The Hawaiian gazette., 1890-12-16

His Majesty entered carriage in wait
ing, his escort entered others, the troop
ers formed in line, and the cavalcad
moved slowly up Market street, present
ing brilliant spectacle.
To the Palace.
Captain Smith, manager of the Palace
was waiting in the courtyards at thi
head OF deputation OF prominent citi
zens composed of Messrs. Adolph B
Spreckels, Morris Heyman Green, E. P
Danforth, Charles Weller, Norton, Jane!
Rithet, Morris Greenbaum and General
Dimond. The captain was dressed in s
neat cutaway with top hat just from
Hillhouse's in Bond street.
The Fourth Cavalry made a very neat
maneuver in New Montgomery street
and presented salutary array as the re-
gal equipage swept through the new iron
gates into the courtyard. Captain Smith
| advanced and received His Majesty in a
few appropriate words and led the way
to the reception room on the lower floor.
There General Gibbon and his staff and
large number of civilians were adj
mitted by the guard that was placed on
the doors to pay respect to the monarch
Ten minutes afterward a servant an
nounced to Captain Smith that the
apartments on the first floor, southeast
corner-just vacated by G. ?. Hunt
ington-were IN readiness.
Meanwhile tremendous crowd had
gathered in the courtyard, and the way
to the elevator was crowded with admir-
| ing bystanders. The galleries above
were thronged with pretty and curious
women-that is. all OF them were Curl
Gus.
Halt dozen servants cleared the way
to the elevator, and in g few moments
the King was IN his spacious apart
ments.
A large case of wine had been brought
in and was well frappe by the time it
was opened, His Majesty drinks a
sweeter wine than do some OF his adj
mirers.
Royal Interview
The Examiner reporter was presented
to the King by Colonel George Macfar-
lane.
81 have met an Examiner reporter
before" said His Majesty, smiling.
SIT is tradition in the office, your
Majesty"
"Ah, yes, but this one visited the ISL
ands last year and wrote very inter-
esting article"
Then his Majesty, who is quiet,
seli-possessed man, with an excellent
manner, spoke of his voyage in the
Charleston, and wished that a few
things should be said concerning the
officers, who had given him such an en-
joyable time.
''Were Hawaiian affairs in peaceful
condition when YOU left ," asked the re-
porter. q.
Perfectly so. There was, OF course,
general anxiety on the subject
OF the Mckinley bill. 1t goes into
effect in April, and will have an lnju-
rious effect on Honolulu commerce"
SIS its effect already perceptible in
business eircles?"
''To certain degree"
"What about the treaty between Ha
waii and the United State 90
''Oh, that is ended by the Mckinley
act, Of course.
Then there will be new treaty."
"Yes; but that is subject on which
the Hawaiian Government is reticent at
present. l am here simply for six or
eight weeks for the benefit of my health,
which has been rather Indifferent for
several months. l have no organic |
trouble, but am simply run down from |
work and the need of change OF climate |
for time. | am already like a new |
man from the effects OF the sea voyage. |
shall go from here to British Columbia |
on a visit to Victoria"
where do you expect to find a
market for your sugar now that this
country is shut off,"
eve look to Australia and Canada. |
Already the Canadian Pacific Railway
has arranged with our Government for
Its steamers to call regularly at Homo
lulu, and undoubtedly Canada will en-
deavor to come in for the commercial
afforded it."
AT O'Clock Governor Waterman and
Mayor Pond waited on his Majesty and
rendered him their distinguished atten-
ton. In the evening large number of
citizens paid their respects. If it was
fair the next day his Majesty will drive
in the Park. In the evening he was
to attend the performance at the Cali
fornia Theatre.
