HONOLULU, October 30, 1897. Since the reply of Minister Cooper to Count Okuma’s letter was sent to Tokio two morths :.go, the attitude of the Japa- ese government appears to have radically changed. It will be remembered that Okuma then expressly excepted from arbi- tration the two main points at issue, viz., that “of the applicability of the treaty of 1871 to Japanese subjects, other than those belonging to the merchant class; and, secondly, that “of the bona fide posses- sion of $50 by each of the rejected free la- berers.” Mr. Cooper’s reply asked for a Gefinite statement of what points the im- perial gcvernment was willing to submit te arbitration, such statement being lack- ing. = The answer to this request came in due time.

Proposed Excmption From Tax of A 1 Used im the Arts. The question of raising. more revenue from customs duties is liable to come up in congress again if Senator Platt’s alcohol committee is as successful as he expects it condition of their political affairs. There is evidently a n’aterial change in their ex- ternal policy toward Hawail. It can hardly be doubted that this is largely due to the resolute attitude cof the United States in maintaining at Honolulu a stronger naval force than usual in response to the presence of the Naniwa. Then also Japan seems to have been misled by her legation at Wash- irgton into underrating the active inten- ticns of the United States respecting the annexation of Hawaii. A present better un- derstanding of those intentions has led her to withdraw from her cwn aggressive posi- tion. Japan is certainly not now in a con- ition, either financially or in her relations to Russia, to assume any hostile. tone. to- ward the Unted States, even though the latter be inferior in naval force upon this ocean. At the same time it is believed that the condition of their parties at home makes it necessary for the Japanese government to present an appearance of making active progress in their negotiations with Hawaii, and not to have at all withdrawn from them. The opposition to the men in power is at all times excessively virulent and bit- ter. It is necessary to keep up an appear- ance of progress in an affair which has generated so much heated feeling as this }/ of the rejection of emigrants by Hawaii.

Japan, which we insufficiently understand, doubtless have affected the situation. The Ambition of Japan. Your public men who have lately been in Japan strongly confirm the testimony, given some months ago by the younger Mr. Noyes of The Star, as to the eyident anxiety of the Japanese statesmen to hold a controlling influence in Hawail. Ex-Con- sul General McIver, who was lately here, was exceptionally strong in that convic- tion, gained by much opportunity of inti- mate observation at Toki The same opinion-. was emphatically confirmed by Senator Cannon of Utah, who spent a day here last week on his way home from Ja- pan. Although a strong friend to annexa- tion, he went there with a preconceived idea that the Hawalians had unduly mag- nified the Japaneese menace .in order to further their cause. But upon personal in- tercourse with the Tokio statesman, he found unmistakable evidence of their keen dissatisfaction and disappointment at the prospect of control of Hawaii by the.Unit- ed States and thelr own exclusion from in- fluence here. They had fully recognized the commanding position of Hawali as the key to supremacy in the commerce of the Fa- cific, and are extremely loth to surrender it to the United States. Mr. Cannon now. feels that there has been no misjudgment as te the seriousness of the Japanese in- tention to make a colony of Hawaii. worthy part-white *millionai ton, Their subscription papers are certified to by thé sigratures’ of "the présidents ‘of the ‘thrép royalist tidns.

Many amusing colloquies have resulted, when there was knowledge enough of each other’s language for the purpose. Some of the canvassers would disclaim any desire to restore the queen. “We Ike (mukky mukky) Mr. Dole. He is a good man. This good government. We. want to keep this government. We want no American gov- ernment, We want to keep Hawall inde- pendent.” It is quite likely that they were sincere in these expressions. ‘There is litt!e animosity, remaining’ toWard the present government among the’ comsaon natives. ‘Then-many of them are quit stupid, and suffering from poverty of ideas.

The nearly half million brown barbarians, who crowded this latest discovered group, Jonely and apart in the North Pacific, 120 years ago,have left but a dwindled remnant of 30,000 pure descendants and 8,000 of mix- ed blood. The ancient simplicity,poyerty and superstition has given place to a rich and splendid civilization created and conducted by robust and accomplished white Ameri- cans and British. The swift steam shuttles of a magnificent commerce are weaving a noble web of opulent traffic all across this broad and once vacant ocean. Hawali now stands the solitary queen of the central Pacific, to whom all the immense com- merce must pay tribute—the naval and commercial key which shall confer imperial power upon its pessessor. For such high and influential destiny did this gentle and hospitable Hawaitan people hold these gems of the ocean to be prepared and fitted by the gradual, peaceful and healthy Amer- ican civilization, which now so nobly adorns them. It is the happy lot of these kindly Hawaiians to be admitted to the glorious citizenship of the American Union. KAMEHAMEHA. Ingratitude of a Greek Toward Friends Who Wm.

There was an alarm of fire shortly after 7 o'clock last night, which brought out the entire department. It w used by the burning of a chimney in “Faweett’s row,” in the fourth ward. But little damage w done. The engines did not go into service.

Senator Platt of Connecticut is chairman of the special joint committee of Congress appointed to investigate the ques- tion of alcohol used in the arts and manu- factures for the purpose of determining if it is possible to carry out the law relieving alcohol so used from taxation. The law was never put into operation because Sec- retary Carlisle said that it was impossible for the department to formulate regula- tions by which a discrimination could be made between that used in the arts, ete. and that used over the bar or elsewher Vhatever there may have been in this con- tention, one very sufficient reason for avoiding free alcohol in the arts if possible was found in the shortness of revenue dur- ing the Cleveland administration. The joint committee of congress appoint- ed to look into the matter, which has from time to time been holding hearings, is now meeting in New York. The latest informa- tion is that they will probably be able to report to Congress at the approaching ses- ion that regulations can be made by which the exemption can be put into operation without increasing the danger of fraud, and the assumption is that Congress will enact whatever legislation the committee may recommend to put into force the exemption law. The result of such legislation will be that the government will lose very heavily of its internal revenue, though frauds be very carefully and successfully guarded against. A great deal more alcohol is used in the arts and manufactures than is used in any other way. It is calculated, there- fore, that this branch of the internal reve- nue will be cut down more than half. While the Dingley tariff act is expected to produce much mere revenue hereafter than it has this year, it was not constructed with any calculation for such a loss of in- ternal thar Pa _ be involved in the proposition of free alcohol. Consequentl: it will probably be found necessary. to mis cure an income from some other source to make up for the loss if the joint committee report a plan for free alcohol. —_————_- e+ _____ Greeks knew well. @ pistol at them.

We should be truly sorry to have our old neighbor ard friend meet with any personal disaster in a strange land. This makes it apropes to notice the falsity of a statement lately published by a Chicago reporter, and given wide circulation, that Mrs. Dominis, while crossing the eonti- nent, was, insulted by a group of young Honolulu people on the same car, who sang opprovrious songs, so that she. had to seek quarters in another car. The facts were quite the contrary. A letter was re- cetved here from ‘an estimable young lady of the party, written before she had heard of the falze report. Shé stated that their party was in another Car, and were inyited by the queen to come into her car and sing He spent the day in Alexaadria, returning to Washington that night, but returned here bright and early Friday morning.

He was in- vited to breakfast, which had just been prepared, and stated that he always took a walk in the morning before eating. That was the last seen of Micopolas. Natives Refuse to Come. Honolulu advices dated November 5 say: The government has referred its revisions of Minister Shimamura’s protocol to the Japanese representative, and it will be submitted at once to Tokio. If Japan ap- proves of the amendments, which will like- ly be the case, the papers will be signed by Hawaii, and the whole matter will be ready for preliminary arrangements for arbitra- tion. z John M. Kaneakua has addressed a letter to James K. Kaulia, president of the Hui Altoha Aina, in which he declines to go to Was..ngton as a representative of the three native political societies to fight against annexation. No special reasons are assigned for the refusal. Prince David Kawananakoa has written a similar letter, and he will not make the trip. He gives business reasons for not go- ing.

Since their second ‘mass meeting,” held a few weeks since, the anti-annexationists have been laboring under great division in their ranks about whom to send as a com- mittee to carry their protest to Washing- ton. The rather few whites among them are naturally anxious to have such com- mittee present a respectable appearance as to intelligence, and would like such a man as Mr. J. O. Carter at the head of it. But the natives seem to have taken the bit in their teeth, and will not hear of any white man going. They appear to be unwilling even to send any of the half-whites, al- though it is among that class that the strongest opponents to annexation are found. There has been a good deal of quar- reling as to who shall go. The whites know well enough that a party composed only of natives would stand a rather un- certain chance of even finding their way as far as Washington, owing to general ignor- ance and incapacity. It ts nearly. certain that no one of such a committee would dé competent to handle tke funds sia reéyt late the expenses. Prince David Kawaua- nakoa, who is spoken of as one of the com- mittee, might perhaps be thus;somprtent, as he was educated in California,‘and went with Paul Neumann to ne Lilluogatg net No serious thought was given to the matter, as it was believed he had returned to Wash- ington. Yesterday morning, however, when Con- stantinople started to balance his assets he found that a pocket book which he kept under his pillow had been relieved of $300, and a wad of brown paper submitted for the bills. Suspicion at once pointed to Micopolas, and the police were notified. ‘They have been making a thorough search, but so far have not obtained a clue as to the whereabouts of the suspect. Micopolas is described as being about thirty years of age, small, black hair and mustache and weighing about 140 pounds. The Washing- ton authorities have been asked to look out for him. Wm.

But the poor fellows would really need a sharp business man. In view of the !diotic notions of their na- tive associates, the whites decline to ad- vance the necessary funds for the expedi- tion, and the natives belong generally to the more unthrifty class among them, who have no money in hand. This has resulted in a quite farcical method of procedure.
