Steam and Iron.


The agitation of the free ship question
has had one good effect, at least. 1t has
directed attention to our shipping inter
est, brought about investigations as to
the causes which have deprived us of our
former large share of the foreign carry
ing trade, and led to the organization OF
associations for the purpose of protecting
and promoting American commerce. The
general verdict appears to be that the
wooden sailing ship must go; that iron
is superseding wood and steam taking
the place OF sails that the field for the
profitable employment of sailing ships is
becoming limited, and that the increasing
cost of wooden vessels places them at /,
disadvantage with the longer lived iron
vessels. Canada is having an experience
similar to ours. The falling off in the de
mand for wooden vessels has had the eff
feet to diminish the number Of vessels
built in the Dominion. In former wears
the Canadian shipbuilders built largely

three loud and hearty hurrahs were given
by the assembled people.
The Princess Regent then spoke 10 the
people, referred TO His Majesty's late visit
to Lahaina, and his expression of hone in
regard to advantages TO rebound to his
country by a visit, which the Princess said
was now being fulfilled. His Majesty had
been received by great Powers with a cordi-
allty, thai gave increased assurance for the
maintenance OF Hawaiian Independence.
Her Royal Highness expressed her thank
fullness for the evidences of prosperity in
the country she saw around her and of such
hearty patriotism and LOYALTY, As were
manifest this evening. The remarks of the
Princess We're received with warm applause.
At the close Of the address of the Princess.
Hon. J. NJ. Kapena made some remarks,
and subsequently Hon. L. Aholo. At the
close of the meeting, the Princess Regent
and party paid a visit to the residence OF
Hon. w. VI. Gibson.
At 3 A. M.-Friday morning the Princess
Regent and party, left Lahaina per steamer
Lehua: and steamed for Pukoo on MoIokai
arriving there at 6 A. M.-about 600 people
assembled on the beach TO greet the Prin-
cess Regent who staid 4 while at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Edwin Jones and made n
speech there To- the thrOng of people.
Hon. John Kapena also made a speech. y
deputation of the people had prepared an
address of welcome to the Princess Regent
and it was presented.
At $50 a. NJ, the steamer was again TAX
en- and steamed away for Kalaupapa, the
landing place of the Leper Settlement, and
arrived at > p. NJ. The Princess Regent and
party were received by Father Damien and
Mr.. Meyers and by all of the poor, unfortu-
mates who were able TO come and meet the
Royal party. The Princess Regent and
party then rode through the Settlement and
returned at ) p. NJ. to the steamer, which
Immediately headed for Honolulu, arriving
here at midnight.

Tour of the Princess Regent on Maui.

Her Royal Highness and suite left Wal
luku on Wednesday at 8 A. NJ, and rode to
Maalaea; and there took boat. Six boats
transported the Princess Regent and her
party. The little fleet coasted gaily along
the shores of U~kumehame and Olowalu, on
a gentle breezy sea. The Royal banner was
displayed on the foremost boat, a swift,
light skiff; pulled by stout arms, that made
her bound over the swelling surf, as she
shot inside the reef of the Lahaina road
stead.
The Princess Regent, and the Prin cess
Likelike were met at the wharf by a con-
course of people; and the two Princesses
were driven by Mrs. Hayselden in her car
riage to Kia's cottage a residence of the
late Governor Nahaolelua.
The following day, Thursday, the Prin-
cess Regent and party visited the Catholic
schools, in the rear of the Catholic Church,
i'm charge of Father ALBERT. There were
about eighty pupils neatly dressed. The
Princess Regent spoke to them in the
Hawaiian language, and urged them to
goodness, and to be obedient to their teach
ers. All the young people, and a company
of their relatives and friends come forward,
and rendered a hearty aloha, each one kiss
ing the hand of the Princess Regent.
Leaving the Catholic School the Princess
Regent and party proceeded to visit the
English School of st. Cross,i in charge of Miss
Albro. There are at this boarding institu-
ton twenty young Misses of various ages,
who appeared tastefully dressed and under
excellent discipline. Miss AlbrO exercised
her young pupils in combined song and ex-
%ercise, in accordance with a new Kinder
garten system, and the children made a very
excellent display, highly gratifying to the
Princess Regent.
Her Royal IIighness addressed n few
words in the English language to the pupils.
She was happy, she said, to see in their de-
pertinent and exercises the evidence of
their attention to good tuition. She i'm
pressed upon their young minds, hat all
tuition would be in vain, unless they were
good. They must always obey their teach
er, be good and obedient, then they would
become good women, and a blessing to their
country.
At Z. p. m. the people of Lahaina had as
sembled at Wainee Church. The large
building was well filed by a very large as
semblage of people. On the entry of the
two Princesses and suite into the building,

THE spirit in which a certain portion of
this community look upon all newcomers,
regarding them in the light of interlopers,
and as undesirable competitors with them
for business standing, social position, and
possibly for political influence. has about it
all the characteristics of that of the small
tradesman III some petty village in an Older
country, who looks upon the man who
opens a new shop as necessarily his per-
sonal enemy. This is the spirit in which
one of the organs of this party prays that
we may be delivered from incursiouS of
tourists. In the same temper are the letters
of the &" Minister of State,' who is acting
as our immigration Commissioners, and tells
BeIgians and Germans that if they like To
come here, well and good, but that they
had better think twice about il before they
start. In contrast to this Indifference to
the interests of the country in the matter
of bringing people here, is the effusive
readiness with which these people OCCASION
ally help a man to get away or bring into
play every engine of law and police, to
drive him out of the Kingdom. This
temper on the part of a too influential
section Of the community has done more
to retard the material progress Of the
Hawaiian Islands than anything else that
could be named.
THE approach of the time for new cleo
tions of members Of the Legislative Assem-
bly, is evidently waking up the Government
TO the desirability of carrying out the ex-
pressed wishes of the representatives of the
people as recorded during last session.
After being sneered at for a twelvemouth,
the proposed hospitals for preliminary
treatment OF lepers are at length to be
erected. Arrangements as to that for the
island of Maui are reported to be well adj
vanced. So far as Oahu is concerned, the
matter has got the length of a site being
