The Haunted Palace.

IN the greenest Of our valleys.
BY good angels tenanted.
Once a fair and stately palace
Radiant -palace-reared its head.
In the monarch Thoughts dominion.
II stood there;
Never seraph spread a pinion
Over fabric half so fair.
Banners yellow, glorious golden.
Or its roof did float and flow.
This. all this. was in the olden
Time. long ago)
And every gentle air that dallied
In that sweet day,
Along the ramparts. plumed and palhd.
A winged odor went away.
Wanderers in that happy valley.
Through two luminous windows. saw
Spirits moving musically
To "A lute's well-tuned law,
Round about a throne. where, sitting.
Porphyrogene,
In state his glory well BETTING.
The ruler Of the realm was seen.
And all with pearl and ruby glowing
Was the fair palace door.
Through which came flowing. flowing,
flowing.
And sparkling evermore,
A troop OF Echoes. whose sweet duty
Was but to sing.
In voices of surprising beauty,
The wit and wisdom Of their king.
But evil things in robes OF sorrow
Assailed the monarch's high estate;
CAhi let us mourn, for never sorrow
Shall dawn upon him desolate.)
And round about his home the glory
That blushed and bloomed
Is but a dim-remembered story
sOf the old time entombed.
And travellers now within hat valley
Through the red-litten windows see
Vast forms that move Enthusiastically
To a discordant melody:
While. like a CHASTITY. rapid river.
Through the pale door
A hideous throng rus out forever.
And ~laugh-but smile no more.

WIDE OPEN FOR JAPANESE
ANY NUMBER CAN LAND UNDER
CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
They Must be Free From Disease, Have
Some Money, and Must Not Come
Under Contract.

All but six of the japanese laborers
who came here on the Gaelic and Hong
Kong Maru have been permitted by Inn
migration Inspector Brown to iand. The
time required for them to remain in
quarantine has passed and now the 200
laborers and their families are no
doubt, on their way to the various plan
tations. Most of the japanese who
came in these attachments claim to
have been here before. They assert
that they have worked on plantations
and are thoroughly familiar with the
work required. Many of the men say
they went back to Japan to bring theiI
wives and families to Hawaii.
Inspector Brown says that there is
no reason why any number of japanese
should not land here if they continue ia
come under similar conditions to the
last detachments.
IF they are able to show he said
that they have come of their own
volition and were not under contract tC
work for any one. that they have suffi.
cient means so as not to become a pub
| lie charge on the community and are
free from disease there is no reason
why any number of them should not
enter here. 1t is necessary to examine
and question all of them closely in or
der to determine these points which are
very important.
"All but six of the two detachments
have been granted permission to land
here and remain. The decision in these
six cases has not been final the Japa-
nese are being held, pending further
examination of their right to enter"

HAWAIIAN ENLISTMuNT.
Battalion of Enlisted Natives May Be
Stationed Here.

The enlistment of a battalion con-
sisting of native Hawaiians to serve as
an infantry aid to the heavy artillery
of the coast defense is a plan originated
by Inspector General Breckenridge and
heartily endorsed by Acting governor
Cooper.
General Breckenridge planned and
executed the enlistment of the Porto
Rican battalion and the suggestion of a
Hawaiian battalion became thus a ma
tural one. The determination of the plan
will be decided at Washington, but
General Breckenridge feels confident
that his report will bring about the
carrying out of the plan.
The battalion would be a branch of
the regular army and would probably
be garrissoned at a new post, probably
at Kahauiki.
Acting Governor Cooper gave the Ha-
waiians an excellent record as soldiers,
stating to the Inspector General that
the local company, composed of young
Hawaiians, had shown themselves mo-
dels in every way carrying off prizes
for Workmanship as well as drill.

LOCATION OF BARRACKS.
Inspector General Breckenridge in
Favor of Kahauiki.

The question of a permanent post fol
the army forces will not be settled by
Inspector General j. c. Breckenridge
during his visit here.
There are two matters to be settled in
connection with the naval stations be-
fore the location can be decided upon
These are the permanent situation of
the naval station and next, the placing
of the coast defense batteries.
General Breckenridge states that
there is still some doubht as to whether
Honolulu will be ultimately made an
infantry or an artillery post. In the
former case, the site at Kahauiki is
looked upon by the inspector general
as an admirable one, but if only such
heavy artillery are stationed nere as are
needed to take care of the guns, which
will be placed where they viii most ad-
vantageously protect the naval station
the matter of location will be another
matter.
Camp Mckinley and Pearl Harbor
will both be inspected by General
Breckenridge before he leaves for the
Orient, so that once the naval matters
are decided upon no further inspection
will be necessary to place the military
location.

BRITAINs FATE.

The two most powerful forces in the
new century will be Russia and the
North American republic, and to a great
extent the fate of the English empire
will depend on what these countries dc
or do not do. OF these two colossal en-
pires, the American republic occupies
a favored position. 1t is like a mighty
island, and as such it will be almost
beyond attack from the day when it
shall have a navy that can cope with
the vessels of England and that day is
sure to come in the near futrue.-Mu-
mich Allgemeine Zeittung.
