In conversation with a representa-
tive of this paper yesterday afternoon
at hts rooms at the Hawaiian Hotel,
Herr Prudential expressed himself as
more than pleased with his visit here,
and has nothing but the highest APP
probation of the culture Of Honolulu
people and Of the beauty Of Hawaii Mel.
I'm all my travels" said Herr Frie-
denthal, land have yet to learn OF
part of this habitable sphere which I
have not yet visited, have never
found a peer to this beautiful land. I
have witnessed the famed beauties Of
Ceylon, Gambia, Madeira and the Ca
naries, but It is reserved for this, my
last tour Of the world and my second
visit to these Islands, to find the most
beautiful Jewel of them all-the Para
disc of the Pacific, Hawaii"
Speaking OF his travels and In ans
wer to q question as to his tour
through South Africa and the Trans
vaal, Herr Prudential said:
with regard to that matter you
must not expect an impartial opinion
from me, for I have seen too much OF
the English not to fall in line with the
strongest admirers Of progress and
award them all honor for their mighty
effort toward the advancement Of the
world, ard yet one cannot but sympa-
thize with the Boer in his trouble. The
Englishman in the Transvaal looks
upon the Boer somewhat in the same
manner as he would a pig; to him he
appears a slovenly, filthy, hypocritical
rogue, content to dawdle his life away
In raising few sheep and cattle for
his own use, and taking neither part
nor share In the development OF the
natural resources of his country; but
In this the Englishman is mistaken;
the Boer has but one book-his Bimle-
and he firmly believes In Its teaching;
nor is he as filthy In habits as is said.
He il ignorant, inasmuch as he does
not care for the world outside the
Transvaal; he IL cunning, but 1t 10 the

whom he Is brought In contact too oft
en- for his own prosperity, but he Is
truly hospitabie to every stranger; he
loves his veldt, his horse and his rife
as his life, and most certainly he will
cheerfully lay down the latter in en-.
deavoring to retain the former. He
does not wish to close his country, like
China, but he does want the manage
ment of his country to remain in hif
own hands: he knows he Is already In
a minority 80 far as numbers are con
cerned, and he knows also that as soor
