while In the Islands 1t would come on
tlreIy from the people connected with the
government of the Islands. and their
synpathizers He believed mat the great
mass of the people of the Islands would
favor such change as the best solu
ton of present conditions.
There is no political reason whv tbe
change should not be made" continued
the Judge. 1t would be necessary only
Tor Congress to pass an act that could
be written on sheet of foolscap paper.
and there would be no necessity of sub
mltting II to the people of the Islands
at all. Under the law Congress has the
power to pass such laws as in its wis
dom are deemed best for the government
OF the Islands, as it has luIl control OIL
the Territory
California would have to agree to the
annexation by an act OF the Legisla ture
calling for constitutional amendment
TO be voted on by the people of the State.
There is no more reason why the Ha-
Wa11an Islands should not become part
of California than there is against Long
Island being part of New York, or the
FaraLones being part of San Fran
cisco. With annexation to California the
Islands could be divided into a number
of counties, to be governed as other
counties are. The people of Hawaii are
ernment, but under present conditions
this is impossible. The entire official
government of the Islands now comes
from Governor Dole, who has the power
to appoint all the heads of departments
and control all the lesser appointments.
The Legislature recently passed an ex-
cellent bill creating counties and pro-
viding for municipal government but
Governor Dole refused to give up his
power and vetoed it
1.-The sentiment in favor of annexation
to California is growing in the Islands,
and two Of the Honolulu papers will
shortly begin a vigorous campaign look
ing to that END. The prospects of state
hood for Hawaii are SO remote that, in
my judgment, the one thing to be done
to bring order out of the chaos that ex-
lists there is to place them where they
will be a part of a great State, with
stable laws and fixed government. 1t
will bring about development in the
Islands that can never come under pres
ent conditions, and will add to the nap
piness of the people and security of
property"
Judge Humphreys, who is accompanied
by Mrs Humphreys and their baby
daughter, will remain In San Francisco
several days and will then make trip
TO his old home in Mississippi and thence
East, returning to the Islands about
August 1st-

lit was that the Congress could legislate
for a Territory without any question as
to wishes of the people or the apparent
conflict with the Constitution of the
United States. Judge Humphreys knows
| this if his defender does not.
The charge that there was a plot,
though to what end the plotters are
working does not appear, is coupled
with epithets and defances, directed
primarily at the Advertiser, and in view
of the allegations the history of the
Advertisers part in the uncovering of
the unholy plot to murder the Terrl-
tory and bury the remains in Califor-
MIA might well be told.
To consider the matter in order, then,
let it be the first point to show how the
conspiracy became public property.
Leaving aside the initial publication IN
the Republican of June 18th of the in
terview with President David Starr
Jordan. advocating the annexation plan'
as that was undoubtedly simply the
bait thrown out to catch the unwary,
indications of that being carried by the
request of the Republican to its readers
to discuss the matter through its col
umns, We come to the open pubhca-
tions.
HUMPHREYS PAPER FOR ANNEX
ALTON.
The day following the publication OF
the views of Dr. Jordan. in its columns,
the Republican in a long editorial says:
The suggestion of DR.. David Starr Jor-
dan that it would be a good thing for
Hawaii to be made part of the state
of California is one deserving OF the
most serious consideration by the people
of these Islands According to the oecl-
sion of the United States Supreme Court
recently rendered in the Porto Rlcah
and Hawaiian cases, Territories are the
sole creatures of Congress, and congress
has right to levy duties upon the ar
ticles imported into or exported from the
Territories to the States. Under TINS oe-
cision Hawaii is again in the pos!lioii
where she was when she had only
treaty of reciprocity providing Tor the
free admission of her great staple, su-
gar. into the United States.
One of the chief causes Of anneHatloii
was the uncertainty of reciprocity anu
the unsettled condition Of AFFAIRS mere.
1t was not known when Cohslee"
might be elected which would be unIa-
vorable to the reciprocity treaty anu
provide for its annulment 1t was pc
lieved that through annexation q
bilitv would be reached under wnlch tile
Islands would prosper as never s,.to, 49,

rron the san Francisco Chronicle, June
-u5ge Abram s. Humphreys of the

IN this city yesterday on the China and

trsl figures Of a bitter political contest
that Is causing much comment In the
Islands, but he declines to discuss polit-
