2 'SOME HAWAIIAN HISTORY IT SHOWS THE EMPTINESS OP GIB SON'S TALK. The United States Has Twice Refused To Assume a Protectorate Over the Little Pacific Kingdom. the New York Neir*. “I seti by the Sun Francisco dispatches this morning,'’ remarked a gentleman well acquainted with Hawaiian affairs, yester day, “that Walter Murray Gibson, the ex Premier, hints mysteriously that tlie United Statos government has designs on the islands. I believe he also said that this government would not take kindly to the recent changes in the little sea-girt king dom. This last statement, I think, is influ enced solely by personal reasons. So far as tjio designs of the United Stoles government on Hawaii aro concerned there is no need for mystery; they are appareut and easily accounted for. “In the first place, the Hawaiian Islands are situated nearly in the centre of the Pa cific, and therefore would make on excellent coaling and supply station for Pacific naval squadrons, particularly those of the Euro pean powers, who have now only the Asiatic coast to depond upon in that respect. Even there the privilege hangs upon the slim thread of international friendship. In case of war with Asiatic couutrV's the base of supplies would be removed to remote and inconvenient stations. The European pow ers, particularly England and Germany, were not slow in perceiving the advantages the islands would afford, and as far back as lßsti, long before the United States govern ment dreamed of interesting itself in that direction, these powers sought to gnin a foothold on the islan Is. “Variouscircumstances interfered with these schemes of annexation until about fifteen years ago, when the fight for )>ossex sion began in downright earnest. The sugar iadu try of Hawaii began to attract ltd n tion ats .it that time, and Germany sent out large numbers of laUirers to work on the plantations. This was clearly for the pur]-ose of establishing German interests in the king lorn, to afford a pretext for de cisive action should any slight difficulty occui between the laborers and planters The 11 uivenient proximity of the islands t > the United States, however, proved a na tural and simple bar to Germany’s project of colonisation. With the development of the sugar industry came an mllux of American capitalists and artisans that soon overwindmeJ, in numbers and monetary in vestments, nil other foreign elements. Ger many then wisely drew out of the struggle. “England, however, was blind ton!! but her own interests, which ranked next to those of the United States in a commercial point of view. With the death of King Lunalilo the throne became vacant, ns there wore no direct heirs. The election of a nevv rulej- wgs, of course, necessary. Kalakaua and Queen Emma, widow of Kamehamena IV., were the only available eandidat s. Kaiakaiut favored the American interests, because he saw the commercial advantage of friendly- relations with the nearest for eign power. Queen Emma, however, was susceptible to the flattering advances of the English residents, who had foreseen .just, such an opportunity and had bu m preparing for it. Thinking that Queen Emma w-us the most popular with the natives, mid there fore more likely to ho elected sovereign in the event of King Lunal lo’s death, they brought their influence to bear upon her to such a degree that she upheld British inter ests to tin exclusion of ail others. “W ell, a week or two prior to the day an nounced tor the election two English meu of-war arrived in port, and had it not been for the timely arrival of the United States steamer Portsmouth and the prompt action if Commander Belknap the result of the Jiot which followed King Kulaknu’s election the throne would hnvobeen fur different. The English naval forces took no part in quelling the disturbance, and when the riot ing was fiercest the officers of the two Brit ish vessels were consulting with Queen Em ;ua at her residence on Beretaniu (Brit iu street. That attempt proved a failure, owing to the determined stand taken by Commander Belkmip, but nearly three years later the Admiral of the British fleet per fornied a coup that for boldness lias not since been equaled. “Taking ml vantage of an opportunity when there were no United States vessels in those waters, he sailed into the harbor of Honolulu, with colors; flying, hauled down the Hawaiian (lag, and annexed the islands in the name of his Queen. Measures were at once tukon to establish the jxwition which had been assumed by the English govern ment, anil for two months or more the royal cross of St. George floated from the King’s palace and Aluolani Ilulle. There hail not been even Ibe pretense ol an excuse for this breach of international comity, and native.; and foreign residents alike were indignant over the outrage. “News of the affair was sent as soon as possible tojthe United States government. Admiral Porter, who eommandod the Pa cific squadron of the United States naval forces, was in Peruvian waters at the time, but as soon us he received word of the an nexation he set sail immediately for Hono lulu without waiting for orders from Wash ington. About two months after the British exploit Admiral Porter arrived at Honolulu and compelled the British Admiral to Imul down the English Hag and beat .1 hasty and undignified retreat, under penalty of an im mediate naval engagement. The Hawaiian colors were then hoisted amid great rejoic ings and the reins of the government were restored to the King. The United States fovcrnnient promptly approved Admiral ’oi ter’s action, and from that day forward took an enlarged interest in Hawaiian af fairs. The treaty of reciprocity followed, but that wasn’t enough. The annexation incident was too forcible a reminder of the advantages of the island to be overlooked. On two different occasions, as I know from the records of the Hawaiian Foreign Office which I hnve seen, the Hawaiian gov eminent offered the United States n pro.ee toratoover the islands. Not caring to as sume the responsibilities of such a position the United (States government declined both offers, but began negotiat ions for t he estab lishment of a coaling, supply, and repair station on the island of Oahu, near Hono lulu. The result of three- negotiations was the Pearl river harbor bill, which was nre sonted to Congress last year and placed on file. Among the arguments advanced in favor of the bill was the need of a station more convenient to the vessels of the Pacific squadron. As it is now Han Francisco is the nearest point for them, and for the ships stationed in Asiatic waters it is altog-'lher too far for them to go for repairs and pro visions. The islands would lie a central and convenient location for all. Then, too, the entire Pacific coast is wholly unprotoep'd ill the way of fortilications, and this makes the necessity of strong naval protection very apparent. “This I believe, includes the sum and sub stance of the designs of the United States upon the Hawaiian Islands. Now for Gib son and his assertion of our displeasure at the change of Kalakaua's Cabinet. Gib son’s influenco over tlio King was jiara wount at all times, and he was enough of a schemer to take advantage of it to further his own ends. During his incumbency- as Premier he sought every means to advance American interests in the kingdom, and it was upon his advice that the protectorate was 1 wioe offered to the United {States. His scheme was to secure the annexation of the island., by us and then, as a reward for his services in that direction, he looked for ward to being ultimately appointed Gov ernor of the island. Of course those high aims of his ore now hopelessly destroyed “Why the United Htatos should entertain any objection to the change in the Cabinet is more than I can say, unless iMxi that the now cabinet is likely to oppose the Pearl Biver Harbor project. That is not. very probable, though, os the new government is 1 composed entirely of Americans, and they j belong to a party in which the American I 'lament Dmlouiiuutea” SPINNERS IN COUNCIL. Support of Strikers the Main Ques tion Under Consideration. Kali, River, Mass., Aug. 9. —Tho largest meeting of tho Spinners’ Union for many months was hold to-night to decide whether to support the striking spinners at the mills of the American Linen and Mechanics’ Cor porations. and‘whether to authorize a strike at all the mills where grievances ex ist. The meeting was in session over three hours. The proposition occasioned a long debate. The union voted to sustain the strike on condition that in the settlement of the existing troubles the strikers abide the decision of the Executive Committee on the question of a general strike at the mills, where special grievances of hard work and low wages exist. It was not.ieeablo that a great change in tho feeling of the spinners hod taken place the past week. Last Tues day night deputations from u dozen mills were In-fore the executive committee clamoring for permission to strike. To-night several of these same spinners wore willing to try and get along for a while longer under existing aireumstanees without a strike. This change is due to the fact that in several of the mills changes have been made in the speed of the ma chines and the mills now run slower, thus making the work of the spinners easier. It was decided to leave the matter in the hands of the Executive Committee who are authorized to order a strike at any mill where they aro of the opinion that special grievances exist. It is reported that an understanding has lieen readied with the American Linen Mill officials, by- which their spinners are to go to work Monday. NON-UNION MEN ATTACKED. Two Mon Fatally anil Flftoon Others Severely Injured. WILKESBARRK, Pa., Aug. !).—Yesterday fifty striking miners of tho Alden Coal Company, near this city, attacked thirty men who had taken their places in tiio Al den mines. Many women also took part in the light. Michael Christ and Jacob Horton, two “scabs,” were fatally injured. Their assailants, Andrew Hpilow, Andrew Nowark and John Konof ltonowski wore arrested this morning. The fight lasted half an hour. The women assaulted the “scabs” with fence rails ami their husbands used stones and pistols. The women carried 11 banner inscribed:'“Down with the scabs who took the bread out of our mouths.” Fifteen per sons were wounded on both sides, hut only the two mentioned will die of their inju ries. Alabama’s Knights. Mobile, Aug. 9. —The second day of the Knights of Labor session was devoted to hearing charges of insubordination and re bellion preferred by Grand Chief Mentor Moses Dickinson against Hir Knight J. VV. Wheeler and D. L. Martin. Chief Mentor then made his annual address, advocating (lie formation of State grand lodges of the order.

Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 9. About S o’clock to-night a galo swept over the city, the wind blowing at the rate of a mile a minute. The May building and several minor structures on the State fair grousds at Cold Spring Park were completely wrecked. Six men who wore in them miraculously escaped injury. A heavy ruin fell lasting an hour. Advices received at the railway offices indi cate that the rain is pretty general through out the State, putting an end to the drought that lias lasted fur sixty days and that has causes! thousands of dollars in losses to the formers. * A ROOF FALLS IN. Six Men Have a Narrow Escape From Death in An Opera House. Sprin-kik.ld, 111., Aug. 9.—Tho roof of Chaterton’s I )jieru House fell in this after noon, carrying a huge amount of debris into the centre of tho buildiug. Tho building w-as remodeled in 1879, and cost over $50,- 000. Six men were in the building at the time, but escaped by getting upon the stage. The architects and builders say the accident was duo to the extreme heat and dry weather, which shrunk the limbers and loosened the fastenings, thus destroying tho tension of the structure. . A CURIOUS COINCIDENCE. Lieut. Darr and the Wife of Lieut. Totten Leave West Point Together, /•’re 111 the Ne ir York Herald. Societv at West Point has lost two of its leading lights, and in a manner that bus set all the gossips’ tongues wagging. It may Vie merely a coincidence that these two went awajr together. In that close community known as “The Post” 110- Imdy “would dream of saying a word” about it, Imt they shake their heads ominously and shrug their shoulders, as if comment was either superfluous or entirely inadaquute. All because a dashing Lieutenant hap pened to leave by the same train as the wire of another Lieutenant not quite so dashing. It was a curious coincidence and that may bo all there is to it. Lot the facts speak for themselves. The twain both belong to military fami lies of renown. The lady is Mrs. Totten, wife of Lieut. John N. Totten, assistant in structor in the department of modern lan guages, and a son of GOll. Totten, lilts. Totten is the da tighter of John D. Townsend, of New York, and a sister of the wife of Lieut. Fremont. The gentleman is Lieut. Darr, son of Gen. Francis A. I.)nrr, who recently discovered the double life being led bv Ki-sune out in California. The Lieuten ant is assistant instructor in military tac tic* at West Point, and both he and Lieut. Totten are graduates of West Point, I>nrr graduating in 1880 and Totten two years earlier. THE NOTE-HEARING ORDERLY. Lieut. Totten is not what one might call a lady's man, while lent. Darr most decidedly is. Mix. Totten is n (xitito plum]) brunette, full of health and spirit*). Ever since Darr came to the post, in 1885 the two have been on very friendly terms. This intimacy in creased during the past year, if one might Judge from the number of notes carried over by the gentleman’s orderly with strict Injunctions to plai-e them in Ntrs. Totten's own hands or else bring them back. The two men were always friendly and it is only the gossips who say that tho hus band some time ugo ordered his wife not to receive the dashing lieutenant, any more, and that she iudlgnantlv refused. After this vague “some time ago,” tho bachelor and the wife wer > often seen crossing the ferry togetlier or out driving, Hnd tho note carry ing orderly w-as still kept busy under the same instructions ns liefore. Then Lieut. Tnttenuppliad for leave of absence to visit his mother at New London who is sick. His wifi* did not go. And now for the strange coincidence. On Sunday a week ogj Lieut. Darr nud Mrs. Totten drove down to the West Shore depot together and left on the 5:81! train for the city. This it is that started all tho un favorable rumors about them. HE RESIGNS lira COMMISSION. Lieut. Dsrr’s disappearance from West Point was snddon and unexpected enough to start no end of talk, apart from tho fact, that a pretty woman left with him. But certain foots harp since come to light which show that it was premeditated so far as he was concerned. During the week lie quiet ly cleared out his tent and sold most or his effects to Kohler, the toucher of gymnastics. He also sold to him his high stepping grey horse nnd his buggy. And lie gave strict orders that certain of his wardrobe was to TTTE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1887. lie ready by Friday. Then on Saturday ho applie ! to Col. Ilasbrouck, the acting super intendent of the post, for leave of anseuee. The Colonel replied that thqy were very short of officers. Moreover, there was a court martial coming on which would still further reduce their force, nnd therefore lie could not then grant the leave. On tlie Sunday the Lieutenant i ->k French leave, and the next his Colonel heard of him was from New York, from whicli ho dated his formal resignation, with a request for leave of absence until such titii" a< it should be accepted. Then the leave of alisenee was gran test, ns in due time will his accompany ing application for leave to resign. A MERE COINCIDENCE. Col. Hasbrouck said there could not possi bly be any truth in the unfavorable stories flouting about the post. Cortamlx Lieut. Darr had leu quite friendly with Mrs. Tot ten for some time, but tho fact of their !•‘living tho camp together was a mere co incidence. Mrs. Totten’s little girl was si k and the doctor bad advised her that she must take it awry from West Point Mrs. Totten hnd left in consequence to visit her home in Ms aehusetts. Post Surgeon Smith corroborated this statement with the exception of the healt h giving location the lady had sought for her chiid. He visited her 011 tho day she left nnd told her that ihe infant, was so sick that she must get away from West Point with it as soon as possible. He heard tho next morning t hat she had left, and believed, from his conversation with her, that she had gone to Summit, N. J. There were others who suggest that. Mrs. Totten has gone to Newport, but no one seems to know definitely where she is. When she left Sunday afternoon she took with her three large trunks and a baby ear ringo, which would naturally indicate that she intended to be away some time. But she did not tk6 her maid, a discreet young damsel who has no knowledge whatever of tier mistresses’ movements to give to tho publie. To the fact that she happened to go in the same carriage as Lieut Darr no importance whatever can be attached. The officers have a kind of contract with Liv ery Stableman Denton, and when notice is given of parties going to the depot he runs his carriage round and picks up one hero and one there, just as tjie herdies in Wash ington do. THE BABY PLAYS A PART. But there was a curious little incident tlmt occurred at the West Shore depot. Station Agent Farrell cheeked the Lieuten ant's five valises and the ladies tlnis* trunks, and then got the baby carriage. He said, “I cannot check that, sir.” “Cannot check it, why I” asked the Lieu tenant, with a sudden flush. The baby in the arms of Mrs. Totten at this moment commenced to cry. “If you will put your name on it I will put it in the van as freight and ” “Oh, no! I—we shall have a carriage to moot us at Weeliawken,” hurriedly and om baria-sedly replied tho Lieutenant. Then he added, “Well put it on anyway.” So by a strange coincidence Lieut. Tot ten's wife and his dashing brother Lieuten ant, who had paid her so much attention for over a year, happened to leave on the saino train for the same destination. And the baby nnd the baby carriage went too.

Nashville Disbanded, Memphis Totter ing—The League in Extremis. Base ball in the South is a thing of the past. Once there was a flourishing league playing to profitable gats receipts in eight Southern cities, but base ball is not a game that appeals strongly to the sport lover of the South. It is not his kind of sport. So the clubs have been suffering heavy losses since the novelty of the thing wore off and now they are sick unto death. Last year there were eight clubs in the Southern I /•■ague and most of them made money, but this year only six entered the field: New Orleans, Mobile, Savannah, Charleston, N:nhvilie and Memphis. It was not long after the season opened before it became known that the public was not at all interested in the games, and it was not a matter of doubt for vho gate receipts relieved it of ail uncertainty. Still the league struggled on and attempted to keep up the games, but Mobile ran out of money and ceased to exist. Tlmt was not. encouraging, but then Birmingham announced that it. would come in. That gave rise to anew hope, but just as Birmingham perfected its organization Savannah dissolved ami that again acted as a damper. The league, however, continued to play the five remaining clubs, hut sill of them except New Orleans were losing heavily and steadily, and ut but few of the games did the gate receipts equal the amount of the guarantee. Nashville and Memphis failed to pay their July dues when they became payable on July 10, hut, President Morrow was lenient with them and permitted the matter to run on until about Aug. 1, when lie is sued a notice that if they were uot paid on or l>efore Aug. 0 the franchises of both clubs would be taken away. The Gtli came, and Memphis after making a desperate effort succeeded * n remitting by telegraph in time to save their franchise, but Nash ville is no more. All efforts were fruitless. The club's backers lind sunk $lO,OOO, and did pot propose to sink any more, and the franchise was revoked and the players re leased. Memphis is tottering, Ilcr August dues should be paid today, and as she was unable to make the July payment before Aug. G, it is doubtful whether she will be able to make the August remittance at all, in fact, the friends of the club virtually ad mit thut it cannot play the season out. However, it does not seem probable that Memphis will lie colled upon to continue nlnylng ns the indications are that, the league will go to pieces. President Morrow a snort time since advised the Charleston jieople to sell their franchise to the league for $.3,000, which was offered. They were 1 mil headed ami refused. Since then they have lost about $3,000. Birmingham is losing $lOO every day and tlio Memphis club is on its last legs. New Orleans has bail Sunday games, which have kept li< r team out of the straits. Taken nil in all, tbe season of I ss~ bus been a disastrous one to the South, the league losing, at a reason able estimate, at least $50,000. Atlanta lias l>een tooting a great big tin horn over the announcement that she had signed some crack players for next year, but Atlanta ss>ni(>d to forget that she had not done auythiilg of the sort, because, under the national agreement, she couldn't. Be sides, if the agreement had permitted her to do so, all the club would he able to do next year would lie to play against the local teams, and there is not much money in that. Atlanta has made her spurt in base ball just as the darling game petered out, but At lanta can now sit back and say what a club sh>> would have bad if the Southern Loaguo had not exploded.
