be after the gold seekers
on their way home from the Yukon coun-
try. He saw Assistant Secretary Allen, and
was informed by him that the Philadelphia,
which ordinarily might be available for
scouting duty to intercept the privateers,
was destined for Honolulu, and also that
many of the best vessels on the coast had
been taken by the government for trans
port purposes. Mr.. Lewis feels that the
government will take such steps as are nee
essary for the protection of the interests
Of the people on the coast and those re-
turning from the north.
The reported appearance of Spanish
priVateer mas afforded an opportunity to
the engineer officers to justify themselves
for insisting on the maintenance of the
mines which now guard all our navigable
harbors. While il is realized that these
mines are a serious interference with trade
and public convenience. it is said to be still
absolutely necessary to maintain them un-
til there is no longer the faintest apprehen-
sion entertained of complications with Eu-
ropean powers that by any possibility
might end in hostilities. Therefore, the
mines are likely to remain in place until
the end of the war.

Resolved, That while recognizing the call
of God to exceptional men of limited educa-
ton to preach the gospel, our
ciety and churches should use in
creased care to maintain the intellec-

THURSTON EN- ROUTE HOME.
The Hawaiian Minister Well Pleased
with the Commission.

CHICAGO, July 8. Commissioner Lorin
r. Thurston, of Hawaii, passed through
Chicago to-day on his way to Honolulu,
where he will end his diplomatic career
with his report to his home government,
and, according to his own statement, retire
from public life, outside his own commune
ty. Speaking of the new situation created
by the adoption of the annexation resolu-
tons, he said: Il am we'll satisfied with
the resolutions and with the commission
which has been appointed, and so far as
know all my people are. 1t has been
long, hard fight of more than five years,
but we felt this result must come some
tlme. Since the beginning of the war we
nave been sure of success. The news will
reach Hawaii on Thursday, though 1 my
self will not arrive there until one week
from Wednesday. l have finished my work
and am much gratified over the result.
II do not know what the commission
Will co. but we hope for territorial form
OF government with delegate in Congress.
We realize that we are untitled for state
hood, and do not expect to see ii in my
time, although l hope it will come some
day The people of this country need never
feel any uneasineSS on that score. The ter
rltorlal government will answer all purposes
and be sufficient for our needs.
Our laws are modelled upon those of the
United States and the commission will find
but little to do locally. Our contract-labor
system, of course, must be overthrown, and
most of US are glad of it, but otherwise all
the commission will find to do will be to
make technical changes and provide for the
extension of the services of the general gov.
ernment to the islands.
I'VE hope to see Honolulu a great naval
station, especially if the Philippines are re-
tanned, and for our own sake we hope they
will be. We have five hundred troops Of our
own and they are amply able to handle any
local need that may arise. The country is
extremely prosperous now, and / believe
there is an excellent chance for men with
money TO embark in business there. The
Americans will have an immense advan-
faoe
