BRITAIN Elli HAWAII.
English Government Has Yet No Opin-
ion as to Annexation.
'TO AWAIT DEVELOPMENTS.
Still Hopes, Apparently, That the Treaty
Will Fail -— Japan’s Protest to the
United States —— What Hawaiians
In \Vashington Have to Say.
London, June 25.—Mr. E. W. Beckett,
Conservative member for the Whitby
division of Yorkshire, North Riding, in
the house of commons this evening ask-
ed Mr. G. N. Curzon, parliamentary
secretary for foreign affairs, to state
whether the government is aware that
Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii was de-
posed from her throne by a small body
of Americans, who, without right or
title, assumed the sovereignty of Ba-
waii, and now, to save themselves from
the resentment of the people, have re—
quested the United States government
to annex the islands. He also asked
whether Great Britain proposes to al-
low this mont important coaling station
on the direct route betWeen Vancouver
and Sydney to pass into the hands of
the United States without protest or
remonstrance. - -
Mr. Curzon said her majesty’s gov-
ernment did not feel called upon to ex-
press an opinion relative to the circum-
stances out of which the present situa-
tion in Hawaii had arisen. The gov—
ernment was aware that a proposal to
annex Hawaii to the United States had
been submitted by the president of the
United States for the consideration of
the Unifid States senate, but no de-
cision had been reached. Mr. Curzon
added that it would be the object of her
majesty’s government to see that what—
ever rights, according to international
law, belong to Great Britain and to
British subjects are fully maintained.
Japan’s Protest.
Washington, June 25.-—The gist of the
protest of Japan to Hawaiian annex—
ation read to the senate committee on
foreign relations is as follows:
The acquisition of Hawaii by annex-
ation to the United States would de-
prive the resident Japanese in the is—
lands of rights to which they are
entitled under the present treaty
with Hawaii. At present there are
25,000 Japanese in the islands with
large property rights, and under the
present conditions they are entitled to
become citizens of Hawaii. In case of
annexation these Japanese could not
become citizens of the United States, as
the decisions of United States circuit
courts are to the effect that no Asiatic
can become a citizen of'the United
States. By annexation the Japanese
now resident in Hawaii would be sub-
ject to any measures that might be
adopted by the United States. They
would lose the right to become citizens
and to vote, and the large interests
owned by Japanese citizens in the is-
lands would be greatly jeopardized.
Therefore the Japanese government
must firmly protest against the pro~
posed annexation.
Hawaiians in Washington insist that
the reasons for the protest of Japan
against annexation is that Japan really
desires to acquire the islands herself.
The main point of contention between
Japan and Hawaii over the treaty be-
tween them, it is learned, Is as to the
wording of the treaty, which Hawaii
seeks to abrogate. This treaty has a
provision that it “may be terminated
at any time by mutual consent.” This
is construed by the Japanese govern-
ment to mean that the treaty cannot
be terminated without the consent of
both governments, and as long as Ja-
pan insists upon keeping it in force it
cannot be abrogated. The Hawaiian
contention is that the words have no
such meaning and that any contract or
agreement can be dissolved by mutual
consent, as a. matter of course; that if
the claim of Japan was valid the treaty‘
would be in effect permanently.
Princess Entertains the Poor.
London, June 25.—-The Princess of
Wales’ jubilee dinners to the poor to-

Prince of Wales, Princess Victoria of
Wales and Prince and Princess Charles

New Ybrk, June 25.—-—Collector James

“My hquand has had catarrh for a

much breakfast. He got a bottle of

beneficial eti'ects: his throat seems
all clear in the morning, and he is able
to retain his breakfast. I take the

been greatly benefited by California

Reported Cumin. . ~i- .; of t.:..cago and
I’l:iiad.-thia .‘tiecrntvs.
Chicago, June L5.—~';‘h-;> ’i‘izzzes-'Ierald
says today: “The long: cherished plan
of Charles '1‘. Yerkes, the Street railway
magnate, to manufacture all machinery
needed by street railroads in Chicago,‘
New York, Philadelphia and Pi.tsburg
has at last been realized. The Siemens-
Haskell Electric company, with its big
factory in Chicago, is now being con-
solidated with the Pennsylvania Iron
works of Philadelphia. A majority of
the stock of the Chicago company has
already been exchanged for the stock
of the Pennsylvania. The minority
stockholders have been given 60 days
in which to. accept the offer of the east—
ern coriice'r'n.
“With a combined capital of $3,250,000
the two companies will manufacture
street railway machinery for the four
big cities. The first move of the project-
ed consolidation of the two companies
was gleaned from the results of the an-
nual meeting of the Chicago concern.
The directors elected at that meeting
were as follows: Charles T. Yerkes,
Chicago; W. L. Elkins, Jr., Philadel-
phia; R. Suydam Grant, New York;
Charles E. Yerkes, Chicago; B. W. Grist,
Philadelphia: F. W. Whitridge, New
York; W. 3‘. Butler, New York; 31‘. T.
Rice, Jr., New York; Martin Mulroney,
Philadelphia. The new directors are C.
T. Yerkes, W. L. Elkins, Jr., and B. W.
Grist. The Mr. Elfin; is the son of W,
L. Elkins, sin, 'of Philadelphia. The {ii-
rectors then selected a set of officers.
headed by Charles E. Yerkes, a son of
Charles T. Yerkes of Chicago.
“Whether the name of the Chicago
concern will be dropped or changed has
not yet been decided.”
AN BXPBDITION MASSACRED.
A Part of the Force Probably Intended
to Rgconquer the Sudan.
Brussels, June 25.—La Reforms says
it learns from a good source that the
entire Dhanis expedition to the head
waters of the Nile, including Baron
Dhanis himself, has been massacred.
This is the expedition of 6.000 men or-
ganized by Baron Dhanis last year in
the Kongo Free State. The British gov-
ernment allowed a number of its Hit-us—
sa troops to join the expedition, but it
was officially denied that an Anglo—
Belgian movement had been concerted
against the Mahdists. The general im—
pression, however, was that this force
was intended to act in conjunction with
the Anglo-Egyptian expedition up the
Nile and to complete the reconqucst (if
the Sudan. In August last Baron Dhanis
was reported to have arrived at Latte.
north of the territory proper of the Kon-
go Free State, on the White Nile and
some 325 miles north of the Victoria Ny—
anza. It was then understood that the
expedition would push on northward in
the direction of Khartum.
Early in December last it was report-
ed that the expedition had met with dis-
aster and that Baron Dhanis had been
killed. Later it was authoritatively
stated that there was no ground for the
report that the baron had been killed
and that when last heard from, in Sep-
tember, he was at Stanley Falls, 600
miles from the nearest dervish forces.
