A NOTED WOMAN.

Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague who re-
Gently died was the daughter of the
hate Chief Justice Chase OF the Supreme
Court and was one Of the notable
women Of her times. Her father ;

her leader Gov. Sprague to whom
she was married during the first year
Of the war, was a member Of the firm
Of SpIague Brothers of Rhode Island,

had been created by the efforts Of an
older generation. The younger gen
eratiUn, as usual In America, d'd not
know the value Of money, and the mag

Gov. Sprague was dissolute man from
his youth, and his rlotous ways gave
his wife such distress that she finally

SECRETARY HAYS ORDER.


Secretary of State John Hay should
have read the local organ Of the
Special Agent, and Professional
Patriots, before he issued his order con-
firming Mr.. Haywood in his Office OF
Consul General of the United States
in Hawaii. If the Constitution extends
to these Islands, there Is no authority
for the appointment Of such an officer
here. A consul-general is appointed
to reside in foreign State. and his
principal occupation is to certify to the
invoices Of goods exported from that
State to America. Neither the Con-
stitution or the laws permit or author
ize the President to appoint Consul
General who shall reside and act on
American territory. Secretary Hay
like the judges Of our Territorial
Supreme Court, has not paid close at
| tention to what is said here about
the nature and meaning of the Con
stitution. After his first interview
with Mr.. George ID. Gear, he will see
that he has made a fool Of himself
and will dash over to the White HOUSE
and tell the President that 1t was about
time for the government of the United
States to learn something about thu
] Constitution.
Mr.. Haywood has made an excellent
an efficient Consul-General. and thi
community puts a high value on hi
character. The State Department doe
also. There Is, of course, some chanc
that the organ OF the Constitutions
Ixtensionists and Mr.. Gear may con
.1ce Secretary Hay that he has made
an unconstitutional order, but Mr.
Haywood will hold the Office in the
meantime. In the tropics we have ;
clearer vision at night Of the stars II
the natural skies. Why should we no
have a clearer vision of the cOnstitu
tional stars in the political heavens
| Astronomer George ID. Gear will give
them lessons in Washington.

The Hawaiian Territorial baby Il
one year old today. She Il fat and
strong, and like all babies, rather Inn
perious at times. The food that best
develops her muscle and size Is Mel
Inns (Aslaticl food, OF which she has
taken large portions. and would like
more. Her teeth are appearing, ani
she has just dispatched an eminent at
torney to ask the Supreme Court Of the
United States to insert it, fingers into
her mouth, and find out how sharp
they are. She stoutly refuses TO be
put into any colonial cradle, or colonial
baby wagon. but properly insists upon
riding in the national stage-coach,
with no deadIhead limitations. Presi-
dent McKinley's policy of treating her
as all territorial babies have been
treated since the Union was made,
gives her the collie sometimes. and she
screams dreadfully, and kicks because
she is quite TOO young to understand
that the President is a careful and
honest nurse, and knows the proper
treatment OF Territorial babies and
will give her the food and clothing
best suited TO the station in life which
Providence has assigned TO her.

THE ANNIVERSARY.

Few If any regret the act of annex
alton which one year ago made these
islands a part of the American ter
ritory. IL has given us stability in
commercial and political matters. and
will secure in the end the dominance
Of American ideas regarding the labor
ing men who are the bone and sinew
Of the country.
The President, in Washington, has
been conservative in the administra-
ton OF the laws of this Territory. He
pants of Office here, and has disappoint-
ed the hopes of those who desired him
to follow the old rule in political
affairs,-"to clean the rascals out" In
following this course he has not had
the cordial approval of his friends" in
ti1is place.
The acquisition OF Porto Rico and
the Philippines, has raised some ques-
tons here as to what disposition Con.
Kress would make of this Territory
Nd Gar as discriminating laws are con-
cerned. But the Newlands Resolution,
which contains the contract of annexa-
ton with Hawaii, provides clearly
that:
Until legislation shall be enacted
extending the United States customs
laws and regulations to the Hawaiian
Islands. the existing customs relations
If the Hawaiian Islands with the
United States and other countries shall
remain unchanged"
This provision secures to us the
commercial advantages We have en-
jOyed for many years. Whatever may
he done to other territories, Congress
has agreed to pass laws which will
continue. and increase these advan-
tages. So far as political rights are
involved, 1t was plainly understood, In
the transaction of annexation, that the
Islands would remain as a Territory
subject to the rules Of Congress.
There Is every reason to rejoice that
q We are part OF the American ter
ritory, and let us be thankful to all
who aided in securing annexation, in
Guiding the starving people in Cuba
who promoted a war which forced an
neNation.

THE EX QUEEN.

1t is pity that the EX-Queen Llliu'
okalani continues to bite the file OF
Fate Her childish remarks about
anarchy in Hawaii display pettish
anger. which does her no credit
Anger and disgust at her lack OF
veracity in the pages of the book she
recently published, has been giving
way to the feeling that she should NOT
be too severely punished for her I'M
fortunate lack of sense in her career
as a Sovereign. There has been an in
crcasing disposition to urge the gov
eminent 10 provide for her. But the
natural s,ubbornness Of her nature
makes her an unforgiying creature and
she is unwilling to meet the com
munity half way.
After the confession she made in hcI
book that the native Hawaiians did
not contribute one dollar towards
securing her restoration to the throne
it might be expected that she would
have retired and made the best of III,
situation. She has been fortunate
however in one thing. Capt. Palmer
ceases to be her guide and friend. Il
Is possible that her childish talk {,
due to sickness II il is, much allow
aucc mus, be made for her singular
lack Of sense and knowledge.

GENERAL PEkVERSITY.

Perhaps President Mckinley is a
bad. mean man." because he refuses
to put the rascals out" of Office, as
the organ of the local Republican par
ty, acting as trustee for the unborn
party, insists he should do. Perhaps
the Republican Senators and Represen-
tatives, who have given Hawaii moth
ing but the Flag, as the organ declares,
are also bad. mean men," and have
lost the confidence of the trustees Of
the unborn party. Perhaps everybody
in Washington should be held up to
the scorn of somebody, for allowing a
few men to secure a cinch on the con-
troll OF this government" This eX-
asperating state of things is largely due
to the insidious contrivances, and I'M
demanded work of Senator Cullom,
Representative Hit, Senator Morgan,
and other leading but misguided men.
II the members of the local government
refused to catch the "cinch" when it
was thrown at them by President Nc
Kinley, it would surely have beer dis
creditable to their sagaci.y.
But there is hope yet. After Coun-
sellor Gear has smashed, before III"
Supreme Court, the reputation of the
late Daniel Webster for knowledge of
the Constitution. and knocked into a
cooked hat the opinions of the Repnb-
lican Senators, he can then walk over
to the White House, and tell the Preai
dent that he is putting his reputation
in peril in these Islands. and was
wickedly betrayed into tossing a
"cinch" into the hands of a few men
residing here. He can. moreover II
the President gives him time, strike an
attitude and eXclaim Hawaii has re-
ceived nothing but the Flag" But, he
can add, What, sir, Is the Flag, when
YOU have given the old gang out Their
cinch on all Of the offices? What Is
the Flag to us, without the otticos?
Have You forgotten, sir, after you
swore on the steps Of the Capitol "a

A CHANGE OF FRONT.

Recent events bring out in sharp
contrast the merits of the perpetual
dispute between the Protectionists and
the Free Traders.
The Louisiana planters and the Sugar
Beet men accuse the Protectionists of
swallowing their own words, and of
making flying leap over and into the
ranks of the Free Traders. One OF
them expresses his complaint in these
words:
The annexation of islands-pro-
ducing products with cheap labor that
completes with our own means a heroic
attempt to get those products in free
of duty. breaking down our own home
industries. reducing the wages of labor
and depicting our revenues. making in
ternal revenue instead of customs
taxation a necessity and that means
more burdens for the poorer and mid
die classes who use tobacco and beer
already taxed most shamefully."
They more bitterly complain of
Robert =. Porter, who is representa-
tive Protectionist who is in favor of
the annexation of Cuba, although 1t
| will result in the reducing the value
of American cane and beet sugar, and
make it necessary to raise by an in
come tax the amount of fifty or sixty
millions Of dollars now raised from the
customs duty on sugars. Mr.. Porter
is charged with striking at the prin-
| ciple of Protection; and of being will
ing to deprive many thousands OF
American laborers Of the means of liv'
ing. -" 20. &C.. . ..
Mr.. Porter's reply, 1t may be pre-.
sumed, Is that he does not desire 10
especially benefit one or several par
ticular industries but looks to the
greater benefits of all, in the anneXa-
| ton of Cuba, and its larger consump-
tion of American products. He believes
that more American workmen and
merchants will be benefited by the an
neXatiOn than by the independence of
the Island. He believes also that the
system of Protection built up the
American industries. and If any other
policy will aid these industries. it
should be followed, even If 1t is in
consistent theoretically with the old
policy of Protection. 1t is the case OF
the martyr who refuses to recant. but
when he is in sight of the stake and
the faggots, sees that there is before
him a practical rather than theoreti'
cal question, and rtcants on the spot.
The thoughtful Europeans said sew
eral years ago. that American eXpan'
sion would strike at Protection, but
that the Protectiuhists were not awar,

FIRST OFFICERS STORY.
The story of First Officer Carlson
was substantially the same as that of
Bowen.
Everything possible was done, but
the water just seemed to be rushing
in" he said. Captain Walker was
very cool throughout There was about
ten feet of water in her when we left.

than three feet. At the rate the water
was gaining | am sure she sunk with

were to leave shortly after us. but al
2 o'clock there was no sign of them
The steamer was still floating at thar
time. 1t is impossible to say where
the remainder OF the crew is. During
the night the winds varied more or
less. We were ,drenched through and
had little to eat. Our suffering was
intense. After we landed on Kauai ev-
|erything possible was done for us by
the plantation people. Captain Fullet
of the Makee also treated us royalty.
He brought out all the best things he
had to eat. and we were just the ones
to do justice to them.
by this time the City of Columbia
lies beneath many fathoms of water
you may rest assured
WHAT THE STEWARD SAID.
Chief Steward de Jiere reiterated his
shipmate's stories.
None of us have any clothes except
the working suits we had on when We
left. The boats were small and We
were not able to put anything in eX
cept absolute necessities, for We did
not know how long we might be in
making a landing. We are totally des-
titute, for all our belongings are with

stories told by them there was a grow
ing belief on the water front last
night that the City of Columbia was
still on her way to HOngkong One
high local official who had made
thorough investigation of the matter
was emphatic in his statements.
1T is very noticeable" he said, that
pretty nearly every one of the men
who returned were taken on board by

The City OF Columbia can easily be-
handled by the number Of men now
said to be missing, and 1t IL probable
that the steamer Is on her way To

This rumor gained currency during
the evening. and further developments
are anxiously awaited.
