reached San Francisco, where he
remained for a couple of months.
The American Missionaries, who
have been identified with these
islands for many years, took the
matter in hand, and assisted
the King in the negotia-
TORS, which, however, failed,
and the King returned home last
month by way of Honolulu, leaving
the affair in the hands of parties in
San Francisco who are interested
in the trade of the group 1t would,
however, appear that the authori-
ties in England have not been
sleeping over the matter, and have
forestalled the Americans by first
proclaiming protectorate. The
islands of the group include Bu-
taritari, Makiu, Apamama, Tarawa,
Maiana, Kuria, Tamana and Apia,
Nanouti, Peru, Drummon, Byron,
Francis and Arurai. Apamama is
one of the principal of the islands,
and in former years several of the
Auckland vessels visited there,
though of late none of our vessels
have gone so far north. Some time
ago Apamama was visited by a
British warship, as complaints had
been made against the King by
some of the neighboring islanders
for the high-handed way in which
he was conducting himself. It
appears that he had in the way of
trade become possessed of goodly
stock of arms and ammunition,
and used to make periodical excur-
sions to the other islands and take
as prisoners all the islanders he
could lay his hands on, and compel
them to work at cobra-making at
| Apamama. The captain of the
| warship, after due inquiry, eau
toned the King, and evidently did
| good, for the King made no more
| excursions of a like nature. In
some articles by Mr.. R. l.. Steven
son on the islands, he mentions a
visit made to the group, and gives
a very interesting account of them
and the manners and customs of
| the natives. The authority of the
Protectorate will, we presume, be
! exercised by the High Commits
| sioner of the Western Pacific. The
purposes in view in constituting
this office in the first instance were
to carry out the provisions of the
Pacific Islanders Protection Acts
1872 and 1875, and to provide a
Civil Court for the settlement of
disputes between British subjects
living in these islands.-New Zea-
land Herald, July 25.

GILBERT ISLANDS.
Recently Annexed By Great
Britain.

From a cable message published
in another column it will be seen
that Great Britain has established
a proteetorate over the Gilbert
Group of Islands, which are stu
ated in the Central Pacific, near
the Equator. These islands, which
are about sixteen in number, are
very productive of the various arti-
Giles of island produce, such as
cobra, ETC., large quantities OF
which are annually exported to
Europe by way of Sydney, the
group being visited by the steamer
Archer, of Messrs. Henderson &
Macfarlane's line, at stated periods.
The bulk of the trade, however, is
in American hands, there being
quite number of vessels trading
from San Francisco to the islands.
The principal island of the group
is Butaritari, which is about
twenty-five miles in length and a
half mile wide, and rises out of
the sea to a height of about eight
feet at the highest point. A lagoon
runs along the lee side for about
twenty miles, and it is five or six
miles long. 1t is sheltered from
the ocean by coral reef which en-
tirely hens it in. The island is
covered with trees and vegetation,
and although the water is not good,
rain falls in abundance. 1t is
about as pretty an island as there
is in the ocean. The Gilbert Isl
anders are among the very few Of
the inhabitants of the Pacific Isl
ands who have retained their indie
pendence, but latterly they have
been In a continuous dread of be
ing annexed by the Germans
Each of the islands is governed by
its own chief or king. In Marcel
last a conference was held at Blu
taritari of the chiefs of the various
islands composing the group, re
presenting population of abou
10000 or 10000. AS a result of tn,
meeting King M'bora, of Butari

United States to endeavor to secur

Where to Find His Father.

In certain New York public school there
was a particularly bad youngster who, Tor
narrative purposes may be known as
Smith. saws tho Youths Companion. A pc
culiarity attached 10 Smith was that ne
seemed TO have no home. and though tue
other boys frequently traIlcd 1im IN the
most approved detective fashion they
could never succeed IN locating the smith
sonian domicile.
The same cloud Of mystery which en-
yeloped Smiths house enshrouded his
family. He never spoke OF them. and as
far Is appearances went was q lone orphan
without kith or kin, SO the belief soon be-
came general that there was terrible Sc
cret hidden away somewhere IN smith ;
young life.
One day during the morning session the
mysterious youth IN spirit or unwOhted
sportiyeness caused his deskmate acute
personal discomfort through the medium
of a min bent in tho traditional manner.
He was taken red-handed and hauled to-
fore the principal. smith remarked the
august parsonage, "you will nave 70 take
q letter from mo to your father at once
informing him OF your bad behavior.
Where can be be found 2"
He Of tho bent pin answered with wall
of despair.
"One second TO tell me Or" and tho
pricipal poised his nice new rattan.
~ can't tell you out loud.' howled
Smith. "an' won't; l don't caro- II you
do lick me-"
Then you NAV whisper it,
The principal inclined his ear and Smith
gasped therein the single line:
