HAWAII NOT WANTED.
SO Says a High English Official
No British Plot to Seize the ISL

No British Plot to Seize the ISL
ands.
LONDON, March lS-The Govern
ment of'Great Britain is surprised
at the report Of the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, which,
after presenting joint resolution
for the annexation of Hawaii, set
forth that Great Britain was plot
ting for the absorption of Hawaii.
A high official OF the British For
eign Office said to-day:
"It is unfortunate that the COM
mittee has such an erroneous i'm
preston. | cannot imagine upon
what supposed facts they base their
report. 1t seems improbable that
that the senators would issue official
statements on no other basis than
rumors and suspicious. AS matter
OF fact, nothing is farther from
Great Britsin's intentions than to
interfere in any way with the exist
ing regime in Hawaii. No steps in
that direction were ever contem-
plated. On the contrary, Her
Majesty's Government has recogniz-
ed that the United States has the
foremost interests in Hawaii, and
that it is natural and inevitable that
Hawaii should be under American
influence"

A Confession of Defeat.

At last those who have charge of
the Hawaiian treaty in the Senate
have confessed their defeat. The
acknowledgment comes late, and,
therefore, grudgingly, but no ono
suffers by it but themselves. II they
had taken this ground earlier, they
would have had more time to at
tempt to put Hawaiian annexation
into legislation in the form they
have substituted, and would have
found it less obstructed by other
affairs more invoking public alton
ton than their scheme. If the an
ticipa'ion OF an early adjpurnmeut
Of Congress which is said o bs feit
in influential quarters is rsalized,
they may fnd another difficulty in
their way. There ia little justifca-
ton for their being sanguine OF the
success of the joint resolution. 1t
is not to have an altogether easy
passage through the House, II re-
ports are reliable, and the oppor-
tuuities to delay it in the Senate are
almost unlimited. There are several
speeches already prepared on the
subject that may consume q great
deal OF time il their authors repeat
them in open Senate, as it is not un-
likely they may do. The measure

State Department that the magic mining
town has made rapid strides recently in
the way of building improvements. In
July there were only two large ware
houses. Four are now nearly complet-

the Yukon. Consul McCook says:
There will be no lack of provisions and

commodities.

JOKE BETRAYED HIS CRIME.
Facetiously Accused of EmbexzIe-

ment, stone promptly confessed.
Oswego, n. Y, Oct 17.-Bit by bit in
formation regarding the Tioga National
Bank failure is working out tending 10
show that the discovery of the wrong do
ing on the part of the dead cashier was
not only unexpected, but that his confess
sion grew out of a slip of the tongue and
came as a startling disclosure to the bank
examiner.
Stone had been suffering with malaria
and had been ordered by his son, DR..
Stone, to rest a few days at his home.
The cashier had given directions to an Of
fee boy that when the examiner arrived,
If he were not present TO leave the bank
by the back door and come for him in a
cab. When Van Brocklin arrived on the
eventful Friday Stone was at home, but
in a few moments he was at the bank.
It's always a good thing to have the
cashier here" remarked the examiner, as
walked in.
The cashier gave an uneasy start, but
seeing the examiner was smiling, replied:
"Oh, we can get through so much the
sooner If you have the help of one ac-
quainted with the books.
Stone left at the usual time that night,
but the examiner fingered, and in figuring
up column noticed small discrepancy.
He thought it a slight error, but after
supper walked to the Stone residence and
in a joking manner said: There's a def
cheney in the bank, Mr. Stone
He thought the cashier would laugh, but
instead he turned pale and asked: How
much is it?"
"A hundred thousand said the bank
examiner facetiously.
You are wrong" replied Stone; lit is
only $4,000
The effect can be imagined. There was
a hasty examination of the books that re-
suited in closing the bank.
