stats on all the government buildings,
and exactly at five minutes to the sainf
hour, the Stars and Stripes foated OIL
the tropical breeze from every official
flagstaff.
The ceremony of today was a most
impressive one. To hear the strains ol
HHawaii Ponoi" for the last time. as a
national anthem, to hear the bugle
blow taps as the Hawaiian ensign sank
from it's position, and to notice the
emotion of many who had been born
under it and had lived their lives un-
der it, was solemn. But then came
the bright call for raising Old Glory,
and the strains of the ''Star Spangled
Banner broke forth as that banner
was unfurled to the breeze.
Then the cheers broke forth, and eyes
which had been dim for a few mo-
ments became bright and lightened up
when the Stars and Stripes blew out.
The picture presented in and around
the extensive building was most strik-
ing. In the grounds and around all
the approaches were crowds of onlook-
ers of every station of varied nation
ality. Notably remarkable was the
number of Hawaiians. Within the
grounds the military and naval display
was fine. Hawaiian troops, United

sented splendid appearance, while
the platform for the exercises and the
of the executive building were

stream out in all their beauty.
A few minutes after the hoisting of
the official flag, others were raised from
the two side towers, and from the mill
tary headquarters.
Minister Sewall then read procla-
nation stating that President McKin-
ley directs that the civil, judicial and
powers of the government shall
continue to be exercised by the officers
of the republic of Hawaii. All such
officers will be required to take an oath
of allegiance to the United States, and
renew their bonds to the United States
government. The powers Of the minis
ter of foreign affairs will cease, so far
as they relate to diplomatic intercourse
between Hawaii and foreign nations.
The municipal legislation of Hawaii
and the existing customs regulations
will practically remain in force until
the congress of the United States shall
otherwise determine.
Following the reading of the procla-
Minister Sewall made an ad-
