This was the invocation offered at
the Flag Raising by the Rev. q. L.
Pearson:
Oh Lord Our Heavenly Father. the
high and mighty ruler of the universe,
who hast made of one blood all ma
tons to dwell upon all the face of the
earth and hath determined the times
before appointed and the bounds OF
their habitation, we heartily entreat
Thee to graciously hear our prayer.
In thy providence Thou hast brought
us to this significant time, the consum-
nation Of great and important event.
Let thy benediction be upon us and
all the interests that center in this i'm
pOrtant hour. May thy blessing abide
with Hawaii mel. Remember In mercy
her institutions and all her people.
Bless her president, her statesmen. her
citizens and all who have contributed
to her present prosperity and glory.
We most earnestly pray Thee to re-
member her native sons and daughters.
Be thou their friend and saviour and
by thy providential care may all things
work together for good to them. May
all the people appreciate the greatness
of their inheritance this day received
and may all that works for justice and
mercy and peace be conserved and in
tensifed by this change OF national
life.
BY Thy favor oh Lord, bless Amerl-
ca-the Nation of thy providence,
which now becomes Our Country.
Bless her in this addition to her broad
domain and to the number of her free
and noble people. May her banner
wave forever here and under its glori-
Gus fold in all our broad land may
there abide our people-a people who
love justice and mercy and peace.
May the union of these two Republics
rebound to thy honor in the well be-
ing of the people and the advancement
of our national power and glory. oh
Lord remember our beloved President,
his Cabinet and our National Congress
and may they have wisdom and grace
commensurate with their present needs.
Bless our armies and navies and give
them success, and grant us peace--a
peace that shall secure justice to an
oppressed people.
Oh Thou Eternal God, Come Thou
and reign over all nations of the earth
and may thy will be done on earth as
1t Is in Heaven through Jesus Christ
our Saviour. Amen.

THE CEREMONY.

At 10 o'clock the First Regiment be-
gan to assemble at the drill shed and
marched out promptly a half hour
later. In the mean time those who had
secured seats on the veranda OF the Ex-
ecutive building began to assemble.

spective positions. Parties in car
riages were invariably directed to the
rear OF the building, from which they
passed through to seats on the official
platform or the verandas.
The Citizens Guard was the first mil
itary body to reach the grounds. The
sixteen companies, under Senior Cap
tain McStocker, marched over from the
Judiciary building and took their stand
on the left OF the official platform. In
front were the Sharpshooters and c.

way to the left OF the stand was the

directly in front was a battalion OF 319
men froT the Philadelphia and Mo-
hiCan, under Lieutenant Commander
Stevens. To the left OF the official
platform, directly in front OF the
grounds used for receptions to the Boys
in Blue, was the Second Battalion,
First Regiment, Maj. Mccarthy, and
to the left OF these troops the guard
of the day, under Capt. Coyne.
The Hawaiian National Guard met
the American troops from the warships
in port at the boat landing on Queen
street at IL o'clock and escorted them
into the grounds, arriving there about
ll:30. In the battalion OF American
troops were two sections Of heavy ar
tillery, the remaining companies pa
radng as infantry.
In front OF the Executive building
all OF the Hawaiian members of the
band, sixteen in number, were so over
come by the events that they retired
and would not play the national an

tears in many eyes, both native and
foreign, when the flag of Hawaii came
down, but all rejoiced and shouted

all, the spirit of liberty, OF tolerance
OF absolute fairness to all. To see that
American Flag on the public build
ings here was what some men had
striven for for many years, was what
many had worked for early and late,
consistently and earnestly. They saw
first desire accomplished. But their
hearts went out in sympathy to those
to whom the momentous incident
brought genuine grief
The ceremony Of the noon hour OF
Friday was the elimination of a
series Of significant and purposeful
acts extending over the past five years
and half. Annexation, insuring sta
bility OF Government, internal peace
and commercial prosperity, was ac-
complished in fact by the simple cere-
mony with its three central figures SO
splendidly set. President Dole, Amer
lean Minister Sewall and Admiral Mil
Ter were the principals in the happen
ing
Hawaiian Sovereignty was once
transferred to England and was given
back again. 1t was once transferred
to the United States Professionally and
given back again. 1t was offered to
the United States nearly half a century
ago. Now 1t is gone. Now the Govern
ment of the Hawaiian Islands Is part
and parcel OF the Government of the
United States.
A tremendous event has gone on
record. Never before has the United
States SO acquired territory. Neve,
before has the United States acquired
such territory. The Annexation of Ha-
change in the policy Of the American
Government. The country has out
grown the warning OF Washington.
For Hawaii, Annexation marks new,
smooth and certain career, though
there are a number OF serious prob
lens In local government yet to be
handled. There is here yet much work
for those who have carried forward
the Annexation movement, or perhaps
1t should be said the work Is for all
those who wish Hawaii well.
The day for the Annexation Cere-
monies was cloudy till the Hawaiian
Flag came down and there were light
showers. So soon as the Stars and
for the rest of the day its rays were
unobstructed by clouds.
Ceremonies for Annexation were
simple and brief and when they were
ended all agreed that the very best
judgment had been used in deciding
upon the manner in which the transfer
should be made. There was no crush
Of attendance. Upon the grounds were
several thousand people. Practically
the only demonstration was three
cheers for the New Flag. The town
was quiet all day and all evening.
There was appreciation of the solem-
nifty OF the affair. Many newspaper
reports of the transfer are being pre-
pared. To be truthful these cannot
describe anything in the rank Of an
ordinary jollifcation or celebration.
There was realization fully OF the i'm
port OF the occasion and all thoughtful
people appreciated that there was vast
ness and meaning in the Flag Raising.

STRONG ! AND SOLEMN.

This town attended Friday only
10 the Flag Raising. 1t was the same
in the outer settlements and districts
rs on this Island of Oahu. There was
no doing OF business. There was no
hurrah like on other holidays. A few
people did indulge in some private
merry-making after the ceremonies at
the Executive building. About every
person who saw the ceremonies, and
probably all Of the people who did not
witness the transfer felt that the occa-
sion was q solemn one. The transac-
ton was In every way impressive and
OF greatest strength. Few OF those who
attended failed to feel emotions In ac-
ton. The spectacle was one Of life
time. 1t made a varying appeal. Old
Glory has always had here the respect
OF all people. So has the Hawaiian
ensign. Some have loved one flag bet
ter than the other. But no man who
is a man escaped a pang Of sentiment
or sorrow when there descended from
the State building for the last time
the flag Of a nation that has SO long
held an honorable and noteworthy
place in the great family OF the great
er commonwealth. There were not
many native Hawaiians present to see
the Transfer Of Sovereignty. There
were present many men who had lived
most pleasantly and happily under the
Hawaiian Flag and who regretted
deeply not that Annexation had come
about, for they rejoiced In this, but
that they saw a Flag Of People low
cred. 1t was solemn, it was sad, 1t
makes . remembrance that will dwell
with man forever.
There were two great moments or
dieting periods in the transaction. One
was when the Hawaiian Flag came
down. The other was when the Stars
and Stripes went up. The interest the
tension, was breathless Ideas and
thought images rushed and surged.
With the Old Flag wers endeared as
sociations. To many who looked 1t
had been the only Flag for all life to
yesterday. There were others who
had come to love 1t and cherish 1t and
felt pain that the course Of events had
forced 1t away.
Cheers went up with the American
Flag. 1t was a more beautiful banner
than ever to many and to all 1t told
that beneath its folds there would ever
