Tulophono Polos and Tramcnro.

In connection with recent acci-dents to passengers on tho stroetcars caused by the daugorous tolo-phon- o

posts near Waikiki, and alsoat Palama, Acting Manager Gilbertpublishes tho following explantiou.Ho has also takon tho necessarysteps to request the assistance of thogovernment in having tho posts re-m- o

vod:

1. The lines were laid in accord-ance with tno directions of the Bu-reau of Public Works.

2. For several years (up to thotime that tho telephone posts woreeracted) the position selected for thorails proved safe and convenient.

3. Somo two or throe yoars agothe telephono posts were erected intbeir praont position, and have ever,since boon a menace to lifo nnd limb.. 4. At tho time those posts wero be-ing erected the manager of the tram-way company pointed out to thomanager of tho telephone companythe danger likely to ariao from thoclose proximity of the post, but hiswarning was unheeded.

5. When in May last an accidentoccurod, owing to this cause, thodanger was again urged by tho tram-way company upon Iho tolephonocompany. But again no notice wastaken of the warning.

In view of theEO facts the tram-way company donies all liability inrespect of such accidents, and holdstbat it is the duty of the telephonocompany to remove its posts to asafe distance.

Tho Sandwich Islanda AnnexedThe first step has been taken by

the Uuitod States Government to-ward incorporating Hawaii in theUnion. A Treaty of Aunoxation haBbeen pigned botwt-e- n tho UnitedStates and tho Hawaiian ProvisionalGovernment, by which tho islandswill constitute a "territory," but noprovision is mado in it for an in-demnity to Queon Liliuokalani andtho members of tho Royal Family.Tho public debt will, of courso, botakon over. Tho troaty will requireratiOcation by the Senate, andstrenuous opposition is anticipated,but tho votes will probably bo post-poned until tho next session. Thincommencement of a colonial polioyis regarded with apprehension inconservative quarters. Tho Hawai-ian they aro better known as thoSandwich Islands aro a group ofthirteen" in tho Northern PacifioOcean, of which eight aro inhabited.Tho population of 109,000 includes"about 23,000 whites of European orAmerican descent. Honolulu, thecapital, has about 28,000. Theseislands wore discovered by CaptainCook in 1778, and tho next yearCook was killed on Hawaii. Thonamo Sandwich was takon from thatof the then Earl of Sandwich, whowas a Lord of tho Admiralty. Chris-tianity was introduced in 1820, andan English bishopric formed in 18G1,It became a republic in 1891. Lon-don Ohriitian World.

Responsibilities Incurred by theAnnotation of Hawaii.

If tho United States is to aunexHawaii and there seems now eyoryprobability that this will bo donethe Government must bo preparedto accept tbo responsibilities whichtho new acquisition will entail. Nottho least of these necessities is amuch larger navy, to bo ready toprotect tho annexed territory in casoof noed,

Our Washington correspondent, inhis spooial diipatch by CommercialCable says that tho Navy Depart montofficials aro fully convinced tbat thisviaw of tho question, which was tug-goste- d

by tho Horald, is correct.The Government is evidently pre-parod to go to any lengths that aronooessary, and our correspondentiulimatos that Congress will bo ask-ed to appropriate money for theconstruction of battleships andtorpedo-boat- s on the Pacific coast.No trouble with Japan is anticipat-ed but tho country must bo readyfor all eventualities.

MIBUNDEK3 LANDINGS.

It is natural I tint in a small com-munity liko Honolulu, misuudor-otandiu- gs

will arise from time totime even among friendo, but it is" apleasing trait in tho character ofour people that all are anxious tocorrect supposed errors aud to dis-pel any feelings of dissatisfactionor ill-wi- ll erroneously created.

Our Hawaiian friends yesterdayfelt deeply hurt because thoir bandwas not assigned an activo positionin tho funeral procession of tho latoBritish Consul-Genera- l. For somenyiteriouB reasous they laid theblamo for this alleged slight on thoboulders of tho Hawaiian Govern-

ment, and more especially on Colo-nel Fisher.

That gentleman was seen thismorning and stated that neither henor any othor official of tho llepub-li- o

had any responsibility in regardto the maaagomont of tho funeralof Mr. Hawes. The gentlemen hav-ia-g

charge simply asked tho Gov-ernment for an escort, which waswillingly furnished, tho authoritiesalso .Bonding the Governmentalband, and polioo officers besides thohighest official! attending in a body,

Vice-Cons- Walker stated thismorning that ho regrottod that anyatisunderstandins should have arisenon this sad occasion. Tho friendsof Mr. Hawes, ho said, desired thefunoral to bo as eimplo as possible.The prosenco of the military bandawore simply the outcome of the de-sire on tho part of tho different au-thorities to give a military funeralto tho late Consul.

Any one knowing tho British Vico-Consu- l,and uoarly all Hawaiians

do, must know that Hawaii has nostaunchor friend thau he, and thatno ono regrets tho misapprehensionand misunderstandings in connec-tion with tho Hawes funeral moredeeply thau ho aud his friends,

Tho misunderstandings were prob-ably due to the ovor sensitiviuuss ofsome of our Hawaiian friends; fool-ing- s

that, undo; present circum-stances Consul Walkor can appre-ciate aud forgivo. Tho Hawaiiansare now fully aware of the inno-cence of all parties in tho unpleas-ant mattor, and tho inoideut isforgotten,

TOPICS 01' THE DAY,

Tho Hawaiians aud thoir friondBopposed to sacrificing the independ-ence of tho country ought to rallynow aud enter, a solemn protestagainst tho unwarranted actions ofthe unscrupulous adventurers whohave stolon thoio islands. There isno time to loso. ,

May wo suggest to Fop-Cor- n audthe other annexationists that a judi-cial investment be made in spirit-uous liquors prior to tho arrival ofSenator Morgan. If tuoy try thogentleman of Alabama on lemonadeand bananas, Hawaii will novor boannoxed. Lot him have straightpuro okolehao. The fact that thosale and manufacture of it are con-trary to law will mako it moro pala-table to tho Alabama senator.

Damon returned thismorning, and the business commu-nity heaved a doep sigh of rnliof.Somehow or othor tho dear pooplefool that thoir welfare is bettor

when Sammy is around, audseveral prominent capitalists havodelayed their last gasp during hisabsence, waiting for some ous will-ing to inherit them. Sammy is nowhere, however, nud Theocioro Lan-sing, will probably be obliged lostep down aud -- out. Wo say, wel-come homo to Mr. Damon not an anofficial, but as a friend who thopeople of Hawaii cannot spare evenfor a brief vacation, and wo aro all-rig- ht

glad to seo plain Mr. Damonlooking happy and healthy andhoartily cheered upon his arrival.

Tho Now Admiral.Tnn Independent wolcomes Ad-

miral Miller to Hawaii. The Ad-miral will find several old friendshero who have stood shoulder toshoulder with him in days gone by.Tho following is n description of thuAdmiral aud his staff:

Admiral Miller is a native ofSpringfield, O. Ho was not quito15 years of ago whon he entered thoNaval Academy in October, 1851, asan aotivo midshipman. He wasgraduated with honors in June,1851, after serving two yearn on thofrigate Independence in tho Pacific,he was promoted to passed midship-man in Novomber, 185G, his twen-tieth birthday. Ho saw some stirringservice on tho Florida Coast duringthe exciting times of tho war andwas aboard when tho brig capturedtho privateor Savannah. Tho Ad-miral bnlongs to tho old school oflino officers and has many goodqualities as an officer that make himloved by tho officor aud men underhim.

Accompanying him on his triparo Lioutonant T. S. Rodgors, hisflair lioutonant, and LioutonantPhilip Andrews, his flag secretary.Tho former belongs to ono of tholargest families of naval men overidentified with the Unitod StatesNavy. His fathor was Admiral C.It. P, Rodgors, and ono of his unolesis Captain Jack Rodgers, captain pftho Light House Board at NowYork. Lieutenant-Command- er Raymond itougers is his brother and healso has a cousin who holds a posi-tion as Lieutenant in the service.

Under tho Hawaiian Flag.

At 9 o'clock this morning thesteamship China arrived from SanFrancisco in the natty time of 5days and 21 hours. She brought intho cabin and saloon the followingdistinguished passengers for Hono-lulu: Roar-Admir- al Miller, ColonelGoo. W Maofarlano, Hon. S. M.Damon, Lieut. Phillip Andrews andLieut. T. S. Rodgors.

At Kaumakapili Churchovoniug another free concert

that tho last ono wasalmost a phonomonal success, and

ovoniug's porformanoowill probably rival its predecessor.

SENATORS TO COM 13.

Morgan and Quay to Study UpAnnexation In Hawaii.

New York, August 1. A dispatchfrom Atlantic City says that SenatorMatt Quay, informally acting ai theagout for tho Committee on ForeignRelations' will mako a personl visitto Hawaii to make thorough studyof tho country aud its advantagesaud disadvantages. Ho will mako aroport upon tho reconvening of Con-gress in December, upon tho foasibi-- 'iity and advisability of confirmingthe treaty of annexation.

Senator Quay will leave AugUBt12th, and aftor a three weeks' fishingtrip, will go dir.oot to San Franciscoaud sail to Hawaii. Ho wil roturnas soon as possible aud submit thereport of his observations to theForeign Relations Committee.

Senator Morgan will also leaveSeptember 1st for Hawaii as a Rep-resentative of tho Foreign RelationsCommittee. He will be absent tillDecember. Senator Morgan's re-port will be looked forward to withgroat interest by public moii, andhis statement, it is safe to say, willbo n strong appoal for annexation.

It will do much to makos the an-nexing of tho Hawaiiau islands acertainty.

THE LATEST MOVE.

Japan Wants tho Unitod Statoo to5ct ns Guarantee in tho Arbi-

tration

(Sjicclnl DUint;h to tlio Chronicle )New York, Aug. 4. A special to

tho Herald from Washington says:Japan will insist that tho UnitedStatos assume n enntiugont'responsi-bilit- y

in tho matter of the arbitra-tion of her differences with Hawaiion the subject of immigration andthe tariff.

It is uudorstood that this is ouoof tho esioutial conditions uponwhich Japan will consent to arbi-tration, and that if this responsi-bility is not assumed by tho UnitedStates Japan will break off nego-tiations looking to arbitration andback up her demands by a navaldemoustratiou in Hawaiian waters,

Tbe State Department has notyet received any official communi-cation from the Japanese Govern-mon- t

on this matter and tho Admin-istration hat not indicated whetheror uot it will comply with tho Japa-nese demand when made.

An official of the Japanese Legatiou said in an interview: "I am notofficially informed concerning thelimits of arbitration, but that Japanshould ask tho United Statos to takerecognition of it and assume an ulti-mate responsibility for tho decisionsof the arbitor as regards Hawaiiboing carried out, Beems to be verynatural.

"If tho United States refuses togive us a guarauteo it is probablethat tho arbitration proposition willfail. We prefer to entertain agriovauoe and tolndemnify our sub-jects ourselves than to arbitrateafter tho indignity of the refusal bytho United States of so just a re-quest. Neither tho United Statesnor the Hawaiiaus can justly ploaddisiutorestoduess. Frequently intho Hawaiian-Japanes- e correspon-dence of lato tho ponding annexation has hgurod as a factor in thesituation. This orperatea the arbi-tration case as well."

Washington, Aug. 4. In tho lastHawaiiau mail to reach tho StatoDopartmonl, bringing the record ofovonts on tho islands up to tho 21stof last month, MiniBtor Sewall tellsin dotail of tho diplomatic corre-spondence betwoou Japan and theHawaiian Government growing outof tho labor controversy, and roportsthat in the opinion of tho best in-formed people on tho islands thoJapuuoso Govorumont will be amplycoulout with a recognition by thoHawaiiaus of tho principle forwhich thoy contend, without in-sisting upon substantial pecuniarydamages, It was also reported thattho conduct of tho negotiations hadboon transferred entirely from Ho-nolulu to Tokio. No referencewhatovor was made in the dispatchesto the -- reported intention to estab-lish a protectorate.

The Proposed Chango in TreatiesOn ada's Resolutions Declarodto Indicato a Dosire for KvouCloser llolationn With Britain.

Special Dispatch to tho Chronicle

London, August 4 The Secretaryof Stato for tho Colonics Mr. Cham-berlain, answering a question in theHouse of CommoiiB to day on thosubject of tho denunciation of thotreaties with Germany and Belgium,said tho denunciation was tho un-animous wish of thecolonies, who desired to deal withthe United Kingdom on prefer-ential terms.

Mr. Chamberlain added that atthe conferonco betwoon tho ColonialPromiers and himself a resolutionwas passed unanimously, in sub-stance boiug that the Premiers ofthe" colonies hoartilyrecommended tho oarliest denuncia-tion of the treaties, and this was accompanied by an important andsignificant resolution, namely thatin tho hopo of improving the traderelations between tho mothor coun-try and tho colonies, the Premierspresent undertook to ooufor withtheir colleagues as to what resultcould bo secured by a preferencegiven by tho colonies to tho pro-ducts of tho United Kingdom.

On receipt of tho results of theioconference1', Mr. Chamberlain fur-ther explained, Hor Majesty's Gov-ernment resolved immediately towithdraw the treaties with Germanyaud Belgium.

Tho Secretary of State for thoColonies said also that tho law off-icials of the Crown were now con-sidering tho question whether theresolution of the Canadian Parlia-ment infringed these treaties. ThoCanadian Government, Mr. Cham-berlain said, has asked to bo allowedto be ropreRonted before the lawofficers of jtho Crown. This was un-usual, but the request of the Gov-ernment of Canada had beongranted.

In conclusion, Mr. Chamborlain as-sured tho House that the action ofCanada in this matter, was not aatop toward separation, but distinct-ly a movemout against separation,tho intention being to show grati-tud- o

and to prove tho loyalty of thocolonies.

HONOLULU FAKES.

The Reply to Scare AonexationlstYarns from This City ThatEotirdsloo Bad Annexed Hawaii.

Washington, Aug. 3. It is declar-od positivoly at tho State Depart-ment that there has boon no changein the instruotionB givou eithor toMinister Sewall or to AdmiralBeardslee touching their attitudetoward tho Hawaiiau question. TheAdmiral's instructions woro to pro-to- ct

American interests at all points,and to establish a protectorate onlyin tho ovent of serious disturbanceor the commission of some overt act.It is not understood that the execu-tion of this order was at all depend-ent upon tho aotiou or non-actio- nof Congress upon the annexationtreaty.

At the Navy Department it wassaid that Admiral Beardsloo's ordercontemplated a landing iu emergencies to preserve the status quo,and tho lauding iu that case willnot bo for a longer poriod of timethan was nonessary to restore conditions to thoir former shape.

It was Br id that as President Mc-Kinl-had referred tho whole mat-

ter to Cougross along with tho an-nexation treaty, it would uot bocourteous to that body for theExecutive to act now unless Cou-gre- ss

had expressed its will. It wasfurther said that there was no truthiu the story that thebattleship Oregon was under ordersto sail for Honolulu.

It was stated at tho State Depart-ment that no special commissionerhas boon sent to Hawaii by Presi-dent MoKiuJoy, as is stated in a SanFrauoisoo dispatch, aud that anyperson roprosouting himsolf as suchhas no authority to do so.

IDIOCY OF FRENCH JURORS.

Acquitted n Woman of n FiendishMurdor and are Mobbed.

Human stupidity could hardlygo further than that displayed bytho jury at tho Assizos in Epinal.One of the prisonors was a womanproved guilty of the most fiendishcruelty toward her child, whomfinally she killed by throwing itdown a flight of stairs. The torturosshe had inflicted upon tho infantwere so diabolical that no doubtwas entertained about hpr convic-tion. But no.

The jurymon of thn Vosges areevidently oppononU of capital punishment and returned a negativeanswer to all the questions proposedby tho Procurour, with the resultthat tho prisonor was acquitted.The public was so indignant thatthe jury was mnbbod and only savedfrom a ducking by tho gendarmes,while the liberated woman was halfkilled beforo tho police protectedhor by reimptisoning her. AlbertBattaillo adduces this fresh instanceof the astounding idiocy displayedby juries upon occasion as a goodreason for tke entire reorganizationof trial by jury. Paris Letter, N. Y.Herald.

Annoxition of Hawaii.

While we in England aro bendingall our onorgios to the celebration oftho glorious anniversary of Tuesdaynest, an event of tho utmost im-portance is proceeding in the othercontineut. Tho projected annex-ation of Hawaii by the Governmentof tho United State?, which is nowall but an accomplished fact,caunotbe without results of tho most

character, not only to thoUnited States but to tho world atlarge. No American Governmenthas ever beforo sought to take aplace as a colonising power amongthe kingdoms of the world. Thonorthern continent has hitherto con-tented itself with the assortion oftho Monroe doctrine, which holdsthat no Eastern Power can bo allow-ed to acquire fresh territory upontho maiuland of America, and, apartfrom its longing look towardsCanada, tho Government of thoUnited States has never betrayedany symptoms of the land-grabbin- gfevor. Of course it must be admit-ted that tho United States has everyright to take such precautions as itthinkB necessary to protect itscoasts, and we have no reason to ob-ject. The greatest of the Americannaval strategists so far as English-men know, the only one CaptainMahan, has deolared that Hawaii isthe key of the Pacific, and com-mands the American seaboard onthat side. And in this state ofaffairs what Power has more interestin the command of tho Americanseaboard than the United States?Japan has protested, but her pro-test is littlo likely to be pressed toan issue. It is stated this morningthat the President's friends are dis-appointed became ho does not, infeoommonding the annexation, giveany "great arguments of State." The"political consoionce of the nation,"it is said, will not otherwise be satis-fied. We have scarcely such anopinion of tho political consciencein question. Wo prefer the Presi-dent's attitude, It is more honest.He sees that America wnnta Hawaii,and ho is in favor of taking it.

Evening Neivs, London.

Tho United States and Hawaii.

It is probable that tho people oftho United States are about to makea new departure-- iu national policyand to begin to annex. Tho Presi-dent if) understood to bo in favourof allowing Hawaii to enter the Uni-on as a "territory." Certainly noobjection will bo made by this coun-try, and if Japan has objections thoyare are not likely to bu prossed. Thepeople of Hawaii aro auxioua for thoprotection of America; and unlesstho Senate prefers to stand by thoold tradition which onforces the wis-dom of avoiding all such occasionsfor foreign complications as distantcolonies afford, tho annexation islikoly to bo speedily accomplished.-T- he Tablet.

Rudyord Kipling Wrkos AnotherPoom

The London Times publishes fivestanzas by Rudyard Kipling,

Tho first stanzais as follows:

God of our fathers, known of oldLord of our far-flun- g battlo line

Beneath whoso awful hand wo holdDominion over palm and pine;

Lorli God of hosts, bo with us jot,Lost we forget, lest wo forgot.

Describing the cessation of thejubileo festivities, tho poom con-tinue:Lo, all our pomp of yesterday,

Is one with Nineveh and Tyre;Judge of tho nations, spare us yet,-Le- st

we forget, lest wo forgat.

Then, as a warning against idleboasting, the final stanza rends:For heathen hoart that puts hor

trust,Tn reeking tube and irons hard,

All valiant dust that builds on dust,And guarding calU not thee to

Ruard;For frantic boast and foolish word

This mercy on thy people,Lord, amen.

NEW STORIES RETOLD.Certain members of the Chamber of

Commerce were discussing the abilityof Germans to drink beer, and one ofthem offered to wager that any Teu-ton out of a crowd at work on a build-ing near, by could drink a gallon oflager without stopping. The party ap-proached a sturdy-lookin- g stone ma-son, and tho sporting man asked:"Will you drink a bucketful of beerif I pay forlt?" The mason, thoughta minute. "Veil, I drink it "if I can.I don't know,tliough,. if I can. Youwait a minute." He disappeared intoFort street, but returned a mo-ment later, smiling. "All right," hesaid, "I vas ready." They went intoan adjoining saloon nnd the. Teutondrang the gallon of lager without awink. Coming back to his mallet andchisel, ho said: "I vas not suro if Icould drink a pall of beer or not, soI vent into Tho Criterion and tried aglass of Italner first."

The English governess of AlfonsoXIII., King of Spain, is responsiblefor this story about her royal charge:His Majesty evinced ono day atluncheon a decided preferonco forfingers in place of forkes. After hehad ofTendod several timos in thisway his govorness roraoustratedgently, "Sire, Kings do not eat withtheir fingers." "This King doesl"came tho gleeful reply.
