Senator Thinks That They Want TO

The movement for the restoration OF
Queen I.fiuokalani to her former place
on Hawaiian throne, while IL is not
regarded seriously by many statesmen in
Congiess. is still active, and at times in

1t was stated that these delegates wonld

Betrayal of Christ Discussed by Rev.

Old St. Mary's Church. corner of Califor-

OF the Paulist Fathers, was we'll filled last
night by a congregation assemb' ed 10 hear
a lecture by Rev. Father G. J. Powers
The subject was 1.-THE Betrayal of
Christ" and the text was. ''They weighed
for my wages thirty pieces of silver"
Zacharias xi:12.
During his discourse and in substance
he said:
week ago we watched in spirit the agony
of Jesus Christ. We saw him prone upon the
ground beneath the olives of Gethsemane.
We beheld his de election, his sorrow, his an
guish of soul. his utter abandonment We
heard his prayer that If it were possible his
chalice of bitterness might pass away from him,
but we knew that it was 81 n that had made
that chalice bitter, knew that he suffered for
our transgressions.
We saw him atoning by his obedience for
our many disobediences. We trembed as we
beheld him draining that cup to the very last
drop. While his soul seemed breaking from
his body, while we almost feared to look u pom
him in his unspea akable misery, we behed him
shining in the ruby brightness of h is precio us
blood and an angel from heaven strengthen-
ing him.
Tonight in the same garden we shall wit
ness his betrayal. In that band that came
upon him are Jews of every rank and condi-
ton, OF every sect ana opinion Ali d1fferences
seem forgotten In the eagerness to keep toward
the head of the motley procession. Here are
officers OF the Sanhedrim, here guards of the
temple, here servingmen of the high priest.
And for once Roman and Jew are in accord
for here, too are Roman legionaries. tribune
and the soldiers of his cohort. And here in
the foremost rank CT this troop of Jew and
gentle walks one of the twelve, Judas Iscariot
Judas Iscariot. what dos thou here?" The
voice of the prophet answers: 'They have
weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver"
"Judas Iscariot. apostle of Christ, what dost
thou here?' The voice of him once an apos Il le
replies: "Whomsoever shall kiss, thati he
that is he; take hold of him and lead him
away"
Judas Iscariot has been bought. His avarice
has betrayed him. For sordid gain he has
sold his friend, his master, his God. even his
own immortal soul.

JAZZ PANESE COUNTS
As APPRENTICES
Four Young Noblemen on
the British Ship
Grenada.
Learning to Be Sailors So That
They May Become
Commanders.
The Peter Deniston Line of English
Ships Employ Only CIR.
man Captains.

The British four m asted ship Grenada,
now lying at section 2 of the seawall, en-
joys the unique distinction of numbering
among her crew four young men who are
OF noble birth and who will at some
future time each be known by the title of
count. Nor are they British subjects
either. They owe their allegiance to the
ruler of Nippon, the Mikado of Japan.
Some years ago the fathers of the young
mariners who stand high in the councils
OF the Japanese nation, decided that it
would be good plan to have their heirs
become sailors, tina. they might be a
credit to their country at time when the
land of the chrysanthemum should be-
come great maritime power. So the
owners OF the Peter Deniston line of
British iron vessels was applied to, and
for consideration the EN- bryo COM
manders were shipped as apprentices.
Those now on the Grenada are Denkicki
Mori, Satkichi Togami and Dogi Hagino.
ReystarO Takeda was also formerly an
apprentice on the Grenada, but has been
transferred to the Socotro, another ship Of
the same line. Ali of the young Japanese
are developing into smart sailors ard ex-
pect to command ships of their own within
a few years. Captain Korff says that they
are well behaved and obedient and as
good men as he would care 10 handle.
The Peter Denston line of ships, which
comprises the Grenada, Australia, Socotro
and two others, enjoys smother distinction
in that 1t is the only British line in which
all of the captains are Germans. Each
vessel carries four mates, and these in
almost every instance are also Germans.
This fact is accounted for by the cir
cumstance that while the vessels fly the
British flag and are under English register
the larger portion of the stock of the COM
pany to which they belong is held in Ham
burg and other cities in Germany.
The Grenada arrived here on Novem Der
II last. Just too late to save a splendid
charter that would have netted her owners
much money. She came here under
charter at 81 shillings, but as she came
ahead of time her owners did not allow her
to enter port but sent her north for a
cargo OF coal, trusting to get her back in
time to take he caro- for which she had
been chartered.
Bad weather prevented her from getting
in on time, and the charter lapseo. She
has been idle ever since, and has just &C.
copied charter for Liverpool at Is shil-
lings. She goes to Port Costa, to load coal,
this afternoon.
