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.

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.

who copied the article, received the
same punishment, and the man who
set tip tin tpye. was condemned to

his wife w ill never assume the position

Count

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.

split after half au hour’s firing and
nine men, including Lieutenant Ed

pounder, were put out of action halt
au hour later. Major Wilkinson was
shot.
The force then charged th*
bushes, discovering a stockade 30 yards
distant in the bush, so carefully con
cealed that its existence could not be
Buspected. The stockade waa carried
at the point of the bayonet, and the
force retired.
The casualties were six officers and
87 men. The enemy’s loss was 50
killed aud many wounded. It was es
timated that the natives numbered 10,-
