FROM THE ISLANDS.
Natives Oppose AnEexatiOn-The
Sugar Situation in Hawaii.

Tie steamer Australia arrived Yesterday
from the hawaiian Islands, bringing ex-
changes to January 4,h. Mrs. Florence
Williams of Berkeley, well known in San
Francisco, is al present in Honolulu. The
Hawaiian Gazette says Of a course Of lect-
ures she has given there: Those who have
heard her speak do not n ed to be reminded
that her lectures are we'll worth hearing, as
they bear witness not merely to great natu-
raj gifts, but to wide attachments as we'll.
Mrs. Williams is a fluent and magnetic
taiker. and no one who hears her can fail to
to be stimulated and helped. She teaches
people to think when tley read.
One Of the native newspapers informs its
readers that on thcl anniversary of the
Queen s access on 10 tie throne, January
och, she VIII, with the advice and consent
OF her Prvy Council, grant a free pardon to
some prisoners now lncarcerated In Oahu

hat and walked out.
Regarding the denial Of r. Fl. Wilcox
that the Hawaiian letters recently printed
in the New York World were his, the Ad-
vertiseT says: The letters republished here
from the New YORK World correspond so
closely TO the utteTances Of Mr.. Wilcox, in
his several addresses here and on his tours
around the islands, that there can be no rea-
sOnable doubt Of their commences.
Unquestionably, says the Commercial Ad-
VeTiiseT, the most important event COM
meTcialy Of the year was the taking effect
o. the first Of April of the Mckinley Tariff
Act in the United States. which by remoy-
ing the duties from the produce Of all sugar
growing countries, destroyed at a blow the
advantages hitherto exceptional enjoyed
by Hawaiian planters. Every nerve was
strained throughout the islands to hurry
forward the first grinding Of the year that
the Old prices might be realized before the
fatal LIST. An unprecedented quantity of
sugar was sent TO San Francisco during the
first three months OF the year. three English
steamers taking la one week 1900 tons.
while the export for the quarter amounted
up to $4,000 tons.
The effect of this new tariff though strip
ping Hawaii Of something like two-ifths OF
the benefits conferred by the reciprocity
treaty, has not deferred some of our eneT-
getic citizens from emDarking IN new un-
dertakings, some on scale Of almost un-
pTecedented magnitude.

THE OLD MISSIONS.
A Paper by Postmaster Bishop
of Oakland.

DR.. L. r. Taylor presided at the monthly
meeting of the California Historical Society
last night. MIR. HittelI, the historian, read
a paper prepared by Postmaster Amos W.
Bishop of Oakland. 1t was entitled IAN
Historical Sket, h of an Early California
N isSion, Founded Trinity Sunday, June II,
1891"
Mr.. Bishop wrote of the Mission San
Jose and wildly described life as ii existed
in the cary missions Of California. The
Mission San Jose was in fact the
cradle of Alameda County. La the estab-
liShment Of the missions there were three
great agencies-the military, the civil and
the Ielgious-represented respectively by
the preside, or garrison, the pueblo or
town or civil community, and tho misSion,
CT church. The last played the most con-
spcuous part in the settlement of the
province of Alta California.
The missions were designed for the con-
version, 1.-THE ChTiSliauiZug and ciYlllZlHg
of the natives" 1 be mission buildings
were generally quad rllatcral inform. two
stories in height. lnclO sing a courtyard or
namented with fOun tams and fruittrees,
the whole consisting OF i church, Fathers
apartment, StoTe-houses, barracks, work
shops, etc.
In 1859 the California missions had
reached the zenith of their prosperity. At
that date the Mission San Jose lad 300 In
dams 10 Santa Clara's 1900 and Dolores
SEQ The Mission San Jose possessed $1,000
cattle. 100 horses and 1900 sheep, goats
and hogs. The harvest That year was I0,G00
bushels OF wheat and other cereals. The
cloth alone IN the stUTehOuse out Of which
dresses we're made for the neophytes was
valued at 10000. After Mexico threw off
the yoke OF Spain the secularlzatiou of the
missions began and from that time their
downfall was dated.
Henry du r. Pheian said he had recently
taken some photographs or the ruins of the
Mission San Jose, which he would present
to the society.
Secretary a. S. Hubbard reminded the
members Of the society TO procure at least
one copy of every book or pamphlet in
manuscript or print relating to California.
lie wanted every member 10 assist In the
work of mpleting the collection.
DR.. Taylor thought if the society never
did any other work the assembling of such
a collection would alone be worth its ex-
iStpnce.
