 The mountains, which are covered with dense forests, are generally re- garded as untillable, but the future may disprove this conjecture. The timber, however, is of great value. The rains are brought by the trade winds from the northeast so that one part of the is- lands is the most fertile, as the noun tains in the background intercept the showers, leaving the leeward side al- most rainless.
 Hawaii, known to schoolboys a quar- ter of a century ago as Owhywhee, the largest island of the group, is the all important spot. It is the most eastern and of the most recent formation, con- sisting of a sloping belt of coast land, a high central plateau and the three prin- cipal mountains, the Mauna Ken, 14,000 feet high; Mauna Loa, an active volca- mo- 200 feet less in height, and Mauna Hualalai, towering 7,800 feet above the sea level. In almost every quarter of the island are extinct craters, generally overgrown with luxuriant vegetation. Several hundred square miles of Ha- waii are covered with recent and rather

hameha II became friendly with the whites at once. They were governed as an absolute monarchy and upon feudal principles until 1880, when Kamehameha III was induced to sign bill of rights and in 1840-2 to grant a constitution by which he surrendered absolute rule in favor of a government by king, nobles and people, with universal suffrage, houses of legislation, etc.
 The constitution of 1842 and the civil and penal codes were principally pre- pared by Chief Justice William l.. Lee, an American. This judge rendered great service to the nation, especially in con- veying to the common natives a third of the lands of the kingdom, which were formerly owned entirely by the king and chiefs. This condition continued until the accession of Kamehameha V, who abrogated it on Aug. 13 1864, and pro- mulgated in it's stead a constitution im- posing qualifications on suffrage and on eligibility to the legislature and cen- tralzing the government in the hands of the king. At this time even many Americans occupied various positions and salaried offices under the govern ment. It was, however, sui generis in the fact that it was the only nation on earth that had neither army nor navy.

20 degrees north. They are a land of summer beauty, the long sought ideal of Ponce de Leon, for they create the impression that within their confines may truly be found the fountain of per- petual youth. Their names in order from the southeast are Hawaii, Maui, Molokini, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, Kaui, Lehua, Nihau and Kaula and Bird island. Their total area is es- timated at 7,629 miles, about the size of Massachusetts, and their population is approximately 60,000.
 The native Hawaiians form one of the families of the brown Polynesian race, thoroughly distinct from the Ma lay and more akin to the Papuan, a people that inhabit the Marquesas, Tonga, Society, Friendly and Samoan groups, as well as New Zealand, though it has always been claimed that the fast disappearing Maoris of the latter are a separate race.
 The similarity of language, which IS very pictorial and expressive, with full vocabulary for all natural objects, Is so great that the Hawaiian and the New Zealander can readily converse with each other. They have tawny com- plexions, inclining to olive, without any tinge of red; black or dark brown hair, glossy and wavy; large eyes, flat noses and full lips. They are muscular, ac- tive and well formed.

Since the New Englander pushed his forceful way into that cline there has been rapid progress, and the city is one of beauty, with well kept streets, lined with palm trees, handsome resi- dences, embowered in shade and fruit trees, the gardens filled with rare, strange plants, blocks of business houses of the latest architecture and all the accessories of modern civiliza- tion-gas, electric lights and street cars, to say nothing of many other convincing evidences of material pros- perity and commercial enterprise. Schools, hospitals and public build ings add to the cosmopolitan externals.

 The capital city, Honolulu, is situated on the island of Oahu, the second of the group in size, and not on Hawaii, as usually stated. The highest mountain peak there is $500 feet. Maui, the third island in size, is composed of two noun tainous peninsulas, with the principal town, Lahaina, on the eastern one, con- nected by a low isthmus. Kaui, next in area, is exceedingly fertile and well watered and the most uniformly trop- ical in ch araeter. Molokai, still smaller, is mountainous, presenting @ magnifi- cent wall of precipices to the north, and has few inhabitants.
 Honolulu, the Gem City of the Pa- cific, is situated on the one really fine harbor of the group. It is protected by a barrier of coral reef and has 21 feet of water on the bar at low tide and from 24 to 40 feet inside. It affords safe anchorage, great facilities for the discharging of cargoes and is easy of access from all quarters.
 It is a paradise alike for the robust man and the invalid, being particular ly adapted as a place of residence for all classes.

Last summer there was some very sharp diplomatic correspondence be- tween our secretary of state and the Japanese minister, but the sincerity of the intentions of the United States was subsequently, recognized.
 The Hawaiian Islands, that first knew written language as late as 1922, have been so thoroughly Amercanized that the English tongue has superseded the native almost universally, and the cus- toms of the United States are more prevalent there than either those of the Kanakas or the phases of life prevalent at home among Europeans or orientals. Some of the small Hawaiian towns are exact duplicates of our country villages. The islands are today virtually an American colony, for they owe their progress and prosperity, with the pros. poets of a brilliant future, to the domi. nation of American enterprise.

Smith. went to Washington in Febru- ary, 1897, to open negotiations, in con- junction with the Hawaiian minister, for a new treaty of annexation. Sub- sequently Lorin A. Thurston and Will liam A. Kinney were associated With the Hawaiian minister Francis M. Hatch, and on June 16 Secretary Sher- man signed for the United States a treaty with these plenipotentiaries.
 Some months ago it was rumored that Japan would oppose by force, if neees- sary, the annexation of Hawaii to the United States, but that countrys legal rights having been respected, as they will be conserved, there is no further danger of an imbroglio with the pugna-. cious oriental nation. The treaty made between Hawaii and Japan in 1871 con- tains the favored nati)n" clause, and under it's provisions Hawaii cannot pre- ] vent Japanese from coming to the is- | lands as free immigrants. law was passed to exclude lunatics, paupers and | persons liable to become a burden to the community, and the manner in which it was enforced led to the con- troversy with the Japanese govern ment. Another law restricted the im- portation of contract laborers in man. ner which the Japanese held to be con- | trary to existing engagements.
 Though but few of the Japanese on
 the islands are able to read or write
 either English or Hawaiian, which con-
 stitutes the qualification for the fran
 chise, the Americans there have be-
 leved that the continued settlement of
 these orientals and the influx of edu-
 cated Japanese would result in the
 transfer of power to them and the
 adoption of such laws as would make
 Hawaii practically if not nominally
 Japanese colony.
 l The first restricting measure was a | regulation of the immigration commits sioners, issued in 1895, requiring plant CTS to import two-thirds of their con- | tract laborers from China or from other l countries than Japan. There followed | a succession of minor troubles, the gov | ernment at one time sending back to Japan more than 400 newly arrived im- l migrants. Two years ago a Japanese l warship, the Naniwa, was dispatched to | Honolulu, but she found the United States steamer Philadelphia in the har- | bor and what she might have intended to do to helpless republic was check.

 A staple of diet with the natives, or Kanakas, is the great variety of fish with which the waters abound. The flora includes the almost incredible number of 400 species. There are the CO., coanut, banana breadfruit, pandanus, cordylne and taro, or kalo, which is the principal food of the Hawaiians. The products of the islands are extensive, including sugar, rice, cotton, coffee, to- bacco, sandalwood, arrowroot, wheat, maize, tapioca, oranges, lemons, tama- rinds, guavas, potatoes, yams, fungus, hides, tallow, pulu and ornamental woods Cattle, sheep, goats and hogs are raised in great numbers. Herds of wild cattle descended from some stock introduced by Vancouver in 1793 roam in the mountain forests and are hunted for the purpose of obtaining their horns and hides.
 The noted harbor of Pearl River is six miles from Honolulu, and there in the future will be built a great naval sta ton, with docks and yards, around which a city will eventually spring into being.

A Verfable Garden Spot Nesting In Midocean- The Equable Climate and Wonderful Natural
 Resources,

Hawaii is land of eternal sunshine, of lovely summer temperature, where extreme heat is never known, the mean temperature being F5 degrees. It Is re- markedly healthful, the equable climate being particularly beneficial to invalids, though it is naturally more bracing in the mountains, and objects of marvel ous beauty abound on every side. The country has a luxuriantly fertile soil and such slight drawbacks as earth quakes and volcanoes. But, then, the islands are of volcanic formation, the fertile lands being in the beautiful val leys and the belt of alluvial soil on the shore. The uplands are better adapted to grazing than tilling, but there is a vast profusion of tropical fruits, grains can be produced in two or three annual

Sanford B. Dole, the president, who recently made a visit to this country, was elected for the term ending Dec. 31, 1900. The legislative power is vested in a senate and house of rep resentatives, the former consisting of 15 members elected by indirect suffrage for the term of six years, one-third be- ing renewed every two years; the latter, of IS members, elected by indirect suf- frage every two years. The president is elected for six years by the two houses in joint session. It has always been understood that the Americans, who are the controlling spirit in Hawaii, when they overturned the monarchy only desired annexation as a territory to the United States.

 But political events have developed in the Hawaiian Islands of late years with marvellous rapidity. When King Lot (Kamehameha V) died, in 1872, without leaving an heir or appointing a success sor, William Lunalilo, descendant of an old family of high birth, was elected king on Jan. 8, 1873. He died in Feb ruary of the following year without is- sue, and David Kalakaua, high chief, was elected in his place by parlia- ment assembled on Feb. 12, 1874 for that purpose. In 1881 this dusky mon arch made tour of the world, and nu- merous stories are related of his buff foonery and his fondness for poker playing and champagne. In the fall of 1890 he went to California for his health and died in San Francisco in 1891.
 His successor was his sister, Queen Liliuokalani the widow of MT.
