The San Francisco call., 1898-07-28

ernment Hawaii is in political tur- moil. People are asking their neigh bors who is to be the first Governor under the new order of things. Pres ident Dole was spoken of quite freely as the man who was foremost in the race for the appointment. He has, however, many opponents, not only among annexationists, but the native Hawaiians stand almost as unit against his appointment. It was be- lieved however, up to the time of the arrival of the Alameda that Dole had been selected by Mckinley for the place and societies were being quietly formed to bring organized opposition against his appointment. Sewall and Hatch were spoken of as being more popular men and men more in touch with the people. Sewall was chosen as the Ia yorite by several of the political clubs and particularly by the American Un- ion party. and the next steamer from the islands will carry many strong recommendations to President McKin-
 ley from the residents of Hawai- to name Sewall as the first Governor Of Americas new territory.
 Then the Alameda brought news of the appointment of Dole as member of the commission and in the minds of many 1t was considered as understood | ceive the appointment of Governor.
 On all sides none but warmest ex- pressions of kindness and sympathy are heard for Princess Kaiulani, who would have succeeded Queen Lil1uoka- lani to the throne. It was the fondest hope of the native Hawaiians to have the gentle Princess as their ruler. She was educated at the best colleges Tn Europe. and given @ deep insight into the mysteries of constitutional govern ment to fit her for the position destiny seemed to will her to occupy. Few young people had better prospects than the Princess and heir apparent to the throne to rule one of the most hos pitable and loving nations nthe earth, and she lost it all through no fault of her own. The Republican Government of Hawaii felt the position in which the Princess had been placed by the overthrow of the monarchy and they granted her an allowance from the public fund to enable her to maintain her station in life It was a small amount and many of the supporters of the Government felt that 1t was far too small. One of the hopes now en- tertained by the native Hawaiians is that the American Government will continue the allowance and possibly increase it.
 1T am sorry the American nation has taken these islands as a part Of it's territory" said the Princess. T had hoped it would never occur. do not know what will become of the Ha- waiian people. fear it will mean their extinction and social degradation. Now that we are annexed we must make the best of 1t, and I only hope the American people will give these islands such government as will foster and advance the Hawaiian race"
 The business men of Honolulu began to talk freely of a cable between the Hawaiian Islands and the American coast when the first enthusiasm of the
 news of annexation brought by the Coptic subsided. Such a cable has been projected many times, but the plans always came to naught for the
 want of sufficient government support and the merchants were almost in de- spair of ever getting in closer commun-
 ication with the American coast than
