MAY BE HAD FOR THE ASKING,
A Distinct Tender OF the Hawaiian Is
lands to the Executive of the
United STAGES.

SAN Francisco. May 2s.-The Ha-
waiian Star publishes the following:
There is no doubt whatever that the
Hawaiian government has made a dis
tinct tender of the islands to the exec
utive of the United States. The news
has been published in many of the
coast and eastern papers and has been
denied. The Star is in "a position to
state such a letter has been written
and that a reply to it is being awaited
here.
This reply will probably reach Hon
olulu by the next mail. 1t is impossi-
BILE to get the exact text of the letter,
and the island executive does not feel
hat it is diplomatic courtesy that the
letter should be given to the public
here before the United States govern
ment can reply. The mere fact that
the transports are coming here, and the
island used as a basis for the Manila
squadron, makes a large number OF
people think that the offer will un-
d~oubtedly be accepted.

In the garden and small fruit plat,

A new through Sleeping Car line between
81. Louis and Colorado Springs will be estab-
lished over the Wabash hook Island Short
Line, May 18TH. 1898. The time will be the
fastest made with through service between
these two points by many hours. A through
Sleeper will leave St. LOUIS on Wabash traln
No. 3, at go a. m, arriving at Colorado
Springs the next morning at 100, with a di-
rect connection for Denver, arriving at ll.30
a. m. This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between St. Louis
and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 2.45 p. m, and ar
rive at st. Louis the next evening at CHS.
Patrons of this line will avoid the only un
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col
orado travel, inasmuch as the trip through
Missouri's fertile fields will now be by day
light, and the unattractive portion of Kansas
will be traversed during the night, with the
mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the
morning.

commend the Wabash Route to intending
