They considered the probable attitude of Japan regarding the exclusion of Japanese subjects from there public, and concluded that nothing Berious was to, bo expected from Japan. The agitation over the action of the Hawaiian authorities has quietod in Japan, which intends settling the controversy on diplo matic lines. Hawaii has also oeased to bo alarmed. Altogether tho President and Cabinet think tho situation has ohangod for tho better since tho receipt of thotdis quieting news that caused tho Navy Department to scud tho cruiser Philadelphia post hasto to Honolulu. For tho Annexation orilniVRll. Washington, D. 0., May 8. Representative King of Utah in troduced a resolution providing for tho annexation of Hawaii. The resolution declares that the terri tory may be received into the Union whenever the Government of Hawaii shall cedo it to the United States, the President to ro- ceivo it by proclamation and Con gross to make laws for its govern ment. It is provided that the laws for the exclusion of Chinese shall apply to the islands and no Chi nese there shall be permitted to enter tho United States.

Harold Sewall, the now Minister to Hawaii, arrived here today for instructions. He may be delayed and ho says that the administra tion is much perplexed over the threatening position of Japan and tho question of annexation. How to Wud Silk Vesta Wlthent Ironing-. A very simple and pretty front is niado of wash silk carved out at tho throat lines and basted on n stiff collar, about which a ribbon is tied, finishing in a bow at the back. Tho silk is long euough to hang a littlo full at the waist. A thread is run about two inches from tho bottom, drawing tho fullness into tho front, and this is tuoked under tho band of tho skirt and held firmly in placo by the bolt of leather or ribbon. To lanndor this all that is necessary is to rip off tho collar, let out tho draw ing thread, wash it thoroughly in warm soupsuds, rinso in cold water and while still vory wet pin it, strotchod tightly, on a lapboard or any smooth surface. When dry, it will be as free from wrinkles us if ironed and as soft as new silk. It is a great mistake ever to iron thin silk, as, if dono when damp, it be comes as crockly as paper, whilo if al lowed to partly dry first it is almost impossible to entirely remove tho rough, dry appearance, unless u very hot iron is used, in which caso there is danger of scorching. How to Muke Dainty Bonbon lloxis. Very pretty bonbon boxes for a lunch eon may bo inodo at homo. You will need cardboard boxes, ono for every guest. Cover them with creamy china silk over a layer of cotton wudding and decorate them with water colors. A pretty design is a delicato fern pattern in shades of cool green. Lino tho boxes with green oiupo paper, fill with candied violetH and tio with bebo green ribbon. Put tho guest's numo 'across ono corner. Boxes covered with linen and hand painted aro exceedingly pretty. Ladies should buy "crepe" roll tissue paper at Wall, Nichols Co., only 25 cents, during clearance sale. Tho repair department of the Hawaiian Oyclo & Manufacturing Co. opposite Lowers & Cooko's is one of the busiest places in Hono lulu. Sick Bicycles aro sure of attontion from the most skilful of bike doctors if taken there. It's ono thing to take an order for a portrait and quite another to fill it satisfactorily. King Bros' portraits have always been known to give satisfaction and now that they have reduced thoir prices so low, an extra inducement is offer ed. See what they have before you invest. Madam Yule, who lately ar rived from tho Coast, is located at tho Eagle House, Nuuanu street, where sho is prepared to per manently remove moles, warts and superfluous hair, by electricity. Sho has also for salo an excellent face bleach, warranted pot to in jure tho skin. Madam Yulo makes a specialty of electric treatmont. Chapter of Accident on Pour NiiKnr VenaelK, Four of tho craok Hawaiian linors started on a race for Ha waii today, says a late Call, and every one of them had an accident to record before getting under way. Captain K. Garrison, chief clerk for Kenfiold and Co., had been to tho barkentino Planter on busi nees and was bidding good-by to Captain Dow on the poop deck when ho lost his footing and fell to tho main deck, fracturing four of his ribs. On the 8. G. Wilder, .while tak ing on board a number of mules for the plantations one of tho ani mals got loose and not only kick ed Second Mate "Tom" Smith into insensibility but nearly killed the carpenter. A dootor was called in, und after careful treatment ho gave it as his opinion that both men could go to sea without danger. The Wildor takes out fifty-two mules and the Aloha has over seventy, whilo the Planter's con signment has not been counted. The Hawaiian climate is not conducive to mule longevity, and the consequence is that every vessol that leaves hero for Hono lulu, Kahului, Mahukona and other ports in the group takes a full load of the hybrids. Planta tion life does not suit them, and tho demand is always greater than the supply. e on Biding Bicycles to HeaTen. The convenient Buddhist method of praying by writing tho petition on paper and attaching it to a Draver-wheel turn or! hv a ntronm of water is well known. Sotno recent improvements havo been made, however, which bid fair to work a revolution in religious worship, in Japan especially. Tho up-to-date person who desires to petition the throne of grace now fastens his prayer on tho front wheel of his bioyole and gayly scorches along. The faster he Sedals the greater the efficacy of is prayer. In some temples a single bicyole wheel has taken the place of the old, clumsy con trivance, and as it is mounted on ball bearings and has very little friction the Buddhist priests do a thriving business. In this case science and religion seem to go hand in hand. Chicago Tribune. Uncertainties and a Certainty. The attention of the public is now fully occupied and diverted in the consideration and discus sion of several important current and prospective happenings. An nexation, as yet unseoure, Re ciprocity threatened; the coming of the Naniwa, and her mission after arrival; the outcome of the war between Greeoe and Turkey and, whether or no, all Europe will eventually become involved; tho settlement of the qtarantino squabble aro all themes of much conjecture and uncertainty, and whilo opinions are freely offered, none can accurately foretell tho outcome of any of these matters. Nevertheless, it is becoming moro apparent, as each day passes, that Buffalo and Hoffbrau are tho favorite brews, and it is gratify ing that assurance is givon that regular shipments of these whole some and strengthening bever ages can be depended upon, and that thay will, as heretofore, bo dispensed at the Royal, Pacific and Cosmopolitan Saloons, and that tho interchangeable chock, system is an established fact. II Culttvutea Flower. R. J. Greene, caretaker of the Executive building grounds, has more than the average success in floriculture. In the yard behind his office on Miller street, ho has beds and boxes giving out now bloom every day. Hekeopstho "good and the great" within tho big building well supplied with bouquets on thoir dosks and bou tonmeres on thoir coats. Mr. Greene doesn't get mad at any body who asks for similar favors, but often gives flowers away with out the asking. He says they be long to the public The flowers he cultivates aro not for sale, neither are they in suoh supply as to interfere with the trde. "Only a pansy blossom," or tho liko, for any lover of flowers call ing round. Mr. Greene doesn't do it because ho has to, but bo cause he likes the work. A 0. J' ?
