PROBABLY OF PROBATIONARY CHARACTER Speculation as to Kind of Government. VAIN HOPES OF HAWAIIANS THEY CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR INDEPENDENCE. By a Pecullar Way of Reasoning Some Natives Expect to Yet Have Annexation Plans Changed. BY HORACE WRIGHT. Spectal Correspondence of The Call. HONOLULU, Sept. 23.—The Hawallan Commission has completed its labors in Hawaii and the members from the mainland are booked to leave for their homes by the steamship Gaelic to-day. It is probable that Assoclate Justice Frear will join his colleagues in Wash- ington in November, and possibly President Dole may accompany him, but at present writing this point i§ un- decided. he com ission has very wisely pre- vented any leakage of the character of its report and has determined to prac- tically prepare it in Washington. The imp fon, however, which appears to most prominently prevall among thoughtful and conservative men, who value more the best interests of both countries than political preferment, is that Hawali will for some few years be allotted a territorfal form of govern- ment of a probationary character, gomewhat akin to that granted to ana. In support of this view thy is accorded to the commis- , its labors, the numerous and tradictory memorials presented to commission are direct evidence that t to ourselves we are not prepared elect a form of government that will stisfactory to the several conflict- interests and political parties, and further, that the best interests of the ted States and probably alsc of Ha- i, will be conserved by, temporarily at least, preventing a renewal of po- litical antagonisms and giving the land rest until such time as our people as & whole thoroughly appreciate the fact that we are no longer an independent sovereignty, but an integral part of the United States. Even the annexationists claim that th did not surrender the country with the intention of maintaining in power the Dole-Judd faction and they claim deal”; the planters and the commercial interests require protection not in consonance with the wishes of the mai nd, whi he Hawailans are so divide under their reckless and foolish leaders that it is difficult to say what would satisfy the majority except the general principles of American rights of equality and the franchise. Even the shrewd women of Hawali, While recognizing the political change, still hanker after restoration of the monarchy, assisting a large number of the men in their openly expressed pro- tests against annexation and in favor of restoration. It is useless to disguise the fact, but for some time to come no kindly and forcible advice from Sena- tors Cullom and Morgan or Mr. Hitt or from those white residents who have been their warmest friends for years and have fought with them side by side against annexation can convince a very large number, perhaps a majority, of the native Hawalians that annexation is permanent. They insist upon believ- ing (from reliable information) that a Democratic or Populist President will next reign at the White House and that then Congress and the President will review the ex-Queen’s protest and the annexation proceedings and restore Liliuokalani to the throne under anm American protectorate. It is no won- der, then, that cautious men are not anxious to bestow the electoral fran- chise too liberaMy until an equipoise can be cbtained and they prefer to sac- rifice their accustomed privileges of control until times are more settled and political animosities less bitter. But on the other hand there are but few who wish to see this promising little commonwealth purely a rich man’s paradise and politically con- trolled for their especial benefit. The predilection, which is growing in strength, in favor of the principal Fea. eral officers being appointed from the mainland is not bécause we have no men of equal brain power and executive ability to those¥who might be thence selected, but because for years past the governing influence has been really drawn from one section or faction of the community and we want a change. It may be admitted that there are a few strong men in the Annexation party and In the National Republic ranks who are opposed to the Dole- Judd faction, but it is doubtful whether their influence is sufficiently strong to “catch the speaker's eye” at Washing. ton and whether, If appointed, they would. enjoy our confidence. As another illustration consider the internecine warfare in the Republican- Annexation ranks in their respective organs between the Sewall and Dole factions. The Sewallites are roundly ADVERTISEMENTS. Pears’ No soap ‘in the world is so cheap. No soap in the world is so lasting. THE SAN FRANCISCO abusing the President and his Cabinet for not placing before the Hawaiian Commission the views entertained by the Government on behalf of the coun- try as to our future form of govern- ment. How can they do so? Mr. Dole cannot be one moment chief executive of the Hawailan Cabinet and the next Mr. McKinley’s commissioner, and furthermore who and what influence do the Cabinet represent? TUntil an- nexation was accomplished they had a political following, but that has gone over almost bodily into the Sewall camp. They cannot openly advocate the plans suggested by either the plant- ers or the Chamber of Commerce for that would create disruption, and they cannot advocate a people’s policy for there is none. They are wise to be reticent and to content themselves with furnishing the commission with sta- tistical information from their bureau and present their views as indi- viduals and not as rulers. This na- turally places considerable power in the hands of Dole and Frear, but for- tunately they both bear the character of being trustful for the future inter- ests of the country rather than anxious for personal preferment. The labor problem is engaging the serious study of all and it is felt that some concessions must be made for a year or two to our sugar, rice and cof- fee industries, It is estimated that at least 10,000 more Asiatics will be re- quired to carry on these industries un- til a different class of labor can be im- ported on the share system. The Chi- nese whose three-year contracts have expired are gradually being taken on as day laborers at the improved rate of $16 a month, and the planters are doing their best to improve the condition of their laborers and preventing ill-treat- ment. The Japanese on the other is- lands have commenced suits to test the constitutionality of the labor contract laws and desertions to the coffee lands are increasing .1 numbers. STEAMER SENATOR WEATHERS A TYPHOON ‘While Returning’ From Manila the Troop Transport Puts Into Honolulu. HONOLULU, Sept. 24.—The S8enator, which was one of the troopships of the expedition, sailed from Manila Au- 24, and arrived off this port on the inst. She returned without stopping at Nagasaki because she carried coal gh for the trip. She put in here be- cause the coal was in her hold and could not be advantageously transferred to her bunkers at sea. She will remain here long enough to shift her coal, and perhaps take on some more as ballast, give her machin- ery an overhauling and clean her boilers, which have become very dirly. While in the China Sea she encountered a typhoon, probably the one that overtook the Zea- landia, and lay to for thirty-two hours She had most of the railing and every thing movable on_ her forward deck torn but suffered but little serious dam- age. gl'hfi Senator brings a number of non- oned officers and privates from teenth and Twenty-third Infan- the Third Artillery, whose term try an of enlistment had expired, though mnone of them left the ranks until after the cap- ture of Manila. The military funeral of Private W iter Johnson of Battery A, First Battalion Heavy Artillery, California Volunteers, took place on_ the 18th inst. The unfortu- nate soldier dled of tynnoid fever at the United States Hospital on the day pre- vious. The services were conducted by the army from St. Andrew’s Cathedral. There are 400 men sick at Camp McKin- ley and Camp Otis, Honolulu. hey are not i1l enough to be sent to the hospital, but are sufféring from a sort of epideniic, due, it is thought, t6 the water, The percentage of officers and men will- ing to join a Hawalian battalion of United States troops for garrison service here is so-very small that the idea has been given up. Both General Merriam and General King are in favor of keeping up the present National Guard organiza- tion. FUGITIVE.

He was landed and lodged at the police bar- racks. Upon sighting two Chinese cruigers on her way, the Bonaventure cleared for action. PEKING, Sept. 30.—An imperial de- cree was published to-day degrading Chang Yin Fouan, the opponent in the Chinese Foreign Office of Li Hung Chang. He is dismissed from all his offices and banished to Ili, a district of Chinese Turkestan. LONDON, Sept. 30.—The correspond- ent of the Globe at Hongkong says Kang Yuwei, the Cantonese reformer, in - interviews since his escape from Peking, sald he fled because the Emperor informed him of a plot to de- pose him, and kill the reform leaders. His Majesty, the former leader added, wanted Kang Yuwel to escape while there was time for him to do so, and commissioned him to endeavor to ob- tain protection for the Emperor and for the empire.

ONE MEMORIAL REFUSED IT APPEALED POINTEDLY TO THE UNITED STATES. Asked That Before Annexation Was Carried Out the Natives Be Consulted by a Plebiscite. To the Editor of the San Francisco Cail: The Hawailan United States Com- missioners have finished their part of the work here, and to-day they are preparing to leave us for Washington, D. C., by the steamer Gaelle, via San Francisco. They have hardly been here two months. Dur- ing all this time they worked behind closed doors, and nobody knows yet what form of government they have decided for us. But they say it was all “cut and dried” in Washington before they came here. Senator Cullom and Representative Hitt were deceiyed by their Hawaiian col- leagues when they first came here. They were told then that during the flying of the stars and stripes all the Hawalians would submit and come in and ask to be- come United States citizens and abandon the idea of standing firm for their coun- try. With this idea they all went to the islands of Maui and Hawail and delivered speeches pefore the Hawalians, stating that the United States flag should wave over the Hawaiian lslands forever. All the Hawailans listened to fhem wherever they went, but answered nothin; The Hawaiians' in the meantime called a meeting and elected delegates in all parts of the islands and sent them to Honolulu to meet the Commissioners. They gave their answers in memorial form, which surprised the Commissioners, he an- swers are united on one most important point—the restoration of the . independ- ence of their beloved country. The only Hawailan organization which complied with the wish of the Commissioners was a new association, composed mostly of Gov- ernment officials and a few lawyers. The Kalalaina and Aloha Aina societies are for the restoration of monarchy. They claimed that United States Minister Stev- ens, with the aid of naval forces, the crulser Boston, overthrew the monarchy on Junlmr?’ 7, 1893, and placed the Dole oligarchy In power. This important fact is undisputed. At last come the Hui Kaulana o Leahi with a memorial protesting against the annexation of Hawali to the United States and asking that a plebiscite be taken by the United States to d e the fate of ‘Hawaii. But the Commissioners refused to receive or listen to the desire of this socl This is a gross blunder on the part of the Commissioners, as this soclety composed of the fHower of the Hawallan people, and most of them are those who participated in the revolution of January, 1895, against the Dole oli- garchy and to restore the true Hawailan Government. And they are the favorites of the Hawallans. The following is the memorial which the Commissioners refused to receive from the Hui Kaulana o Leahi: MEMORIAL, To the Presidgnt, the Congress and the Peopls of the United States of America: We, an organization formed under the title of “Hul Kaulana o Leahi, by those who par- ticipated in the revolution of Jamuary 6 ana 7 D. 1895, whose object was to restore the independence of our country, do hereby re- spectfully submit the following memoria through your commissioners, Senator S. M. Culiom, chairman; Senator John T. Morgan, Representative Robert R. Hitt, Hon. §. B. Dole and Judge W. 8. Frear, to be embodied in your report: Whereas, The legal_and constitutional Na. tional Government of Hawall was, on the 17th day of January, A. D handful of foreign and abetted by the United Resident Stevens, lawful protection of the United States naval forces, landed from the United States warship Whereas, the sald overthrow of the Hawallan Government would never have taken place without this criminal armed pressure of this same Minister Stevens; Whereas, Our constitutional soverefgn only ceded to the force of the United States war- States under the direct and un- Ministes ship, under pr and resigned, not into the hands of the ¢ rators, but unto the United States Government, on whose equity she fully relied, and to whose honesty she appealed for redress; Whereas, The so-called Hawellan Republic, which succeeded, was merely an oligarchy of usurpers, which' has never been legalized by any appéal to the people at large, but, on the contrary, relied solely for its support on paid foreign” mercenary soldiers and on the sham and mockery of a parliament elected by a fraction only, a minority of 2000 electors, care- fully chosen ‘out of the total of 16,000 men le- gally regisicred and entitled to civil rights and %0 the ecercise of the political vote, who wera brutally and unjustly debarred of their rights acquired after more than fifty years of peaceful exercise; Whereas, The Hawallan Republic never rep- resented the real Hawalian population, and has never been recognized by them nor empowered to_act or negotiate in thelr name and behalf; ‘Whereas, The treaty of annexation submitted to the United States: Government by the usurpers, who owe their position and power to Minister Stevens’ crime, does mot emanate from the Hawaifan peopie and was never sub- mitted to their approval through thelr legal voters or their duly elected representatives, but was passed upon merely by a mercenary Par- liament elected by the afore mentioned minor- ity of arbitrarily chosen voters, nearly all for- eigners; Vhereas, The Hawailan people have no wish or desire for annexation to the United States of America, but do prefer the independence of their beloved country, under their own legal and constitutional government, chosen by the rule of the ballot and by the majority of all the men entitled to vote; Whereas, The United States Congress has been deceived by thé misrepresentations and illegal assumptions of the self-chosen rulers of the said misnamed Hawalian Republic; Whereas, The constitution and laws of the United States Republic are justly ‘‘for the people, by the peopls,” whereby the annexa- tion of this country 'of Hawall ought to be made for the people through the people and by the people, and not in the interest and at the demand of a class or clique, and ought to_be submitted to and approved by the whole of the Hawallan D0¥ulltlon; Wherens, The sald annexation under the Newlands joint resolution has been made in violation of the constitutions of hoth countries (United States and Hawailan Republic); Thereforg, We, legal citizens and duly quaii- fled_voters of Hawail, in meeting assembled, on _the 19th day of September, A. D, 1§W: First—Do hereby protest against annexation to the United States ns now obtained under false pretenses through the Newlands joint resolution, because this annexation comstituted only an act of oppression and piracy, commit- ted unwittingly by a great and powerful ma- tion over & weak and defenseless one, and is equivalent to recetving stolen goods, Whereby an everlasting stain will be thrown on the glory and honor of America. Becond-=We emphatically appeal to the United States Congress and to the United States people at large, for redress against this unjust annexation; we appeal for equity; we appeal as a helpless and frfendly nation to the honor, the justice, the magnanimity and friend- ship of the Congress and people of the United States of America, and ask that, before this annexation is definitely consummated, we, all men with civil rights, be consuited by ple- biscite; and in the event of this being for the ative, that we be allowed to select our own legal national constitutional government, under CALL, the magnanimous protection of the United States. Respectfully yours, JOHN L. LANS, ROBERT W. WILCOX, LOT K. LANS, J. W. BIPIKANS, JOHN MAHUKA, Committee. Honolulu, Hawaifan Islands, Sept. 20, 1598. The people of the United States ought to console the Hawailans, who are their friends, by ordering Congress to repeal the Newlands joint resolution and restore the independence of the Hawaliian Islands, according to the method set forth IE; the above memorial. Thus the United States will relieve itself from a grave responsi- bility. The United States only needs here & coaling station, which can be easily ob- tained from the Hawalians themselves by a treaty. The selection may be left to the United States to choose any part she wants on any island. Pearl Harbor may be put in the treaty and place United States jurisdiction over it at once, and that will settle the only need of tne United States here. All the Kuropean powers, also_Japan, are willing to_join with the United States to guarantee Hawali to be a neutral state as generally understood. Yours trul . R. W. WILC September 23, Honolulu, H.

RACING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC BUT THE FLEEING WOMAN HAS THREE DAYS’ STARL. Romance of the Klondike in Which an Honest Yukon Miner Has Been Cleverly Duped. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Mrs. Charles Van Alstine, the “bride of the Klondike,” who walked out of St. Mark’'s Hospital with $48,100 belonging to her husband, as was telegraphed to The Call, has been solved. Mrs. Van Alstine is a passenger, under an as- sumed name, on the White Star line steamer Majestic, which is due to ar- rive at Liverpool to-morrow. Plowing the ocean only three days behind the Majestic is the steamer Umbria of the Cunard line and which is due to arrive two days later than the ‘White Star ship. Pacing the deck of thhe Umbria is a tall, weather-beaten miner, who made Mrs. Van Alstine his wife three months ago and trusted her with the proceeds of his labors in the gold fields of the Klondike. He met his bride while he was traveling down the Yukon River on his way to San Fran- cisco, where he proposed to invest 340,600, the proceeds of his interest in a valuable claim in the Klondike. Mrs. Van Alstine told him she was from San Francisco and had been to the gold flelds to look over the ground to see whether her money, of which she had a little, could not be profitably invested there. The courtship was very brief, and before the steamer reached her destination Van Alstine had taken her as his wife. When he L had changed his nuggets into drafts he had them made out in his wife's name. TI'rom San Francisco the couple came to this city, where, as told in The Call, they cbiained apartments in the Hoff- man ‘House and devoted their time to joying their honeymoon. O hen Mrs. Van Alstine fell 1l Now her husband says that this was only a subterfuge to get away from him and complete her plans, and she insisted upon going to the hospital. She was placed in St. Mark’s Hospital, as a pri- vate patient, but remoined there only one night, leaving alone on the follow- ing morning. Van Alstine had a stern, determined look on his face when he stood on the deck of the Umbria last Saturday. He expressed himself as thoroughly satisfied that he had been the victim of a scheme concocted by a clever woman for the purpose of get- ting possession of his money, and stated that he believed there were others in the game with her. e SANTA CRUZ PROTESTS. Circuit Court Decision That Angers the Taxpayers. SANTA CRUZ, Sept. 30.—There 1s much indignation as well as astonishment here over the decision in favor of plaintiff in the refunding bond suit brought in the United States Circuit Court agafnst the city. Such a strong defense was made by the city that people were certain a verdict would be given in its favar, Tt is thought here, in the absefice of the full opinion of the court, that the judgment. only affects about two-thirds of the issue of_ the refunding bonds or about $200,000. Mayor Lamb, who was Simply astounded when he learned of the dec&lon, says he will call a meeting of taxpayers to consider what further steps should be taken.

READY T0 FIX ON THE FATE OF HAWAII Commissioners Home From the Islands. NO WORD OF FUTURE PLANS WILL PROBABLY BE MADE A TEREITORY. Another Session Will Be. Held, and Then the Bill Will Go to Congress. [ The Hawalian Commlssion, or those members whe were appointed from this country, arrived from the islands on the Gaelic yesterday morning. The commission has completed its work at Honolulu and it has n-w to prepare a form of government for the islands that will fit the needs of the people and the situation of the country. | Senator Shelby M. Cullom, chairman of the commission, Senator John T. Morgan and Congressman Robert R. Hitt formed the delegation which ar- rived yesterda They will proceed to ‘Washington with as little delay as pos- sible, and there they will be joined by Judge Frear of the Hawaiian Supreme Court and probably by President Dole, the two island members, and a confer- ence will be held. It is hoped to be able to submit a bill to Congress as soon es it opens, and for that reason the commissioners are losing no time in their work. Of what they have seen and heard the commissioners are not averse to talking, but about what plans they have discussed for the future govern- ment of the islands they remain dis- creetly silent. They are in favor of a Territorial form of government; but there are many details which must be provided for to suit the conditions ex- isting, and It is these which are most interesting and these that the commis- sioners will not discuss. “We have done a great deal of work in the short time were in the is- lands,” said Senator Cullom yester- day, “but when we got there we found that the two island commissioners had arranged for everything and they were so familiar with every phase of the question and with the conditions exist- ing at the islands that the work went along rapidly. We were anxious to get through and sometimes sat all the evening after being in session all day. We hope to have our report ready to present to Congress as soon as it meets in December next, and we have no time to lose. “We visited all the islands of the group and made ourselves thoroughly familiar with the whole situation. We received the most courteous treatment from every one, and so we managed to do all that was necessary in the month we stayed there. The natives do not yet realize that annexation is a permanent thing. They expect that with the changing of the administra- tion the flag will be pulled down again and the.old order of things will rule once more. They say 1t was so once— when the flag was first raised over the islands, and they are living in the hope that the same thing will happen again. “The island Government i{s running smoothly just now, and it will do very well until Congress shall have enacted new laws to fit the conditions of the islands. We will have to consider a great many things, and there will have to be many special statutes. As a Territory, Congress can enact such laws for the new possession as it wishes; it has not the right of self- government that belongs to a State, and so we may make such local laws as we please and as the situation de- mands.” The commissioners found the labor question as grave a one as any, but they do not seem to think there is much danger to the laboring classes here from the compétition of the coolles of the islands. The Chinese the com- missioners found second to the Japan- ese question, but In either case they say the laws of the United States will keep coolfe and contract labor out of the islands, and so it cannot harm this country. As to the Chinese and Ja- panese already there on contract, Con- gressman Hitt says they must all go home as soon as their contracts ex- pire. “It is part of the contract,” said Mr. Hitt, “that they leave the country as soon as their contract expires unless they make another contract. = They must deposit money with the Govern- ment to take them back, too, and the law can easily be enforced. If they are under contract they cannot leave their work on the islands, and if they must go back to China when their con- tract expires I do not see how they can get to this country. They are trying now to restrict the immigration of Ja- panese by rigidly enforcing the pauper law. Every Japanese must have at least $50 to show when he comes to 1and. Recently there were 700 shipped back to Japan, not because they had not the $§50, but because it was found that each man had been given the OF INTEREST - TO BUYERS.

Speclal Dispatch to The Call STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 30. —Coach Cross arrived to-day on the noon train. He was accompanied from San Francisco by Captain Fisher, Man- ager Prichard and Acting Treasurer Berry and was met at the station by a large crowd of enthusiastic students who escorted him to the campus. Cross’ reception was no less hearty from the members of the faculty, with whom he is very popular. Coach Cross went to work at once, appearing on the fleld for the game be- tween the Washington Volunteers and the Stanford men. He watched the game closely and coached the men in their play. In speaking of the game he sald that there was lots of good ma- terial on hand from which to work up a good team. He will first begin to de- velop the line men. Harry P. Cross was graduated from Yale with the class of '96. While in college he played first as guard on Yale’s second eleven against Hickok and McCrea, and later as center against Stillman. When Stillman was gradu- ated Cross stepped into his place on the Yale "varsity of '95, which was victori- ous over Princeton by a score of 20—10. Mr. Cross was born in Wakefield, Rhode Island. He received his prepar- atory school education at St. Pauls, Concord, New Hampshire. He began his football career in this school, hav- ing played in one of the club teams. In 1892 he entered Yale at the age of nineteen, pursuing the classical course n the academic department. Stanford’s coach has also won a repu- tation in other branches of athletics. As a hammer-thrower he has won laurels. During his entire college course he was a member of the Yale track team. He represented Yale with the hammer in the contest with the Cambridge team and also the New York Athletic Club In the All-America vs. All England field games. His rec- ord in this event is 135 feet. He has made 142 feet, however, in practice. The honor of being voted the second best athlete at Yale was bestowed on Mr. Cross before his graduation, Cap- | tain Sheldon Of. the track team being declared the best athlete. Mr. Cross is a member of the Psi Upsilon fra- ternity. Since leaving Stanford two years ago after the 20—0 game was won and the big scores made possible by the im- pregnable line which he developed, he entered Harvard law school, where he is now doing work. The first 'varsity game was played this afternoon with the First Washing- ton Volunteers. In the second haif the second eleven were put up against the soldiers. The final score showed 22 to 0 in favor of Stanford. FIRE ABOARD THE FLAGSHIP PHILADELPHIA Promptly Discovered, However, and Quenched Before Serious Dam- age Was Done. HONOLULU, Sept. 23.—While the Phila- delphia_was returning from her practice cruise day before yesterday fire was dis- covered in one of her coal bunkers when off Walanae. Immediately orders wers iven and the work of extinguishing it egan. The fire had not much headway and about an hour's work made it cer- tain that all was well again. The fire, it is understood, was discov- ered by means of the thermostats placed in different parts of the vessel to indicate and signal when an undue temperature exists anywhere. After the arrival of the flagship in port the bunker in which the fire broxe out was _entirely emptied and thoroughly cleaned. An examination of all the co: bunkers and every part of the ship has been made. The fire was discovered so promptly and made so little headway that only about a ton of coal was burned. No cause for the fire is known, but it is supposed to: have been from spontaneous combustion. —_——————— TRAGIC PRACTICAL JOKE. One Young Man Kills Another atf Burns, Or. BURNS, Or., Sept. 30.—On Wednesday night Jack Weaver shot and killed Wil- liam McKinnon, aged 21. McKinnon and a companion attempted to play a joke on Weaver by leading him out of a sal though he needed to be escorted home. Just as they reached the door Weaver drew his revolver and shot McKinnon.

The fis- landers think less of the shipping in- terests than they do here, however, for already the commissioners have re- ceived from the Chamber of Commerce of this city a petition asking that Ha- waii be brought under the shipping laws of the United States. The peti- tlon was presented tot Senator Cul- lom yesterday. It is expected that there will be a long and heated discussion over the uestion when it finally comes up be- ‘ore Congress, for the creating of new governments is something Congress is not used to, and there are so many points to furnish food for debate. “But it is not as if it were a strange people,” said Congressman _ Hitt. “These people are Americans and their Government is modeled after ours and their desire is to join the Union of States. It will be much harder when it comes to erning other territory recently acquired.” limbs, T Kianeys.
