LITTLE DIPLOMACY.
His present visit was one OF friendly nature 80
the President and he did not propose 10 take any
part IN the proposed negotiations with our gov.
ernment for reciprocity treaty. that important
auty having been intrusted to the able embassy
whlch he had accredited TO the United
states, Chancellor Allen and Hon. Mr.. Coster,
VINO would doubtless carry it to o successful
conclusion. He spoke OF the advantages likely to
accrue TO both countries by such treaty as he
mao alluded TO. san Francisco and the United
otates generally would enjoy the entire trade OF
'he ISLANDS, which was OF growing Importance.
He anticipated an agreeable visit through the
United states, and perhaps his trip would be ex-
tended TO Europe. His voyage here on the Be
nicia was extremely pleasant All the on1cers
had Wed with each other in making the journey as
pleasant as possible, and he appreciated their

how long be would remain here he said that he
should probably be or on Friday next and that 1t
would be his first duty to visit Washington and
pay his respects 10 the President. Subsequently
he was likely to 60 to New YORK and other cities

THR GOVERNOR OF MANI.
His Excellency J. p. Kupena, Governor OF Mani
and one OF the PrivY Councillors OF the King Is q
bright, intelligent young man, native OF Hawaii,
and evidently great favorlte OF the King. He
informed me that the King and he had once be-
longed to the journalistic guild. having been edit
ors Of daily paper in Honolulu, ana always took
great pleasure in meeting with their brethren,
wheresoever found. He was also very much
pleased with the kind treatment extended to him
on the Benicta and alluded to his friendship to
many OF our naval oficers who have been sta
toned at the Sandwich Islands, all OF whom seem
to have left pleasant impression among the In
haoitants OF those islands.
GOVERNOR DoMINICUs.
His Excenency Governor J. o. Dominicus Is
brother-in-law to the King. and, l believe was
born in Oswego, N. Y, where his father lived.
He is good specimen OF the successful universal

generous nature. He believes In the United States
OF America, and,,I fancy, prays for the eventual
annexation Of his country to the United States
The vast American interests in the Sandwich
Islands, the commercial relations between the
two countries and the great influence OF the United
States among the nations all lead but to one nat
ural result-a closer union between the two
people. But as he has no diplomatic function,
and Is only on visit OF pleasure with HIS Majesty,
he did not feel inclined to converse on what might
be regarded as political topics.

report found In one Of the San Francisco papers,
which seemed to indicate that the King was
pleased with the success of the democratic party.

interests OF the Sandwich Islands are concerned.
But Of democracy and republlcanism, as popu-

to the King who has been misrepresented here.
