Night.

His majesty Kalakaua Of Hawaii rose
early q the Raymond hotel yesterday,
and as he took his royal bath the
majestic 1877 pounds which make up the
royal person shivered, and he decided
that this climate was not quite
as tropical as that OF Homo
lulu. His valet dressed him in a
we'll made suit OF dark blue cashmere,
and after breakfast he put on silk hat,
blue cheviot overcoat, and q short
stemmed pipe, and entered. his special
car and arrived in this city at about 10
O'Clock. He was met by committee
consisting OF Mayor Hazard, Gen. Nc
Cook and Lieut.. Baker, Col. G. Wiley
Wells, Major Bonebrake and COL. George

a native Hawaiian; Lieut.. George Blow,
u. S. navy, detailed by Admiral Brown
of the Charleston, the ship which
brought the king across, to attend the
king on behalf of the navy; Senator
George Whitney, of Oakland who ia act
ing as volunteer cicerone.
The party was driven at once to the
Hollenbeck hotel. where the parlors
had been exquisitely decorated
and placed at the disposal
of the distinguished guests. His
majesty lunched at l O'Clock and
spent the afternoon driving about the
city, and from 7 to 8 in the evening, he
held levee in the city hall. He took
desk in the council chamber, and for
two hours shook hands with the passing
throng. He was greeted by between
five and six thousand persons, as many
of whom as could grasped the royal hand.

The banquet itself was one OF which
the club Chef may indeed be justly
proud, and it is to be regretted that lack
tion OF It. After the COMP ss-n-rui nrc-
Cook called upon Hon. II. r. Hazard for
his address of welcome.
Mayor Hazard, in characteristic
speech, dwelt upon the existing rela-
tions between the United States and the
Hawaiian Islands, and especially upon
the courtesies extended by His Majesty
King Kalakaua to citizens OF the, United
States who visited his domain. He ex-
tended hearty welcome to the distin-
guished guest and wished him long
life.
In response 10 the toast of "Hawaii
and California's Nearest Neighbors and
Warmest Friends" Colonel J.J. Ayers,
in his happiest vein, also welcomed His
Majesty to Southern California, and ex-
pressed regret at the brevity of his So
journ here. He dwelt upon the similar
ity Of the climates and scenery OF South
ern California and Hawaii, and touched
upon the possible commercial con-
nections OF this section and the islands,
governed by the distinguished guest OF
the evening. As one who had resided
in the islands for long time, he testi-
fed to the truth of the mayors remarks
about the hospitality of the Hawaiians
in most eloquent and feeling manner,
and closed his remarks with the Ha-
waiian biblical phrase, Gina makewai
kehaha, homer aku," which was SUBJ
sequently translated by his majesty as
follows: "If your friend have thirst,
give him drink"
Admiral Brown, in response to The
Navy, made very favorable impression
upon his audience, by the practical,
cOmmon-sense view he expressed. After
reviewing the old and new navies, the
admiral referred to the Charleston, upon
which ship he had the honor of fying
his flag, as credit to the ingenuity OF
her builders and the skill of California
mechanics. In response to a question
by Colonel Ayers, he said he was not
only perfectly satisfied with his new
vessel, but that no better ship ever
sailed. The admiral also expressed his
gratitude, personally and officially, Tor
the reception his majesty had received
at the hands of the Southern Cali
fOrnians.
Colonel G. Wiley Wells responded to
the toast of The Army in his most
eloquent vein, and in expressing the wish
that the Indian bureau was under the
control OF the war department, said that
In his opinion the present war was the
result Of intrigue on the part Of the civil
officials, and that if the control of the
Indians was given to the army the war
would cease.
General A. Med. McCook, in his Off
cial capacity as representative Of the
United States army in the military de-
partment of Arizona, and in behalf OF
the citizens of Los Angeles, extended a
formal welcome to his majesty, and
dwelt upon the respect and esteem in
which King Kalakaua was held by every
ono who dasarvpd the name Of Amar1can
