CALLED 1T WHITE RAIN. -



seen sno ~ Before.
Among the arrivals on the steamer
Gaelic at san Francisco recently was
the nobleman Kadcn Admin, son Of
the powerful chieftain NatOdi Laga,
of Java He is arrayed in the curious
manner of his countrymen, with san
dals on his feet, decked with gold, a
sarong bound around his loins, and
gold and diamond buttons on his coat.
Admin, the nobleman, is a daunt,
less, intrepid-looking man of about 81
years. lie is tall and has an intel
lectual-looking face. Admin has never
been in America before, and speaks
no English. A. r.. Kirkhoven, how.
ever, q fellow countryman who is
travelling with him, told all about
him. He said that the nobleman
lived in Sutaboime, had wife and
two children, and feeling it incum-
bent on himself to enlighten his mind
on the condition of the world, has set
out, like Haroun-al- Raschid, to be
gone for many months. With this
end in view he will visit Chicago,
New York, Boston, and other cities
of the United States, and may extend
his trip beyond the Atlantic.
"On the second day out from Yo-
kohama," said his companion, when
we were about $40 miles from land,
we ran into violent snowstorm.
When the nobleman, Admin, saw the
fakes fall upon the deck he thought
1t was the most remarkable thing
that could happen, and called the
dakes white rain. He had never seen
snow before. Later, when he saw the
passengers grasp the snow, press it
together into balls. and throw it
about he was amazed. Admin found

a resolution d%enouncing the queen and en-
towering the committee to devise ways
and means 'to secure the permanent
maintenance of law and order and the pro-
lection of life, liberty and property in
Hawaii"
Asked for Armed Protection.
This meeting adjourned between 3 and
-four o'clock in the afternoon. On the same
day, and Immediately after such adjourn
ment, the committee, unwilling to take
further steps without the further cooper
alton of the United States minister, adj
dressed a note representing that the public
safety was menaced and that lives and
property were menaced, M %cOnciuded:
w are unable to protect ourselves
without aid, and therefore pray for the
protection of the United States forces"
Whatever may have been thought of the
other contents of this note, the absolute
truth of this latter statement is incontes-
table. When the note was written and de-
livered the committee, so far as it appears,
had neither a man nor Il gun at their com
mand, and after its delivery they became
so panic-stricken at their position that
they sent some of their number to inter
view the minister and request him not to
land the United States forces till the
next morning, but he replied that the
troops had been ordered and whether the
committee were ready or not the landing
should take place. And so it happened
that on the 18th of January, between 4 and
5 in the afternoon, a detachment of
marines FROM the United States steamer
Boston, with two pieces of artillery,
landed at Honolulu. The men, upwards
of 100 in all, We're supplied with double
..A:l.z I'LL, HlI,1 ,...l ...-.-
and haversacks and canteens, and were
accompanied by IA hospital corps, with
stretchers and medical supplies. This
demonstration upon the soil of Honolulu
was of itself an act of war, unless made
either with the consent of the government
of Hawaii, or of the BONA fide purpose of
protecting the imperiled lives and prop
erty of citizens of the United States,
but ! there is no pretense of any
such consent on the part of the govern
ment of the queen, which was at that time
u%ndisputed. and was both the de facto and
the de jure government. In point of fact
the existing government, instead of re-
Questing the presence of an armed force
protested against it. There is as little
basis for the p%retense that such forces
were landed for the security of American
life and property. If so, they should have
been stationed in the vicinity of such
property, 50 AS to protect it, instead of at
a distance and so as to command the
Hawaiian government buildings and
palace. Admiral Skerrett, the officer in
command Of our naval force on the Pa.
cific station, has frankly stated that in his
opinion the location of troops was inadvis.
able if they were landed for the protection
Of American citizens whose residences
and places of business, as well as
the legation and consulate, were in
a distant part of the city, but tn.
location selected was a wise one if the
forces were landed with the purpose OF
supporting the provisional government
