But the Chronicle seems to think that we have gone into the business of deposing native dynasties and refus- Ing to people outside our legitimate jurisdiciion the right to select and malntain their own form of government. In other words, that paper makes proclamation that we have joined the “‘pirate nations”’ in overthrowing small governments ard stealing the birthright of soverelgnty. This view of the mission of the United States is novel and implies a reversal of the policy of this Government, The Chronicls says it happens to know that a native in Hawali proposed that Liliuokalani should marry a Japanese Prince, and regards that as suffiZient pretext for the seizure of the Islands, In 1883 the Chromicle said that the introduction of Mon- gollans into Hawall had forever unfitted it for annexation to this country, anl that the prevalence of leprosy there would compel the Pacific Coast to “petition for a close quarantine against all Ha lan sugar, rice and articles of domestic pro- duction. This is what would be done if it were cholera, or plague, or yellow fever, and the leprosy is worse than all these combined.” To-day there are ten times as many Mongols and more leprosy in Hawall, but the Chromelesays: *‘If the annexa- tion treaty does not pass the Senate the Dole Government will simply hold its place until a friendlier Senate is chosen, or until, being finally assured abandonment by the United States, it opens a political trade with England.” Suppose the Dole Government try the experiment of giv- Ing back to the veople of Hawail the ballot of which it has robbed them by force, and then submit itself to the decision the people as the Government of the United States did more than a hundred years ago; as the Latin- Ameri repub- lics did after the revolutions incited by Simon Bolivar, and as the United States of Brazil did after the expulsion of Dom Pedro? Mr. Dole’s devotion to republican institutions and regard for the rights of men is finely brought out in the threat that he political trade with England.” Mr. Dole has planted his petty oligarchy in the Monroe hemisphere, where small and hypocritical tyrants who rob the people of their franchise are not permitted to makea political trade of a stolen birthright to England. No doubt he would offer such a trade, but we venture the prediction that England would at once report him to the Uniied States and refuse to accept what he has no right to give, The annexation treaty Is doomed, and Mr. Dole will have to try the experiment of running a vernment based upon the assent of 2 per cent of the governed. of ab of will make The Portland anarchist who declared that he would *rot in jatl’" before he would sign a bond putting himself under obli- wation to the Goveramont deserves to be taken at his word, Unfortunately the jails provided in this country do not seem upocinlly designed to promote the process of decay, so tne anarch siie gontleman will be foread to exeroise patien However, he has the advantage of most prisoners in that the putridity for which ho pines sa ems alveady to have set in. . THE ALASKAN OUTFKITTING TRADE. AN FRANOISCO i3 at last awake to the f vaniages she possesses as the metrovolis of the Pacific Const will avail her nothing unless she hus the energy to make use of them. Her merchants and her manufacturers are loarning they have rivals in the smaller cities of the coast whom they cannot aiford to despise, and that if they are to bold the trade which of right shoula beldng to them they must bo notive and alort at all times. The movemonts pow under way in the city to provide for choaper transportation to northern ports and to make this point the outfitting port for the Alaskan trade are evidences of the nowly awakened spirit of the business men of the com- munity. Kach of them gives encouragement to the belicf that San Francisco will in the future be able to illustrate the Amer- 1can capacity for co-operation as brilliantly as it has been done in Chicago and on a smailer but not less noteworthy scale by Los Angeles and Seattle. The Puget Sound cities have advantages in Alaskan trade by reason of their geographical situation, but to compensate for these San Francisco has the superiority of capital, the pos- session of larger stooks of goods ana the fuct that many articles of primo importance to mining communities are manufacturea in find in this city their natural whbolesale murket and place of export. As was polnted out by Mr. Mills in an interview published in Tur CAry yesterday San Fravcizco not only produces many articles of use to miners, but in quite & number of important that the aa- California and classes of mining goods produces the best articles in the world. California has been cver since its settloment by the American people one of the chief mining regions of the giobe, and us a re- sult there has been built up hers a market for mining goods that cannot be equaled elsewhero in the United Siates. For these reasons San Francisco is the natural outfitting point for the Alaskan trade, and if the advantages we poss are fully made known in the East it is fairly certain we will gain next spring vearly the whole of the great business that is going to be done in that direction. Whatever is to he accomplished, however. must be set about Trade waits for the convenience of no community. 1f the merchants and manufacturers of San Franeisco do not cor dially unite in giving support to the movements now under- taken to provide cheap transportation and secure the Alaskan trado we shall see the rush po to the northern ports next spring, white we are left to glean what we may pick up after the harvest i3 over. at onoe.

She says she has prepared the Wagnerian roles of Elsa and Eva.'" The Novoe Vremyn of St Petersburg an- nounces that Jean and Edouard de Reszke, with the assistance of the German impresario, M. Loewe, bave formed a company o give this winter at 8t Potersburk ana Moscow series | of Wagneriun operas. They will play “Sieg- | fried,” “Tristan and Iseult,” “The Meister- singer” and “Lohengrin.” The principal art- ists will be Theodore Reichmann of the Impe- rial Opera, Vieuna, Mmes. Eames and Litt- vine, sister-in-law of the Do Reszkes. The German colony s very numerous in § . Peters- burg, of whow the parents of Mme, Littyine (nee Sehaltz) form a part. This will probably insure the success of the undertaking in St Petersburg. But according to the Russian correspondent success appears doubtful as re- gards Moscow. where the public prefers the Grand Imperinl Theater, with its varied reper- tory sung in the Russian language.

In spite of the five stars who made partof the troupe the hall was nearly empty. The handsome bronze bust of Mozart, which was won by the United Singing Societies of Brooklyn at the national saengerfest at Phila- delphia and whien has been placed upon & pedestal in the flower garaen at Prospect Park, was unvetled last week with appropriate cere- mon'es. All the German singing societies tn Brooklyn turned out in full force in honor of the event. Over forty singing societies and turn vereins joined in the procession, which | was headed by a hne of carriages containing the Mayor and officlals and preceded by sn escort of mounted police. An immense crowd nad gathered at the park. Oun the arrival of the procession some of Mozart's music was sung &nd the statue was decorated, after which the bust of Beethoven, which was also won by the united singers and was near that of Mozart, was also decorated with wreaths and flowers. Althougk it has frequently been stated that Mary Anderson, now Mrs. de Navarro, perma- nently quitted the siage when she married, she still sings for charity at concerts given at her village home situated in one of the most | beautiful spots in England. To all appear- ances she leads an ideslly happy life, sne and her husband entertaining all the members of the artistic world who are personally worth knowing. This year Mr. Navarro organized a cricket mateh with art on one side and literature on the other. Ou the side of litera- tare were Conan Doyic, Anthony Hope and others and on art’s side appeared Plunketr, Greene, Mr. Herkomer, a young American artist, and others (o make up the eleven. In view of the enthusiasm which the very artistic music of Mr. and Mrs. Georg Henschel has raised, it may not be amiss to give a few | particulars as to their personnel. Mr. Henschel | is of Polish parents, & native of Breslau, but now, 10 all intents and purposes, an English- man, and in spite of his youtbful appearance | is nearly fifty years oid. Mrs. Henchel (nee | Bailey) was 8 well-kuown singer before her marrisge, Which cecurred sixteen yearsago. | As teachers Mr. and Mrs Henchel are con- sidered equsl to Shakespeare and Lamperti and as performers they have a great rerute- | tion in London. They have a beautiful home at Kensington s wesiern suburb of that city, and are looked upon as very fortunate people. Performances exactly so unique as the recituis of this zitted couple certainly never took | placein San Francisco before. Mr. Henchel was the fir@t conductor of the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra. The nextrecital will take place this aiternoon at 3:30 in the Y, M. C, A, auditor.um. i P | The Siint-Ssens Festival at tho Brussels | Exposition has obtainad a great success.
