Thurston, R. W. Wilcox, J. Nawahi, 3. K. Tosepa and J.

Of this proposed committee one, the first named, is white; one, Wilcox, the leader of the previous revolution, is half white,and the other three aro natives. This committee was not eat- infactory to some of the asxembiymen, as is shown by the reports of the debates the next day. Representative Smith voiced this doubt of the proposed committee's ability to do the thing wanted: “Mr. R. W. Wilcox would go to Warh- ington, see Cleveland and then he and his old friend Moreno would pull wires. It was of little use to send Iosepa, for his opinton had already been published in the Examiner.

He had proclaimed his sister regent, and a few energetic spirits like R. W. Wilcox wanted him out of the way and his 6: ter placed on the throne. But it didn’t amount to much. ‘The king liked to go calling on other kings {and he was fond of coming to the United | States. He died in San Francisco in January, 1891. and his body was taken to Honolulu on the flagship Charleston, in great state.

During that year the total imports of the islands were valued at $7, 459,452.05. of which 71.16 per cent, or @5,2%,- 278.57, were imported from the United States. Great Britain in the same year sold the islands @1,201,329.43 worth of goods, or 16.15 per cent of the total imports.

Those Who Led in the Recent Revolution, Sanford Ballard Dole, who has been declared temporary president, was born in Honolulu of American parents in 1841. His father and | mother were missionaries and landed in Hono- Juin in 1840 after a long journey from Maine. Mr. Dole received his early education at the Pubahou College and there chose the profes- sion of the law. His father was in moderate circumstances and he earned enough money himself to seud himself to college in America. He entered Williams College at the age of twenty-two and took the general course for a year. Then he entered the law office of Wm. Brig- bam of Boston and continued his studies there, attending the different sessions of the courts. After a year's study he was admitted to fhe bar and soon after this returned tothe Sand- wich Islands. He was admitted at once to the bar of the Hawaiian kingdom. He then practiced his profession as a lawye: ‘until 1837, wher preme berch of the kingdom. Tied in 1873 to Miss Anna P.Cate of Massachu- setts. During his residence in the islands he has been an interested observer of political events and in 1864 became a member of the legisiatare. ‘Two years later he was returned to the legis- lature. He took a prominent part in the reform movement which culminated in the revolution of 1887, and was a member of the executive committee of the Hawaiian legislature, and re- strained much rash action advocated by its other memberz. L, A. Thurston is the grandson of the Rev. | Asa Thurston, who went from Fitchburg. Mass., to the Sandwich Islands in 1819 as a missionary. Mr. Thurston has been closely identitied with the best interests of the island kingdom for many years and took # prevainent part iu the | rev itions in 1887 and 1ss9. ‘At one time ho was in the cabinet of King | Kalakaua.

The native race of Hawaii, which is certainly superior to any of the native races of the Pacific islands, is rapidly decreas- ing. Liquor and the low state of social moral- ity explain this decrease. AREA OF THE INHABITED ISLANDS. The total area of the inhabited islands of the Hawaiian group is 6,640 square miles. Tho area of Hawaii—the largest—is 4,210 square miles, The capitafeity has » population of 20,487. The natives of the islands afe closely related in blood to the Maoris of New Zealand. ‘The islands are tos it extent mountainous and volcanic, but the soil, as has been in- timated, is very fertile. Besides sugar and rice, the staple products, coffee, hides, bananas and 3. ‘The islands have direct steamer communica- tion with this country, Australasia and China.

Another thing which induces the Americans to favor annexation is the wretched condition of tho national finances. Hawaii's finances are in | better condition than during the reign of King | Kalakaua, but they are still bad enough. The | Bational debt is $2,500,000, and the assessable | | value of property in ali the islands is estimated | ‘at $10,000,000, or about jwo-thirds of its actual value. ‘The debt bears fitterest at 5 per cent. It ia said that if annexation comes about real | estate will advance.at least 30 per cent. AN ATTEMPTED REVOLUTION. For more than ayear there have been con- stant stories about crises in the Hawaiian gov- ernment. Every steamer from Honolulu has brought the tale that the kingdom was on the verge of an outbreak. About the middle of May last there waa an incipient revolution. Just about the time it was to break out Admiral | Brown landed 325 men from the San Francisco for « short drill and the revolution ended. Marshal Wilson arrested about two dozen of the conspirators, among whom was Wilcox, the ex-base bail player, who was taid to be tho leading spirit of the insurrection. Wilson i ‘Tahitian and is known as “King Bolabola.” There were trials in which it was impossible to convict any one of treason. Then an elec- tion was ordered. It was enid that there would be war. The army had been increased to 200, and everything seemed ready for a blood: struggle. But there was no war. A new mii istry came into power on November 9 last, and it was said that there was joy and happiness in Hawaii. Then came frequent stories that the queen was on the verge of death. But sho has lived long enough to be dethroned. +s THE MOHICAN SAILS, Admirai Skerritt Sails on His Flagship for Honolulu, The United States flagship Mohican, with Admiral Skerritt aboard, left Mare Island navy yard at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. She ar- rived off San Francisco in the afternoon and proceeded direct to sea on her way to Honolulu. For several months there have not been so much bustle and activity at the Mare Island navy yard as shown since the news was received announcing the overthrow of the monarcbical government at Hawaii. ‘The various heads of the departments were ordered to report im- mediately at the commandant’s office and | orders were issued to them to have the flagsh: Mohican and the cruiser Ranger ready to stew away from the yard at once and the Adams to be ready within forty-eight hours. Carts were | at once set to ‘work landing coal for the two former ships, and as fast as received at the wharf it was taken aboard in baskets and stored in the bunkers. Provisions were sent out from the store rooms and every available man was set to work where he could be most useful. Since the news from Hawaii was received there has also been marked activity in complet- ing preparations for sending the new const de- fense vessel Monterey to the Mare Island navy yard. She is now at the Union iron works at Ban Francisco, but will go to the navy yard to- day to receive her stores and ammunition and to be otherwise fitted for vea. A force of 150 men were working on the Monterey all Satur- day right, and state they received notice that the vessel must be completed by 4 o'clock to- ry T. Scott, president of the Union works, in response to a question the hurry for the completion of the Monterey, said: “The trouble in the Sandwich Islands has nothing to do with the matter. The Monterey is practi- cali fniabed as far a8 the Union iron are concerned, #0 phed the Navy. t "yesterday. ‘Vessel will be trans- to the Mare Island officials Monday morning.
