I consider it the most wonderful medicine of the age. I cheerfully recommend its use to all persons afflicted with dis- ene.” ‘The terrible experience of Mr. Grant and his re- markable cure by Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy shows that this wonderful medicine ts what the sick require to cure them. The fact that it cured him is positive proof that it will cure others. It is purely vegetable and harmless. It bas the largest sale of any remedy at drug- gists’, everybody buying it, doubtless because they know it will cure and becanse physicians prescribe and recommend it so generally. What gives the people absolute confidence in it is the fact that it is discovery and prescription of a well-known physician, Dr. Greene of 35 W. 14th strect, New York, the most successful specialist im curing ner- Yous and chronic diseases. ‘The Doctor cam be con- sulted without charge im any and all cases, per- sonally or by letter.

Fashion a Economy Both Approve Black Clothing. An Easy Way of Home-Dyeing—Cot- ton, Wool, Silk and Feathers Read- ily Colored a Handsome Black—Use It ts only within the last few years that it has been possible for an imexperienced person to dye @ black that would not crock, fade or wash out. Even mill-dyed black goods were rarely absolutely fast. The advent of three diamond dye fast blacks— for wool, for cotton and for silk and feathers— bas changed all this. Now, with a ten-cent pack- age of one of these dyes, the first trial gives per- fect success. The directions on the packages are so plain and simple that even a child can get Detter results tham the experienced dyer could a few years ago. ‘The enormous quantity of these fast black dia- mond dyes sold every year shows how popular they are apd what perfect satisfaction they give. Some of the larger wholesale druggists order 5,000 packages at one time, and even then they soon have to order fresh supplies. The prevailing fashion for black stockings, gowns and cloaks is undoubtedly re- sponsible for some of this large sale, but the fact that anything can be colored witb diamond dyes a black that will not crock or fade explains their almost universal use. The ecenomy of these dyes is shown by the fact that @ package of the fast stocking black for cot- ton will dye five pairs of cottom stockings a rich black: a package of the fust black for silk and feathers will dye ten feathers a glossy color, ard a package of the fast black for wool will dye from one to two pounds of woolen goods. ‘The peculiar way in which the diamond dye fast blacks are made gives them a great supvr- fority over all other methods of home dyeing. There are some forty other colors of diamond | dyes, each of which is thoroughly reliable and as | superior to imitations as sunlight is to moonlight. Nervous Debility, once hardly known as s distinct subject of medi- cal treatment, bas developed to an alarming ex- tent im the present age. The restless feverish burry of American life, the influence of which ts felt even ip the most remote districts, affords corditions peculiarly favorable for the development of this distressing afMfiiction. Among the symptoms are a dull, distressed mind, a partial deafness or ringing in the ears, often erroneously attributed to colds; occasional dimness of sight; a tired list- less feeling at times when one should feel most Tefreshed, as upon rising in the morning. Other common symptoms are a love of solitude, a prone- ness to melancholy thoughts; inordinate bashful- Ress; nervousness; sudden twitching of the mus- cles im the neck and other parts of the body; pain and weakness in the loins and back. If not check- ed im time, the entire nervous system becomes de- tanged, its delicate machinery refuses to act, and the result is mental imbectility, insanity, death in life, a fate more horrible tham any form of death. But if taken in hand in time, its progress can be stayed, and if not too far advanced, its ravages can be repaired.

Events have chased Much of the interesting history has found each other rapidly in the little ex-kingdom. |1ts way into the documents which have | been pzinted for the State Department in connection with Mr, Blount’s Hawaiian re- | port. Prof. W. D. Alexander furnished to | Mr. Blount a readable account, dated at | Honolulu July 18 last, of the circumstances | attending the uncompleted treaty of an-| nexatiom negotiated in 1854 between D. L. | | Gregg, representing the United States, and R, C. Wyllie, representing the Hawaiian king. | “The subject of annexation to the United | States," says Prof. Alexander, “was first seriously considered in the islands in 1851. | M. Em. Perrin had been sent to Honolulu |a@s commissioner of France, in the corvette | Serteuse, which arrived at Honolulu De- cember 15, 1850, and remained in port three |months without exchanging salutes with | the fort. He persisted in pressing again the | famous ten demands, presented by Admiral De Tromelin in 1849, and his attitude was so menacing that the king and privy coun- cil were finally driven to seek protection from the United States. As is stated in my ‘Brief History of the Hawaiian People,’ p. | 270, they passed a proclamation, March 10, 1851, placing tne islands provisionally under the protection of the United States. On the next day a conditional deed of cession of the kingdom to the United States was drawn up, signed and delivered in a sealed envelope to Hon. L. Severance, the com- | missioner of the United States, by two of | the king’s ministers. This was to be open- ed and acted upon only in case of an emer- gency, the signal of which was to be the raising of the g of the United States above that of Hawail over the fort. In that case the sovereignty of the islands was to be ceded to the United States, to be held in trust until a settlement of their relations with France, ‘compatible with the king's rights as an independent sovereign,’ could be made, and if this should be found to be impracticable the said protectorate was to be declared perpetual. “The U. 8. 8. Vandalia, Capt. Gardner, was in port at the time. The deed of ces- sion was accepted by Mr. Severance pro- visionally, and referred to his government. Mr. W. C. Park, the marshal, was directed to have the Hawaiian and American flags sewed together, and kept in readiness to be hoisted at a moment's notice. He remained in the fort night and day, on the watch, during the 15th and 16th of March. By some means, the British consul gene-al learned of what had been done, and inform- ed M. Perrin, who thereupon withdrew the most obnoxious of his demands; and a joint declaration, comprising four articles, was signed by both parties March 25. “It appears, however, that M. Perrin used language in his later dispatches which threatened to reopen questions that had been supposed to be closed. An appeal to the President of the United States was therefore drawn up and presented to Mr. Severance, which was taken to Washington by Hon. E. H. Allen, then United States consul, who sailed on this mission April 4. M. Perrin left for Paris May 24 to obtain fresh instructions, d did not return until | January 8, 1853. Nothing more was ever | heard of the rest of the ten demands. Mr. Webster, the United States Secretary of State made strong representations to the French government on the subject, but di- rected Mr. Severance to return to the Ha- waiian government the deed of cession, which had been placed in his keeping. “A joint resolution was passed by both houses of the Hawaiian legislature June 21, 1851, confirming the action of the privy council, and empowering the king and privy council to place the kingdom under the pro- tection of some friendly power, if necessary, “to shield it from insult and oppression.” “In the following year, in framing the new constitution, a clause was inse-ted in article 39, which empowered the king, by and with the approval of his cabinet and privy council, to even alienate his kingdom ‘if indispensable to free it from the insult and oppression of any foreign power.’ This shows that the apprehension of some im- pending danger w: still present to the minds of the king and his advisers. The Political Agitation of 1853. During the years 1851-54 a considerable immigration from California took place. It embraced many restless, ambi- tious spirits, some of whom came for the purpose of exciting revolution. | They found the foreign community alxeady split into factions, between which bitter feuds existed of long standing. Many of the newcomers naturally joined the opposi- tion party, which claimed to be the liberal and progressive element in the country. ‘The plan of the leaders of the new move- ment seems to have been to reconstruct the government, and then tg turn it over to the J States, A secret committee of thir- piece appointed to carry out their de- signs. Their first object was to bring about the removal of two of the ministers, viz.: Messrs. Armstrong and Judd. The unsuc- cessful attempt to make political capital out of the smallpox epideinic of 1833 was dis- graceful to all engaged in it. At the same time an active agitation was commenced fn favor of annexation, and the two ob- noxious ministers pry accused of being an le in the way of it. olrhreats were freely used to intimidate the king and chiefs into dismissing them. In August a memorial in favor of annexa- tion was presented to the king, which was signed by seventeen respectable residents, who were supporters of the cabinet. This called out a card, published September 10, signed by Revs. E. W. Clark and P. J. Gu- lick, declaring that “the Protestant mis- sionaries at the islands have never engaged in any scheme of annexation. It has been their cherished wish that the government may remain independent under the present constitution and rulers. Whatever may have been done by merchants, planters,and others, the Protestant clergymen at the islands have neither advised nor signed any memorial to the king touching annexa- tion.” In a letter published in August, 1864, Mr. Clark stated that at the annual convocation in May, 1853, he had frequent conversations with other missionaries on this engrossing subject. ‘‘Not one of them expressed an opinion in {ts favor, but, on the contrary, they did express doubts as to its expediency, and grave apprehensions of disaster to the natives from the influx of lawless and unprincipled foreigners."" With | this agreed the known views of the French | Catholic priests. ‘The memorial created no little excite- ment among the British and French resi- dents. The representatives of Gregt Britain and France solicited an audience’with the king and privy council, which was granted September 1, when they presented a joint address to the king, protesting against any attempt to annex the Islands to any for- eign power as in contravention of existing treaties, as well as unconstitutional. This was replied to in an able dispatch addressed to the minister of foreign affairs by the United States commissioner, September 3. A few days later the whole cabinet re- signed, but were ail reappointed, with the exception of Dr. Judd, who was succeeded by Hon. E. H. Allen, whose appointment gave general satisfaction, and caused no change in the policy of the cabinet. The result was a virtual defeat of the schemes of the “thirteen.” Growth of Annexat Sentiment. Hon. L. Severance, the United States { commissioner, returned to the United States in December, 1853, and was succeeded by Hon. D. L. Gregg of Llinois, who arrived in Honolulu January 6, 1854. Meanwhile the sentiment in favor of annexation seems to have been growing In strength. here were strong commercial reasons in its fa- | vor. Three-fourths of the business was |in the hands of Americans. and the chief | Pacific coast of the United States. The [hope of it stimulated speculation, and led ‘to new enterprises, some of which were | afterwards abandoned. | The fearful decrease of the native popula- | tion (several thousands of whom had been | ; any extent. overhanging the feeble government dis- heartened many true friends of the nation and led them to favor the preliminary steps then taken toward annexation. ‘The ob- jections of the missionaries to that measure have already been stated. They feared that the rights of the natives might be trampied upon and their interests sacrificed. A new and liberal constitution had just been | adopted (in 1852) and they fondly hoped that the natives would soon learn how to use their newly granted lands and po- litieal rights. The ministry, a whole, favored annex- ation, but Mr. Wylie acquiesced im it un- willingly, and only as a last resort in the case of an emergency. During the two following reigns he developed a decided antipathy to American influence and Amer- ican ideas. The king, however, strongly favored annexation. He had long been harassed by the threats of foreign powers; he had once been dethroned by a British naval force; he had repeatedly been com- pelled to make humiliating concessions at the.cannon’s mouth; he had recently seen his fort dismantled and his beautiful yacht carried off, and his difficulties with France still remained unsettled. At the same time he was kept in a state of alarm by rumors of filibusters from abroad and threats of conspirators at home to overturn his gov- ernment. He was deeply grateful for the constant and generous friendship of the United States, and for the benefits which his people had received from American citizens. Beside, he had reason to expect for himself and his chiefs a sum equal to the revenue of his kingddom and for his people all the rights of a free state in the Union. As far as is known, most of the high chiefs agreed with him. The heir apparent, Prince Alexander Liholiho, how- ever, was at heart opposed to the treaty, and interposed every possible delay to its completion. It is said that he and his brother, Lot Kamehameha, never forgave some incivility which they had _ experi- enced on account of their color when trav- eling in America. He was also moved by a laudable pride of country, a natural de- sire to reign and a partiality to England and her institutions. The mass of the na- | tive population was never consulted, and was indifferent on the subject. Race an- tagonism had not yet been developed to A newspaper in the Hawaiian language, called the Nuhou, edited by a Mr. Marsh, was started in February, 1834, to prepare the native mind for annexation, and was continued for six months. An- other memorial on the subject, numerousiy signed, was presented to the king in Janu- ary, 1854. It is singular that hardly an al- jusion to the subject can be found in the Honolulu papers of the time, and none in any of the official reports of the minister of foreign affairs. Negotiation of the Treaty. “In February, 1854, the matter took a more definite shape. On the 6th of that month, in view of danger from fillbusters and conspirators, the king commanded Mr. Wylie to ascertain on what terms a treaty of annexation could be negotiated to be used as a safeguard to meet any sudden danger that might arise. Every proposition was to be considered by the cabinet and Prince Liholiho, and the treaty a8 a whole | was to be submitted to his majesty for his approval, modification, or rejection. “The negotiations were carried on between Mr. Wylie and Mr. Gregg with the utmost secrecy. At the second meeting, February ll, Mr. Gregg agreed to proceed with @ ne- gotiation ad referendum, and wrote to the United States Secretary of State for in- structions. “A basis for negotiations, framed by Judge Lee and approved by the king and his min- isters, was afterward presented to Mr. Gregg, guaranteeing to Hawaiian subjects all the rights of American citizens, providing for the admission of the Hawalian Islands as a state into the Union, for a due com- pensation to the king and chiefs, and a lib- | eral sum for the support of schools. The amount of compensation to be asked for ad been referred to a committee, who rec- ommended that a lump sum, viz., $300,000, be distributed in the form of annuities by the king and his council. At their sixth meeting, June 1, Mr. Gregg stated that he had received full powers and instruction: from his own government. At Mr. Wyllie’ request he then proceeded to draft an out- line of the treaty. He was furnished with detailed statements of the property owned by the Hawaiian government and of the salaries paid by it. An interval of two months followed, during which the treaty made very little progress. “The two principal difficulties were, first, the objection of the Hawaiian authorities to a territorial form of government, and, secondly, the question as to the amount of the annuities to be paid, the Hawalian gov- ernment insisting on $300,000 as a sine qua non, One article provided for the payment of $75,000 per annum for ten years for ed- ucational purposes, one-third of which was to be capitalized for the support of a college or university. Procrastination. “On the 18th of September Gen. Miller, the consul general of Great Britain, had an audience of the king, when he delivered a tirade of more than an hour in length against annexation and in denunciation of the government and people of the United States. He read in full an article in the New York Tribune to show that the de- signs of the United States were unfriendly to Hawaiian interests. The king in his reply said that he much preferred that such communications should be made fn writing, in order to prevent misunderstand- ings. *Neanwhile the Crown Prince Alexander remained at Hawali to avoid signing thé treaty. Weary of the delay, Mr. Gregg wrote, September 12, compluiniag of the procrastination and threatening to with: draw from further negotiations ani to de- clare those which had already taken place to be at an end. The prince was sent for, but did not come. Mr. Gregg wrote again November 1, remonstrating against further delay in the conclusion of the treaty. He used the following language: ‘The strong arm of the United States has been solicited for your protection. It has been kindly ex- tended and held out until at length self- respect must soon dictate its withdrawal.’ This was regarded as a menace and gave much offense. The U. 8. 8. Portsmouth, Capt. Dornin, and the St. Mary's, Capt. Bailey, were in fact detained in port dur- ing the fall of 1854, awaiting the result of the negotiations. The United States frigates Susquehannah and Mississippi also called on their way home from Japan, in the lat- ter part of October, 1854, and remained a week off the port of Honolulu. It would seem that an attempt was now made to intimidate the king into signing the treaty at ence. Mr. Wyllie afterwards stated that on the h of November he was informed that there was danger of a revolution; “that there were dangerous men from Caiifornia,well armed, | who insisted on the king's immediate sanc- tion of annexation to the United States, without waiting for the arrival of the explained. The only way 1 can account for ;and of 500 men from the French frigate | iy it is that there was a royalist rising | Artemise. imminent | Failure of the Treaty. He further improved the opportunity to declare that “negotiations should be sus- |pended until they could be honorably re- sumed after every trace of coercion had | been removed.” (See his letter of Novem- | | ber 26, to Judge Lee.) On the 13th of De- cember he issued a proclamation in the King’s name, declaring that his majesty | had accepted the assistance of the three | | powers named above, and that his “inde- | pendence was more firmly established than | | ever before.” This called out from Mr. Gregg |a dispatch denying that the United States | had any intention of entering into any trip- jartite protectorate of the king’s govern- ; ment, or that his and Capt. Dornin’s offers should be taken as equivalent to a perma- | nent guaranty of its independence. The expected filibusters never appeared. The Crown Prince Alexander Liholiho ar- rived at last from Hawaii December 1, and | it is stated on good authority that he agreed to sign the treaty and that a day was set for the ceremony. The king is said by Mrs. Judd to have been “more eager than ever’ to complete | the business, when he was suddenly taken | | ill, and expired in five or six davs, on the | 15th of December, 1854, in the forty-second year of his age. His untimely death was {undoubtedly hastened by excessive intem- Perance toward the last. Aside from this unfortunate failing he had many noble traits. As Mr. Severance truly said, “his partial- ity to Americans has always been strong, and it will be universally conceded that by | his death they have lost a faithful and hon- orable friend.” His adopted son and heir, Alexander Li- |holiho, was immediately proclaimed king, |under the title of Kamehameha IV. Soon | afterward he expressed his wish that the negotiations that had been begun with Mr. ial should be broken off, which was | done. As Mr. Marcy afterward stated, in his \letter to Mr. Gregg of January 31, 1855, the | President would never have approved of a treaty admitting the islands into the Union as a state, to say nothing of other objec- tions of minor importance. In fact, the whole movement, as we now lock back upon it, seems to have been premature and un-/| necessary. But, as I have elsewhere said of Kamehameha III, “bis purpose, though it happily fell through, yet imsured w wis succeesor a more secure possession of their inheritance.” a ABLE TO STAND BY ITSELF. An Old Resident in Hawaii Talks of the Provisional Government. In conversation with the representative of the United Press yesterday George B. | Dole, a resident of Riverside, Cal., and | brother to President Dole of Hawali, gave | opinions very frank as to recent events. on |the Hawaiian Islands and their possible | outcome, | “It is, of course, impossible to predict the outcome at Hawaii,” said Mr. Dole. | “We cannot tell what news the steamer |May bring, but there is one thing certain: | If the United States does not force the provisional government out of power it | will stay where it is. it has a large | armed force—enough for a small country— and will be fully able to hold its own |4gainst any attempts of the royalists to regain power. it is impossible for the |queen to recover the throne without help Irom outside. hven if the United States | says the queen shall rule again the pro- | visional government will not give up. It} will only yield if armed force is landed, ,and will never surrender its present posi- tion to moral suasion, |, "2 do not believe it is true,” he con- |tinued, “that the United States naval |forces precipitated the downfall of the queen. Facts as they come to me are | Quite different from the version of Com- missioner Blount. The simple truth is that the revolution had sained such head- Way that the American residents were with reason alarmed and asked to have |the marines landed for protection, and | this was done.” || “Do you think that there is any possi- | that any other foreign nau say | interfere now” was asked. | “Weil,” said Mr. Dole, “there is just one chance. It is possible that if members of the provisional government become con- vinced that the United States will resort |to force, they might tender the country to England and ask that the English min- \ister raise the British flag. “Whether .the English minister would j accept the offer is a little doubtful. You | know, of course, that fifty years ago England and France entered into'a mu- | tual treaty by which each agreed never to annex Hawaii. Possibly, however, if the Islands were offered and England wanted them she would not let that treaty pre- vent her taking possession.

This decision is of special im- portance, as the legislatures of several of the states have recently passed laws pro- hibiting the further use in cars of stove heaters. + © The town of Luchan, recently shaken by earthquake, had a population of between 20,000 and 25,000 persons. and it is thought that at least 1,000 perished.
