Mr. Merrill traces the efforts of annexationists back for fifty years, serting that the scheme has 11 been agitated by American speculators interested in the islands, and has 1 considered unfavorably successively Secretaries Webster,Everett and vlajj The danger of interference in t he fairs of Hawaii by any Europea l ernment is so remote, Mr. blerf: says, that annexation can not be ji fled on that ground. The An ere population is but 2(000 in a t< -taj about 90,0)0, made Up largely of nese, Portugaese, Japanese ai d ^natives. He believes such a pos mS-ion would be a source of weakness n’ease of a foreign war; would be no jrctection to our Pacific coast, and w< ul-1 be hard to defend He calls atten tiojj to the contract labor l,aws which the government would be competed to < nfiiirce and concludes: ■ jj "To anyone acquainted with, fthe climatic influences, the simplicity land wants of the native race, the 'aggressiveness of the Asiatic, the requirements of the staple industries t net the peculiar labor conditions of the cthintry, it must be apparent’ th it -the autonomy of Hawaii is far better adapted to the wants of its people than any otter condition. Wt:ile; on the other hand, so long as the Edited States maintain their present attitude —embracing that group with in j] the Monroe doctrine—and keep an eyj| of the eagle poised in the direc iot of Hawaii, the harbor privileges, nival station and cable will accomplish! for us all that is desirable, without indicting any in jury on a friendly neigh bor, or violating the interests of the American people, or shocking the pr nc pies of our government.” jj

QUEEN LIL’S ENVOY Allowing HU Roy, l Mistress' CllM to Oo by Default While He Hobnobs with Old S^rletuls En Route to Wnehluton—The Annexationists Meanwhile Are Getting In Their Work In Kflectlre Shape. Grand Island, Neb.,! Feb. 14.—Tho Overland Flyer, which left San- Francisch Friday a t 5 p. m., and was supposed to have Paul Neumann, Queen Liliuokal'ani’s plenipotentiary, on board, was five hours lqte when it pulled into North Platte yesterday. The plenipotentiary was not on board. He had been detained by old friends in San Frapcisco and ho and the Hawaiian prince who accompanied him will come later. Charles M. Cooke, however, who is the suppler _ mentary annexationist commissioner from tbe island, was on the train# Mr. Cooke brings the supplementary dispatches sent to the commissioners after ■Minfster Stevens and Capb Wiltze.ot the Boston hoisted the American flag on the palace. He also brings a pile of documents and petitions favoring annexation. Mr. Cooke is a lumber mer- ■ chant in Honolulu, and claims that he and his associates are actuated by no other motive than a desire to secure a good and stable government. “I particularly want to repudiate the theovy that some American papers are clinging to, that this is a Claus Spreckels scheme. While the movement waa pending to bring the queen to a sense of her duty as to the taxp iyers, the latter strove in vain to get word of encourageihent from the Hawaiian Cdmmercial Co.’s agents in Honolulu. The men who control the company’s biggest plant at once refused to utter a word. Their excuse was that Mr. Spreckels had not been heard from, and they did not know what his wishes were.” Among the reasons for desiring annexation Mr. Cooke mentions relief from exorbitant taxation as one of the chief ones. It costs nearly $100,000 a year to maintain royalty, and there are but 50,000 taxpayers on the islands. THE LATE MR. BLAINE’S WILL.

A MILLERS’ TRUST. An Organization to Control the Price of Flour Formed. MinxeapJ^is, Minn., Feb. U.f-In regard to the alleged millers’ trdst, a reporter yesterday learned from a gentleman who claims to have personal T-nmyfedgc that for more than three months the leading spring wheat millers in the belt bounded by Buffalo, St. Louis and Minneapolis have been trying to form an organization looking to the control of the price of flour. The schemed* said to have originated with Mr. HubOard, of Mankato, Minn., and all the meetings have hjeen held in Chicago Most of the spring wheat millers In Buffalo, Chicago, St Louis Milwaukee, Minneapolis and tributary points have finally gone into the organization, which is now under full headway, with all the necessary officers and committees. The story as outlined above comes from a good authority, but it is denied in part by an authority equally good. The millers of Minneapolis, or several of them, who were seen yesterday do not deny that there is on foot a movement looking to the formation of an association of all prominent millers in the spring wheat belt, but they do deny that the organization will have any thing to do with controlling prices. A minifhum price may be agreed upon but no maximum. “We are simply branching a little, that is all,” is the way one miller expressed it yesterday, and he added: “We wonld be foolish to attempt to control or regulate prices, but what we want to do is to have our prices open so that every miller in the association may know what every other miller is getting for his goods. In this way we will unite against the buyer who is responsible for many of the cuts In prices by his misrepresentations. We wiil do nothing in the way of fixing prices, for it would not be possible-even if it were desirable.” Abraham Lincoln's Birthday In Chicago.
