His Majesty King Kalakaua is enjoy
ing himself 10 the fullest extent, and re-
ceiviug enough attention and American
hospitality TO satisfy any ruler. Since
his arrival here he has not been allowed
much time for rest, but has been kept
very busy attending TO his many engage
meniS. On Monday last he was the
guest OF Admiral Brown on the Ex-
aminer's fast launch Aquilla.
On Sunday the King took a sail on the
bay in schooner Lurline, the flagship OF
the Pacific Yacht Squadron, but the trip
was not SO pleasant as it might have
been on account OF lack OF wind. His

on Sunday, were attended by the King,
/ accompanied by Colonel Baker and Ha-
waiian Consul Mckinley.

| the History Building, and, after inspect
ing the storerooms, he was taken to the
second floor, where he was shown Ma
koffSky's great paintings, The Russian
/ Wedding FEAST and The Judgment
OF Paris " The former attracted His
/ Maiastv'S attention, and ELECTED from
him many remarks OF establishment. He
spent considerable time before the pic
ture and viewed it from many different
positions. The Judgment did not
seem TO catch the royal eve, for he soon
returned to the The Wedding Feast"
On Monday night of December 18th
he attended the California Theatre.
The announcement OF his attendance
having been made was the cause OF the
theatre being packed, with hundreds
turned from the door.
His Majesty, on the following evening,
was rendered j banquet and reception
by the Bohemian Club. and very en-
jovable time was had
On Wednesday the King and his suite,
attended by Rear-Admiral Brown and
his aid, Lieutenant Blow, left this city at
o'clock to visit Monterey, where they
viii remain three or four days. Colonel

Minister Carter.
II. i. P. Carter, Minister of the King
dom OF Hawaii 70 the United States. ar
rived in San Francisco at noon on sun
day last, having made = hying trip
across the continent in respond 70 4 dis
patch requesting him to meet King ka-
lakaua here. Minister Carter immedi-
ately went 10 the Palace where he took
apartments. In the evening he had an
audience with His Majesty. The only
other person present being Geo. W.
Macfarlane, the Kings Chamberlain.
Minister Carter refused to say any
thing about the object OF the summons
that brought him here, but few DAYS
viii develop something OF importance as
affecting the commercial relations OF
Hawaii to this country, for it is gener-
ally believed that he came here to con-
suit with kalakaua about the Mckinley
bill, which, in its sweeping provisions
specifying dutiable goods, included
number OF articles from Hawaii that
were admitted free under the recipro-
city treaty with that country.
Minister Carter fayors the most GEN
eral reciprocity between his country and

have the hearty support OF the King in
this matter, and in view OF the fact that
President Harrison sympathizes with |
the Blaineis reciprocity ideas to the ex-
tent that he has said, there can be no |
doubt but what much commercial good !
viii be attained by reciprocity with |
Spain and Cuban products. 1t is thought /
that the King will send Ministe. Carter /
back TO Washington with such instruc- /
tons as may bring about a new and /
more extensive treaty of reciprocity with 4
this country. Up TO the time OF the /
sailing OF the China for Honolulu, the
public have not been appraised OF the 4
objects Of Minister CaTter's sudden visit
10 this city, DEt it is no doubt connected
with the reciprocity question.
