tives from every nation under the sun are
gathered there. Leaving out the Chinese and
japanese. there Is left a population Of 63, 595
actually or nomiuallv Christians. OF these SIS
per cent are pure Hawaiisns, over 10 per cent
are OF mixed blood, and OF pure whites there
are about $4,000, constituting 81 per cent of
the citizens proper. The native race of Hawaii
which is certainly superior to any of the native
races OF the Pacific islands, is rapidly decreas-
ing. Liquor and the low state Of social moral
ity explain this decrease.
AREA OF THE INHABITED ISLANDS.
The total area of the inhabited islands of the
Hawaiian group is 6,64O square miles. The
area Of Hawaii-the largest-is 1910 square
miles. The capitau city has a population of
~. 4s7. The natives of the islands are closely
related in blood to the Maoris of New Zealand.
The islands are to great extent mountainous
and volcanic, but the soil, as has been in
timated, is very fertile. Besides sugar and rice.
the staple products, coffee. hides. bananas and
wool are raised and exported. The chief i'm
ports Of Hawaii are groceries and provisions,
clothing, grain. timber, machinery, hardware
and cotton goods.
The islands have direct steamer commuu;ca-
ton with this country, Australasia and China
The interisland traffic employs twenty
steamers and twenty-eight sailing vessels On
the Islands Of Hawaii Maui and Ohau there are
about sixty miles of railway and on the same
islands and between them $50 miles Of tele-
graph wires. The telephone is in use in Homo
lulu. Honolulu has also electric lights and
street railways. The government has good
postal service and postal savings banks. United
States gold and silver coins are current with
Hawaiian money and are legal tender in fixed
amounts.
THE OLD GOVERNMENT.
The government that has Just boon over
thrown was, as has been shown, limited
monarchy. Under the constitution the sx-
ecutive power reposed in the sovereign and
the cabinet, which consisted Of ministers of
war, interior. finance and an attorney general
Inc ministers were appointed by the sovereign,
but could be removed only by the legislature
The legislature ::consisted Of twenty-four no.
bles and twenty-four representatives, all elected
by popular vote, and the ministers who sat as
ex-otficio members OF the house of nobles
making ffty-two members, all sitting together.
The Legislative sessions were biennial. The
suffrage was limited by an educational qualif-
| cation. Mobiles were elected for terms OF two,
four and six years and received no pay for
their services. Representatives were elected
Tor terms OF two years and received e2s0 for
each term. No act of the sovereign could be-
come law unless countersigned by minister.
FREEDOM OF WORSHIP.

Wilder; but this I do know: The queen is
strongly in favor of British rule, and II allowed
wouid, have no doubt, apply to Great Britain
for protection"
''Why was the British government the only
one of the powers represented in Honolulu
that did not recognize tho provisional govern
ment?''
That do not know. England is represented
on the island by Commissioner J. II. Wood
house. He, in common with the other repre-
sentatives, was notified of the change in the
government. and returned no answer to the
communication. He may have changed his
mind, however, as he had an interview with the
acting president just before we left.
Queen Liliuokalani," continued Mr. Wilder,
If she had been allowed to carry out her plans
would have become absolute despot of the
islands. No whites would have been allowed to
vote. The house of mobiles would have been
abolished. and the supreme court judges. who
are now appointed for life, would have been
appointed for a six-year term only, and would
have been subject to dismissal at the within Of
the queen.
THE BOSTON THE ONLY WAR SHIP THERE.
1--WE are glad to have the United States ship
Boston in Honolulu harbor. She was the only
man-of-war in port, and while she did nothing
beyond landing armed sailors. who patrolled
the streets, yet the moral effect was good, and
probably Quelled any disposition to fighting on
the part of the natives had there been any.
1.-The Hawaiians as a rule are simple, peaceful
and incident people, and would probably make
10 trouble if left alone. They are easily tnfiu-
enced. though. by politicians, and are convinced
by the queen that she was acting in their inter-
ests. understand that the United States ship
Mohican has been ordered to proceed at once
to Honolulu to assist the Boston in maintaining
order. We would much prefer to have some
modern war ships like the Charleston and the
San Francisco. think the Boston will be able
to control the situation without trouble, but
more ships would do no harm"
MR.. THURsroS's STORY.
Probably the best story Of the revolution was
given by Mr.. Thurston. He said:
1T was known by those familiar with the in
side history Of Hawaii that the queen had been
plotting for a restoration of autocratic power
ever since she came to the thrown. She is a
woman Of domineering temper, and it CALLED
her to have to submit to her cabinet and the
parliament.
ITO her intimates she declared frequently
that she would like to see all foreigners thrown
out OF places of authority SO that the offices
might be given to native Hawaiians.
The constitution which she tried to impose
on the cabinet she had prepared months ago.
Sin fact. understand she had draft of it
made before her coronation. Its chief feature

ADMIRAL BROWNS VIEW.
He is Thoroughly Familiar With Affairs on
the Islands.

the Islands.
Acting Rear Admiral George Brown returned
a week ago from command of the Pacific squad
ron. He has been much at Honolulu and is
thoroughly familiar with the affairs of the
islands. In speaking yesterday at indianapolis
OF the turn affairs have taken he said:
"Oh. I'm not surprised that the queen has
been called down from the throne and prac-
tically retired. She is An obstinate. stubborn
woman. seif-wiiied and unpopular. and that
this uprising has come about was not to me uu-
expected. This act of the people was inevitable
As the constitution of 1887 deprires many of
the native Hawai- ians of the right of franchise
End limited the power OF the reigning soyer-
eign, the natives have been led to believe that
their only security would be a restoration Of
the old regime. The queen has been led into
the belief that If she embraced the cause of the
Hawaiians she would receive sufficient support
to warrant her in pronulgating the new consti-
tuition.
Then there is another fact that helped to
prec1pitate matters. The question of annexa-
tion has been brewing for some time but il was
understood that the question could not be con-
sldered SO long as monarchy existed In Hawaii
Hence 1t was absolutely necessary that the
queen be deposed.
Last. and very important factor" con-
tinued Admiral Brown."t be considered BY the
people OF HAWAII was the probable future reign
OF the Princess Kiuani. She is the niece of
the late kalakaua and is now being educated and
fitted for her duties in England as the heir APP
parent to the throne. With her English ideas
and teachings the people would have had no
sympathy. and had not the revolution come
now it would have been certain under the rule
of the princess"
"Do you believe that annexation will be
brought about by the new mover
mo. / do not; nor do l think annexation is
possible. On the islands are employed some
40, 600 contract laborers and this alone would
prove an insurmountable obstacle, because this
state of affairs would be directly contrary to the
United States Constitution. l am inclined to
the idea that an arrangement will be made by
which the islands will come under our protec-
ton, but not be part Of Us. There is not the
slightest cause for alarm over the recent over
throw Of the government The business in
terests are perfectly safe. / know the men who
are the head Of the new government and they
are cool headed and WISE"

HAWAII AND ITS PEOPLE,
A Description of the Life and Customs O
the Sandwich Islands.

There are thirteen Hawaiian or Sandwich
Islands, and eight Of them are inhabited. The
only one spoken Of in this country Is the larg-
est-Hawaii. The whole business of the island
centers at the capital, Honolulu. which is 9, 100
miles and SIX days sail from San Francisco.
The Hawaiian Islands are like poets dream
in wealth and beauty. Edwin Arnold has
called them paradise, and nearly every other
writer who has been there has said the same
thing. They have made thousands of people
rich and thousands of others happy.
When Capt. Cook visited the islands in 1778
he estimated their population at 400. 000 This
is thought to be 100000 or 100000 too many
With proper cultivation, it is safe to say that
the eight Inhabited islands will support 4 600 900
people. The census OF the islands is taken
every six Years. The last census, taken in 1880.

New Reading Terminal in Philade lphia.

New Reading Terminal in Philadelphia.
The Reading terminal station at 18th and
Market streets, Philadelphia, was informally
opened yesterday. The first train to go out
was the Harrisburg, Pottsville and shamokin
express. Notwithstanding me early hour there
was quite crowd present. and several news
paper men went out ON the train, returning by
the Reading accommodation, which arrived at
80 am, and WAS the first regular train to roll
into the station. The great train shed has been
completed. but the head house. q station is
far from completion. Half dozen stories have
vet to be built, and the waiting rooms, ticket
onices, &C., are in an unfinished state. Quick
sand has prevented the completion of the con-
nsction that ID to be made with the New York
line, and month may elapse before ali trains
are run into the new station. IN the meantime
scarcely any business will be done there except
the passenger traffic OF the main line. Land
spectators have been very active along the
line Of the road and extensive building opera
tions viii be begun early in the spring, which

OF the present cabinet officials two are Of
American parentage. Three Of the four were
born on the leland and one in Boston. They

Quality Not Quantity.

DIR. Bischoff. the celebrated professor
of the University of st. Petersburg, pub
lished a pamphlet in 1882 against the
study and practice of medicine by wom-
en-. In this pamphlet he declared that
women were physically unfit for heavy
studies. After careful investigation he
discovered that a woman's brain was
inferior to that of man, and that it
was incapable of any great develop
ment. He based this opinion upon the
average weight of the brain of a wom-
an, which was considerably less than
that of the ordinary man. In his will
he provided for the weighing of his
own brain, and put its expected weight
at pretty high figure. He died re-
Gently, and il was found that his brain
weighed considerably less than that of
the ordinary intelligent woman. The
ladies are delighted, and the women
have fallen back upon the theory that
it is the quality of the brain that
counts, and that the weight does not
amount to much. Some of them go so
far as to assert that if mans brain
were composed of as good material as
is put into spiders brain it would
make him mighty smart fellow.
