That is practically hot tied In the Hawaiian foreign office. I say a collapse is certain, because the Hawaiian race ia a weakening one. From a strength of hundreds of thousands it has dwindled down to 34,000 and ia fast growing less. Foreigners predominate, the Americans especially, ami while all are intensely pleased with the native rule, there will come a time when that rule will no longer lie with the dark-skinned friends of the United .States. The future of Hawaii, as conceded by the best minds there, is that she is to be the cross-roads Gibraltar of the great Pacific, Upon the completion of cither the Nicaragua or Panama canal, Hawaii being the only land north of the equator in the direct center of all the crossing lines of commerce, she must bo ia charge of a nation with strength enough to protect the commerce.

The Chinese had not anticipated any trouble in that quarter among the Mongolian tribes, upon whom the empire has largely depended for recruits for its armies. The tribesmen are very proud, claiming descent from the great conqueror, Genghis Khan. It appears that the board of foreign affairs at Pckin, which has a general oversight over Mongolia, attempted, several months ago, to establish new and stricter rules for the government of the Mongolians, requiring the chiefs of the various divisions to pay obedience to the Chinese governor at Oorga, and otherwise interfering with tho long-established customs of the trilHts. This has aroused discontent, and some of the chiefs refused to pay the? usual tribute. Troops were mint against them, but they vanquished the soldiers, and it is now said that they arc advancing in the direction of Pckin, with the intention of establishing a new dynasty. They are excellent fighters, although not disciplined, and are able to vanquish any but the best troops in the Chinese service. A GERMAN RUMOR.
