non conformist conscience will not long
tolerate a racing Premier. A tirade of
abuse follows against "tub stumping

zealots."

Capt. Vancouver made a mistake, perhaps intentionally, describing in his book.
With minute detail, the cession of the
ILiAiauan Islands to the King of England. Neither Kamehameha nor any of
his chiefs ever intended to cede their
territory. Their understanding of the
transaction was very different.
Europeans, who have lived here more
than 20 years, told me that Kamehameha could not hear without indignation
that the English claimed any jurisdiction over his land. He even goes so far as
to object to the name "SandAvich Islands,"
which was given them by Capt. Cook,
insisting that each one should be called
by its own name, and the group—that

He took the English flag from Capt.
Vancouver, and always hoisted it, but
during the last war between England
and the United States, an American
jokingly told him that the United States
had a right to make war on him and
take the islands from under the English
flag. The King understood the significance of a flag, and told the American
that he was not a fool, that he had many
flags of different nations, and that if one
would not do, he could easily change it
for another, but expressed a desire to
have a flag of his own, which an Englishman designed for him. The English
cross in the upper coiner signifies friendship to England, as the first European
nation with which he became acquainted,
and the stripes the number of islands
under Kamehameha's rule. The other

a vassal to the King, paying as tribute a

The treaty with Vancouver for the
cession of the country amounts to nothing, but what we call a defensive alliance.

that it was his intention to send it to

islands.
The Hawaiians willingly take service
on European ships, and the Americans
speak highly of them for their zeal, obedience, intelligence and fidelity to their
superiors. In case of mutiny on merchant

Consequently vessels sailing for the
North-west coast of America generally
take some of the islanders along. The
King never refuses them permission to
go, knowing that they Avill be useful to
him after their return, by their acquired
knowledge. Kamehameha is desirious of
gaining the friendship and confidence of
white people in every Avay possible. For
the safety of coming vessels he has pilots
in every port, each one being supplied
with a certificate in the English language,
testifying to his skill as a pilot. As the
King cannot write, Mr. Elliott dues it
for him. For safety on land a police foicc
has been established.
Besides the King keeps a sharp look
out for trade. A couple of officers have
been appointed whose duty is to board
every approaching vessel, find out all
about her cargo, the number of the crew,
etc., and according to this information
he sets his own prices for produce. The
exports from the Islands consist only
of Sandal-wood, which is divided into
four grades or sorts. In making a bargain, they shoAvthe poorest quality first,
and in case of a refusal to take it the
next is shoAvn, just as in Europe.
There is abundance of Sandal Avood
on the islands, but, as it grows on the
mountains, it is very hard to get it down
to the ships. American traders cany the
wood to China. The price there is 13 or
14 Spanish dollars per picul (13.'i' _• lbs),
but the local price is ten dollars, which
is generally paid in goods, the captains
setting the price for their oaaii goods.
None of the King's subjects has a right
to overcharge or underchange for products. Ships of Avar, coming into port,
have to pay very dear for provisions, not
having goods to barter for them: c. g. $15
for two medium sized hogs. There is no
regularly organized government on the
islands, and nothing European has been
introduced except taxes, which were
suggested by European advisers, without abolishing the old order of finances,
which consists in this that When the
King Avants anything, he simply gives
an order that it shall be delivered by

order is carried out Avithout a murmur.

The Kamehameha School.
Had its usual interesting exhibit last
week, closing with a superior rhetorical
and musical exhibition on the evening of
the 27th, at KaAvaiahao Church, when a
class of sixteen youths were graduated.
This school is in the full tide of success
and prosperity. Native youths there have
opportunities such as are denied to

The Morning Star.
Our missionary ship is nearly ready for
her annual cruise through the groups of
Micronesia. She will carry to Kusaie the
Rev. Clinton F. Rife M. 1). and wife, and
Miss E. Theodora Crosbv. Dr. Rife will
take Dr. Pease's place in the Marshall
Is. Training School.
To Ruk the Star will carry the Rev.
Francis M. Price and wife, who were
formerly connected with the Shanse
Mission in China.
The greatly needed reinforcements
will be most welcome. They have been
long waited for.
Capt. Garland goes once more in command of the Star. Mrs. Garland also
goes with her young babe. She will tarn
on Kusaie during a part of the cruise.
The Closing Exercises
For the year of Kawaiahao Seminary
took place at the Stone Church on June
7th. The school year has been a prosperous one; a full school, great progress
in industrial training, finances made
ends meet. The excellent Principal,
Miss Pope has resigned, in order to take,
charge of the rtew Kamehameha Girls'
School, and has gone East to prepare
for opening the same.

M. Pease's Report for
1893-3.
I'. Emerson:
Di-.vk BkoiiiiK. I hereby attempt to
ittep my promise and give you some
idea of the state of mission worli in tilt
Marshall Islands as we found il and left
it on our first tour, also ot the training
•school, etc. The latter was unusually
'aige during the past year 19 young
men. also ii couples and a do/en children more or less, ot various ages.
Schoolwork was pleasant and apparently
successful throughout the year. I'he
pupils "drank medicine (as they say),
very little anil studied well for them.
Mrs. Pease taught the music (besides
our two boys), Mrs. Forbes, the wop-,en and children and the main school.
As usual I taught the Bible, its exegesis
~nd practical application, English, Arithmetic and Geography. Oui Spanish
friends from Ponape made us a visit in
July. An armed transport came up .mil
(-.pent several dais in Weather harbor.
After they had been there a while Mr.
Channon and myself went around the
island to visit them. We were courteously received and biter an English
speaking Lieutenant returned our call.
Perhaps they intend to locate a priest or
two on out island. The Kusaians are
BO peaceable I suppose a "padre" would
r.eed no military protection while living
among them. We shall see.
Our troubles with the Germans began soon after our visit to the islands in
the fall of 1*92. Word came to us by a
trading vessel that our teachers had
been summarily removed from Mejij.
Aur and Ujae and that those on Kwojeleint and Namo would soon meet the
same fate. Also the contributions ol
the Jaluij church had been confiscated to
help pay expenses of the aforesaid removals. It seems a new Commissioner
had arrived, one Major Schmidt, and
matters were being regulated with military energy and dispatch. Other reports
tame later confirming the above anil
also bringing various and sundry threats
against myself, the Morning Star and
uur future operations. Putting all to
gether it appeared obvious that the attitude of the German government had
become openly and decidedly hostile, so
much so as to menace the future of our

no instructions, no reinforcements or

to us like a messenger of evil tidings.
Her coming brought no joy or relief.
After her trip to the western islands,

wards. It Avould seem that all this is
only in order that avc may only recognize the German supremacy. This second interview Avas a very pleasant one,
and afterwards we found that the Aery
strained relations between us and the
authorities were decidedly relieved. The
natives were tpiiik to peiceive the
change iind were quite joyful over it.
So avc made our cruise in peace, replaced teachers on islands whence the
removals had taken place, and left mat

will see from the Herald,
There will, I presume, be rio further
efforts made to displace us in favor ola
German Protestant Mission Society.
We shall have the Catholics to contend with. And if sometimes the Kom
misaar should happen to he a Roman
Catholic, there might be partiality shown
in their behalf. Of course there may be
annoyances owing to the "paternalism"
of the German Government which likes
to do and boss everyting.
