planned In the first instance. Just as
the bridegroom was starting for Cali

before the examining board at Fort

without his bride, he persuaded MS at-
tractive little ffancee to consent to an
immediate marriage On Saturday the
conclusion was reached but, by 1nous-
triously telephoning, nearly hundrea
friends were gathered at the nome OF
the bride on Sunday evening.
The little Cadenasso fiat, which Mrs.
Montgomery and her daughter have oc-
cupied since the fire, was most artis-
tically decorated with quantities or
greens and blossoms of various hues.
In the DRAWN room, where the cere-
mony took place. there was a bower OF
flowers and a huge flag was draped.
Miss Montgomery was most chic and
charming bride, her wedding gown be-

over white silk. She wore a long

(From the Boston Transcript
| Hawaii's relation to the political
problems that arise in connection with
the American sugar supply is so close
that its present attitude should not be
misunderstood. Many Americans who
regret the annexation or the archipelago
seem to take it for granted that the
men who brought this about were inn
rulsive; this Is a view recently pre-
| scented in the letters of Mr.. Osborne
Howes According to 1t the Hawaiians
! might. have held the United States in
definitely to the reciprocity treaty by
| thrayts of annexation to England or
Germany, and so retained all the adj
yantages that come from political al
! lance without the handicap OF our Chi
nese exclusion laws. The Hawaiian
Idea is that this theory is palpably alb
surd. England or Germany as friendly
nations, would hardly have annexed a
bit of territory on which the United
States had, so to speak, a lien. Had
Hawaii offered herself 10 England, the
English Government would have ap-
pealed Immediately to our Govern
nent, which would In turn have sig
there the matter would have dropped.
The Hawaiian anneXationists further
believed that the rumors of our abro-
eating the reciprocity treaty were more
than mere suggestions: that the power
of the beet sugar producers at time
when the beet sugar enthusiasm was
high. would undoubtedly In the end,
prevail. The United States was and is
the Hawaiians' only sugar market.
The! saw that II put at a disadvantage
with the sugar producers in this coun-
try, the combination or duties and
freight rates would inevitably drive
thc:, out OF business. They say that
they also appreciated the labor difficult

Had they thought annexation to En-
gland or Germany possible, with great
er financial advantages, they would
still have chosen the United States.
They went 10 Hawaii as missionaries
or for business reasons. They became

the American element in the islands
felt that there was nothing to do but
to rebel, and turn to the mother coun-

The final impetus which made the
white men, and most of the natives
also, work almost feverishly for Amer

THE FUSION
PLATFORM

The following nro the principal
planks in the Fusion platform adopted
by the convention on Hawaii;
The Democratic. Home Rule Fusion
Party of the County OF Hawaii, in con.
vcntion assembled, hereby endorses the
Home Rule platform of 1908, which is
declared to be good Democratic doc
trine and should be accepted by every
Democrat in the Territory; and we also
endorse the Democratic platform of
1904.
Income Tax Law.-We endorse the
Income Tax Law and demand that the
same be amended so as to be payable
in the county where the property is
located whith produces the income; and
we give due credit to the Home Rule
| Legislature which enacted this, the
most just and fair taxation law upon
our statutes, and we will condemn any
attempt to modify it by further ex-
emptions or alterations.
Revision of Property Tax Law.-Wc
| demand a thorough revision of the prop
erty tax law mt the coming session of
| the Legislature and can see no necessity
for tax commission and further delay
as proposed in the Republican Platform
recently adopted at Waikiki.
Tax Assessor and Recorder of Deeds.
We demand that Tax Assessors be
| elected as county officers and that all
| fines and licenses be paid into the coun-
| ty treasury; and that a recorder of
deeds be elected as county officer.
High Sheriff and Superintendent Of
| Public Works-We demand that the
office of High Sheriff he abolished, and
declare it to be useless, un-American
| and un-Democratic; we also demand
that the Office of Superintendent of
| Public Works be abolished and that
| the functions of said office be vested
in the Board of Supervisors of the
several counties, as elsewhere through
out the United States.
Eight Hour Work Day and Minimum
| Wage.-We endorse the eight-hour
work day on the public works and de.
mand minimum wage of $3.50 per
day which the last Republican Legisla-
ture refused. We also demand that
only citizens and those eligible to be-
come such, shall be employed in any
public service of this Territory.
Complete County Government.-We
demand that full and complete county
government be enacted by the next
Legislature, and in the event of failure
through the opposition of hostile
Governor, or other opposition, that the
Congress vi the United States be APP
pealed to directly by the people, to pass
such full measures of county govern
ment as are enjoyed by our fellow
citizens on the mainland. We denounce
the present county law as pretense
and a sham; that it does not compare
favorably with township government in
| other territories.
Election of All Officers.-We demand
the election of all county and district
officers, such as district magistrates
! road supervisors, truant officers, pound
masters, and that law be passed ere,
ating the Office of constables in each
district and providing for the election
| thereof.
i 70 Regulate Inter-Island Transports
tion.-We favor law regulating inter
! island rates of transportation with pro-
visions for Imprisonment only for vio-
lation, and that commissioner be elect
ed by the qualified electors of the
Territory to enforce such law; and

RAIDS BY JAPANESE
SEALING SCHOONERS

VICTORIA, b. c., Sept. 2s.-The
sealing schooner City of San Diego,
first of the fleet from Boring Sea to
reach port, has arrived, bringing news
of several more raids made by Japan
ese sealing schooners, armed with
quick-firing guns. on Copper and Ber-
ing Islands, whose rookeries are leased
by an American company from the
Russian government, which has guards
on the islands. Hunters of Japanese
schooners who boarded the City of San
Diego in Boring Sea reported that n
number of Japanese schooners had
made raids at Copper Island, two being
armed with gatlings, with which they
bombarded the huts OF the guards on
the island before landing.
During the past summer 1t was esti-
mated that at least twenty Japanese
were killed. and none know how many
Russians had been shot. The captain
of one of the Japanese schooners was
among the killed, having been shot
through the head by the rookery
guards. The City of San Diego re-
ported seeing about twenty-five Japan
csc schooners in Boring Sea. They
were clustered close about the Islands
and shooting right and left, conse-
quently the Victoria schooners were
Obliged to remain sixty miles outside
of the island, and had a poor season.
