so solemn and important as that of

to honor our late King in life. and
for the care and the return of the

so much for our late King.

Pae Alma, read a set of resolutions in
native: Hon. Antoine Rosa read the
same in English.
Hon. Samuel Parker then adj
dressed the assemblage. He thought
the matter of great Importance, and
for that reason moved that a com
mittee Of twelve-six Hawaiians, six
Americans-be appointed to draw up
a set of resolutions.
Hon. L. w. p Kanealii moved an
amendment-that the committee
consist of thirteen members.

to cover the subject, new words may
be added, but all the points or ideas
were in the resolutions Just read.
He moved that they be acted upon.
AIr. f. j. Tesla was then ap-
pointed interpreter.
DIr. j. X. Kahookano seconded the
motion to amend Mr.. Parker's mo-
ton on the appointment of commit
tee to draft resolutions. He thought
that separate resolutions should
be drawn up for the Queen and the
Queen Dowager, and for the United
States Government and the Charles
tons officers. Mr.. Parker accepted
the amendment to his motion.
Hon. A Rosa thought the matter
should be postponed till a larger
number of people would meet. The
question was one Of national import
ance, and larger audience should
be assembled to show their regard to
the American people for their kind
ness. He thought that the Australia
would bring more news in regard to
the matter, and there would be more
TO be considered. There should be
separate resolutions. All deeply felt
the debt to America, and it is proper
to have a larger assemblage.
