THE HERALD
A POLITE
PROTEST
Against the Annexation of
Hawaii
DIPLOMATIC WAR IS CERTAIN
MORE SERIOUS BATTLING NOT
IMPOSSIBLE
Japan Does Not Want the Islands,
But Does Want Her Treaty
Bights Observed
Associated Press Special Wire.
NEW YORK. July 26.—A special to
the Herald says that Japan will con
tinue to oppose the Hawaiian annexa
tion treaty is conclusively shown by the
latest protest of the Japanese govern
ment, under date of July 10, which is
now made public for the first time.
While couched in polite and diplomat
ic language, the protest Is sufficiently
firm in tone to show that Japan will
continue to wage a diplomatic war, and
possibly go further, to prevent the con
summation of the annexation policy.
Japan's reply in part is as follows:
"LEGATION OF JAPAN. Washing
ton. Sir; Replying to your note of
date the 25th ult., in answer to mine cf
the 19th ult., regarding the proposed an
nexation of the Hawaiian islands to the
United States. I have the honor to in
form you that I communicated in sub
stance to Count Okuma, from whom I
am in receipt of telegraphic Instruc
tions embodying the views of the im
perial government in relation thereto.
"Taking note of what you say in re
ply to the presentation. I have the honor
to make on behalf of my government
with reference to the necessity of main
taining the status quo of Hawaii, the
imperial government has no hesitation
in admitting the predominant influence
of the United States in the Hawaiian
islands.
"In their opinion, however, the very
fact that predominance has existed so
long unquestioned might be urged as a
reason against the disturbance of the
status quo, more especially as practi
cally the whole population of Hawai:
acknowledge the paramount importance
tf the relations of their countty with the
United States, while it is understood
that only a small fraction of that num
ber favor annexation.
"From this it may be reasonably in
ferred that the predominant and para
mount influence of the United- States,
which, as you remark, 'has been the one
essential feature of the status quo
through three-quarters of a century. In
which the constitution and government
of Hawaii and the commt-roe of the
inlands with the world have undergone
notable changes,' furnishes on the one
hand the amplest guarantee against
nnythlng inimical to either the United
States or Hawaii, while on the other
hand it obviates the necessity of a
change In existing conditions, which will
injuriously affect the interests of others.
"The policy of colonial expansion
among European countries was espe
cially active on the Pacific during the
decad.e ending 1892, and- as a result near
ly all the island groups then autono
mous have passed under the sway of va
rious western powers. By common ac
cord the powers have recently appeared
willing to stay their hands, and interna
tional rivalry and conflicting inerests
are now the best guarantees for the con
tinued) sovereign existence of the few re
maining island groups. Yet the ab
sorption by the United States of such an
important part of the few remaining
unappropriated regions a* Hawaii would
doubtless be the signal for the renewal
of dormant territorial ambition in the
Pacific, and the last vestige of native au
tonomy would, disappear.
"It can easily be seen how this would
affect the interests of Japanese subjects
who are now engaging in increasing
numbers in various undertakings and
enterprises in the Pacific, with profit to
themselves and advantage to Japan. It
was precisely on account of the preva
lence of this spirit of colonial absorp
tion that one of your honorable pre
decessors was led. to declare to the Ger
man government that your government
attached great importance to the "main
tenance of the rights to which the United
States becomes entitled In the few re
maining regions now under Independent
and autonomous native governments In
the Pacific ocean.'
"The justice of that declaration cannot
be questioned, and the imperial govern
ment, entertaining similar views, could,
not behold with indifference such
changes in the status of those govern
ments that would extinguish Japanese
rights.
"They have no intention of question
ing the actual situation in the Pacific,
and certainly no desire to In any way
disturb it; but their position in that part
of the world renders it impossible for
them to view with unconcern and in a
spirit of acquiescence the consequences
which would probably follow the extinc
tion of the Hawaiian sovereignty.
The imperial government recognizes
It as a well established principle of in
ternational law that the completion of
annexation would render the treaties
and conventions at present existing be
tween Japan and Hawaii voidable, eith
er at the option of Japan or the United
States; but they cannot anticipate with
out apprehension the consequences,
whether direct or indirect, which woul.l
follow the practical consummation of
the theory that annexation Ipso facto
means the immediate- termination of
those treaties and conventions and the
consequent cessation' for the future of
the privileges granted thereunder.
Under the circumstances only the
most cursory view of the actual situa
tion is required to show the disadvan
tageous position in which Japan would
be placed by the abrupt termination of
her treaties and by the consequent ab
sence of satisfactory conventional stip
LOS ANGELES, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 27, J897
ulations for the protection of her rights
and the interests of her people.
The sphere of Japan's expanding ac
tivities is In the Pacific. Her trade with
Hawaii is Important, and nearly 25,000
Japanese subjects are now residing
there. Her commerce with the United
States and Canada Is constantly increas
ing. In Mexico and Central America,
Japanese immigrants are welcomed and
trade Is springing into existence.
The- importance to Japan of the stable
and well recognized commercial, resi
dential and industrial status which her
subjects have gained In Hawaii is con
sequently evident. The growth and
growth and prosperity of the Interests
I have enumerated depend in no small
measure upon It, and hence it must be
acknowledged that the concern with
which the Japanese government feels !n«
the maintenance in the rights that un
derlie the welfare of Japanese subjects
in Hawaii and the prosperity of Japan
ese commerce in the Pacific is both legit
imate and commendable.
In the note under reply you intimate
"that vested rights if any be abolished."
Japan or Japanese subjects in Hawaii
"will be respected." As germane to this
branch of the subject I have- the honor
to call your attention to a note addressed
on' March 4, 1896, by your honorable
predecessor, Mr. Bayard, to Mr. Yon
Albense-lben.. the German minister to the
United States, In'reply to the official an-
nouncement of the protectorate estab
lished by Germany over certain island
groups in the Pacific.
Referring to the declaration made on
behalf of tht ; German government, "that
well established' rights of third parties"
were to be respected, Mr. Bayard replies
that in this absence of precise know ledge
as to the meaning Intended to be given
to the term "well established rights" he
believed that he Interpreted! it rightly
as a declaration that American citizens
who already had established or might es
tablish thereafter themselves on the Is
land In questic-n in peaceful accord with
the natives and on a footing of perfect
equality with settlers of German and
other nationality would not be disturbed
in their rights of residence-or otherwise
discriminated against as compared with
German subjects by reason of the es.
i'ablishmer.t of a German prot-ectorate.
Without pausing to consider (he anal
ogy in many essential places between
the principle thus anr.qur.ced by the
United States in-1886 and that row main
tained by Japan. I have the honor to state
tihat if the United States government
attach to the expression "ve-s'ed rights"
the same rights govern in Mr. Bayard l ',?
note, the term "well established'rights."
tihe imperial government wouldi have lit
tle to complain of under this. head.
But the absolute extinction of Japan's
treaties and convemtions- without even
the formality of previous notice creates
a very different situation, not alone by
removing convertional privileges and
exemptions' but also by substituting
therefor new and burdensome charger.
In that case the application of the
United States customs laws to Hawaii
would check the further development of
Japanese tradt:-, the extenslo-n of United
States i-ai'urallzation and immigration
laws would he detrimental to the fu
ture residential and Industrial'rights of

I the carrying trade between this country
j and Hawaii a part of the coasting trade,
i would- probably prove fatal to t-he inter
ests> of Japanese steamship lines crossing
! the Pacific.
I should signally fail in the duty which
j has been intrusted to me if I did not add
| that this full and frank explanation of
I the views of the imperial government Is
due. not alone to their wish to protect
the interests confided to their care, but
also to their deEire to remove all possi
ble cause for misunderstanding between
the government of the United States and
themselves. I should also add that I
have received with great pleasure your
courteous acknowledgment of the dis
claimer I had the honor to make on be
half of my government in regard to the
false report that Japan has designs
against Hawaii.
I regret to say, however, that similar
reports constantly appearing, even in
the reputable section of the American
press, are coupled with baseless or dis
torted accounts of occurrences in Japan
and Hawaii, and are now, I am credibly
informed, being urged in responsible
quarters as a pretext for immediate ac
tion upon the treaty of annexation.
Therefore I have the honor to repeat
that Japan has absolutely no designs of
any kind whatever inimical to Hawaii,
and no motive in her dealings with that
country except to secure by legitimate
means the due observance of Just obli
gations.
(Signed.) TORU HOSHI.
ENGLISH COMMENT
LONDON, July 27.—The Dally Chron
icle says, with reference to the question
of the annexation of Hawaii by the
United States: In the present state of
public feeling in the United States, Ja
pan's dignified protest might as well be
addressed to the falls of Niagara.
BAD BACHELDER
Leaves Two Widows to Fight for His
Estate
SANTA ROSA, July 26.—Two widows
appeared in Judge Burnett's court this
afternoon, each striving for the- estate
of Joseph Bacheider, a Guerneville cap
italist. Bacheider came from Wisconsin
many years ago and settled in Guerne
ville, where he soon afterward married
a woman who then became known as
Mrs. Louisa Bacheider. They had ' a
number of children. After Bachelder's
death Mrs. Louisa applied for letters of
administration, but when she came into
court was coiwfronted by Mrs. Susan
Bacheider, who claimed to be a Wiscon
sin wife of Bacheider. She claimed that
no divorce had ever been applied for.
The Wisconsin wife secured the first vic
tory, the court granting letters of ad
ministration to her.
Now the Guerneville widow is at
tempting to secure a portion of the es
tate on account of having served as
housekeeper for Bacheider for many
years. Much property is involved and a
formidable array of legal talent has been
employed on each side. Bacheider had
one child by his Wisconsin wife.

Today's Meeting; Is Hoped to Accom

Are Not Brilliant
Associated Press Special Wire.
PITTSBURG. Pa , July 26.—The min
ing situation In this district is quiet and
urchanged. Both sides are waiting for
the result of the. meeting tomorrow of
the operators. The arbitrators- are
highly pleased at the prospects. All
agree in saying that it will be the largest
meeting of operators- ever held In this
district AH of the western men are
here ar/di the eastern people will arrive
in the morning. Hotel lobbies are
meeting places tonight for the operators
already here, and! the strike question is
being well discussed. While a large
number are not in favor of the old uni
formity plan, all are anxious to hear
what new phase the peace commission
ers have given the subject. Some are
decidedly opposed to uniformity, but all
are in favor of arbitration for the settle
ment of the strike. The board Is busy
completing the contract, which is to be
presented to the meeting tomorrow at
the couit house. No one can, at this
time, predict the outcome of tbe con
ference, which is expected to last two ami
perhaps three diays.
Miners' officials Dolan and Warner
have assured the sheriff that the strlkets
had no intention of marching on the
mines of the New York & Cleveland Gas
Coal company. President Dolan said't
was not intended to lose the sympathy
uf the people by any ill-ad'visfd display
of force.
Talis afternoon Rufus C. Crawford,
owner of the Bunola m-ines, went into
court and s.-cured a preliminary Injunc
tion restraining the miners' officials' at
Dillon from interfering with the worker
ec-r.grega ting about the mines. The hear
ing was' set for Saturday. President
Dolan- says the. miners' officials would
not attempt to flf.ht the Injunction. They
were not hunting trouble, he said, and
mould itot deliberately violate the law.
The- sheriff of Westmorland county has
been called on for deputies to protect the
miners at the. Rortraver mines at Web
ster. The Webster company proposes to
start with the nor-union. miners tomor
row or Wednesday.
Jueiging by the- present state of the
local market a famine in fuel is not
likely to occur, even though the strike
should last several months longer.
WHEELING, W. Va., July 26.—The
indications are that tomorrow's confer
ence of labor leaders, made up of exec
utive officers of the various organiza
tions centered unclcr the American fed
eration of labor, will be largely attended.
Among today's arrivals are E. V. Debi.
head of the social de mocracy; Vice pres
ident Rea of the painters and. decorat
ors; President Mahon of the street car
workers, and President Samuel Gorn
pers of the federation of labor, and Pres
ident Ratchford of the mine workers,
the last two coming in on late trains.
President Sovereign of the Knights ot
Labor will arrive from Washington In
the morning.
Eugene V. Debs made his appearance
in Wheeling this afternoon and was met
by a large crowd at the railroad-station.
Tonight he addressed a meeting in this
city. The efforts to secure the public
building square for the meeting failed
and the meeting took place a square
away.
In speaking of the sltuaiton in the
Fairmont fields Debs said he en
couraged. A number of men Joined the
strikers on Sunday and others are ex
pected to follow. He said the- efforts of
the organizers would have been more,
successful, but for the fact that the op
erators, as he claimed-, prevented their
men from attending the meetings. Prac
tical slavery, he said, exists in the Fair
mont mining regions.
FAILURE AT FAIRMONT
FAIRMONT. W. Va., July 26.—Today
the great break among the miners fail
ed to take place. Debs and. Mahone have
gone to Wheeling and are not expected
to return. All depend* on the action o£
the executive board of the labor organ
izations at Wheeling tomorrow. This
morning A. T. Hutchinson and Luther
Joined the strikers, but as the four Wat
son mines still stand solid, the movement
has been a failure.
Senator Camden said Saturday night
that he wanted to see rain all day Sun
day to keep the enthusiasm down, but
the boiling sun yesterday had the same
effect, as men who work under ground
cannot stand heat.
So far as Fairmont district is concern- ,
ed the strike is a failure.
Before leaving Fairmount tonight
Debs said: "I have tried to make the
Fairmount miners appreciate the situ
ation. The poor fellows do appreciate
it in a great measure, but they are In
timidated by the operators. They have
been locked in the mines, discharged
for attending meetings and threatened
like slaves. They know It, and. feel pow
erless to prevent it. All depends upon
the Wheeling conference. The operators
win now, but they are sowing the wind
to reap the whirlwind. When the worm
turns he becomes a maniac, and! mani
acs destroy opposition."
Senator Camden said today: "During
the past few days the agitators have
been given full swing. They have used
every effort to get the men out and
failed. During that time we have been
put to an endless expense and. worry.
The efforts of the agitators have proved
futile. Our men want to work, and we
propose to do some fighting now and pro

condition of the miners, for they have
forcedl down prices under competition,
which has driven them- to it. The report
calls attention to the fact that no law
lessness exists' and- that there are no

ing some kind of reasonable relief for
striking miners and their families.

PORT TOWNSEND, July 26.—The
steamer Olty o£ Topeka arrived from
Alaska this morning with advices to the
effect that the Clondyke fever was on
the increase in Juneau. Authentic re
ports from Dyea say that as much
freight is already piled up at the head of
the inlet as the Indiana can pack over
ihe divide in the-next eighteen months,
and this amount of freight will be dou
bled 1 when the steamersQueenand Mex
ico arrive. This practically precludes
the possibility of hundreds of gold seek
ers reaching the mines this year.
Frank F. Myers, a Juneau neiwispapei
man, will follow the route taken by
Lieut. Schwatka andi party in 1889, from
Takcnu inlet, thirty miles south of Juneau
over level ground 130 miles to Lake Tes
lin. This, route is. said by those who have
been aver both to be more easily accessi
ble than over the Chileat pass. It improb
able that a stagie line will soon be oper
ated over this route.
John G. Brady having taken the, oath
of office is now Alaska's governor. <
THE REPORT DOUBTED
SEATTLE, Wash., July 28.—The re
port sent out from Port Towneend that
there was already a blockade of freight
at Dyea is not believed here, nor can It
be confirmed. Only one steamer, the Al
Xl, had landed freight and passengers
at Dyeu at the time the Topeka, which,
arrived! here this morning, left Juneau.
Therefore It is not possible that there
can be a very great crush at Dyea. Re
ports received here indllcate that proa
pectors are having no trouble. However,
when the loads of the Queen and the
Mexico, which have already sailed and'
of the Islander and the Rosalie, which
sail on the 28th and 31st respectively,
arrive at Sheep Camp, there will un
doubtedly be some delay, but horses are
now being shipped, to Dyea from Seattle
by hundreds. They will he used for
packing over the divide and will much
expedite the carrying of outfits. A large
pack train is already operating.
The Topeka brings no news from the
north other than what has been pub
lished. A passenger from Juneau said
the people of that city are flocking to
the Clondyke by every possible route.
The new trail over the mountains, which
Is 1100 feet lower than the old paos, has
been, finished and; will be used in taking
cattle over the summit destined! for
Dawson City. The impression prevails
that bhere Is to be a scarcity of provi
sions in the new camp.
Those who have an idea that cold
weather prevails exclusively In Alaska
will be surprised, to know that Archie
Burns, a mirier, was affected by sun
stroke while crossing the pass from
Dyea. He recovered and proceeded after
two days' rest. He endorsed the Chil
koot pass above all others as a cattle
route. His own stock, nine cattle and
two horses, were taken from salt water
to Lake Llnderman in less than twenty
hours. The route is, however, unsuit
able for sheep, as there is too much deep,
swift water.
The first mail for the Yukon valley
under the new contract left Juneau July
13 in charge of F. W. Hoyt. It consisted
of 1683 letters, being an accumulation
from last April.
The report up to last week of tonnage
of provisions which has gone into the
Yukor. country by the overland route
was 5000, and in addition to this thers
are about 5000 tore of live stock.
The following steamers will leave Se
attle for Dyea and Skagaway Bay with
in the next thirty days: City of Topeka,
July 28; Islander (from Victoria), July
28; Rosalie, July 31; Al Xi, August 2;
Willamette, August 3; Queen, August 7;
Mexico, August 9; Topeka, August 12;
Rosalie. August 13.
The Alaska Searchlight publishes a
letter from William Moore at Fourteen-
Mile camp, Skagwa, Alaska, stating
that the White pass pack trail to the
summit of the pass was opened for travel
July 16th. On reaching the summit the
.traveler steps upon an almost level
country, the grade to the lakes being
twenty feet to the mile. The distance
from salt water to tho Too-Chl lake is
thirty miles, and from salt water to the
head of Lake Bennett the distance la
thirty-live miles. Both routes from the
summit are through rolling country for
the most part open, with plenty of grass
for feeding stock, water and sufficient
• timber for all purposes. From salt water
i to the summit <stock and pack horses can
I be driven through easily.
A MILITARY POST
WASHINGTON, July 26.—The secre
tary of war Is considering a proposition
that has been made to him to establish
a military post in Alaska. The govern
ment has no troops in that vast terri
tory, and In view of the heavy immigra
tion there and the possible danger to
life ar.d property from lawless charac
ters he has been urged to create an Alas
kan military post. The commercial in
terests of the territory are at the bottom
of the movement, and have requested
that a company of infantry and' a gat
ling gun brigade be located at some
point to be christened Post Alger, near
the new boundary line, about 260 miles
from Clondyke and 2200 miles above the
mouth of the Yukon river. This body of
troops is ae'ked for to support the civil
authorities in the administration, of law
and for the protection of vested rights.
The president and Secretary Alger
have decided to detail an army officer
