and manned by twelve .oarsmen, came
along side the vessel. The captain
fastened to receive a verydistinguished
looking gentleman. BY the joy on the
faces of Madame de Sorgnes and her
daughter, Tiomane guessed that 1T was
the husband and father.
The Happiness of meeting seems
sometimes to make up for the pain of
separation. Monsieur de Sorgnes
folded his wife and daughter in his
arms and then turned eagerly to Gull
laume, from whom he had been separ-
ated ever longer than the others.
AS he offered his arm to his wife to
conduct her to the boat, she intro
duced her protegee. He pressed his
lips atfectionately to the brow of
the little stranger, and welcomed
her most kindly to his family. The
little girl understood that he had been
informed of her heroic act. Tiomane
found herself seated in the boat be-
tween s'Mademoiselle" and Martha;

nent expression, under the cold aeexte-'
rior Of the diplomat. The Bay Of
Smyrna is one Of the wonders Of the
world. A poet has compared it to a
cup Of sapphire infusion, rejecting a
heavenly land. It is Ionia, the birth
place OF gods and goddesses; where
nature attracts, charms, intoxicates;
where the air is heavy with perfume
it is lovely Olympia. The consul's boat
stopped at the foot of a white marble
staircase, shaded with jessamine. A
broad avenue led to the gardens,
which were. really orange 0
surrounding the mansion. 1t was
a model of elegance and good
taste, in which the Grecian and
byzantine styles of architecture were
mingled; cupolas, colonnades, ara
besques, balconies, carved with such
exquisite delicacy that they might be
called lace work in stone, and then
those oriental verandas, aerial bou-
doris, decorated with tapestries,
faienee and Towering plants. The
story Of the marriage of Monsieur and
Madame de Sorgnes would make a
charming chapter for a novel. At 90.

diplomat was passing through Smyrna,

The Hawaiians and many of the for.
eign royalists are now tumbling over
each other to take the oath of allegi-
ance. But there is really danger from
the Japanese. There are $1,000 of
these in the islands, about II, 900 being
laborers on the sugar plantations.
Many japanese are in trade. Those
on the planta tions have grievances
against their superintendent. All
have grievance against the Govern
ment because they are not allowed to
vote. a treaty made in 1871 provides
that the Japanese may come to the
islands for residences and trade. This
treaty cannot be abrogated except by
the consent of Japan, which will never
be given. They continue to come in
large numbers. When Japan is through
with China, inflated as she will be
with her victory, it would be easy for
her to send few warships and capture
the islands. She might indeed be dis
lodged by the United States. But SER
ious complications might ensue.
"Do believe in annexation? Yes. |
Nine.tenths of the property in the |
islands belongs to Americans. We are |
bound TO protect those Am ericans and |
their property. The latent resources |
of the islands are very great, and they |
would enrich us. The islands are ours |

rOyalists and the Hawaiians are now |
more and more favOring annexation. |
We are not always going to pay 150,-I

nations to carry our commerce. The |
Pacific is yet to be the imperial sea.
For the protection of our future com.

islands. For the defense of the inn
interests of our long Pacific |
coast we shall need them. Christian |
civilization and the peace of the world |
will be subserved by our having them;
for they must belong to Japan or Eng
land if we do not accept the proffer |
they are making themselves to us.
By annexing them as territory we |
can solve the social questions involved |
and can defend them at little cost"

Among other things, DR.. Hutchins
said; "The landing of arms was dis
covered Sunday evening, and while
the police were surrounding a house
four miles from the.city, where arms
were stored, the rebels opened fire
upon them. Young Carter, a promin-
ent and popular young man there,
and two other members Of the Citi-
zens Guard, hearing the firing, hast
ened to the spot. Carter was killed.
The militia, the little army of regu-
lars and the Citizens Guard were
gents, who had expected to enter the
city and capture the Government
building at O'Clock Monday morn
ing, were scattered to the hills and
separated into two bands. They num-
bered but about 100, though 300 had
promised to report for duty. Monday
morning martial law was proclaimed
and that day they were dislOdged
from the two heights where they had
made stand, and number surrend-
cred, while the rest dispersed in little
groups among the mountains. One Of
these groups subsequently made a
stand, but after sharp firing retreated
by mountain pass.
"There were in all, three engage
ments called battles but the con-
spiracy, which was imbecile in its
plans, was practically squelched with
in twenty four hours of its discovery.
The Government forces amounted
altogether to 1900. Within a few days
800 men, including suspects and the
leaders of the plot, who had not risked
their skins in the fight, were in all.
The court sat in the throne room of
the palace, now called the Govern
ment building. The prisoners were
tried in patches according to the ma
ture of their Indictments. They were
conducted between lines of soldiers
through silent crowds from the Jail to
the court room Soldiers with fixed
bayonets were stationed around the
room and near the prisoners. Two of
the half-White leaders turned states

festivities were in progress. Resi-
dences and stores OF japanese through
out the city were decorated with flags,
bunting, lanterns and flowers. Every
son and daughter OF the Mikado's
realm, in Honolulu and elsewhere,
that could be present took part in the
celebration. Every Japanese place OF
business was closed and from most OF
them string OF lanterns was
stretched across the street or arranged
in different positions.
The first event on the programme
was an army and naval parade from
the city up Nuuanu to the japanese
consulate. The naval forces assembled
near the engine house on Maunakea
street and, headed by the Hawaiian
band, marched toward Nuuanu.
Following the band was a miniature
cruiser, Shinodi Kahn. The man at
the wheel was assisted by q small boy.
An elderly individual representing an
admiral was seated astern with an
opera glass. Three boy aides were at
his back. All aboard were dressed in
regulation uniform. The cruiser was
hauled along by ten japanese repre-
senting part of the crew. A feature
of the navy consisted of a small body OF
men dressed in loose garments and
wearing long swords. Around their
heads were wrapped strips of white
cloth. They represented the execu-
TONERS.
The o. r. g. l.. depot was used as
assembly place for the army forces.
Infantry, artillery and cavalry corps,
dressed in uniforms representing the
various departments, were included.
Those in the army were about equal
in number to the navy.
Amid music from the Hawaiian
band and explosion of fireworks, Con-
sui Shimiku received representatives
of the army and n avy, together with
prominent japanese residents. Con
gratulations were heartily and freely
offered on all sides.
Shortly after IL o'clock the process
sion, with the band, navy and army
in the order named, marched from the
Consulate to Independence Park,
where the remainder Of the pro-
gramme was carried out. The street
corners along the route were densely

crowded with spectators. Following
the procession were carriages contain
ing Japanese ladies.
Following were the officers in COM
mand Shirogawa, commander-in-
chief; Yosimoto, chief OF the staff :
Misino, chief commander.
A mishap occurred on King street,
near Thomas Square. The wheels Of
the white cruiser refused 10 longer
sustain their burden and collapsed.
The wreck was placed on the side OF
the road, and a Japanese with tin
horn left in command.
Arriving at Independence Park the
procession paraded The grounds, finally
breaking ranks.
The pavilion and grounds were
decorated in characteristic japanese
fashion, the most conspicuous being
the triumphal arch at the gateway.
This was some thirty feet high and
bound with japanese colors-red and
white. At the top were two japanese
flags crossed and hanging in loose
