We have no doubt that his duties here involve the most serious con Number 4. Removal of the American Flag. Whatever may have impaired the condition of independence and autonomy of this Government, is now 'emoved, and the Hawaiian Government is again oerfectly and in every sense independent. The annexationists by no means appear to be cast down. They are disposed to interpret the event favorably to their cause, as being the removal of an alleged incapacity of this Government to negotiate a Treaty while under even the very limited sort of a Protectorate understood to exist. No evidence, however, as yet has transpired, that Mr. Mount has any negotiations in view. The Royalists, on their part are cautious and moderate in their expressions of gratification, as if doubting what would be the next step taken. Many strange and extravagant rumors are circulating. In the midst of all the Commissioner preserves a sphinx-like attitude of silence, and the public, at this writing of April 3d, awaits with anxiety the next step in his programme. The Hawaiian revolution, thus far, and we trust always, bloodless, is nevertheless very dramatic in its successive On the arrival of the U. S. Commissioner Blount, the business portion of the city front blossomed out gorgeously in a profuse display of American flags til all sizes.

It has an especial interest, as being written by the eminent missionary who estab lished the famous Robert College ol Con stantinople, the venerable Cyius Hamlin, L.L.D., and who was also the brother of Vice-President Hannibal Hamlin, whose name is associated with that of Lincoln. LEXINGTON, March 4, 1899. My Dkar Mr. Portkr, I am glad to know that you are acquainted with Mr. Dole, who is at the timately acquainted with his father in Bowdoin College. Together with his cousin, Nathan Dole, we established a Society of Inquiry on Missions. Six or eight students belonged to it, of whom three at least entered the foreign field. Dole was from the beginning very sincerely consecrated to the work among the heathen. He was a diligent and careful student, not brilliant but faithful to every department of studdy. He was something of a poet, or as he would say, he did not write poetry but he made rhymes. We belonged to the same college societies. In those primitive times every society had its annual celebration, with an oration and, if possible, a poem. We had a "Theological Society," handed down to us from former years. The object was not to study theology, but to keep track of the isms and sects that divided the church. It was rather church history than theology that we studied. I was appointed to give. the oration and Dole the poem. He naturally roamed over the heathen world with its lights and shades, and the coming glory of the millenium. He wanted more i riental names than he could command so as to choose such as the laws of versification demanded. He came to me for help, and I gave him a list of such oriental names as I could gather from Sir William Jones and other writers on the orient. While he was delivering his poem, I recognized my oriental friends under characters which probably they never bore. In those days of sealing wax, sentimental seals ware various and numerous. 1 fell in with one that struck me as beautiful and impressive. It was a lone mortal in a little boat at sea, gazing at a solitary star, with the legend around the picture, "If I lose thee, I am lost." Though minute, it made an admirably clear impression upon the wax. 1 referred to it in one of our prayer meetings as the Star of Bethlehem. The next morning Dole gave me a really beautiful hymn the refrain of which was "If I lose thee lam lost." I kept it many years but cannot find it now. Dole was every way an excellent man, and I am delighted to see his son in such an honorable and influential position. In Bangor Theological Seminary, a little later, the same band was joined by J. D. Paris and Flias Bond. All three, Dole, Paris, and Bond have done immortal work on theHawaiian Islands. I am yours, Cyrus Hamlin. — Mrs. Leavitt'sLectures. During the latter part of her stay, Mrs. M. C. Leavitt favored the Honolulu public with two most graphic lectures on what she personally observed in Siam and Burmah, and in Madagascar, where she penetrated to the Capital, Antinanarivo. �Vol. 51, No. 4.J Bishop Willis on Missionaries. In the last issue of the Honolulu Diocesan Magazine on March ISth, much space was given by the Bishop to a diatribe against the American Mis sionaries and their children. The substance of his accusation is, that having been most hospitably received by the chiefs and people as their guests, both the father missionaries and their sons have always and persistently plotted for the overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy, and for the absorption of these Islands by the United States, a course of action which he compares to the conquest of Shechem by Simeon and Levi under the cloak of religion, and which he denounces in the severe language of Jacob. Were so plainly and absurdlyfalse a charge to be made by an unconspicuous person, we should pay no attention to it. As however, it proceeds from the head of the Anglican Church in Hawaii, it may be proper to notice it, as the position of its author will probably give it authority in many places where his peculiar mental structure is not understood. The attitude of our Missionary fathers toward the Hawaiian Monarchy is established matter of history, as every intelligent reader of that history well understands. The continued existence of the independent native monarchy of the Kamehamehas, was due, under (rod, wholly to the loyal, wise, and zealous efforts of the American Missionaries. With the greatest labor and patience, they enlightened the chiefs and the people, and inspired them with desire and purpose toward a Christian civilization. They persuaded the rulers to grant a liberal Constitution. They helped to train the people heartily to co-operate in sound legislation and administration. As the result, an aboriginal monarchy of the dark race has retained supremacy over a large and wealthy white community for fifty years; and it is the only instance on the globe of such a thing. Bishop Willis accuses the missionaries of having always plotted the overturn ol the monarchy, when but for their cherishing and guiding influence, the throne would have succumbed very early to hostile foreign intrigues, as every small native throne in the world has done as soon as foreign commerce got a solid foothold. The sons of the missionaries have always been proud of their fathers' noble achievement. They in turn have been loyal and zealous supporters of the native monarchy and of Hawaiian independence. That they have mostly ceased to be thus loyal is due solely to the gross corruption and decadence of the monarchy since theKamehamehas ceased from the throne, making its longer continuance incompatible with civilized institutions. We had hoped for a somewhat longer lease of life to the monarchy. Its THE FRIEND. inevitable end was precipitated by the wild act of the (jueen. In view of the many conflicting and dangerous elements within and without this dear and honored Island home of ours, which threaten disturbance and anarchy, we would gratefully recognize the protecting and guiding Providence which now seems to offer to Hawaii so safe and beneficent a shelter as that of the American Union, which ensures equal rights and full justice to all classes of its citizens. Every one must know that every native Hawaiian willbe a full citizen u'f the United States whenever Annexation shall be accomplished. It is not improbable that Bishop Willis and some of his coterie believe that the native Hawaiiana are to be treated as pariahs. Such an idea has been sedu'ously taught Hawaiiana ol late. They will have full citizenship and equal civil lights, and every person who asserts the contrary, is uttering what is a most base and cruel falsehood. We who advocate annexation are doing it not merely as for the general welfare of Hawaii, but because we believe it will be for the highest interests of the native Hawaiians as well. They will be delivered limn the heathenizing influence of the Court, which has long been dragging them down and destroying them. They will enjoy and profit by the powerlully elevating influences of American liberty and American citizenship. There is no enemy of Hawaiians so pernicious as be who would restore the unspeakable native monarchy. Annexation to Japan. This was the prescription recently made by Sir Edwin Arnold for the relief of Hawaii from its present unsettled political status. He offered it in the London Daily Telegraph. He knows Japan intimately, having maintained peculiar domestic relations with the people, and having been, with his leanings to Buddhism, much in the confidence of that government. Having last year spent six delightful hours in the company of the (jueen and her premier Sam Parker, he also knows all about Hawaii, and just what is good for us. At first we did not take seriously the possibly facetious proposition of the would be Laureate. We fancied it must be his way of paying a pretty co-npliment to bis dear Japanese. It now appears that there was a good deal more in it, and that the Japanese government have really not been without aspirations to enlarge their empire in this direction. Main rumors are afloat, and some facts are ti.inspiring about thee/rand hither of the splendid Japanese cruiser Naniva, which has been lying in this harbor since February 23rd. She sailed from home on the Bth, soon after news of our revolution was received in Japan. She is called one of the most powerful 27 ships in the navy. On board of her came Prince Komatsu a nephew of the Mikado, and son of Prince Arisugowa, who is a field marshal in the Japanese army. He is said to have been the one for whom Kalakaua once planned an alliance with the Princess Kaiulani. A high diplomatic representative of the Japanese Government also came on the Xniiiva. He visited Hilo on the training ship Ron go, and has been busy among the Japanese immigrants here. As to rumors, the Nauiva is said to have enough small arms on board to equip two or three thousand men ; also that as many as 1500 of the Japanese on this island have served in the army. 1 hat government have greatly encouraged the emigration to Hawaii. In that, there may have been no sinister design. We do not place very much dependance upon these rumors. But theknown facts are somewhatremarkable. Hawaii's relations to Japan have always been the most agreeable. The Japanese representatives indignantly deny the current rumor that the Naniva came here with any intention of taking possession of the Islands. It looks somewhat improbable that Japan would think of attempting such a thing while negotiations with Washington continued to be in progress. Still, in the possibility of their failure, it might be well for Japan tocome prepared to improve an opportunity. On the whole, it would seem to have been quite as well that the Naniva, on her arrival, found the American Flag floating over the Government House, and the U. S. forces in actual occupation. We may-now even feel thankful for the unpleasant pressure from another quarter which led our Provisional Government to seek the powerful protection of that flag,and which thusfrustrated in advance any possible schemes th..t the Naniva may have come freighted with. The whole affair is most suggestive of the unwisdom of seeking to maintain the independence of Hawaii in the midst of the increasing stress and strife of colliding political elements in the Pacific. / To pronounce Hawaii correctly, say Hah wye-ec, accenting wye. It will not be very far wrong to pronounce the name like "How-are-ye ?" Capt. Cook called it "O-whyhee." He- affixed an O, which is a kind of definite article used by the natives, and mistaken by Cook for part of the name itself. Besides this, Cook inserted an h before the last syllable I, pronounced cc, making it hee. "Why-ec" is very nearly correct. All missionaries throughout the world, in reducing native words to writing, employ the continental sounds ola,e, i, o, v, 00. At pronouncing them ah, ay, is a diphthong, pronounced eye, also an, pronounced ow. By following the above simple rules, any Hawaiian (hah wyeyun) word will be easily pronounced. �28 [April, 1893. THE FRIEND. Alleged Royalty and Japanese Plot. 'The Hawaiian Star of April Ist, alleges the existence of a conspiracy between the ex-Queen and the commander of the Japanese warship Naniwa, to land his forces after the removal of the American flag, arm a large number of Japanese on shore who are accustomed to arms, and replace Liliuokalani upon the throne under a Japanese protectorate. The P. C. Advertiser of the 3rd, having interviewed the Japanese Commissioner, is inclined to discredit the report. The "Star" of the 3rd reaffirms it strongly. We refrain from expressing any positive opinion upon the truth or error of this allegation. The "Star" claims to be in possession of abundant evidence of the fact. We have great confidence in the veracity and discernment of the Editor. On the other hand, we find it diffici'lt to believe that the ex-Queen would entertain so mad a project, one so necessarily d- ;tructive to herself, and one so insulting to the United States and their Commissioner, whose removal of the flag has been hailed by the royalists with so much satisfaction. The language of denial employed by the Japanese Commissioner, is shown by the analysis of the Star to be quite evasive. We are inclined towards an opinion that partisans of the exQueen may have been concerned in such a plot, without the personal connivance of herself. A marked degree of excitement has been very manifest among the numerous Japanese of the city for several days. The Provisional Government is strong, well armed, and well able to handle any insurrection on shore, which is not aided by foreign forces. We are fully competent to assert that the Japanese authorities on shore and afloat, are entirely aware that the United States will permit, no interference whatever with the Hawaiian Government by any foreign power, while the present negotiations are pending. In view of the menacing attitude of Japan towards these Islands, as shown in many marked and significant ways, the ultimate solution of the political problem cannot be doubted as lying in a speedy annexation to the United States, or failing that, in cession to Great Britain, as the next most desirable Christian Protector. Independence has thoroughly ceased to be a possibility. We have no doubt, however, of the favorable action of the United States. . 'J The devil is not afraid of a dusty Bible. I find that doing the will of God leaves me no room for disputing about his plans. Japan in Bonabk. —Since the above was put in type, the fact has transpired, through the arrival of the Morning Star, that the Japanese Government are trying to negotiate with Spain for the cession to them of the Island of Bonabe, or Ascension. It thus appears very definitely that Japan is stretching out for the possession of Pacific Islands. It seems really impossible to doubt that Japan has come into the list as an active competitor for the possession of Hawaii. 'To this Oriental domination Sir Edwin Arnold would cheerfully sacrifice us. rather than see us fall to detested America, like the mother of the dead child in the trial before Solomon, who would willingly see the living child of her rival slain. In the midst of this rivalry, a continued independence of Hawaii is a chimercal idea. We have only left us to seek our natural destiny in the honorable fellowship of the great and free American Union. the somewhat depressing intelligence of President Cleveland's withdrawal of the Treaty from the Senate.

Bond. Mr. Bond was one of the most esteemed and beloved of Hawaii's former residents. We hear of his death at West Newton, February 11. He first came to these islands for health in 185 L He held office as a Circuit Judge on Kauai, and subsequently from 1856 to 1861, as District Attorney on Maui. Returning to his native Boston, he became the founder and Secretary of the Union Safe Deposit Company, in which service he continued until his death. We were on terms of peculiar intimacy with Mr. Bond at Lahaina. Although as a Unitarian, and previously a minister of that denomination, we differed in theological opinions, we found him one of the devouted, sweetest, most unselfish Christians that we have ever known, and profoundly attached to our common Master and Lord. He was always in active sympathy with the American Missionaries. His son, Lawrence Bond, is the Hawaiian Consul for Boston, residing with his two sisters at the paternal home at West Newton. 29 THE FRIEND. Tin- Rev. 1). Y.

That they are not recognized as forming a distinct group is probably due to their being so low and small as not to be intervisible. 'This Fanning or Christinas group lies about 950 miles south ol the Hawaiian Is. It belongs to England, of course.

Emerson, - Editor. On the morning of the 27thoflast month (March) the Stararrived in port, after an absence uf nine months and days. Among the passengers up was Miss Alice C. Little, who, alter live years ot successful work in the Girls' School at Kusnie, returns to her home in Oherlin to seek rest. Miss Jennie Fletcher also came in the Star fro n Mokil. The Girls' School, which was moved thither from Ponape, h is been disbanded, and the last of the Miss pupils has been sent home. Fletcher's work in Micronesia is probably done, but it has been s noble one. The part sin: took during those sail days of Ponapean strife was a brave one, and we even thought it heroic. And now with br.ik :n health and in sickness she goes h line to her people in the United States. Miss Rose Kinney, of the (nils' School at Kuk, who came with Miss Fletcher to care for her in her sickness, is to oo no further, but is to return to her post on the return voyage of the Star. The news lias come ill the late severe illness of Rev. Mr. Snelling of Kuk, and also of the fact that Captain Worth and the Robert Logan may be expected here before long. The Robert Logan is in need of repairs. The Ponape question seems no nearer a solution than at first. Perhaps the best solution would be for the Japanese to buy Ponape of the Spaniards, and then take the mission into their own hands. Mr. and Mrs. Rand and Miss FosS propose to hold the fort at Mokil. Dr. and Mis. Pease and Miss Little mule a successful tour of the Marshall field, but the dm tor and family are to return to the States next year without fail. Mr. Channon and his Training School of twenty six, and Miss Hoppin's Girls' School of fifteen, made the tour of the Gilbert islands. There were just fortythree of them in all, while Dr. Pease and Miss Little took along in their tour of the Marshall group some forty-five. Once again the general meeting of the Gilbert Islands mission failed. Revs. Channon and Maka did the locating of the new Hawaiian missionaries. Rev. Nua is located at Hutaritari; Rev. Mahihila at Maiana, and Rev. Kaai at Apaian This last brother, who is settled over that demoralized and lapsed church, sends a pathetic appeal for remembrance in prayer. [April, 1893. The Hiram Bingham is reported by the Rev. Maka to have reached Butaritari Dec. 15, 1592, and to have sailed thence four days later (the Htth of December,) in search of the Star. We are greatly indebted to Mrs. Capt. Garland for the valuable information she has given in her journal about the mission work.

The girls rested themselves on the verandah, in spite of the kin"'s oft repeated call, until he became a little irritated and bade them come in at once. You remember the ponderous figure His wife is well suited to him in figure, and looked immtnse, as she was in a black print holoku, with huge yellow polka dots. The king was dressed in a light outing shirt and woolen trousers. Part of the time his shoes adorned his feet; part of the time they occupied a prominent post on a chest in the verandah. You hardly saw his ponderosity to good advantage in San Francisco; here, unburdened by a heavy coat, and with his foot on his native sands—his influenza a thing of the past —he became genial in the extreme and jovially reminiscent. I was introduced as the friend of his travels, and called upon to corroborate man}- incidents. As Mr. Channon said afterward, probably his people had shown too much incredulity with regard to his marvellous tales, and I had accomplished a mission in vindicating him and establishing his character for veracity. But what do you suppose impressed him most in his travels? Not the immense buildings and crowds of people, nor the splendor of lolani palace, nor all the display of the queen's surroundings, but the break-down of the carriage onthat Saturday afternoon when we rode with Over and over, with most graphic tones and gestures, he told the story; he would insist that the horse was crazy, and that we were all in danger of being eaten. His heavy face really grew animated as he talked; Jessie said he seemed glad to have found a chum to talk over old times with. When we took our leave, the king made us promise to come back at 12 o'clock "to taste a little food;'' and we were glad to accept on account of the girls. The girls were soon busy with their washing. Jessie and I sitting on a mat, took turns leading to one another till if was time to see if the girls had all donned dry dresses and combed their hair in readiness to start for the king's house. A long time we spent in waiting in his sitting room; but at last, after much running hither and thither of the men and women about the place, the king led us across the yard to his eating-house, and the full glory ot the banquet burst upon our vision. A long table was covered with a cloth of un bleached cotton, and places were laid for ten, each provided with knife and fork and large spoon, and a generous soup-plateful of rich looking chicken soup, with a generous quantity of the chicken in it. The centre-piece on the table was a mammoth dish pan full of baked fish, this was flanked by platters of chicken of the king? — THE FRIEND. and plates of babai (the coarse taro that Tennyson's Kapiolani. grows here).
