10 \ THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1896. ISLAND RULE N SECRET - UNREST, Dr. Dille Upon the Provi- sional Regime of Hawaii. THE COMING OF TROUBLE Princess Kaiulani the Hope of the White and Native Royalists. INTENSELY ENGLISHWOMAR. Hawaii Needs a Stable, Popular Gov- ernment or Annexation to This Country. Dr. Dille of the Central Methodist Church of this City, who returned last Friday from a six weeks’ visit to the Hawaiian Islands, was interviewed by a CaLL representative regarding the politi- cal complexion of affairs in the mid- Pacific republic. “The Provisional Government,” said Dr. Dille, “is apparently running as smoothly as its best friends could wish. President Dole’s executive ability and pa- triotic principles cannot be questioned, and the strongest adherant of the late monarchy must respect him for his wis- dom and honesty. I refer, of course, to the white royalists and the most intelli- gent of the native population. There is evidently a desire on the part of the Gov- ernment to treat all colors with impartial justice and to reco mmend itself to the en- tire island people. “But everywhere there is a sense of un- rest and a clear apprehension of a coming national, if not international, trouble. “However upright its character may be it 1s not a government of the whole peo- ple, and I think none know this better than the Government itself. More secu- rity, stability is needed, and more promise for the perpetuity of the republic. 1 use the word ‘republic’ as a general term. *The Kanakas are not in tune with the present regime. Those who seriously con- sider it are intensely dissatisfied, and the rest are happy-go-iucky over the ques- tion—the predominating trait of these simple islanders. They cannot under- stand t body but a Hawaiian in biood should rule Hawaii. Around Hono- iuin since the last outbreak there is proba- bly nothing that the Government need immediately fear, but in the other islands distant from the capital there is plenty of rebellious feeling. When the leaders come the timid natives will again arise in the interests of a native ruler. “‘Another question that comes up with all its unpleasantness is that of finance. The National purse, always a slender one, has been preity well emptied, and money always cuts a mighty figure among the | nations of the earth. “So the Dole Government, knowing it- self to be out of touch with the Kanakas, is praying for annexation as the only remedy. Of course, the average native has no conception of the meanin of the word, and if it were expiained to him what annexation means he would like the idea just about as litdle as he likes the white overnment at Honolulu. “Liliuokalani, having formally abd:- cated and surrendered all her right and title to the crown, is out of the question forever; but there is another woman—a new one—looking over the ocean toward the island k i gdom that was willed her. s Kaiulani and the hope of 3 Her friends in the islands are not parading the beacles with brass bends, nor even with the roval Kahili plumes, but all the same the current sets toward this girl. Aside from the fact that she is a handsome, amiable and popular princess, and is the only pretender to the shadow throne of Hawaii, she is English through and through, and none know this better and joy over it more than Englund and ber Minister and subjects in Hono- lulu. So when Kaiulani gete ready to rule over the kingdom restored she will find plenty of foreign frienas to hunt among the old royal lumber for the scepter. ““Hawaii, lving exposed and defenseless in the great path of commerce traversing the Pacific, must be or should be pro- tected by a stronger power than itself, and the question arises, ‘Which power shall that be?” Burdened with an unpopular Government, and gilled with the non- milating elements of a mixed people, she will disintegrate. Besides her own in- different natives and the American and Eneiish born, who are cousins but not lovers over the Hawaiian question, she has great numbers of Portuguese, jnpn- nese and Chinese laborers scattered among the plantations. These three bodies of aliens are only lay figures in the political economy of the republic, except when they vecome, if they do, objects of solicitude on the part of their respective governments. Stould_another outbreak or revolution occur Great Britain and other powers, if not the United States, will surely take strong and_active measures on the ground of proteciing their respective subjects. The Hawaiian Islands should have a pop- ular and stable Government or annexation to this conntry. % “‘Speaking of revolution, the thing is not so remotely impossible and even now, though I am not desirous of heiuT_ quoted as a prophet, the seeds of rebellion muy be sprouting. The last uprising might have been successful had they pessessed a Irader who would have first prepared for the blow. It was sprung too soon and went haphazard after it got started. The natives can only be reiled upon when they are proverly led, but there are doubt- less leaders which, under the present con- dition of things, have nothing to lose, comparatively epeaking, and evervthing to gain. The Kanaxas will be ever looking for tne day when a native Hawaiian wil occupy the palace again, for their simple minds cannot grasp the 1dea of alien ruling over the old kingdom of Kameha- roeha.’ RING AND TRACK. Reddy Gallagher Wants Another Chance at Young Mitchell. Cross-Country Ru The athletes of the Olympic Club have been training at the Olympic athletic grounds for several days past for the cross- country races which will be held on Sun- day at Souther Farm within the immedi- ate vicinity of San Leandro. Captain Gill states that several contest- ants will participate in the running events and that the cycling races will be warmly contested, as several of the best riders of the ciub have signified their intention of entering. Superintendent Kennedy has been deputized to take charge of the culinary department. He has perfected arrangements with a well-known beef merchant of San Leandro with a view of having an exceilent bulishead breakfast for the boys after the races are over. Ac- cording to the preparations that have been made by the officers of the day, the Olympic Club athletes and wheelmen will | enjoy a first-class outing on Sunday next. On Sunday nextan interclub inanimate- target shocting contest will be held at the Lincoln grounds, and the Empire Gun Ciub will shoot clay birds on the same day at Alameda Point. The Fly-casting Club will meet this evening at Sutro’s Baths for practicecast- ing. The electric lights have been so ar- ranged that the caster can now plainly see the drop of his fly, which condition of affairs dia not exist at past meetings. A large gathering is expected. : Inanimate-target shooters are practicing daily at the Oakland grounds for the big tournament which will be held at Good- water Grove, near Stockton, commencing on the 30:h inst, The Olympic Club isjmakingfarrange- ments for a ladies’ night, which will be held in the club’s gymnasium about the widdle of June. Reddy Gallagher, who is the instructor of the Denver Athletic Club, writes that during his vacation in June he will jour- ney to this City if any of the boxing club managers will guarantee him a match with any of the 1o al pugilists of his class. Gallagher is anxious for another iry at Young Mitchell. When those two clever cxponents of the manly art met in the old Occidental Club, situated on New Mont- gomery street, about five years ago, ina finish contest, the members of the club aw one of the most stubborn and excit- nz fistic contests that had ever taken place in this City. Mitchell won the contest, butit wasa hard-earned viciory. Gallagher had him going in the second round and in all prob- ability would have defeated Mitchell had itnot been for the timely sound of the gong, which saved the home-made cham- vion from a waterloo. | In the fourth round Mitchell caught “Reddy” a hook on the point of the chin, which put an end to the battle. The once- famous middle-weight, Jack Dempsey, seconded Mitcheli in this fight and it was through his clever teaching ana able us- sistance that Mitchell snaiched a victory from the two-handed Denver champion when the latter was holding a strong lead. The contést will never be forgorten by those who witnessed it. It was give and take from start to finish. “THE CALL” RACING CHART. Cl,lllhrllh Jockey Club’s Spring Meeting, Bay District Track.

OREGON ECLIPSE OVERLOOKED. Zobair Disposed of His Field Easily. Arundel Downed a Warm Favor- ite in the Steeplechase. Not enough coin circulated around the betting-ring at the Bay District track yes- terday to buy a tramp a new pair of cop- per-riveted blue overalls and a starchel white shirt without causing some one to take advantage of the bankruptcy act. The card, originally just a trifle freckeled at the outset, underwent the pruning process with the result of having the best event declared off, leaving but five races to decide, the fields in which all were of the “‘skate” variety. The attendance was small and the sport listless and uninter- esting. The favorites could be said to have met with more than ordinary success, for two out of the five won purses for their owners. Old Oregon Eclipse surprised the crowd by capturine the event in which he started at odds of 20 to 1. Bookmaker Humphrey’s Zobair went to the post a 7 to 5 favorite, against a very or- dinary field in the openiug six-furiong run. Coffey waited with nim until the stretch was reached, when he sent him to the front, and at the wire won handily by a length and a half, with Chinook, & 30 to 1 shot, finishing in the show. “Doc” Robbins’ oid horse Oregon Eclipse, scampered away with the next event, over seven furiongs, at the very juicy price of 15t0 1. He was apparently neglected and overlooked until the last moment, when a quiet play was made on him. Away in front, closely foliowed by Tar and Tartar, he managed to keep his head in the lead all the way, and at the wire beat the Tar out a head. Martin, on the 6 to 5 choice Hermanita, backed down from 8 to 5, managed to bring his mount up the last furlong, finishing third next the rail, but a head away from the leaders, May Day and Ricardo were left at the post. The jumpers had an inning in the third event, tie course being about one and one- eighth miles with six obstacles to clea Clancy’s mount, Artemus, seemedSto be in greatest demand, the wise coin forcing his odds down from 8105 1091010, Of the | other five starters the Lark was offered the most support, the departed Ciifton’s favorite being played down from 44 to1 to 234 after opening at the latter figure. He was, however, nnfortunate in making a mistake at the first jump, dislodging his rider, Epperson, from the saddle. The | favorite led until reaching the brow of the hill coming up from the dip when Arun- del, ridden by Cuddy, overtook him and ! won easily by alenzth. Comrade finished in the show behind the first horse. The | winner was a 7 to 1 chance in tue books. The Roman looked to overtop the other starters in the five-furlong scramble for two-year-olds and was rightly madea 1 to 2 choice. Viking, followed by Tortoise, made the running to the stretch, when the favorite gradually forged to the front, win- ning easily by a length and a half in 1:01}. Dolce, the sister to Crescendo, out- | ran Viking the last part, capturing plncel honors. | A cheap selling dash at five and a_half furlongs wound up the day’s racing. Road Warmer, carrying 95 pounds, was sent to | out n the lead with Crackajack to the streich began fading away, finally ending up fifth at the end. Getting through on the inside Last Chance, with 5 to 1 about him in the books, passed the stand ridden out, winner over I;Pow-rd by a length. TRACK AND PADDOOE ITEMS. One more steeplechase-rider has been added to the blacklist. Swift was sus- pended by the judges yesterday for his indifferent ride on Tom Clarke. The best proof that figures sometim lie was shown by reviewing one of the numerous handicaps sold at the gate. Among the starters in the first race whose past performances did not entitle them to fizure a possible chance was Skalkaho. The Montana horse finished & good nconfl Mount Air was well played to win the opening race, but the weather signals displayed indicated that his wind wouid be bad, and sure enough he failed to get inside the money. The vfiood information bureau reported Road Warmer, the tirst choice for the lasu race, a '‘dead one,” and the judges warned Butler to do his pest in the saddle. The horse showed his old-time speed until nearing the stretch, where he began to tire, and from that point on to the wire ran as though a feast of broken glass, pet- rified doughnuts, home-made mince pies and Market-street cobble-stones had dis- arranged his digestive organs. Peoplas had the mount on Howara yes- terday in place of Espinosa and the geld- ing was well backed. The former lad worked a& marked improvement in the horse’s running and plainly the best horse in the race was beaten through a still better ride Martin put up on Last Cuance. It lovked like old times to see Nick Hall's colors finish in front once more in a steeplechase. Nick has haa a run of hard luck during the last few months, and Arundel’s win was a popular one. When next the fine race mare Olive ap- pears in public she will sport the colors of A. B. Spreckels, the presidentof the Pa- cific Coast Jockey Club having purchased ner from Edward Corrigan yesterday. Olive is & dark bay mare, 4, by Apache, dam Virgie, and during the long Ingleside meeting was one of the most consistent performers that faced the starter, placing many purses to the credit of the Haw- thorne magnate. 1 Durirg the closing meeting at Ingleside track J. W. Wilson of Sacramento will offi- ciate in the stand as presiding judge. Mr. Wilson is no novice in turf matters, hav- ing acted in the sume capacity at the State Fair held in S8acramento, where his rulings were regarded as just and impartial. The two-mile Ullman steeplechase to be decided at the coming Ingleside meef}:g o will be run on Saturday, May 30. value of the stake is $1800. RAILROAD CASE CLOSED. Judge McKenna Heard the Last A ment Yesterday. The case of the Southern Pacific Rail- way Company vs. the Railroad Commis- sioners, to restrain the latter from reduc- ing certain freight rates, was brought to a close by the argument of Judge Garber yesterday. 5 Judge McKenna paid a high compli- ment to the attorneys engaged in the trial of the long-drawn-out case, sayin that their areuments had been clear an logical and that in the presentation of the case great care had been shown as to de- tail. gl‘le said he would render a decision as soon as he had given the legal points presented the consideration and study necessary to a thorough digestion of the case. R Threats to Kill. Osmund G. Nailson, 1122 York street, swore to & complaint in Judge Low’s court yesterday for the arrest of Park Policeman James Dow on the charge of threats to kill. Neilson said that Dow’s wife wanted to get & divorce from him and he had agreed to supply her with the necessary funds. They met on Monday at Dow's. house on Hayes street, and after some angry words had passed beiween them Dow ulied out his revolver and threatened to blow the post a 13 to 5 favorite, and after racing Neilson’s brains out. “THE CALL'S” RACING GUIDE.

Street Precautions Taken to Prevent Their Handling Tickets. THE LOCAL WAR CONSIDERED. Chairman Caldwell Appoints a Com- mittee to Adjust the Existing Differences. Half-rates to all the great National con- ventions have been decided upou by the Transcontinental Passenger Association. The question had been under discussion every day during the six days’ continuous session of the association. It was not the matter of rates that troubled the members of the association, but their ingenuity was taxed asto how the public could be accommodated with low rates and yet keep the ticket-scalpers from doing a profitable business in con- vention tickets. An elaborate system was finally devised and thus submitted to all the roads interested, but it was not until yesterday that the last vote was recorded in favor of the resolution providing for the half-rates. The round-trip fares as adopted from San Francisco and common points, are as follows: To the National Prohibition Convention, ;rsgich is to convene May 27 at Pittsburg, To the National Republican Convention, which is to meet June 16 at St. Louis, $67 50. To the Democratic National Conven- lu;n. which 18 to meet July 7 at Chicago, To the National Convention of the Young People’s Societies of Christian En- deavor, which is to open its session at Washington, D. C., on July 7 and to con- tinue until the 13th, $94 50. To the annual meeting of the Bantist Young People’s Union of America, which is to open at Milwaukee on July 16 and continue until the 19th, $74 50. To the National Convention of the Re- publican League, which is to meet at Mil- waukee on August 26, $74 50. To the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, which is to meet at Minneapolis on September 1 and to continue until September 4, $67 90. Among the principal precautions taken against the danger of ‘‘scaiping’’ is the limitation of the sale of tickets to two days and a thorough identification of the purchaser. As stated yesterday would be the case Chairman Caldwell brought up the matter of the rate war between the Oregon Rail- way and Navigation Company and the Southern Pacific Company and its effect on transcontinental business. It was shown that the action of the Ore- gon Railway and Navigation Company in giving notice that it would use the war rate between bere and Portland as a basing rate for ali business east via Portland would have a demoralizing effect on all transcontinental business, and Mr. Cald- weil appointed General Passenger Agent T. H. Goodman of the Southern Pacific Company and General Passenger Agent W. H. Hurlburt a committee of two to ar- range for the settlement of the differences between their respective companies, with a view to the restoration of old rates be- tween here and Portland, and the conse- quent removal of the present danger to transcontinental rates in general. Pending the negociations between the two warring roads rates via Ogden will not be disturbed. This concluded the business of the asso- ciation for this session and adjournment was taken sine die. THE OREGON'S CREW. Pald Off Yesterday and Made the Po- trero Lively. Yesterday afterncon was one of the liveliest seen about the Potrero for a num- per of years. All this came abcut by rea- son of the crew of the Oregon having been paid off. The boys felt so good at the record made by thequeen of battle-ships that each cred- ited himself with the vessel’s successand as aresult when emerging * "tween decks’” to the open air with money in his pocket the blue hills of the Potrero were made toecho with praise for the vessel’s record. The bounty, however, earned by ithe splendid record made has not been yet given to the men who did so much to achieve that honor. The eighty men will average about $115 each, but it will be some time before the allowance is made. Uncle Sam will have some figuring to do and some red tape to spin before the bonus reaches the hands of those who are enti- tled to share it. ——————— Oalifornia College. A large and intelligent audience gathered in the assembly hall of California College on Monday evening of this week to listen to the exercises of the graduating class of the musical department. Four young ladies gave very creditable renderings on the piano of choice selections from the old masters and received their diplomas from the hands of Dr. Morse, resident of the college. Their names were: Miss Leilea Reider of Sacramento, Miss Flor- ence Dam, Miss Agatha Dunning and Miss Edith Swain of Sacramento. NEW TO-DAY.
