Thomas Meagher of Port Lambton, Ont., crossed to the American side in @ steam launch, whicb the United States officer desired to search.

Strained Relations Be- tween England and China

SIR CLAUDE McDONALD WARNS THE TSUNG-LI-YAMEN.

_

That Failure to Observe Great Bri- tain’s Wishes Will be Serious.

[Spectat ro Toe ExaMiner.]

Lonpon, Aug. 27.—The Pekin corres~ pondent of the Daily Mail, says that the situation bas suddenly become acute.

Relations between the Tsing-Li-Yamen aad Sir Claude McDouald, the British Am~ bassador, are strained to the point of rup- ture.

Sir Claude McDonald has intimated any failure by China to observe Great Britain’s wishes will be accepted a* a casue belli,

In support of Mr. Claude McDonald, the} fleet has been concentrated at Wei-Hal Wei and Hankow, and all war- ships under 5,006 tons have been iobiliz- ed in the Yang-tse river.

The vaval demonstration is solely direct- ed against China and it is semi-officially stated thatexisting relations with Russia are cordial.

Diplomatic conferences have been of constant occuerence within the past few days.

THE PEACE COMMISSION.

The expedition, after weathering many storms of Spitzbergen. steamsd to King Charles Island, which consists of two large islands. ‘A third island was discovered, which was christened August Scherl Island, in honor of promoter of the expedition.

FUTURE OF SAMOA.

A German Paper Advises that the Islands be Divided,

Berurx, Aug. 24.—The Narine Poli- tische Correspondenz, in an article on the consequences that will follow the estab lishment by the United States of a naval base at Pago Pago, in the Samoan Islands, says that the political aud accompanying economical advantages Of Germany, whose local interests are predominant in Samoa compared with those of other foreigners, can be adjusted only by dividing the is~ lands between the three treaty powers It proposes that the island of Savaii be given to England ; Tutuila, on which Pago Pago is situated, to the United States, and Upolu to Germany.

The Neueste Nachrichten calls upon the Govercment to act energetically ia con~ nection with Samoa. It says it wiil gain nothing by being demure. Te it requires a paval station there it will have to be taken, as was Kiao Chau in East China,

The Plain English of it.

Addressing a public meeting at Ross land, Hon. G. E. Foster was a few days ago apeaking on the alleged broken pro- mises of the Liberals and said: “When a man gives his promise to do thus and de liberately does what he promised not todo he is, in plain, Anglo-Saxon, a liar. What, then, shall we vall the leader of a party who, giving his promise to five million Ca~ nadians, deliberately breaks his word ?”

A voice—‘He’s a liar.”,

When Their. Flags Was Replaced,

BY THE UNITED STATES STARS AND STRIPES.

of The

Hawaiian Islands Described.

The Formal Annexation

(From the Montreal Star’s Special Cor- respondent Resident in New York.)

A letter from Honolulu shows that the ceremony Of raising the American flag over the Hawaiian Islands on the 12th inst., was not as enthusiastic aa affair as the people of the United States anticipated, or were led to believe it would be. The cor- respondent says: America has garnered the first fruits of the Spanish war. [it was the echo of Dewey’s guns that was heard

in Honoluluon August 12th, when one « flag weatdown amid a roar of saluting ; canson, and another went up to take its place. The sight was most impressive, not because of the size of the crowd, for it was not large, not for tumult, for there was little noise, not for length of ceremon~ ial, for the exercises were as simple as they should be when one Ripublic absorbs another, but because one nationality was snuffed out like a spent candle, and another, wastset upjin its place. It was but avother roll of the J uggernaut car in which the lordly Anglo-Saxon rides to his dream of uaiversalempire. 1t was not as joyous an occasion as far off America may imagine. When it was over, women who wore the American emblem wiped their eyes, and men who have been strong for annexation said, with a throb in the throat, “How ead it was!”

HAWAIIANS STAYED AWAY.

As for Hawaiians, they were not there. It was self-denial, on their part, for the Kanaka dearly lovesacrowd and excite~ ment; but on this day of days the Hawaii~ aus were closely housed. They were not on the streets, they were not at the stores. They were shut up in their houses, and from the Queen’s stately home to the mean- est shed, the open windows ard closed abutters were lonely and sombre as places of death. Thosefwho were obliged to be abroad slipped by through back streets and narrow lanes. They wore on their bats the twisted golden ilima that tells of love of royalty, or on their breasts Hawaiian flags and badges. So few Hawaiians were in front of the Executive building that it might have been almost any capital except Honolulu. There were A mericans,Portu- guese, Japanese, Chinese in numbers, but no Hawaiians. About the ceremcnies there was all the tension ef an execution. It was more funeral! than fete, more a eo)]- emn ceremony than a gay event. There was something fine and strong in the re~ straint the annexationists pnt upon theme selves in the hour of their triumph. There was little of blowing horns, and tooting of whistles. Only ove man drove about in a carriage groaning under @ load of red, white and blue, and he was not an Ameri- can, but a Greek.

NO SPREAD*=EAGLEISM,

There was absolutely no speechmaking, except a few dignified words from Minister Sewal]; no spread-eagleism, no procession and no cheering.

There were six Hawaiians on the plat- form reserved for distinguished folk, where diplomats and Cabinet ladies and "Minis- ters’ wives were seated in order of their husband’s prominence. One of these na- tive women is the wife of @ prominent nas tive lawyer and politician. He came for business reasons, and she came because he required her to. ,In facial characteristics she is not unlike the ex-Queen, and many people mistook her for Liliuokalani. She came in on ber husband’s arm, very proud and dignified and stately, in a floating noloku of black and violet, her hat plumed with royal yellow. She held her head very high among her lighter neighbors, and she bore up very well until the Hawaiian band began to play “ Hawaii Pono!” for the last time as tne national anthem.

floated and then eank forthe last time.

Other natives who were forced to be there covered their eyes, and an old woman who stood near never moved her eyes from the flag as it dropped, but a rain of tears fell on.ber cheeks. Hawaiians in the ranks of the Nationa! Guard covered their faces and fixed their eyes on the ground. When “ Hawaii Ponol,” which means “ Our very own Hawaii,” came to be played it was a weakly strain, forall the natives had thrown eway their instruments and fled round a corner, out of sight.
