The coining week is the one for the wonted annual conference "I our churches in the Hawaiian Kvangtlical Association, which embracea ministers of five nationalities and languages. To the coming rmetinj' a special interest attaches as being the first one held since by annexation Hawaii became a part of the American Union. Of still greater consequence is the fact that it has been the opening year of a new era in this hemisphere, in which America has taken a new dominion as practical mistress of the Pacific, and sets out to extend the blessings of just and enlightened government, including absolute religious liberty. A new day has the past year risen upon this part of the world. Our meetings come amid new prospects and new duties. Occupying as Hawaii does the central commercial point in mul ocean, the posi tion of our churches becomes one of great strategic importance. In this new political and commercial era we stand conspicuously in the forefront of Christ endom facing westward to the great Pagan Empires. In the successful pro' pagation of American Chiistianity westward much must depend on the sort ol exhibit that Christianity makes in Hawaii, and whether our Christian conspicuous location makes our testimony impressive. Here pass and gather multitudes of men from all the lands beyond. Here direct from Pagan institutions they first meet with Christianity embodied in social and public life. They turn upon us a startled scrutiny, and upon the social order and civilization to which our religion imparts elevation and moral tone. They carry home their impressions of this Christianity, anil of whatevei power it has for moral restraint and social upbuilding. How important, then, that our churches should be highly consecrated to God's Kingdom and service, and alive with the spirit of righteousness and heavenly love, not tampering with the low ways of the world and of sinful living. Then as the servants of Christ assemble let it be with an especially solemn desire for a pervading spirit of devotion, love, and heavenly zeal. Let us fervently implore our Lord and King to cause His Holy Spirit of Grace and Power to rest upon our assembly, and inspire us with great faith and ardor for the work of His Kingdom. The coming years are big with portent. May the forces of Christ in Hawaii be vigilantly marshaled for his work. The Gospel for the Philippines. lately Mr. F. VV. Damon, Superintendent of Chinese Work, whose hospitality is unbounded to missionaries in transit to and from Asiatic ports, enjoyed a call from Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Hebbard. These were young missionaries of the Presbyterian Board on their way to Manila, where they were going to initiate mission work under that Board. What other beginnings of evangelistic work have been made in the Philippines we are not informed. It may be taken as certain that the American churches will not be backward in entering that great field, which has been unexpectedly and wonderfully opened to the Gospel. It is an earnest desire of many Christians in Hawaii that the American Board may early occupy stations in some section oi that group, perhaps in Mindanao, a great island which lies directly in line Quite 41 Number 6 with the Caroline Islands, and is almost a continuation of them. Rev. Dr. Hiram Uingham, whose life has been devoted to the successful evangelization of Micronesia, has for a generation past looked longingly at Mindanao, just beyond Micronesia. He has sent up many fervent prayers that the Gospel might soon reach that dark island, with its million and a half of population. Now suddenly a day of heavenly light seems to be dawning for them. Can Hawaii help in this great work? A Year's Work of the Y. M. C. A. .•.

Brock last August took up his duties as Assistant Secretary and director of gymnasium. Financial requirements have aggregated $6,41S. OS .exclusive of the educational department. In addition $2,517.50 was raised to clear the building of debt. Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. Cooke have donated $'2500 toward a permanent fund. "Religious work has been pressing, but well sustained. The Jail meetings, Bible study, Men's meetings and Evangelical meetings have been kept up with interest and many young men have been led to enter the service of the Master." An address by President Dole gave reminiscences of the first meeting of the Society thirty years ago. Mr. Dole was the first President. Ol the first eleven names on the roll nine are still in the islands, and two on the mainland. Six of them were at the meeting. In 1878 the membership was 45. A list of the 82 members of the present 12 committees of the Association presents a noble body of active and able Christian men, such are salt and power in any community. The growth and progress of our Y. M. C. A. in these last thirty years has been greater than even the wonderful growth of our city in that time. ' �42 THE FRIEND. [June, 1899.

Rev. C. M. Hyde, D. D., and Mrs. Hyde sailed hence May 13th for a visit to Massachusetts. Much solicitude was felt on account of the Doctor's health.

Much of this was from sales of ornamental articles made by the young people.

A very amusing farce of the Punch and Judy sort was worked by the nimble fingers of three young ladies. The heads of the figures were made of potatoes, and great was the fun. A Wretched Suicide. A sad tragedy took place last Friday in the rear ol the editor's premises. Wj were called to give aid in the case of a German named Schmieden who had been violently abusing his wife, and having been arrested for it, whs taking poison, in the form uf permanganate uf potash. I knocked oul of lie hind a glass of the mixture which he had parti)- swallowed before I could reach him. He then made for the town and procured carbolic acid, which he brought home. On the police arriving to arrest him, he swallowed the acid and died in a few minutes. The man had been jealous of his wife. A few days before the suicide he had throttled her and blackened her eyes, a very quiet and helpful woman. He was crazed with liquor and beer when lie took tin: poison. How far alcohol was the cause of his miserable end, or how far a bitter disposition had a share in the tragedy, does not appear. But it was clear that without the drink there might have been peace in the home and a very capable man saved from destruction. One would not wish to be of the men who sold Schmedtn his drinks that afternoon, and who are daily fostering violence and crime by their pernicious traffic. One deeply feels this when the horror and misery come so near. It was a close and bootless fight with the devil of drink and murder. God help usall! Dreyfus Returns to France. The news comes that a military escort has actually been sent to the prison of Dreyfus, in Cayenne, to bring him back to Paris for revision of his case. The world rejoices at this triumph of justice in the great republic over the enormous power of the French army. The good name of France, so grievously dishon ored by the revelations made of deliberate fraud in the former trial of Dreyfus, and by the persistent refusal of the government to rectify them, will now be purged of its world-wide shame. �Vol. 57," No. 6.] Providing for an Election. Filipino Insurrection Breaking Up. Adverse critisim of the Government has been made on account of their preparing for an election to be regularly held in September for a new Legislature under the laws of the Republic of Hawaii. It is alleged that such election is uncalled for, because before the Legislature can meet, the old laws will have been suspended by the new Territorial laws to be enacted by Congress. But no one can assert that Congress will legislate for Hawaii before February when our new Legislature should meet, or even that Congress will legislate at all at the next session, alth'-ugh it is most probable that they will do so. No chances are to be taken. We are to go on and provide for a legislature to meet all possible contingencies, and especially to pass the appropriations, without which there would be distress and confusion. Besides, contingencies are always possible, f'i wih. li an extra ses sion of the Legislature may be necessary. To hold no election would leave the country without any Legislature af ter September next. The duty of the Government is clear and unquestionable, to proceed as they are doing in the registration of votes, and the duty of voters is also clear, to go and be registered, and to vote on the day of election. It is indeed good news that the brave and ably led forces of America have conquered Aguinaldo's insurgents, and that peace and good order will now be established in Luzon. Aguinaldo represents only a small portion of the many disunited tribes inhabiting the Philip pines, over whom he aspires to rule without their consent. The civilized world have no confidence in his proposed rule, but do have entire confidence that the civilized and benevolent government of the United States will efficiently ad minister wise and beneficent government over those ignorant and uncivilized pop illations. In destroying the oppressive Spanish rule, America became responsible for the maintenance of peace and order in the Philippines. The task is an arduous one, but cannot be shirked. Such degree of local autonomy will be given as can safely be done. Honolulu Rapid Transit. After a long and thorough investiga tion, orders have been completed and sent East for material for the new tramcars and motive power. The power will be electric; for the more central parts of the town, the Brown underground system has been adopted, and the trolley for the suburbs. In shifting from the underground plates to the trolley there is no interruption. There will be 40 main carrier cars and 10 trailers, seating from 36 t 50 people. We may hope within a year to have rapid transit to all the principal sections of the main city, and in two years to all suburbs within five or six miles. How the old mule cars will compete with the new system remains to be seen. Perhaps there has not been due credit given to the old company for their very useful service, without which the pleasure of life here would have been sadly obstructed. Just so our people fret at discomforts on inter-island steamers, which seem such palaces of comfort to us old-timers who used to voyage on the slow, tumbling schooners of thirty years ago. But we all hail the coming of the swift and roomy electric cars, with cheap rides to Moanalua, Manoa, Kaimuki, the Pali, Diamond Head, and perhaps Tantalus. 45 THE FRIEND. The Government has granted permits for the importation of 5:111 Japanese contract laborers this year. It is also confidently txpected that at least 5000 laborers will be obtained from the north of Italy, by the Suez route, during the year. The needs of the new plantations are urgent. What we most need is to find American farmers to cultivate our cane fields on shares. The town of Hilo has been suffering from typhoid fever, a number of deaths having occurred. Suspicion attaches to the water supply, although the water enters the pipes far above the inhabited districts. It seems probable that the original cause was the visit at Hilo of the U.

The meeting at Kaluaaha, Molokai, of the Maui and Molokai Association (Presbytery) called for May 3d, really began April 29th, when the old meeting house, built by Father Hitchcock, was re-dedicated, after having been re-roofed, re-plastered and put in good repair. Sunday was the great day of gathering, at least 800 people must have been present, and the great house was full. The singing was excellent and took moat of the time, yet there was a prized opportunity for two or three short addresses. All the Sunday schools of Molokai were represented save one, that of the leper settlement; also representatives of the Sunday schools of West Maui were present. The exhibition lasted nearly five hours. The collection amounted to nearly $500—enough to wipe out the debt. About $75 of this was contribu ted by Hon. J. W. Kalua, the Circuit Judge of the islands of Maui and Molokai. The lonely valley of Pelekunu was the birth place of this noted Hawaiian. There, in that secluded out of the way spot he began life, with apparently as little prospect of advancement as the humblest ol his race. But from that seclusion he pushed himselfinto notice, and by his ability and engaging manner has won his way till he stands the most prominent native on the bench and a leader of great influence among his people. The Americans of these islands have much to thank Judge Kalua for. The very audacity and bravery of the man in the stand which he took during the days of the revolution, are only equaled by the sprightliniss and gener osity of the man as a companion and host. Conspicuous among the leaders of classes at the Sunday school exhibition were two white women now resident on the island. It was a most encouraging and hopeful sight. Indeed, to one of these ladies is largely due the achievement of the repair of the old church. People contributed to the undertaking because she was interested in it and urged and in a way controled it. The people of Kuluaah;i have not a little to thank Miss Bruce fur—for aid rendered them and their children. The regular meeting of the Association began Tuesday, one day earlier than the call. It was practicable to do this, because the Sunday School Association had finished its work the day before. The interest of the meeting centered about the report of the committee ap pointed to investigate the charges against Rev. S. Kapu. A divided report was made. Three of the committee found the charges to be true, and two questioned or denied them. It was rather surprising that the find ing of the committee was not unani mous, for the proof of the charges was overwhelming, and was not denied by Mr. Kapu, but was acknowledged by him, at first impliedly and finally di rectly and honorably. When the guilty brother said, "I leave myself in your hands, for you to deal with me and discipline me as you see fit," it was rather surprising that certain brethren, even then, should seek ur gently to quash the proceedings. It can only be accounted for by the supposition of a culpable lack of moral feeling on their part. Such men are the bane of the Hawaiian pulpit. We would be better off without them. The guilty man 47 who confessed his fault is far more worthy to be in it than they, and we greatly appreciated Mr. Richards' remark when he said, "Now, Mr. Kapu, since you have honorably confessed your fault, I give you my hand of sympathy and am ready to help you and work with you." The sentence passed on Mr. Kapu is six montns' suspension from the ministry. There are palliating circumstances in his case, and we trust that he may yet become again a power in the Hawaiian pulpit. Union Rally of Sunday Schools. On Saturday afternoon, May 15th, there took place what was fitly termed a grand rally of the Protestant Sunday Schools of the city and vicinity. Nearly 2000 scholars and teachers marched in procession, carrying a profusion of banners and mottoes. No untoward feature marred the display. Children and youth of many diverse races united in the long line. The streets were strung with mottoes and banners, from the gathering point at the drill shed to the terminus at Kawaiahao churchyard. Richard and King streets were gay with bunting and bright colors. The order of the procession was as follows (numbers approximate) : 1. Band of Kamehameha School... 10 2. S. S. of Kamehameha Manual and Preparatory 180 S. Methodist Sunday School, white 60 4. Kawaiahao S. S., Hawaiian.... 230 5. Disciples'Church, white 60 G. Japanese Sunday School 40 7.

S., Hawaiian A reviewing stand had been erected in front of the opera house, upon which were seated nearly forty public dignitaries, clergymen and leading Christian workers. In front of this company, each school in succession halted and sang appropriate songs. Thence all marched to Kawaiahao church yard, where an inspiriting address was delivered by Rev. G. L. Pearson. After singing,"Onward, Christian Soldiers," the schools marched and dispersed. The credit of this excellent display of our Sunday Schools is especially due to the planning and exertions of Mr. Theodore Richards, field secretary of the Hawaiian Board. It is of the greatest value in showing something of what is being done in religious instruction, and in uniting our various denominations in cooperative effort. All Christians pres- .. �48 [June, THE FRIEND. ent must have felt greatly encouraged and inspired. It is interesting to observe that more than one half uf the scholars present were Hawaiians. Their schools are most efficiently superintended and taught. There has been a marvelous advance among Hawaiians during the past thiny years in intelligent knowledge of the Scriptures, due to good work in the Sabbath Schools, largely also to the thorough Bibll instruction given in the Girls' and B >ys' Boarding Schools. Popish Revereion in England. Public attention in England is now strongly turned upon a very active movement of a portion of the clergy of the Established church toward adopting most of the corruptions and mummeries of Popery, both in forms of ritual and in practice. Among these which are forbidden by the church laws, are Mariolatry and Saint worship. It seems to be a curious instance of what scientists call Atavistic Rcveision, a fulling back to ancestral defects and weaknesses which had been outgrown. One can view with a degree of compassionate respect the absurd mummeries and unchristian practices which the Roman Catholic church has perpetuated from the dark ages. It excites only disgust to see free and enlightened Britons renouncing the glorious Reformation and turning back to heathenish corruptions. There seems to be no good reason why they should stop short of taking an Italian priest as their sacred and infallible head. Meantime, as they derive their livelihood from the Government, the laymen of England, through Parliament, are reminding these wayward gentry that they must choose between renouncing their livings and adhesion to the laws of the Established church. The tendency is to hasten the very desirable end of Disestablishment. The Peace Conference. This conference of the Powers, initiated by the Russian Czar, is now in session at the Hague, in the interest of abating the evils of war. Probably not much of direct value will be accom plished, but it is a move in a noble direction, and doubtless a beginning of better things. As long as great Powers indulge in grasping and ruthless ambition, so long will war and thorough pre paration for war be indispensable to hold their cruel greed in check. It is indeed gratifying to be assured that there is no troth in the uport that Queen Victoria is threatened with blindness. Memorial Day Observances. 1899. Bryde shares sold immediatly at from 15 premium. The prospects ofthis new plantation are undoubtedly of the highest order. The whole amount of assessments on the new plantations, to be paid mostly within two years, is something like nine million dollars. Incoming dividends on existing plantations are expected to supply the means for what promise to form gilt edged investments for the revenues ol our island people, many thousands of whom are owners of sugar stock.

Two Portuguese Evangelists It is gratifying to record that the collection at the Foreign Mission Rally amounted to over $450. A cheque for $10,000 also came in from the same source as the pievious one for Home Missions. We learn that some other noteworthy cheques have been handed in for different branches of the work of the Board. In view of these large ad ditions to their means, the Hawaiian Board are feeling that the time has come for material expansion of their work along several different lines. The only action as yet finally taken has been to call Rev. Mr. Thwing, of the Presbyterian Mission in China, to come here as colleague to Mr. F. W. Damon, our able and devoted Superintendent of the Chinese Mission work. Other important steps are in progress towards final adoption. Home Mission Rally. On the 4th of June, instead of the usual annual sermon on Home Missions, a Home Mission Rally was held in Cen tral Union Church. Hymns were sung in various languages by the Sunday Schools of the Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese Missions. Rev. John Lyd gate talked on "Ways," showing the need of an active superintendent of work on each island. Rev. J. A. Cruzan spoke on "Means." He told of the eminent Dr. Emmons having over-eaten of Ordained. sionary to Portuguese in Kona, Hawaii. Mr Silva also goes as a missionary of the Hoard, making the fourth of the Evangelists thus supported. Dr Bingham's Appeal for Forward movement to Mindanao. At the Foreign Mission Rally a prominent feature was the earnest appeal made by Rev. Dr Bingham, who presided as Chairman of the Hawaiian Board's Committee on Foreign Missions. He urged that the time had come for the rapid extension of missionary labor westward from the Ruk lagoon, which for many years has been the limit reached in the Carolines. It should now go forward to Yap and the Pelew Islands, and especially to the great Island of Mindanao in the Philippines, which contains over one million of people, a majority of them barbarous tribes. Dr Bingham ably illustrated his topic by a large map of the middle western Pacific, which, when drawn out, occupied the space in front of the choir. There was also a fine map of Mindanao. In support of his appeal, Dr Bingham read the following resolution lately adopted by the Hawaiian Board : " Resolved, That whereas, in the wonderful providence of God, there has been opened just now a door for centuries shut, a door to a very large island of thirty-six thousand square miles, Mindanao of the Philippines, bounding Micronesia on the west, and so comparatively our near neighbor, and now under the American flag, inhabited by one million people, among whom there cannot be found a single Protestant missionary, or a Bible translated into any of the various languages of the island, save one, and that spoken by a small Malay tribe, this Board should make known to its constituency its great desire to enter this door at the earliest possible date, and to co-operate, if feasible, with the American Board in the immediate evangelization of Mindanao. At the call of the Portuguese Congregational Church, A. Y. Soares, pastor a Council of ministers and churches assembled at the Portuguese Church on the 10th of June, and examined Messrs Joseph Durao and Ernest da Silva.with a view to ordination. The result was satisfactory, and the ordination proceeded in the same church on the afternoon of Sunday, the 11th, in the presence of a large congregation. Rev. A. Y. Soares preached the sermon. Rev. S. E. Bishop offered the ordaining prayer. Rev. O. P. Emerson gave the charge to the candidates, and Rev. W. M. Kincaid the right hand of fellowship. Rev. J. A. Cruzan, as Moderator, presided. Mr Silva was converted from Roman ism here about seven years ago, and had developed high character and intelligence under the instruction of Pastor Soares and Professor Leadingham, of the North Pacific Mission Institute. He has already done much excellent mission work, and goes with his young wife to take charge of mission work among Portuguese on East Maui.

Never before has this school been as As large as it is now r >2 in number. Christmas time approached last December we did not hang our harps upon the willows and weep, but rather we surprised ourselves with the success with which we repeated all the beautiful In Spanish traditions of that season. Spain we consider the Christmas and analogous festivals of great importance in introducing ourselves and our work to the community about us, many of whom would be attracted to these entertainments who would not dare to come, or who, perhaps, would be indifferent about coming, to our ordinary religious meetings. Here we sought rather to introduce ourselves to the French Protestant community about us, with which we naturally come in contact. We provided for these an entertainment of recitation, songs, and discourses in English, French, and Spanish. This so pleased the active young pastor of the Protestant Church of the neighboring city of Hayonne that he urged us to favor their Christmas festival that took place three days later with a visit of our girls, who would take part in their service of song. We hired a car of the local railway train, which in half an hour took the entire school and a few friends of Biarritz to Bayonne. The church was filled with some three hundred eager spectators, and when their time came for our girls to sing, which they did in Spanish, it made a deep and favorable impression on the French audience. It was indeed an historical event this appearance for the first time of so large a group of Protestant Spaniards in a —. �51 THE FRIEND.

It seemed pro phetic of the time when Spain shall send out her Protestant missionaries full of the fresh and vigorous life of a young and enthusiastic Evangelical faith to France and other European countries, and to all the world. We have no doubt that the spirit that is being developed and trained in many of these girls and in all of our congregations in Spain is exactly that which is needed to revive and strengthen the historical Protestantism which is found to day in every European country with the exception of Spain. It is also a pleasant and significant circumstance that thirty years ago, im mediately after the revolution that drove Cjueen Isabella from the throne, and opened Spain to the Gospel, the Rev. Mr. Nogaret, then Protestant pastor of Bayonne, and the predecessor of the present pastor, for two or three years had in his house a class of young Spaniards under training for evangelical mission work in Spain, most of whom later took full courses of theological study in Geneva and Lausanne. Among the girls who sang at this Christmas festival in Bayonne were daughters and nieces of those young men. Although the home of the American missionaries is for the moment just beyond the Spanish frontier, our hold upon the entire field is not in the least relaxed, nor the superintendence of it in any way diminished. We now come and go among the stations with as much freedom as before the war, and in some respects our relations with our Spanish colleagues are more intimate and confidential than ever before. It was a day of great rejoicing when Mrs. Gulick reached us on the 18th of last February. She can h :rdly yet realise all that happened during her abseuce. To-morrow she and I set out on an extended tour among our stations in Spain. We cannot say anything at this moment as to the time when the school shall be removed to Spain, though that is now a positive part of our plan for the future. Your affectionate cousin, Wm. H. Gui.ick. Hawaiian Mission Children's Society. From a published Report of the Recording Secretary, Rev. O. H. Gulick, we cull the following :— Our meetings constitute a point of attraction to those visitors coming to our city whose interest is alive to misMore sionary work or history. and more is this society becoming a breathing place for some of the earnest missionary spirits in this community. A glance at sume of the topics that have engaged the ttiought of this society during the past year will be of interest. Among these may be mentioned Mr and " . . . Mrs. Philip dc la Porte and their mission to Pleasant Island, towards whose support this society contributes; Mrs. McCully Higgins' account of the men who have been Judges of the Supreme Court of Hawaii for the past fifty years; the loss by fire of the Maunaolu Semin ary of East Maui, and the expectation of its early restoration; the furnishing of country libraries and reading rooms for the needy communities of our island people ; portions of Hawaiian history and folk lore, from Mrs. Joseph Emerson's facile pen ; Miss Atkur's accurate and able essay upon the missionary field of Micronesia; the comparison of Christian Science with the theosophy of India, by Pundita Ramabai ; a thoughtful view of the present condition of the Hawaiian Churches and native Christians, by Miss M. A. Chamberlain ; an interesting portion of a journal of one of our honored missionary fathers, written on the Cape Horn voyage, and read by Justice Judd ; thrilling reminiscences of the eruption of Mauna Loa, in 18*0, which threatened the destruction of Hilo town and harbor, by Mrs. L. B. Coan, an eye witness ; the work of Boys' Clubs and the need for such work, set forth by Mr Pond and Professor Richards ; an interesting account by Professor W. D. Alexander of a visit to Nablous, the ancient Shechem, home of the few remaining Samaritans ; an able essay by Dr. S. E. Bishop, entitled " America and the Philippines;" Thomas Gulick's account of the midnight sun seen in the Arctic zone on the shores of Spitzbergen, in 1898." We are delighted to s y that the past year of financial prosperity has been signalized by an increase of over $ 10•'»0 in donations to the treasury, meeting all past arrears, and leaving a good surplus. Dr. Stangenwald Gone. Our old friend, "the good physician," Dr. Hugo Stangenwald, passed from among us in the early morning of June Ist, at the age of 70. He had been in feeble health for several years, and latterly had given up practice. Dr. S. came here froTt Germany, by way of California, in 1850, and for several years was the chief photographer of Honolulu. Many prized daguerreotypes and ambrotypes of those days remain to attest his skill. After a few years of study in New York and Vienna, Dr. S. returned to Honolulu, where he soon established a lucrative practice. His first wife was Miss Mary Dimond ; his second, her sister, Anna Maria, who survives her husband. No children survive. The Doctor wss a devout Christian. He inspired a strong personal attachment in many of his patients, especially in the old mission families. He was able to indulge a taste tor elecincal and chemical studies, having gathered what was for many years the best set of apparatus west of the Rocky Mountains. He was familiarly known as "Uncle Doctor" by all the children of the Dimond and Wat- erhouse connection, all of whom mourn his departure. The Doctor's estate, valued at $67,000, most worthily goea to his widow. Death of Queen Kapiolani. After several years of failing health, the Dowager-Queen Kapiolani has passed on. She departed this life on the morning of the 24th, as the result of a third stroke of paralysis a few days previous. Kapiolani, who was named after the noble chiefess who braved the wrath of Pele in 1824, was born at the end of 18.l,>, and had reached the age of 63 She was a grand-daughter of years. the good King Kaumualii of Kauai, who so hospitably entertained the early missionaries at VVaimea, and whose great personal comeliness she inherited. Her first husband was the chief Namakeha, whom she accompanied to the Marquesas Islands in the Morning Star in 1857, where he went ..s a delegate of the Mission. She married Prince David Kalakaua at the end of 1863, and became Queen by his election as king in 1874. In Mny, 18S7, she attended the Jubilee of Queen Victoria, accompanied by the Princess Liliuokalani, and was received by Victoria with Royal honours. They were also the guests of President Cleveland in Washington. Upon the Kings death in 1892, a profound mourner for her husband, she took up her residence in Waikiki. K->piolani was a true and loving wife, possessing purity of character and great sweetness of disposition. With less of the stateliness of her great namesake, whom the writer well remembers, she possessed the same dignified sweetness and even more of personal comeliness. She was unostentatious and benevolent. To her is due the institution of the Kapiolani Maternity Home and the Kapiolani Home for Leper Girls. Since the abolition of monarchy the Government have continued her Royal In addition, she annuity of $5000. possessed large wealth and income, which descend to her sister's sons, the Princes David and Jonah. The body has lain in state during the week in Kawaiahao Church. A great State funeral is to be conducted on the afternoon of Sunday, July 2d. r The Rev. D. P. Birnie, late pastor of Central Union Chuich, is now reported as pleasantly established in Rye, " one of the largest and best known and most fashionable suburbs of the great metropolis." He is in a Presbyterian church. He and his family are in excellent health. Mi. Hirnie is one to develop the working capacity of his church, apt and vigorous in pastoral labors. �52 THE FRIEND. Germany Buys the Caroline Islands. It is announced that Germany pays Spain 25,000,000 pesetas, or about $5,000,000, for the Caroline, Pelew, and Ladrone Islands. Spain retains three coaling stations, one in each group. The " Washington Star" states that duiing the Peace conference at Paris, "acting under the representations of the submarine cable interests, as well as from the missionary element, the Ameri- can Commissioners offered a million for Ualan (Kusaie), and the trade was under way when it was broken off through the additional demand by Spain for favored treatment in trading with Cuba and Puerto Rico." The German rule in the Carolines, according to the experience of our missionaries in the Marshalls, will not be adverse to their labours and aims, although not quite as favorable as that of the British in the Gilberts. The removal of the Spaniards from Ponape will doubtless now reopen that suffering island to the welcome labours of our American missionaries. [July, 1899.

Mrs. Judge Frear also entertained a large lawn party on the 19th, who listened with delight to a delivery by Mrs Williams of Browning's " Blot on the 'Scutcheon." It is a delightful fact that the various boys' clubs of the city are being organised into a Boys' Brigade.

Koh&aHl iRoaC Under the above designation, the formidable rival of Mr. Dillingham's intended railroad from Hilo to Hamakua, obtained sole possession of the route Mr. Dillingham having withdrawn from the competition. The company organized by the latter gentleman will now confine their effort! to the speedy construction of railways from Hilo to Olaa and eastern Puna, for the needs of the two mammoth plantations in those (lis tricts. Apparently, by the new arrangement, and the accession of capital from abroad, Hilo will enjoy an earlier completion of the desired roads, which must add immensely to the commercial importance of that port. That the railway will ever extend beyond Hamakua into Kohala does not seem clear. It seems impossible that any freight should ever take that part of the route. Saloons, Jails, and Poor-houses. Clement Routier is acknowledged to be one of the best coffee experts in Paris. A formal report has been received from him, in which he says : " The sample which you have sent me shows a coffee of superior quality on account of the nature of the soil which produced it. I class it in the category of choicest coffee, similar in all respects to the coffees of Martinique and Guadeloupe, whose reputation is universal. Hawaiian coffee takes rank as a coffee rich in calTein, has the aroma of Mocha, but less mellow (moms dc douceur). This coffee prepared without mixing with other kinds is perfect. If it is mixed with one fourth or one tilth part of Mocha coffee, boiled separately, ii becomes a veritable nectar." Our own experience has been thai coffee grown upon recent volcanic cinders was vastly superior to that In Pittsburg, a mining town in southern Kansas, for example, the city government licenses a number of saloons in direct defiance of the State statute that prohibits their existence, and the proceeds, upward of $1300 a month, are devoted to the support of the schools. At the same time Pittsburgh furnishes an unanswerable argument for the enforcement of the prohibition law, lor its police expenses and the dockets of its Police Courts are larger than those of any other town of similar size in the State. That is the universal rule. Wherever there is a dry town the police force is idle, and the police court sits but once a week. In the wet towns it sits every morning, and has plenty to do.

Of course a person with a grain of common sense could easily perceive this story to be a downright falsehood. However, this*is just in keeping with their character. A few weeks ago a Spanish steamer arrived here with three months' provi sions for the Spanish soldiers, and on her leaving she took away two priests and fifty soldiers.

Knowing that many readers of the " Friend' 1 are interested in the progress of mission work among the Chinese living in these islands, it is thought a few words relative to the same may not A recent visit be out of place here. which I was privileged to make in the island of Kauai in the interests of the Mission was most interesting and inspiring. There seems to be quite an awakening among the Chinese in Waimea and the neighboring district. The devoted workers of the Salvation Army have gathered a number of these Chinese into a " corps," and are doing a good work among them. The evangelist placed in this region by the Hawaiian Board, Mr Joseph Aiu, a graduate of the North Pacific Missionary Institute, is also laboring here It is encouramong his countrymen. aging to see how these two divisions of the great army of Christ" are working harmoniously together for the uplifting and enlightenment of those from " the Land of Sinim." Most generous help and support and co-operation is extended to these workers by the Waimea Foreign Church, whose able pastor, Rev. Mr. Massie, has shown the warmest and most brotherly interest in all efforts fur the Chinese and other nationalities. It was a great privilege to meet with our Salvation Army friends and others in " the Chinese Chapel, kindly given to our Mission some time since by Messrs Gay and Robinson, and to hear the earnest testimonies given by those who wish to be on the Lord's side. Again a singularly inspiring Union meeting was held in the Foreign Church, which was attended by over two hundred persons Indeed, I of different nationalities. think some one stated that there were representatives of at least nine nationalities present. The church edifice is the large stone church of Waimea, so It is now, long a familiar landmark. however, wonderfully renovated, and the interior is one of the most attractive on the islands. A beautifully finished pulpit has recently been placed in the church, of a fashion to suggest to loyal Scotchmen the pulpit of the kirk where they were guided in the right way in their early days. The church was brilliantly lighted for an evening service, the hymns though in different tongues weie sung with a will, and a spirit of deep and loving sympathy seemed to pervade the assembly, so that we all felt that it was good to be there. Two young Chinamen from Hanapepe have recently been baptized by Mr Massie, and others are showing a May marked interest in Christianity. the good work go on ! Returning by the way of Lihue, an interesting meeting was held among the Chinese laborers on the Lihue Plantation. While in this district 1 was much surprised with the noble work which is being done among the German congregation here gathered by our esteemed friends, Here school Rev. and Mrs. Isenberg. and church work is being carried forward most efficiently by them, and though far away from the Fatherland these German settlers in the tropics are being guided in those principles which have been such a blessing to the land of Luther It will, I think, be interesting to our friends to knaw that the " Mills Institute has just closed a most prosperous Nearly eighty boarders have year. been with us, and a considerable number have attended the day school as well. A fine and manly tone has prevailed among the students during the year, and we rejoice in the marked Christian development of not a few. In September we are looking forward to the coming of a strong reinforcement to Messrs Russell our teaching force. (Amherst) and Turner (Princeton) who have just graduated at Union Theological Seminary, and Mr Swertfager (Amherst), men all highly recommended, will, we trust, give new impetus to the encouraging work already begun here. The Hawaiian Board has extended a call to Rev. E. W. Thwing to become associate missionary in the work for the Chinese. Mr. and Mrs. Thwing have been missionaries for some years in the Canton Province, [July, 1899. have a fluent command of the Chinese language, and wide experience in misWe look forward to sionary work. their coming with earnest anticipation, and rejoice profoundly in their appointment to this growing and inspiring work.

Leave of absence for two months was granted Secretary Emerson for the purpose of conducting the native delegation which is to attend the International Congregational Council to be held in Boston, September "20-28 ; also the meeting of the American Board to be held the following week in Providence, R.I. Mr Emerson expects to start in the latter part ol August or early in September. See below for the names of the delegates. Wireless Telegraphy Between Islands. Two months ago Thh Friend was the first to point out that Marconi's system of wireless telegraphy was adapted to give efficient telegraphic communication between the islands of the Hawaiian group. It is therefore a satisfaction to learn that Mr. P.J. Cross is moving to establish such communication at an early date. The rate to be charged is not to exceed five cents per word. From Oahu to Molokai is 30 miles ; from Molokai to Maui, 10 miles; from Maui to Hawaii, 20 miles ; from Oahu to Kauai, 61 miles. This last is a greater distance than any hitherto overcome by this system. We have the advantage of numerous elevated points near the"coasts which are to be thus connected. Such elevations are absolutely necessary. The reader should be aware that actual flashes of light are shot to a given point, as flashes of search-light are, only the light is of a peculiar kind, invisible to the human eye. It cannot be obstructed by rain, smoke or fog. It requires a peculiar form of receiver to detect its presence. The apparatus is not complicated or costly.

In our boyhood, sixty years ago, all the Protestants held the Pope to be Antichrist, and his church to be a synagogue of Satan. Papists en their part held all Protestants in equal condemnation, and in all Spanish countries, subjected them to deadly persecution. Up to 1840, at least, any Protestant would speedily have been executed, who should attempt to propagate his doctrine in South America or Mexico. The animosity between Popery and Protestantism is now materially mitigated. Protestants commonly admit that Romanists may often be true Christians; and Romanists admit that many Protestants may enjoy the "uncovenanted mercies" of God. But Rome continues very energetically to malign her foes. At an example, a Summer School for Roman Catholics meets at Plattsburgh, N. Y. A leading catechism for their use at that school contains the following, as quoted from the iX. Y. Observer: "The second week enters upon Luth er's motives for attacking the Catholic faith and inventing a new creed. These were pride, and jealousy because the commission to preach Indulgence was given to the order of .St. Dominic and not to his own.

A number of short addresses were made and many entertaining and some touching reminiscences were indulged in by elderly people, of incidents of nearly forty years ago. Mrs. Mills herself is a most felicttioui talker, and one could easily comprehend the extraordinary influence which she long held and still holds over the youth under her guidance. Among the speakers of the occasion was Mrs. Persis G. Taylor who, with Mrs. Mills, graduated from Mt. Holyoke Seminary fifty-five years ago, where RWHearvco.P ut eck.

Wishard's Report on the Student's Missionary movement which began in 1879, and bore largefruit first in ISK6, when, at the Mount Hermon Conference, one hundred men volunteered for Foreign Missions. These have now increased to over four thousand students, who have solemnly declared it to be their purpose, if God permit, to become foreign missionaries. Over 1500 volunteers have enlisted in the Biitish Universities. Contingents have been enrolled in Switzerland, Scan dinavia, Holland, Germany, and France. Fully 1000 students from 401 institu tions were present at the last general convention of the Student Volunteer Oreat movement of North America. Britain h id over 700 present at her first convention. Extended courses of special study and reading are prepared for these volunteers. The report attests the " downrigh 59 THE FRIEND.

Dr. Morehouse, Mission Secretary of the American Baptist Church, upon the part taken by the Anglo-Saxon peoples in forwardiag the Kingdom ol Christ. The preacher was eloquent and outspoken against the ancient tyrannies in State and Church. He pointed out that the English-speaking peoples formed the leading factor in the world's progress. We venture to supplement Dr. Morehouse's impressive sermon by the following consideration Imagine the English-speaking peoples to be utterly eliminated and taken out of the world. What kind of a world would be left ? What hope of progress towards political or spiritual liberty would survive? The hopes of the world for the coming day of Light and Glory in the Keign of Christ would be set back half a thousand years.

The special object sought by the Czar from this Congress at the Hague has failed of attainment. That was a stopping of the increase of armaments by the great powers for ten years. There was an apprehension that Russia cherished grasping designs, and would specially profit by such a measure. Valuable progress was made, however, by the Congress in the direction of establishing a permanent Court of Arbitration. A not remote posterity may per haps behold an end of wars. For some time yet the nations are likely to keep their armor on. Success of Samoan Commissioners. The U.

Both parties have submitted, the rival kings have resigned their pretensions, the chiefs and people have agreed to live under such government as the Powers shall establish. A definite system of government has been presented to them, but awaits the consent of the three Powers.

During the 1 Sth and l!)th of July, Honolulu was so enveloped in smokethat much of the time objects two miles distant were entirely concealed. This was two weeks after the beginning of the eruption from Manna Loa. The smoke of that eruption was carried to the northeast many hundred miles by lheupper currents, then falling down into the lower currents, was brought back by the trade wind. The smoke has been even thicker on Maui than here. It appeared on Kauai several days earlier than here. The Moaua Bailed two days in the smoke, unable to take the sun, and seeing no land until sighting Diamond Head. During the great eruption of I SOU, the smoke was so dense at Lahaina that one was unable to see more than threefourths of a mile. The odor of sulphur was very distinct. The enormous and explosive emission of gases from the vent of the volcano at the outset of an eruption seems to provethat the lava is surcharged with gases, not steam, which are occluded through out the molecules of its substance,where they have lain compressed under immense pressure since the solar system began to gather and condense. In an eruption they are released and burst forth with stupendous and effervescent explosion. What starts the eruption is another question. We may ask, where is the trigger that sets off the gun ? But the energy that drives the vast explosion, and that pours out a column of lava for a year together, evidently resides in the gases which have always lain shut in side the lava. At the same time, it may require somespecial external agency to arouse this internal force into activity, We incline to accept the theory that traces an eleven year period in the activity of our volcanoes, which corresponds to the period of least sun spots. Prof. C.J. Lyons has forcibly advocated this theory. Hawaii to be a Territory. One frequently meets in American papers with expressions confounding the political status of Hawaii and that of Porto Rico and the Philippines. Those islands were acquired by war, and their status is undetermined. It is likely to become Colonial, because their inhabitants speak no Engliafl and are unfamiliar with American institutions. To confound Hawaii's case with theirs betrays ignorance. Hawaii was annexed by the Newlands Resolution as a part of United States territory, and it 61 THE FRIEND. was expressly stipulated that, " Until legislation shall be enacted extending the United States customs laws and regulations to the Hawaiian Islands, the existing customs relations of the Hawaiian Islands with the United States and other countries shall remain unchanged.'' Hawaii formally accepted annexation on those terms and they bind both parties. This means for one thing that Ha waiian sugars arc to continue to be ail mitted as now, free of duty, until Congress extends to Hawaii the United States customs laws, which will make all Hawaiian products free. There is thus no danger of discrimination against Hawaiian products. Congress is dc barred from so discriminating. Secretary, Ray's Errand to Hawaii. Mr. I). A. Ray was here last year with the United States Commission as their Secretary. He now comes again to obtain additional inform ttion foi Senator Cullom in pushing the bill presented last year by the Commission to organize a Territorial Government. Mr. Ray has particularly in view the present condition of the labor system of the islands, which is likely to be a prominent subject when the Hawaiian question comes up in Congress. Mr. Ray scouts the idea that a "colonial" form of government will be considered by Congress, or any other than a territorial. He believes that the subject will receive prompt attention. Mr. Kay says,"The Commissioners have a high regard for the present Gov eminent, and personally I consider it the best on the face of the earth." We believe it is true that the most acrid critics of the present Government charge upon it no corruption, and admit its entire integrity. There is no doubt that the contract laborers on the plantations are generally well treated, and in prosperous condition. There is room for improvement in making their quarter! more homelike. Any assault upon the person of a laborer is promptly punished by the magistrates. Mr. Ray will undoubtedly find these to be facts, and will so report. The Dreyfus Horrors. There is something awesome in the roll of victims that General Mercier's crime has already claimed. Here are Henry, Lemercier, Lorimier, dead by their own or another's hand. There stand Paty dc Clam and Esterhazy, scoundrels unmasked by their own con fessions. Here is Cavaignac's ruined political future. Good men, too, have been sacrificed to angry justice.

Possibly, however, they may leave August 18th. It expects to leave San Francisco on the return trip, by the same steamer, October 15th. It was a great surprise to all to have the Star back again so early, and it was with sincere regret that we learned the cause of her return. Mrs. Logan has gone to be treated by specialists on the mainland, where the advantages are greater than they are here, and where the climate is more bracing. Kind friends in the city helped speed her on the way. The work of repair is being pushed on the Star, to fit her as soon as possible for the return voyage. She will probably sail very soon after the first Sunday in August. She goes straight to Kusaie. The voyage, as first scheduled, will be abridged about thirty days, leaving a loss of little over a month which cannot be made up. The Star may be expected back at the usual time of former days, early in April. We hope in the next issue of The publish a report of Mr. Richard's tour in Hilo and Puna, Hawaii.

Superintendent John Cassidy has returned from a two months' absence on the mainland. He promises a new switch boaid that will produce very great improvement in the operation of the Honolulu telephone system. The old stone building on Fort street, long occupied by May & Co.'s grocery, is about to be torn down and replaced by a five-story structure. It has stood Ihere for 17 years. Theold Honolulu is steadily disappearing. Lanai has a wharf opposite Lahaina, which extends 300 feet, into nine ftet of water. A railway runs thence to the million dollar plantation, three miles north. The line of the Oahu Railway was ago for its first two miles to a course half a mile nearer the sea. This was done in order to avoid certain steep grades in Kapalama and Kalihi. Passengers thereby lose the interesting view of the Kamehameha Girls' School. The amount of freight that is being moved by this road seveiely taxes the capacity of its rolling stock. Much heavy machinery is going out to the three new plantations on the line, as well as long tri ins of coal cars, in addition to 1500 tona of sugar brought in weekly.

A tidal wave of tremendous enthusiasm has just swept over San Francisco and the neighboring State. The California Regiment has returned, scarred and war-worn, from their hot battlefields in Luzon. A surge of sympathetic patriotism, reverence, love for their bronzed and tattered sons and brothers convulsed the city and state in a wonderful manner. The throb of that mighty emotion reaches down to Ha waii and kindles our hearts here, and moves' us in responding sympathy. When we read of the whole city thronged with vast crowds from the country, and moved to tears in receiving their returning heroes, our own tears perforce start from their fountains. These soldiers are young men who at the opening of the war eagerly volunteered to fight for the flag and honor of their country. It was our honor and privilege to entertain them in Honolulu more than a year ago as they passed on their way to Manila. They were fine and winsome young men, going forward to face death by bullet and disease. We bade them God-speed as the smoke of their ships faded on rhe western horizon. After a time we heard of their battles fought and fierce charges on the lurking enemy. They were bold and fierce fighters, who never turned back or flinched from a foe. They upheld as it should be upheld. Now they have come home, and the hearts of their people go out to their hero sons and brothers in a mighty tide of honor and affection. Our hearts go out with theirs. It was a grand and spontaneous outpouring of love, of patriotic sympathy. It was such an emotion as must greatly exalt the souls of all who participated in it, and must hep to lift then above the low and sordid influences of political and commercial life. It is good for us to hear of it and to feel with our neighbors. Oh, the many and weary days which our young brothers have been spending around Manila—the wearing hardships, the long toils and perils. Then the angry shock of battle and the brave soul's resolute and fierce response. Now all that is passed like a troubled dream. They have entered the haven and the home, and the tide of joyful and tearful welcome has surged around them. That day of their reception was worth all it had cost to win it. their country's flag Our Lord and His inspired apostles have revealed to his .people that in His Kingdom and Home above there awaits His servants' coming thither from earth a great and blessed welcome. All who have struggled here against the hosts of Satan, will there be crowned with honor. All who have toiled and endured without surrender to evil will there be exalted and blessed. All who have adhered to the standard of their King and Savior, with no treasonable desertion, shall there partake of the triumph. There will be great joy in Heaven when we toil-worn disciples of earth enter there, if such be our happy lot. It will not matter at all if we are poor, ignorant, ragged, ill seeming, if only we have been on the side of our Lord. His grace will clothe us there and His glory will beautify us. From the East and the West, and from all lands, a great multitude of the faithful shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, to the feast of His love, and in the king- 65 Number 9 dom of His glory. Let these hopes uplift our souls. Let us rise above all these strivings for lower gains. Let us rejoice in our high, heavenly calling, and stand patient and true •o our Lord each day, until He shall summon us Home. New Helpers in the Chinese Work. We are pleased to welcome Rev. J. E. Russell and Rev. E. B. Turner, who come to engage in missionary and educational work among the Chinese, and especially in connection with the Mills Institute. These gentlemen are graduates respectively of Amherst and Princeton, and both of the Union Theological Seminary. They were ordained to the ministry this past summer. It is an interesting fact that Mr. Russell was ordained in the church in Morristown, N. V., where his great-grandfather formerly preached, where his two grandfathers were elders, and where his father has also served as elder. Mr. Turner was recently offered the General Y. M. C. A. Secretaryship in Princeton University, but felt called upon to decline it in view of his desire to enter upon missionary work among the Chinese. These brethren come highly recommended, and enter upon their new field of labor with zeal and enthusiasm. The Chinese Mission and all Christian enterprise will be greatly aided by this strong addition to our working force. F. W. D. Superintendent of Palama Chapel. The Rev. John E. Erdman has just arrived, to enter upon his duties in charge of the work at Palama Chapel, in connection with the Central Union Church. Mr. Hiram Bingham resigned from that work last spring on account of ill health. Mr. Erdman is a graduate of Princeton University and of McCormick Theological Seminary. His father is pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Morristown, N. J., one of the largest churchea in the State. Mr. Erdman, together with Messrs. Russell and Turner, are fruits of the great Student Volunteer movement. �THE FRIEND 66 Annual Report of the Hawaiian Association. Evangelical The Annual Report of our Church and Missionary Organization for IK'- 9 is before us. The varied contents are of the deepest interest. Much of the matter has already appeared in Thk Friend, on the Hawaiian Hoard page and elsewhere. Special reports are included from Field Secretary Theodore Richards; from Rev. T. M. Lydgate, in charge of Native work on Kauai; from Rev. J. M. Lewis in similar work on Maui and Molokai.and from Rev C. W. Hill, in charge of special work for whites and natives in Southern Hawaii. Rev. J. Leadingham reports the year's work in the North Pacific Missionary Institute, with its twelve students, 9 Hawaiians, 'J Chinese, and one Portuguese, the last having since been ordained. Dr. Hyde, by reason of illhealth, hail withdrawn from the work, Messrs. (). H Gulick, Rev. 11. 11. Par ker, and Mis. Leadingham bail regularly assisted in instruction.

The Portuguese Mission work is also reported by .Secretary Kmerson, and by Rev. Messrs. Soares and Haptiste. By many of these missions and schools, large donations are acknowledged from Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Cooke. Fourteen pages are devoted to reports from the various Foreign Missions in Marquesas and Micronesia, of which numerous statements have appeared in reports as passing through his hands the sum of $31,549.81, of which $30,-308.49 were disbursed to various objects. Of the above amount, $18,526 were given in sums ranging from $500 to $3,500, and $7,920 in smaller donations. The balance was chiefly income from invested property of the Board. $12,-250 were given by four individuals, whose united annual income must be nearly one million, and who respond to many other large calls on their bene volence. The total invested funds of the Board are now $108,888.90, of which $50,000 have just been given by Charles M. Cooke. The Board also hold in trust various Mission and Church property, whose value is estimated at $74,700. $27,000 of this belongs to the Portu guese Mission, $15,000 to the Japanese Mission, and 12,000 to the N. P. M. Institute. The work of the Board is constantantly growing, its opportunities widening, its responsibilities becoming weighty, and the labors ot its officials onerous. The Lord of the harvest is greatly blessing the work ofhis servants. alleged "slavery." Meantime the rest oi their people on the plantation are laboring there, hearty and healthy and saving money. The imprisoned men allege that the agent who hired them in Europe in some way defrauded them and thus vitiated their contracts, and justified them in refusing to work them out. It does not appear that they allege any serious illtreatment or abuse from their overseers. If they could present any evidence of such abuse, they would have done so, for such proof of abuse would at once have set them entirely free from their contracts. The Government inspectors are vigilant in preventing such abuse. With whom then should our sympathies lie ? With these laborers, manfully resisting submission to slavery ? Or should we side with the Planters, who are out of pocket for their transpotation from Poland ? Whatever evil is in our contract labor system, it certainly has improved immensely the condition of a great body of immigrants. The Imprisoned Galicians. From the monthly "Association Review" we cull the following items : Mr. Albert J. Coats is expected to arrive early in September, to act as Assistant Secretary in the gymnastic work. Mr. W. P. Rider is conducting evan gelistic meetings on Sunday afternoons for young men. Instruction is given from 7 to 9 p. m. in arithmetic, business forms, composition, bookkeeping, stenography, typewriting, mechanical and architectural drawing, also in one modern language, Hawaiian.

Average daily attendance at rooms was 77,378. 478 gymnasiums were used by 57,814 different men. 24,085 students were enrolled in the different educational classes. There are some thirty white laborers confined in Oahu Prison at hard labor on the public roads. They are Poles from Galicia. They have been in prison for some months, choosing that hardship rather than to return to their previous employment as laborers on the Oahu Sugar Plantation. Much publicity has been given to their unfortunate condition, and severe strictures upon their case reach us from abroad. We therelore endeavor to state impartially what are the well known facts in the case. These men entered into written contracts with an agent of the Hawaiian Planters to labor on the Sugar Plantations for three years at about $15 a month, lodging, fuel, and medical at tendance being free, in return for a free passage from their honies to Hawaii, which probably cost as much as $80 a head or more. On these wages they live far better than they were able to do at home, and it the expiration of the three years, are free to hire out as they please. In order to secure the employers who pay for the free passages of these immigrants, and so enable them to assist their immigration, otherwise impossible to these very poor people, the law of this country enables the employer lo have the laborer imprisoned, if he refuses to work in fulfilment of his contract. These Galicians after working a short time, determined to refuse, were accordingly imprisoned, and have con- Honolulu Y. M. C. A. Report of Lunalilo Home.

The cost of their support the past year has averaged $230 per caput. The management of Mrs. Forbes has been most successful and pleasant to the inmates.

The annual report of these earnest and devout women is before us, containing a most interesting series of statements respecting their various meetings and departments of work. We glean from it the following facts : The membership is as follows 335 Living life members 28 Annual members An analysis of the Treasurer's report shows the amount raised during the year to have been $1205.82, and the amount disbursed for the objects of the Society, $1009.78.

All stories about ill usage ofItalian contract laborers in Hawaii are malicious inven tions out of whole cloth. That there has been no ill usage what ever of contract laborers ol any race here is too much to affirm. A vigilant guardianship over them all is exercised by the Government. Any clear case ol ill treatment at once enables the labort i to go free from his contract.

A friend at the East writes as follows: "The great American agnostic is dead. Ingersoll has gone. His family, wife and daughters sit stunned and terrible in their grief—unwilling to let the dead body go out of their sight and they have no hope of any hereafter ! ! "It is pitiable, indeed, and I think a fearful comment on Ingersoll's teach ings, to see the dumb misery, the broken-heartedness of his own family no hope, no God in the world, no hereafter. It's worse than heathendom " Blessed is our faith that looks up to the risen Redeemer, who has promised to take us and our beloved ones to himself. He lives, and we shall live with him. — Italian Contract Laborers in Hawaii. In view of certain statements respect ing alleged ill usage of Italian laborers here, it is in place to state that that the only contract laborers from Italy in these islands are twenty one persons employed by Hon. S. M. Damon upon his estate at Moanalua, in the vicinity of Honolulu. The men receive $lfi per month, and, in addition, a comfortable home, wood, a small garden, and the milk necessary for household use. They also receive an increase of wages as their competence for work improves. Mr. Damon pronounces their work satisfactory. Finding that they were stint- road is lined with small house lots which have been*built on. They are chiefly in the hands of well-to do Hawaiians,who show great taste in laying out their gar dens and in keeping brilliant beds of flowers. The Portuguese dwellings intermingle and can readily be distinguished by their vine frames." Well-to-do Hawaiians are in great numbtrs. Many false statements have been made representing the natives as victims of the oppression of whites. Industrious and temperate natives are highly prosperous. There are many Hawaiians who are shiftless and many who are of drunken habits. .Such are Natives are poor and necessitous. strong and capable laborers and com mand good wages.

As an old resident of Lahaina, the editor is much interested to observe that a movement has at last been made to establish a supply of the abundant mountain water to the lower streets by means of piping. Those dreary and dusty yards will be made exquisitely beautiful when the fertile soil, enriched by water, produces green lawns and blight Bowers. And much sickness will disappear when the foul wells are exchanged for the pure mountain water. Forty three years ago the writer began an effort to have the Government lay pipes on Lahaina beach, for the public good and their own financial profit. We immediately confronted an insuperable obstacle. The native Governor owned a water hole from which he supplied the casks of the whalers at ten dollars a ship. This hole was filled partly by the ordinary well water and partly from the mountain stream. Public water works would destroy the Governor's lucrative monopoly. His influence was sufficient to paralyze any move towards waterwoiks, and Lahaina has continued to be Press Visit to Waialua Hotel. the dingy place it is.

History at the New York Central Park. He has been traveling in these islands for the past two months, accompanied by a photographer, and has secured about 500 views of Hawaiian scenery and life, from which to select for slides to use in the great system of illustrated lectures employed by his department. Such lectures, illustrated by exquisitely beautiful colored views thrown on immense screens, are delivered in the museum hall to audiences of 29,000 persons. The splendid slides are also duplicated and distributed with the printed lectures, to be read and exhibited in every school district of the State, so as to reach the whole people. Prof. Bickmore has made an illustrative exhibition to the summer school now in session in this city, and holds out inducements, which have been received by the teachers with enthusiasm, for supplying a set of slides and lectures on the same, for use in these islands. Mr. Bickmore has just returned to New York. Educational Lectures. He was formerly, as a pilot, one of the "tst known figures about town, and greatly esteemed as an amiable and devout man. His figure was formerly prominent at our church services, where deafness placed him in a front seat. Jessop Scores Romanizing Anglicans. The Rev. Augustus Jessop ia a sound "Churchman." He expresses a strong contempt towards the Romanizing rit ualists. He says: "Of late we hive had more than enough talk about the crisis in the Church, and been working ourselves into a kind of St. Vitus dance because a few hundred clerical nondescripts are threatening to bring back Paganism into our worship, and offering to rid us of the burden of our innermost secrets by polluting others with the recitals of things which we would fain hide from our very selves." The last clause is a severe characterization of the very unwholesome Romish Confessional, which certain Anglican cranks have adopted. As the beginning of the paragraph intimates, the conspicuous antics of those eccentric persons do not justify any fear that the free born English people are going back into bondage to medieval priestly ty ranny. As he rightly suggests, much of that old ritual of the dark past of Christendom is a mixture of the ancient Pagan superstitions. A series of five very able lectures upon "The Life of the Child," have just been delivered before our summer school for teachers by the eminent Professor Dewey of Chicago, and are to be fullowed by another series on"The Development of Thought in the Nineteenth Century." Heavy Reinforcements for Manila. The first series have been full of matter of deeply interesting thought for all per The names are announced of fourteen sons engaged in the care and education troop-ships which are to leave San Fran of children in tender and growing years cisco during the next two months, carrying thither over 15,000 men, besides The Re-Trial of Dreyfus. officers, who are to reinforce the AmerIt is certain that the trial of no man was ever watched with such deep interest by such a multitude of men of all civilized nations as to day are intently observing the new trial of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, at Rennes. While under the stress of party feeling, perhaps a ma jority of his own countrymen hold him to have been the traitor he was charged to be, most men in other countries be lieve him to be the innocent victim of a base conspiracy.

They have been deeply embittered against England by the wrongs of a former generation. Probably there was never a more determined set of men or more able for war. The contest with them will be a most desperate one, and victory over them will be most dearly earned. It is barely possible that even yet they may yield to the evident Hritish determination to subdue them. The outcome of the presentconditions must be awaited with deep anxiety. The "Hoodoo" Steamer. There was a general sense of relief when it was learned that the "City of Columbia" had finally foundered at sea without causing loss of life. For nigh a year past that steamer has been the seat of a succession of troubles and misfortunes, not all of which were caused by her being old and rotten. She ought not to have been allowed to put to sea in such a condition that her stern planking worked open in mild weather the second day that her propellor shook it. She will create no more harassment or disgust. The "Social Evil." A valued citizen scores in the public press the great publicity of this nameless vileness in Pauahi street, regretting that so honored a name should have such associations. The suppression of this gross form of immorality is doubtless impossible, mankind being such as they are. Public law is practically restricted to confining and regulating it, as is done in Honolulu, with a view to minimizing its indecencies and physical evils. We agree with the above writer that either the name of the street should be changed or the vile traffic pushed elsewhere. More deodorizing seems to be required. But what salvation can be found, either in time or eternity, for those hapless, perishing victims of human depravity ? One's heart aches for them. ican army in Luzon.

Latest advices are that the plague has reached Newchwang, in North China, on the Pacific, and on the Atlantic has broken out severely in Oporto. The vigilance of Hawaii lately arrested its journey across the Pacific to California. Equal vigilance will doubtless prevent its access to the Atlantic Coast. It is nearly certain that the sanitary skill of Europe will be adequate to prevent any extensive diffusion of the plague in the more enlightened sections of that conti nent. It seems not unlikely that this pestilence will ravage all parts of Asia and Africa. Military Reservation on Oahu. It has just been given out that the U. S. Government have determined to reserve for the use of the military forces in the Pacific, the beautiful tract of Leile hua, on this island.

Kmkkson : Dear Sir—Your welcome letter, dated Honolulu, June IKth, is received. I was arrested on May 23d, 1H!IH. You will be glad to know that I am now a free agent. I thank and bless Ood for it. And I thank and bless those brave and noble Americans who have fought and gained such a glorious victory over our tyrannical persecutors. The Americans have saved me from being exiled, and they have saved my family and my people from being harassed and shot to death. All our Christian people rejoice over this Spanish American war, because it was not for fame, nor gain, nor vengeance, nor any evil thing, but only to obtain and secure the justice, safety and freedom which are the birthright of every human being. Where are the Spanish now ? How do they feel over this ? The Spaniards that are here now are very humble and much crest-fallen. They have no credit, no food. The Governor does not know when a ship may come to their relief, nor does he know where she is going to come from. I have let them have all the food I can spare. I cannot do more. During my ten months' imprisonment I received no comfort, no sympathy, from the Spanish. They are a most ungrateful people. Our church, which we commenced to build about two years ago, is now near completion. I have just very recently had one of those Blymyer bells brought out from San Erancisco ; it is a splendid bell. Bell, mountings and freight summed up just $75 in gold. Our church, which is a wooden structure, with galvanized iron roofing, and dimen- sions 60x30 feet, will, when completed, I have got to bear all expenses of church, bell and a full set of maps for school use, which means about $500 in gold. Besides having been incarcerated a period of ten months for daring to do these unlawful things. It seems hard, sir, does it not ? Now, sir, about those primers and hymn books. We need them very much, and some slates also. You ask me how large an edition is wanted, and if I wish Miss Palmer to read the proof. With regard to size of edition, I leave that to your superior judgment in such matters. About the reading of the proofs, either Miss Palmer or Miss Eoss would do nicely. Now that there is no mail plying between Ponape and Manila, I scarcely know how I am going to get this sent along. Hoping you are quite well, as this leaves us all at present, I beg to remain, Your brother in Christ, 71 and spent a week there. I found it was fishing season, and as we went about we found the houses mostly silent and deserted. The people had all gone fishing and we found them mostly on the broad sand beach, where they had built for themselves booths of bushes to protect them from the sun, in the shade of which they whiled away the time watching for a school of fish, or waiting for the great net to be hauled in, when they would join in the pulling and receive a share of the catch. Our Lord taught the people by the seaside. Why should we not do the same ? So we joined one of the groups, told them our mission and received a hearty welcome. Room was made for us in the shade, the bathing children were called out of the sea, whipped into their loose and scanty garments and tucked away beside their mothers, with wet and sandy hair and gleaming teeth and eyes.

When the Government sev ered those whom God had joined together*, it cast grave discredit on the whole marital relation !

H. 1., OCTOBER 1899. 73 Volume * * • ' in purity of creed, md power over life It is constantly taking more possession of society, and commerce, and politics. It is the divine religion of the Redeeming Christ. Christ is the world's Redeemer. He has promised a complete victory to His kingdom over all opposing powers and influences. The progress of the victorious campaign may seem slow, but it is onward. It goes forw ird with an accelerated speed. The leading Christian nation of the world (foremost, despite all its follies ami crimes) is now taking possession of their Pacific hemisphere, and carrying Christian sentiments and institutions with imperial force and mass, forward to bear impressively upon the ancitnt and outworn religions of the Orient. With II Ihe wickedness of our ungodly and selfish wrong-doers, with all the folly and infirmity of our Christain believers, there is a great body of living Christians, who are the salt of the nation, and whose moral and spiritual light shines so brightly as to reach through all our prevailing murk and reek of sin, and illuminate the world. The Church of Christ's true disciples grows more and more to prevail over the regions of spiritual darkness. It is the advancing tide of Christian conquest that gives significance and consequence to the imperial progress in this hemisphere of the Knglish speaking people, in whose sentiments and institutions the most developed and advanced Christianity is most embodied. Our race carries with it, as the most important part of its mission, the beneficent, uplifting, illuminating religion of Christ, who came to open the blind eyes and to set the captives free. We are writing this for believers, who live in the confident and comforting assurance that the risen Redeemer lives and reigns, and is with His church to the end of the world. This is not written for the Agnostic, nor for the doubters of the truth of the Scriptures. In the light of these considerations, how important and momentous is the position of Hawaii, and of Christian labor here. It is our distinction and privilege to occupy the central point in the forefront of this great forward movement of our Knglish speaking race and of our world-rtdeeming religion. How can we too deeply feel the value of our opportunity and the responsibilty of our position? �74 Temperance Agitation in Honolulu. October, 1899. THE FRIEND.

The last census of 1896 Hawaiians. By special request, the* Rev. Wm. Gardner, of the Disciples' Church, on the 10th ult., preached on Temperance in the Central Union Church. The sermon was judicious and impressive. We cull the following passages : "The object of an agitation of the temperance question should be to rescue the drunkard, to save the youth from the drink habit, to secure the execution of our laws, and to obtain better laws, if they are needed. Honolulu has fifteen licensed saloons. That is well, compared with many of our neighboring cities in California. One with H,OOO inhabitants, has eighty licensed saloons; no other with .'s,ooo inhabitants has forty places where liquor is sold. There are over 3,000 licensed dram shops in San 1-Yancisco. Last week I examined the license laws of Hawaii, and find them in many respects the best of any I have ever before read. Roys, girls, women, music and games are all excluded. Sunday opening is not allowed, and the license fee is $ 1,000 per annum. I am credibly informed that all the saloons but one are run in constant violation of law, and that that one, because of its known respectability, is the place where more young men from respectable families start in the road to ruin than at any other five. Though the number of saloons is small there are fifteen times too many, and their presence is a greater curse to our city than the constant presence of smallpox in a centrally located public house would be. A friend suggests that alcohol is a food and these institutions are entirely respectable and desirable, because they simply sell food. Yes, Professor Atwater, a reliable scientist, has demonstrated that alcohol is a food. Reason able temperance men will accept his conclusion that far, but it is well to consider the character of the food. Ur. H. F. Hughes of Boston, also a reliable scientist, says Professor Atwater's experiments with alcohol do not show that its food exceed its poisonous qualities; that, though a food, it is not such in a hygienic sense. Dr. Cyrus Edson of New York says it is a food, and that he uses it in his practice, but that, taken regularly in very small quantities, it will do harm, and affirms that ' if every drop were wiped off the face of the earth the world would be better off.'" We are sure that the very worthy proprietor of the " respectable " saloon alluded to, seeks to do his best as he understand it. Yet we personally know of such ruin being wrought to young is above named, by the means of the systematic cultivation of the appetite for alcohol in that same saloon, until it became resistless. Other young men undergo a like destructive process in clubs, or even at the home table. " gave relative numbers of pure Hawaiians as follows: Protestants 12,842, Roman Catholics 8,427, Mormons 4368. These figures express the religious afli liations of the native population, doubtless with some accuracy. The actual number of native members in good standing in the Evangelical churches as returned to the last meeting of the Evangelical Association, was 3519, or 27 per ct. of all persons called Protestants. These churches maintain some degree of discipline, so that none hold membership who are not of outwardly moral life. The Roman Catholics and Mormons count all as members without distinction. Thus the relative membership of those churches is not a criterion of their relative numbers. The superior intelligence and character of the Protestant native membership, received a striking demonstration in 1895 when about 90 cases of Asiatic Cholera occurred in Honolulu, nearly all of them native Hawaiians. It was the remark able fact, that not a single case of cholera occurred in the house of any member of the two Protestant churches of Kawaiahao and Kaumakapili. 'Phis exemption was vouched for at the time by the Pastors of those two churches As to the activity with which missionary labors are maintained among the various races in these Islands, it needs to be understood that the $30,000 annually expended by the Hawaiian Board over, covers only the smaller part of the actual expenditure. A very much larger sum is contributed and expended through other instrumentalities. Even the sev eral expensive Training Schools which are under the general control and direction of the Board, are not at all maintained from its treasury, but by the donations of friends outside. The numbers of boarders in those schools, and in the affiliated Kamehameha schools, are undoubtedly double the numbers in the Anglican and Roman Catholic schools combined. Total gi andchildren living 91 73 64 72 101 73 123 124 300 421 There are 338 children and grandchildren of missionaries residing here, or about one-twentieth of the combined white population, exclusive of the Latin races. Of the sons now living, we find sixteen who are in the Christian ministry, or over one in ten. We believe this to be a much larger percentage of ministers than can be found in any class of families in the United States. Eight of the sixteen are now in active Foreign Mission service, five of them in Hawaii, viz., Messrs. H. Bingham, F. W. Damon, O. P. Emerson, 0. H. Gulick and H. H. Parker—men of whom the Church is not ashamed. There are several young preachers and missionaries at work or coming forward in the third generation. It may be hoped that there will be many such. Hut that generation is not as near to the old missionaries, and hence is, perhaps, less imbued with their spirit. Yet it is a happiness to know that there are here very many devoted and loving Christian workers of both sexes, both of those connected and unconnected with Mission families. The spirit of the Fathers abides in the churches of Hawaii, with their membership from many nationalities. Death of Rev. Eli Corwin, D.D. The death of the third paster of the Fort street Church of Honolulu is thus recorded : " Dr. Corwin died in the Hospital for Incura- bles, Chicago, August 19, aged seventy-four. He was stricken with paralysis nineteen months ago, when on a lecturing tour in Kansas in the interests of Hawaii. Since that time he has been only dimly conscious of his condition. The funeral, conducted by Drs. Fifield and Roy, assisted by Rev. E. J. Alden, was on Wednesday, August 23, at the Warren Avenue Church, of which Dr. Corwin was a member, and in whose prosperity he had taken the deepest interest He was born in Orange County, N. V., in 1825, graduated at Williams with the class of 1848. and from the Union Theological Seminary in 1861. He served churches in Jamestown, N. V., Jacksonville, 111., Racine, Wis. But the pastorale of which he spoke most frequently, and which he deemed the most useful was that of the First Church, Honolulu, which he held from 1858 to 1808. He left Racine, his last pastorate, some years ago to become financial agent of the Chicago Theological Seminary.

Are there more Gods than one ? A. Yes, many. I Cor. viii:s. This passage is to be repeated by the child. "There be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth (as there be gods many, and lords many)." But the next question shows that they are Monotheists Q. Must we worship more thin one God ? A. No, to us there is but tine God, the Father of mankind, and the Creator of the earth. The present nature of God is thus : described : Cj. What kind of a being is God? A. He is in the form of a man. Q. How doyou learn this ? A. The Scriptures declare that man was made in the image of God. Q. Is it not said th it (rod is a Spirit ? A. Yes, the Scriptures say so. Q. How, then, can God be like M in? A. Man has a spirit, though clothed with a body, and God is similarly constituted. (j. Has God a body then ? A. Yes, like unto a man's body in figure. Plurality of gods is taught in the chapter on the creation where this question is found O. What did the (rods do on the second day ? A. They created an expanse, and divided the waters. (Pearl of Great Price, page 64.) Q. Was it necessary that Adam should take of the forbidden fruit ? A. Yes, unless he had done so he would not have known good and evil here, neither could he have had mortal posteiity, and he could not have cleaved to Eve, as he had promised after her fall. (Pearl of Great Price, page 31. Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi, 11:2236.) O. Did Adam and Eve lament or rejoice because they had transgressed the commandment and become acquainted with the nature of evil and good ? A. They rejoiced and praised God. O. Is it proper for us to consider the transgression of Adam and live as a grevious calamity, and that all man kind would have been infinitely more happy if the Fall had not occurred ? A. No. But we ought to consider the Fall of our first parents as one of the great steps to eternal exaltation and happiness, and one ordered by God in His infinite wisdom, for we cannot know the excellency and beauty of that which is good unless we experience the wretchedness and deformity of that which is : 75 THE FRIEND. The Boys' Brigade. This is an organization started three months since, to unify and control boy's clubs of the city, that they may all conduce to growth in Christian manli ness." There were alre.-dy three clubs in different sections of the city, with the object of enrolling boys for their better development. The promoters of the Boys' Brigade include such educators and Christian workers as Theo. Richards, Aimstrong Smith, 11. V.. Coleirun and F. W. Da mon. Over thirty young men have pledged their services one night in a week in the work of the Brigade. There are to be regular Thursday night meet ings for instruction and exercise in various programs. Clubs will be organ izcil for Chinese and Portuguese boys. A religious committee will plan gatherings f-i religious, temperance, purity or evangelistic work; a military committee will arrange for the management of tactics, officers, drills, etc.; an athletic committee will unify athletics and gymnasium work, and arrange for competitive sports and exhibitions. There will also be an entertainment committee and an industrial committee to discuss "savings," plans, and employment for boys, and perhaps provide some indus trial training at night. About $tiOU is needed at once to put the Brigade on a good working basis. The m riiey will no doubt be contributed. All this is first class, practical Christian " Mrs. Alice Gordon Gulick's Institute. An earnest appeal comes from Mrs. Gulick for the removal to the capital, Madrid, of the International Institute for Girls in Spain. It will be remembered that at the outbreak of the late war this Ameiican Institute was removed bodil> over the border from Santander to the neighboring Biarritz, in France. The time has come for its restoration to Spanish soil, and many reasons make it desirable to place it at the political center, Madrid. This school has been in operation for eighteen years. Forty of its graduates have been employed as teachers in the principal cities of Spain, and last year had 2500 children under iheir instruction. Thirteen of the girls have taken the degree of B. A. in the State Institute, and in 1M97 two of them received the degree corresponding to M. A., after studying in the University of Madrid. A m ist desirable location for the school, with excellent buildings, has been selected in Madrid. It needs about $140,000 to make the purchase. Mrs. evil. Mormonism teaches that all men are Gulick turns for aid for this object, to descended from God the Father, by the United States, and especially to Hawaii, where Mr. and Mrs. Gulick are so ordinary generation. well'known and honored. Certainly no greater blessing can be conferred upon unfortunate Spain than higher education on evangelical lines for her daughters, so long the dupes of a corrupted church. We trust that Hawaii may have the honor of contributing important aid to this enterprise. The Transvaal. The black arch of the storm has risen high over the land of the Boers during the past month, and every moment one looks for the bolts of war's lightning to fall. The Boers are a gallant and determined band. 'Ihe Orange Free State has cast its lot in alliance with them against England, and the strong Afrikander element in Cape Colony is in sympathy. A war With the Boers seems likely to tax England's energies severely. There are about ( .iOO,OOO whites together in all South Africa. There are also three million ot blauk natives occupying the country with them, whose rights and prerogatives appear to have no existence in the views of any of the parties to the controversy. English and German missionaries have done a huge amount of most devoted woik in Christianizing and civilizing those degraded tribes. Several of those missionaries and their settlements have, from time to time, fallen victims to the hostility and ferocity ot the Boers, who desired to hold the natives as unprotected slaves. Although the Boers are deeply religious people, in their great ignorance and illiteracy, the black men have been regarded by them as little superior to any other brute cattle. England's aim is to secure for all white English subjects complete political equality in the Transvaal, over which territory she claims entire sovereignty, as over the whole of South Africa. The Boers deny her sovereignty, and propose to admit the Outlanders to citizenship only after forswearing Bi itish allegiance. As a large majority of the whites are now Outlanders, who own the enor mously wealthy diamond and gold mines, it has become indispensable to them to possess a full voice in legislation for the protection of their own interests. The Boers absolutely deny them any voice, except on impossible conditions, and make Dutch the sole language of legislature, courts and schools. They are full of pride over former repulses of the British at Majuba and Laing's Nek, and promise, in the coming war, to make a resistance which will be memorable. It seems very doubtful wh ther the 5;l,00) British troops now ordered to Souih Africa will be adequate to handle ihem. Are our readers familiar with the fact that the precise antipodes of Honolulu lie near Lake Ngami, only 500 miles northwest of Johannesburg and Pretoria? �The Seamen's Club. A visit to the hall upstairs at the foot of Nuuanu street occupied by the Seamen's Club, showed it to be prospering. Quite a number of seamen were found there, improving the various opportunities of pastime. Some were at the billiard table, others re.iding the papers and illustrated journals, while some were extracting music from the piano and stringed instruments. A few nights ago a large company of seamen filled the hall at a musical ,mt) literary entertain ment. This club is a most useful and common-sense device in the line of benevolence, worthy of the practical mind of brother Frank Co ke, who led the way in establishing it. We have also been pleased to find ■ cheerful resort for sea men and working nun on Maunakea street, wheie Nl k Br ham at his "Cottage Inn" Iceeos .1 stiictly temperance drink in the form of an excellent toamy hop beer. Entering Harbors Without Pilots. Attempts to do this in this group, have twice caused the stranding of ships during the past month. On the evening of the 12th. the Coaliiiga became fast in the sand at the entrance of Honolulu harbor. Fortunati 'y she was on the east side where wind and current both tended to prevent her working farther upas did the unfortunate O'Briei on the west side not long since. The Coaliiiga was hauled off by the tug without loss. In a more critical position was the bark Colusa on the 2WI at Kahului, where she also had attempted to enter without a pilot and went on the reef, about a milcto windward of the entrance. Fortunately the sea was smooth. She had a large quantity of water pipes and pumping machinery of vital importance to the Sprei kelsville Plantation, whose officials made extraordinary efforts to save the cargo and ship. She, too, got off with slight injury. In Christian lands we have some good "sky-pilots," such as the 'Pen Commandments, the book of Proverbs, and the Gospels. It is very safe to take thesepilots aboard, and very dangerous to attempt to make the port of Heaven without their guidance. The wrecks of unpiloted men encumber all the reefs.

A vivid impression is given of the peculiarities of that interesting, but wasting, branch of the Polynesian race, and of their beautiful country. The lectures are interspersed with native music, chants and songs some pathetic, some most barbaric. Mr. Rawei and his educated native wife are conducting an orphanage among their people.

I - The Oahu Aid Society has fairly he— gun its more extensive work of church aid. The two efficient societies at Kaua 1 and Maui have been taken as models, though there is at least one departure from their methods in the operation of the Oahu Society. Aid is given on this island to building and repairing enterprises, which is not undertaken by the Maui Society, while by the Kauai Soci ety only funds are allowed for repairs on pastors'houses which are owned by the Society. To help the churches in their building enterprises, and at the same time reduce to a minimum the irrespon sible soliciting with subscription papers, constitutes a worthy object. When peo pie are approached now with papers re questing aid for this or that church, canvassers can be properly referred to the Oahu Aid Society, which will be in creasihgly in a position to render prompt and intelligent aid. This principle of concentration is nothing new, but has been brought prominently to the atten tion of the public of late in the formation of the Associated Charities of the city. The old church at Haaula,(Koolauloa) Oahu, well represents the pathos of one who has outlived his generation. It might be said to be still in a fair state of preservation, with shingles, floors, seats, and even window panes in their places. To be sure the walls, of the old fashioned adobe type, are profusely scrawled with children's handwriting, and—what is the most suggestive of defeat and abandonment—the arch-occupier lantana has well nigh barred the approaches and has even thrust its way into the easily yielding doors and broken panes. VVhy not repair ? To what end ? The pathetic part of it is that no repair will bring back the congregations of three to four hundred which might comfortably gather in the old walls. They have all died or moved away. Now there are less than fifty people, natural adherents of a Protestant evangelical congregation, but all of them living two or three miles away. The resident pastor, the Rev. Nuuhiwa, has shown himself wise to meet the emergency, and has with his own hands cleared a place out of the lantana for his house, and almost unaided built the foundation and part of the superstructure of n moHpst little church nearly three The Boys' Clubs of Honolulu have been merged into the Boys' Brigade. This new organization expects to carry on the work of as many clubs as are demanded and of which it feels confident to assume the management. Just now th re aic three clubs, comprising a membership ol about I2S boys. These may fairly be called the neglected type of street boys, most of whom have no good employment and homes of a very questionable valutc as homes. Thirty of the strong and able young men of the city have pledged a night a week for the effectual management of theseand other clubs which may be organized. They are assigned to one of six committees having in charge the work assigned to that committee in all the clubs concurrently on the same night, and according to a similar programme. Besides the military training, which appeals to the boys and furnishes a means of effective discipline, athletic work in the way of gymnasium drills, entertainments which the boys are encouraged to furnish among themselves, there is a short religious ritual formed especially for the boys, and one in which they all take part. Perhaps one of the most important functions contemplated by this organization is to provide industrial employment and instruction for the boys in the evenings. Arrangements have been so far perfected at the present that the right instructor has been arranged for and an enterprise planned which promises an education on a nearly self-supporting basis. A proper place for the opening up of the school is one of the requisites at present. Any one desiring to inquire further, or who may desire to aid the enterprise should communicate with Mr. Percy Fond, who is chairman of the Industrial Committee. The readers of The Friend will be interested to learn that steps are being taken to get the sentiment of the reputable Japanese citizens on the question of the segregation of legalized prostitution. As the national honor of the Japanese is necessarily involved in the publicity of their national shame on Fauahi street, Oriental pride is invoked to arouse the weak sense of decency displayed by our Christian civilization. 79 It is only fair to state that the Marshal is highly in favor of such a move but feels doubtful about some things, among them probably being the reasonable doubt as to whether the public cares a bean about the matter. The large element in our community which is presumably Christian are not in evidence sufficiently to make it easy to know what they do think* on these and other moral issues, so usually left to politicians. When the Japanese have expressed themselves, as they undoubtedly will, in favor of doing what is done in Tokio and other heathen cities, then there will be steps taken to secure Government cooperation. The Oahu Aid Society are able to help local churches in another way. For example, the Waialua parsonage has needed repairs. The society has offered to supply one-half of the requisite $240. However, the church finding it hard to get the entire sum of its half from the church members, who are poor, a concert company which did service this summer on Hawaii is called into requisition. This society, which consists of eight young people of the Kamehameha schools will go to Waialua and with the kind assistance of Mrs. Turner (whom the Hawaiians all know as Mele Kuke) and Col. laukeaof the Waialua Hotel, will raise the money at Waialua by means of a quid pro quo. The concert will be given October 7th. Let the hotel guests take notice of the date. Itis a noticeable and encouraging sign that the work of building and repairing of Hawaiian churches has shown unusual activity in the last year or two. It is doubtful if this be fairly attributed to any increase of wealth on the part of the membership of those churches. They may have shared to some degree in the very general prosperity, and of course it must be conceded that a good part of the funds has come from the foreign patrons. Still the will to do this thing has undoubteply sprung up in the Hawaiian mind, and the execution has been attended with considerable sacrifices. Examples ofthis can be found in Kaupo, Maui, the movement of the Gilbert Islanders in Lahaina, the Church of Laupahoehoe on Hawaii, Kaluaaha on Molokai, Haaula on Oahu, not to speak of splendid efforts of the people at Kaumakapili. There are undoubtedly instances of a like kind on Kauai. Before long the only grounds for sports in Honolulu, like base ball and cricket, will have been given for other uses. To be sure, Mr. Frank Damon's untinni' efforts will have resulted in a �small park and playground for younger children on the riverfront, but there will be no place large enough for such games as have been mentioned. Public morals will have to pay the penalty of such a lack. Hoys must have some diversion, healthy or unhealthy. At present the interest uppermost in the minds of the majority of the boys nf the city is some form of gambling. Base ball is fully as interesting, but the boys of the cily have no place to play. There is some gov eminent land left in the city, and as recent authorative action on the part of the President of the United States would seem to hi ye removed the temptation on the part of our local government to sell such lands, the community now has the opportunity ol showing some wise occupancy ol the land in question, even if such were but temporary. We should have some public recreation grounds. Hawaii needs a Pastor's Aid Society. This large island can certainly raise funds for the better maintenance of the native Hawaiian work, and certainly thi moral claims upon ihe laige incomes raising from the largest aggregation of sugar estates is none the Itss on that island. A good man who will give his time and interest to such a work is the first essential. October, 1899. THE FRIEND. 80 often heretofore, the hope of that sorely distressed country rests in its godly minority, in those who have learned their morals where they have gained their religion, from the lips ol the Man of Galilee.—The Pacific. as An Immense Pump. It is stated that the largest irrigation in the world has been ordered from Frsser & Chalmers of Chicago for Oahu Plantation. It will have a capacity of raising ten million gallons every twenty-four hours to a height of 7f>f> feet, and will irrigate much over 1006 acres of cane. One finds il hard tube lieve that it can possibly pay to lift water to such an altitude at a cost doubtless of over $I 0u an a:re per cane crop. But ihe people probably know what they are doing. Waialua Flanta tion is stated to have ordered ■ pump to lift eight millions of gallons a day to At those altitudes B height of TOO feet. there aie some grand breadths ol good land between Ewa and Waialua, which no one has hitherto supposed it possi ble to irrigate, although for half the year they lcciive ram enough for ordinary crops. pump Rainfall in August. of modern scholarship he comes to feel are as nothing compared with a soul thai has caught the vision of God and his goodness. One listens and finds his soul thirsting for God, for the living God. There is a danger that many, in their desire to be correct and philosophical, become cold and formal. North field is a good rectifier in this direction. It brings God before the soul as the only satisfying portion and seeks to center the soul steadfastly upon him. A thoughtful man, who was getting great good from the conference, said to me: "This is not the place to come for the beat results of modern scholarship. It is the place to come to get cleaned out, and there is great need of it." Xvi iv day there is somthing at Northfield to criticise, but every day there are opportunities to enter into the vtry presence chamber of God. One who seeks the Spirit's guidance may see at Northfield that love is laiger and and that the life of stronger than Qod is richer and grander than all the definitions and interpretations of that life that have heen given of men. The practical tendency of the Northfield teaching also impressed me deeply. The higher life," which is really the Christ life, is presented constantly, but it is a life that is intensely practical in its outcome. So exalted are the teachings, for instance, of Mr. Meyer that many say 'is they listen: "That is beyond me." "I cannot see it." "I do not understand it." But the very moment the application ot the truth is made the veriest child can understand, and eveiy earnest soul finds himself pi.tying: "Lord, that is what I want. Help me to get hold of it." For instance, at the close of an address one morning came this application: "Now some ot you ladies will have to pay You more attention to your dress. must take Christ into consultation. You must dress to the glory of God. Some of you will have to write letters. It will be hard work, but it must be done. Go home and do it before you sit down to dinner. You have wronged a friend. Make th.it matter right. Some of you must make restitution. Some of you must break at once with that impure habit. 1 cannot go into that matter further.''

Another almost universal lack in ministers is their tailure to receive any systematic training in elocution. Their defective elocution sadly handicaps moal ministers, who have never enjoyed any scientific training in the use ol then voices. The seminary instructors seem to value book-learning unduly above the power of expression, which is, at least, Hut of more of eipial consequence. all else to the minister, than importance is a heart beating with love and desue to save dying men, and a soul tilled with the power of the Holy Ghost.

His father was a gentleman of position, whose home was one of culture �THE FRIEND 86 and refinement as well as piety. He graduated at Williams College in IN. r>:i. As he mounted the platform to deliver the valedictory his classmates rose and cheered bun, which was an unprece dented honor. He took his theological course partly in Union Seminary, and partly in Princeton. He had previously spent some time as a tutor in college. His first pastorate was in Brinilield, Mass., and his second in Center Congre gational Church in Haverhill. While at Brimlit Id he married Mary a daughter of Dr. Knight of that town, the honored sharer of his pastoral and missionary labors. In IS,!') urgent representation was made to the American B 'aid of the need of at least I wo men of exceptional ability to reinforce the missionary both in Hawaii, who were fast passing away. An especial need was that of a suitable man to continue the work of training native Hawaiians for the gospel ministry an the native churches and in the Gilbert and Marsh ill Islands The aged fathers, Revs. D. Baldwin and li. VV. Parker, were then conducting such a school in Honolulu. Instead of the two men needed, as the writer heard Father Damon urge upon Secretin) Clark in Boston, only one was found, bill he a man of rare consecration and capacity for labor. In March of the next year Dr. Hyde was appointed a missionary of the American Board, and arrived in Honolulu with his family on May 31, 1*77. He immediately applied himself with scholarly industry and skill to the acquisition of the Hawaiian tongue. Although at the age of forty five a colloquial aptness in native idiom and accent was impracticable, few of the earlier missionaries ever wrote the language more grammatically, and probably none bad so copious and accurate a vocabulary. Di. Hyde reorganized the work of the training school and placed it upon a broader basis under the name of the North P.cific Mission Institute New buildings were ultimately erected upon the now very attractive premises. From under Dr. Hyde's training have gone forth nearly all the pastors of Hawaiian churches now in active service. The excellent work of many of them Strongly testifies to the wise and painstaking labor of their tireless and patient instructor, as well as that of his various coadjutoi s, especially the Rev. H. H. Parker, the instructor in Homiletics. Dr. Hyde's abilities were many and varied, and became of the greatest service in many departments of educational and social work in these islands. He possessed unusual executive and administrative talent, such as would have given him eminence in business circles. He had great literary facility and accu racy, and a wide range of knowledge. He had a high degree of tact and selfcontrol, and a ready perception of the [November, situation, which made hun ol rare use fulness as an advisor on occasions of colliding opinions in Church and li ..ml meetings, where he often brought dc bates successfully to a point by w. llframed resolutions. The Social Sen nee Club was initiated by him at an earl) date, and owes its very satisfactory con Gitit >n for twenty years largely to his tactful and genial conduct as secretary Dr. Hyde's executive ability and intelligence made him trustee in main educational and other institutions notably Oahu College, Kamehameha Schools and the Bishop Museum. In each of these he has occupied a leading position. In the organization and dc velopment of the Kamehameha schools, his has been the leading hand in tin work. His personal wisdom and in tinstty havi been indispensable to their CI ration and growth. For tin: past live years ihe Into national lessons have been regularl) pared by Dr. Hyde foi the Hawaiian Sabbath schools in quarterly fotm. One ol his I,iiesi labors Was th. preparation for the press ofthe lessons foi the pasl month of October.

Several years BgO, when taking a vacation in Europe by the aitl of friends, be collected materials for Kindergarten work, which wen- ol essential value in initiating such work in Honolulu. He rendered special service in initiating instruction in sewing in the government schools. Dr. Hyde was one of line presence, and even, placid manner, apparently never in a hurry, yet always Working and moving othcis to work. Above all. he was deeply spiritual in temper, heavenly minded, and profoundly con secrated to the Master. With the highest abilities for acquiring wealth, he had put earthly gain behind him and lived foi the kingdom of God and lis establish ment on earth.

The Rev. Lyman Abbott, D.D., al though the opposite of conservative in his theology, is profoundly loyal to Christ and His Kingdom, and a hearty believer in Foreign Missions.

We all welt: glad when British and French guna opened China to the gospel. The subjugation of India by British arms made possible the recent enormous progress of Chris tianity there All missionaries hail with eager hope the forcible breaking down of political barriers to the dissemination of the gospel, as latel) m the Philippines. The wilful misrepresentation of Dr. Abbott by the Springfield Republican only betrays a deep sealed aversion to the gospel of the Lord Jesus, and svm pathy with His enemies, They represent nearly every Protestant denomination which carries on foreign missions, .mil they conn from man) nations in Europe, Australia. Among the Aim iic.t ami names appended are ten Congregation alisrs, thirteen Wesley ans, eighteen Presbyterians, thirteen Methodist Fpia copalians and six Baptists.

We may still have different views and opinions on several minor questions of our religion, and may follow different methods of church policy and Christian work, as each one's conscience directs him, but yet we feel we are one by the blood of Jesus, our only Savior and Mediator, and by His spirit, which moves our hearts.

Mr. Ransome savs " It is difficult to estimate the number of Christians in Japan, but it is safe to say there is not one in every 1(111,0(10 of the population, the statistics of the missionaries to the contrary notwithstanding, Without impugning ihe good faith ol the missionaries il n, iy be said that they often take natives foi Christians who appear to acquiesce with them in conversation on religious subjects.

In a population of forty millions, "one in every 100,000," would be only 111(1 Christians in all Japan! Mr. Ransome evidently writes at rand The actual membership in the Protestant chinches exceeds 10,0(1(1, or one hundred times Mr. Ransome's estimate. And all ot these are persons carefully examined ami admitted after due probation. More than this, they represent by their families a population of probably 200,000, who are affiliated to the Chris tian chinches. This makes no estimate of the large numbers attached to the Roman Catholic Church. It is presumable that Mr. Ransome indulges in no such blundering reckless ness in his treatment of other topics in his book. At the late meeting of the American Board, Dr. Pentecost appropriately said : "As for the successes—l am wearied to death of the criticisms that come from the press through magazines, such as was read this afternoon, by those who never give a penny to missions and who never crossed the threshold of a Christian church in those far-off lands. My brethren, we have accomplished—l say "we "-the missionaries in America ami England have accomplished more in the way of numerical results in India alone, a country infinitely more difficult to reach than the old Romish Empire was, we have accomplished more in 10(1 years than was accomplished in the first four centuries, beginning with the Apostles, in the whole world." : . - �88 THE FRIEND ii i losed, suijeit tii ratification b\ ihe members of the congregation after Mark Twain writrs as follows about it is organised.

It seems to he authentically made known that Bishop Potter will soon come to Honolulu, on business relating to the transfer of the Episcopal Church here from its Hritish connection to that oftht Protestant Episcopal Church in America. That so important and inlluetitial a Bishop is coining on this errand is interpreted by the "Church Defense antl Extension Association," organized in opposition to Bishop Willis, as imply ing a thorough and effective invesliga lion into the undesirable conditions now existing in this diocese, which will no doubt soon be duly Americanized.

Fierce fighting is already raging at Antipodes in South Africa, and pro mises to be much fiercer after the to.noo British troops land, who aie now on the way from England. years ago, Britons fought to enforce taxation over the Americans without representation. Now they fight to save the 100,0011 Engliahmen in the Transvaal from taxation by the 50,000 Boers without rep resentation. The issue is similar, but the parties are reversed. The English claim equal political rights with the Boers. The latter claim t be the on ginal and exclusive owners of the country, while the English .ne only uutland ers or aliens, who shall have no voicein the government. There might be more sympathy for these brave and patriotic Boers were they less rude and illiterate. Those who read, read Dutch only, but their current speech is "Taal," a broken Dutch jargon, consisting of about lOlln words in all. British civil ization has overtaken the Boers in theit inland retreat, and is compelling them unwillingly to accept it. Their posterity will rejoice in the changed con ditions. 1!) the death of Minister James A. King, the very important Department of the Interior was left without a head. The appointment to that office of Mr. Alexander Young is generally hailed with satisfaction. It is felt that he biings to the office not only integrity, but the necessary capacity and energy to carry into execution our system of public win ks, which Minister King's enfeebled health had left for a long time to tall behind. There is in the Treasury a large amount of money unexpended, which has been appropriated for that purpose, and which needs to be restored into public circulation. Mr. Young was lor a long period the very successful manager of the great Horn, lulu Iron Works, and was hugely interest til in sugar plantations, which brought him an immense fortune. Al though ot late settled in Oakland, Cal., he consents to assume the burdens ol ibis public position. He is slill vigorous Mr. Hiram Percy Maxim in Cassier's Magazine for September, states that in most of the great cities the electric motors nearly displace all other automobile vehicles. He says: "It is possible to buy today in America an electric carriage which will carry either two or four passengers a distance of thirty miles over ordinary grades at an average speed of eleven miles an hour on one charge of its storage battery." This Confirms our idea that our Honolulu street cars can be driven by storage batteries. May we not hope that all our tranicars will soon be propelled by electricity, without encumbering the streets with trolley poles. our I-I Hilo-KR ha ailway. The Red Fish Swarm.

A letter has been received from the Mr. Vernier, of the Marquesas Islands, in which lie expresses the hope that Key. Kekela has recovered in health sufficiently to retain to his old charge on those islands. He states that there has heen a sad defection in the palish since the departure of Kekela, and affirms his belief that the return of the veteran missionary would set things right. There is little question hut that Key. the aged warrior wants to go hack, and it would seem to he a wise and niercilul thing as well to allow him to close his life where he has spent the beat part of it. The Hawaiian songs translated by are not likely to be Vet the history of all improved upon. that, despite movements shows religious of a few of the the abiding popularity old songs, there conies an absolute need for new ones. It may be different with the older members of the church, but among the young (there are some of these in the Hawaiian Sunday schools, though all too few) there is a demand for something inspiriting, progressive, new, and at no point is the recognition of this fact more important to the snccess of the Sunday school than in the matter of music. A movement is on foot to introduce two new songs (new to the Hawaiians) in each number of the "Hoohana," the Hawaiian Sunday school paper. 'The thought is that these songs may he assembled afterwards in a cheap song hook. The island associaciations, which have been consulted on this point, are strongly in favor. "Father" Lyons The " Hoohana " suggests passages in the life of the late Dr. Hyde. Kor years he had charge of this little sheet, and the last lessons printed are a pathetic reminder of the heroic persist ence of a faithful man in the face of mortal weakness. When not able to more than sit up, he patiently translated these lessons; and almost the last work of his hands were the sheets now in print. There are few instances of greater pluck and self forgetfulness than are shown in the last days of Dr. C. M. Hyde. One of the little country comthe islands is Paauilo, Hamakua. Within a shoil radius there are two plantations, a goodly number ol settled homesteads and several important coffee estates, which are all compacted together by good roads. Naturally and more than most peo pie realize, the tone of a plantation Community depends very much on the character of the manager. Naturally he gathers round linn men ol his own stamp. Paauilo reflects morally, as well as commercially, the high character of the resident managers Mr. A. Lydgate and Mr. J. M- Homer. Order, decency, sobriety and respectability characterise the community. Further—we find the social comforts and amenities of life. Their men are human beings, something more than implements for the manufacture of sugar, and pains is taken 10 minister to their comfort antl well heing. The employees have comfortable, even artistic homes. There is a beautiful little church artistically finished, Where services are held every Sunday morn ing. A public library with a lot of good hooks well taken care of, a dainty parsonage, a public cemetery, a hospital, and a foreign school. Key. Mr. 'Tonikins the resident Minister, is a man of superior attainments and ability, a musician and artist, as well as an excellent preacher, and his wife is a most charming little woman, deservedly popular. Mr. 'Tonikins nun isters also on alternate Sundays al Honokaa and Laupahoehoe. His sup port is contributed in equal proportions by the Hamakua Plant Co. and the people of his field. The social conditions are pleasant, tennis meets being held once or twice a week, in which as far as possible the gentlemen also take part. The native church at Laupahoehoe has been completely rebuilt, and is now ready for painting. While visiting at Laupahoehoe, Mr. J. M. Lydgate conducted services there in Hawaiian, and as soon as it became generally known, a goodly audience gathered in. It is a pity that a pastor cannot he found for this church, as it is an important munities on nicest 91 Annual Meeting of the A. B. C. P. M.

A gam nt nearly :io(i contributing chinches was reported. Through tin t flints of Mr. Wishaid, twenty churches had assumed the support of one missionary each: (200,000 came in through the Woman's Hoards. 'Total receipts foi the year were $(i 14,201 and total expenditures $692,447, It may reasonably he expected that the amount ol legacies will soon return to former averages. Special notice was made in the public journals of an address by Key. M. L. Gordon, M.D., who has been a mission, oy in Japan since IK7'J. Dr. Gordon was last year ill Hawaii, and has recently accepted temporary service under the Hawaiian Hoard, to labor for the Japanese in these Islands with Rev 0. H. Gulick. Dr. Gordon said that "In spite of the constant misrepresentations of 'globetrotters,' who never visit the missions which they condemn, the work in Japan was full of promise; 10,000 members are found in sixty churches, all young or in middle life. Out of the four leaders of the. Liberal party in Parliament, two were active Christian men, and the speaker of the house, an elder in a Presbyterian chutch, offers a silent prayer on taking the chair each morning." The above named 10,000 members belong to the Kumi-ai, or Congregational churches. In Secretary Judson Smith's survey of the year's woik, he said : " The work of the Hoard in the foreign field was never mure hopeful and commanding than it is now. In particular places and in some single respects, the record of former years may have been more striking; hut in the broad view of the whole field and all forms of work, we have reached high-water mark to-day. The center. story from the missions, though couched The Kaala church is in a bad state of in sober words, reads like a romance ; repair, and is seldom if ever used.

The report in the New York Observer says : "An impressive scene followed on the appearance of the Key.

Hut the bet ter element of the Japanese are aroused; they say that many cases of sand bagging and blackmail have terrorized the Japanese community; the)'declare that these toughs are on the increase because the women who support them are on the increase (the soldiers off the ttansPOrta have heen an immense source of income); they feel the odium of the thing and the national disgrace, as the large majority of the licensed women are Japanese. The following is the text of the paper signed by these eighty prominent Japanese: The following facts are stated in the "Tor the protection of the honor ot Advertiser of the Kith ult.: the Japanese name in this country, and "It appears that ( November, 1899 THE FRIEND 92 a petition was being circulated among ihe better class of Japanese with the idea of getting their opinion on the Paualii street question. A Japanese circulated the paper and got about eighty names of some of the lead ing citizens and merchants. 'That night he was visited. About forty of his countrymen called in kimonos. They introduced themselves as the proprietors of the plants on Pauahi street, and osten tatiously displayed their heavy sticks They further stated that they and their "club" owned furniture and fittings over there valued at about $30,000, not counting the 300 women, whose value was not stated. 'They told this man that if his project went through, viz.- if the Pauahi street tenants were warned off, they would sew him up in a bag and deposit him in the harbor. His sign would immediately come down, and they offered to confer in the next room as to the best means of disposing of him. They left him in considerable uncertainty as to what would become of him, and they took away the petition. This man's place was closed up for a few days. In the meantime the"club" (as they are called on Pauahi street) continued to call in hacks upon several signers of the petition. It was the necessary policy ol some of these petitioners to deny the genuineness of their signatures or else clsim that through ignorance of English they were not aware of the nature of the paper they had signed. They knew the "club," for several of them (shopkeepers) have been unwillingly supplying them with goods after this fashion: The •club' man swaggers into the shop and asks for credit. He is politely denied the request, whereupon he helps him self. There is no gainsaying such an artlessly direct method, and the customer is never billed. Still not one of these merchants will s<.y this on the witness stsnd. Such is the intrenched position of the 'club' that the marshal is power to preserve decency on our public streets and the innocency of our children, is it not time to segregate prostitution and place it in some Carefully regulated place without the congested portions ot our city? It is respectfully urged that all Japanese citizens who desire this will subscribe their names to this document.

Hut it should not be left to breed pestilence in a crowded central tenement district, adj icent to churches and schools. Queensland produced last year 163,-73-1 tons of cane sugar. This was 12,124 tons in excess of the entire consumption of sugar in Australia. The yield was very small per acre. It was produced largely by white labor. 'The extraordinary skill and large )ield in cultivating cane in Hawaii, have led the Queensland people to borrow our Dr. Maxwell for a few weeks, to advise them about proper fertilization of their soils. The third week in October was marked by a moderate but most refreshing rain, amounting in the course of five days to from four to five inches in Honolulu. This is the first good rain since last March. Owing to the longcontinued drought upon the mountains, so much of the rain was absorbed by the ridges that little flow was left to replenish the reservoirs. There was little rise in the streams Good rains are reported from the other Islands. From Kauai.

After listening to the public statements of the four native delegates as well as of their two white colleagues, we desire to state the impressions made thereby. In the first place our Hawaiian brothers had a must exceptional oppor tunity for pleasure and profit.

All her life a whose circle is now diminished by one, in a large number of churches and sufferer from varied illness, a peculiarly only gone befoie. They feel that for the �94 departed one, most sensibly, "to live was Christ, and to die was gain." She went in great peace, and assurance of hope. Two days before in extreme prostration, she seemed to "hear the angels singing." To all of us aging ones, and to these three so much enfeebled, the departure of this beloved soul lends fresh hope and courage. The mortal part of our sister was laid in the earth of the old mission grave yard of Kawaiahao, by the side of two older brothers who died in infancy in 1822 and 182ft, the first white children who died in Hawaii. Her grave became hidden in the profuse gifts of flowers from the concourse of missionary "cousins," many of us her contempraries of the early thirties. It is a good resting-place for that which is perishable, while the immortal soars aloft. Missionary Power with Hindus. The following was told by Dr. Fairbairn, after his return from lecturing in India : One day outside an Indian city, I passed two shapely and beautiful English women. They came well mounted, trotting gaily and gallantly, one on either side of the road, bearing themselves on horseback as only English women can. That was one great type of the English woman the native sees. May I tell you of another ? It is not a tale told by a missionary; it was a tale told by a civilian to me. We were walking in his garden just as the sun was westering, and he broke out in the way of an enthusiastic Scotsman. After having relieved his soul in criticism of what he thought defects in mission work, he broke out in praise of the woman as missionary, and then he told a tale, how, in a district where he was Commissioner in the famine, there had been in one of the cities or towns somewhat of an outbreak. There was no white man in the residence. Into the mission school, where sat the only white face, a missionary woman among her scholars, there suddenly broke the Tesildar, the native head ofthe town, saying: "Oh, Mem Sahib, there is a mutiny." " That is not my function ; it is yours ; I am a woman, you are a man." " Ah, but you are the only White face in the district. Come, they will hear you. Send them to their homes." So she arose, she marshalled her scholars behind her, she marched out, she ordered the men to disperse, they fell right and left, she marched through with her scholars behind, the Tesildar humbly bringing up the rear. Nor was that all. She had to go on leave, and a younger woman took her place. Then the famine came, and all that she could personally raise she carefully distributed. Then came word of [December, 1899. THE FRIEND. the Mansion House Fund. How was it to be distributed ? A meeting was called, the Commissioner presiding. Up stood a venerable Hindu, the chief man of the town, and said: If this money is to find its destiny, and none of it is to stick to anybody's hand that does not need it, you must place it in the hands of the Mem Sahib at the school." " Ah," said my friend, "We cannot do that; she is of a Mission." "She may be of the Mission, but she is the one person that will see every anna properly distributed, fulfilling its end." Then —for he was supported by the chief Mussulman—it was determined to entrust the distribution to the Mem Sahib; there that young girl did a work that no man could be found to do, and did it so well as to fill all hearts with admiration. As the summer went on she grew pale —faded, they proceeded to send her to the hills. To the hills she long refused to go, but by-and-bye she consented. Just the day before she was to go, cholera came. Then she met my friend with a face radiant with smiles, and said: "Now I cannot go; Now I must stay, " and through it she stayed, and through it she lived and when one came to compliment her who remarked on the folly of trying to change the Hindu, she met him in the noblest way by saying: " Why, what would you consider the man doing who came and asked you in your own office as to the folly of your own work ? " Theie is the type of the woman in India missions, living to help, living to heal, living to educate the child, and, above all, living to give to the Indian wife and the Indian mother an ideal of womanhood as the promise of remaking India, and she will be beloved and remembered after the ex quisite horsemanship of many a rare and graceful rider has perished ahd been " ; forgotten." Letters of General S. C. Armstrong. The following letters of the late Gen. Armstrong have lately appeared in the P. C. Advertiser. They were written at the age of 26, when he was in command of a brigade of colored troops : "January 22, 1865. my orderly was hold" Yesterday as( before Petersburg ) I ing my horse asked him where he was from. He said he was from Hawaii. He proved to be a full blooded kanaka by the name of Kealoha, who came from the Islands last year. There is also another by the name of Kaiua, who lived near " Tahiti " Smith's who left the Islands last year. I enjoyed seeing them very much, and had a good jabber with them in Kanaka. Kealoha is a private in the forty-first Regiment, United States colored troops, and Kaiua is a private in the Twenty-eighth United States colored troops, in the pioneer corps ; both are good men and seemed glad to see me." The following is an extract from another letter to his mother, dated at Ap pomatox Courthouse at the time of General Lee's surrender " Appomatox Courthouse, April 9, 1865. The great Confederate General and " his army have surrendered unconditionally. I have just been viewing from an eminence the captive host, the artillery and wagon trains. The Confederates found themselves this morning surrounded and without provisions (General Custer had captured the supply trains). Early we advanced and our skirmish lines met those of the enemy. Mine drove not only the rebel skirmishers, but also their line of battle ; we expected a fight. I never felt more like it. I mounted my stallion and was ready to lead at a word. A few bullets whistled around ; a few shells passed over ; the rebs. gave way ; all was quiet. There was a rumor of surrender. We waited ; other rumors came, and finally it was certain that the cruel war was over; the first inkling I had of it was the continuous cheering of troops on our right. Soon staff officers galloped up with the news that Lee was making terms of surrender. The firing ceased ;it was impossible to realize that the terrible army of Lee was no longer in existence ; the truth was stunning. As for myself, I felt a sadness, a feeling that the colored soldiers had not done enough, been sufficiently proved. In fact, we lay right across the only road Lee could take to get away. On both sides there are prolonged and ringing cheers ; especially on ours ; yet I heard the rebels yelling, for they are going home. The rebel bands have been playing the national airs of both sides." A circular has been received issued by the Trustees of the Hampton Institute created by Gen. Armstrong, asking for an endowment of one million dollars. Possibly some of Armstrong's former classmates here may feel moved to arrange some endowment of an Armstrong Foundation or Professorship there in memory of their ni>ble comrade. : Dealing With Laborers. During the discussions at the annual meeting of the Planters' Association, the following were among the observa tions made : Mr. H. P. Baldwin spoke on profit sharing, expressing a doubt as to its success. If there was a more intelligent class of labor on the plantations this course might be thought of, but with the present laborers, there would always be a suspicion on their part that they were not getting their just deserts. A good plan and one that has turned out most admirably at the Hawaiian �Vol. 57, No. 12.] THE FRIEND Commercial and other plantations was the letting out of land to different labor- ers for cultivation by the ton. Under this system the men to whom the land is let out keep the fields continually clear and turn cut the finest kind ■ f cane. Mr. Morrison : Our treatment of the plantation labor is probably a little harsh. Were we a bit more humane and considerate in our treatment of the laborers. The Japanese object to living several families in one house, and prefer a little house or room for a family. The Chinese, on the other hand, like to herd together. Mr. C. M. Cooke: It is my idea that the plantations should be made more attractive to the laborers, and that hospitals should be established where careful treatment could be given the sick. They are appreciative of any kindness done them, and it is something we should do. A fine hospital, well equipped, has just been established at Lihue Plantation, Kauai. The Government maintains hospitals on Maui and Hawaii. Honolulu has several hospitals. Wages of labor on plantations have lately advanced fully SO per cent. Today the average wage of all nationalities is not less than 8(1 cents per day, whilst on plantations it exceeds $1 per working " day." Profit-Sharing at Ewa and Waialua. The Hawaiian Star gives especial credit to Mr. J. B. Atherton for promoting the success of the profit-sharing system on the Ewa and Waialua plantations. Manager Ronton of Ewa says to be, as " Profit-sharing continues a the decided success past, it has been in comJapanese Chinese and with the panies Under this plan there are at pies ent employed at Ewa thirty eight profitsharing companies, aggregating five hundred and eleven men : and all of the fields, except two, are worked in this way. There is no friction to speak of, the men work better, are more contented, and the whole scheme forms, among the laborers, a sort of balance wheel of conservative elements whose interests are identical with those of the employer. " Some of the profit-sharing Americans, who arrived last year, have for various reasons returned to the United States. Those who have remained work harmoniously together and with the plantation, and look forward contentedly to the harvesting of their crop during the forthcoming year. A continuation of this same plan, or some modification, of it, is contemplated by the management, provided the present arrangement results satisfactorily." : Manager Goodale of Waialua says: "Ever since the first of the year, there has been an abundant supply of labor, and we have had no 'labor troubles' of any consequence. The lands as soon as planted, are being turned over to companies of men f r cultivation, under the same system as has been adopted at Ewa, Oahu and otherplantationson this Island. There is no question about the wisdom of following this system as far as possible. Ten contracts are now in force. A very large proportion of our laborers are Japanese. We have a few Hawaiian, and the number of Portuguese is increasing." This system < f profit sharing clearly promises to open a large field for the profitable occupation of American farmers in sugar culture in these Islands. " How Laborers Become Planters. The following is taken from Dr. Maxwell's Report on labor in Hawaii to the U. S. Department of Agriculture : Concerning the means by which free laborers have already become planters, and through which means free labor of all nationalities can continue to do so, an example is given in some detail, which sets forth the principle and serves as an illustration of other cases: The Hilo Sugar Company encouraged and entered into agreements with free laborers to grow cane on its own and adjoining lands. Such lands as could not be cultivated by the plantation with horse labor were let free of rent ; other lands are rented at from only a nominal price up to $8.00 per acre, as determined by the value of each specific lot. Where necessary, which is so in most cases of free laborers entering upon this system, the plantation makes advances of money to meet the living and other expenses of the small planters during the period that their crops are in growth. These allowances are refunded when the crop is harvested. The crop is purchased by the plantation according to a scale of prices which is based on the quality of the cane and the prices of sugar in New York, or in other cases according to con ditions, all of which are set forth in drawn agreements, approved and signed by the growers and manufacturers of the cane. Forms of these several kinds of agreement can be readily obtained, and have already been furnished to authorities requiring to see and use them. Relating to the example now under consideration, the writer was present in the office of the said plantation four weeks ago when the manager was re- 95 newing contracts, and making advances of money to the planters upon the grow ing crop. Some thirty of those planters were there. The appearance of thrift, respectability, and air of business responsibility of those men was nothing short of impressive when it was remembered that every one of them had arrived as contract men a few years- ago, and without a dollar to them. In the course of conversation the manager said, " Yes ! I paid $90,000 to those small planters last year, and their production is still increasing." He said further : " Oh, yes ! they all seem very content, and even proud of their position—and they may well be ! They not only live well, but some of them have balances of $1,000 to $2,000 to their names; whilst others make trips home to Japan in good style to see their friends. They all turn up again, though." As those men were leaving the manager's office, the writer noticed that most of them were riding their own horses or mules. Hawaii Adapted to White Labor. On this subject Dr. Maxwell writes: " Concerning the ability of white laborers to bear outdoor work in this climate, it has to be said that the Portuguese, and some smaller numbers of Germans and Anglo-Saxons, who have worked on plantations, have not only borne the work, but have rendered more, and a higher class of, labor, which is attested by the high rate of compensation they have received. This statement can be compared with the labor rolls of numerous plantations employing mixed nationalities. Also the more taxing indoor work of the iron foundries and machine shops of Honolulu is mainly done by white labor, chiefly imported from the mainland. At this time a complete sewerage system is being put in throughout the streets of Honolulu. The contractor is from San Francisco. This man brought some twenty white laborers from California to do the heaviest work in laying down the pipes When asked what price he was paying white labor, the contractor stated " $3.75 per day; and they are cheaper than those Chinamen that I engaged here, and pay only $1.40 per day." The white men, who were sitting at lunch, were next questioned, as to " how they bore the climate." They replied, "We can do any work here. Why, in comparison with Fresno (Cal.), where the boss had us before we came here, this is Arctic ! " Every day, on the streets of this city, white men are performing labor that is vastly more exhausting than the work on plantations, and arrivals of artisans from the Mainland are frequent." �96 THE FRIEND.

The Castle tlwel ling was erected in I Sit by Rev. E. W. Clark as a missionary home, but after wards enlarged by Mr. Castle. Ii has been the desire of Mr. Castle* children that the old home should continue in missionary service, as is now provided for. After some fifteen years of devoted and efficient service as Secular Agent of the Mission, that work having lost its importance, Mr. Castle engaged in busi ness pursuits, and in the course of forty years, acquired a large estate, mainly in plantations. The great appreciation of values since Mr. Castle's tleath, has placed his family in a position to con tribute bountifully to the public good and the establishment of the Lord's Kingdom.

Judging from a recent report of the registrar general of New Zealand, that fine martial race the Maoris, is going the way of all aborigines whose country has been colonized by the whites. They may not become absolutely extinct for a few more decades, but their doom is sealed. Among the causes officially assigned for the thinning of their numbers are the high infantile mortality resulting from improper food, exposure and the want of ordinary care, constitutions debilitated by past debauchery, the belief in native doctors and neglect of the sick and the adoption of European habits and costumes, leading to diseases of the respiratory A Maori If. A., Mr. Ngata, in organs. addressing a recent conference of his countrymen, said that drink was pauperizing them and sapping their vitality.—London Chronicle. The causes here assigned for the wasting of the Maoris, are the same that are believed to cause the continued wasting of the Hawaiian race. The latter have been much longer in pernicious contact with foreign commerce, but have also enjoyed far greater ameliorating influences. It now seems to be settled that the principal islands of the Samoan group are to pass under German control, England and the United States withdrawing from the very impracticable tripartite arrangement. The United Stales, however, will retain the small island of Tutuila with its excellent harDOT of PagopsgO, where a naval station is being crested.

The Hawaiian Treasury is suffering from plethora, with surplus of over two millions ; at the same time there is a scarcity of money in the market, owing to the large outlays in creating new sugar plantations. Hono lulu financiers are earnestly striving to find some way to get the Government money into circulation. The revenue has been unexpectedly large while the outlay has been restricted for lack of the needed appropriations. By order of President McKinley, the election of a new legislature was prevented, and no new appropriations can be made, although greatly needed both for schools and public works. The most feasible proposition seems to be that of releasing the $800,000 in the Postal Savings Bank by ceasing to pay interest thereon, which will induce the depositors to withdraw their funds and invest in the usual channels of business. Owing to increased imports, Customs The receipts have greatly increased general prosperity ml appreciation of values has also very in i-.-h increased the taxes. Hence th Urge surplus. It is matter of satisfaction that Mi. Alatau T. Atkinson is to be in charge of the census of the Hawaiian Islands. The excellent census taken by him in 1896 justifies his appointment. Mr. Atkinson returned a month ago from Washington, where he had gone to confer with the Head of the Census Bureau. He there made a determined and successful fight for taking count of the different races living here, as has been done before, and imperatively needs to be done, although not in accord with the United States census practice. - Thanksgiving Day in Honolulu. Hawaiian Sugar Crop. The entire sugar crop of the Hawaiian Islands for the year ending .Sep tember 30, 1899, was 282,807 tons, or 566,614,000 pounds.

Their rooms at the Park House while they staid in Boston, were a center where we were wont to gather. It was the feeling of such men as Mr. S. B.

A friend said In me one with whom in other days I had argued eainrsti) in favor of annexation: "Mi.

In returning again to the home land and to our work, the feeling of the delegation was perhaps aptly voiced by one of its members when he said.

His " Holiness," Pope Leo XIII. has assumed to declare that the nineteenth Century ends with the last day of the year 1899. He does this in the face of what is generally understood to be the conclusion of the learned that the century does not end untill the close of 1900. It has not been understood that the Pope claims authority to decide such a question or that it was a subject coming within the scope of his spiritual jurisdiction. Even those who acknowledge his spiritual supremacy, will probably feel at liberty to contradict his decision upon a question of chronology. It seems likely that the old gentlemen was anxious to see the twentieth century before he died, and was not going to take any chances by waiting another year. That the new century does not begin until 1901, however, is a proposition which goes very much against what ordinary people would call their common sense. It may be said to be an " academic " conclusion, which cannot possibly meet with popular acceptance, although the reasons for it must be ad mitted to be plausible. We have not space to discuss those reasons here. It is substantially a question of whether in counting the years we are using cardinal or ordinal numbers. Is this the year 1900, or is it only the nineteen-hundredth year ? The learned men say the latter, JANUARY, 1900. while most people are sure to hold the to consider to-day as belonging to the new century. Accordingly we propose to treat it in the popular view, not because the Pope says so, but because every body feels that when we begin to count the nineteen-hundreds, we are done with the old century. former, and A New Century Begun. Respectfully begging then the pardon of the learned academics, we go on like the Pope, to rejoice in the birth of another hundred years, Century the Twentieth. The nineteenth century, so long our boast and pride as the last and grandest of the ages, is now relegated to the Past, which we count so inferior. It is in its turn a " back number." The Twentieth Century is now to be our boast, and contains our hopes and expectations. Perhaps what it produces will disappoint and depress ; perhaps it will bring forth benefits to mankind still more outrivalling previous conception than did the blessings of the favored Nineteenth. The writer well remembers when there were no locomotives, no ocean steamers, no friction matches, no photographs, no ice machines, no canned goods, no telephones, no telegraph wires, no dynamos or electric motors, no anaesthetics, no aseptic surgery. Probably by 1970, the aged men will count over to their children a longer list of more wonderful inventions, which will cast our present luxuries of life far into the shade. We can make only the crudest guesses at what future science will do for the well being of mankind. But all these material improvements will work little good for mankind apart from moral advance and spiritual culture. Increased skill and wealth production may derange society and fill it with op pression and hatred. Only the sway of Christ and his love can make such things a blessing. What then shall the twentieth century bring forth of this highest and vital good for suffering mankind ? Shall men learn to love one another as brothers in Christ ? Shall they come to seek blessing and joy for each other as children of one father ? God alone knows what brighter day may be drawing near, or what darker days may intervene. The past course of God's Providence in the world, and the accelerating progress of his gospel among mankind, seem to justify an ardent hope that the complete triumph of our Lord's Kingdom on earth is not very far distant. Possibly this century may witness that triumph. But Number 1 it is not likely to arrive without violent struggles, and disastrous conflicts. Satan is not to be cast out peaceably. God only knows what is before the world in these coming years. May the youth who are coming forward to carry on the affairs of this twentieth century be endued with faith an d courage, and Divine strength, to give good account of themselves in the coming warfare. In that Hawaii is probably to bear some central and prominent part. May our coming young Christians better the work of the fathers ! Mrs. Mary E. Logan. The many friends of Mrs. Mary E. Logan will be pained to hear of her death, which occurred at Creston, Ohio, in the home of her sister. Mrs. Logan and her husband were the pioneer missionaries to Kuk, in the Caroline Islands. Since her husband's death on that island she has had two periods of valuable service there. On the last trip of the Morning Star she was found suffering from a cancer, and was brought to Honolulu on a special voyage on her account. She reached this port in July this year, and went lo Buffalo, N. V., to be under the surgeon's knife. For a time the success of the operation seemed assured ; but her strength failed, and now she has gone to her crown of faithfulness—one of the noblest women, and one of the best of missionaries.— The Pacific. Mrs. Logan was intimately known in Honolulu, and greatly beloved. Her adopted daughter Beulah is laboring as a missionary at Ruk, and has been a chief dependence there of Rev. Mr. Stimson as interpreter to the natives while he was learning the language. We are deeply interested to learn that Mrs. Logan's manly and capable son Arthur is likely to proceed to his parents' field of labor, having married a daughter of Rev. Mr. Price, of the Ruk mission, who is now in the East, raising means for the extension of Ihe work to the islands beyond. Bishop Willis is reported as saying that "on April last I clearly stated that my tenure of office will continue until the House of Bishops in America is ready to consecrate a bishop to succeed me. Dr. Potter's visit had nothing whatever to do with this question. It was made for the purpose obtaining direct informa- �2 THE FRIEND. A Great Student Fraternity. The college department this week and next is especially devoted to one of the most remarkable movements in the his- tory of education. It is only twentyYoung Men's two years since the college Christian Association came into being. In those twenty-two yeais more than three hundred men have been influenced by the movement to enter the ministry, and an army of lay-workers have been trained for places in the church. The American and Canadian Student Young Men's Christian Association is the largest student organization in the world. It unites six hundred societies in institutions of higher learning in the United States and Canada, with a combined membership of between thirty-three and thirty-four thousand young men. During the past year there were on an average every week 4210 men and women students in mission classes, while already more than fourteen hundred student volunteers have sailed for foreign lands. Not less than twelve thousand men were in voluntary Bible classes last year studying courses which demanded systematic and devotional daily study. Best of all, over thirty thousand men have been won to know Jesus Christ as their King, since the inception of the move ment, and fully three thousand of this number during the past year. The main purposes of the movement are : to lead students to become intelligent and loyal disciples of Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord ; to help students in the battle with the many and subtle temptations which beset them in modern college life; to build up strong Christian faith and symmetrical Christian character; to train students to do organized Christian work, to place upon students a burden of responsibility for the extension and upbuilding of the kingdom of Christ throughout the world, and to influence them to place their lives where they can best serve their generation. The movement has entered more than 260 colleges and universities, and 130 preparatory and fitting schools. It has deeply influeuced Normal School life, as is shown in a recent report to the National Teachers' Association. It also occupies an important place in more than fifty medical, dental and pharmaceutical colleges. Students in institutions of this class are the most neglected and the most fiercely tempted of all who are engaged in professional study; and moreover, as professional men they must wield an immense influence for good or for evil. The importance of Association work among them is therefore incalculably great. The Association has at last entered our National Naval and Military Academies, enrolling a majority of the students in its membership. It has been adapted to the needs of our Indian and colored schools, and already has a foothold in more than fifty of the latter. It is a sig niflcant fact that the organization has proved to be of exceptional utility in theological schools. Although the first Seminary Association was organized but two years ago, there are already over three thousand members of this branch in seminaries of eighteen different denominations. From this great body of students comes the joyful refutation of the claim so persistently made of late years that the Christian Church is declining. Among the most hopeful class of our population it is making rapid advance. In the years preceding this movement 90 per cent, of our college men were outside of the church; now more than 40 per cent, of students in the institutions where these associations exist are members of evangelical churches. In 1895 the Student Association of North America became a part of the World Student Christian Federation, which unites all Christian student move ments in the world, and includes in its membership more than fifty-five thousand students and professors. Not an end in itself, the possibilities of an organization which unites the Christian forces of the student world are almost boundless. No religious movement of our time has a stronger or better-founded claim upon the interest and the prayers of the church at large.—N. Y. Evan- gelist. Buddhism vs. Christianity. Dr. M. L. Gordon of Japan, commenting in The Congregationalist upon a paper read at the Boston Council by Dr. C. R. Brown, writes thus : " In a fairly wide reading of discussions of this subject I know of no finer and stronger statement of the difference between Christianity and Buddhism than this : " Buddhist salvation means the lopping off of human interest and desire until peace is found in a sort of eternal swoon, where definite personality is either surrendered or so overborne by the ocean of life in which it floats as to be no longer capable of self knowledge or selfdirection. Nowhere outside our own faith do we find the clear offer of a salvation which insuies a moral personality enriched and ennobled according to the measure of the stature of full manhood of Christ Jesus." [January, 1900. aground declined the aid of the pilot who, however, at once summoned the tug. A captain is fool hardy who ventures to attempt the entrance of this harbor without a pilot. Bubonic Plague in Honolulu. The dread enemy Bubonic Plague has been in our city, but has disappeared. On the night of December 12th a clerk in a leading wholesale Chinese store died of what is believed to be that disease. Another case of a Gilbert Islander occurred the next day. These two cases were considered undoubted. Three other cases of Chinamen on the 13th proved rapidly fatal, but were finally pronounced not bubonic. No other cases than the first two have been found. The medical fraternity are nearly unanimous as to the nature of the disease, although a few express doubt. Stringent measures were at once taken by the Board of Health, headed by Mr. Cooper. Chinatown where the disease appeared was rapidly quarantined for a week under a strong military guard. The crowded slums of that district were carefully searched, cleansed, and disinfected as far as possible, although the condition of many cesspools was impossible at once to remedy. The Council of State instantly appropriated $2.'),000 to meet the emergency. A strict quarantine was enforced upon all coasters going to the other islands. That continued also one week. Great alarm naturally pervaded the community, although nothing like panic occurred. The occupants of the quarantined district submitted quietly to the very great inconvenience, although they were more than 5,000 in number, and many of them had to be supplied with food at public expense. The cholera experience of 1895, and the rapid stamping out of that pestilence by stringent measures, led all to desire equal thoroughness at this time. No clue has been found to the way in which the victims became infected. It is conjectured to have been by means of Chinese freight from Hongkong. There has been a tendency to impute blame to theBoard of Health for not having enforced the statutes enabling them to compel owners of insanitary and overcrowded tenanents to put their premises in proper condition. It would seem that owners collecting exorbitant rents have permitted their premises to fill up with vile shacks and incredibly foul cesspools. It appears probable that due pressure will now be put upon these covetous and selfish owners, whose names we do not know, but whose actions justify our ad- The steamship Algoa in this port last week, is said to be the largest merchant ship ever in the Pacific.

Expert Commission on Chinatown. Mr. Edwards, Sanitary Engineer. Mr. C. B. Ripley, Architect. Mr. Geo. R. Carter, Business man. Such is the membership of the Special Commission to investigate conditions in Chinatown and recommend changes in ithe interest of sanitation of that district. They are to report to the B'>ard of Health. The principal alterations believed to be demanded without delay are thus described: Extend Chaplain lane, which now ends at Nuuanu street, be ginning at Fort, on through to the stream ; carry Kekaulike street on to Beretania ; carry Maunakea on to Kukui; carry Smith (Konia) on to Kukui; cut a new street through the Kamaukapili church block from Nuuanu street to the stream. It is calculated that the expense of making the street changes will be very heavy. Many of the changes relating to buildings, drainage, etc., must be made at the expense of property holders. Bubonic Plague Re-appears. On the 2Gth, President Cooper of the Board of Health officially notified the foreign Consuls that "since my report of Dec 22d, three cas-;s of death fr.m bubonic plague have been reported to the Two Chinamen Board of Health." died on the 24th and 25th. On the 23d Ethel Johnson died, and was proved to be a case of plague although she had been pronounced ill from other causes. On the 27th, two more deaths occurred in Chinatown, and that district was again quarantined during the night. The previous quarantine of Inter island vessels was renewed on the 26th, and Honolulu was officially declared an infected port. This is a grievous condition of things. It is calling forth every energy of the Board of Health. The disease is still sporadic, but liable to become epidemic. It is probable that it will be necessary to revive the twice-aday inspection of all rooms and persons in the city which so effectually subdued the cholera here in 1895. Tne Chinese are persistently concealing their sick. This appears to be from fear of cremation which has been the fate of every plague-corpse here so far. It should be the trustful and urgent supplication of Christian people that our officials and citizens may be guided and Divinely sustained in wise and efficient action to remove this pestilence. 3 Vol. 58, No. I.] Your commissioners find a terribly 200 feet frontage of stores on the corner congested district in a wretched sanitary of Maunakea and Pauahi streets. Most condition. We believe a detailed repon of the condition found, wilh the names of the owners of the property, would be a revelation to the community. We are not surprised at the indigna tion expressed when a citizen finds he is living in a community where fresh meat is exposed for sale in shops within a few feet of which are cesspools reeking with filth and vermin, from which come clouds of flies; where restaurants have cesspools with no other covering than the kitchen floors, into which cockroachts crowd by the thousands after a night of foraging over tables and dishes; where poultry is kept huddled for weeks in small coops one above the other; where poi is manufactured, and sold in shops sour with fermented slime; where kitchens are built next to foul-smelling privies, and so arranged that a ray of light never enters them; where sinks are maintained with long, leaking drains; where cesspools and privy vaults are crowded together or combined and left unopened year after year to saturate the ground with filth and germs; where cesspools are often without ventilation of any kind excepting the crevices of the floors above or perhaps a rickety wooden vtnt ending within two feet of a sleeping-apartment window, which is overcrowded at night with occupants, and where the ground is often without drainage, so that the seepage from the surroundings accumulates and becomes stagnant. All this is now certain to be remedied, but with some unavoidable delay. Meantime we are glad to note that the daily inspection of every house and person in the city has been inaugurated in the same manner as so quickly stamped out the cholera in 1895. Only this measure can prevent the concealment of cases of the Plague which will multiply infection. This measure gives the brightest hope of anything that has yet been done to eradicate the pes- tilence. Fighting Pestilence with Fire. Three new cases of Plague appeared on the 31st ult., and two more on New Years' day. All were fatal, as have been the previous cases. As a result, the Board of Health have adopted a better and more severe policy than that of quarantining the whole of the chief Report of Special Sanitary Committee. infected district Chinatown, and are destroying by fire the filthy tenements where the disease has appeared.

The occupants, Chinese, Japanese and Hawaiians were taken to a new Quarantine station at Kakaako, where they will be supplied and fed. Probably damages will be claimed by the owners of the buildings. Probably none will be paid. The public health would in any case have required the disuse of the buildings with total loss of income from them. Moreover, the property will be worth much more after being burned off, than it was before. It is in contemplation to destroy by fire the entire block bounded by Beretania, Nuuanu, Pauahi and Smith streets. This covers about two acres, and contains over two thousand people, a most criminal degree of crowding. Most of the buildings are unspeakably filthy. It will be a serious problem to care for these 2000 people in quarantine. The Board of Health are grappling with great difficulties. Happily they have been able to call to their aid the great organizing and directing ability of Lorrin A. Thurston, whose prssence on the Board gives assurance of efficient dealing with the enemy. The passengers by the Australia on the 26th. left in a cheerless way. As precautions against carrying infection from plague, no extra baggage was allowed. No leis or flower-wreaths were allowed on board. No visitors were allowed on the ship. A rigid quarantine will no doubt be imposed on the steamer and passengers after reaching San Francisco. These precautions may shorten it. Tha Boer War. The year closes with the reek and thunder ofbattle raging fiercely in South Africa, and the war spirit burning high and strong among Englishmen with the check given to their forces by the doughty Boers all along the advancing British lines. The world looks on in wonderThis is a sad and portentous opening of the new century. We are not prepared to say that this war had sufficient cause, nor yet that it could have been avoided. God grant that good may come out of this apparent evil, and the wrecking hurricane of war be succeeded by better days than before. Meantime on both sides, as in the American Civil war, the lofty virtues of patriotism and courage are being grandly exhibited. There are some elements in the struggle which render the result doubtful and the future mysterious. We must leave it to the Ruler of the nations, believing that He will overrule all for the forwarding of His Son's kingdom of justice and peace. �4 [January, 1900. THE FRIEND. Latest News from Pitcairn Island. The first news received for a longtime from Pitcairn Island—a lonely home in the South Pacific Ocean of the descendants of the mutineers of the famous ship Bounty—was brought to this port yesterday by Capt. Collins, of the British ship Centurion, which has just arrived from Shanghai via Iquique. It is seldom that the island is sighted, as it is but two and a quarter miles long, a mile and a half wide, and lies out of the beaten track of ships. There are at present 130 per sons on the island, nearly all of whom are women, the men and boys as a rule having sought work on passing vesse Is or whalers. Those left in the male line are principally old men. Nearly all are descendants from the mutineers of the ship Bounty, who landed there in 1789. According to Captain Collins, nobody on the island indulges in intoxicants, tobacco or profanity. There are no cattle on this lonely spot, but goats are plentiful. The main paths are attractively bordered with orange groves and palmtrees. Captain Collins states that two boat loads of the natives boarded his vessel in August while on her way here, a sharp lookout being always kept for sailing craft which pass there. The boats were loaded down with bananas, oranges, fruit and chickens for the officers and crew ol the Centurion. Captain Collins gave them what he could spare from his vessel. What they especially desired was a harmonium, which he could not give them. The Pitcairners formerly belonged to the Anglican Church, but recently have become converts to the belief of the Seventh Day Adventists, through the efforts of a missionary sent there from San Francisco. P. C. Advertiser. — Boys' Industrial Club House. The Boys' Brigade have secured a site for a two-story club house near the depot through the kindness of the Railway Company. Three dozen sets of carpenters' tools have been ordered, and instructors provided. The best boys of the four clubs in Honolulu will be selected for instruction. The military basis of the organization furnishes machinery for maintaining discipline. These are street boys being redeemed from loafing and gambling. Several leading young men are managing the finances. Mr. Armstrong Smith takes a prominent part in the work of the en tertainment. There will be competitive athletic sports and a monthly battalion drill. All this is first class humanitarian work. Prohibition Petition to Congress. Petitions addressed to Congress are now in circulation among the Hawaiian churches, asking for insertion into the organic law of the Territory of Hawaii, of provisions prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating drinks, gambling, and the importation and sale of opium. It is anticipated that a very large number of names of native Hawaiians will be appended to these petia tions which are intended as demonstration of native sentiment. The following committee is in charge of the movement: Rev. O. H. Gulick, Rev. H. H. Parker, Rev. E. S. Timo teo, J. Leadingham, T. Richards, H. E. Coleman and Rev. Geo. L. Pearson. Of course no one can expect that Congress will attempt to prohibit intoxicants in Hawaii; but at least the moral force of the demonstration made will be of value. Death of Hon. David H. Hitchcock. After several years of declining health, at the age of 68, this old friend has passed on to the other shore. Judge Hitchcock's early home was at Molokai, where his father was one of the most successful of the early missionaries. For more than forty years, Mr. Hitchcock has resided at Hilo, where his two brothers subsequently joined him, the three making a prominent element in Hilo society. Mr. Hitchcock was an active and genial man, popular alike with natives and foreigners. He had occupied many public positions of honor and trust. Two sons and two daughters survive their parents, as well as many grandchildren. Boer Cruelty to Natives. The Congregationalist makes the statement given below. Of course such facts are not decisive of the merits of the case between the Boers and the British, but may have much weight. The tenor of the letters in British religious journals from Congregational, Methodist and Presbyterian clergymen in south Africa is decidedly adverse to the Boers. Rev. Dr. Stewart, moderator of the Free Church of Scotland Assem bly, and for thirty odd years a missionary in Central and South Africa, says in the British Weekly that " the issue is much wider. It is not a question of the franchise in the Transvaal—that is a fragment of the question ; nor merely of monopolies, oppressive as they are—that is also a fragment. It is a question of the very fundamental principles on which a government shall be carried on, and whether any share at all shall be given to those who live under that government, of political and municipal life, and whether equity and justice can be expected. It is a question of the independ ance of the judges of the land against executive interference, as took place three years ago. It is not so much, or " mainly, a question of race supremacy as the encounter of entirely different policies —affecting the liberty of both black and white, and which have been, and will continue to be, in opposition till one of them is entirely driven from the field." Our Duty to the Philippines. PRESIDENT J. H. BARROWS. BY students of All history know that liberty cannot be preserved without order. Law and order are impossible without intelligence, obedience, selfcontrol and public spirit. The sixty tribes of the Eastern archipelago never gained these things from the centuries of Spanish dominion. Not only are they not a nation, but they can never become a nation except through such political and moral agencies as ennobled and unified the thirteen colonies. They are now a congeries of hostile communities in various grades of development, demoralized not only by barbarism, but by long years of selfish tyranny practiced by a government essentially hostile to the fundamental ideas of free and self-governing nations. To apply without restriction all of briliant generalities to peoJefferson's ples of this sort is the height of unpractical doctrinairism and the depth of political foolishness. Our fathers never thought of practicing any such perversion of their own doctrines. The sturdy common sense of the American people (let us be grateful for it) has considered the complicated Philippine problem in the light of the facts. Regretting the neccessity of putting down the misguided insurrectionists, as they regretted the necessity of putting down rebellion in Virginia or anarchy in Chicago, the people are resolute in their purpose to establish peace and freedom under the flag. They intend that that flag shall mean civil and religious liberty, order, good government, enlightenment, social and industrial progress, and such a measure of ultimate self-government as the Malay peoples may be trained to exercise with wisdom and success. The steamer Pathfinder, of the U. S. Geodetic and Coast Survey, is making Honolulu her present head-quarters. She is now engaged in surveying the harbor of Kahului and its vicinity. She will then survey Hilo harbor. The next summer she will spend at the Aleutian Islands. She is a new 14-knot ship of 875 tons. It is proposed to mount for display abroad a good selection of the richly variegated fish, mostly of small size, which abound in Hawaiian waters, and are commonly seen at our fish-market. Their coloring is as marvellous as that of tiger-lilies or Argus cowries. �THE FRIEND. 5 Vol. 58, No. 1. ] Humane Officer Mrs. Craft. The Khalifa and Aguinaldo. There was a near coincidence in time between American victories in the Spanish war and the grand British victory at Omdurman. Now, some sixteen months later, come simultaneonsly the announcements that the Mahdi Khalifa Abdulla has been slain with his Emirs, and that the insurgent Aguinaldo is entirely broken up with his army. Now the way is open for free and beneficent govern ment both in the Soudan and the Philippines. In each the forces of anarchy and violence are destroyed. In each a beneficent and wise Power is establishing justice, order and prosperity. Wants to Restore Monarchy. A Mr. Edgar Caypless, of whom we know nothing, has gone from here to Washington as an advocate of the Royalist party. He denounces President Dole as follows : "As President of the Cabinet' of the Hawaiian Government, he sanctioned what was promulgated as the new oath " to be subscribed by American voters on the islands which required, in its operation, that they should renounce their allegiance to the United States ; and fnrther, by this oath (without the asking of which he would disfranchise us all) we must barter away that God given right which man loves next to his mother, the right of thinking for one's self; for says this death-to-manhood decreeing oath ;" I do solemnly swear that I will not either directly or indirectly encourage or assist in the restoration or establishment of a monarchical form of government*in the Hawaiian Islands." In other words one, it was intended by this subtle oath, must swear to never uplift his hand or raise his voice against the outrages upon the aboriginal Hawaiians, which must, sooner or later, be righted, and that by the American people. In establishing a republic here in place of monarchy, it was obviously indispenssble that all who participated in the government must be pledged not to go back and support monarchy. But what seems curious herein is Mr. Caypless' insistence that the American people must right the alleged outrage upon the Hawaiians, apparently by restoring the monarchy! This is funny. Mr. Bob Wilcox and Mr. Caypless make an amusing team of Royalist agents at Washington. ' " and channels of this group.—Reception on the Hanccck by Col.

And we were glad that at least in one mind the false impressions given by the Hawaiian exhibit at Omaha could be eradicated, and that in place of the memory of hula girls there might be the rememberance of courteous, dignified and refined gentlemen, whose lives were given to better things. THE RESOLUTIONS WERE FOLLOWING PASSED BY THE BOARD AT ITS LAST MEETING. Whereas we are informed that the condition of the present Morning Star is such that the American Board is seriously considering the question of building a new vessel to take the place of the present one, and, in view of the call for an advance movement, a vessel capable of doing much more work; and whereas Rev. F. M. Price of the Ruk Mission, is at present, with the approval of the American Board, earnestly calling the atten tion of Christians in the United States and these islands to the duty of an advance movement with reference to giving the gospel to every inhabited island in Micronesia without further delay, and whereas the inhabitants of the western portion of the Caroline Islands have been waiting for a pure Gospel for nearly fifty years since Protestant missionaries first landed on Ponape and Kusaie, but should be allowed to wait no longer, and in view of the very recei t Macedonian cry from our brother Joe Castino on Guam "to come over and help him," to say nothing of the call of Mr. Ko of het same island to this Board, therefore; Resolved, that in the judgement of this Board, it is high time that Christians in these Hawaiian Islands arouse themselves to respond to these calls for aid in giving the Gospel to all the inhabitants of Micronesia; and that it is our duty and privilege to cooperate cordialiy, now, with the American Board in any effort which they may make to go forward in this matter. Second: Resolved, that we do therefore assent to the proposal made by Mr. Price to Sec. Emerson, that the Hawaiian Board recommend to their patrons the taking of two hundred shares in the advauce movement, such shares being pledges for ten dollars each, to be paid annually to the American Board through the Hawaiian Board, for the next five years toward the support of Missionaries of the American Board and their work in the Ladrone and Western Caroline Islands; in case will be taken up without dc- First. Janury, 1900 THE FRIEND. 8 lay, and this with the understanding that such shares shall be over and above the usual contributions to our Board. Third : Resolved, that in case the American Board should decide to build such a vessel as is contemplated, and in view of the question which has been put to us by Dr. Smith in his letter of Nov. 7, 1899, as to what we think would be done in the Hawaiian Islands toward a new vessel, on the supposition that the American Board should decide in favor of a steam craft with a speed of ten knots an hour, to do all the work except what the Hiram Bingham is doing; we recommend to our patrons, including the Sabbath schools in these islands that they contribute $2500 toward building such a new Morning Star, that is, one capable of extending her annual voyages to Guam and Yap, it being understood that on this latter island two native Hawaiian missionaries and their wives may be placed, to co-operate with the proposed American mission there, as has been done and is, in the Gilbert Islands; and we do the more gladly and earnestly make this reccommendation in view of the fact that so large a majority of the patrons of this Board present at the foreign mission-rally of June 11, 1899, in response to our inquiry, did, by their mode of making their contributions on that occasion, signify to us that they were cordially in favor of an onward movement to Mindanao, and in view also of the intelligence which comes to us in Mr. Price's letter of Nov. 20 that, so far as missionary comity or amenity is concerned, we need not hesitate to enter Mindanao as soon as the door shall be opened, as the Presbyterian Board—who have already entered Luzon —have bidden us God-speed in work for the southern islands of the Philippine group. In behalf of the Committee, Hiram Bingham, Chairman. Sachs' New Building. Projected New Hotel. A company is being organized with a capital of $250,000, to build a six-story hotel with 200 bedrooms. It is to be on Kapiolani street, between Beritania and Young streets, and facing the beautiful Thomas Square. This is one of the prettiest residence sections of the city, about one mile from the post-office, and in the thick of the tram-car lines. Elevators, broad verandahs, and spacious sixth story dining rooms, are features of the establishment; also a tropical garden court in the interior of the building. The recent rapid growth of the city and its commerce justifies this enterprise. Hackfeld Building. The old firm of Hackfeld & Co. have begun the erection of a splendid building, which occupies their entire 208 feet of frontage on Fort street, extending back 112 feet on Fort and 101 on Halekauwila street. The building is of three stories, 60 feet in height to the roof, and 90 feet to the top of the dome. The material will be the blue Oahu lava. The front view has been published of a three-story hotel, over 200 feet long, of elegant style, which Mr. Desky proposes to erect on the upper end of Pacific Heights. It will be a most conspicuous object at the height of 750 feet, and only two miles from the post office. It will be reached by rapid motor cars. It ought to compete strongly with the Waialua and Waikiki resorts, as it has a cool mountain climate and a glorious land and ocean prospect. The new sewers are laid throughout all the present streets of Chinatown, but cannot be used until the sewage works at Kakaako shall be completed, several months hence. Ordinances are needed to forbid crowding, not only inside of Chinatown, but on its outskirts in the extensive new barracks on River and Kukui streets. N. S. Sachs is about lo erect a handsome three-story building on the north England has shipped 8000 mules from corner of Fort and Beritania streets.

' ' - --' * ' : tionist. — To the first two questions we suppose that no Congregationalist minister could reply negatively and remain in the denomination. The facts named are central to true Christian belief. The third point of belief, we regret to say, is held by many of our ministers and some of out seminaries is a very emasculated form. The doctrine of an expiatory atoning sacrifice on Calvary is being powerfully maintained by the ablest theologians of our denomination in Kngland, and promises to become dominant again in our churches in America, as the New Testament most abundantly and explicitly teaches. As Dr. Forsyth of Cambridge, Kngland, well says: "We are only just escaping from the modern and sentimental idea of love which found no difficulty placed by the holy law of God's nature in his way of forgiveness. It is an immoral love which has no moral hesitation about mercy." The Case of Dr. McGiffert. The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States last year denounced as heretical certain positions taken by Rev. A. C. McGiffert D. D., a Professor in Union Theological Seminary, and directed his Presbytery in New York City to proceed against him. The findings of the Presbytery were as follows: I. It finds that the teachings of the book entitled "A History of Christianity in the Apostolic Age," by the Rev. A. C. McGiffert, are in certain points, according to the judgment of the majority of this Presbytery, erroneous and seriously out of harmony with the facts of Holy Scripture as they have heen interpreted by the Presbyterian Church. These teachings, according to their author, have already been misunderstood; but this very liability to misunderstanding is one of the elements �2 which make the Presbytery disapprove of them, as likely to lead to yet more serious error. The following examples are cited as statements especially open to such construction, viz.: (1) The apparent acceptance of the theory that the Sacrament of the Holy Communion was not instituted by Christ himself upon the occasion of the last supper as a memorial feast (Page 69, Footnote). VI) The discrediting of the view so long accepted by the Church that the Third Gospel and the Book of the Acts were written by St. Luke, the compan ion of St. Paul (pp. 237, 433), and the suggestion that they were more probably the work of some writer living in the latter part of the first century, a generation after the death of the THE FRIEND.

This gentleman with Mrs. Brown arrived on the 17th ult. from Worcester, Mass., where he had labored for some years in connection with the Old South Church of that city. Mr. Brown has entered at once upon his duties as an Assistant fo the Pastor of the Central Union Church in Honolulu. He will have especial charge of the Sabbath School. Another Assistant to the Pastor is Miss Florence Yarrow who entered upon her new duties about two months since. With the labors of these two very able assistants, the work of the C. U. Church may be expected to go forward with highly organized activity. One of the good results of the Plague is to be the removal from the business centre of a line of unsightly and insanitary old buildings occupying the main part of the block from Bethel to Fort street. An elegant three story block will take their place. �Earlier Fires to Destroy the Plague. THE I'KIENrY brick engine house. Some sixty acres of land which had been crowded with wooden tenements containing nearly r<ooo people was left a smoking desolation. The ground was left entirely open for nearly half a mile in length from Ku kui Street to the waterfront, and Nuuanu Street to the River, saving only the brick buildings in the southeast part of the district. The intention was to burn at that time only a largs block of old wooden tenements east of Kaumakapili Church. These were deeply infected with the plague, many cases having occurred there. The fire was started at an early hour not far from the church, and for an hour was held under good control by Stream I from four engines. The wind, which had been light, then rose and veered from side to side. The eastern of the two steeples of the chinch caught fire at a height beyond the reach of the engines This was soon followed by the destiuction of the whole building. From that time on, it was impossible to arrest the spread of the flames. The conflagration rapidly extended to the River, and down to the waterfront, as well as up to Ktiktii Street. The Iron Works were saved with great difficulty by the strenuous exertions of the r>0() employees, and the imlispen sable aid of the lite engines of the tugs Iroquois and Lieu, which threw enormous streams of water upon the advanc ing flames. One of" the city engines had been burned by the heat of the flames preventing its removal. Had the Iron Works gone, the conflagration wonld have extended over to Nuuanu St. and to the center of the business section The shipping at the wharves hail been removed out into the stream away from the flying storm f burning cinders. Prior to the complete destruction of Chinatown, when the flames got beyond control, the Fire Depaitment had done much hard work in burning out limited sections and single buildings where the Plague has appeared. In two successive fires all buildings were destroyed from Chaplain street on Nuuanu to the brick McLain building, and back to the premises occupied by the Mills Institute of Mr. F. W. Damon, which was in a highly critical position. Nearly the whole of a block was dc strnyed lying between King and Merchant, Alakea and Richards streets. Buildings were also burned on lower Nuuanu, above and below Marin street, also on Kekaulike near the Water front, A row of houses was burned on Kukui lane, back of the old Commercial Saloon. Detached buildings were burned on upper and lower Lihha streets. During the week ending on the 20th, there were extensive fires in Chinatown on successive days. The first was the block of two acres south of Kaumakapili Church. Another was the similar block west of the church. The third w.is half of a similar block next below the first one, the remaining half being occupied by good brick buildings on Hotel street. Such buildings were exempted from fire, as being capable of disinfected with removal of the floors. In all of these canflagrations, the Fire Department was admirably handled, and kept the flames under complete control by means of copious streams of water skilfully applied. All the occupants of the premises burned had previously been rem ived to extensive quarantine buildings newly erected on A Great and Sore Distress. the sea shore towards Kalihi. The goods removed were stored in various warehouses for fumigation. A large By the unexpected conflagration of quantity filled the great basement of nearly 4,A00 persons were Chinatown, Kaumakapili Church, where they were driven hastily into the street from their all destroyed by the conflagration of the 20th.

Two brick blocks on the southern be provided with improvised quarters as border of the district were burned, also a comfortable as circumstances would , 3 Vol. 58, No. i] permit. They must be fed, and in many cases, clothed. To a great extent, these crowds were in a state of panic, as well as of anger at the whites who, as they believed, had deliberately burned them out. In their fright they had saved little of their belongings from the flames which so rapidly swept down upon them. Among them were many violent men who urged their fellows to attack the armed guards who were controlling their movements. The situation was most critical and dangerous, as well as moving to sympathy and compassion. Wives were often separated from husbands and children from parents, and wailing in distress. Large ly they were poverty-stiicken and squalid in appearance, chiefly Asiatics. Most happily there were no losses ot life, and scarcely an injury to person. The citizens of Honolulu rose at once fitly to the situation with rapid and efficient organization. Several hundred citizens were at once armed with improvised clubs such as pick-handles, to assist the military and police. Korming in lines along the streets, the frightened crowds were driven between the brandished clubs, but without a blow ■truck, to the large Kawaiahao church yard, a distance of three fifths of a mile. The weaker women and children were carried on drays. The men were loaded down with their effects. The women and children filled the great church, crowded in every part. The men filled the yard, where was fortunately a copious supply of water. Pood was supplied as rapidly as possible. During the afternoon and evening, large bodies of Japanese were drafted off to quarters at the Drill shed; Hawaiians were taken to the late (jueen Dowager's premises, and several hundred others to Kakaako and South street detention camps. The number at the church was thus reduced to about 2,500. These were made as comfortable as practicable for the night, there being the usual dry Honolulu weather. All of the bright Sunday the work of relief went on. The women of Honolulu organized to prepare clothing for the destitute women and children for whom the sewing-machines buzzed all day throughout the city, instead of Church or Sunday school. Great barracks were constructed at the Drill shed to accommodate 1200 people. Fresh forces of carpenters were put on at the Kalihi (Quarantine camp to supply accommodation for ftOOO people. 2ftoo were already there from Chinatown, but one thousand of those were soon set at The army commander at liberty. Waikiki send up a detachment of his force to stand guard around the Church and Drill-shed. This help was much needed. He has previously kept his men strictly from communication with the town. On Friday the 26th, the Kawaiahao �THE FRIEND. 4 Church was entirely relieved of its undesirable occupation. A thot sugh cleansing and disinfection was given to the building, and as fat- as possible, the yard was restored to good condition. The great Detention camp at Kalihi beach contained 5000 occupants, comfortably housed in strict quarantine, fed and clothed by the Government. 1,200 Japanese remained at the Drill shed barracks. Knough more are quarantin ed at other points to bring the whole number of the imprisoned population to over 7000. Most happily, there has been a material abatement of the pestilence. During the week succeding the fire the mortality from Plague was reduced to five, against 15 and 9 respectively, during the two weeks preceeding. Of these five, only one was from a deten tion camp, that at Kalihi. Kaumakapili Church. This fine church with its twin steeples has for thirteen years been the most prominent edifice in any view of the city from the westward. It was dedicated in 1888, when the late Dr. Lowelj Smith, the first pastor, deliverel an historical address. Dr. Smith's only surviving child, Mrs. B. F. Dillingham now abroad, has been closely identified with the church in zealous and affectionate labors, and will be deeply moved by the news of the disaster which has befallen the edifice. The original church was a low, spacious and homely adobe structure built in 1837 with a steep roof and wide verandahs. The new building was on the same spot. It took many years to gather, very largely from foreigners, the $45,000 expended in its completion. One its luxurious furnishings was a chime of eight bells. Another was a noble organ by Bevington and Sons of London, which cost $4,500, and was one of the best in this city. The church and congregation have been for several years ministered to by the Rev. K. S. Timoteo, who was lately a delegate to the Boston Conference. The loss of their building, though only temporary we trust, will be a serious detriment to their important church work, and they will greatly need aid and encouragement. We suppose that it will be the duty of the Government to restore the building, as they indirectiy caused its destruction. The walls and towers are standing complete, in apparently unimpaired solidity, which will greatly reduce the the cost of restoration. In testimony of the value of this and other Protestant churches in holding the native population at a higher level of character, we may recur to the fact these there were 637 Hawaiians, 321? Chinese and 101 Japanese. For their accommodation extensive barracks have been created in the vicinity of Queen and South stieets.

According to the best corrected data attainable, the total number of deaths from Bubonic Plague in this city to the end of January has been 47. These deaths have been distributed as follows during seven successive weeks, beginning with December 1 2, and ending January 31: 2, 3, 7, 6, 15, 9, 5. During the last four days only one death occurred, on the 28th. There are 4 convales cent cases, one entirely cured. There is another case still hanging doubtful. The deaths have been from the following nationalities: Chinese, 24; Hawaiians, 14; Japanese, 6; Whites, 2; Gilbertese, I. No cases have occurred among the 5460 Portu guese. The percentage of deaths has been as follows; among Chinese, .00124; Hawaiians, .00109; Japanese, .00082; Whites, .000266. It thus appears that the relative mortality among the Chinese has been over twice that among Hawaiians, nearly thrice that among Japanese, and nearly ten times that among Whites. The percent-ge of deaths among the whole population of Honolulu has been .00106, or a little over one in one thousand. During the cholera visitation in 1895, nine-tenths of the sufferers were Hawaiians. Now the Chinese have one-half of the cases. Are they more susceptible to the disease? Or do their habits more expose them to infection? A Census of Honolulu. The district inspectors have recorded all the inhabitants of their districts. Returns to headquarters are still in com plete, but indicate that the population of the city is nearly 45,000. The population by nationalities is as follows: 12,820 Hawaiians Chinese 10,741 Japanese 7,298 Portuguese 5,466 Other Foreigners 7,927 44,252 Total That over one-sixth of the whole po pulation of the city are now under guard in the various detention camps, is a portentous fact, which shows the magnitude and vigor of the operations of the Board of Health and of the white community in combating the pestilence. Survey Ship Nero Arrives. Present hopes for an, early laying of Pacific Cable are encouraged not only by reported action in Congress, but by a the arrival at this port of the armed survey-ship Nero. She is 80 days fr m Guam, whence she has followed a zigzag course hither, surveying the ocean bottom for a cable. She has been for three months without news from the outside world. Her officers asked who won the Yacht Race? They were surprised to hear of the events of the Boer war. This is very different from being in cable connection with the world. It makes one recall the the old Cape Horn mails of sixty years ago. The Nero reports havihg found and surveyed a region of depression in the ocean bed between Guam and Luzon, which is much deeper than has hitherto been discovered elsewhere. The ex treme depth is 5,2 6 fathoms, or 31,536 feet. Proposed Harbor Improvements. Arrangements are nearly concluded, for building a wharf 400 feet long on the Fast side of the harbor channel, to the seaward of all present structures. It would be 120 feet wide, and entirely disconnected with the adjacent land, in order that freight from foreign ships may be discharged there without danger of infection from the shore, and that our quarantined coasting stesmers may safely take it aboard for the other islands. The reverse process may also be employed for shipping sugar. The subject is being mooted of utilizing for shipping more or less space of the present low ground along the River, or mouth of the Nuuanu stream. There are between thirty and forty acres of such land between the harbor and Kukui street, the only occupied part of which is now the grounds of the St. Louis College. This is nearly one half the area of the present harbor, It is now too low for proper sanitation or sewerage. It could probably be dredged out easily to a depth of 25 feet below mean tide. The material removed would furnish convenient filling for low grounds in the vicinity. Access for ship ping would be through drawbridges at King and Beretania streets. The project is a novel one, but wears a hopeful aspect. Mr. Dooley on Aguinaldo. " Up gets this little monkey of an Aguenaldoo an'says he: 'Not for us,' he says.

This page is devoted to theinterests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Kditor, appointed by the Hoard, is responsible for its contents. Rev. O. P. Emerson, - Editor. Kaumakapili Church Building. Smith, the first pastor of the church, was taken down in April 1881. This old adobe building was the scene of many a good work. It was erected in 1839, was 125 ft. long and 60 ft. wide and had at first a thatched roof. That large audience room with its spacious veranda, was often filled to overflowing with congregations num bering from 2000 to 2500. The great revival continued about three years. During the standing of the old church Rev. L. Smith was minister for thirty years, A. O. Forbes for three years, G. VV. Pilipo for two years and M. Kuaea for seven years. Mr. Kuaeu's ministry covered the period of the tearing down of the old structure and the laying of the corner stone and the beginning of the new building till his death in May, 1884. Rev. John Waiamau was installed August 11, 1894, and it was during his ministry that the new structure was completed. It is said that when plans were being formed for the erection of the new building, some were in favor of a cruciform structure with but one floor. Notably this was the desire of Dr. Hyde, who was one of the committee. In this he was opposed by King Kalakaua, who desired a lofty, twostory structure. It was Kalakaua who also advised two steeples, remarking that a man with only one eye, one ear, one arm, one leg, would be a freak. When a stone structure was proposed Rev. Mr. Forbes argued in favor of brick, saying that it would be well in such a locality to have walls of a fire tempered material. Rev. E. S. Timoteo is the present minister of the church. He was installed April 25, 1897. The native people are greatly shocked at the burning of the church. Some have said that the burning was premeditated, but the majority of the people plainly understand that it was ac cidental. While the church was burning and many of the people weeping at the sight, it was Hon. H. Waterhouse, one of the building committee of the burning church, who remarked to the heavy hearted Hawaiians, "E pii hou ana no kona mau paia (its walls shall be built again)," may this prophecy be speedily fulfilled. As soon as he can be permitted to call the church members, Mr. Timoteo proposes to appoint a committee whose duty it shall be to find out what can be done towards securing another church as soon as possible. On the 20th of January, the stately Church was accidentally burned. The fire was communicated from a blazing huddle of plague-infected shacks near by, which had been fired by order of the Board of Health. A spark carried the blaze to the roofing of the south eastern steeple, too far up to be reached by the jet of water which the firemen tried to play on to it. As the wood-work was destroyed and bell after bell of the chimes fell to the floor below, an attempt was made from within to check the progress of the flames, and for a time it was hoped that the effort had been successful, but it soon proved otherwise. The flames crept in under the corrugated iron roof and lit the wood-work and soon it was all ablaze and now only the fire-warped brick walls remain. The fine $4000 pipe organ is destroyed, also a piano and the chime of bells which cost $5,500. With the building was also destroyed much costly storage placed in its basement during the quar antine, when the shacks of Chinatown were condemned. The silver communion set, the gift of Hon. A. F. Judd, was also destroyed, also the old pewter set. The burning of the stored goods, along with Kaumakapili Church, is said to have entailed on Japanese and Chinese merchants and householders very heavy losses. Costly jewels and fine fabrics had been placed there for safe keeping, and yet there may been a kind prov idence in the total annihilation of these precious things, for who knows what of contagion there was in them that might have perpetuated the plague in our beautiful city, to the cost of many more lives. The corner stone of the present building was laid on the 2nd of September, 1881, by the then Princess Liliuokalani. It was her birth-day and Rev. Kuaea the minister of the church, knowing this asked her to perform the rite. It took seven years to complete the structure which cost, organ, bells, electric lights and all, about $t>5,000. The building was dedicated Sunday, J jne 5, IHBB, at the time of the annual meeting of the Pleasant Island Mission and Its Missionaries Hawaiian Evangelical Association. and Mrs. De la Porte.

Months had been spent on Kusaie, waiting for the opportunity to get to Pleasant Island. The time had been improved in the study of the language with the young man William, a halfcaste, who was born on Pleasant Island, and who promises to be a great helper in the wotk there. On the 19thof September, Mr. Dc la Porte was ordained to the Gospel ministry by the laying on of hands by Rev. Messrs. Channon and Rife and of the two native Kusaien ministers. This step seemed desirable for a missionary who looks forward to the building up of the Church of Christ upon a lone and unfrequented island, where other gospel minister or ministers might not touch for a generation; besides being a valued testimonial to the character and estimation in which the young missionary is held by those who have known him well. At the last date, October 10, our friends were in the Morning Star, accompanied by Rev. Dr. Rife, touching at the port of Jaluit, Marshall Islands, en route to Pleasant Island. They were receiving from the friendly German Governor, or Commissioner, the final instructions, or regulations that were to be as law for their guidance as residents on that insular possession of the German empire. By the Morning Star, now due at San Francisco, we may hope to learn of the safe landing upon the island, and of the reception of our missionaries by the natives. These consecrated young missionaries are dependent for their support entirely upon the friends of the enterprise residing upon these islands. Their supplies for the current year should be sent them by the Missionary packet that will be leaving San Francisco probably in February. Contributions will be most gratefully received by the treasurer of the enterprise, O. H. Gulick. The Plague in Kobe, Japan. A correspondent in Kobe, Japan, under date of Jan. Nth, 1900, writes a Honolulu friend as follows: "The plague has nearly disappeared here, but still continues in Osaka. Three hundred physicians have been sent there. Three physicians have died of it there. 9000 rats have been taken in Kobe, at five sen a head. Out of 300 found dead 50 showed signs of having died of plague." One sen is of the value of half a cent gold; 450 yen, $225 in gold. The County paid for dead rats. �8 Mv Hi ar Mr. Emerson: I have been deeply impressed with the earnest and ready sympathy in the cause of missions shown by my dear countrymen who have been brought into connection with the work of the Hawaiian Board Missions, and my deep conviction remains unalterable as to the truly spiritual character of the work and the immense service it is rendering to the cause of Christ among "Lusitano" people of the Hawaiian Islands. Nine years have passed since the first Portuguese Missionaries came to these Islands from Illinois and the world has heard the story of the opposition they encountered at their arrival. Rev. Antonio Y. Soares and his dear good wife were settled in this city and the Rev. Robert K. Baptista at Hilo, Hawaii. They have shown great selfdenial and their work deserves more than a passing notice. Moving inch by inch, through the opposition and persecution, it is steadily advancing and becoming a power of great good in the Evangelisation of my countrymen. Through these efficient workers new fields of labor are being opened and occupied at Kohala and Kona, Hawaii, and at Paia, Maui, and other places where the Rev. Antonio Y. Soares has earned the Gospel, demands are con stantly made for help. Kohala and Kona, Hawaii, are the new fields of labor recently entered. Kohala is a field t f great promise not only for evangelical but educational woik and for this purpose an acre of land was given by Mr. Francisco C'aetano of Kaauhuhu, Kohala, for the Portuguese work. This generous gift from a poor man begins a new period of rapid ch.tnge in hastening and beginning in Kohala, Hawaii, a strong evangelical work. The homes of our Portuguese people are visited and the gospel is being introduced. If strong Christian influence prevails more signs of progress will be seen and those interesting regions will be beautified by the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and the truth will conquer falsehood and Christianity will win its way among the Portuguese families of Kohala; will make them better citizens of the Republic, better husbands and wives and better fathers—the Gospel is the only element that can regenerate them. Is not the Lord, by His wonderful working in behalf of my people, showing to a Christian world a great opportunity to aid in the extension of His Kingdom in this part of the world? Every one acknowledges that words cannot express the great need my dear people have of a free and pure Gospel. It means that when the centre of life is reached by Christianity then influences will flow forth into all its ramifications, as sweet waters from a pure fountain. In these fields of labor among the THE FRIEND new difficulties will arise, and the missionaries of our race will need wis dom and zeal to embrace the opportu nities as the way opens to carry the gospel to every one of our fellow I have never felt the countryman. difficulties of the work so strongly as now, when entering again into the field, and I am sure also that my faith was never stronger in the gospel and in the power of Him "whose I am and whom I serve." Most truly yours, Joseph P. Durao. Letter from Prince H. Nanpei. Ponape, Sept. 21st, 1899. Rev. Mr. Emerson, dear Christian friend: I shall commence my letter by informing you I am still living, thank God. I was liberated on the 25th day of March. I am sorry to say that my health is not so good as hitherto; but I am exceeding glad to be a free man, and to be able to enjoy the comforts ol home. I beg to say that during my confinement my health was pretty good. It is only since my return home that I feel sort of broken down and quite out of sorts. It may not be out of place for my telling you that a Spanish steamer is now here, she brought along two priests, who wish to remain on the island. We do not like the idea of those priests being allowed to remain. The Germans are expected to arrive here on the 25th of this month. We hope and trust that the Germans will govern the island in a different manner to what the Spaniards have done, The Spaniards have not shown the natives a good example, they have only tended to make them worse, by encouraging them to smoke and drink. We are in hopes that this change of government will be for the betterment of all concerned. We feel quite certain that the German government will not harass, and interfere with our Christian work, the same as what the Spaniards have always done. Our people are overjoyed at the change, especially when they heard that Germany is a Protestant country. The people are very anxious that an American minister be sent to the island; please use your powerful influence with the mission board to that effect. A few weeks ago the King of Matalanim expressed a desire that an American minister might come; and told me that he might locate the mission station on lanian, a good and pleasant site for the purpose. Some time ago I spoke to the Spanish governor about an American missionary coming to the island, and he said "yes," if a change of government should take place. I am pleased say that we dedicate our new church on the 23rd inst. It is a fine spacious buildiug, wooden structure, and good bell. The seating capacity is about 600; but in a case of emergency it would hold 800 people. We are very glad it is completed, it was a great eyesore to the Spanish, they used m<iny threats to raze it to the ground; but through God's mercy we have been allowed to finish it unmolested. We hope through your kindness to receive those hymn books by about the begin ning of the year 1900. God spare us to receive them. I will give you a fuller account in my next about change of government and so forth. I beg to remain, Your Christian friend, H. Nanpei. Tit-bits. The vexed question of conjugal obedience was settled by Spurgeon in a char acteristic way. In an address at the marriage of the daughter of a friend he spoke thus to the bride about her future lord: "Let him be the head, and do you be the neck, and turn him which way you please." "0 yes. 1 was well acquainted with your father," replied the aged citizen. "But I hope you aren't like him; I never knew of his going inside of a church, and he was the greatest believer in nothing that I ever saw." Soulful Youth (languidly): "Do you sing, 'Forever and Forever?" She (practically): "No, sir; I stop lor meals." A man who lived on one side of a high tightboard "spite" fence in a Wisconsin town, not wishing to be unjustly blamed for it, painted on his side, in letters that could be seen a block away: "He built this fence. I didn't do it." The man on the other side retaliated by painting this inscription on his side: "I had to do it." "Sir," began the book canvasser, "I have a little work here—" "Sorry," interrupted the busy man, "but I have a great deal of work here. Good morning."

It was originally redeemed from a very dark heathenism in a wonderful manner. The Church of Christ has grown and developed here to a noble stature. We have a heritage of consecrated piety and heroic devotion from missionary pioneers. The Church has a great work laid out hefore it. Tens of thousands of our capable and intelligent Asiatic brothers are by our sides, ignorant of Christ and His Kingdom of Grace and Truth. They wait to be instructed. A vast commerce is calling at our shores. It bears our personal influences of character wide abroad to all the shores of this great ocean. Our opportunity for evangelizing service is unprecedented. And with this opportunity we have the kindling stimulus of our grand missionary heritage, telling us to Teach the Nations. Together with this opportunity, our Christian people possess an unusual share of the financial strength which enables them if they will it, to maintain missionary labor in all departments in unusual force. How largely and how faithfully Christian men and women will apply, their UNSCIENTIFIC HIGHER CRITICISM. "Higher Criticism" is critical investigation into the sources of Ancient Literature, and their historical authority and verity. Such criticism is just as legitimate and important for the Sacred Scriptures as for any other writings. If the books attributed to Moses, John or Paul cannot stand the test of sound and just investigation, let the truth be known. The Church should ask for no concealment or pretense. An enormous amount of work upon the Bible has been done by the Higher Critics. Unquestionably many valuable results have been reaped, and knowledge of the Scriptures has been increased. The admirers of the "Polychrome Bible" hail most of their work as a wonderful triumph of genuine Science, dissipating the mist of ancient myths and fables, especially those of the Pentateuch, which Moses never wrote, and which has no historical value. There appears, however, to be ample reason to believe quite the contrary, and to regard those vaunted conclusions of the critics, so far from being really scientific, as fantastic and conjectural, and their methods as such as would net be tolerated in the investigation of any secular book of antiquity. To support and illustrate our 17 The Friend. [March, 1900 contention, we give excerpts from a recent article in the Bibliotheca Sacra, upon "Rupprecht on the Pentateuch." Ruppreclit is a conservative German scholar of eminence. He says: "The methods of determining the socalled '.sources' are at variance with the universal conditions of procedure in the literary investigation of documents, resorting as it does to a course of arbitrary conjecture and phantasy, which cuts loose from every mark of science." "With arbitrary changes of the original, and all conjectural procedures, I have of set purpose nothing to do. Such a process, in which Dc Wette, Vatke, Wi'llhausen, and their followers have taken pleasure, does not deserve the name of historical investigation." He boldly declares the "unscientific character of the false criticism," because the recognition of the Mosaic authorship and credibility of the Pentateuch is rendered impossible on any historic proof, however strong. "The prejudgment, the fundamental axiom, which lies at the foundation of all the procedures of the negative criticism of earlier and later times, is the denial of the miraculous, the supernatural. Everything is made subservient to this axiom. Hence the maltreatment of the sources, maltreatment in the strictest sense, such as is not heard of in the case of any secular author. Such a procedure is the grave of true science. For them there can be no history which contains real miracles and prophesy." He quotes the recent striking statement of Roscher in his work on "National Economy," that "modern Science is right in applying the same fundamental tests to the biblical hooks as to secular writings. Hut it should actually do so, and judge these books, if not more favorably, yet not more unfavorably than other books. But the school which today calls itself preeminently the critical one has done wholly otherwise. It follows fundamental principles which, if applied to profane writers, would arouse general remonstrance." One may feel comfortably assured that when honest and really scientific criticism recovers control, the fantastic conjectures of Kuenen. Wellhausen, Cheyne and Driver, together with their "Polychrome Bible," will be relegated to the general limbo of literary absurdities. The fundamental axiom of that whole school of critics is that all miracles and all prophecy are impossible, and therefore all books which tell such stories could not have been �THE FRIEND 18 written by the alleged eye witnesses. Accordingly they contrive the most fanciful conjectures to account for the authorship of the books. That is what they call Sci- uttering the complimentary words which the flowers.

MRS. ALICE GORDON GULICK HONORED. The Congrcgationalist reports some influential meetings held near Boston. "On the second occasion the parlors were filled with a company of men and women of prominence and influence in the social and professional life of the town. It was very much like the ordinary social assemblage up to the point when the host presented Mrs. Alice < iordon Gulick as the speaker of the evening. From that point on the thought and feeling of the company broadened and deepened until one felt the electric atmosphere of an enthusiastic missionary meeting. The simple telling of the extraordinary story of the International Institute for Girls in Spain made all hearts tender and responsive. There was no hint of the sacrifices this heroic woman and her husband had made, of the persecution and opposition encountered, or of the succession of personal sorrows down to her latest affliction, the loss of her son, who had just begun educational work in Porto Rico. Instead, this queenly woman, with her strong, serene face and musical voice, showed what wonderful things and yet what natural things, too, in view of the superior character of the human instrumentalities involved, God had been doing in Spain. She spoke of the warmth of feeling toward our country since the war, of the appreciation on the part of the Spanish soldiers of kind treatment in American prisons, and of the $40 worth of clothing which our Government presented to each of them to take hack to Spain. She depicted the leiderless condition of our fallen foe and th yearning of the better class for liberty and enlightenment. Her narration of the appearance of her pupils before the Imperial University at Madrid, to take the examinations which had heretofore been open only to men, of the softening of the hearts of the professors toward them and of the'r • triumphant scholarship was scarcely less than thrilling. The tiny educational seed which she planted at .San S bastian si many years ago has. indeed, alreidv reached a splendid fruition. "Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer was at her best that night.

LETTER FROM MISS LOGAN. Sydney, February sth, 1900. Rev. O. P. Emerson, Hawaiian Board, Honolulu. Dear Sir:—l am sure the Honolulu friends will be somewhat surprised to hear from me from this part of the world, and I am quite surprised to find myself here. As the Morning Star has been ordered not to visit Ruk, I found it necessary to engage a passage for Sydney in the steam trading vessel Archer, as 1 have been ill for many months, and besides my own comfort there was the care and anxiety which 1 caused others to be thought of. I arrived in Sydney on Wednesday, February Ist and shall probably stay here for some few weeks, then I shall start for home via Honolulu and possibly stay over one steamer to rest and to visit friends. I have a native couple with me and must arrange some way of getting them back to Ruk if the Star sails from Frisco before I can reach there I shall have to leave them in Honolulu, hoping they may find some way back to the islands, but J feel it is most important that the Star shouldawait my arrival so as to take them on. I can spare them now so that they can go to Honolulu by the next steamer if you advise it. I have also written to my brother asking him to advise with the American Board in regard to them, and I hope he will cable. I am in good hands here in Sydney and have found many unexpected friends. I am quite cheerful and hopeful about things and trust I may speedily recover health, but it is a difficulty with my nerves and I cannot hope for very rapid progress. By the next opportunity I shall hope to write to you and to other friends more fully, but now just a word or two will have to suffice as I am not able to go into details.

During the same period it has steadily grown in interest and value. The present number contains the usual comprehensive statistical tables, carefully revised and enlarged. There is hardly any branch of facts in Hawaii, reducible to figures, not included in these statistics. There is the usual variety of special articles of interest relating to Hawaii. The most important of them seems to be one of twenty-five pages by Dr. Maxwell on "The Hawaiian Islands." This is revised by the author from its previous publication in the Year Book of Agriculture for 1898, for which it was prepared for the U. S. Government. Its information is confined chiefly to agricultural features. Professor A. B. Ingalls devotes ten pages to the story of a trip from Kona to the eruption of Mauna Loa last July. Dr. A. B. Lyons tells in sixteen pages "What a Botanist may see in Honolulu." This should be abridged as part of a Guide Book for visitors to our city, who traverse the streets ignorantly wondering at strange and beautiful vegetation. Ten pages are given to a most suggestive article by the late Rev. Dr. C. M. Hyde upon "Hawaiian Legends Resembling Old Testament History." The material is mainly derived from Fornander's History. No tenable theory appears yet to have been constructed to account for the diffusion of Semitic legends among a race so remote as the Polynesian. Ed Towse has a neat article on "An Island Art Center," showing how art treasures are gravitating to the beautiful Pauahi Hall of Oahu College. "More Picture Rocks" are described from a cave beyond Koko Head. We have early recollections of having seen similar pictures on calabashes, scratched on the green gourds. Besides a number of other short articles there are six pages of special "Information for Tourists." A book much needed here is a Visitors' Guide, for the use of transient callers from steamers, who need to make the most of their few hours. Why cannot Mr. Thrum prepare a little work of the kind? It ought to sell on steamers and at hotels like war extras. DR. WALTER MAXWELL IN QUEENSLAND. Hawaii's agricultural expert, Dr. Maxwell, returned on the 21st ult. from the Australian colony of Queensland, whither he went in the interests of their sucar in- in im- of whom lack the skill of our planters in Hawaii. Under their management, the fertility of the soil is being greatly impaired. With expert instruction its improvement may be expected. Dr. Maxwell's visit of inspection will doubtless promote that end. He was greatly impressed with the vast natural resources of Queensland, both agricultural and mineral. It is almost exclusively a "white man's country," a colony of hard-working, intelligent people. Their exports are immense. Brisbane, the capital, is a city of 130,000 people. No doubt it will soon begin to have its own steamers crossing the Pacific via Honolulu. Most of Queensland is in the tropics. It remains to be seen how far north the wdiite man can thrive in their tropic heat. Brisbane is in latitude 27 0 , where winter has some coolness. portance ; while the Pacific ocean, its shores, its islands and the vast region be- THE FUTURE OF HONOLULU. Brigham H. Roberts, the husband of three wives, who was elected as Representative to Congress from Utah, was excluded from his seat by a vote of 278 to 50. The Mormons will hardly choose again a polygamist to represent them in Congress. Most ofthe minority of 50 believed that the proper way was to let Roberts take his seat, and then expel him. Mr. Theodore W. Noyes is the editor of The Evening Star, the leading paper of Washington City. He recently visited Honolulu, and wrote home as follows: Probably the London or New York of the future Pacific will not spring up in Hawaii. The comparatively small size and limited resources of the Islands perhaps forbid. But a large, prosperous city, not alone as the market of steadily increasing domestic imports and exports, but as the Half-Way House between America and Asia at which every Pacifictraversing ship will naturally call is reasonably certain to be developed and to prosper in exact accordance with the expansion of Pacific trade. When the commerce of this ocean was represented by a single Spanish galleon, sailing annually from Manila to Acapulco, the author of Anson's Voyage said in 1746: "It is indeed most remarkable that by the concurrent testimony of all the Spanish navigators. there is not one port betwixt the Philippine Islands and the coast of California; so that from the time the Manila ship first loses sight of land she never lets go her anchor till she arrives on the coast of California." Now when this commerce has been multiplied by the thousand, and will speedily be multiplied by the tens and hundreds of thousands, we have happily changed all that and an admirable and attractive intermediate port is provided. In 1852 William H. Seward said: yond will become the chief theater of events in the world's great hereafter." This bold prediction, visionary at the date of its delivery, is rapidly being verified. The Pacific is steadily outstripping the Atlantic in volume of trade. The acquisition of the Philippines, in connection with the new development of Japan, the remaking of China, the near-by completion of the Siberian railroad and the construction of an isthmian canal, will tremendously increase the commerce between America and Asia, and Honolulu will be an essential link in the American commercial chain connecting the two hemispheres, and will participate in Pacific business activity and prosperity. MORMON POLYGAMY REBUKED. GOVERNMENT DEADLOCK. The existing Government of Hawaii finds itself in a most singular position financially. It has an overflowing treasury, but there seems to be no legal way of taking the money for the necessary expenses of public affairs. The reason is that there is no Legislature of Hawaii to make the legal appropriation. The old Legislature has ceased to exist. President Dole ordered the election of a new Legislature in September last; but President McKinley forbade that election, for reasons not set forth Consequently we have no Legislative body. The old appropriations have expired, and there is no body of men authorized to make new ones however necessary. President McKinley has been appealed to and seems to appreciate our trouble, but administers no remedy. Minister Damon proposes to get the Council of State to pass the indispensable appropriations, and to ask the President to ratify them. Meanwhile Congress is in hard labor with the Bill to constitute a Territorial Government for Hawaii, but the parturition is tedious, and no one can tell when it will be born. . �22 [March, 1900.

We have done all we possibly could for her welfare and comfort, and will continue to give her all the sympathy it is possible. We might mention that we have engaged the services of Dr. Jenkins who is our leading expert on spinal troubles and have engaged a room for her at Miss Duffy's private hospital." "Dr. Jenkins says it will be about three months before she is able to travel. She has been visited by several of my missionary friends here, who are much interested in her welfare. You may rest assured that she is in good hands. It is interesting to note that Dr. Jenkins holds out good hopes for her recovery." She has yet to learn of the death of her mother. To a reporter Miss Logan stated: "For the last six years or so the work of the mission has been carried on despite a good many adversities; but with much encouragement. The natives are always fighting among themselves, but the German authorities are now endeavoring to disarm them. In some districts the natives are suffering from famine, chiefly through having neglected their crops to fight. "Traders complain of the hostilities of the natives," observed Miss Logan, "but we found that if a person was straightforward and honest he had nothing to fear. The natives are taught in the mission schools, and then sent out to teach. In many cases they disappoint us, but we can scarcely expect great results in such a short time, especially considering the reverses we have had, and the lack of support from the Government. The native population speaking the Ruk language is about 12,000. There are ten churches in the group, in charge of native teachers. The only communication which the missionaries have with the outside world is about once a year, when the mission steamer arrives with supplies." Describing the manners and customs of the natives, Miss Logan said it was difficult to imagine the fihh and vice in which they lived-. The children marry when they are eight or nine years of age. Miss Logan brought a native couple to Sydney with her. The wife looks quite a child, though she is 19 years of age. Girls have no voice in the selection of their husbands. Drunkenness is not known in the group. The natives make a drink which ferments, but they do not keep it long enough for it to become intoxicating. Miss Logan's reminiscences told of a rough life, in which she had to undertake hard manual work such as no civilized woman would dream of doing. She had also been in danger of her life from the natives, whom she describes as thankless and cowardly in their natural state. It has also fallen to her lot to interfere between fighting chiefs, but she says she was never afraid. When her health improves she hopes to return to her mother in the States. �[March, 1900. THE FRIEND. 24 LETTER FROM PRINCE H. NANPEI. nified and respectful, Ponape, Nov. ist, 1899. Rev. O. P. Emerson, Respected Sir:—I have much pleasure in reporting that our bitter enemies in religion have taken their departure; only three priests and as many cooks, or brothers, as they are usually termed, have concluded to remain on the island. Of course we have nothing to fear now from them, as their arbitrary and despotic power is now broken. The German manof-war, accompanied by a transport ship, arrived Here on the 19th day of Octobet last, fired a royal salute and the Governor came on shore with a body of marines, who marched up to the Government house and without any ceremony hoisted the German flag amid a hundred hearty cheers. Our new Governor and ruler is a very plain and unassuming gentleman, and seems to know his work thoroughly, and is very firm and steadfast in his purpose. Even whilst the Spaniards were here he commenced to reform some of those evil and pernicious habits that the Spanish had introduced into the island. The liquor business was his first measure to reform, the sale and use of all intoxicating liquors to be strictly prohibited. The Spaniards jeered at this, and told the natives "Governor mucho-malo, no more gin, wine, nor brandy for Ponape man." The Governor's next best measure was to guarantee free and absolute religious liberty to all sects ami creeds; and if there are any who prefer to b; nothing, well, let him, or them be nothing. Catholic priests must not cause any further trouble in religious matters or they will at once be removed from off the island. We, as you may naturally suppose, are highly pleased at this hquor traffic being put a stop to. Poor Mr. Doane tried all he could to put it down, but alas for him, he was powerless to do so. Governor says that all merchants and business people are to be taxed, but not so the natives, until.further orders from his Government. The Governor very wisely suggests that "he will not trouble the natives for their fire-arms, so long as they behave themselves and do what is right; "but if not"—then he paused. Which speaks volumes. The Governor is a great traveler; he has already footed over the greater portion of the island. He says he wants to come in contact with the people, to hear, and to see things for himself. He says also that he has no u.se for an interpreter, they only tend to lie, and mislead. "I am going," says he "to study the language and do my own thinking, and my own talking." I have had several interviews with the Governor, and I was quite astonished to note the difference between a German Governor and a Spanish Governor; the one so calm, dig- and the other so proud, haughty and overbearing. Hitherto we entertained a sort of dread of coming in contact with Germans, but now we are beginning to realize our mistake. We have every reason to believe that our present Governor will rule wisely and well; but woe betide those who cross arms with the Germans; they will certainly annihilate old and young on the island. Every incentive is held out to the natives to be good, and to do good. They are guaranteed protection, and every other thing that will make them a better, and a happier people so long as they conform to the laws and rules laid down by the German Government. There is one tiling certain, that the Governor has already gained and secured the good will and respect of the people, a thing which the Spanish could never do in a thousand years. Why this Governor has done more real good for the island and its inhabitants in just a few weeks, than the Spaniards did in thirteen years. The Spaniards never tried to help our people; people who were suffering with ulcerated sore legs, or any other disease wre afraid to approach a Spanish doctor, for fear of their getting made worse, or poisoned. It is not so with the Germans. The Governor invites all who are suffering with any complaint to come and get cured if possible. And it is truly wonderful to witness the miraculous cures this doctor has made; running sores of ten and fifteen years standing are now in a fair way of recovery; amputation 01 legs, taking out eyes, and replacing, by glass ones is a truly wonderful sight for natives to behold. There are quite a*hundred people in the hospital; doctor's attendance free gratis. It was a pleasure to the Spanish to see the people die off. We are very hopeful of having some good American missionary amongst us soon to help carry on our good Christian work. We feel that we need some higher power, and influence, to further enlighten us in (iod's word. We do all that is in our power to do; but it is only so far and no further. I am given to understand that a mail will be running every two months or so, there will then be no difficulty in getting letters to and fro; as it is, it is quite a bother to know just how we are going to get a letter sent along. Meantime I beg to remain Your obedient servant, Henry Nan pel Dec. 29th. S— am at the Colonia, hospital P. I in as my feet are swollen and giving me some trouble. The German Governor felt somewhat slighted that the Morning Star left the Caroline Islands without calling into Ponape to report herself. Everything is all right here at present. SHALL THE PACIFIC CABLE GO BY ALASKA? There is no question about the necessity of a cable "to Honolulu. But reasons are alleged why instead of going on from Honolulu to Manila, the cable should be laid along the shallow seas and numerous landings of Alaska, the Aleutian, and trie Kurile Islands to Japan, and thence to Manila. This being a great circle route, is considerably shorter. Being in shoal waters and short stretches, the cable required is so much lighter, and the resistance so much less, that several times as many messages can be sent, and the expenses of wear and maintenance be reduced to less than one-third. It is not easy to decide what shall be done. Meantime the cable to Honolulu will no doubt be rapidly pushed. Probably cables will ultimately be laid through both routes. HAWAIIAN FINANCES. The Hawaiian Treasury at the end of cash balance in its vaults of $1,531,784.89, as against $740,280.21 of the previous year. The increased prosperity of the Islands is shown by the fact that customs receipts for 1899 were $1,295,628.95, as compared with $896,975.70 for 1898, while tax receipts for 1899 were $1,068,117.27, as compared with $811,818.67 for 1898. The taxes are composed mainly of a one per cent tax on real and personal property, indicating an increase in values of 30 per cent during the year. The total loan indebtedness is $4,890,-35140. 1X99 held a The U. S. Treasury on January 18 held $400,102,275 in gold in its vaults. U. S. MARINE HOSPITAL. The President has set apart a reservation in this city of seven acres for a Navy Hospital. The tract lies on the S. E. slope of Punchbowl, and north of the Makiki Cemetery, between the sinuosities of the hill road on the east, and the deep gully on the west. It is mainly near 200 feet altitude, dry, healthy, cool, and with deep black sand sub-stratum. With water pumped to its level it will make a lovely garden spot to cheer the invalid seamen. ]}ISHOP & CO., BANKERS. Hawaiian Islands. 1858. Transact a general Banking and Exchange business.
