Take. th . Honolulu. June 14.— The last of the three great epoch-making events in the history of the annexation of the Hawa iian islands to the United States of America took place this morning, when Governor Sanford B. Dole, first execu tive of the new American territory, was inaugurated. The oath of office waa delivered on the spot that was the scene of the other two events— the reading of the all-importaut proclama tion of 1898, and the Hag-raising of 1898. Governor Dole was sworn and spoke to the people of Hawaii from the steps of the building where seven years ago he appeared as the leader, and were for the first time au actual begin ning was made in negotiations with the American government for annexation. The palace that has become famous all over America ou account of its con nection with the history of Hawaii aud the history of America’s first experi ment in expansion, was decorated hs in 1898. It was ablaze witn the red, white and blue and crowded with peo ple. The Stars and Stripes were every where, aud they made brilliant all th grandstands, and a huge American flag floated on the staff above. As usual in all large gatherings in Honolulu, there was a great variety ot races. Whites, natives, Chinese. Jap anese and Portuguese were together, though the whites and natives outnum bered all others by tar, aud the whites were a majority over all. The natives were well represented, however, both in the throng that crowded around the steps of the building to hear the gover nor, and among those who occupied places inside the building and the places of honor ou either side of the central stand. The day was a very hot one, und the people hunted for shade as they waited for the ceremonies to begin. JA P A N IS AN G R Y.

Vancouver, B O., June 30.— Accord ing to Oriental advices, the Japanese government is very ungry at the secret execution of General An Kyeug Su aud Kwon Young Chiu, former cabinet ministers ot the Korean government, and leaders of the progressive party, who were privately strangled in the Seoul prison as traitors on the night of May 27. Both were concerned in the plot which culminated in the assas sination of Queen Min at Seoul in 1895. For the past four years they had been refugees in Japan und who had teturu- ed to Korea under the protection of the Japanese minister. Despite this chnp- erouago, they were tortured into mak ing a full confession, where then beat en and strangled and their Itodies ex posed us traitors at the big bell and af terward drawn and quartered. The Japanese minister tried to prevent the execution, but was refused audience with the Korean king on account of the latter's alleged illness. A ll of the Korean officers connected with the death ot Kwon and An have been sentenced to transportation and have already been sent into exile, the latter proceeding being au attempt ou the part of the Korean king to appease the Japanese government, whicli ha*, demanded an explanation from Koreu. This explanation has been tendered by the Korean minister of foreign affairs, but is not satisfactory to Japan. The Japanese journalists who pub lished an objectionable article concern ing the crown prince and bis bride have paid dearly for their tolly. The Tokio local court rejected the plea of insanity set up on behalf of the editor and sentenced him to three and a half years’ imprisonment with hard labor and a fine of 120 yen, as well as police surveillance for one year. Morita, who copied the article, received the same punishment, and the man who set tip tin tpye. was condemned to eight months’ imprisonment, a fine of 50 yen aud six months' police surveil lance.

Count Golochowski, the minister of foreign affairs, read the documents.

San Francisco, July 2— The Htoamer Portland, which arrived from Cape Nome, reports that the steamer ltose- craua, formerly the transport Missouri, has gone aground about 60 miles south of Cape Nome. While her situation is not considered perilous, it is thought she will have considerable difficulty in getting off. The Kosccraus has a cargo of government supplies on board. The Portland brought five passengers only, according to CaptHin Lundquist. The steamer Charles Nelson had a hard time of it. She returned to Uuu- laska June 18. While trying to find an opening in the ice her provisions gave out. She was to have sailed again for Cape Home shortly after the Portland left Dutch Harbor. The captain of the Corwin was holding the wrecked barkentine Catherine Sudden at Nome for salvage. Captaiu Lundquist, speaking of the conditions at Nome, said: ‘ ‘ What a man gets hold of up there he keeps, and in many instances he keeps it nt the point of a gnu. Restau rants, lodging-houses, saloons, stores, barber shops, and in fact all kinds of business was left in the handset agents last fall. These agents have sold the places and cleared out with the money. Now the original owuera ate lippenring on the scene, aud there are ‘ razors in the air.’ ‘ ‘On the beach it was just 60 per cent worse than up town. In the town as a general rule there wns only almut one claimant to other mens’ property in each case, but ou tho beach there was never less than six. Agents sold things right and left, and in conse quence there will be endless litigation before things are straightened out. No wonder all the big claim-owners took up lawyers with them.” The Portland brought 10 boxes of gold, aggregating $300,000, belonging to the Alaska Commercial Company. Tort Townsend, Wash., July J.— The steamer A l-K i arrived from the north tonight, bringing 60 passengers aud $250,000 in dust from Dawson, which had been brought up the river ou the stcainre Sybil. Among the passengers uu tlu> A l-K i is Lieutenant J. S. H er ron, of the Eighth United States cav alry, who a year ago started from Cook Inlet with a small command and crossed a hitherto uupeuetrated coun try leading for hundreds of miles over mountains, valleys and plains to the mouth of the Tatiana. The expedition was deserted by Indian guides, and for some months fears for the safety of the party were entertained, hut on Decem ber 11 the party reached the month of the Tananu, where orders were received to remain until spring. The object of the expedition was to ascertain the feasibility of the route through Alaska and to obtain information as to miners, timbers and general data of that sec tion of Alaska between Cook Inlet and the Yukon river. For nearly a year the party was without news from the outside world. Lieutenant Herron is on tho way to Seattle for orders. Colonel K. D. Wiggln, land commis sioner at Rampart, is among the pas sengers oil the Al-Ki, bringing the first news from tiiHt section. He says the camp proved itself better last winter than ever before, and creeks be fore considered worthless turned out to be big gold-proudcers. He estimates tiie clean-up at $2,000,000. Rampart was deserted the early part of last winter, only 400 or 500 people, who were not rich enough to go to Nome, remaining. They comprised steamhont hands and unfortunate min ers. When development work com menced it wus soon proved that Ram part Creek was rich, and those who were at first out ot luck aie now on the high road to fortune, and Rampart bids fair to rival the Klondike as a gold-producer.
