Pettigrew then paid that the

overwhelming.
On the trip up from Hi!o a member of

a native official of the Government. He

lie refused absolutely to saj T anything
nbout Hawaii or 'he question o: annexa
ti< n.
But Mr. Dubois, acting for him, very
kindly furnished and signed an unan
swerable argument against annexation.
"Senator Petiisrew," he esp.amed, "ia
in the Senate now and purposes to discuss
this subject when Congress convents, so
he .;oe^ not wish to matte any state
ments beforehand through the news
papers; bnt I am no longer iv the Senate
ar.d I am free to express my opinion and
w.-at I know also to be his opin.on, for we
bi>iti addressed :\ ma«3-meeting of about
1000 native lljwaiians at Hiio during our
visit to the islands."
Following is ex-Bena|or Dib is' «tate
nient, prepared.exc:u-iv*Jy for The Call:
Senators I'ettigrew, Can.non and myself
Shi ed from Vancouver on August 2 last for
Japan, China and the Hawaiian Islands, so
that we have been absent about four months.
Wescarcly heard of United States affairs
during that time, aud as yet hitve httd no op-
P< riunity to catch up with current events at
home. In consequence we do not care to dis
■ :;em now
But the question of annexing the Hawaiian
Islands will soon be before Congre=i> and we
have ju-t come irom Hono uln.
We spent ten days on the islands, during
which time we were gome from one Dlace to
another and meeting all classes of people. We
had good opportunities to judge as to the
pubilties of the inlands, so far as production is
concerned, and also as to the wishes of the
people, so lar as annexation is concerned. '
The ngriculiural are.i is limited and about
the only articles of commerce that can be pro
■ . . ed to a.y extent n:e su?p.r and c. (fee.
The tropical I r nits of Hawaii— pineapples,
-, ritrs, bananas and cocoanuts — can
never b; ol much value for exportation to the
L':;it> au-eof the competition noi
only of other countries, but also of California,
Florida and otfter section* of our own country.
Coffee prodoctioa ii yet la its Infancy and
there is doubt as to how valuable the industry
will become. But granting ttia^ :ugar and coffee
cm r^oth be ra sed with a profit not a very great
Hinoumof either eau be produced because of
the small 9rea <>f suitable :and on the islands.
A lew individuals <vho own me ni^ar and
coffee plantatto s will prosper if tue indus
trieF pro.«p('r. Thai la all.
I migiit udii that the very Inree proportion
of sui;ar and coffee planters p.re not Americans. j
They are English, Scotch, G-rrruns, et ai. I
might add a. so that no Americans are em
ployed as laborers on tr.e plantations.
Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese do the
manual work. White men never have and
prob .biy .never can — or nt any rate never
will— do manual ! b>r in tropical climates.
There are 109.000 people on the isianls.
Of these only 3086 are Americans. There are
16,000 Japtaese^aud Chinese, about equally
divided. There are 15,000 Portuguese.
There are some 40,000 Hawaiian* and 'part
Hawaiian The balance, home 5000, are
Chiefly British a d Germnn.
.Nearly all the Hawalians at« opposed to
annexation, and earnestly, ainiou bitterly
opposed.; Nearly ail have-signed a remon
str. nee atainst it, which they have se^t to
Washington.
The Hauiiilans will have several of their
own representatives in Washington to present
their/ 6 irons objections whan -Congress con
venes. •
It is siiie to sny that a Rieat majority 01 the

The advantages surely should be exceed
ingly great and plain if our Government forces

into our system of politics, when the people
to be annexei most strenously object to be
comlng part of our governmental system.
These peop c are passive now because "of
their belief that the United Stales will be
!;i r a:id just to them.
If our Government will submit the question
to a vote of the Islanders there will be no
j troub c. Ajmost any kind of a vote will do
1 Cninete and Japanese could be excluded from
! voting on tl:e question, or none but white
! foreigners an<l Hawaiian* might be allowed to
i vote, or only Ha\valla.»s mi«ht be allowed to
r vote — it is their country that is being dls
! posed of, and ordtnatily they should have
j something lo say as to what Cisp^altion be
j made of it— or allow only white loreigners
I to vote.
Unless some such plan, he followed, some
j thing shewing a regard of some kind for the
j wishes and sentiments of the inhabitants of
j the Islands, constant trouble will fellow
| annexation, ami we will be compelled to keep
I an army and navy on the islands to maintain
! a Government we force on these people.
Ii it be left to a vote oi almost any sol t there
will be no annexation. For annexation
against the will of tne people. a?nlnst their
almost unanimous protest, would be an out
race iicamst nil our history and policy.
The islands would be a source of weakness
and worry lo the Tinted States. If the people
I there were willing to «ive up their country to
: as we could fair. y discuss the advantages or
I disadvantages of taking it, but when, ns in
I this case, we must utterly disregard the deep
est sentiments oi an entire«peopie aim force
j them to accept the civilization and forai of
government ttiai they resentful. y protest they
i do not want, what can the future promise but
j attempts to overthiow the government, thus
forced upon them ?
Our country has stood from the beginning
as the friend of those deserving to govern
themselves. The Hawaiian*, to say the least,
| have been fair, if not generous, to stranpers,
especial!; to Americans. Why not allow
j lhem, so far as ".ve are concerned, to work out
I their own destiny? We are trying to solve
I ours. We stand as the emboJiraent of liberty
between Europe amt Asia — between different
forms oi civilisation. We are the advocates
oi the doctrine ;hat all governments derive
their rights from the consent ot the gov
erned.
Is the gnin in this case sufficient to warrant
ns in abandoning the high ground we hnve
ahvavs maintained and should always main

These, I believe, are unanswerable argu

come to most ycung people who set out to
take lile as a matter of gayety and con

adventuresome one, and though only 18
years of ape she is now a prisoner in the
County Jail. iShe cries bitterly and .-ays
she never meant to do anything wrong.
But her tears avail her nothing.
Constable Irvine of Banger, arrested the

namul Cameron, who re-ides on the Kings
River oottom near Centeivilte, and he ac
cuses her of having borrowed a hortefrom
him and fa'ing to return it. • i
Mrs. Robb? first came into notoriety a
few month* ago, when she eloped from
Fresno with her husband's brother, Jrff
Eobbe. Later she returne-d to her luis
band. only to elope wiih the brother a sec
ond time. It was then that Cameron was
imposed upon. Jeff owned a carriage, bin
he did not have a bane and they needed
a conveyance in which to gnt out of town.
So Mrs. Robbe sent to Cameron for n
tleet-iooteu animal, and not knowing the
purpose, he gladly accommodated her.
But tie has never since aeon the animal.
Mr«. Robbe says tne norse is in a pas
ture in Tuoiumne County, and tearfully
promises to return it.

Correspondence of ThkCall.
HONOLULU, Nov. 27. — Advices re
ceived to-'iay from Japan stale that no
progress has been made in the - negotia
tions about the affair, owing
to the fact that Hawaii sticks inva
riably to the policy of procrastination,
in the hope, it is claimed, of transfer
ring the responsibility of paying the
compensation to the United States by
effecting tha proposed annexation. At
this juncture another difficulty hns
sprung up. A certain emigration com
pany in Honolulu has unlawfally appro
priated tne deposit money of the emi
grants, and Minister Shimamura at
tempted to bring the matter before a
tribunal. The company, greatly aston
ished at t tie attitude of the Minister,
threatened to disclose all the weaK points j
of Japan in tiie negotiations at issue j
should tin- Minister insist in carrying ou:
his p. an to me bitter end.
Under these circumstances the new
trouble is ai present in a state ot sus
pense. While matters stand in ll\\a wisy
in Hawaii, the relations of Japan wit):
the United States have become more
friendly, and the latter is inclined
to advis? the Hawaiian Government to j
pay the indemnity at once to Juiian if it
reaiiv desires the annexation o; Hawaii to
the United State*. Before lone, instruc
tion^ wi i be dispatcned u> that effect to
Minister Sewull at this place.
In fact, the Hawaiian Government may
b* induced to accept the proposal of the
Uniietl States and pay the damages, as a ;
Heavy expense wil: be incurred in leaving
the dispute to arbitration. Siiould thi-i
turn out to be a lact, me Hawaiian affair
will be settled earlier «han expected.
WASHING'ION Nov. 27— Tue officials
here know noti.in*: of any Intention on j
the part oi our Government to advise
Hawaii to pay immediate y lo Japan,
without wailing o;i arb tration, the sum
of money claimed by Japan on account of
the turning back from Honolulu oi Jap
anese laborers last spring.
On the contrary, the Department of
S;a c, it is said, has caretuiiy refrained
from interfering by suggestion or oiher
wi-t! between Japan and Hawaii iv the
settlement of the matter at i-sue, nnd
there i« no reason now to expect a change
oi course.
It is not understood here that the nam
log by Japan of the sum of f'JOO.OOO as the
claimed indemnity binds Hawaii to pay
that much. It is merely a maximum
limitation, willed the rules o 1 arbitration
requite to be placed on a ciaim wherever
possible. "' :. , .
Touching the . theory that the settle
ment of claims is b-ing purposely de
layed 'by -Hawaii in order to throw it
upon the United;-, States after annexa
tion slmll have ( become an accom
plished ; fact, it is 'said ■: that nothing
couid be pained by such a course, since
■ in- pending annexation treaty provides
in terms ihut the United States !>iia|l not
assume a liability of exceeding 54,000,000
on account of annexation, and it is under
stood there are already outstanding obli
gations to nearly that amount.
When shown the Honolulu dispatch
concerning the progress of the negotia
tions between Hawaii end Japan, Minis
ter Hatch of the former country to-nigh:
said that he had no advices confirmatory
of any part of it.
Headd'd that when he Jeft H*wnii.
very recently, the ' indications were favor
abie to the settlement of the dispute by
arbitration, and, he continued, "in
stead of Hawaii's seeking 10 post
pone the adjustment of the claim
until after the question c f annexation of
Hawaii to th& United States is settled the
opposite is 'rue. Hawaii is anxious
to present a clean siate to the
United Slate.-*, but sue cannot
of course, allow tier concern in that direc
tion to lure her into making concessions
regarding Japanese immigration in case
the annexation treaty should fail."

TORONTO, Okt., Nov. 27 —Sir Louis R.
Dav.es, at a me ting of Liberals here last
nigut, referred to his recent visit to Wash
ington to attend the teal conlerence. He
said :
"The seal experts settled the question
of fact in sucli a way tnat here
after it cannot be opened up. We
know exactly where we are. We
know that the seal herd Las
diminished in an extraordinary degree in
late years, but we know that pelaeic &ea -
ing has diminished more than t«e herd
by a far greater percentage. We know,
too, as a declaration of the exjernoi
both countries, that there is no immediate
danger of the extinction of lhe
herd and that the kind of pelagic sealing i
practiced by Canadian fish* mien does not I
imperil or threaten the existence of the j
herd, and we Know further that B8 a com
mercial venture it does not pay eiifapr
country. Tnat is about the sum and sub- .
stunce of the case. 1 '
Continuing, tjir Louis said it was pointed
out Iq the Americans ihat Canada b:d j
taken her stand in reference to his tariff; ,|
had proclaimed and given effect to a v>re- I
ferential trade arrangement, and that the j
representatives ecu d not enter into any
agreement which shoul i dirtctly or indi
rectly prejudice the people of preference.
Tr.ey were told tnat the rijrtit to catch
seals, being a national right, vindicated
by t lie great Paris tribunal as a legitimate
industry on the part of British subjoct-,
couh! not be disposed of for a mere
money consideration; that Canada d.d j
noc sell national rights ior money; but
that her representatives were willing that
it should t.-e treated as one of a number of
those lar^e qu-3-tionr, and put, as it
were, in the iio lge-po»ige in the settle
ment. If i he United tcates could see

NOT AFRAID OF LIONS.
Rev, Edwards Davis Him Been Secured
to Perform "The Sensation of
the Century."
After many days of trials, tribulations
and other things, a minister has been se
cured who is willing to perform the mar
riage ceremony in the lions' den at tne
Chutes, which is scheduled to take place
this afternoon. Those who are to be the
chief actors in what has been termed the
•'Sensation of the Century" are Miss
Minnie Ford and Isaac Benjamin, of
heavy lifting fame.
The .wedding has been. a matter lor
worry for the parties daring t. c last week,
as no minister could be found who was
willing to perform the cereniunv. as ttiev
stated it was unprofessional to "tie up"
people in a lions' den. However, Rev.
Edwards Davis of Oakland has given his
consent to do the necessary talking which
will make the parties one for ever and
ever, unless the courts get hold of them.
The services of ninny ministers were
sought and fairly srooii prices offered, bu;
no one would do the deed until Davis was
found. He consented to accomplish a
small matter like marrying a couDle in .i
lions' den if the t>rice given was suffi
ciently alluring,. and as that has been at
tended to he will officiate to-day.

Mr. Powell had two of the best number

was in excellent voice when he ri'oohel
the church, but a mos! curious cirenm
s:anc<! silenc< d his voice temnorar ly. Just
iis Mr. Powell stepped into the cl.urch
doorway a small gnat fiew into his nos ■
and caused him to sneeze vlo'etitlv, and
tiie sneeze brought on a severe cough,
which in turn rupture i one of the smail i
blood vessels near the voc il cord*. He
took his place in the choir, hut soon found
thai he could not utter a sound audible
rive feet away. Mr. Powell left the choir,
and Dr. L. C. Cline, who was in the au
dience, was summoned to attend him.
Mr. Powell's injury to his voice will not
prove serious. — Indianapolis Journal.

Hip Disease.
Little Girl the Victim— She Took a
Few Bottles of Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla and Was Cured. ,
"My little girl became afflicted with hip
disease when she was five years oil. She
wai confined to r her bed and for six or
seven weeks the doctor applied weights
to the affected limb. When she got up
was not able 10 walk across the floor.
She had lost all her strength, and day by
day she became thinner. One day I hap-
pened to receive one of Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla Calendar*, and on one of the -slips
was a testimonial telline of a cure of a
boy of a severe case of hip disease by
Hood's. Sarsaparilla. After Lillian . had
taken three bottles her appetite was ex-
cellent, and she looked quite well and was
very much strengthened. She ha* not ;
used her crutches for over eight months
and walks to school every day." ' ;

says : ." By reason of being on my feet most of the day, and because*
my duties compel me to be out in all kinds of weather, I now and thets
contract a cold, which used to result in disordering . my entire systen.W
However, I can say that during the past three years of ' service haver
not stayed away even for one day on account of sickness, beca'.. ::
Ripans Tabules have invariably helped and effectually cured me. I
take a Tabule whenever I feel a change in . the weather coming on,
and whenever I feel particularly weary and sore from my day's tramp.
One Tabule never fails to straighten me up and infuse new life into me.
I do not hesitate to recommend them to my brother letter-carriers
when they complain of the every-day sorts of ills, and I have never
known them to fail. I owe a debt of gratitude to Ripans Tabales.'
