witnessed in this city. The selec-
ton of the harbor gave to specta-
tors the best and the largest oppor-
tunity for obtaining a full view OF
all the numbers in the program,
which consumed nearly two hours.
Besides the vessels moored in the
stream and along the piers, the
boat houses at the east end and the
railroad wharves at the west, fur
nished ample room for the vast
crowd that gathered, to the city
front. Those who were entrusted
with the details of this opening
scene of the celebration, deserve
credit for its most satisfactory exc
cution. The weather was all that
could be desired, and the Glorious
Fourth began in an illumination
such as the occasion called for.

The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-07-06

BY the Mariposa's mail which
brings the text of the new Annex
alton Treaty, is also received a
few of the comments of foreign
papers on the matter. On the
whole, the coming annexation, is
looked upon as the logical out
come of the course of events for
many years. No opposition is
likely to be offered by any nation,
with the possible exception of
Japan. Her opposition, if any,
may be said to resemble that of
the man in church who arose
when the banns were read, and
any person having any objection
was asked to make it known.
When asked to state his grounds,
the expectant audience was cleo
trified by the answer, 81 want her
myself!'
The London Globe says, "Great
Britain claims the right to be
consulted before the annexation.
of Hawaii is finally decided upon"
VIII the Globe kindly state,
whether the United States, or Ha-
wall was consulted before the
seizure and annexation of the Gil
bert Island? Did it say "by your
leave" when Johnson's Island,
Hawaiian territory by the way,
was annexed? How was it also,
in the recent case of Fannings
and Washington Islands? The
Post of Berlin probably cries the
official German view of the stu
alton, when it says, Germany
has long regarded Hawaii as with
in the sphere of American inter
ests, and can scarcely find any
pretext either to question the
right of the United States to an
mex, or to interfere by protest or
obstruction"

From Tuesdays Daily.l

Seldom, if ever, has more rep
resentative assembly greeted a
public speaker than that which
filled the Opera House yesterday
Every seat was filled from floor
to ceiling, and every foot of
standing space, while outside was
a crowd of several hundred per
sons, unable to gain entrance.
And this large audience assem-
bled TO do honor to the occasion
and the day, comprised not only
Americans, but men and women
of every nationality, and among
them representatives of the edu-
Gated class of Hawaiians, both
male and female. The choice of
Minister Sewall as orator of the
day was a most fortunate one,
and his appearance was greeted
with a welcome which of itself
showed that he was among
friends. He spoke without notes
or memoranda of any kind, indi-
eating that he was no stranger to
the platform. His address will bel
found elsewhere and it breathes al
spirit of cordial friendship as the
representative of America to Ha-
waii and to her nation, as well
as to her foreign population.

GRAND BALL
Elite of Honolulu Present in In
dependence Park.

VI
dependence Park.
The grand ball in Independence Park
Pavilion last night was one long to be
remembered. The place was crowded,
the elite of the city being present in
large numbers. Among the guests of
the evening were: American Minister
and Mrs. Sewall, President and Mrs.
Dole, American Consul General and
Mrs. Haywood.
The Reception Committee was COM
posed of the following: w. Porter
Boyd, chairman; F. B. McStocker, F.
c. Smith, ]. N. Wright, T. B. Murray,
George N. Hayward, U. S. N; George
H. Paris, H. F. Wichman, j. A. Gilman
and w. H. Hoogs.
The band was stationed on the plat
form at the Eva end of the hall and
furnished the music for the dance. For
the singing, which came after each reg
ular dance, the orchestra from the
band was used.
After the eighth dance, supper was
served, the guests going to the large
dining room, the members of the COM
mittee and their friends having their
refreshments served in tent to the
rear of the pavilion.
Supper over dancing continued into
the small hours, when all departed for
home after most pleasant evening.
Independence Park pavilion was de-
corated as 1t never has been before and
as it is prettry safe to say, never will
again. The credit for the most artis-
tic and wholly pleasing decoration is
due Mr.. G. W. R. King, to whom the
Fourth of July Committee wisely sub
mitted everything in that line for the
ball last night.
The whole idea of the hall decora-
lions was of course to make people
see at a glance it was an American
holiday that was in process of celebra-
ton. This object was accomplished.
Stars and Stripes were on every hand
but in all this, courtesy to the other
nations was not forgotten, for their
flags were placed in prominent places.
There was one feature aside from the
beauty of the decorations that must
have been called home to every one
and that was the absence of that cum
bersome hanging of flags and bunting,
which on previous occasions of the
kind in Independence Park pavilion,
has proven such source of discom-
fort to the guests, not simply from the
clumsy appearance, but from the fact
that the cooling breezezs were to a
large extent shut out, making dancing
hardly pleasure.
All the decorations were trained up
wards; IL such an expression may be
used. The flags were draped up as
high as possible, and wherever there
was a chance for the admission of air

The reception of United States Min
lister and Mrs. Sewall from 8 to 6, was
held at their home in Waikiki, where
they have recently moved, and was
attended by several hundred people
who, thanks to the kindness of the
host and hostess, were given a most
| pleasurable afternoon.
Upon entering the spacious grounds
one was Immediately struck by the
beauty of the decorations in flags of
various nations, signals and bunting.
All around on the verandas were flags
forming curtains, while out in the
yard were strings of signals and other
| flags, some draped and some just
hanging naturally.
On the lawn to the left was stationed
the United States ship Philadelphia s
band, while to the rear of the house
was a quartet of native singers sit
ting amongst the tables, upon which
refreshments were served to the guests
by servants, under the direction of the
following ladies: Mrs. J. S. Walker,
Miss Carter. Miss Sarah Carter, Miss
Widdifield, Miss Damon, Miss Neu-
mann, Miss Ethel Smith.
The guests were met at the entrance
to the large dining hall, decorated with
American flags, palms and ferns, by
Minister and Mrs. Sewall, who were
assisted in receiving by Mrs. Boards

Minister, Salisbury, replied in a
defiant dispatch, breathing blood
and thunder to anybody who
said a word against British
movements in Venezuela. 1t was
Just here that Queen Victoria
made her influence felt most un.
mistakably. She sent in haste for
her Prime Minister to have a
private interview. He went, lis
tened to her strong words for
peace, and directed him to change
the course of action of her Gov,
eminent. She would not permit
war with America on such ques-
ton as that about Venezuela.
The conference was short and de-
cisive, but the Prime Minister
soon after wrote another dis
patch to Lord Ponsonby, the Brit
ish Ambassador at Washington,
couched in very different Ian
guage, which dispelled the war
cloud, and opened the way for
arbitration, that finally culminat-
ed in what is now known as the
Venezuelan Arbitration Treaty.
1t is not generally known that
Victoria was the one who caused
the sudden halt, and brought
about a peaceful solution. All
honor to Britain's noble Queen!
May she live forever!
The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-07-06

The political news from Wash
ington is most decidedly favor
able, so far as it relates to la,
waii. The treaty has been signed,
as before stated, and is now in
the hands of the Senate. AS the
present extra session of Congress
was convened solely to pass a new
tariff bill, it is not to be expected
that any other important business
would be taken up after that
work has been accomplished. 1t
was generally understood that the
clause in the Dingley bill which
the Senate threw out would be
restored by the conference coin
mittee, allowing sugars lc enter
free. This is more likely to be the
course adopted, inasmuch as the
annexation treaty is before the
Senate, with every probability of
being ratified Immediately on the
re-assembling of Congress in De
cember next.
