HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS Tbe Islands In a Prosperous Condition. Honolulu Merchant Talks of the Business of His City inJ Country. C'HIOAOO. June 20. -William W. Hall a leading Hawaiian merchant, left Chi. euro last night for the east. Mr. Hall was born on the Islands, of American parents, ami has been a llt'ciong reeiik-nt of Honolulu. He ssiys he will go to Wash. Iiigton and call upon the president, whose brother livld. he knew well when the tho latter, now dead, wa consul to the Island kingdom. Speaking of the situa tion and prospects ot the Island, Mr. Hall said : "It lll bv a year ago next Fourth of July since the American Hag was raised in the Hawaiian islands, and the country still presents tile anomaly of a republic wlttiln a repnnlic. President Dole and his cabinet have gotie right on exercis ing t'heir functions until congress gets around to oivanUe & territorial form of icivernmont. The majority of the pec pie want Mr. Dole appointed governor under the new syetem for a time at least. He would certainly be much more ac ceptable than any American pollilclan wh might be named. The only other candidate In the Island who has been mentioned I Harold Sewall. son of the man who ran for vke-presldent with Mr. Bryan, He 1 a republican, however. "Honolulu Is enjoying an era of pros perity almost amounting to a boom. Sugar is up and rice nid coffee planta tions are doing well. There are several millionaires in Che city now, thougb 10 years ago. I don't suppose there was one. Kwrybody Is Interested In the planta tions: clerks and school teachers all hare snares. There are plenty of opening for American capttal. The Pacific is go ing; to be the moat prosperous part of the globe ami Honolulu is almost at the center of the travel east and west. The trip to China or the Philippines Is too long to make without a stop. We will have a cable, line within a year or to. The Pacific trade Is becoming Increas ingly important. I have seen Honolulu grow from a village to a modern city of 35.000 people, with sch.iols. water work and a lire department that 1 a model. Our Hawaiian constitution Is a model, too, by the way. Ajnerloan lawyers who have examined It say It 1 an improve ment on that of the United States." PHILIPPINE TRANSPORTS. SAN PRANCISOO.

He did not participate in the Jamen raid, but he wa in the country at fliat time and Immediately after that untoward enterprise he entered me Transvaal country and traversed much of ii. He know ;h Boer and their country and he considered both critimlly from the standpoint of a military or. fleer and stuib-nt. He spoke of the Trans vaal pn-blem entirely as a military man. He said: "There are motive of fair play and humanity which make Great Britain exceedingly reluctant to Interfere In South Africa by force. But It is only candid to say that considerations of a military character also operate to make ut chary about rushing into a cam palun which must put the most formid able olt-tacle and Involve quest of trnTirt, supply- and! tratgyt . hat might stagger a military experience. "In the nrnt place the Boers fn.m the Transvaal are magnllicbent guerrilla sol diers. Their history has proved It and they are fully up to their standard to day." "They are expert marksmen, born rough riders, such as your own cowooys, and their courage and tenacity Is und. nlable. Individually they are as good military stuff as the world possesses. "They are thoroughly convinced of the justice of their cause and would die to a man at the word of Oom Paul. "But aside from their morals and their times, the Tran-WAll munrt-v fa nn ad. mlrably adapted for the purposes tof defense. It is a land wirh large unin. habited space. An army invading it must have a distant base and Its supplies must be brought through a seml-tropi. cal country under the moeit dlsadvan. tageous conditk-m. Cape Town Is 1000 miles from the Vaal river and if an at- tack were to be toade from Natal there would be mountains to work through and much tropical growth. "Tbe question of transportation would be serious. Wa w.Hild need thousands of mules, which must be briiucht from Siutti America. The ocean distance and the adverse climate would k It the an. mals off by the hundreds and the actual work would entail even greater losses. "Therfls a question of statcgy as well, i Tho Boers would ty difficult to hit In a ! n ass. Indeed, they might not be mobll. Ixed, in an European sense, at all. In ! an arid, ro.-ky country, filled with aplen. i did slkxs, wit-h no real objective point to , ipture. with a disaffected, or actively ho-.nile popululoii on your Hank or rear,! the conquest of the Transvaal would be one of the most arduous undertakings . we ev?r entered upon In my opinion, I t o less than (W.OO! men would be required.

It Is folly to underesti. mat the military strength of the Trans vaal, which proceeds not alcr.e from tb material character of the population but also from the nature of the counrry Itself. 'And the Boers are armed to th. teeth. The money reallxed hy taxation of Ult landers has been spent In arms and ar tillery, so that the republic reoeata on a small cale the military camp which the ' continental powers exhibit on a great j cale." i NEGRO LYNCHED.
