NOTA NANTASY. BUT al FACT.

NOT'A FANTASY, BUT A FACT.
This assertion about the canal is not a
fantasy, but fact. not creature of my
imagination, but conclusion of careful
observation and study Of economic and
TRANSFORMATION conditions. have dis
cussed this point repeatedly with the lead
ing shipping men of Europe and Asia and
they are almost unanimous in agreeing
that the canal and its mighty revolution OF
the worlds commerce and trade would en-
able the South to supply the slendid pres
ent and prospective cotton market of
Trans Pacific lands.
A NEW CANAL COTTON FLEET.
AS a nail which would drive home to
clinch this contention, I would cite that
influential directors of the most powerful
steamship companies in the world have
more than once told me that IL the Mica
ragua canal is constructed their respective
companies will put on fleets of ten TO lf-
teen steamers at once on round they world
runs via the Suez and Nicaragua canals
with the special consideration that they
can carry cotton from America TO Asia via
the Nicaragua route.
AN APPEAL FOR ACTION.
In conclusion, then, with deep and
abiding interest in our glorious Southland,
although | am Yankee born and now a
resident of the Pacific coast, developed by
travel in her hospitabe section and by
study during part of 1883 at one of her
great institutions Vanderbilt univer-
sity, Nashville) while absent from my own
Northern college on a Journey of observa-
tion in the South. with a belief that as
United States minister it is my duty to
point out opportunities to the South as
we'll as TO the West and North and East,
with knowledge Of the situation when
has come from thorough investigation eX-
tending over six years and carried on IN
every land from Siberia and Japan TO
Siam and Java. and with mistaken conf
dence in the splendid future that awaits
The Pacific and Pacific lands, ! appeal 10
all those interested in the welfare oil the
South and the extension of American
commerce-for commerce is the life blood
of nations--to study this mighty PACING
opportunity and to allow those having &C
five interests not only to study this
mighty Pacific opportunity, but 10 enter,
exploit and make oonquests OF these vast
markets.
Let Dixie's argosies, laden to the gun
wales with her great staple, seek the
shores of far Cathay and bring back the
riches OF its coral strands.

United States Minister to siam.

HAWAIIAN
 

gathering themselves together and forming into little minor machines, each one of which Is buoyed with the hope of running things after the commission has made it's re- port and Congress has decided adapted to the peculiar conditions Of the islands.
 The missionaries who conducted re- public by a few people and for few people are discovering that being part and parcel of the United States Is not all that 1t was cracked up to be. They are asking one another, Where are we at?" and the guesses are not always reassuring.
 True, the Dole Government is still managing the affairs of Hawaii under provision of the Newlands resolution. but ex-Minister Sewall is to all intents and purposes temporary Governor Of the islands, and the change is not at all to the liking of the men who TOT five years have perpetuated themselves In office and grown fat and independ- ent at the public crib.
 The action of the American Union party, which is undoubtedly the ruling political power In the islands, in openly advocating Sewall for Governor has caused consternation in the ranks of Dole and his Cabinet. While apparent Iv in sympathy with the Dole party, they have been secretly working for the ex-Minister, and confidently expected that President McKinley's proclama- ton would name Sewall for Governor, with full power to select new Cabinet. The patronage to be distributed by this arrangement was what the American Union party banked on, and now that the expected change has not taken place they are in measure left en- tirely out in the cold.
 The proclamation sent here by the President was very vague, to say the least. and the American Union party dispatched by the last mail strong letter to Washington asking for ex- plicit instructions. and thoroughly de- fining their position. The terms of Dis trict Judges and other minor officers come to an end on September 1, and the politicians want a finger in the pie when the new appointees are named. Considerable patronage is attached to these offices, and the sisters, the cous- ins and the aunts of the famlly com pact" are liable to find themselves out of a job when the instructions reach here.
 That Dole and his Cabinet are con- cerned about this new development of things polite is evident from the un- natural desire of several or the party to retire to private life" It was not SUD- posed that this element was anywhere to be found in their compositions
 Attorney General Smith has already sent in his resignation, and several oth- CTS of the close corporation are leaning strongly in the same direction.
 A great and freezing coldness has come between President Dole and Min ister SewaIl even in this land of glori- ous sunshine. Mrs. Dole Is said to have snubbed Mrs. Sewall at the now famous democratic ball given in honor of the fiae-raising, and this seri- ous political rupture has set the gos- sinv tongues of all Honolulu to wag- ging furiously.
 So the new political pot or Ha"aii boiIe merrily. and until definite instruc tions arrive from Washington every one from Sewall down to the janitor of the executive building will still keep ask ing. Where do I get off"
The San Francisco call., 1898-08-26

take the oath of allegiance to the United States of America and pre- sented with the old American flag which was used on the United States cruiser Boston.
 The scene was touching in the ex treme. The men of the Hawaiian Regiment wept freely and several of them, eight or nine out of a single com pany, refused positively to take the oath. While their comrades uncovered and with uplifted hand received and acknowledged the oath of allegiance to an alien land, they stood sullenly with their caps drawn over their eyes and their guns clasped in their hands, blind and deaf alike to the urging of their officers and the example of their brothers in arms.
 Colonel Fisher presented the Ameri- can Flag with an appropriate speech.
 The old flag from the Boston has seen better days Its red and blue are faded. it's white is dingy and its stars are dim. This, which would make it all the dearer to Americans, was re- ceived as something of slight by the sensitive and so recently wounded Ha- waiians. Many of the men of the Regiment regarded 1t with ill-concealed contempt, and their weeping friends and sweethearts in the crowd gathered about the grounds, smiled derisively as the faded flag went up when the gay Hawaiian colors had just been low cred.
 One hearty American cheer saved the moment to both Hawaiians and Amer jeans as Old Glory went marching by.
