THE FALLEN STATE OF MRS, DOMINIS Feeling Among Natives as to An- nexation. A TOWN OF TELEPHONES —_—_+—_— Correspondence of The Evening Star. HONOLULU, March 7, 1895. An illustrative incident of the times here was the other day an auction sale of a number of large old carriages. They were in a dusty, faded condition, with ragged, moth-eaten linings. In their day they had been grand state carriages of successive Hawaiian sovereigns. They were all of English make, heavy in spoke, -hub, tire and springs. The coachman’s seat was high and separate from the body of the coach. One cculd remember former grand state occasions, such as the proroguing of the legislature, when the king was driven over from the palace with his staff in two or three such coaches, with gold-laced coachme:. and footmen, in much bravery of silk stockings and protuberant calves—mili- tary drawn up, roll of drums and noise of band. Great was the past glory of Hawaii- an royalty. Sic transit. Only one of the clumsy coaches remained in decent condi- tion, It was the largest of all, ordered by Kaiakaua from England at a cost of five hundred pounds. It needed four horses to haul it, or else a span of Percherons. It soid for $160, the purchaser being H. B. M. Commissioner Hawes, who thus became heir to whatever decayed glories of depart- ed royalty still linger around the stately vehicle. The British commissioner is a fine, some- what elderly major, who has seen much of the world and the wars, of great stature and embonpoint, but erect, military bear- ing, very affable and civil. It is quite a mistake to attribute to him any active in- terference in Hawaiian matters. He does not meddle, remains quite neutral, though watchful of what is going on. Since his predecessor, Wodehouse, left, who was for- ever meddling and nagging, Messrs. Dole and Co. have enjoyed a reasonable degree of peace and quiet from the direction of the British legation. Still, the major looks as if he might become disagreeably active if he thcught occasion called for it. He has lately been negotiating for lease of Mrs. Dominis’ town residence of “‘Washing- ton Place” to become the British legation, and it was understood that her agent, Wil- son, had concluded the bargain. Itis now learned that she demurs, and is unwilling to lease the premises at all, which looks as if she had by no means resigned all hope of soon being enabled herself to reoccupy the house. But that hardly seems prob- able. Mrs. Dominis’ Fallen State. Her poor fallen ex-majesty, Liliuokalani, has now entered upon a further chapter in her downward history. The residence in her former royal palace, which she re- sumed as a prisoner seven weeks ago, she continues therein for the present, under a penal sentence of five years, having been convicted of the crime of misprision of treason. The government holds her, under the same law and liability to trial and pen- alty as any other citizen or resident of the republic, accounting her sovereignty to have ceased and determined, and a private condition to have begun, when she forfeited the throne on January 14, 1893, by her at- tempt to abolish the constitution which made her queen. At the some time they have regard to her former high position as chief magistrate and sovereign, and do not administer the punishment of her recent crime in an ignominious form. Her present aeccmmodation is palatial. For exercise and air she has the freedom of the spa- cicus southeast veranda, with its mag- nificent outlook upon the town and suburbs, as well as on the wide ornamental grounds below. Her diet will be of her own selec- tion, at her own cost. It is hardly proba- ble that it will be convenient for her to permanently occupy these quarters. Some other arrangements will probably be deter- mined upon in due time. It will be felt necessary to keep the ex- qveen apart from communication with the tive people for a good while to come. Her presence among them has been, and weuld continue to be, an extremely disturb- ing element in politics. She would inevita- bly claim and receive homage from the na- tives as their alii by divine right—as the Laui or celestial personage among them. The formal written abdication and oath of allegiance to the republic, which she lately made, cannot be counted upon as able to restrain the people from tendering their subservient homage, or her from accepting it, so long as she lived among them, and no other prince took the throne in her place. There is a strange magnetism about rcyalty among all peoples who are accus- tomed to it, and if the people have any ac- cess to this woman multitudes will flock to her, and stir up loyalty to her, and so renew the tendency and material for fresh insurrection. She must be thoroughly se- cluded from them. Deportation might be effectual. There are difficulties and objec- tions to that measure. Whatever course is finally adopted is likely to be after full and deliberate consideration. The Commission’s Work Over. The military commission have completed their very laborious task of trying the in- surgents and their confederates in the late rebellion. They are not yet formally dis- charged from duty, but no further cases are likely to call for their attention. They have sat in all thirty-five days, during a period of seven weeks. Probably 200 per- sons have been tried before this court. There have been several batches of from fifteen to twenty-five natives who served in the field together, or who were together as guards at Washington Place. The work of trying all these people has been a most arduous one for all the seven members of the commission. It has been extremely severe for the two lawyers, Kinney and Robertson, who served successively as judge advocates. A very heavy amount of labor was involved for a number of law- yers who prepared the cases. The work done has been very thorough. The cases were well prepared. The tes- timony was usually in excellent ord greatly facilitating the work of the court. There was no haste or lack of full oppor- tunity for the defense. Full and impartial hearing was given. Witnesses were cross- questioned at great length by defendants’ counsel. Not many of the accused were acquitted. In most cases there was no room for doubt of their full participation in the insurrection, either as active or as accomplices. In fact, all seriously doubtful cases were released without trial, or if the record of the party made him danger- ous, he was given the option of trial or exile, in nearly every case choosing the latter. Such were the cases of C. W. Ash- ford, A. Peterson and C. Creighton, who had been active and reckless partisans of royalty, and had all held office as attorney general, The C.avicted Insurgents. Much sympathy is reported to have been felt at the east for the case of Maj. Sew- ard. Here his case has been exceptionally devoid of the sympathy which has been keenly felt for other culprits. Seward’s record in Honolulu has not been at all a reputable one. He has been known chiefly as a parasite upon the somewhat wealthy but prodigal and loose-living John A. Cum- mins, a half-white, with the irregular ways of his class. Cummins, in his testimony, charged Seward with having misled and made a tool of him, as his superior intel- lect and persuasive ways easily enabled him to do. This is the aspect in which Sew- ard’s course in viewed here, that of a plausible and unprincipled adventurer, tak- ing a leading part in a revolution solely fer such promotion and profit as he could make out of it. As the active agent in piecuring and landing the arms from San Francisco, his case was one of the very worst of all. He, with Gulick, Rickard and Wilcox, have received their sentences, each for thirty-five years’ imprisonment at hard labor and $10,000 fine. They are in the Oahu prison, wearing the convict stripes and doing such services in the prison as are assigned to them. None of them, ex- cept Wilcox, would probably be capable of the severe labor on road making, in which most of the convicts are employed. The length of the sentences of the lead- ing insurgents is extreme, and was in- tended to be exemplary in its effect upon the public mind. To how many years the ac- tual execution of these sentences will ex- tend one may speculate as he chooses. For the rank and file of the rebels the sentences imposed by the military commis- sion w&s five years with $5,000 fine. These fines were in all cases of this lower class remitted by the president. As has been al- ready made known abroad, the commission pronounced the sentence of death upon several of the leaders. The president wise- ly postponed his decision of those sen- tences. For a few weeks the general opinion prevailed among the supporters of the government that nothing less than the execution of the death penalty would suf- fice for the protection of the state and its security against future attempts to over- throw it. Many leading men of highest character were very pronounced in this opinion. The president waited and gave opportunity for time to give light. After a few weeks strong expressions of opin- ion came from friendly Senators at Wash- ington, Minister Thurston wired very posi- tive advice to have no executions, in view of Washington sentiment. Not long after the mitigated sentences were published, as reported. There has been general quiet acquiescence in them as the best that Could be done under all the circumstances. While the long terms of imprisonment as- signed sound formidable, and would, if actually carried out, serve as a very strong deterrent from future disturbance, it is difficult for any one to regard them as at all likely to be fulfilled. The government does, indeed, thereby express its sense of the enormity of the offense, and of the destructive effect of the attempt if success- ful. But hardly anything is more probable than more or Jess exercise of clemency as the years pass, and the government be- comes, as may be hoped, settled and es- L eu, aes tyiakar tion 0! penalty for those who attempted its destruction. Indeed, whenever annexation is realized, which ali confidently expect to take place in no remote future, nothing would be more natural than a general am- nesty to all the rebels. Nowlein’s Case. There was a good deal of dissatisfaction felt with the disposition of Nowlein’s case. He was the chief leader of the insurgents, and was condemned by the military com- mission to be hanged. But, on account of his turning state’s evidence, the penalty was entirely remitted. This did not well please the public, but of course there was nothing else to be done. Nowlein’s testi- mony had been of the utmost value and im- portance. No other witness could possibly have supplemented the lack of his testi- mony, although other witnesses verified and clinched his evidence. He had received every encouragement to tell the whole story in hope of exemption from penalty. Many felt that he ought to suffer some penalty and not escape scot-free. Indeed, he ex- pected as much himself, and was extremely delighted to be set at large. But the gov- ernment must be large and generous in their clemency in such cases. Several other prisoners who gave useful evidence were* set free. One was Bertelmann, at whose house C. L. Carter was shot. His evidence was quite essential in establish- ing the guilt of Rickard and Gulick. Town- send and Warren were also released. They gave complete evidence about the transfer of the arms from the H. C. Wahlberg at sea to the steamer Waimanalo, as well as about Seward’s arrangements for that, and about the landing of the arms at Waialae ae the men who used the guns three days later. The ex-queen’s steward, Charles Clark, and her private secretary, Kaae, also came in for Hke benefit. It is indeed rather re- markable how many of these insurgents turned upon each other. From the time of their capture, many of the leading half whites seemed to vie with each other in revealing all they knew. Much of this ap- pears to have been the effect of chagrin in not receiving the support they expected sae the white men in conspiracy with Ts Nowlein seems to have been espe- lal lly. angered by finding no effort made in the city to resist the government, and so to help his rising at Diamond Head. This lack of mutual reliability will go far to de- ter and weaken any possible future con- spiracies, althcugh it must be said that the conspirators kept the secret astonishingly well up to the outbreak. The government had remained entirely swithout definite knowledge of what was being done by them. The squad of police at Bertelmann’s when Carter met his death had no sus- picion of the bedy of armed rebels gathered a mile beyond. President Dole’s Work. Upon no man has the strain come more heavily than upon President Dole in the work of determining the sentences. He is a man of strong sympathies and benevolent disposition. To such a neture the duty of seeing thet peralties should be imposed upon large numbers of persons could only be a distressing one, especially as many of these people were misguided and of honest intent. Yet the public security must be duly protected. No one probably will ever know the weight of mental conflict which has borne upon the president during the past month. To him it was undoubtedly an’ immense relief when the expression of sentiment at Washington removed all doubts as to the expediency of remitting the death penalty, for which, up to that time, public sentiment had be2n making so strenuous a demand. It should be said that Nowlein, upon his release, met with great bitterness from his former friends in Henolulu on account of his betrayal of his fellow-conspirators. He spent one day here in great fear of bodily harm, and then left for his old home, at Lahaiua. There his royalist friends met him with enthusiasm. On them, too, how- ever, the facts soon grew that he had gone wrong, and he took farther flight to Kona. Nowlein will find little regard or sympathy from any one. It is as yet too early to discover what will be the final effect upon the native mind of these recent events. There are many strong indications that it will be most favorable to the government of the republic. For one thing, there has been no indication of any strong regret among the natives,on account of the ex-queen’s imprisonmerit. There seems among the common people to be great indifference upon the subject. The general attitude of the common native mind is one of passivity. They take little active interest in politics, but will vote as their native leaders or some chief tells them. On the whole, they like to see native chiefs in power, and rather admire the holding of office by na- tives. At the same time, they recognize the superior administrative ability and honesty of the whites, and are quite well satisfied to have the whites run the government. The late crushing defeat of the royalist in- surgents has settled the case to their minds that the whites are going to keep control, and they seem generally disposed to ac- quiesce in that resi.!t. The Anneantion Movement. A movement of importance, which is as- suming considerable magnitude, is the formation of a WHawaiian Annexation League. This has been organized only a few days, but embraces most of the leading and influential royalists, including nearly all who held high offices under the mon- archy. The object of the league is to rally all the natives to the standard of annexa- tion. The members are evidently greatly in earnest in this business. There can be little doubt that they will succeed in con- verting the natives generally to the support of the measure, as they have immense in- fluence with the people. No persons can be- come members except those of native blood, or whites who have married natives, It is not to be supposed that the motive of these annexation leaguers is friendship to the government of the republic or a disposition to support it. Entirely the con- trary. It is to put an end to this gov- ernment as soon as possible by merging it in the great republic, and having a new territorial government established. Much more is it their hope.to secure in the con- stitution of the new territory of Hawaii suffrage provisions conformed to the pre- vailing practice in the United States, giy- ing equal and universal suffrage. They are anxious to abolish the present restricted suffrage for senators, for whom only those can vote who possess an income of $600 or unincumbered property of $3,000. This pro- vision excludes the majority of Hawaiian voters, and throws the choice of the up- per house of the legislature practically into the hands of the more capable classes. The senate also have more power than the low- er house, and practically control the gov- ernment. Under territorial government this new league hopes to do away with all this, and throw the controlling power into the hands of the native populace, who will be led by the demagogues, and will oust this hated “missionary” government, and restore to power the old set, who flour- ished under the monarchy. This is a very fine scheme, and will be pushed by them for all it is worth. These leaguers also hope and with much reason that the hastening of annexation will produce the release of their royalist friends and kinsmen, who are languishing in prison. In every way they trust to profit by annexation. The monarchy, they admit, has gone under, never to reappear, which is a sensible view. Now only under the flag of the United States can they se- cure equal rights. Only there is political IN 44 STATES, In Each City, Town and Smallest Village Paine’ Galery Camponnd Is Making.

Business is fairly prosperous in Hono- Tulu. Our harbor is rather crowded at times, so many are the ships. Do you know that Honolulu stands among the highest foreign ports in the world as to the tonnage of American shipping visit- ing it? Unless Congress soon begins work in opening Pearl Harbor, we may have to do it ourselves, to make room for our sur- plus shipping. A Town of Telephones. Honolulu notoriously is the best supplied with telephones of any town on the globe. There are over 1,000 to a population of 25,000. When a steamer is signaled by whistles the central office is bombarded with questions: “Central, where is the steamer?” And the operator reports at regular intervals to the crowd: “Off Koko Head,” or “Off Waimaualo,” or “Ten miles south,” as the case may be. If the fire alarm sounds, then, “Central, where is the fire?” Most of us merely turn central on and listen to the buzz of questions and the operator’s deliberate replies. Occa- sionally very absurd queries are made; “Central, is Mr. B— aboard the steam- er?” when she is twenty miles away. There was an earthquake a few weeks ago, and one lady called: “Central, where is the earthquake?” Honolulu is a most scelable town, with its thousand tele- phones, and unlimited speech through them. It is very noticeable how a man will say his say at the instrument in fifty words, and few women in less than five hundred. But what our women talk is mostly kindly and cheering, and does us all good. KAMEHAMEHA. —_—_ __ STATUS OF PENSIONS. An Interesting Opinion by the States Supreme Court. An interesting opinion upon the status of pensions was dclivered by Justice Brew- er in the Supreme Court Monday. “Con- gress being at liberty to give or withhold pensions,” said the justice, “may prescribe who shall receive and determine all the circumstances and conditions under which any application therefor shall be prose- cuted. No man has a legal right to a pen- sion, and no man has a legal right to in- terfere in the matter of obtaining pensions for himself ér others. The whole control of the matter is within the domain of con- gressional power.” This declaration was incidental to the court's opinion upon the appeal of Henry N. Frisbie, who was convicted and sen- tenced to three months’ imprisonment by the circuit court for the eastern district of Louisiana under an indictment chargin; that he demanded a greater sum than 0 for prosecuting a pension claim, in violation ef the act of June 27, 1890, which placed that limit upon the attorney's fee. The ob- jection made that the indictment lacked the indorsement “a true bill” and the signature of the foreman of the grand jury should have been made before trial to be effective, the court held. The principal point made in the appeal was that the act was uncon- stitutional because interfering with the price of labor and the freedom of contract, The justice said: “It is within the un- doubted power of government to restrain some individuals from all contracts, as well as all individuals from some con. tracts,” and referred to contracts for the purchase or sale of lottery tickets in that connection. After stating that a pension granted by the government is a matter of bounty, that no pensioner had a vested legal right to his pension, that Congress had the right to give, withhold, distribu: or recall them, Justice Brewer said: “Hav- ing power to legislate on this whole matter, to prescribe the conditions under which parties may assist in procuring pensions, it has the equal power to enforce by penal provisions compliance with its require- ments. There can be no reasonable quese tion of the constituiionality of this stat- ute.” The conviction was sustained. ° JUSTICE JACKSON'S HEALTH. if It Does Not Greatly Improve He Will Resign. It is understood in Supreme Court circlee that Justice Howell E. Jackson, who is now at his home in Tennessee, will resign from the bench of the Su- preme Cqurt next fall if his health does not permit him to resume active partici- pation in the work of the court after its summer vacation. Justice Jackson has been absent from Washington some months on account of illness, which was thought. by his friends to be consumption in an advanced stage, and, although his,recovery was for a time considered out of the ques- tion, he has recently greatly improved. The movement in Congress to pass a bill placing Justice Jackson on the retired list was based on the understanding that he would not be able to again take his seat with the court. His improvement during the past few weeks has led him to believe that he may return to work after a rest of a few months more. Should this hope fail of fulfillment it is sald to be his intention to place his resignation in the hands ot the President. . —_—__-2-—_____—_ Cuban Sugar Crop.
