Hawaii Sends Deleg.
ates to Republican
Convention.
Question as to their Admission

A despatch to New York from San
Francisco Says
Hawaii is sending delegation to
the Republican National Uovention,
but the two delegates and the alter.
mates who arrived on the China to-
day are in doubt as to the reception
awaiting them at Philadelphia.
Hawaii was not included i'm the
call for the convention, as it was not
territory at that time, and the del
egates Were selected May 81, while
the islands were still an Independent
republic, and less than . monta bef-
ore the meeting OF the national con-
vention, so that there may be tech.
nical objections to the seating of the
delegates.
1t was impossible to hold the Ha
waiian conventions at an earlier date.
The act providing q government for
the islands was approved on April
80. The netcs reached the islands
ten days later, and the Republican
central committee, which had just
completed an organization, ordered
primaries and conventions in each
Of the six districts of the islands,
following the old monarchical divi-
sions. The six district conventions
elected delegates to the territorial
convention held at Honolulu on
May 81, when eighty delegates were
present. About forty of them were
native Hawaiians.
The convention passed resolutions
favoring q canal across the Isthmls
of Panama and a cable connection
between Hawaii and the, United
States. A separate resolution Pied
ged Republicans to work for the ad.
mission of Hawaii to statehood.
-Four delegates and four alternates
to the national convention were sci.
ected by ballot, the convention max
ing the mistake of assuming that q
territory would be entitled to four
d legates instead of two.

ing. And this time the condition of
affairs seems much worse, and the
discomfort of the people more wides.
pread than at the time Of the distur.
Dances in Barcelona and Seville.
Then, as now, the trouble vas brought
about by the great irritation among
the commercial and working classes
on account of the taxes imposed by
the Spanish ministry. While, no
1-wever, the outbreaks resulting from
THAT irritation were, on that occasion,
largely confined to one section Of
The country, the present agitation
appears to be far more general.
Moreover, the "National Union,"

ing the movement, has become more
bold. At the time referred to, itI
claimed to wish only for = pacific
demonstration, as the best means Of
informing the Government of ths
real sentiments of the people, and
its Secretary was diligent on the day
of the outbreak sending out tele-
grams deprecating all violence.
Now, however, whether incensed
at the failure of the Ministry to keep
its promises, or whether it feels more
sure of the united support of the
people, it has, through its numerous
branches throughout the Kingdom,
called upon citizens everywhere to
make fOrcible resistance to the co.,
lection of taxes.
Unpopular taxes, imposed by unp.
opular Ministers, to be collected by
unpopular officers, have in all ages
and in all countries been fruitful
solrces Of trouble and public distur-
Dances. And even more is this the
case when, as in Spain, the people
have feen led to believe that the
obnoxious taxes have not only been
unjustly levied, but have been un-
fairly distributed; or, in other words,
that an lnortinate burden las been
placed upon certain portions of the
country in order that more favored
sections might be let off more easi
ly.
And for all this the people blame
the present Ministry, and especially
Mr. Silvela, who rs held responsible
for the suspension OF constitutional
guarantees, somewhat similar pro-
ceeding to what is known in the
United States as ''declapng martial
aw.v
That the situation is grave cannot
be doubted, and the least that MAJ
be expected is the overthrow Of the
Ministry.
It has even been asserted that the
hatred Of the Ministry has been ref.
ested upon the Throne, but the poo
pie Of Spain have demonstrated 50
often their staunch loyalty to the
present Royal Family, that it is
dificnlt 10 believe that such feel
