Our Government and our City have just been delivered from a great and deadly peril. Our enemy was animated by great bitterness of hate. That hatred had been vented upon us lor two years in every possible form of reviling. Sue cessful in maintaining secrecy, that enemy bad, with such care and cunning as they were capable of, organized to overturn the Government of the Republic by the force of rifies and dynamite, and to restore the monarchy. They began their assault, (heconflict brofcj out. they were routed, crushed and ignominiously captured. All their conspiracies and treasons have been revealed, and they now await the decision and sentence ol the Military tribunal. Our community now breathes freely, delivered from the severe and deadly tear that met us on the niglit of the tilh of January. To whit do we owe this deliverance ? Why did not that body of more than two hundred armed insurgents assembled without an}' knowledge of the authorities behind the stately rock of Diamond Head, succeed in making their intended rush by night into the city, and reinforced by their numerous confederates therein, in at least filling the city with fire and slaughter, if not in mastering our forces and Government buildings? VVe may rightly adduce several causes as contributing to their failure and our success, such as the vigilanceand activity of the Marshal and police, the thorough organization of our Volunteer Military and Citizens' Guards, the ardor of patriotism which animated our people in defense of the Government which they honored and trusted, their admirable unity of purpose and action, and the vastly superior courage and prowess of the while man in battle with those of a weaker race. VVe may also impute the result to the lack of any capable leadership among the insurgents, and to the impracticability of their ill-conceived plans. All these causes cooperated to our crushing victory, and speedy deliverance. The devout and thoughtful mind will look behind these causes as secondary means, and will attribute the existence and success of these means of victory to the merciful gift of the Divine Protector, who "teacheth our hands to war, and our fingers to fight." We must feel that all the vigilance, courage and unity shown, all the ardor and patriotism, has been inspired in our people by the Divine Spirit. It is God who has been during these years educating our community in civic virtue and patriotism, and preparing us for our own defense. VVe owe all our deliverance and safety to the protection of our God. The history of Hawaii during the past severity-five years, presents a wonderful series of peculiar interpositions of Providence, all working in one direction, which has been for the growth and establishment ot Christian civilization in these favored Islands. VVe have learned to expect and confide in these interpositions. In all the perils and hostile attacks upon this growing Chrtstian regime of social order and civil liberty, the gates of hell have not prevailed; the Divine interposition has always come, whether tie hostile onset proceeded from heathen retrogression, or from the enmity of debased sons of civilization. It is the manifest destiny of Hawaii to become the permanent home of a Christian civilization of the highest order. This dear land of ours is in the Divine keeping. VVe shall be chastened and trained by our father as we need. It is only by severe trial that manhood becomes knit and perfected. Trial and conflict Hawaii will continue to have. But our noble Christian civilization is certain to grow and prevail. All that rises against it will come to nought. The Story of the Insurrection. Especially for the use of our many readers abroad, who may not have access to other journals, we give the following succinct account of the dangerous uprising last month of a band of conspirators, making war upon the Government of the Republic, for the purpose of restoring Liliuokalani to the throne. Our story is based upon the evidence Numhf.k 2. given in the trials of the rebels and conspirators before the Mil ttary Commission. On the night of Thursday, the 3d ult., a serious alarm was crested by the gathering of over tOO natives at the Immigration depot at Kakaako suburb on the south east side of the harbor. These were dispersed by the police. At the same time, five special policemen patroling the beach beyond Kakaako were separately held up by seven persons, who after an hour's detention released them. It was afterwards found that the natives had assembled for the purpose of receiving arms ftom the steamer W'aiiiiaiialo, with the intention of attacking and capturing the Government buildings that night. On Sunday evening, the filh ult., a general alarm filled the city and emptied the churches. The conflict had begun beyond Waikiki, at the foot of Diamond Head. Charles L. Carter had been shot. By 9 I.M. •JIHI men of the National Guards (uniformed companies) hid reported at headquarter* for duty, and 800 of the Citizens' Guards in squads bad rushed armed to their posts and occupied every leading street cornet of the city, making it impossible for rebels to collect or to traverse the town. The splendid organization and spirit of the citizens was at once manifest. Considerable firing went on that night at Waikiki and on the Waialac road, two miles inland, be'ween the rebels and small bands of our men. During the next day, sharp battle ensued at both positions, resulting in the complete breaking up ol the rebels and the surrerVfler of over foity. During the next ten days, every one of the fugitive rebel leadeis were captured, and all their chief confederates arretted. The natives and hall whites captured and arrested, mostly vied with each ther in their eagen.ess to reveal everything. A Military Commission was created to try the rebels. Prom the evidence before them the following facts : were developed After the establishment of the Republic of Hawaii last lib of July, Liliuokalani sent to Washington three Commissioners, H. A. VVidemann, John A. Cummins and Major Seward to ask President Cleveland if she could not expect further aid from him. He has published the wri ten reply in the negative which he then sent. They appear, however, to have become aware of his intention, which he has carried out, to withdraw all the U. S. naval forces from Honolulu, thus leaving the way open for revolutionary attempts. �10 Losing hope of direct aid from Washington, Liliuokalani and her partisans early in October commenced to lay plans to seize the Government by force. The chief conspirators who conducted the planning were four: C. T. Gulick, a former Cabinet Minister of Kalakaua, an American; Samuel Nowlein, a half white, formerly Captain of the (Queen's Guard; W. H. Rickard, an Englishman long resident in Hawaii; ami Major Seward, an American long domiciled with John A. Cummins, a wealthy half-white. These four held frequent meetings at Gulick's house for three months, and settled upon a plan for the capture of the city and public buildings, taking steps accordingly. Capt. Nowlein was to be commander of the rebel forces. Major Seward was Rickto procure arms from the Coast ard was generally useful. Gulick was the statesman of the party. He, with the others, drew up a new Constitution, wrote a Proclamation restoring the (Queen's Government, and prepared written Commissions for a number of chief officials. These papers were copied in good form by Kaae, the ex Queen's secretary. Seward visited San FVancisco in November, and secured a shipment of arms by the schooner Wahlberg. A tug put them aboard of her at sea. On December 20th, after several days watching by five of Seward and Cummins' men on Rabbit Island, near Waimanalo at the east end of Oahu, the schooner signaled and was answered. The men pulled off, and gave the pass word "Missionary." They received two cases containing eighty pistols and ammunition which they first buried on the islet, but afterwards carried to Honolulu. The schoon er then laid off outside for twelve days. On the 28th the little steamer Waimanalo was chartered by Seward and Rickard, and on New Year's day intercepted the schooner some thirty miles N.E. of Oahu, and received from her 288 Winchester carbines with belts and some 50,000 cartridges. On the night of the 2d, the Waimanalo ran in near Uertelmann's at Diamond Head and took Rickard on board, who directed Captain Davies to land all the arms on the night of the 3d at Kakaako by whaleboats. Rickard and the steamer spent the next day at sea. Running in again at Bertelmann's in the evening it was found that the police had frustrated their plan. The 288 rifles and ammunition were then landed that night at Waialae, two miles beyond Bertelmann's, and concealed partly in the sand, partly in algaroba thickets. Meantime Captain Nowlein had been secretly enlisting natives in squads of thirty-eight. About 210 of these assem- bled at Waimanalo during Saturday night and Sunday, the 6th. They captured and detained all persons passing or resident beyond Diamond Head. Sunday was spent cleaning arms from THE FRIEND.

Wilcox and his men then escaped up a trail on the precipiece to the ridge separating Manoa from Nuuanu. On that ridge his men dispersed into the mountain above, Wilcox and a few otheis crossing Nuuanu that night, eluding the guards. He was captured a few days later at a fishing station beyond the Quarantine ground. Some -100 of the Government forces were kept for more than" a week guarding the valleys from Nuuanu to Palolo, and scouring the mountain ridges clear to the eastern Makapuu point. This resulted in the capture of all the chief rebels. Martial Law was proclaimed early on the 7th. As evidence against conspirators accumulated, some forty whites and 120 natives were arrested. Pour foreigners and 140 natives were taken prisoners of war. The prisons were supplemented by the use of the old Barracks. On the fith ult. President Dole conA M.

Robert Wilcox of former insurgent fame had joined the rebels, and been placed in chief command under Nowlein. It was intended to make the rush upon the city late at night. At nightfall it was found that the police were molesting Bertelmann's. A report had reached the authorities of arms landed there, and a squad of police sent out to seize them. A conflict had ensued in which Lieut. Holi was dangerously wounded. Deputy Marshal Brown went in for further orders, and returned with more men about 7 p.m. Meantime Wilcox had sent forty men to surround tin: police and capture them, lest his men from town should be prevented from joining him. These men were surrounding the premises when Brown enteied the house to serve his warrant. The police were fired upon. C. L. Carter led a rush upon a canoe shed where a number of rebels were ensconced. He was shot down by William Poole, and died at B �Vol. 53, No. 2.] Queen. A free use of these diabolical machines was intended to be made in the capture of the public buildings. Liliuokalani was put under arrest on the 16th, and confined in a chamber of her former palace. The highest credit is accouled to the native policemen, under Capi. Robert Parker, who is one fourth white, for their activity, courage and devotion in the very arduous service imposed upon them. So much stress has been laid by the royalists upon the hatred of the natives to the Government, and theii eagerness to overthrow it, that the real feeling of a majority, as now manifested, has been somewhat of a surprise. Hun dreds of native men tended their services to the Government during the days of conflict. Since the ex Queen was arrested large numbers hitherto reticent have become outspoken in denouncing her and her cause. On the 24th, while engaged in the trial of a company of natives, the Court was startled by the fall upon the table around which they sat of a massive bar of plaster from the lofty ceiling. The bar was nine feet long, forming part of a decorative panel. It fell upon the center of the table, precisely fitting the length of it. Col. Whiting had a narrow escape, his face being grazed, although protected by his military hat. The plaster had been loosened by a sharp shake of earthquake the night before. At 1 1 a.m. on the same day, Liliuokalani Dominis executed a document ad dressed to President Dole, in which she renounced all her former rights and privileges as Queen and swore allegiance to the Republic. Some account of this document is given in another column. Submission of Liliuokalani. On the morning of January 21th, a number of gentlemen, chiefly friends of the ex-queen, assembled in the chamber of the Executive Building occupied by her, and witnessed her signature to a document of some importance. It was addressed to President Dole, and much abridged was in substance as follows: After full and free consultation with her personal friends and legal advisers, and by their advice and her own free volition, and for the best interests of the people of Hawaii, and for the sake of misguided Hawaiians in rebellion to restore her, and without any claim to become entitled by this act to any special treatment or consideration, she now makes known to him as the only lawful and recognized Head of the Government, and to all the people of the Hawaiian Islands, and to all the Foreign diplomatic representatives: First: That she unequivocally admits and declares the Government of the 11 THE FRIEND Republic of Hawaii to be the only lawful government of the Hawaiian Islands, and that the late Hawaiian monarchy is finally and forever ended, and no longer of any legal validity or force; and she forever absolves all persons from allegiance or obligation to her and her heirs and successors, and declares all persons in the Hawaiian Islands bound to support the Government of the Republic of Hawaii. Second: For herself, her heirs and successors, she irrevocably and forever abdicates to this Government and its legitimate successors all claim! and pretensions whatsoever to the late Throne or Monarchy of Hawaii, and all rights, privileges and emoluments whatsoever, except those common to all private citizens or residents of the Republic. Third: She respectfully impl res for such misguided Hawaiian! and others as have been concerned in the late rebellion such Executive clemency as may be consistent with duty and regard for violated law. Fourth: She desires to live henceforth in absolute privacy and retirement from all concern in public affairs, farther than to express her constant hope for the welfare and prosperity of Hawaii and its people. Fifth: She presents her certified oath of allegiance to the Republic of Hawaii. Sixth: She has made and signal this statement without the slightest suggestion from the President. "Relying upon the, magnanimity of the Government of the Republic, and upon its protection, I have the honor to be, Mr. President, Judge A. S. Hartwell was employed to draw up the document, which he did in his usual thorough manner, barely suggested in the above abridgment. It will remain to be seen of what public service this submission of the exQueen may become. Cleveland's Malignity. In the instructions sent to Admiral Beardslee by order of President Cleveland for his guidance in the protection of American citizens in Honolulu, appears the following direction: "An American citizen who, during a revolution in a foreign country, participated in any attempt of force of arms or violence to maintain or over-throw the existing Oovernment, cannot claim that the Government of the United States shall protect him against the consequence of such act." [Italics ours, Ed.] Similar instructions were given to Admiral Walker last summer. This practically outlaws this American Colony, towards which President Cleveland manifests a malignant hatred, having for six months kept away all naval protection in order, as every one here believes, to encourage Royalist insurrection, desiring as he has done, the overthrow of the Republic, and the restoration of the fallen queen. There are scarcely any Americans in Honolulu who have not taken an active part on one side or the other. By this rule the Philadelphia finds no American citizens here to protect. There is nothing for her to do here, and she may as Very Respectfully, well steam back to San Francisco.

It was on the following day given to the Press and to the P'oreign Diplomatic Representatives, by the consent of the Advisory Council. This document may perhaps be counted remarkable as being the first instance in history of a deposed monarch thus submitting and tendering allegiance to the republic which displaced the monarchy. The ex Queen was undoubtedly in a condition of abject terror when she executed this submission. It is, however, the exact truth that no threats of any kind had been made to her, and thai no member of the Government had held the slightest conference upon the matter with her and her friends, with whom it was a purely spontaneous proceeding. Henry Dimond. (Orbituary). The venerable Father Dimond passed away in the early morning of January 3d, after many months of prostration and increasing weakness. He was in his 87th year, having been born in Fairfield, Conn., in 1808. He was the last surviving male missionary on Oahu, having resided in Honolulu with little interruption for nearly sixty years. Mr. Dimond came here as a book-binder and assistant missionary. The large bindery at Kawaiahao under his charge turned out hundreds of thousands of School books, Hymn books, Testaments, Bibles, and other literature in the Hawaiian tongue, which had been printed by Mr. �12 THE FRIEND. E. O. Hall. While an able worker in his special calling, Mr. Dimond was an active and valued helper in all Christian work. In 18f>0, in the abundance of mechanical labor, the bindery no longer requiring his aid, Mr. Dimond was released from the mission and engaged in selling goods in Honolulu, which occupation he followed for nearly thirty years, accumulating a handsome competence. A member of the old Bethel Church, Father Dimond's voice was habitually heard in edifying prayer and instructive exhortation. His mental powers and practical judgment were superior, and his religious life deep and earnest. His last days were full of praise and prayer, with a joyful hope of eternal life. Two families of the children of Mr. Dimond and Mr. J. T. Waterhouse were intermarried. Alike each of these fathers were preceded in death by their aged wives, and themselves passed away within five days of each other. Mr. Dimond left two married daughters, with one married and one unmarried son, besides three children of a daughter deceased. Many of Mr. Dimond's grand-children are married, and there are. several of the fourth generation. leather Dimond once related to the writer with deep emotion, how the Lord led him in early manhood to consecrate all to His service, and how he waited for and gladly accepted the call of duty which sent him to Honolulu. John Thomas Waterhouse. The death of this eminent citizen of Honolulu on January Bth, removes one of our oldest landmarks. Mr. Waterhouse had been for more than forty years a prominent actor in the commerce of Honolulu. He had acquired great wealth, invested here and abroad. Two of his sons, John T., and Henry, are among our most active and useful Christian men, and greatly beloved and honored. None also are more so than the daughter on Kauai, Mrs. William Rice. Mr. Waterhouse was an earnest and zealous Christian. His fathtr and two brothers were conspicuous in the work of the Wesleyan Missions in the South Pacific. He was himself of ardent and impulsive disposition, full of love for the kingdom of his Master, and for the salvation of men. His end was full of humility, peace in God, and joyful assurance of hope. The grace of God fell very tenderly upon him in his closing days as his strong physique gradually gave way. A Martyr Patriot. | r e reverently accord this title to the >red and beloved young man who in the first collision between the is of the Government and the insurs. Charles Lunt Carter eagerly ed to the front with his friends J. B. Castle and A. Carter, to stamp out if possible, the first flame of theinsurrection ?s it arose in the neighborhood where they lived. He courageously led the assault on the rebels and fell. His death roused the whole city with a trumpet call, and every supporter of the Government sprang to arms. His example of instant action, courage, and devoted patriotism inspired every heart. A martyr is one whose death is a testimony to Such, conspicuously and principle. powerfully, was the death of Charles Carter, and it became a rare inspiration to all his comrades in defence of their Government and city against the wicked and crazy rebellion which rose so dangerously against them. Mr. Carter was just thirty years old. Of fine presence and strong powers of body and mind, he had easily become a leader among our young men. He was eldest son of the late Henry A. P. Carter, Hawaiian Minister at Washington. He was one of the five Commissioners who in February, 1893, negotiated a Treaty of Annexation with President Harrison. He took a leading part in the Convention which made the Constitution of the Republic of Hawaii. Mr. Carter has left a young widow with two babies, for whom Hawaii will have special love and care. Miss Eunice B. Knight. For over seventeen years this most excellent Christian lady has unobtrusively moved among us, deeply loved by those who knew her best. She came here with her sister Mrs. Dr. Hyde, and their aged mother, the care of whom largely devolved upon her. Miss Knight was herself much of an invalid, especially in her later years. The home of the Knights was in the noble old New luigland town of Brimfield, Mass. Mrs. Hyde is now left the last survivor of her original family. Executive Clemency. The creation of a Military Commission for the prompt trial and sentence of those involved in the recent insurrection was manifestly a wise and necesssry measure and in accordance with the conditions of martial law. That tribunal is still in session conducting its trial of offenders with manifest deliberation and impartiality. It decisions on the scores of cases before it have not yet been announced. We suppose it to be the sole function of that tribunal to apportion its awards of penalty simply in accordance with the degrees of guilt proved in the various offenders, and that any remission of such penalties is the prerogative of the Executive. It is the privilege and duty of every good citizen at this time most earnestly to implore God's guidance and blessing upon both the Court and the Executive [February, 1895. in the performance of their respective duties in this grave matter. A most heavy and painful duty is now laitl upon these men in authority. They may claim our deepest sympathy and most earnest prayers. There can be no doubt that the supporters of the Government, fresh from the heart of conflict, and still agitated with the sense of peril to their homes and families, are in danger of being over eager for the condign punishment of those who have sought to overthrow good government and destroy the public peace. At the same time the sacred interests imperilled unquestionably demand adequate satisfaction for the injury done, as well as such security against renewed attack as may be afforded Insurable penalties. All wise men will desire that the fitting course to puisne in each case should be calmlyand prudently determined. Among the considerations involved, is the one that too great severity may produce reaction of public feeling, as the heat of our struggle passes off, and thus may weaken the public support, instead of being a source of security. VVe all feel that we would like now to make ourselves secure against the recurrence of insurrection. But how far is it possible to gain such security by mere severity ? Our only real security must be in the merciful protection of God. At the same time, He puts into our own hand., the means of protection, and expects us to use those means. We are not to mis use them. We are not to overrate them. May Cod guide us all in the right medium between undue severity and unwise clemency. But if we are to err, it must be better to be too merciful than too sc /ere. Compassion for the Prisoners. There are now languishing in the various prisons in this city more than three hundred persons implicated in the rebellion. Their condition is one calling forth great and painful compassion. The meanest of them are suffering from the actual confinement, as well as from the sense of restriction to liberty. A very considerable number are persons accustomed to the enjoyment of luxury, which they have exchanged for the hard and narrow conditions of prison life. It can only be with great pain that we contemplate the infliction of so much suffering, however necessary—and it is unquestionably necessary in the highest degree, for the public safety, which has been so terribly imperilled. It may be hoped that a large number of these persons will be exonerated from complicity in the rebellion and soon be set free. F"or those who cannot be so delivered, we are permitted to feel deep regret for their sufferings, "remembering those that are in bonds, as bound with them.'' �Vol. 53, No. 2.] RECORD OF EVENTS. Jan.

On the pro position being accepted the three natives had recourse to a Bible. One named a book, another a chapter, and the third a verse. Tbe passage thus selected proved to be Matt. 4:7, which has in it the following striking text, "Thou aha.lt not tempt the Lord thy God." This was taken by the young man as a message unfavorable to the rebel undertaking, and he did not go to the front, although he was possessed of firearms. His two friends went, for'their minds were already made up, and refused to accept the application made of the text. Later, on hearing of the failure of the undertaking and of the capture of his friends, he was heard to remark that after all his view of the teaching of that scripture was the correct one. 00 another, to 00 on being asked, with 4S 17 .. Kaumakapili Church was done just as we were in the excitement caused by the coming to the city of the Japanese strikers from Hwa plantation.

Vol. 53, No. 2.] IH) *2,;i()'.) OS 1fo,l(i7 22 Not a few of our good native friends, in addition to the members of the brave police force, took Up arms in defense of the republic. More of them, to our per tonal knowledge, wanted to do so, and would have could they have secured arms. One native pastor did active soldier's duty in the field. lieing a good shot he was sent up Nuuanu valley to guard the lines and spot the enemy. So far as has been found out only one na tive preacher, and he is an ex-pastor of long standing, has been tracked to the rebel camp. Rev. JiroOkabe, pastor of the Lyceum (Jap. Congl.) Church of this city, and associate superintendent of the work of the Hawaiian Board among the Japanese of these islands, has taken the oath of allegiance to the republic. He did this in part as an example to It will be remembered that not long since the Rev. S. W. Kekuewa felt it necessary for him no longer to hold back and temporize with royalists in his parish, but to step boldly out and be a leader of his people as a pronounced friend of good government. On his taking the oath of allegiance a storm of abuse was emptied on him. So strenuous was the opposition of some of his parishioners that he felt it necessary to call a council, which met ami advised him to suspend the contumacious brethren from their Church privileges. This he has delayed doing, and now he is glad of it, for the utter breaking down of the hopes of the royalists has put a new face on the whole matter; and the pastor, once so distrusted as a traitor to monarchical interests, is again accepted as a faithful spiritual father and leader whom it may be wise in future to follow. Rev. Waiamau, with all his accounts square up to the first of the year, with the debt on his Church-building put in a manageable condition, and with some of the bucking and kickey members of his Church in jail because of their treasonable designs against the government, and that irrepressible schemer deacon, now thoroughly cowed to a timely meekness of deportment, is in a better condition to minister to his frightened flock. They are more ready now than they were, many of them, to listen to the voice of the shepherd. Indeed, the score and a half of men of the Hawaiian pastorate who have so wisely read the signs of the tines, and proved their loyalty to good government by taking the oath to support the Republic, are now, to speak metaphorically, "on deck." Waiamsu and Kekuewa are there, and staunch Pali and Kekahuna and Manase moat forbearing of men; also Kuia, Waiau and Kalaiwaa, Desha and Sam Kapti, Kamau and Hanaike, Kanoho and Kopa, and up with any white man in his loyal service is Lzera -for he it was who, clear eyed and spry, took his gun to the front. With these noble men stand most of their younger brethren. Only a few of the Hawaiian pastorate, pi rhaps six or seven at the most, have temporized during these trying times, and secretly sympathized with the lost cause, and so failed of the respect and leadership which they might otherwise now have been enjoying. Two or three have been placed in positions most perplexing where they could hardly have been expected to act otherwise than as neutrals. Those two veteran legislators and statesmen, the Revs. Kauhane and losepa, are in a position to say with double force what they said so well in the legislature of 189'J, for evidently it is now a time when wise and loving words, as well as those which are tempered with a measure of proper sternness, may be spoken to effect. Korea. ByBMAL rs. yons. (Continued from lust month.) How the Japanese wrested a treaty from the unwilling Koreans in 1876, and bow after bloodshed and diplomacy the United States, England and France obtained treaties, we must not stop to say. By these treaties four ports were opened for trade, and a circuit of 450 miles about each port. This gave the Protestants the opportunity they had long been waiting for; for though they were not allowed to push their work aggressively, they were allowed to sell any books they pleased in the open districts, and they might preach in their own quarter. Before the treaty, however, the Rev. John Ross of Moukden, Manchuria, had obtained a Korean teacher, and succeeded in translating the gospel of St. Luke and a tract which gave a simple exposition of the Christian religion. The Korean printer was converted before the printing was entirely finished, and he started out to sell a few hundred copies in the valleys of the extreme north of Korea. Twice he came �[February, 1895. THK FRIFNO. 16 back for more books, with the messages each time that there were companies of believers waiting for Mr. Ross to come and baptize them. Finally, he and an other missionary made the difficult and dangerous journey over the snowy pass es into the forbidden land, and there they found in all 85 converts who were prepared for baptism. Some of these early converts under Mr. Ross, formed the nucleus of the first church in Seoul. Dr. Allen of the Presbyterian board was the first protestant to arrive in Seoul after the ports were opened; this was in 1884 and a missionary of the Methodist board came the same year. Dr. Allen had the good fortune to cure the Prince Mm soon after his arrival, and as tbe Prince had been given up by the native doctors, this was a great gain for foreign missions. The government at once set apart property for a hospital, to be under the control of the missionaries, and it has been maintained ever since. Koreans are so strangely ignorant of the slightest medicine or surgery, that medical missionaries have a wide field before them. A simple minister is safe in the treaty districts, but a phy; ician may travel from one end of the land to the other and meet a welcome everywhere. This fact has been acted upon with wisdom by all the boards now work ing in Korea, and the plan is to have a physician at each station with the other workers. Women-physicians are also sent by each board, as the women of Korea, with the exception of those of the lowest classes, are quite as secluded as those in the zenanas of India. They have, however, one advantage over their Indian sisters —they can almost invariably read in the Korean, and thus books and tracts are received with eagerness by them. They have also one custom, which I commend to the attention of our women-suffragists—at the sound ol the eight o'clock bell every man must flee to his house and there remain until morning, as the women claim the evening hours as their peculiar property. There are several hospitals located in Seoul, and thousands of patients have been treated in them, and as they come from all the provinces, and as they all have gospel instruction while under treatment, it is hoped that in this way regions may be reached where the mis sionaries cannot at present go. One new feature of the past year is the open ing of "The Shelter," a hospital for the numberless Koreans who, according to the cruel custom, on becoming seriously ill are turned out of doors. The funds for this shelter came unsolicited, and it is conducted as an unsectarian institution, and it is hoped that money will come for a chapel in the same way to be built alongside. The Societies now working in Korea are the Northern and Southern Presbyterian of the United States, and the Methodist Episcopal, the Church of England, the Australian and the Cana- J dian Itinerant Mission. Seoul is of course the chief center of work, and here, in addition to hospitals, government medical school and dispensaries, are churches, several street chapels, printing presses and the schools for boys and girls. The yearly civil service examinations of the government too, are held here, and thus large numbers of people from all parts of the country may at least hear something of the gospel. The force of missionaries now in the field is entirely inadequate, as the tot.il number from all societies is but 26 married men; 14 single men and Ls single ladies to work for from twelve to sixteen million souls. The Romanists have numbers at work there, realizing that WOW is the time to give Korea a religion. There are said to be 30,000 Roman Catholics in Korea now, and whole villages have lately become Romanist in name. There is a deep distrust of the Roman Catholics, owing to their methods of work in the past and the present, and our missionaries say that people are often unwilling to take their books until assured that they are not Roman Catholics. Many of the highest nobles are Catholics, and for this reason the doings of the piiests, although strictly against the law, have been winked at by the government, and therefore our missionaries feel that they also will be unmolested, if the) work more aggressively than they at first thought possible. They have taken pains to do everything openly, and when they have been ordered away from one place, they have quietly obeyed and gone to work in another. Besides Seoul there are stations at Fusan, at the southern end of the peninsula, Gensan, on the eastern coast, Chemulpo, the port of Seoul, and at Fuijti, near the mouth of the Yalu river. The latest station opened is Pyeng Yang in the northern inter ior, one of the oldest and wickedest cities in Korea. News came from there last Spring that just after Dr. and Mrs. Hall's arrival in Pyeng Yang, the house was attacked, and the native christians beaten and thrown into prison. Dr. and Mrs. Hall themselves weie threatened, but they and Mr. Mofl'ett have held the post bravely, and all is quiet there at present, the natives having been released on the representations of the British and U. S. Consuls, but the position of missionaries in the city is not yet settled. Our missionaries have a legal right to hold property and live there, as that privilege has been granted already to an American merchant and a Japanese In Japan it was ten years before a single convert was gained, but at the end of the first decade of work in Korea there are between two and three hundred communicants in the Protestchurches, and many applicants for baptism, awaiting further instrucli. n. It takes unusual heroism for a Korean to become a christian. He must give up his worship of ancestors, and that means that he is at once cast out of the clan, and deprived of his means of subsistence, for no one will employ a christian. This worship of ancestors is carried to such an extreme that families will starve rather than neglect the costly offerings to the dead, or the care of their burial places. Since the opening of the ports it is much harder fcr a Korean to earn his living, as many of their native manufactures are killed by cheaper foreign goods. The country is rich but undeveloped, and today poverty is the rule in the peninsula. The Korean of any but the lowest class has been brought up to think labor a disgrace, and this is another trouble our missionaries have to contend with. But in spite of this fact there are some Korean christians who are setting a noble example of independence, and several have graduated from the schools, who are doing grand evangelical woik. Crowds attend street preachings, and the books and tracts carried about the country meet a ready sale. Our missionaries are full of hope, but plead earnestly for more help at once. They want to occupy the capital of each province, with a physician and minister, and thus make centers of light all over the peninsula.

The year IN9-I will stand out prominent in the history of Hawaii together with 1893, as one in which much history was made. Compared with the former, its skies have been blight, although not free from clouds. One year ago we were only just emerging from great darkness and bitter trouble. Since then our public affairs have been brightening. On July 4th, we were permitted with great glad ness to witness the establishment ol Republican Government under a Constitution admirably fitted to the character and needs of• the people. Our country has continued to advance in prosperity. Politically and commercially the prospects of the New Year are bright for Hawaii. In the United States, the great event of the year has been the overwhelming victory of the Republican party over the Democratic, together with a most powerful rallying in the cities, against municipal corruption, and the grand victoryled by Dr. Parkbnrst over the incredible corruptions of Tammany and its police. The formation of reforming associations in many cities with earnest purpose betokens a brighter day for the government of American cities. The dark and thundrous cloud of war still hangs heavy over the west of our Pacific Ocean. Japan nas come to the ChristmE a ve Was duly celebrated at the various Mission and Church Sunday Schools. The celebration at the Chinese Church was a very complete one with a pro. gramme of 28 numbers, including a long and well executed Cantata. There was a highly decorated schooner to illustrate the Voyage of Life. The Portuguese Sunday School -had a fine celebration the same evening. At the Methodist Japanese Mission and the Congregational Japanese Mission the celebrations were good, and the little tolks at all were loaded with presents. At Kaumakapili Church, the Superintendent? Mrs. Dillingham, presided over a noble Christmas tree. Thrum's Annual. 1 Number 1 Corner Stone of Pauahi Hall. On the afternoon of December 12th, a large assembly of the friends of Oahu College were gathered at the new building at that institution, which is in process of erection through the munificence of the Hon. C. R. Bishop. After addresses by President Hosmer, Chief Justice Judd and Hon. VV. R. Castle, President Dole performed the ceremony of laying the corner stone with the words, "At the request of the Hon. C. R. Bishop and the trustees of Oahu College, I now dedicate this building to the cause of science, education, and Christian civilization." He then stated that at the request of Mr. Bishop, he would announce the name of the building as "Pauahi Hall." The new edifice is situated on the west side of the Campus, near Punahou street, some distance makai of the laboratory building, and facing eastward. It is something like one hundred feet by sixty, with two stories, basement and tower. The extreme height will be 75 feet. The material of the structure is a beautiful blue gray basalt, quarried near The stone is compact, not vesicular like the lava of other by, in large blocks. recent buildings in Honolulu. Oahu College is making a strong and solid growth, as befits the leading college of these prosperous islands. The equipment of the new building will be greatly in advance of anything hitherto enjoyed in the college. There will be a splendid new organ, the gift of Mrs. S. N. Castle, whose husband was treasurer of the College for forty years. An art gallery will be begun. A Business college department is about to be added under the instruction of a nephew of Rev. Dr. Beckwith. It is the purpose of the trustees to establish a Manual training school in the near future. A Gymnasium for the properp hysical development of the students is hoped for. Above all, may Punahou continue, and grow more and more to be a nursery of lofty aims and high moral and spiritual growth. Hawaii needs trained snd developed brains, but needs yet more cultivated hearts and exalted Christ-like The regular issue of this important work for 1K95 is in hand.

This peninsula to which all eyes are turned with interest just now, is in reality an island, for the two rivers which form its northern boundary, the Yalu and the Tumen, both rise in the same lake on the summit of the "ever white mountain," the one flowing into the Yellow sea, the other into the sea of Japan. The land has been compared to the waves of the sea, so very mountainous is it, and yet it is full of rich and fertile valleys, and the first time that a Roman Catholic priest looked down upon the forbidden land, he was filled with delight at the prospect and wrote of it as a veritable "Land'of Promise." The climate varies from that of northern New York state to that of the Gulf states, and its fauna includes the animals of both Temperate and Torrid Zones. The area of the peninsula and its ten thousand outlying islands is about equal to Minnesota. Korea has suffered from her neighbors from pre historic times, as twice before now China and Japan have fought each other on her soil; the hordes from Manchuria have descended upon her from time to time; and now Russia stands at the lumen river waiting to seize her chance to enter and possess herself of the coveted harbor of Gensang, on the sea of Japan. Yet in spite of her enemies Korea has remained strictly the "Hermit Nation." Up to the year 1876, when Japan forced a treaty from her, it was not only death for a foreigner to enter the country; it was also death for a Korean to shelter a foreigner a single night. There were two loop-holes through which Korea viewed other countries. At Ai-Chiu, on the Yalu river, was established a trading post with China, where during stipulated hours of the day commodities might be exchanged, but after the striking of a certain gong, any foreigner found on the Korean side of the river was put to death. At Fusan, at the southern end of the peninsula, was the other trading post, and here was a Japanese commercial settlement, but the Japanese were kept strictly within their own quarter. Who the aboriginal inhabitants were no one can tell, but when Xi Tze, a Chinese sage with his 5,000 followers emigrated to the peninsula, he found people living there, dressed in leaves and dwelling in caves, whom he conquered and civilized and amalgamated with his own people. This was in the year 1122, B. C. It was this sage who gave the name "Chosen" to the country, a name which has the beautiful meaning "Morning Calm." About the time of our Christian era the people of F'uyu, north of the White mountain, began to spread down into the peninsula. They were men of the Tartar race, tall and well formed, fine horsemen and fearless fighters, and they possessed a civilization equal to that of China. The already mixed race was further enriched, and in reality dominat ed by them, and the Chinese found the resulting Korean people unconquerable until the seventh century, when two of the three kingdoms were annexed by China for awhile. In the tenth century Wang, a man of old Fuyu stock joined a Buddhist priest in a rebellion against the worthless rulers. They were successful, and Wang was proclaimed King. His ambition was to unify the peninsula, and this he was soon able to do, as China was then torn byinternal troubles, and Shinra, the eastern kingdom, bud become weak and enervated through He long peace and luxurious living. chose Sunto, 2ft miles from Seoul, as his capital, and it has ever since been a fortified city of the first tank, a scat ol learning and a commercial centre, and until 1392 it was the capital. Wang was a Buddhist, and he made Buddhism the State religion. From his time through -I centuries were the Balmy days of that faith, and magnificent temples, monasteries and schools were established everywhere. According to the habit of the religion, the local deities were adopted and nailed under new names, as previous incarnations of Buddha, when Buddhism first entered the country, and from the first it had been a potent factor in the civilization of Korea. It was Buddhism that brought literature to tbe lower classes as well as to the nobles, and a Buddhist priest invented the Korean alphabet, said to be one of the most perfect in the world. Wherever Buddhism penetrated, more or less literature was published in the speech of the unlearned, and often the first books for the people were on religion. All Korean nobles and literary men possess a critical knowledge of Chintse classics, and from the Fifth to the Seventeenth centuries, the young men of good family were sent to China to be educated. To this day it is difficult to persuade them that anything printed in the Unmun, or common language is worthy of their attention; they leave that to the lower classes and their women. In 1218 the 'great Genghis Khan, who at the head of the Mongol hordes had been sweeping Asia, now invaded Korea and claimed itas a vassal state. It was about this time that the remarkable half-century of intercourse between China and Europe began, when Marco Polo and other travellers visited and traded in China, and Christian churches were established by the Franciscan monks in Peking and other places. When the grandson of the great Genghis came to the throne, he determined to conquer the Japanese . Janury,1895. also. He demanded the help of his Korean vassals, and twice, with large fleets, he attempted to invade the Island Kingdom, but his fleet met with the same fate as the Spanish Armada, when it sailed to invade England; the ships were either wrecked or scattered, and the soldiers who did attempt to land were met with such furious resistance that only a few survivors were left to tell the story in Korea. "This alliance of Korea with their enemies enraged the Japanese, and from that time may be dated a bitter hatred between the two nations, still further intensified by the fact that Japanese pirates lor two centuries harried the Korean coast and gathered spoil fr >m the rich cities. Before this time there had often heen pleasant relations between the two countries; large bands of Korean refugees from time to time had .settled in Japan, and in fact Japan has received most of her knowledge of the arts from Korea, as well as the Buddhist faith. The dynasty of Wang, the first King of united Korea, was overthrown in 1392, by a patriot named Ni Taiko, and the present ruler of Korea is of the same family. Ni Taiko abolished the sacrifice of human victims and the burial alive of old men, terrible customs which Buddhism hid never been able to utterly destroy, and he disestablished that religion, and made Confucianism the leading system, though it had been introduced into the peninsula before Buddhism. Since that time it has flourished more and more, and the two faiths exist side by side in the land, each leavened and permeated by the dreadful demon worship and other superstitions, which together with the worship of ancestors, make the work of our missionaries exceedingly difficult. The years 1092—1597 are memorable in Korea as the period of the two great Japanese Invasions, when the Japanese seizing upon a slight pretext made war upon Korea hoping through her to humble China. They swept the peninsula from end to end in a series of brilliant battles and sieges, though large armies of Chinese had come to-the help of the Koreans, but they were finally compelled to retreat to their own country after desolating the land and burning and looting the most magnificent temples and cities. Fifty thousand Japanese perished, and nearly three hundred thousand Koreans were killed, their ears and noses were cut off and carried to Japan to be deposited in the great "Ear Monument" now to be seen in Kioto. After this cruel and unprovoked war was over Korea continued to pay tribute as before to both China and Japan. Early in the 17th century the Manchius north of the "F.ver- white mountain" began to rebel against their vassal lord the emperor of China. He tried to keep them in order by means of cruel and stringent measures, and put their King to death. Upon that they determined to �53, No. I.] conquer China. They fought their way to Peking, overthrew the Ming dynasty and placed the son of their King on the throne, thus starting the present dynasty. Korea, in 1037, was the first state to submit and offer tribute to the conqueror, and for this reason the Koreans were allowed to keep their national style of *hair dressing—the knot on top of the head,— while the Chinese, who up to this time had also worn the top-knot, were now compelled to wear the pigtail as a sign of loyalty. From that time the yearly embassage from Korea to China has never failed, though the embassage to Japan has been intermittent. Japanese invasion a At the time Korean youth was adopted by one of the invading Generals, who was a Christian, and sent home by him to be educated in a Jesuit school in Kioto. He became a priest, and his fust work was among his fellow countrymen who had been sent as prisoners to Japan, and large numbers were converted and baptized by him. He tried to enter his owti country as a missionary in 1013, but after four years spent'in unavailing efforts to pass the frontiers, he was obliged to return to Japan, where in the terrible persecutions that soon raged there, he and the other Korean Christians met death as bravely as did the thousands of Jap anese who then died for their faith. The story of Roman Catholic Missions in Korea is a thrilling one, but we can touch on only the prominent points. The Dominicans tried to enter in 1018, but failed, but in 1777 a party of young Korean scholars, who had met to study critically the texts of Confucius, obtained a quantity of tracts from Peking on the Christian and Roman Catholic religion, treating of the Existence of God, Divine Providence, Immortality of the Soul, the Conduct of Life, the Seven Capital Sins and the Seven Contrary Virtues. Surprised and delighted, the) determined to attain to a full understanding of the new doctrines. They began at once to practice the little they knew, and morning and evening they read and prayed, and they set apart four Sabbaths in the month for fasting and meditation. The leader of the move ment felt that their notions were dim and confused, and hoped for light from Peking. His friend Seghuin.son of the embassador to Peking, was able in 1753 to get more books and information from the Franciscans there, and was himself converted and baptized. The name of Peter was given to him for the monks hoped that on that rock the church in Korea should be founded. Peter succeeded in passing the sentinels on'his return with the books, and after he and his friend had given themselves up to study and meditation for awhile, they began to preach, and numbers of nobles and commoners were converted and baptized. It is a commentary on Roman Catholic methods when we remember THE FRIEND. 3 Vol. that the aids given Peter were the Lives themselves, that a bishop acted as a of Saints, Catechisms, Prayer books; pilot and spy on a man-of-war, and a Not a priest was guide- to ii buccaneering raid. crosses, images and pictures. bit of the Bible was sent to these hungry It is small wonder that our Protestant souls.

Let us call things by their right names, and not be befooled out of our common sense. Gilbertese Orthography. Rev. Dr. Bingham gave a very in- structive and entertaining lecture in Central Union meeting, on the sth ult., upon the process of reducing the language of the Gilbert islanders to writing. It was a much more complicated task that that of Dr. B's father and his associates, of reducing Hawaiian to writing. Besides a number of sounds unknown in English, Gilbertese lacks many of our most common consonants, such as S, D, F, G-hard, H, L, P, R, V, Z Hence it is very difficult to express foreign names in any recognizable form. Old Hawaiians used to transform haole words in a fearful manner, but nothing like the Gilbertese. There were about 6,000 words in that language. Proper names in the Bible and other books, together with foreign terms have added several thousands more. Dr. and Mrs. Bingham are steadily adding needful literature for the schools and churches. Cruelty and Retribution. It is necessary that the master of a ship should hold despotic authority. With the debased character of a majority of the seamen under their control, it is inevitable that much severity occurs in their treatment of their men. Extreme cruelty like that brought to light by the abuse and murder of the sailor Charles Peterson, we believe to be rare. The ship was the bark Paul Isenberg on her passage last winter from San Francisco to Hamburg. Peterson was slow and dull. The mate Spree conceived a malignant spite against him. With the aid and connivance of Captain Biet, and the second mate Muller, Spree inflicted a series of most cruel inflictions of abuse and torture upon Peterson during three months, until on the 1 Ith of March, 1894, the latter wasted by long suffering succumbed while undergoing fresh tortures for several hours. The details were most revolting. Spree was tried in Hamburg, and sentenced to eight years in the penitentiary. Muller had fled. Biet released on ban, returned to Honolulu in his ship. Reaching port the other day he learned the result of the trial. Seeing before him a like just punishment, he committed suicide by taking laudanum. How tragic, how pitiable this wretched man's dcs- Janury, 1895. pair! But when a master makes his his work latterly fell somewhat behind ship a hell, he will reap the retribution in merit.

Robert Louis Stevenson. We regret to record the recent death of this distinguished writer of fiction at his island home in Samoa. He possessed rare gifts. There was a strange power and fascination in his style. On his first visit to Honolulu some years since, he recommended to us "Kidnapped," as his best book. In repeated readings of it, we endeavored to analyse the secret of the marvellous charm of the sentences. We actually found the analysis impossible, because the attention invariably became unconsciously drawn back to the story. Mr. Stevenson was in wretched health in his later years, and Judge H. A. Widemann has returned from the trip to Europe on which he sailed September 15th. He absolutely denies that his errand was a political one, or that he has had the slightest connection with any conspiracy to overthrow the Government of the Republic. There appears no reason to doubt the truth of his denial. The reports denied doubtless grew out of Mr. Widemann's heading in the summer a commission to Washington in behalf of the ex queen, which was unsuccessful. The fatuous character of the conspiracy of Bush and Nawabi, lately unearthed, forbids the idea of the complicity of anycapable business man in such childish schemes. �Bush's Conspiracy. THE FRIEND.

The evidence was strong against them. Several guns were found secreted in Bush's house, ami more in other houses. The details of their plans, as disclosed, indicated an unusual childishness and fatuity. They had provided no adequate supply of arms, had no drilled forces, nor any but a few whites, and a mob of untrained natives win.in they fancied they could induce to follow them. With these they hoped to capture the city and government buildings by a surprise. Meantime the government kept fully informed of their schemes, and captured them when they had gone far enough. No agitation or excitement has ensued. Doubtless there will now bean end to Bush's overflow of incendiary talk in Ka Leo, if not of his railing at all decent people. The country may now hope for a rest from absurd tumors of impossible insurrections. Saki, A New Curse. Fresh devices for men's damage and destruction appear from time to time. This time one has come from Japan. It is saki, a wine distilled from rice. It is cheaply produced. It enters here with a light duty like Californian cheap wines, as it contains like them only 18 per cent, of alcohol. It is far more intoxicating than those wines, by reason of its vastly greater proportion of amylic alcohol, or fusel oil. It can be sold much cheaper than they, and is a special favorite with natives and other lower classes, on account of its greater intoxicating power. Hence saki has driven out most other wines and liquors from the ordinary trade of the saloons. The worst feature of saki, is the destructive effect of its fusel oil upon the substance of the brain, and through that upon the whole nervous system. It is a rank poison, rapidly crazing those who freely indulge in it, and disintegrating their systems to a much greater degree "than ordinary intoxicants. Our treaty with Japan forbids discrimination against Japanese products as such. It is to be hoped that a duty prohibitory or nearly so, may soon be placed upon alcoholic products of rice. If the Hawaiians are worth saving, this should speedily be done. The California wine men are furious at the loss of their Hawaiian trade. We are not deeply moved by any grief on that account. . Rev. R. W. Hutchings having withdrawn his name November 23rd from its expected consideration as Pastor of Central Union Church, that church by the ballots of over two thirds of the voting membership, on Dec. 19th, determined to call as Pastor the Rev. Douglas P. Birnie of N. Allston, Mass. was made in our article of last month. We are glad to reprint from the P. C. Advertiser the following accurate statement by Prof. Alexander: The proprietors of the Holomua have done the public a great service by reprinting a translation of tbe first Constitution and the first Code of Laws ot the Hawaiian Kingdom,, which were enacted from time to time from 1839 to 1842 inclusive. The translation was made by Rev. W. Richards. I have not yet had time to critically compare the reprint with the original edition, which was published at Lahainaluna in 1842, and has now become very rare, but I regret to see that the noble Declaration of Rights, which properly forms the introduction to the Constitution, has been omitted in the Holcmua's reprint. As both the Holomua and The Friend they treated. In some particulars these laws were pronounced defective, in others erroneous, and the writer was directed to rewrite them and conform them to the views that have been expressed. This was done, and they were thus considerably enlarged, and then passed a second reading at a meeting of the king and all the important chiefs of the islands. At this second reading a longer time was spent than at the first. They were still pronounced defective, and further additions and corrections were made in in the same manner and by the same person as before. They then passed their third and final reading, after which the king inquired of the chiefs if they approved, and on their saying "yes," he replies, "I also approve," and then rose and in their presence affixed his name to it. The statement just quoted vindicates for the king and chiefs the principal share in drawing up the Code, which is highly creditable to all who took part in framing it, and may be regarded as the Hawaiian Magna Charta. It gave the common people a feeling of security unknown before, and formed the first step toward establishing individual property in the land. It also guaranteed freedom of worship, and put an end to persecution for religious opinions. These "Blue Laws" established for the first time a uniform system of taxation, and abolished all the oppressive local and arbitrary taxes levied by governors or chiefs. They also put an end to all arbitrary forced labor, as well as to most of the oppressive tabus that had rested on fishing. Chapter LIV. ably recapitulates these reforms, and gives a vivid picture of the cruel and oppressive system that had formerly prevailed. They were eminently practical, and on the whole well suited to those times and to the character of the people for whom they were enacted. They formed the first step in that upward progress which has at last culminated in the establishment of the Republic of Hswaii. VV. D. Alexander. seem to be under the erroneous impression that this Code "was the work of Rev. Wm Richards and Dr. G. P. Judd, then recently of the American Mission, aided by other gentlemen," it seems to be worth while to re-state the facts regarding its origin. During the period referred to, Dr. Judd was residing in Honolulu, and was still a member of the American Mission. He did not become connected with the Government until May, 1842, after the publication of the translation of the so called "Blue Laws." Rev. Wm. Richards, who lived at Lahaina, was employed by the chiefs as Government translator and teacher of political science, but did not personally take part in drafting this Code, which contains unmistakable evidence that it was originally composed in the Hawaiian language, and by Hawaiians. As the translator says: "Several of the original laws were drafted by David Malo, some by John Ii; nearly all the laws on the subject of taxation were drawn up by Boaz Mahune, and the first drafts of others were written by Timothy Keaweiwi, Daniel Ii and others.

The case is urgent. Besides that which we are doing for those of the Polynesian and Latin races, we are trying to evangelize about 40,000 Asiatics. We have over thirty teachers and evangelists at work among them; including those at work among the Portuguese, they are thirty-six in all, with six well organized schools, six churches, and nearly a score of preaching stations. Our work among the Hawaiians is very varied. We stand back of some fifty ordained ministers, about forty of whom are conducting the work in fiftyfour churches. Most of these men ought to have grants in aid for present emergencies, for their support is most Three of our four native meager. schools are without endowment. The great work they are doing for the education of Hawaiian character could hardly be continued without the support of this Board. For the carrying on of all these branches of the work we ask your generous support. Contributions sent to the Treasurer Wm. W. Hall will be grateful received and duly acknowledged. Any preferring to make quarterly or monthly donations will find the pledge list open. In behalfof the Hawaiian Board, O. P. Fmf.rson, Secretary. Wm. W. Hall, Treasurer. The grading on Oahu Railway is well advanced towards Waianae Mill. It is hoped by March Ist to have the cars running to that point. Experienced railway men are making sanguine predictions of the early development of business along the line. Land and Improvement These recently completed works are an important addition to the business of Honolulu. Two miles northwest of the town, on the line of the Railway, stands a group of large buildings with a lofty chimney. These structures belong to the Pacific Guano and Fertilizer Co., of which H. Hackfeld & Co. are the promoters and agents. Besides warehouses now containing some 5000 tons of crude and manufactured fertilizers, there is a large manufactory of sulphuric acid, also massive grinding and mixing apparatus and a large laboratory. The whole is under the direction of Dr. Averdam. The guano comes from Laysan Island. Five salaried officers and thirty laborers are employed. Branch tracks of the Oahu Railway connect the establishment directly with the ships. Company. A great public service is about to be rendered by a company just incorporated under the above title with $25,000 paid up stock. The name of P. C. Jones guarantees its high character. They have begun operations by purchase from W. H. Shipmanofa tract of splendid coffee and orange land of 3,277 acres lying northwest of the new Volcano road, below Olaa. This they propose to divide up into small farms and sell to settlers. They wilf*pen roads through it. They will also start planting for purchasers if desired. They will give credit on liberal terms at a low rate of interest. Besides coffee and oranges, sugar cane, pine apples, tobacco and bananas may be profitably grown on these lands.
