YIELDS WITHOUT A STRUGGLE The American Union Party Elects Its Candidates in Hawaii, and. They Favor Annexation. The St. LodU Launched and Christened I) J Mrs. Cleveland. Philadelphia, Nov. 12. Shortly after 12 oleck the magnificent steamship St. Louis, of the American line, was suc cessfully launched at the Cramps' ship yards. The affair was witnessed by fully 50,000 people. Mrs. Cleveland, wife Of the president, broke the traditional bottle of champagne on the bow of the noble ship as it glided down the ways, at the same time uttering the words, "I christen thee St. Louis." In this in stance and for the first time since the ceremony was observed at the shipyards, the champagne was of American make. All the preparations for the launch had been carefully made, and, although the ship is 120 feet longer than any that ever has been launched, the difficult feat of getting the vessel from the ways into the water was accomplished without a hitch. After the launch, invited guests to the number of 400 were entertained at lunch in the office of the builders. Charles H. Cramp, in a speech of wel come to President Cleveland, said that with two exceptions the St. Louis was the largest and most powerful ship in the world. He referred to the progress of shipbuilding under President CI eve land's administration, and credited to his policy the fact that such wonderful results had been accomplished in Amer ica. "The St. Louis," he said, "is built "on American plans, by American work' men and of American material. Twenty six ships were recommended by Mr. - Cleveland and authorized by congress.' Concluding, he said that, while there may be honest ditterences on questions, national approval of Cleveland's vigor ous naval policy would always be unani mous. The toast to President Cleveland was drunk with cheers, and he made a felic itous response, alluding to the part he . had taken in restoring American com merce and building up the navy. The Klectlon In Hawaii. Victobia, B. C, Nov. 12. The steam ship Miowera arrived today, bringing advices from Honolulu to November 3 as follows : The election was held October 29th for senators and representatives for the legislature. On this island all the can didates of the American union party were elected. The single opposition candidate failed of election. On the other islands- the candidates elected are nearly all active supporters of the republic. It is believed that all the senators strongly support annexation notwithstanding there is a disposition of some of the planters to advocate the continued independence of the republic, in order to be free to import Asiatic con tract labor. Henry P. Baldwin of Mauri stands at the head of the plant ers and is a leader in legislation. He . has come out strongly .for annexation notwithstanding bis, desire as a planter for cheap labor. He believes that if an nexation abolishes the contract labor system it will more than compensate in other ways. He thinks that there are too many Japanese in the conn trv now. that Portuguese should be introduced instead, and that the plan of co-opera ting or the share system would succeed An autograph letter of Queen Victoria recognizing the republic of Hawaii, was . received on the 26th of October by H B.

The Japanese legation has not received, up to noon today, official confirmation of the cap ture of Port Arthur The legation peo ple say, however, if Port Arthur has fallen, it will be 'the most disastrous blow China has received. Counselor Stevens, of the legation, said Port Ar thur had been pronounced impregnable by the naval experts of Germany. Li Hung Chang had built there modern gun factories, which rivaled those of Kruppa. It is in some respects similar to Brooklyn or Norfolk navy yards, al though three times greater. Moreover Li Hung Chang has centered there the pick of the Chinese'army. ' It is pointed out the capture, if effected, is mainly important in giving the Japanese a for tification inside of China, from which they cannot hereafter be dislodged. The Japanese soldiers will undoubtedly make the place a depot of operations, and it will also afford a protected shelter for the Japanese fleet. The gun factor ies, which have been the chief reliance of Li Hung Chang would henceforth be at the Eervice of Japan. Port Arthur Captured by the Japanese. London, Nov. 12.
