MIKADO COSTHTUES TO PEOTEST. Bays That tbe Domiaatlon or tbe flitted States In the Islands I an Excellent Reason for Letting Things Stay as The) Are and Quotes Onr Position When the Situation Was "Another Story" Real Hawaiian Protest. Washington, July 2T. There was a treat crowd at the White House yester day larger than has been seen since the early days of the administration. It was the "charge of the forlorn bri gade." as one of the officials put it; the lart attempt of the office- seekers to get a word with the president btfere he leaves Washington for weeks. The most interesting figure, however, was Queen Liliuokalani, accompanied by Julius Palmer and Joe. Heleluli. She came to leave some papers for the president. These papers were memorials fnm the three great patriotic societies cf Hawaii, and white they were not made public it is understood that the memorialists represented themselves as be'ng opposed to any policy that touched the queen's sovereignty. Later in the day Liluu kalani herself had a short interview with the president, but what was said has not transpired. Japan's Reply to Serretary Sherman. Another matter that has awakened in terest in the proposed annexation of the Hawaiian islands is the redv rf the Japanese government to Secretary Sher man s last note in reply to the Japanese protest against annexation. This docu ment shows that the Jap la r.o "slouch" when it comes to a diplomatic contro versy and that Japan it well acquainted with American diplomatic historv. The Japanese reply shorn cf preliminaries, is as louows: "The imperial government has no hesitation in admitting the Dre- dominant influence of the United States ln.the Hawaiian Islands. In theiroptnion, however, the very fact that such pre dominance has existed fo long unques tioned might he urged as a reason against the disturbance of the status quo, mere especially as practically the whole population of Hawaii acknowl edge the paramount importance of the relations cf their country with the Unit ed Mates, while it is understccd that only a small fraction of their number favor annexation. Onr Predominance Guaranteed. "From thisit may be reasonably inferred that 'the predominant and paramount influence ef the United States,' which. as you remark, 'has been the one essen tial feature of the status quo through inree-quarters of a century, in which the constitution and government of Ha waii and the commerce of the islands with the world have undergone notable change?.' furnishes cn the one hand the amplest guarantee against anything m- iiio. ai io euner tne United States or to Hawaii, while cn the other hand it obviates the necessity of a change in ex isting conditions which will injuriously effect the interests cf others." The note then says that by apparent mutual con sent the western powers had ceased grabbing islands in the Pacific, but that If the United States should take Hawaii it would be the signal for a revival ot territorial expansion all along the line. Jl OTES OXK OF Ot R PREMIERS. In a Csse tt here I'ncle Kara Had Heroine. I'owessrd of Rights. The note then proceeds: "It can eas'lv le seen how this would affect the irter. ests cf Japanese subjects who are now engagrd In increasing numbers in va rious undertakings and enterr.rii ir, the Pacific, with profit to themselves and advantage to Japan. It was es pecially on account of the prevalence cf this spirit cf colonial absorption that one cf your honorable predecessor was led to declare to the Oerman government that" your government attached great impr mnce to the 'maintenance of righta to which the United -Slates has become entitled in the few remaining regions now under independent and autonomous native governments in the Pm-ific ccean.' , 'The iustioe of that (tecl.iri inn te questioned and the imperial govern ment, en'ertqining similar views, could not lithcld with indifference changes in the status of those piivpmmfnio ,hQ, would extinguish Japanese rights. They nave no intention I questioning the act ual existing situation in the Pacific and certainly no desire to in any wise dis turb tt. nut their position in that part of the world renders it impossible for them to vi'w with unconcern and in a spirit of acquiescence the consequences which would probably follow the extinction of Hawaiian sovereignty. "The imperial eovemmrrt rnrm.ni.et it as a well-established rirircini r.r in. ternational law that the completion of annexation would render the treattesand conventions at present existing between Japan rd Hawaii voidahle. either at the option cf Japan or the United States, out mey cnnr.ci anticipate without ap prehension the consequences, whether direct or Indirect 'which vmiH en. the praotU al consummation of the theory mat annexation, ipso racto. means the immediate termination of those treaties and conventions and the consequent ces sation for the future cf the privileges granted thereunder. QIESTION OF INTERPRETATION. Raised as to -t esteil Righta" Japan's Quarrel with Hawaii. Referring, to the quotation from "one of your honorable predecessors" the Japanese note proceeds: "Without pausing to consider the analogy in many particulars between the principle thus announced by the United States in lsSS and that now maintained by Japan, 1 have the honor to state that if the United States government attacn to the expression 'vested rights' the same significance given in Mr. yard's not t'. th term 'well es'ablisned rights' the imperial government would have Irrtle: to complain ef undr this head. But the absolute extinction cf Jipan s treaties anj convocations without even E0C3 ISLAUD, ILLw TUESDAY. JULY tne formality ot previous notice creates a very different situation', . not alone by removing conventional privileges and exemptions, but also by substitut ing therefor new and - burdensome changes.' . "In that case, the application of Unit ed States custom laws to Hawaii would check the further development of Japanese trade, the extension of United States naturalization and Immigration laws would be detrimental, to the fu ture residential and industrial rights of Japanesasubjects and the enforcement of United States navigation laws, making; the carrying trade between this coun try and Hawaii a part of the coasting trade, would probably prove fatal to the interests of Japanese steamship lines crossing the Pacific to the United States. "With reference to the third point set forth in my note of the 19th ultimo, I have the honor to observe that the Im perial government" has large un liquidated claims against Hawaii for what it deems tl be clear end deliberate violations of the treaty. Regarding the inherent justice of these claims the imperial government enter tains no doubt whatever, and bearing in mind the clear provisions of inter national law it cannot admit that any alteration in the Hawaiian status would in the least tend to relieve Hawaii of liability. "It might easily happen, however, that the change in the place of negotia tions consequent upon the consumma tion of the proposed project of annexa tion would tend to delay an adjustment that ought not tn it- should signally fail in the duty which has been intrusted to me if I did not add that this full and fra nlc Hhlono. tion of the views of the imperial gov ernment is due not alone ti thir .i.h to protect the interests confided to their- care, uue aiso to ineir sincere desire to remove all possible cause for misunder standing between thegovernment of the United States and themselves. i "I should also add that 1 h.n re ceived with great pleasure your courte ous acknowledgment of the disclaimer I had the honor to make o: behalf of my government In regard-to the false report that Japan has designs against Hawaii. I regret to sav. however tht similar reports are constantly appear ing, even in the reputable section of the American press. and.couDled with bane. less or distorted accountsof occurrences in japan and Hawaii, are now, I am credibly informed, being urged in re sponsible quarters as a uretext for im mediate actions upon the treaty of an nexation. "Therefore. I have the honor t.i r- peat that Japan has absolutely no de signs of any kind wnatever inimical to Hawaii, and no motive in her dealings with that country except to secure by legitimate means ihe due observance of Just obligations."
