A Song Of Hawaii.

On the Pacific tide,
Where ships like white-winged sea birds play
But may not long abide
What means the signal that we see,
From the fair island on the lee:
To all the islands Of the group
Hawaii gives the name,
The chief and erandest of the troop,
1t holds aloft its flame
The burning mountain insthe sky,
The fiery banner flung on high.
o! Mauna Loa, mountain grand,
And Kilsnea near,
Where waves of IRE close by the strand
From unknown depths appear
TIL the wild natives heard with dread
Their angry gods In thunder tread.
Ali tits record sad we read,
dying nation there,
Since on their shore they heard the tread
OF foreign sailors near
The Malay race seems dying fast,
Like the wild sea birds hnrrying past.
But things so black and dread to tell
Are dying with the race,
As mountain fires, their dreaded hell,
Seem dying out apace-
While for the remnant on the shore
Changes have brought the open door.
BEST star of promise dawning near,
When news of Him who died
For all the sheep, made life less drear
BY the Pacific tide
And the new life and light that came
Shone brighter than the Loa's flame.
Twas Brltains sailor who the shore
Hailed first upon the wave
All honor to the race who bore
Their flag 50 true and brave
The Anglo-Saxon whom we boast
Our fathers dear upon this coast.
The Sandwich Islands then the name
That Cook, the sailor, gave,
When, on the voyage, known to fame,
He found by them his grave
And called them Sandwich for the man,
Britain's proud admiral in the vans
The tempting morsel now they bring,
The Hawaians, to this land
The sandwich at our feet they ding,
And bid US take in hand
What win it bel a wholesome meal,
Or lava fame that we may feel.
may not In my song decide
The question now at stake,
The right on yon Pacific tide
The islands fair to take
But TO our statesmen, wise and true,
We leave yon signal on the blue.
But still our song must freely now
About the islands fair,
Where summer breezes sweetly blow,
And springtime rules the air
Where palm trees wave upon the shore,
To greet the ships when half way Ger.
So near the Golden Gate they lie,
Those islands in the west,
The Stars and Stripes seem boating nigh,
As If for them the best
And brighter may that banner seem
For the red mountains fiery CLEAN.
Protect, we mast-we may annex
Let Princeton now decide
The questions that the powers vex,
Who sail upon the tide
Our wise men now in counsel here
May tell tonight which way TO steer.
One ray of Paradise had strayed
Ages ago beside
Their affairs, where all wrath was stayed,
Each trembling wretch to hide
Like Israers cities where of old
No harm the fugitive could hold.
Bright shadows both that TOLD Of One
Some day on earth to come,
To give the weary meath the sun
The peace and rest of home
And one dear refuge found at last,
Where storm and IRE and death are past

praiseworthy persistence. One young boy

Japan and Hawaii.

The Hawaiian question has re-
ceived a considerable amount of
attention. The prompt action of
the Government in despatching a
man ofwar to those islands, for
the protection of japanese there
has been applauded by the press,
excepting the Kokumin ShinaJun,
which states that the Cabinet has
done only what it ought to do,
and the Jiyu Aimbun, which
blames the Minister of Foreign
Affairs and of the Navy, for not
having sent out war vessel ear
lier. Lieutenant Some, a retired
officer of the Navy, is in Hawaii
as special correspondent of the
the Radical organ. He has been
urging upon the home authorities
the Importance of stationig an
war vessel in Hawaiian waters,
and the Jiyu now states that, had
his warning been duly attended
to, there would have been no
necessity for feeling any alarm at
the present juncture.-(Japan

CITATIONS FROM STATE
DOCUMENTS.
PRECEDENTs.
PRESIDENT TYLER's REPLY To
SECRETARY WEBSTER.

President Tyler, to whom the
message was addressed, spoke as
follows: Considering, therefore,
that the United States possesses
so very large share in the inter
course with those islands, it is
deemed not unfit to make the
declaration that this government
seeks, nevertheless, no peculiar
advantages, no exclusive control
over the Hawaiian Government.
but is content with its independ-
ent existence, and anxiouslv
wishes for its security and
prosperity.
WHAT SECRETARY MARCY WROTE IN
1853.
Secretary Marcy. in 1853,
wrote: while we do not intend
to attempt the exercise of any
exclusive control over them, we
are resolved that no other power
or State shall exact any political
or commercial relations from
them which We are not permitted
to enjoy, far less to establish any
protectorate over them
SECRETARY BLAINE TO MR.. COMFY.
Secretary Blaine, in writing to
Mr.. Comfy, said: 1.-The United
States has declined, even at the
request of the Hawaiian people,
to assume over their affairs a
protectorate, which would only
be thinly disguised domination,
and confined its efforts and its
influence to strengthen their gov
eminent and open to their COM
merce and enterprise the readiest
and most profitable connection
with Its markets, but this policy
has been based upon belief in
the real and substantial in
dependence of Hawaii"
WHAT SECRETARY WEBSTER WROTE
IN 1912.
Secretary Webster in 1912
wrote on the question as follows:
The United States, therefore,
are more interested in the fate of
the islands and of their govern
ment than any other nation can
be, and this consideration in
induces the President to be quite
willing to declare as the sense of
the government of the United
States that the government of
the Sandwich Islands ought to
be respected; that no power,
either. ought to take possession
OF the islands as conquest or
for the purpose of colonization,
and that no power ought to seek
for any exclusive rights or pre-
ferences with it in any manner
