certain to be interviewed. Mr.. Kapena
was no exception to the rule.
At New Orleans Mr.. Kapena put up at
the ST. Charles Hotel, with a party con-
sisting Of BIr. F. Banning and family OF
Honolulu, and Mr. VIM. Holgate of Los
Angeles, California 4 reporter of '"The
Daily States" an influential city paper,
soon put in an appearance, and the bust
ness Of interviewing was begun without
any preliminary skirmishing Mr. Ka-
pena was in a communicate frame OF
mind, and proceeded to give an account
Of himself from the day he left Homo
lulu up to that morning. He paid
neat compliment to the New Orleans
exhibition while doing justice to the
Louisville display Then followed in
quiries regarding the Islands, to which
His Excellency replied as follows:
Trade continues in a prosperous state;
large fortunes are not being made, but a
fair and satisfactory result Is being realized
on investments. About six years ago
Claus Spreckels came to US with capital
of more than two million dollars, and the
natural result has been beneficial to the
Islands and to Mr.. Spreckels himself. His
operations have been very extensive and
principally in sugar Last year our Gov
eminent discontinued the subsidy of
81 900 a month to the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company and gave Claus Spreckels a
subsidy of 81 600. The Pacific Mail Com
their ships were not allowed to remain
long enough at Honolulu to do justice to
our commerce, or to afford reasonable facil-
tiles for passengers. For this reason it is
believed the present arrangement is more
satisfactory and more beneficial to our in
terests.
The interviewer expressed hope that
Hawaii might be represented at the new
exposition, but Mr.. Kapena was not able
to hold out any prospect of that result.
81 came here" he said, with my
friends on purpose to see New Orleans
and the Exposition on my way home.
We had not calculated on the magnitude
of the enterprise or we should probably
have participated in it. AS it is l fear
it will not be possible"
There can be no doubt whatever that
the display which these Islands made at
the New Orleans and Louisville EXPOSE
tions has been of very great value in
bringing their capabilities and resources
before men OF enterprise in all parts Of
the world. Money expended on such
objects is always well spent. And the
Minister of Finance, during his late
American tour, has contributed not a
little to keeping alive the interest in
Hawaii among men of intelligence
and enterprise from all parts of the
world. Now that Mr. Kapena is home
amongst us it is fit that a record of his
doings should be known.

Some little time ago we published an
account of characteristic interview
with the Minister of Finance, Mr.. Ka-

interview were of great value to these

in a strong and impressive light. But

RELICS OF A LOST CONTINENT.
Evidence of Native Written Language
Among the Pacific Islanders.



Capt. William Churchill, a Pacific ocean
salt, is telling the San Franciscans what no
knows and what he guesses about the archie
logical remains found in the Islands of the
Pacific He seeks to show by the records of
deep-sea soundings and from archaeological
remains that the Pacific islands are only the
remains of q submerged continent, whose
mountain peaks and lofty nights are all that
remain above the surface of the ocean.
Polynesian Gntecedent civilization is re-
yeaied, he thinks, through ancient imHie-
pements, statues and scuptursd stone sla1s
found on few Of the groups more notably
the Feejees
The studies Of z)ophytes and coral forml-
lions taken from Il depth Of 1000 fathoms
aud more also confirm this belief of the sub
sidence Of the prehistoric continent On
Pltcairn'S is and, and also on Tahiti and
Tonga Tabu have been found remains which
show the existence of a long-forgotten tribe.
At Tonga-Tabu a monster trilithon is to he
seen. 1t Is composed of gray volcanic stone,
with neatly dressed edges. 1t IS 1OXl2 feet
square, AMI stands twenty feet out of the
ground. Il is surmounted by huge kava

He gives a vivid description of moGolithit
statues of stone and sculptured wood fount
on Easter island. The monoliths were fount
standing in rows of five or six, only a few
feet apart. They were hewn from volcanic
rock, and were either very crude in work
manship, or else they had suffered from th
ravages of time. Oner Of these statue
was quite we'll preserved. Each of then
was ten feet high, and they represented hu
man heads and holies, with a kind Of ca
or other head covering on the top. Thes
are the same statues seen and desc.ibei b
