The Memorial.
The memorial, which is addressed to

The Hawaiian people are moved with
the deepest concern in view Of the delayed
and uncertain condition Of affairs in
Hawaii. and also of the active hostility
that seems TO have suddenly developed in
the United States against the policy OF
your EXceIency and tile American Nd

stevens conspiracy the Hawaiian people

rights.
Second. That the inhabitants OF Hawaii
are now living under an arbitrary rule.

fidence In the administration Of justice
as the Supreme Court is now filled with
Adventures.

squandered for the maintenance Of an un-
necessarily large army, composed entirely
Of aliens.

royalists have been dlsarmed.
Sixth. That foreign clubs and leagues,
composed mostly Of Germans. Portuguese,
