Further than this they say they do not care to express an opinion, and this despite the (act that on September 13 the new Ministry was inducted into office. Tbe change oi government was accomplished without demonstration of any kind, but the feeling prevails that there ia no confidence in the Ministry. and any change would create no sur prise. The department is under irore or less influence to bring about even closer relations between- the United Status and Hawaii than have ever been obtained. Annexation iB openly urced, the argument being made that the Isl ands need the support of a strong gov ernment, which would restore the commercial credit of the country, give assistance to the producers and conse quent development to the Islands. Un less tbe united states does take these Islands under its care, it is urged that some other strong government is likely to do it, and that government is Eng land. In addition to sugar rice is culti vated, tea can be raised in abundance, and the coffee of the Islands is of the finest quality. A'ltbat is needed is some money and an effort to improve the lands and cheap labor to work them. Eng land could easily supply these from her surplus capital and coolie colonies. WORLD'S FAIR NOTES.
