Sunday Fishing.

A Japanese was fined yesterday
for fishing on Sunday. The man,
who is in the employ Of we'll
known Hawaiian fisherman, put out
his net at $3.50 p. m. on Sunday. He
explained to the Judge that in
Japan a day means the space of
time from sunrise to sunset, and
that he thought that Sunday was
over at $3.50 O'Clock in the afternoon.
The Judge told the Jap that he was
not in Japan at present, and must
comply with the Hawaiian ideas of
the calendar, and he fined the Jap
81 and costs. The Judge incident
ally stated that it is commonly ru-
morsd, that even Government Off
cials are fishing on Sundays, and
that was possibly the reason why
the Jap got off go cheaply. The
proposition that anyone drawing a
Government salary should be fish
ing on Sundays must have been very
shocking to Judge Wilcox.

PRESIDENT KAULIAs SPEECH.
MIR. Kaulia spoke to the following
effect and was frequently interrupt
ed with hearty applause:
"Mr. President and the Hawaiian
People:-We have gathered here
this afternoon to consider ques-
ton that has been before us for the
last four years-that Of the aunexa-
ton Of this, our land, to the United
States. Yes, you have heard about
it over and over again through the
columns of the press and by word
Of mouth, and you have all con-
sidered it we'll; but, you, who love
your country and your nation, you,
to whom by rights all things here
belong, are you going to allow your
land to be given to the United
States9 (Cries of "No, mop from
the people.) We have been told
over and over again by some people
what good thing annexation will
be for these islands, the land OF our
birth? but / tell you, if we ever get
annexation to the United States, we
may consider ourselves in the posi-.
tion OF being buried alive
FOREIGNERS WILL POUR IN HERE
and then, my friends, to what place
will we be scattered7 tAnswer from
the people: "To the mountains |
see you are in sympathy with me.
Then let us stand as unit against
any such measure as is now being
considered. America has done us
no wrong, but it is this Government
in power to-day that has Invested us
OF our rights and our heritage.
They are trying to coax the United
States to take us. We must not
allow such thing as long as our
protests will do any good.
"If we are annexed to-day, the
morrow will bring us no good. Not
80 with the rich people, the men in
power to-day. They will reap the
harvest, Our profit will be where9
Our gain will be from what source9
We meet here to-day as peaceably
inclined and law-sbiding lot OF pee-
pie, but our opinions, freely express.
ed, we wish all to hear. We come
not with arms into bloody conflict
but with thought and resolution
into what we believe to be our
rights as the people OF this land.
"LET Us STAND APART
and against this measure that is so
obnoxious to us, for If the people
with the white skins come they will
take everything. Wherever the
white man goes the colored races
all over the world succumb and die
before them and are wiped off the face
Of the earth or made slaves. You
know that. 1t is the history OF all
times. If we say No to annexation
do not think the United States
will annex us. The people Of that
great land have always been set
down as just. They will not, at this
hour, seek to diverge from that path
If annexation ever comes, it will
come from us, the rightful owners
OF the land. We are against it and
let us stand together. The Govern
ment here is trembling to day be-
cause annexation does not seem to
come with the requisite speed. II
we are ready to give our land to
America, all we'll and good, Let us
do so and pass vote to that effect
(Cries OF No, uo!O Then it is our
work to stand against it, 80 that in
December the United States will see
Just how the Hawaiian people
stand. Let US one and all say: NC
