ANARCHY IN HAWAII.
So Says Former Queen Liliuokalni
I'm nm Interview.

Washington. AYR. G-Tha Post prints
IN. interview with Liliuokalani, ex-
queen of the Hawaiian islands. who is
residing here. The former queen re-
ceives many letters from home, and
says what the people need there Is
some head to the government. She
adds:
Reports to the contrary notwith-
standing the islands are in a state of
practical anarchy. We u say we, be-
cause count myself one Of my people,
have no laws but those which have
obtained for many years and n few
which have been foisted upon us by
the Hawaiian republic.
'There is no such thing as real JUS
tice. The native has not the same
standing when he goes to law with the
white man and even some of the for
eigners find that they cannot obtain
their dues. The government Is an
oligarchy instead of republic. Ca
price dictates the administration of
affairs. speak with no bitterness
whatever. am merely endeavoring
to give a correct picture of the condi-
lions. The Inhabitants of the islands
know nothing whatever Of their fate
or what sort of government will be
placed over them"
Liliuokalani expresses every conf
dence in the honorable intentions OF
America, and hopes when a decision is
made as to form of government for
the islands that the official will be ap-
pointed from this country.

LAURIER WON'T COME.
Under Present Conditions He Cannot
Visit the United States.

Washington, Aug. 6. - Mr.. F. w.
Fitzpatrick, of the treasury depart
ment, has just returned to Washing
ton from Ottawa, Can, where he went
ut the instance of the committee Of
citizens of Chicago in charge of the
ceremonies of laying the corner stone
of that city's great postotfice building
next October by President Mckinley,
to arrange for the formal invitation
and expected acceptance of an invita-
ton from Chicago's citizens to the
governor general and cabinet of Cana
da to participate in those festivities.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick is the assistant United
States architect under Architect Henry
Ives Cobb, for the Chicago building.
He admitted that his official reception
was slightly chilly Sir Wilfred Laur-
Ter very candidly telling him that un-
der the present conditions it would be
impossible for him to accept or even
to consider any social invitations to
this side of the border. Sir Wilfred
told Mr.. Fitzpatrick that on account of
the feeling regarding the boundary
question he feared that himself and
the governor general might be subject
ed to indignities by irresponsible per-
sons.

NOTHING TO ARB1TRATE.
Additional Proof of the Justncss o.
Our Alaskan Contention.

Additional Proof of the Justness of
Our Alaskan Contention.
San Francisco, Aug. 4. - United
States Senator George G. Perkins has
just returned from Alaska. Speaking
of the boundary dispute, the senator
said:
81 think the matter will be amicably
settled without arbitration. There Is
nothing to arbitrate. 1t would be just
as reasonable for us to insist upon
taking up the old boundary question
between the United States and Canada
again, and declare our dissatisfaction
with the forty-ninth degree Of latitude.
England long ago recognized the boun-
dairy for which we are contending. She
did this when the Hudson Bay COM,
pany (Which was practically Canada!
at that time) executed lease for ten
years from Russia Of the territory she
is now contending for. This lease was
renewed for second term, so what
better proof could any one ask of our
ownership? These lands, which the
Hudson Bay company leased from
Russia and England now seeks to lay
claim to, we purchased from Russia"

Disappointed and Discouraged he
Wants to Abdicate.
London, Aug. en-. De Blowitz, the
Paris correspondent of the Times,
gives an extraordinary explanation Of
M. Delcasse's present mission. He
assert that it was decided on quite
suddenly for treason which admitted
Of no delay" and then gives the story,
which he says he has from "a source
to which am bound to attach i'm
po1tance." This is the explanation:
Emperor Nicholas is disappointed
and tired Of the throne. The absence
Of an heir excites his superstitious
feelings, and he connects himself with
Russian legend, according to which
an heirl&ss car is to be succeeded by
a car Michael, predestined to occupy
Constantinople. The death of the
czarewitch and the failure of the con-
ference at The Hague. led him to de-
eide to abdicate OH the occasion of his
coming visit to Darmstadt On this
becoming known in Paris NJ. Delcasse
was sent in hot haste to dissuade him
from carrying out his intention"

Retail Coal Dealers at Duluth Are
Driven Out Of Business.

Driven Out OF Business.
Duluth, Mimi, Aug. Alive retail
coal dealers in this city have been
driven out of business by the decision
Of the coal dock companies to sell di.
rect to the consumers. But two retail
ers continue in business, and this is
said to be due to peculiar conditions
that are likely to prove only tenn
porary. 1t is said that retailers all
over the Northwest are to be forced
out Of business not only in the cities,
but at small stations. The manner in
which this is to be brought about here
Is by charging the retailer $5.65 ton
for anthracite coal. He has been get
ting it lately fer 1925 ton and retail
Ing 1t for So, leaving a margin to COW
er teaming expense and profit of Is
cents ton. The teaming expense
here Is figured to average IS cents
ton. From this time forward the COM
panies will sell domestic sizes of an
throcite to the consumer for the same
figure as they will be sold to the re-
tailers. The result is that the retailer
can take the price of the delivery for
his pains and risk. The result is that
the retailer will 60 out of the selling
business, though he may continue to
do delivery business by risking only
the charge Of the delivery.

River junction, Fla, Aug 6. - The
most disastrous cyclone that ever WIS.,
tied this section Of Florida completely
annihilated Carrabelle, Mcintyre and
Lanark Inn, south of here Thursday.
AT Carrabelle only nine houses remain
of once beautiful and prosperous
town. Communications from the
mayer state that 200 families are
without home and shelter and that
many are completely destitute. OF
Mcintyre only two mill boilers mark
the place of the town. Lanark Inn,
the famous summer resort, was blown
into the river.
The Carrabelle, Tallahassee &
Georgia railroad is washed away for a
distance of thirty miles. A special
train was blown from the track more
than 100 yards. Many passengers
were injured but their names are un-
obtainable. Mary Williams, colored,
was killed at Carrabelle. Numerous
others had legs and arms broken.
Daniel Heel Of Apalachacola had his
back broken and is not expected to re-
cover. No fatalities are reported from
Mcintyre or Lanark.
Fifteen ships lying at anchor in Dog
Island cove and upper anchorage are
now all high and dry on st. George and
Dog island. Twelve were loaded with
lumber and ready for sea. Nothing
remains of them but mass of wreck
age. Three pilot boats and the steam
;ers OLA and Capitola and forty boats
of under twenty tons were lost. Six
lumber lighters, loaded, are gone. Not
one of the entire fleet can be saved.
Five unidentified bodies have been
recovered, supposed to be sailors. Tug
boats have gone from here to the scene
of the wreckage, and all possible aid
is being given. Fifty destitute sail
ors We're brought here yesterday and
are being cared for. A mass meeting
was held here last night and all posi-
bic aid will be given the destitute. One
million dollars will not cover the loss.
The insurance was small.
