rOwtul Scenes al the PaIace--The
Queens Grief.

Five O'Clock was the hour officially
fixed for the landing of the late
Kings body from the United States
Flagship Charleston yesterday after
noon. Captain Shepard of the Unit
ed States ship Mohican had been un-
der orders, from Rear Admiral
Brown in San Francisco, to make
arrangements for the fitting return OF
His Majesty to bis royal seat when
surrendered by the Charleston on Sa-
turday next from the republican yet
regal hospitality of the great Ameri-
can Union. The same gallant COM
mander, Captain Shepard, was now
charged with the sad duty of arrang-
ing Tor the respectful return of the
inanimate clay of the lamented mo-
march 70 his late realm. Well did he
perform the mournful service. The
Governments arrangements on shore
were equally perfect, a creditable
fact considering the short time at
disposal.
The place appointed for the land
ing was the Inter-Island Steam Ma
vigation Company's dock, the very
spot where the late King only two
months before had quietly taken
leave of the dignitaries of his king
dom, as he embarked on board the
Charleston for his visit to the United
States, whence it was fated he should
never return alive. At this spot the
frame of triumphal arch of well
come had been erected. The motto
in the Kings mother tongue welcom-
ing him back to sit on his throne had
been already in place when the It'd
ings came that for Kalakaua there
was no more crown ON earth. Now
the glad inscription is yelled with the
insignia of woe, and the rough tem-
porary braces are swalhed in the
somber habiliments Of mourning.
Then the sunshine of one of Hawaii s
most glorious days seemed to pro-
mise reunion of prince and people
happier than the parting. Now a
clouded sky and weeping elements
were in sympathy with the extin-
guishment of all the loyal hope and
goodwill that followed the sovereign
on his last living voyage.
The scene at the landing was one
never to be forgotten by anyone
therein mingling. In every direction
landward stretched sea of human
ity, composed of almost all nation
allties under heaven. A solid mass
of all races, sexes and ages occupied
all the adjacent standing room allow
ed, while carriages, shipping and the
vast lumber piles bore hundreds OF
curious spectators.
A squad of police under Captain
Kamana and Lieuts. Nanoolewa and
Kaiana were on duty keeping an am
pile space clear at the landing. They
performed this service with credita.
BILE efficiency, keeping the front
ranks of the crowd "dressed" in
military exactness. In consequence,
the throng was rescued from what
would otherwise have been the SEM
blance of a confused mob, and gwen
the respectable appearance of a
great, well-aligned, hollow square of
well-behaved people. This was eff
fected by the policemen being STA
toned in front at intervals of fe "
PAGES, while the officers in charge of
them attended to The odd corners.
Better results could not have been
secured by any equal number of po-
llcemen.
