garding the letter and opinion of At

revolution here.

does not construe the letter to be in-

rection is given as to what sort of set
Elements are to be made. when they
shall be made, nor how they shall be

In referring the matter back to- the
Hawaiian Government, the letter
states that they are resubmitted 'for
consideration and settlement"
The question is how far does thatSgo,
Does it mean settlement on a basis Of
Attorney General Griggs' reasoning,
which is general in character, or does
it leave the matter entirely in the
hands of the Government of Hawaii to
do as it pleases about 1t, the United
States holding to it's former policy of
having absolutely nothing to do with
the questions?
/ President Dole thinks the matters are
again entirely in the hands of the local
Government, on practically the old
basis. There are others, however. who
think that as the matters were taken
up years ago as the subject of diplo-
matte correspondence between Hawaii
and Great Britain, they are still pend

LONDON. Nov 6-The general belief
in London is that the Beers are now
waiting for more guns from Pretoria
before attacking Ladysmith. The fact
that Sir Redvers Butler appears to

The Times in a careful editorial to-

States to the war in South Africa, says:
When the Continent rings with de-
nunciations of England, it is very
cheering and refreshing for the English
people to note the sympathy and inteHi-
gent comprehension manifested in the
United States. We should prize Ameri-
can sympathy in any case, but it be-
comes doubly grateful when manifestly
based on a deliberate and well inform
ed judgment of the essential merits Of
the quarrel. as we'll as upon a recipro-
cation of the kindly feelings with which
Englishmen regard American enter
prises.
THE American people are not blinded
by the accident that the Transvaal calls
itself a republic. They know that ev-

wanting; and they know also that Eng
land stands for equal laws. individual

which together makes up the republi-
