and with oil and mele the procession
made its way to It's destination at the
next station Her Majesty appeared very
much gratiied at the numerous
expressions of good will and once re-
marked to me that if | had caused her TO
be elected she assuredly would have ap-
pointed me one of her ministers | re-
piled that although my father was an
Englishman he believed it was for the
best interests of the country that there
should be a king at the head of the
nation rather than a Queen and that 1t
was preferable that American influence
should sway the throne rather than Eng
fish as we feared it would be If We
elected Her Majesty. Also that | had
asked her what her wishes were on
former occasion and she had assured me
! that she did not contemplate being a can

KAHANA
After breakfast the next day, all feel

journey for Kahana.
Here a Chinese, Apakana and his Ha
waiian wife. Mary, sister to Kamakini,
received us all verv warmly and had
made great preparations for our enter
