 land. President Dole Is a member
 and attends the meetings regularly.
 In addition to myself there were other
 American guests present, the most
 prominent ofwhom were United States
 Minister Willis, and the captain of the
 warship Bennington. At this meet ing Dr. Rodgers, Secretary of the La Dor Bureau, read an able paper on the labor problem, which was thoroughly discussed and commented upon. One cannot but realize the force of Ameri- canism in the club. Chief Justice Judd, of the Supreme Court, and Pro- lessor Alexander, the historian, are members of the club and were born on the Islands, yet they, with the others, argued. the question from an American standpoint.
 The meeting was at the residence of pr. Hyde, and, altho I studied him closely all evening, discovered none O. the "incarnate fiend," which Steven son represents Mir. Hyde to be in his novel.
 It was while living at Sans Souci that Robert Louis Stevenson conceiv- ed and wrought out his wonderful book, and I decided to visit the fam ous resort. To reach Sans Soucs 1 had only to take the Waikiki street car, go to the end of the line, and walk the rest of the way The ride is a pleasant one, and we'll worth the time and ten cents it costs to make 1t. It was about two o'clock in the afternoon when I boarded the car driven by native and went rolling along the street past the government grounds and buildings, past pretty houses half hidden by graceful swaying palms, ferns, and the rich tropical foliage. past banana plantations and groves of tall cocoanuts, for long stretches with the sea beach on one side and a delight ful grove on the other.
 The manager of the famous resort showed me the room which had been occupied by Jules Verne and Robert Louis Stevenson, also the tables at which they wrote, and narrated some anecdotes about them. The1r rooms fronted on the beach, After a sea bath, I returned to the cool lama, and was joined by MT. Thomas E. Evans, a gentleman who is stopping at Sans Souci. MT. Evans who is Royalist of the most pronounced type, is a Canadian by birth. He was promi- nent in pushing the lottery scheme to which the missionaries objected so strongly. Mir. Evans claims that 1t was no worse to have lottery on the Islands than for thousands of dollars to go out of the country every year to lotteries in other countries. At the time of the overthrow of the Queen, he was in Chicago closing up the con tract with a company of capitalists for the lottery. He says that the Chicago people were to pay the gov ernment five hundred thousand dol lars year for twenty five years for the franchise, Of this sum one hun dred thousand year was to be ex- pended for cable to San Francisco, one hundred thousand year for the Oahu Railroad, twenty-five thousand for the encouragement O; tourists travel, seventy-fve thousand for i'm provement of roads and bridges, and one hundred and twenty-five thousand for the opening of Pearl Harbor Mr. Evans did not state what was to be l done with the other seventy-five | thousand dollars, though 1t was prob ably to be used as pin money for the Queen. The rosy-hued visions Of Mir Evans with other ROyalists were all dissipated by the sudden revolt of the missionary element, and the subse- quent overthrow of the queen.
 The sun was setting when I left Sans Souci, and it was nearly dark by the time I reached the street-car line. No car was in sight, and I was told that it would be fifteen minutes before another would come along. Il walked about two hundred paceS further down the track to where d
