In 1896 this man tried to join the union but they refused to have him,
though at the same time they continued to persecute him so that he could
not obtain work anywhere. Then he sued the Labor Union for damages.
The judge before whom the case was brought gave a decision in the
workingman's favor, declaring that if labor unions were allowed to do
any such wicked things as this, no laborer who was not a union man could
be able to earn his living.

Preparations are being made in Honolulu for the reception of the
Princess Kaiulani.
It is whispered that, in case the annexation treaty should be rejected
by the Senate, Kaiulani wants to be on hand to seize the throne.
It would appear that the Hawaiians who wish to see a monarch once more
on the throne of the Sandwich Islands are not agreed as to which queen
they wish to serve under. There is a strong party for Kaiulani and
another equally strong for Liliuokalani. Congress, however, meets in
December, and it is rumored that the Hawaiian treaty will be one of the
first things the Senate will consider. The rival queens will therefore
not have so very long to wait before they will know whether there will
be any throne left for them to fight for.
