the gallant admiral was not to be out

from around her neck and over her

Every time a speaking Democrat gets
on a local platform he tells the Hawaii
ans that the Republicans stole their
throne and evicted their Queen. DIR.
McGrew, the father Of the Hawaiian
Democracy and the original annexa-
ZIONIST here, Is but one of the many
personal refutations OF that perennial
faisehood. IL is entirely safe to say
that seventy-ive per cent of the white
kamaainas who belong to the Demo-
cratic party had their names on the roll
OF the Annexation Club. AS to the at
ttude OF the national Democrats to-
ward the Hawaiian Monarchy It was
Albert 8. Willis, a Democrat, who in
vented the story of Dyak reprisals
which induced Democratic President
Cleveland to turn the restoration issue
over to Congress. and which led that
Democratic body, under the enthusiast
tic leadership OF Democratic Senator
Morgan, to turn the Queens cause
down. IL Is poor policy for the Democ-
racy TO summon up the ghosts of

spectral shapes point accusing fingers

INCREASE OF EXPORTS.

The Washington Star has the follow
ing which is of more or less local in
terest:
August exports to Asia and Oceania
show falling off of nearly $4,000, 900 as
compared with August of last year.
There are two reasons for this First,
the war in China; second, the refusal
of exporters on the Pacific coast to fur
nish statements of the value of their
exports to the Hawaiian Islands, which,
they claim, are no longer foreign ter
ritory. and that therefore the bureau of
statistics has no authority to require a
statement of the quantity and value of
merchandise passing between those ISL
ands and the United States. The re-
duction in exports to China is from ST.
392,205 in August, 1899, to $216,390 in
August, 1900 due. of course, to the ex-
istence of hostilities in that country.
The apparent reduction in exports to
Hawaii Is from s1,0S7,421 in August,
1899. to nothing in 1900, though it is
probable that II the facts were known
the exports to the Hawaiian Islands In
August, 1900. would show a much larger
sum than in August, 1899.
notwithstanding these adverse condi-
lions, one of which is real and the other
apparent, our exports to Asia and
Oceania will show during the eight
months ending with August an increase
OF more than 20 per cent over those of
the corresponding months Of last year.
as against an increase of per cent in
our exports to Nthe South American
countries and IA per cent in our exports
to Europe. In no other part of the
world do American exports show as
rapid an increase as in Asia and Ocean,
la. To Japan our exports during the
eight months ending with August
amount to more than s21, 900, 900. as
against $l2.000,000 in the corresponding

senator Vest to Stand for Re-eIec-
ton TO the Senate.

ST JOSEPH. Mo-, Oct. 24.-United
States Senator George Graham Vest has
decided TO upset the calculations of the
Democratic leaders OF the State and an
nounces himself candidate for reelection
to succeed himself. The announcement
has not been made public. but it has been
made to 4 few friends. one of them resid-
ing in this city having received Il message
from the Senator today apprising him Of
the fact.
Just how 1t will be received by friends
of the Senator is rather uncertain. In
view OF what be has heretofore said about
the matter and the expressed determine
ton of several prominent men in the party
tG go after the honor, it will certainly
blast the hopes of Hon William j. Stone,
manager of Bryan's campaign in the East.
The Senator is in very had health and has
been in a frail physical condition for some
time. He has told his friends in this city
that he never would become a candidate
after the expiration Of his present term,
which is in 1902
Many Of the Democratic leaders in this
part of the State have been quietly sup
porting some candidate wholly ignorant OF
the real intention of the Senator. In the
message to his st. Joseph friend, the Sena-
tor says he believes his health will per-
nit him to again stand for reelection,
and that he has decided to let it be known
that he is not out Of the race.

LAST DAY OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Mr.. Bryan to Make n Flying Tour of
Nebraska,

LINCOLN. Neb.. Oct. 24.-Mr. Bryan
will devote just one day to the remainder
Of the campaign in Nebraska. That day
will be on Monday. November 5. He wired
to the Fusion managers that he acceded to
the urgent request Of the Chicago Demo-
Gratis, and instead of coming home on Sat-
urday he would devote that entire day to
covering Chicago. He will start for home
that night and rest here all day Sunday.
The remainder of the programme has been
arranged by the State Committee.
He will leave Lincoln at O'Clock Mon
day morning and make a speech at every
important point between this city and
Hcldredge, half way across the southern
part of the State. Then he doubles back
1G0 miles to the southeast until Blue Hill
is reached. From there he goes north to
Aurora, and then east over the Burlington
Billings line, reaching Lincoln for an i'm
portant meeting. From here he goes to
Omaha, where he will be billed for ten
speeches in as many different halls. In
all he will cover 400 miles and make
twenty-five speeches. The section to be
travelled is the most thickly populated
part of the State and about evenly divided
politically.
Roosevelt Travelled through the same
section three weeks ago, and only one day
will be required by Mr.. Bryan to answer
the speeches the Governor made.

France Approves Our Reply to the
AnglO-German Compact.
PARIS. Oct. 24.-The note of Secretary
Hay to NJ. Thiebaut. French Charge d AZ
flares at Washington. gives satisfaction
here. 1t Is declared in diplomatic circles
that it exactly fits the situation.
Mr.. Hays prudent reserve In requesting
the meaning of clause of the Anglo
German agreement is much praised. 1t
would cause no surprise il Russia and
France should adopt Mr.. Hays wording
in writing their replies to the Anglo
German note. though it is probable that
neither nation will be in any hurry in
forwarding Its answer. 1t Is likely
that they will adopt the dilatory method
of Lord Salisbury when he is confronted
by an event the exact bearings Of which
are obscure.
While it is true that the contents of the
Anglo-German agreement are innocuous
the method of its incubation is the cause
of anxious surprise. there being apparently
no reason why all the powers co-operat-
ing in China should not have been stimuli
taneously consulted.
Moreover. it would be idle to deny that
the surprising cordially that has sudden
ly sprung up between the Bxitish and Ger
mans gives French politicians food for
thought. Toward such cordially, IL ap-
piled to the Chinese question alone.
France, like the United States, harbors
no hard thoughts, but if 1t applies to
Western questions also, 1t therefore be-
comes serious indeed
