Charles T. Gulick, w. T. Seward,
John F. Bowler, Robert w. Wilcox,
John II. Wise, Joseph Clarke, ]. w.
Bipikane aud John Lilikoi, the re-
maining political prisoners, were par
doned and released at 10 o'clock New
Years morning, this course having
been decided on at a special meeting
of the Council OF State on the morn
ing of Dec. 31st. Petitions from all
the parties expressed deep regret for
the part taken in the late revolution
and promised fealty to the Republic.
At $3.50 the eight prisoners were
called up and heard their pardoDs
read with great interest. There were
no outsiders present, though some bad
been invited. The Government was
represented by Minister Damon, At
torney- General w. o. Smith, and
Judge ]. A. Magoon for the Board of
Prison Inspectors. The Attorney
General read the pardons and made a
few remarks in kind tones, which
were replied to by Major Seward with
sentiments OF regard for clemency
extended by the Government. The
Others showed appreciation by grasp
ing the hands of the officials.
There was large crowd of natives
outside the gates, AID when the Ha'
waiians came out they were greeted
with loud cheers.
Concert at Y. NJ. c. A.
The New Years evening entertain
ment at the Y. NJ. G. A. was attended
by large audience and was success

The organization, consisting of twenty
members, played eXcellently, the
greater portion of the audience being
taken somewhat by surprise, not ex-
pecting such proficiency in the short
time it has been at work. Miss
McGrew rendered a fine violin solo,
Miss Richards sang, Mrs. Thos. Black
recited, the Y. II. Institute gave two
vocal numbers, and the boys class of
the gymnasium gave dumb bell eXer-
cises. The Indian club swinging by
David Unauna was good. Quite a
handsome sum was realized.
Waianae Excursion.
The break caused by a washout on
the o. R. & L Co. track to Waianae
was fortunately repaired in time to
admit of the excursion which was
thought must be postponed. During
the morning various places in the
city were telephoDed TO saying that
the excursion would be run. This

hundred Kamehameha boys and as
