Said he: "The islands yon know are part of the. United States now, by virtare of the an nexation treaty ratified some months ago. I bare been there several yean, and was present when the annexation treaty was promulgated. Thre was? a great celebra tion over the annexation, for the people are all delighted at being under the pixn tec ion of the stars and stripes. "You have no Idea with what reirard the Kanakas, a the natives of the islands are called, look upon an American.

They consider nothing too good for him. and the result is mat there will be every courtesy extended the colonists from this country. Sugar is. of coarse, the principal prodtK-t of the island. I do not think that the throwing- of Hawaiian sugar upon the market will have any depressing- effect upon the sugar interests in the south.

Ion see the mills in Hawaii do not begin grinding until January, and by the time ineir product is placed upon tne markets we crop raised in tne south is ail sold, so that, as a matter of fact, Hawaiian sugar, gets noon the market lust in Mm to the depressing effect of a large southern stock being recently sold. Of course, sugar is raised cheaper in Hawaii than in the -south, and on that account iWeLau douhtless afford to take less for It.
