Desires to Keep
His Help Employed.

1t is customary to lay off fur factory hands
after the holidays. The fur work peoples
dull season Is from February to May. Many
of my hands have been with me for years.
They are among the best fur workers in the
world, and l do not like to lay them of, and
have decided to keep them in employment,
II l can do so without a loss. The hands are
willing to work for largely reduced wages
during the three dull months rather than be
idle, and 1 am willing to sell goods which
can be manufactured during those months
at nearly cost of production. lean produce
a Sealskin or Persian I.amb coat for $40
less thar | could before the holidays.
When the public can save $40 on the cost
of labor on a garment and the merchants
profit of, say, sos, an opportunity is afforded
to buy reliable furs at lower prices than any
other season of the year.. 1t will not be neces-
sary to quote ~prices-marked down, marked
down, marked down. TIL public are very
tired of 1t. Parties desiring to purchase
furs should take advantage of this splendid
opportunity.
If articles cannot be found In stock which
will fit and please, they can be made to order
at the low cost at which they can be pro-
duced during the work peoples dull season.
! havc a large stock of Persian Lamb,
Sealskin, Russian Sable, Hudson Bay Sable,
Mink and other standard and reliable furs
in conts. capes. collarettes, muffs. etc.
Also gentlemen's fur.lined overcoats, sleigh
robes, Sealskin caps and gloves.
Inspection is invited. 1t will pay parties
to purchase now for next season, besides
having the use of the garments for Febru-
AIRY and March-two cold months.

The Hawaiian Crown Lands.

EQS. RecOrd-U y MON In your paper
of this morning there is an article on
the claim of Lilioukalani for COM
pensation for the loss of the socalled
crown lands Of Hawaii. Now, how
ever, absurd said claim may be, it
rests on the same foundation as all
similar claims that have been pre-
sented to national tribunals. rejected
or adjusted, from time immemorial.
I know you think-because you have
more than once said SO in your journal
that the native Hawaiians have no
rights which the American people are
bound to respect. That is question
of ethics I will not now stop to dis
cuss ~
You ask by what right she held the
land. We all know the truth of the
trite saying, Might makes right" and
that Notwithstanding the fact that the
title to every inch Of the earth, from
the smallest individual holding to the
broadest national domain, traced to its
origin, rests either in force or fraud
The resultant rights are respected, if
there is might to defend them.
Lord Salisbury quoted the above
saying in one Of his recent after
dinner speeches. I thought, when I
read it, of an incident he once related
in his own experience. He said that
while once taking a Sunday morning
stroll over one Of his estates he found
a man from one Of the neighboring
mines taking his stroll Salisbury
asked him by what right he was
trespassing on his grounds. He re-
piled, "By what right do you hold
these grounds?" Il inherited them
from my ancestors" And how came
they by them?'' 4They fought for
them.'' And forthwith the fellow
struck a pugilistic attitude and said,
Come on; I'll fight you for themn'
There need be but little doubt but
the superior muscle of the miner would
have won the fight, but, then, he would
have had no extraneous power
to enforce his right, and Salisbury
would have had the full force of the
British Government.
And SO it is the world over. Granted
that Lilioukalani and her ancestors
held the land by ''the strong arm
alone" she was dispossessed Of them
by a stronger arm, and there may be
some equities in the case, so that the
great American nation in it's legisa-
tive and executive capacity may find
IL worth their Wnlle TO give TO ner
case a just and generous consideration,
not altogether on her own account,
but in the interest of the whole Ha-
waiian people (natives, i mean), as
feel sure whatever she may get will in
the main be used for their benefit
I say this in the face of the nasty,
miserable slurs which have been scat
tered broadcast over all the land by
the press about this woman. / re-
member that about two years ago 6
Honolulu woman was spending a few
days with my family. She was Ameri-
can-born, but was taken by her
parents to. the islands when quite
young, and had never been off them
until her then visit to the East She
was on her way home. One morning
she was reading newspaper, and,
throwing it down, she exclaimed: ut
makes my blood boil to read the horrid
lies these napers tell about Liliou-
kalani. I have known her from my
childhood, and know that in all the
essentials of decent wOmauhOod she il

plans, but there is impatience to have some
information regarding those plans and
some assurances that they will not delay
action too long.
1t was stated to-day in a high diplomatic
quarter that the Spanish government.
within the last ten days. had addressed a
note to the great powers of Europe, fully
setting forth the grave aspect of the con-
lroversy with the United States, and at
least inferentially suggesting that the time
was now opportune for European influence
to be exerted. 1t is said that this note led
to the utterances of Premier Hanotaux in
the French Chamber last Saturday, and
has been the cause of activity at European
capitals within the last few days in con.
nection with Spanish-American affairs
Up 10 the present time, however no actual
step toward mediation or Intervention has
been taken by any of the great powers
although there is little doubt that France
stands ready to take the initiative if there
is the slightest evidence that the United
States government will view such a move
with favor.
A tender of good offices is one of the last
resorts of diplomacy, when all other means
of avertng war seem to be at an end
There is additional difficulty from the fact
that when two nations are involved in a
crisis any external influence may be re-
| sented as an intrusion. There is reason
to believe that the French authorities are
| fully conscious of these delicate and diff
| cult phases, and that no step will be made
unless it is clearly apparent in advance
| that the United States desires the friendly
offices of other nations.
The Spanish government has earnestly
| hoped within the last week that some of
the European powers, and more likely
Austria or France, would take the inltla-
tive without waiting to consult the desires
of this government This hope has prov
| ed vain, however, and it is stated to-day
on high authority that recent negotiations
in Europe have disclosed positively that
while the sympathy of some of the CONT
mental powers was toward Spain, no one
of them stood ready to espouse her cause.

The greatest secrecy prevails in many of
! the bureaus of the war and navy depart

on, and the officials in many cases posi-

of this policy is in the navy department,

the Navy the great benefit the government
will derive from the establishment of a
coaling station at Tybee.
Senator Clay an1 col. Lester, who orig
inally brought the subject to the atten-
ton of the naval authorities, are glad to
have the cooperation of their colleagues
in behalf of Savannah, and the indications
are that Commander Bradford will submit
favorable recommendation to Secretary
Long.
Representative Carter Tate, who is a
member of the committee on naval affairs,
is taking an active interest in the subject,
and he has been to the department TO urge
the claims of Tybee with all the knowl-
edge and influence his position on the COM
mittee gives him.
Representatives Lewis, Bartlett, Adam
son, Livingston Maddox, Brantley How
ard, Griggs and Senator Bacon have per-
sonally presented the case to Secretary
Long, and the latter seems to be favor
ably impressed with the availability of
Tybee for the purpose mentioned.

work on the part of the delegation in be-
half of the Tybee site, for in the rush ard
hurry in the preparations for war the al
tention of the navy department may be di-
verted from Savannah to some other com

progress for the location of a coaling sta

supposed to be the site the government has
in view. Commander Bradford appeared
before the Senate committee on foreign
relations to discuss the subject of a West
India station, with a coal supply station
