February 10, 1913. On the arrival Of
the king from Lahaina, Lord Paulet
sent him six demands, threatening
war if they were not acceded 10 by
four pm. of the next day. These de-
mands chiefly related to fraudulent
land claim of Charlton's, and TO de-
cisions of the courts in certain civil
suits between foreigners. Before the
hour set for hostilities had arrived the
king acceded to the demands under
protest, and appealed TO the British
government for damages. But a
fresh series of demands having been
made and claims for damages having
been trumped up amounting TO $4,000,
the king decided, by Or. Judd's ad-
vice, TO forestall the intended seizure
of the islands by provisional cession,
pending an appeal 10 the justice of
the home government" The latter
disavowed the actions of Lord Paulet.

the Hawaiian, was hauled down by

ry of recent Hawaiian history. He was

in the right. Its account of the 20
years between the election of King

TAKE IN FLAGS AT NIGHT.
Correspondent of the New York sun
Thinks Old Glory Is Treated
with Disrespect.

A veteran writes to the New York
Sun as follows: The present profuse
display of national flags throughout
the city is highly striking, picturesque
and patriotic, but the well-nigh uni
yersal habit of leaving them out over
night or flying in rain and storm seems
TO indicate a lack of due care and re-
spect, however unintentionally this
may be.
Naval and military folk, whose pro-
fessional duty and honor il is TO carry
and watch over 'emblems of the kind,
would never leave them floating in the
darkness or to be whipped 10 shreds
and tarnished unnecessarily in times
of dripping or tempestuous skies.
Our ships, camps and fortresses fly
their flags only between sunrise and
sunset, and when in foul weather send
aloft some much reduced and worn
emblem, keeping the fuller spread OF
their triumphant banners for more fit
ting skies and daylight.
THAT such a course amply sufFices
needs noargument. No merely human
emblem, proud though il be, need seem
belittled with temporary effacement
before the dominant forces of nature
or its obliterating powers OF darkness.
why should not the public treat the
star-spangled banner with the same
soheitude and tenderness afforded by
its military guardians? Take the flags
in at night and in storms. Keep them
fresh and clean, to wave in unspot-
ted brilliancy over the return of our
triumphant forces at the end of the
war"

Kaahumanu, wife of Kamehameha l.,
as regent.
In 1926 the first treaty was con-
tracted between Hawaii and the
United States. In 1927 the first written
code of laws was promulgated. In 1882
the regent died, and in 1888 kamheham-
cha III. came Of age.
The next seven years form a most
important period in the history of
Hawaii. Foreigners seem always to
have been the disturbing element in
the islands, The principal opposi-
tion to reform" says a state docu-
ment, referring to the affairs in 1920,
was made by foreigners. The re-
gency OF Kaahumanu was disturbed by
"a depraved class of foreigners" who
resisted the police enactments. But
foreigners wrought good as well as
evil, aud the missionaries OF 1920 were
followed by Roman Catholic fathers in
1927. and by silkmakers and cotton
planters in 1885. The Catholic priests,
however, had been deported through
the influence of native chiefs, in 1892,
and on their attempt TO return, in 1887,
trouble was precipitated, leading
to persecution of native converts.
English and French warships inter
fered in protection of the Catholics
and an edict OF liberation was pro-
mulgated June Il. 1899. As the priests
involved were Frenchmen, France de-
manded an indemnity and a treaty
guaranteeing full religious liberty

The troubled career of Hawaii as
an independent power is therefore
practically at an end. So far as Chris

with the discovery of the islands by
the Spaniard, Juan Gaetano; il ends
in ls9s, with their absorption into the

bribes.
All this brought about the revolu-
ton of 1857. There resulted a new
constitution and great curtailment of
the royal power. A royaist uprising in
1889. led by one r. w. Wilcox. was put
down and soon afterward the king
died.
The republican indictment of Liliuo-
kalani is similar to the charges against
Kalakaua. THE history of her short
reign shows that il was her unaltered
/ purpose TO restore autocratic govern
ment." She had prepared acoupd'etat
/ for January Il, 1898, but her minis
/ tiers wavered at the last moment, and
according to the republican account,
"there was general uprising of the
conservative part of the community
similar TO that of 1887" and the repub-
lie was proclaimed.
The history of Hawaii under the re.
public is well known. \ treaty of an
neXation to the United States was ne
gotiated as soon as possible, but was
abandoned on the accession to power
of President Cleveland. The steady
agitation in favor of annexation which
has been going on ever since is too ia
miliar to need review.
In February, 1897, commissioners
were sent to Washington TO draft q
treaty of annexation. BY this treaty
the islands become the territory ot
Hawaii, all rights of sovereignty are
ceded to the United States and the lat
ter assumes the Hawaiian debt TO the
