this well-beloved country. c. G.
Moreno is the heart from whence will
issue life to the real Hawaiians."
After four days of intense excite
ment, the king yielded to the storm.
Morenos resignation was announced
on the 10th, and his placed filled ad
interim by j. l.. Bush. On the 30th
Moreno left for Europe, with three
Hawaiian youths under his charge,
viz, r. w. Wilcox, a member of the
late legislature, twenty-six years of
age, Robert Boyd and James X.
Booth. 1t was afterwards ascertained
that he bore n secret commission as
minister pleniy otentiary and envoy
extraordinary TO all the great powers,
as well as letters addressed to the gov
ernments OF the United States, Eng
land and France demanding the recall
of the representatives. A violent quar-
rel had broken out between him and
his disappointed rival, Gibson, who
purchased the p. G. ADVERTISER
printing office with Government
money, September /, and conducted
that paper thenceforth as the kings
organ.
Mr.. w. l.. Green was persuaded to
accept the vacant place of Minister of
Foreign Affairs, September ID. In
few days he discovered what had been
representatives of the three powers
concerned of the insult that had been
offered them.
A meeting was held at his office be-
| tween the foreign representatives ON
one side and himself and j. e. Bush
| on the other, at which the letters In
question We're read. The result was
| that Mr. Green resigned and COM
| PEELED the resignation of his col
| leagues.
THE GREEN-CARTER MINISTRY.
Mr.. Claus Spreckels, who arrived
| September 5, took an active part in
| these events and in the formation of
the new Ministry, which consisted
| of w. L. Green, Minister of Foreign
| Affairs; III. a. p. Carter, Minister of
| the Interior; J. S. Walker, Minister
of Finance and w. n. Armstrong,
| Attorney General.
| The first act was to annul Moreno's
| commission and to send dispatches,
which were telegraphed from San
| Francisco to Washington, London
| and Paris, disavowing the demands
which he had sent. Moreno, however,
| proceeded on his journey and finally
| placed the Hawaiian youths, one in q
| military and two in a naval school in
| Italy.
THE KINGS TOUR AROUND THE
| WORLD.
The king Immediately began to
| agitate his project of a trip around the
| world. AS it was known ne was cor
responding with Moreno, it was ar
| ranged that Mr.. G.. III. Judd should
accompany him as chamberlain, and
Mr.. w. N. Armstrong as Commits
sioner of Immigration. He was re-
| ceived with royal honors in Japan,
| Siam and Johore. On the kings ar
| rival in Naples, Moreno made an
audacious attempt to take possession
| of his majesty and dispense with his
companions, but he met with more
| than his match in Mr.. Armstrong.
| The royal party visited nearly all the
| capitals of Europe, where the King
| added large number of decorations
| to his collection, and took particular
| note of military matters and court eti-
| quette. An Austrian field battery,
which took his eye afterwards, cost
the country nearly $4,000. During
the kings absence, his sister Mrs.
Dominisl, styled LiliuOkalani, acted
as regent. He returned to Honolulu
October 20, 1881, where he had a mag
nificent reception-triumpha arches,
torches blazing at MONDAY, and ex-
travagant adulation of every descrip-
ton.
TRIUMPH OF GIBSON.
During the kings absence he had
kept up correspondence with his
political workers at home, and, after
his return, he produced a pamphlet in
Hawaiian advocating a ten million
loan. Gibson's paper had been filled
with gross fiattery of the king and of
the natives, AMI had made the most
of the smallpox epidemic of 1881 to
excite the populace against the Min
istry.
Just before the election of 1882 a
pamphlet appeared containing
scathing exposure of his past career
Especially in connection with the
Mormon Church), backed by mass
of documentary evidence. Gibson's
only reply was to point to his subse-
quent election by large majority of
the native voters of Honolulu. Only
two other white men were elected on
the islands that year. 1t was the first
time that the race issue had super
ceded all other considerations with
the native electorate.
